I got an alert today and I decided to go to
the bank to withdraw part of the money for
my school fees and other stuffs I needed to
do..As I got to the bank , I had to use the withdrawal slip since the amount was way above my atm withdrawal limit..After standing in the queue for more than 20 mins due to the crowd in the banking hall It finally got to my turn and when I handed my slip over to cashier,he assessed my account and this conversation ensued btw us.

Cashier;Are you the owner of this account??

Me:*laughing* yes, y do u ask?

Cashier: Are u sure??

Me:*getting serious* I don't understand that question

Cashier: you don't look like the person on the picture here

Me;ah ah..oga what do mean by that

Cashier:*turns to the lady close to him* do these 2 people look alike?? And she replied no

Me:*still confused*let me see the picture there* he shows me*

Cashier: I don't think this account belongs to
you cos you look different frm the
person here

*thats how a quarrel started o and the next thing he goes inside to call the manager..by this time,everyone in that hall were already staring at us*

The bank manager also came out and started asking the same questions again;this time I got pissed off and started shouting..he asked me to calm down and I told him that I had things to do and they should pay my money so I can get the hell out of there..he asked me abt the school am attending and also asked that I show him my atm.I did and I also showed him a few of my passports in my wallet since I had no Id card with me. When I finally did,he apologised and said I was looking different cos I was on low cut in the picture and I had an afro now that I should pls go to my bank of registration and change the pix..I asked him if his branch can't do it and he gave some lame excuses..I just collected my money and walked out..The way people were staring got me really embarrassed and the painful part was that I had to pay the bike man double cos he waited fr almost an hour fr sumtin that should have taken 5 mins..


Has anyone experienced this before??
