Exactly! Looks like a libellous post else, who can explain the policeman in the picture?

bakila:
Are you sure this guy is not being paraded by the police for that publication?

Hmmm, I don't mean to sound like a UBA voltron but I must confess that they have one of the best customer support I've ever received both online and offline. I believe that you should have asked for a slip to enable you withdraw over the counter if they claim your CB was not valid, at most you would paid a token. Besides, there are various ways to verify you are the account holder and you should have stuck to your right instead of walking out.

The most useless in terms of customer service. I had to close my account with the same bank when i was stranded in Lagos and went to withdraw some money there. Unfortunately, the cheque book issued by the same bank for more than a year was not ranged in their system. I actually walked out with the CSO people asking me how i will get back to my destination. I replied them that I had some back up just in case.

That's exactly my point! This issue was not resolved because she came to rant on NairaLand and they just can't receive a directive from CBN or any powerful body and pay her like that. Firstly, there must have been other complaints before hers and you don't expect them to jump the line for her. Secondly, thorough investigation had to be made because you don't know how many people try to defraud the bank is such manner. So all I'm saying is whether or not she came to cry on nairaland, this issue would have been resolved and she would have definitely gotten her money back.

Agreed no one is above mistake, but when it is found out, it should be resolved. This issue was taken to CBN and they couldn't even make UBA pay. What happens to other Nigerians in similar situations who don't know how the internet works and can't complain online?

Someone had an unresolved issue for a year, comes online to report it and it's resolved in 24 hours. Doesn't this sound strange? #myopinion

Well, what kind of bank of bank would you think they are if they don't thoroughly investigate cases like this and just dole out cash to whoever claims to have been shortchanged?

This is good and positive news. I'm glad we still have establishments like UBA in this country who are willing to admit their error and please their customers. For those of you saying she could have sued, do you really think if UBA pans to be dubious, she can win a case against them? And I can only shake my head at those saying she was threatened, I don't blame you for accepting mediocrity as a way of life. Hopefully, one day you will know your rights.
I pray other banks will emulate this trend set by UBA and work harder to curb scammers and their fraudulent activities.

Uhm, can you people stop with these baseless speculations? St. Kitts or no St. Kitts, don't we have pressing issues in this nation? No one can say for certain if this man invested in that island so why won't we let me matter rest. I perceive his detractors are looking for means to soil his name after the heavy acclaim he got from opening that stadium.

Dear Mr. Philip, you see, putting out part of your account number and your entire phone number on social media without fear is probably why you were defrauded. Such issues are to be treated between the bank, your lawyer and those involved if you do not want to be defrauded further. If you had destroyed that check when the Mrs. Nwakpa told you she couldn't cash it at first, you wouldn't be in this mess. There's no use blaming UBA for your own carelessness.
