A young Nigerian lady living in Korea has gone viral after her landlord gifted her a large sum of money for being an exemplary tenant. The lady shared photos of the currency on social media, revealing the amount in Korean won and its equivalent in Nigerian naira.
Landlord's Generous Gesture
According to the lady, who goes by the handle @Mairo_Mbs on Twitter, her landlady gave her 300,000 Korean won, which is approximately 282,000 Nigerian naira. The exact conversion is 271,152 naira. The landlady explained that the reward was because the tenant had never received complaints from neighbors and caused no damage to the property.
@Mairo_Mbs expressed surprise and gratitude, stating: "She said since we've never had any complaints from the neighbors and didn't cause any damage to the house, she wanted to give it to us as a thank you. Honestly, I was so surprised and grateful."
Social Media Reactions
The post attracted numerous comments from social media users. Some praised the landlady's kindness, while others made comparisons to Nigerian landlords.
- @saintmichail_ commented: "Why not come back to Nigeria so your landlady will give you 300k or maybe increase your house rent? You guys will be abroad and be spilling rubbish. Why not come back home?"
- @LeonardoOkojie asked: "For those economic illiterates that like asking 'what can N10 buy you in Nigeria'... can they answer my question? 'What can SKW 10 buy you in South Korea?'"
- @Seyiquadri wrote: "Seriously... You've enjoyed another person's country, now come back home, build a house, and start giving your tenants cash back."
- @Idarabasimi shared: "This warmed my heart fr. As a Nigerian abroad, maintaining that 'no drama' rep is the real MVP move. Your landlady get sense!"
- @hkmftk noted: "But ordinarily, most Nigerian landlords will never do this. We have a long way to go in this country."
- @Mhizta9ja added: "Wow, this is incredibly wholesome! In a world where landlord/landlady stories are usually filled with premium drama, you actually found a real-life angel. Having a landlord appreciate you for just being a good, peaceful tenant is rare anywhere, let alone internationally."
- @EtimRaw said: "Wow, that's such a kind gesture not every landlord would do that. Respect for being good tenants and gratitude for her generosity, this is humanity at its best."
