The background to the story, is that of a rare show of virtue and selflessness by  Ami Victor Ugochukwu. He is a 100 level student of the department of Political science of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, who has unwittingly launched him out for strings of honour and rewards.

According to touching story, Ugochukwu does not have a  phone himself. Not even the cheapest popularly called “kpalasa” or “Torchlight”. But he picked a phone on a particular fateful day on campus at the Ignatius Ajuru University in Port-Harcourt, and returned the phone to the owner. 

Dr.(Miss) Pat. Spencer, a Lecturer, had misplaced her phone after a Senate meeting in the University. Expectedly she hysterical and informed her colleagues. Not sure,they started calling the phone. 

Surprisingly, Ugochukwu, 100 answered the call thus:”Are you the owner of the phone?.Yes, but it belongs to a Lecturer.”Where are you Sir, and what are you wearing?” The questions dazed the Caller, and after some silence, he answered “I am wearing a T-shirt on a Jean Trouser “OK, I am in front of the shopping complex” he said, adding you can come.As soon as the Lecturer got the news, she was hesitant to go, murmuring something like short prayers. The female Lecturer accompanied by one her Colleagues sauntered to the location.”As we got there, the young boy took the owner to where he picked the phone. 
Explaining how he picked the phone, Ugochukwu said:”I heard it ring, and there was nobody there, so I picked the call.”

Meanwhile, a very Senior Lady in the Society, who does not want her name announced, pledged to deliver a new phone to the student, for what she described as an edifying exhibition of “resistance to take what is not yours.”

There are clear indications that more gifts, rewards are coming to Ugochukwu.
