I am very happy. God brought him to help poor people. If everybody is like him, Nigeria will be good. I pray God will keep him and his household.
I am grateful. Life is getting better for me, especially when people started coming to my aid. Though everything is not money. At the same time, I am grateful, things have changed for me.I will start a business and at the same time continue with my job. I really want a better job. Please, help me appeal to the Federal Government to come to my aid and get me a better job.She said.
It's nice to see Josephine Ugwu the airport cleaner being rewarded,because in Nigeria where there is so much unemployment and poverty,it is amazing that a person who earned such a small salary would do such a honorable thing as to return 12 million Naira!
Josephine Ugwu,you are more than an airport cleaner in our eyes,we salute you!
