35 year old Peter Angelina, who makes a living selling tissue paper at a traffic light junction at the corner of Calle Juan Diaz de Solis and Ruben Dario in Seville, Spain, was selling his wares on Dec. 3rd when he noticed a small briefcase left on the roof of a car. The briefcase fell to the ground when the driver of the car pulled away. Peter picked up the briefcase and ran after the vehicle, trying to flag the driver down to return the case to him but couldn't get the attention of the driver. He then took the briefcase to a police station near the junction.
When police opened the briefcase, they found €3,150 in cash and six cheques with a combined value of €13,000 as well as some documents and a mobile telephone. More money than the man who left Lagos Nigeria for London, then Spain over 10 years had ever seen in his life.
According to Euronews, Spanish Police tracked down the owner of the briefcase, a 42-year-old businessman from Seville, and returned his belongings. The man later found Peter and rewarded him with €100.
"People say I could have kept the money and then thrown the briefcase away but I am not like that, and God wouldn't have liked that. I am not crazy, I am a good man." Peter later told local mediaTurns out Peter Angelina is a doctor, but cannot practice medicine in Spain because his diploma from Lagos University is be recognized there. He started studying medicine in Seville five years ago and sells tissues to afford his studies. He also gets a little financial help from his father who reportedly works in the police force in Nigeria

#Commenting thru Glo 4G LTE
Linda, do justice to these names listed below.
Peoples comment/ nominees on these blog is becoming nuisance. I believe all the people deserve something, it's a research from me to you. And I will keep posting these everyday until you do something about it, the fact that you pick 3 people & leave others is unfair, some names on my list might not be consistent & some might be new commenter (joined middle of these year) but they are all addicted to your blog. These are the names left behind;
1. Alloy Chikezie
2. Bonita
3. Willieminna Moses
4. Cute G
5. Bishop DAMMY
6. Shina shine
7. Kween
8. Christie Benjamin
9. Queen maya
Some of them are old & consistent, some are old but not consistent while others are new & consistent. They deserve something better like onyx Godwin, Bonario & Ed Dreamz
I rest my case......
God bless his wonderful heart. What a good name he has created for this country.
Your comment will be visible after approval
Ok's ah ode man.
Oh peter! Such a good and contented fellow. Most Nigerian r suffering over seas o. This is the type of story Nigerians should be know for not the psycho that murdered his wife and abandoned his baby.

Hmmm.. Good of him...
Commendable! The Nigerian govt should start organizing awards for such people to encourage others that might want to do otherwise
Thumbs up man!!!
Who say better thing no good? At least make we hear one good news fron naija guys abroad. Well done Peter, God will reward you more for being a patriotic and true Nigerian.
The cash prize he received is too small if u asked me. Compared to what was found.

Good news, good name is better than gold and silver. God will also reward you His own way.I did the same thing here when i found a wallet in the mid night containing money and a new iPhone left behind the swimming pool in the hotel where i resided for one month. A white young woman from California visit the swimming pool that night and left. I have to look for her and return the money and the iPhone after i report the issue to the hotel in the morning. She offered me money but i refused it, then she decided befriend me saying you're a very good man, now i can see that not every Nigerian is bad, i found a good one. Even the manager of the hotel visited me in my room and told me that he respected me for that and discounted 5 day off and refunded me back my money cash.
