From what I see, you lack tolerance. People like want to be in control and when you are not or things don't work your way then your anger comes which spiral.

I wish I could recommend a book to you but I haven't any right now. You can google.
Your case is not easy but if you want to change, you will see change.

Its all Stereotypes and nothing more, I've been classmates with Europeans, Americans and Asians, they aren't anyway better, only that they have a working system and good government. The Asians(China,Korea, Japan) have it when it comes to I.Q and cognitive abilities but those white folks aren't in anyway better, as matter of fact the people with poorest results in my class are from Eastern Europe and caucasians too

stereotypes always have a root cause. Overall, our education isn't up to par, this is what is considered. Oh and the fact that the system is shitty so you don't blame anyone but it's nowhere near racism as Africa hasn't been able to prove itself to the world.

lawnreigh:
Its the same poverty and low self esteem Which Africans have that is a affecting your folks, a Kazakstan citizen that learnt English 5yrs ago is better than a Native African speaker that has been speaking English all of his life? Alot of Eastern European non native speakers like Ukraine, Belarus etc get English teacher job while an African that has been speaking all of their life can't. Do you know in some languages like French there is no native, non Native speaker dichotomy. Moreover, on the issue of accent every region has a unique accent but it doesn't make them non speakers of the language. Is American, British, Irish, Australian accents the same? Why is there no dichotomy or basis for preferences due to accent. I know people like you, you tend to speak truth when It favours you or maybe you haven't left Nigeria and experience racism first hand. I'm speak multiple languages and I have lived and interacted with people from all races. Racism is real and alive, It only comes in different forms boy

Can you compare your education with that of Ukraine or the Kazakhstan you mentioned ? I didn't deny there's racism, of course there will always be. Even the Japs and Chinese don't like themselves much. So WTF?
I gave several instances why Africans are rated low, still the same reason Africa was called a sh!thole!
Of course you know you are better than any Eastern European that started 5 years ago but this is not the case with them, go and figure out why they think like this if you don't already know the answer.
Even when the Chinese produce almost every electronic ware, people still call them fake and no one ever called Germany , British fake. But we all know the truth right ?
That's how it works.

It's a shame that a common tourist visa would require someone to thank the old and new Gods.

Visa is just a means of seeing another country and not a privilege or luxury of any kind. You got a US Visa so what?

He even encouraged people to pray just because they want US Visa. What a mindset!

After the visa, you'd still be whoever you was prior to getting it.
Someone people don't even need these visas you are praying for.
We have the poorest of mindsets in this country.

What a shame. Oh and before you come asking if I travel, I'm leaving a photo I took yesterday behind.
We should stop these rubbish in 2019! Visa shouldn't be something of life and death!

forgiveness:
You are a foreigner. Simple and short.

Haha. You know your Lagos city doesn't sell for people like me who knows Nigeria. If you like think I'm alien, na you Sabi.

forgiveness:
That was the question you asked below and I have answered your question.

If you still think there are small numbers foreigners in Lagos after showing you facts then I can't help you.

Lagos metropolitan area is totally different from Lagos state.

Two different things entirety. Is Kano city the same as Kano state? Is Kaduna city the same as Kaduna state?

Now you shift from Lagos city to Lagos metro ? I asked you who resides in this Lagos city of your or is it just on paper ?
The same wiki is where you have 290k people visiting one location and you are bragging about 40k Chinese workers ? Lol

Emmanuelstm:
please man have you heard about Lagos island before? Someone shown you proof from wiki still you are still arguing, I've being living in Accra for 5 years please mention the best place or area in Accra, let's compare it with Lagos

Wiki? Lagos island is geography. Oh. So you now exclude Ikeja from Lagos and demarcated it to form Lagos city ? Whose address have you seen Lagos city just like you know NYC which is New York City?

I wasn't comparing best places. I'm talking diversity. And if you live in Ghana you can attest to that.

The fact that they want white people to teach their kids doesn't in anyway relate to being a racist! Little thing y'all start calling people racists.
Let's talk! Would you prefer a Chinese to teach your kids Chinese or you'd prefer a Ghanaian?

First of all, English is not your language, as an African!
Your accent isn't a first when considering being an English teacher.

Lastly, coming from Africa, your education is rubbish and no one wants to risk that. That's the fact!
They consider all of these things.
This is the same reason Africans write English test but Canadians and Australians don't!

It's not racism, sorry!

forgiveness:
It seems you are a foreigner.

You are the one quoting meaningless articles that seems you don't understand.

If we mention "Benin City" that's Benin in edo state and everyone knows this. There's no Lagos city that's different from Lagos as a whole. You are the foreigner here.

forgiveness:
Nigeria witnessed more tourists than Kenya and Ghana combined.

How many foreigners living in Nigeria!? Read.

https://punchng.com/least-liveable-ranking-hard-to-believe-foreign-residents-in-nigeria/


50,000 Indians in Nigeria. We know which city will receive the highest proportion. That tells you why there's Indian community in Lagos.


More South Koreans live in Nigeria more than Kenya and Ghana. We know the highest proportion live in Lagos.

40,000 Chinese in Nigeria. More than half live in Lagos.

Lebanese are even citizens here. They are more than 10,000 in Lagos.

Where is Shell, Pfizer Global, procter and gamble, etc Africa regional headquarters?

How can you be confusing Lagos with Ikorodu? It's like confusing Tema with Accra. They two different cities in greater Accra.

It seems you can't differentiate a city from a state or region. They are two different things.

We are talking about Lagos and not Lagos state. We are talking about Accra and not greater Accra. We are talking Nairobi and not Nairobi county. Don't be confused.

Foreigners are even plenty in even Ikorodu. A town of its own and outskirt of Lagos.

Dude Lagos is a city state and there is not place called Lagos city! Did you even read the what's in that picture ? There's Accra and and Greater Accra is a region. Which streets, or hotels are in this your deluded "Lagos City"? Which books do you have Lagos city ?
Now when computing the numbers below, factor in the indigenous population and demographic contents.

forgiveness:
Oga! I have been to Accra more than 50 times, Yaoundé once, Lome and Cotonou more than 100 times. So, don't tell what I know.

You say foreigners are few in Lagos. I laugh. Maybe you like in Ikorodu or outside Lagos city.

How can you be arguing if you don't know the difference between Lagos state and Lagos city?

There's nowhere called Lagos City, stop the miseducation!

Bring the facts! What's the number of tourists that used MMIA this year? How many foreigners are currently residing in Lagos compared to Accra and Nairobi? Why do you think UN, Oracle, Deloitte all have their regional headquarters in Nairobi? Google " Karen Neighborhood" in Nairobi, it's mostly foreigners who live there.
You don't have the numbers so don't bother next time. Since you live on Banana Island, name people that are are permanently living here. How easy it is to find a foreigner in Ikorodu, Badagry? But maybe a little trip to Kasoa after Accra will tell you what diversity is.

forgiveness:
What your definition of diversity?

Do you mean Africans, Europeans, Americans and Asians don't blend and live in Lagos?

I am not talking about Lagos state, I am talking about Lagos city.

Yes. They are very few! And they are usually business people unlike the above mentioned cities. Maybe you need to go to Accra or Nairobi. And what's Lagos city and states again ?

forgiveness:
We do have all these in Lagos. Trust me.

Unfortunately, you are comparing Lagos of 10 year ago with now. Smh

Oga go and sleep. What diversity do you have in Lagos ? How many tourists come to Lagos in a year? I'm not talking business travelers!

FYI, Accra, Nairobi is more diversed. There's nothing diversity about Lagos.
Where do you see foreigners of different color blend and live as locals like they do in Accra and Nairobi?

You should travel more.
I don't know about " beauty at night" but none of those Sub Saharan countries cut it!

Please if you intend to quote me, bring facts and data or experience. Or don't bother.

Hahaha. Blind leading the blind.

Guys sorry, I found someone.

Your contact ?

Like the title says. I will describe what I want when in contact.

You send an email.

Not looking for amateurs please. Someone experienced.

EricBloodAxe:
Dude bleeped up bigtime but pls let's cut him some slack. I think solutions proffered to help him retrieve his funds would go a long way.

If we "cut" him some slack it means we aren't going to talk about his errors and someone might just be the next victim, feel me ?

Grupo:
You are right and wrong at the same time.

Before their latest update, Gtbank mobile app would never allow you to transfer money to someone unless you have added the person as a beneficiary.

But their last app update removed that bottleneck. So, it is likely the guy that lost 1m has not updated his bank app.

Okay. Thanks for this.

Mizwisdom:
This is why it continues, when people chose to be sentimental instead of objective

No intelligent person will judge over 5 million with a couple of others. You aren't smart. Usual beauty without brains I guess. I've passed.

Mizwisdom:
To be honest, people from the East are not too big on honesty. Let's hope the thief will be fished out soon

Wisdom can't be bought. So much for your moniker.

united442:
o.p you are 100% right..
wtf,the guy was way too careless,too too careless!
hw the hell you dnt even border to check for the price baffles me alot..saying he trust the uber driver cux he wouldn't lie..
adding a total stranger to your beneficiary is were he lost his brain..adding someone to your beneficiary isnt done automatically,so was he blind when he added a total stranger...
seriously, I HATE DULL PEOPLE!

I've had encounter with a lot of teeming Nigerians. When it comes to learning, forget it.
Very simple things but we handle them like it's rocket science.

JohnnyNY:
You can send without adding the person as beneficiary, it's not mandatory. Check your GTBANK app again.

Thank you. His response is one of the reasons I opened this thread.
People don't learn!

lagostaxiguy:
You made some sense but from the bolded it shows you lack knowledge of how somethings are done in this part of the world, as long as you're using the GTB app, you are not allowed to transfer to anybody (stranger or family) without first adding the person as a beneficiary so you can't blame the OP on the that.

Sir I have used several banks and what I'm aware of is that you click on send money and you click on "new beneficiary/recipient". Then you add your bank details and you send. You have the option to add as beneficiary to your list after sending and this require you to answer some security questions.

adewumiopeyemi:
Must we. Board uber.

Must we make our lives simpler? More like it

https://www.nairaland.com/4851579/mistakenly-sent-n1m-uber-driver

This post is not to bash the OP but to learn and we have to look at the mistakes that were made and my heart goes how to you with all then stress and aches you are probably having. I hope someone will read this and not fall a victim too.

Tech as we know it is supposed to make life easier for us but this can only happen if we learn how to use these seeming little but powerful apps.
It doesn't take more than 10 minutes to be adept in these things, but somehow we have failed to learn and read, I mean look at people around you!

Some useful tips here:

Everything is supposed to happen within the app unless there is some friction and that is when you call or message.

If you order a ride, you can see if the driver is moving your way or close to you, but people pick up the phone and start calling to ask "where are you" because they don't know or don't even want to see how the app works.

When your ride has started, you can see from your phone where you are heading, and the car moves on the map, but let's hope you are interested since you are more likely to do snapchat.

Let me take on an instance, I see often, too many times, a lot of Uber drivers call you and ask you where you are going before they arrive, please stop it right there!

There is a reason the driver is not allowed to see your destination unless he starts the trip and it is called SECURITY!

So no one will arrange anyone to mess you up on your way, but we have overlooked this many people don't even know it.



Back to "acts of bunmiano", the OP:

I am not holding the brief for the cunning and dishonorable driver, but everything started from the OP's act of carelessness!.

Reading is one of our most significant issues and who don't read, can't learn!

If you order a ride., you see the estimated cost of your trip before you confirm. There is no way a ride of #3400 will shoot up #4300 unless you have some dangerous traffic for more than an hour!

When your ride ends, you will get the total amount and the receipt, asking the driver "how much" shows you are a careless person!

There are two options for payment on the app: Cash and card( which you add and reduces the hassle). However, why would anyone not do this and go the way making a bank transfer? Isn't that hard work on its own?
We make simple things look so damn hard! If you'd added a card to uber, no one would inflate any price for you! Learn people learn!

Then the almighty blunder, adding a beneficiary to your list means you know the person and not just a one time transfer!

You only add someone if you are dealing with them more than once or twice in a short time. Who adds a stranger to their beneficiaries?

Still, we don't know how these things work!
I hope we can all learn and learn how to read. Life is just so simple, but we tend to make it hard.

sholatech:
If truly this your list is correct, most of these firms are doing well and far better than when they were owned by Government. Africa Petroleum has now turned Otedola to one of the richest men in the world. Ashaka cement now being run with huge profit by the multinationamultinational firm La Farge. Southern SunSun Ikoyi is doing beautifully well. Etc etc

Some of these people don't know jack about this country. I bet he's never been to ikoyi or even know that AP is now Forte Oil. So pathetic. A nation that cannot give 12 hours of electricity in 2018 has no business is running even a pure water company. They will fill it with incompetent cronies like NNPC is doing now.

fkj950ax:
This post and article sourced from Guardian is another lazy journalism.
The airplane age is not just determined by the year the aircraft was built.
What if the entire Avionics and Engine were replaced with brand new ones in 2014?
What if the landing gear was replaced 2017?
The most critical functions of a plane in terms of safety are engine, avionics, landing gear, navigational system and the fuselage integrity.
If all of these pass IATA tests, it certifies the plane to be 1st class.

If age is that much of a problem, can you use the contents of this article/post to explain why a Boeing with ONLY 800 hours flight time and BUILT IN 2018 crash and kill all 189 people on board. That makes the plane less than 11 months old! Lion Air Flight 610.

I was actually looking for one person that has sense untill I saw this. A lot stupid people just want to say something for no reason.
The funny thing is Lion Air has a very bad record and one. Lots of issues from the past year and Iearned that pilot pay them to fly because they want to add to their years of experience. Instead of them paying first class pilots.

It's funny how everyone missed " the average age of plane is 25 years ".
Comparing Ethiopian that does long route to arik that flies only West Africa. They are mad.

Officialpdpnig:
I will not call you stupid because your comment shows you are yet a local champion with a negative 100 IQ.

Go to ordinary Ghana and see the number of jobs mobile money has created. Where you run a mobile money center and reap the huge commission rewards from people who patronise you.

Your type should be flogged for thinking like an animal.

If people can run bureau de change services effortlessly without fear is it mobile money that would different?

You obviously have zero entrepreneurial spirit which is why you can never be a problem solver

haha. I am.currently in Ghana and there's no one person that's solely doing the mobile money agent thing that's feeding with it. Most of them add electric bill top up and water bill. You don't know anything go and sleep. And people do this because Ghana is safe. How many people will hold 200k in a wooden cubicle and not fret with it in Lagos ? The ship of mobile money has sailed. Unless for rural people. Now borrow sense!
You that's earning 30k to spread propaganda what have you solved ? Lazy pig

Officialpdpnig:
They even claim job losses garlore under this fg. Meanwhile investors are investing and creation more jobs.

Can you imagine the number of jobs that would be created via mtn mobile money services?

Entrepreneurs would boom big time.

If the economic environment was unfavorable as claimed by my party people, why the further investment from mtn?

They should be counting their losses and shoring up and not further investing.

You are stupid. Mobile banking g has almost no job to create. It would have been nice if it was when people had phone booth. Tell me how they intend to create job? You skull is empty. Withdrawal of money you will be charged just like banks and the risk of running that as agent is very high because of robbers. Your type should be banished.
