We were chatting on tinder for a while, so I asked for a hook up. Yaba was the venue and it was a cool evening. I thought to make withdrawals before going but considering I was already late, I had to rush down with the last cash I had. Believe you me, we had talked briefly and I went for our orders only to be declined on my card. This was on both my ATM cards. I stepped out to some banks around and like my yoruba brothers would say 'iro'! no show. I learnt later that my cards were damaged. I was lucky she was kind enough to bail us out with her atm. I couldn't eat nor chat. Fidelity bank? Phew! |

Hahaha. Yes o. Twice(1st one I'd mentioned on ths forum b4) so I'll jus mention d 2nd one dat hapnd recently,infact last month in uyo. I'd travelled to my hometown in uyo and had packed. my stuff to cm bak the next day. My aunt followed me to GTbank and I withdrew 10k,gave her 3k and was left wit 7k and 3k tucked in my purse smwer. Na so we enter itam market(dos in uyo shd knw)and I bought small tings hoping I'll spend max 3k to buy small items to bring bak t lagos. Naso I see one beta smoked fish,I come tk insid my tfare back to lagos(I'd budgeted 7k)tak buy d fish cos it was cheap,lol. In my mind I'll jus go and tak 2k more and add to cover up. I visited anoda "mummy" afta we left d market and I dashed her 1k(dos village pple can lament,lol) And so I was left wit 3k(mind u bus is 5k,oda expenses I'd budgeted 2k) Naim I bounce to d nearest ATM(unity bank along ikot ekpene) opened my purse and dipped hands to bring out my atm,I cldnt find it! And because I heard wonderful stories abt Itam market I was extra careful wit my purse. Naim I begin wonder weda dem charm am comot fr my purse. Then it struck me! I ddnt remove it in d morn wen I went to GTB. Infact I jus weak. This was past 5pm ,banks wld av closed no way I can evn go and reaaply for one or witdraw over d counter. Omo see fone calls,upon calls. My aunty I dashed 3k,na my front she spend 2k in d market,lol! She was sayin we'll see bus to lag for 3k(in my mind I was lik evn non AC bus is 4k,and I hav 3k,not evn enof for dat let alone buy water on d road and eat sef,lol) Was one of my dear friend and sister in lag who did a transfer to my diamond bank(luckily I had dat atm wit me but no kobo in d acct) in lag. When I saw 3k alert I started singing korede bello's song o,hahaha. Na so my money rise up to 6k. And to crown it all up,one of my cousins whom I jus got to meet for d 1st time,dash me 1k dat morning afta boarding my bus(na so my money complete 7k back ,lol) Till today I wonder how I wld hav left atm in d machine(mind u I'd called to hav dem block it quick to avoid stories dat touch,lol) Happy easter NLers! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lol. I offered to buy lunch for a lady that came to my office as an IT consultant. On the way to the restaurant, I asked to stop at the ATM to withdraw cash na so the ATM messed up. All the ATM's in that vicinity did not work. Fortunately she was understanding and we went home without having lunch together. |

It was on Friday. I had no cash in my account and dad said he was gonna pay in some money so I wouldnt starve during the weekend. I was a fresher in ABSU. After lectures, i borrowed #100(#40 bike from hostel to sch gate and #60 to town) from a friend in the hostel so as to transport myself to Okigwe, Imo state where banks are. I got to Ecobank's atm and did all the stuffs and i saw "insufficient fund". Na so i check account balance and found out the money my dad sent hadn't reflected. Oh lawd! Naso i begin cry. Lols! I sent my dad "call me sms" so he'd call my cousin in school to come get me. As I was crying and telling him on the phone, a kindhearted lady overheard the convo and told me she'd pay my tfare back to school. Hols finally came! Naso i go house go open acct with FBN. 1 Like |

My job entails refunding money after the ATM has done its wonders so you can bet ave seen and experienced all the stories and also felt the pain of customers when stranded. So i only feel this fear when am low on cash and i have to withdraw my last funds at night and there is no other option omo you need to see me praying that no dispense error abeg oh. But on a regular day ehat i have come to do is to ensure i never have all my funds in one bank becos there can just be an issue nd you need to switch to another card sharp sharp. Also as a rule i never withdraw more than 20k at a time no matter the ATM infact sometimes i break withdrawals to 15k and whatever extra i need just to avoid embarrassment. Withdrawing 40k at once is near suicidal unless if your account pepper rest well. Once i use another bank ATM and get issuer or switch response i do a balance enquiry first at the next ATM so i know whether ave been debitted or not, that i where i have experienced my own gbege, i got issuer or switch and went to another bank not knowing i had been debitted omo see wahala, had to beg my way out that day. |
