₦airaland Forum

Dear Nairalanders, I need your help & guide concerning my money that is stuck. I'm sorry if my write up is full of blunders, but will try my best to state my problem in the most simple way.
I'll like to give a summary because of the busy nairalanders who can't read long epistle..........
∆ Did my BVN at Ago Iwoye GTB branch cause I'm a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University in September
∆ Started having problem withdrawing from ATMs & POS in the bank
∆ Had to use withdrawal slips
∆ Got a new Debit card @ Ago Iwoye cause the customer care thought the card is destroyed
∆ New debit card worked for some weeks but had the same problem as the first one
∆ Told to upgrade my account to savings account because it was Zero Account which I did @ Awolowo branch in Ibadan with the same BVN number I was given at Ago Iwoye
∆ Still, the card won't work
∆ Asked customer care if it's not BVN but was told my account has been linked to the BVN already at Mokola branch in Ibadan (where I opened my account)
∆ Was advised to request for another debit card that will suit my account because it has been upgraded which I did at Mokola branch in Ibadan & got picked the card at Sagam branch Ogun state
∆ Got the new debit card after some weeks which worked, even paid my school fee with it at the school POS stand.
∆ Had to withdraw last week but couldn't, machine displayed the same messages it does with the other debit cards. (Please contact your bank)
∆ I thought of using withdrawal slips like I did then
∆ I was told at the counter to write my BVN on the slip....was then told to go see the customer care agents.
∆ The customer care agent checked the BVN, the same BVN I used to upgrade my account, the same BVN I do write at the back of withdrawal slips whenever I use the slips.....then she dropped the bomb that the BVN is not mine
∆ Was told to return to Ago Iwoye branch to lodge my complain because that's where I was given the BVN.
∆ At Ago Iwoye branch, was told to provide the Ticket Number I was given back then but couldn't because I threw it away after I was given my BVN (which happens to be a big mistake)
∆ since I don't have it, I was told to re-enrol by the BVN agent I met.
∆ Was told to check back yesterday which I did & was told the new enrollment I did was rejected because there is an existing BVN but they can't find it.
Now I'm stuck in Ago Iwoye because all my money is inside, can't transfer, can't withdraw but they allow money to be credited in it.
I'm not the only one, saw some students crying cause their school fees is in their accounts & the deadline for payment is tomorrow.

I need advice on how to go about this, because I'm missing lectures at Ikenne Campus because of this problem I'm going through.

Lalasticlala & any other Mods should please move this to the right section because I don't know which one to place it & if possible to the front page.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari won elections in March partly on a promise to crush the militant Islamist group Boko Haram - and gave his military chiefs until the end of the year to beat the insurgents. Ahead of the deadline, the BBC's Martin Patience joined the army on patrol in the combat zone. With the end-of-year deadline fast approaching, the Nigerian army was keen to show that progress was being made on the ground. We left the city of Maiduguri - the birthplace of the militants - in a convoy, heading towards some of the most dangerous territory on earth. Army jeeps mounted with heavy machine guns were at both the back and front of the convoy. Until a few months ago, travelling along the 25km (15- mile) road from Maiduguri to the town of Konduga would almost certainly invite attack. Now, it seemed relatively secure. But as one soldier told me: "It may look safe but that doesn't actually mean it is safe." We weaved along the paved road avoiding potholes that were in fact craters created by improvised explosive devices (IEDs). I saw ghost village after ghost village where mud-brick houses had been set on fire, their tin roofs pulled off. Many of the buildings were ridden with bullets. This is classic Boko Haram scorched-earth tactics. The insurgents raid villages - mostly at night or just before dawn - and then kill, rape, kidnap and loot before withdrawing. After half an hour of driving, we pulled into the small military base in Konduga. As we arrived, a handful of soldiers were posing for a quick group photograph. One of them was kneeling on the ground with his rifle pointing into the distance. Ali Mohammed, a fisherman near Konduga military base "You can't guarantee safety here, but you get used to it. There's nothing else we can do" I met Brigadier General Mohammed Aliyu, a jovial man. In the 1980s, he was training as a doctor. But, inspired by Gen Buhari - who briefly was a military ruler in Nigeria during the period - he quit medical school and signed up to the military. Thirty years later, his enthusiasm and respect for the now democratically elected leader were still palpable. Like many officers, Gen Aliyu believes President Buhari is intent on rebuilding the army, which was previously brought low by corruption and by what many saw as poor leadership. 'Casualties downplayed' In a report this year , the campaign group Amnesty International accused the military of carrying out atrocities. It said that 7,000 men and boys had died in military custody during the conflict. The army rejected the allegations as "spurious". Since the start of 2015, a large-scale military operation has pushed Boko Haram from a string of towns and villages. Hundreds of mercenaries from South Africa reportedly played a crucial role in the fighting. Gen Aliyu admitted there had been problems in the past. "I think earlier we were not giving them [Boko Haram] the significance we are giving them now," he said. "We thought there were small miscreants trying to do something and then they ended up surprising us. "But now we know who Boko Haram are and we're taking them by their horns." While the top brass are keen to put a positive spin on the progress, some of those in the lower ranks question the momentum. One soldier told me privately that the army was still seriously under-equipped and that officers were downplaying the army's casualties in the field. Boko Haram at a glance: Founded in 2002, initially focused on opposing Western-style education - Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language Launched military operations in 2009 Thousands killed, mostly in north-eastern Nigeria, hundreds abducted, including at least 200 schoolgirls Joined so-called Islamic State, now calls itself IS's "West African province" Seized large area in north-east, where it declared caliphate Regional force has retaken most territory this year Using football to tackle Boko Haram Why Boko Haram remains a threat Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists? Following a short classified military briefing, the army took us to what should have been a bustling market, just a few hundred metres from the base. Apart from a handful of people, it was deserted. Dozens of shops had been burnt and looted. A mosque had been shot up, and on the main road lay the mangled metal carcass of a van that had been laden with explosives in a Boko Haram suicide attack. The attack was foiled by soldiers who managed to shoot dead the bomber before he rammed their checkpoint. There were a few signs of reconstruction: piles of cinder blocks were sitting beside the road. Some of the government buildings were getting new roofs. But the town was a long way from being inhabitable once again. The military then took us on a further 20-minute drive along the road to the village of Kawuri. We saw more devastation and wreckage. And it, too, was deserted. Until this year, the village had been under Boko Haram control. It had been the scene of a massacre in 2014 in which dozens were killed. "God is Great" was scrawled in graffiti on some of the buildings. This is a common Islamic saying but in this part of the world it has been co-opted by Boko Haram as a tagline. Forest stronghold The soldiers then picked up a metal traffic sign lying on the side of the road. It read: "Sambisa Forest." This is one of the areas where the militant group retreated after being pushed out of towns it once controlled. We were just a few kilometres from their stronghold. The forest is where the army are currently carrying out most of their operations to try and clear out the insurgents. But access is difficult and ambushes are frequent. For Boko Haram, it is a fall-back position. Despite being on the defensive, the militants can still launch attacks. Increasingly, the group is using suicide bombers to blow up checkpoints and markets in nearby cities. Until Boko Haram is cleared out of the forest - and from other remote areas - it is very difficult to see how this insurgency will end. Back on the base, Gen Aliyu acknowledged the challenges of the campaign. He has studied the insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq. I asked him how he would define victory. "When Boko Haram are significantly degraded and normal commercial and administrative activities are taking place," he said. How far away are you from that, I asked. "Not too far. Where you are standing now used to be the battlefront," he replied. 'Living in constant fear' But that did not mean where I was standing was necessarily safe. Not far from the base, the army took us to meet a group of fishermen bringing in their latest catch down by the river. One of the fishermen, Ali Mohammed, told me he lived in constant fear of being attacked. "You can't guarantee safety here, but you get used to it. There's nothing else we can do," he said. It is clear that the Nigerian army has made gains but that does not mean the insurgency is over. The nature of this conflict is changing, particularly with the use of suicide bombers. Wars do not subscribe to deadlines and in this part of Nigeria, Boko Haram remains a deadly threat.

.What about the vulnerability of rooting, how can that be addressed?

Launcher:
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has set his
military commanders a three-month deadline to early
November to end the violence, which has left at least
17,000 dead since 2009.
But he has conceded that bomb and suicide attacks in
urban areas could continue.

This part got me, if suicide attacks continues after the 3 month deadline, is that victory?

Hand of Boko Haram suspected as three suicide
bombings across Damaturu in Yobe state kill 18 and
injure dozens more.
At least 18 people have been killed and dozens more
injured in attacks in Nigeria, according to police.
In addition to the deaths, dozens more were injured in
the three separate suicide bombings carried out on
Wednesday across Damaturu, the capital Yobe state in
northeast Nigeria, police told Al Jazeera.
The blasts targeted a mosque, a shop and a Fulani
settlement on the city's outskirts.
The blasts came after Boko Haram fighters this week
claimed to have carried out three suicide attacks on the
outskirts of the capital, Abuja, last Friday that left 18
dead and 41 injured.
Suspicion will probably fall on the armed group, who
have repeatedly attacked Damaturu during their six-
year insurgency.
Last month, a girl thought to be aged 12 killed six and
injured 47 when the explosives she was carrying went
off outside a bus station in Damaturu.
Boko Haram has reverted to attacking "soft" civilian
targets after last year's land grab that saw it seize
towns and villages across Yobe and neighbouring
Borno and Adamawa states.
Nigeria's military has claimed a series of successes
against the insurgents and, on Wednesday, claimed to
have killed scores during clashes with troops south of
Damaturu.
Colonel Sani Usman, Nigerian army spokesperson, said
fighters attempted to attack a battalion of soldiers in
Goniri, about 60km by road southeast of Damaturu, in
the early hours of Wednesday.
"During the encounter our gallant troops successfully
repelled the attacked and inflicted heavy casualty on
the invading terrorists as all of them were killed," he
said in a statement.
"On the last count over 100 terrorists bodies were
seen."
Seven soldiers were killed and nine others injured in
the fighting, which also saw troops recover arms and
ammunition, including primed improvised explosive
devices.
Three-month deadline
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has set his
military commanders a three-month deadline to early
November to end the violence, which has left at least
17,000 dead since 2009.
But he has conceded that bomb and suicide attacks in
urban areas could continue.
More than 1,260 people have been killed since he took
office on May 29, according to an AFP tally.
Boko Haram has, meanwhile, continued to attack
neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
On Tuesday, 11 soldiers were killed and 13 injured in a
Boko Haram attack on Chadian positions across the
border.
At least 17 insurgents were also killed in the pre-dawn
strike, Chad's army said.
Suicide attacks on Sunday in the city of Diffa, in
southeast Niger, killed a gendarme and five civilians.
