[b]A Somali bank installed the country's first Automated Teller Machine in the capital city of Mogadishu, a move seen by many as a "big step forward" for the country, the BBC reported. "I have been staying in Mogadishu for longer than I originally planned, so I ran out of cash," Omar Hassan told the news agency. "I couldn't believe my luck when I heard about the new cash machine." The report said the machine was installed by Salaam Somali bank and, although the country's main currency is the shilling, the machine will dispense the popular U.S. dollar. ATMs have long been ubiquitous in major cities around the world. Time magazine reported that the first teller machine was pitched by inventor John Shepherd-Barron to Barclays bank and the first machine was installed in 1967. The report points out that, like most inventions, Barron's claim is a matter of dispute. But Barron, who died in 2010 at the age of 84, told The Telegraph that he came up with the idea lying in his bath tub after returning home from a trip to the bank because it was closed. "I told him I had an idea that if you put your standard Barclays check through a slot in the side of the bank, it will deliver standard amounts of money around the clock. He said, 'Come and see me on Monday morning.'" [/b] |

OP, it is Automated Teller Machine or ATM. You don't need to write machine after you might have written ATM. 10 Likes 1 Share |

chelseabmw:Yes. A lesson to Nigeria that the current insurgency needs to be curtailed. Already Nigeria has been placed side by side Somalia as a failed state. |

mployer: Keneking: englishmart: Keneking: See them celebrating and boasting over their ignorance and mediocrity. Nigeria had her 1st ATM in the year 1989, 22 solid years after after the machine was introduced to the world and 19 years after the end of the Nigerian civil war. Somalia had theirs in the year 2014, just 6 years after the end of their conflict, yet you guys have the guts to spew rubbish forgetting say anytime wey u wake 4rm sleep na ur own morning be dat. 1 Like |
