After describing how he accidentally received a ₦2 million loan from OPay instead of ₦300,000, a Nigerian man caused a stir on the internet.

The incident has received a lot of attention online after @toshine4u shared it on the microblogging site.

The man claimed to have received a notification on his OPay app stating that he qualified for a loan up to ₦2 million.

He explained that he chose to apply for ₦300,000 because he needed approximately ₦250,000 for urgent use.

He was surprised to see ₦2 million credited to his account after inadvertently making a mistake when choosing the amount..

In his words:

“I got notification on my Opay app that I can get ₦2 million loan. So yesterday I needed just ₦250k, so I decided to apply so I can take only ₦300k.

Where I was pressing the amount, I never knew that I made mistake and before I know, I saw ₦2m in my account.

Since I need just ₦300k, I quickly send it out from the ₦2m to my other account and I called the customer care to withdraw the balance cos I can’t pay the interest added to that ₦2m.

The customer care representative is telling me there is nothing they can do. Please what can I do to avoid paying the huge interest?”
