It all started on the 25th of April when my boss wrote me my salary cheque. I am using Intercontinental Bank while the cheque was for UBA. That didn't matter as long as it will take three days before i get it and it fall right on a good day.
Shock was what i experienced when i got to intercontinental bank and i was told i can't catch the cheque in the bank i need to go to UBA, withdraw the money then come and pay the money into my account.
That was not a problem but opportunity in disguise immediately, i concluded to use the salary to open a UBA savings account account instead of having to catch and pay in every month. Hmm..... when i got to UBA the jamb questions were too much. To open a savings account you need either of the following
1) A driver's license
2) International passport
3) National Identity card
The last time i checked, banks are not for the elite who can drive cars and travel around the world or those who can read and write. The bank is suppose to be for everybody to keep their money after all it is this money that they use in there transactions, so why the stress.
So because i had none of those things i could not open the account i eventually had to catch the money and spend it within days.
To make matter worse the LASU ID card with me was also denied because my signature was not on it but that of the Registrar was there. Then i beging to wonder what this world is turning to.
