ENDING BANKING FRAUD IN NIGERIA

-


   It’s the 23rd of October 2018, Kazeem wakes up with a fuzzy feeling in his head, picking up his mobile phone to check the time, he realises he has very little time to get ready for work. There are loads of messages and E-mails on his cellphone, attempting to quickly sift through the vital ones, he is more than alarmed to notice a string of unexpected deductions mainly from his bank. Kazeem has had it up to the neck with Nigerian banks. A new day, a new issue, from double deductions on Debit cards, to unwarranted deductions owing to unsolicited texts.
  Kazeem sits back, briefly soliloquizzing, asking himself “How long do we have to bear all of this nonsense? How long till all of these big brands do what is right rather than continue extorting money from customers?”
  He uneasily gets up, still grumbling over the most recent deductions and prepares to freshen up for work.
  Kazeem is just one in millions of Nigerian citizens who face this daily plight while trying to eke out an honest living. This gives us a brief insight into why brands die. All kinds of brands the world over have fallen from places of esteem to either becoming also-rans in their niche or worse still, totally folding up. Gaming brands like Sega and Nintendo have all fallen short due to inability to adjust to customers' wants, while social media platforms like Facebook have recorded yearly losses due to breaking customer trust by allegedly releasing personal information of millions to certain organizations.
  This is the sad reality a lot have to live with due to brands deliberate neglect of their customers/consumers.

  Hello peeps, how has the month been? I’ve been playing coward for a while now, let me tell you why. I read a book some weeks back—which I stumbled upon by the way—and I was like it’s something I’d like to make a blog post about but I have been “shifting post” ever since. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulative some rich folks can be, going b

GROWING UP BIG FOOT

Howdy mates!!!! Over the past week, I found myself brainstorming on what to write next for this blog. Honestly, blogging the way I do (writing articles) can be much of a work at times. Some days, I just sit in front of my screen, staring blankly, with no idea on what exactly to write about. Other days, I could have numerous ideas floating in my head, sometimes, I’m lucky enough to get most of them down and fleshed up, other times, I get to just a couple and the rest fly away or just don’t seem as interesting as the initial thought. Today’s post is several years old but it still rings true and possesses the same initial vibe it had. And, guess what? It is not as particularly serious as my last couple of posts have been--just something on a lighter note. I currently stand somewhere between  5ft 9’ and 5ft 10’ and by NBA standards, I’m nothing near tall (probably been seeing too many NBA games of recent). Away from the giants and back to the real world, I’m somewhere above average he
