I think there will be signature replacement, something like secret question. There already know how Nigerians behave and they suppose to have taken all necessary measures before proceeding.

Oh God, they need to have another branch in Ibadan first!

That bodija branch is an eye sore. With people on long queues.

There's no way I am opening an acct if their banking halls wont be convenient to be in.

Improve your customer service first!and recruit more staffs to replace all the bastards customer service staffs in ibadan branches who are expert at snappng and screaming at customers
