Where did the transaction sucessful come from then?

And since she said, first bank had no network, how did he exceed his limit on her machine then?

The story is faulty
That's the question. The transaction was successful but there's no trace of that N20,000 in the transaction history. The second customer couldn't make any withdrawal because of network challenges. But both the first and second customer make use of the same of bank, so how come the first transaction was successful. That was prompted her to check the transaction history and there's no trace of the money but there's a statement linked to the first customer in the transaction history "limit exceeded". If the limited has been exceeded, what happened? Was the machine manipulated? Well, like someone pointed out earlier, it could be due to network glitch. On the screen the transaction is successful, but in reality it's no so. If that's the case, who should take the blame? The attendant, customer or the bank?

No wonder when she checked her transaction history what she saw was "limit exceeded". Thank you for the information.

There are few POS attendants that have had this issue.
The transfer will be successful but won't reflect in the POS.
The man innocently purchased the boxers thinking the transfer was successful.
What do people do with money?
Is it not to buy stuffs?

Not all Nigerians will honestly return money that's not supposed to be theirs.
He would have come back to explain to the girl that he wasn't debited.

Guess the POS attendant didn't know that you have to check your wallet first before releasing cash.
It wasn't a dupe case but Network error, some call it network glitch.

Let me tell you what happened?

It has happened to someone I know.
Since that day, he doesn't let a customer go if he hasn't checked the account statement of the POS.

It's network issue

Always confirm that the payment has entered the POS before releasing cash.

She wasn't duped, it was a network error.

I'm only sad that the customer will not come back to return the money, or tell the POS attendant that they weren't debited.
To a large extent, I agree with you. What about the part the customer bought boxers worth N3000 from the woman? I know it sounds somehow asking this question. But for me, i see it as indirectly mocking her knowing fully well you've 'duped' her.

It seems the woman doesn't understand her machine, the story no go well
What's there not to understand. Someone came to make a cash withdrawal, it was successful based on the information on the screen. But there's no trace of that N20,000 in the POS transaction history. That means the transaction was not successful. The only information concerning that particular card is "limit already exceeded". So, how is that possible? According to the woman, she has never had this kind of experience before. The essence of this post is for us to be careful especially for businesses that make use POS for their transactions.

The POS machine belongs to the attendant. I doubt if she has the experience to go to that extent.
Crime › Re: 5 Naked Armed Robbers Caught On CCTV by edogu(m):
In addition to juju, some of them usually apply engine oil or slippery liquid so that they can't be caught. With the slippery liquid applied on their body, it is difficult sometimes to catch them. I remember one incident that happened to one of our neighbours. They were in their various rooms when a criminal sneaked through the parlour door (naked) to steal their television. Unfortunately for the thief, the TV hanger didn't allow him to remove the TV quickly. Just then, the elder son of the man coming out from the room , stumbled on the thief and raised an alarm immediately. He managed to grabbed the thief on his hand but because of the slippery oil he applied on his body he was able to escape.

This incident happened like five or six years ago.

You're right

Probably it happened but couldn't get the explanation clearly from the attendant. Few days ago, there was similar story that made it at the front page of nairaland.

If you are a POS attendant, or your business requires the use of POS for transactions just be very careful. Lots of criminals are moving around looking for whom to defraud.

He wasn't rejected by the majority. Certain Nigerian factors worked against him.
For instance, if not for manipulation of results by Wike, he would have won River state by landslide.

It seems this is the new scam in town now... They almost scammed a POS agent closer to my house yesterday.... As the lady told us... She said they are 3 in number on the bike... The two at the back came down to meet the pos agent while the bike man was sitting on the bike... She said the guy wanted to withdraw 51000k including the 1k charges.. the pos agent press 5he 51k on the terminal while she handed the terminal to the guy to press his pin for 5he transaction to be finalized.... This guy just removed one of the four zeros the lady typed on the pos to make it 5100.... He then press the pin and the transaction was successful and writing on the screen.... Most of the machines like opay and monie point doesnt display the amount after successful transaction.... It will only write successful on the screen.... The lady just went straight to the transaction on his own opay app to check and that's when she found out it was 5100 and not 51000.... Immediately those guys knew what was going on... They couldn't wait to collect 5he card and the said cash.... They ran with the bike man
Hmmm. In other words, if she had failed to check the transaction history, they wouldn't have scammed her.

Crime › She Was Duped Of N20,000 by edogu(op): 2:13pm On Apr 23, 2024
This morning I went to a POS attendant to make a withdrawal and in the process she narrated to me how she was duped of N20,000.

According to her, a young man ( probably early 20s or less) approached her to make a withdrawal of N20,000. After inserting his ATM card into the POS machine, she returned the machine for him to insert his PIN. The transaction was successful with an inscription "withdrawal approved" written on the POS screen. At this point, there was nothing suspicious about the transaction. She counted the money and gave the young man.

How did she find out?

Well, when the young man left, another customer came to make a withdrawal using First Bank ATM, she discovered that there was no network. If that's the case, according to her, how then did the first person succed (the first person equally came with First bank ATM) when there's no network at all.

The above scenario prompted her to check her transaction history. Unfortunately, there was no trace of initial transaction (N20,000). Instead what she saw on the history was a message that the first person has exceeded his limit. Which means the transaction wasn't actually successful but the young man manipulated the machine to look so. At this point, the young man has gone to God knows where. May be to try his luck on another ignorant attendant.

According to woman, she has never had this kind of experience. There's no trace of withdrawal but the transaction was successful from the indication on the POS screen.

The guy even bought boxers worth N3000 from the attendant using the same money.

Here comes my question?
How was he able to maneuver or manipulate the POS machine for the " withdrawal approved" message to come up? Mehn, one really need to be careful especially in this difficult moment.
Education › Video Of A Lecturer Sexually Harassing A Student Released By RSUTV - UNIPORT by edogu(op): 11:00pm On Apr 22, 2024
Uniport reacts to video of lecturer s3xually harassing a students, says video was released by neighbouring Rivers State University TV

The management of University of Port Harcourt has dismissed a viral video of an alleged lecturer of the institution, s3xually harassing a student.

Reacting to claim of the incident occurring at one of the offices in its Microbiology department, the Public Relations Officer of the University of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT), Dr Sam Kpenu stated that it is purely a case of misrepresentation as its faculty of Microbiology, Department of Microbiology is upstairs.

He further revealed that it is the Rivers State University TV that released the video as such incident did not happen at the University of Port-Harcourt.

The statement read;

"If you look at the video, the video was released by the Rivers State University TV - RSUTV Video. If you look at the video you will see the inscription RSUTV. So it has nothing to do with the University of Port-Harcourt.

"It is purely misrepresentation and then our faculty of Microbiology, Department of Microbiology is upstairs but if you look at the video you can see outside with grasses. So our microbiology is upstairs, it is in three three-story building upstairs, so we don't have such a thing in our university.

"That's why we are not in a hurry to respond to the video. It is the Rivers State University TV that released that, so that thing did not happen at the University of Port-Harcourt. The video is fake and was released by the Rivers State University TV. We never recorded such an incident in our university."

Education › Re: Don’t Give Admission To Candidates Less Than 18 Years – FG by edogu(op): 7:08pm On Apr 22, 2024
They should use that period to acquire skills. Some of them who got admission at that level are not emotionally, mentally and psychologically ready for such academic journey.

At the age of 16, some of them don't even know it about life. Nigerian tertiary institutions, being a jungle on its own, make it difficult for them to settle.

Again, it will help to curtail the population of students that get enrolled into the tertiary institutions.

The only sector that may benefit from this policy, if unchecked, is the private university. Just like in private secondary schools, some of them, in attempt to recoup their investments, may look for a way to bypass this policy.
Education › Don’t Give Admission To Candidates Less Than 18 Years – FG by edogu(op): 6:37pm On Apr 22, 2024
The Federal Government has ordered that admission to tertiary institutions should not be given to candidates less than 18 years.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman gave the directive on Monday during a monitoring exercise of the ongoing 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME in Bwari, Federal Capital Territory.

He decried the activities of some parent, who were pressuring their underage students to get admissions into tertiary institutions,

The minister said that the 18-year benchmark is in line with the 6-3-3-4 system of education.

“The minimum age of entry into the University is 18, but we have seen students who are 15, 16 years going in for the entrance examination.

“Parents should be encouraged not to push their wards too much. Mostly, it is the pressure of parents that is causing this. Mostly, it is the pressure of parents that is causing this.

“We are going to look at this development because the candidates are too young to understand what the whole university education is all about.

“This is the period when children migrate from controlled to uncontrolled environments; when they are in charge of their own affairs.

“But, if they are too young, they won’t be able to manage properly. I think that is part of what we are seeing in the Universities today,” he said.

On skill acquisition for those who will not be able to gain admissions into tertiary institutions, Mamman said the ministry is taking skills to pupils from primary school.

“ In overall, it is 20 per cent that can be admitted into the University, Polytechnic and Colleges of Education system.

“So, where will the 80 per cent go to? That is why the issue of skills acquisition is very important.

"Any student who is unable to proceed to tertiary institutions should be able to have a meaningful life after primary and secondary school’s education and the only solution to this is skill acquisition,” he said.

Corroborating the minister’s position on the benchmark of 18 years for admission to tertiary institutions, the JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin said 18 years is in line with the 6-3-3-4 education system.

The Minister of State for Education, Dr Yusuf Sununu who was in the monitoring team applauded the conduct of the 2024 UTME, particularly, the introduction of online examinations as a way of checking malpractices.

He said the Computer Based Test (CBT) had reduced examination malpractices to the barest minimum.

Sununu commended the Board for setting a simple but high standard for the examination.

So those people they show on crime fighters had been convicted? Was Evans convicted before display? This one even confessed to us that he committed murder, the journalist was even emphasising his admitting to the crime perhaps to hear him say otherwise, since like you think, he has not been convicted.

Display his face and say he was "alledged" to have committed a crime, no burden there.
That's what they taught us in school especially if the person happens to be an eye witness, a minor etc. Again, like said earlier, there's a possibility the accused may be exonerated. So, in other to avoid the stigma that follows such report, their faces are usually blurred or covered.

Mind you in the age social media anybody can record and upload without considering the implications.
