The write-up says something different from the pictures.

The pictures say free money but the write-up says people had access to withdraw more than the withdrawal limit, also they only withdrew moneys in their accounts, nothing more.

i think the heading is misleading...


I think it's about them able to withdraw more than their daily limits than them withdrawing free cash.

If this had happened in Nigeria, some white ass worshippers would have told us how this will never happen in the west, how law abiding and honest the white man is, how they would have all waited patiently at home until the glitch is fixed before going to the bank. But una see am ba, na Oyibo people dey queue for free money laiso. Nobody no like awoof.
Oyibo are not born in a special way.They are Born the same way like us.From my experience and stay with them in abroad over the years,they are worst.

Fortunately the banks will get their money back as long as you used your ATM card . They have your data and it will shock you how well they will come after you …. Unless you plan to be using wooden safe at home thereafter

this just proves that nobody irrespective of their colour, race or location is honest.

everyone is a potential criminal

the only deterrence is the implementation of the law.

if a country refused to implement the law to everyone, then u will have the potential criminal showing up but once the country implement the law, crimes will go down..

just like the then fashola anti-one way law in Lagos

Make nobody tell me say the Oyinbos are not corrupt. You see we are learning when it comes to corruption from these people. Our own is just that our government neglect the basic amenities for us the masses while embezzling the money while there government provide basic amenities for them and steal the rest money.

It happened in Nigeria in the bank I worked. It was a system upgrade so account balances were not updating online, real time. Guys were going from branch to branch withdrawing cash over the counter and on ATMs. It was one of the worst times to be a bank worker.

Yeah in UBA then in the early 2000s. All the accounts, both current and savings were traced and debited thereafter. Majority paid back the money, while the rest abandoned their accounts.

It has happened before in a University ATM during the first launch of ATM in Nigeria. Infact most students overdrawn while some blew the whittle on others. The machine was shut down. Anyways the Branch Manager prints all the accounts, amounts overdrawn and took it to the VC. Every one pay ooo. It's a campus in SW

Obviously you didn't read the part where it was stated that the glitch allowed for more withdrawal than withdrawal limits
Wittyness


Obviously you read just one line and missed the following:

A glitch with Bank of Ireland's online app reportedly allowed customers with no money to transfer funds and withdraw it from an ATM.


It warned customers that any money transferred or withdrawn over normal limits "will be debited from their account".

Would Nigerians have queued for free money? Instead of queuing and waiting for their turn, they would have fought and destroyed the ATM machine.
