I have only banked with GTB for the past 6 months; Being a fussy person, I've never had a run in with them. Their customer service is ok so far. My sister has had a run in with Zenith Bank, Admiralty, Lekki. It's mainly in their headquarters that you have exceptional customer service, I guess because Jim is there. They need to translate this to all their branches.

Generally, I think good customer service in Nigeria is the exception not the rule. You see this everywhere you go. I put it down to the fact that Nigerians have no regard for people and they are quite materialistic  to boot. It all boils down to what you are wearing and what you are driving, especially with the ladies who work in these organisations. It's a shame.

@liftedone

Please don't take it personal, the question was not meant to be provocative, I was honestly asking, does that make all Nigerians abusive and insultive even if they are not faced with all those hardships you mentioned?

And its hipernetix not hypernix! 

Are you a Nigerian? If so, you live in England, so maybe you have the answer to that question as I can only speak about the scenarios I am confronted with. And my views are not sacrosanct.

@hypernix, I made my point. I think it's clear enough. I am here to learn as much as I am here to share my point of view. I don't have a monopoly of knowledge. Thank you.

JustGood:
Why do some people think that everytime anyone mentions something about America in the negative, they should rise up in arms and insult every Nigerian in Nigeria (believing that every Nigerian in Nigeria is desperately trying to get to America)?

I don't want to engage in a war of words on the internet over this but if all the people you know and see in Nigeria are those on the queue at the US embassy, it shows the kind of person you are as well.

Nigeria is my country and I am a very proud Nigerian. I acknowledge that my country is not what we would like it to be but I will not bash it at every opportunity and make my own brothers and sisters feel bad about where they are from. This topic is about gunshots in an American school but Nigeria bashers have turned it into an opportunity to bash Nigeria and to make people in Nigeria feel inferior to themselves.

If all anyone has to talk about for him/herself is that he/she believes he is better than others by virtue of his geographical location, he can't have much about him.

I think the general malaise of Nigerians irrelevant of their geographical location is that the average Nigerian has no value for people. Go to a bank or any commercial organisation in Nigeria and see the attitude displayed by people, until they find out who you are and then their whole countenance changes and they try to be nice to you. Nigerians are carnal and they think everything is about what they have. Once they feel that you are not a somebody, they don't want to have anything to do with you. What we all need to remember wherever we are and with whom ever we relate with is that "whatever degree of outward prosperity any arrive at, they must own that it is of God's giving not their getting". Matthew Henry.

And while I was typing my reply, the insults had started flying.

I think looking at the society, one does not really have to go too far to find the reason why Nigerians are insulting. Hardly anything is working in the country. For example in Lagos, where I live, people cannot relax after a hard day's job because they spend hours in traffic everyday, even on weekends; the public transport system is a mess; incessant power outages means people have to rely on their noisy generators for light; you have to buy water; there are no jobs; general insecurity in the society; you read about politicians stealing money and you cannot have one proper meal a day. Many people are frustrated and they walk around with very short fuses. This makes them blow off at the touch of a button. The frustration stems from the vagaries they are exposed to on a daily basis. There is general discontent because of these things and one just needs to live in Nigeria to understand. Whether enlightened or not, we are all exposed to almost the same things and we vent our frustrations on one another, as if the other man is the enemy. It's a pretty sad situation, really.

I got this from a newpaper article I read yesterday: If you love the wrong person, loving them the right way would not make any difference.

Be sure that all that effort is being invested in the right place, otherwise, you will simply be wasting your time.

I think at every point in time, a book comes along that helps to strengthen you for the situation you are in. I just recently read Sassy, Single & Satisfied, secrets to loving the life you're living by Michelle McKinney Hammond and I found it very exhilarating.

Page 43: Title - Ticktock. "Help my biological clock is ticking. Doesn't God know I'm running out of time?" Well, I've settled this issue. My clock is broken. It no longer clangs in my ears. We can set a clock on the mantel of our hearts and work ourselves into a fine frenzy if we insist on staring at it. Or we can search for other ways to be fruitful.

Totally set me free.

I think it depends on whose posts make meaning to you and whom you've had a run in with. I think there are a lot of juveniles on this forum, so some of the nastiness can be excused.

I like reading olanijim and siena because they are very mature.
The sort of things that come out of the mouths of christiana, sylvao200, cute angel and some others leaves much to be desired.
Niceuzor can be very irritating cos he's hardly saying anything. Just sits at the sidelines and asks annoying questions, while divulging nothing.

But if you want to see nastiness, go to the politics forum. There, you'll find AK47s, Uzzis, Grenades, Rockets, all forms of ammunition. It's fire for fire, non stop.

@poster, You seem to be new here, so be careful. Don't go running off meeting anybody. Many people will chat you up but you need discretion with the way you relate with them. Stay in the forum and keep everything you do casual and light as much as possible. That's what I do anyway. I have not met anyone but I chat with a couple of them and have exchanged numbers with one or two.

I smell DIOS.

This is too much to stomach. Absolutely unbelievable.

He has been absolutely cruel and heartless. There are many of such out there, but this should not blind you to the fact that there are also a few good men, so don't take it out on any man. Forgive him first and foremost and release your hurts to God. Every bitter angry feeling you have, say it to God. He knows and he only can help you get through this. Let this draw you into a deeper relationship with God.
Re-evaluate the relationship. You did your best and you don't have to feel guilty about what has happened.
There will be difficult days when you don't want to get out of bed or see the daylight and you will drench your pillow with bitter tears of regret, remorse and everything in between, but you have to be strong for your baby. So, get busy with your job or business so you can cater for the two of you.
I don't know what your faith is but I would say pray, if you are a christian. Attend a good church where you will receive the word of God that will nourish your soul and send you on the way to recovery. And yes, you will get better day by day. God loves you in spite of everything. He gives beauty for ashes. You will still have hope that he will come back but I will advice that you put your hope in God, more than anything. If you take the right steps in letting God get you through this, you will have a double portion at the end of the day, that is, something better, something greater, something more glorious.

Saipro:
Beware of living life out of context. This is Nigeria, I mean. While a childless marriage may mean nothing to some of us, we may still buckle under external pressure. I'm not kidding myself that I'd shoulder the world (as the god Atlas) in the event of a childless marriage. I'm only human. Worse yet, I'm Nigerian . . . .  .

Well said, saipro, but is there any hope that this might change? It's always sad to see a once happy relationship breakdown in our society because of the absence of children. Even among christians.

Keziah:
Why not? Afterall many claim to marry for love nowdays and they can adopt if they want. But this apply to both sex. If you like born one or Ten that will still not prolong your longevity . Personal opinion though.

I think you particularly directed the question at men or at least your opinion pointed in that direction. You need to rephrase the question, perhaps? Anywayz, I'm a Nigerian, I live in Nigeria and I speak from the context of the society I live in. I see the many "katakatas" that child issues cause in this society. Even the sex of a child is a very big issue and causes untold problems in marriages. Like I said, covertly or overtly, men are made to conform to the societal expectations for procreation. I know of more women who would stick with a man if he's the one that has infertility problems. I stand to be corrected.

Keziah:
Imagine if the vow taken at the Alter before you are pronounced Husband and Wife was said this way "For Better for Worse, ,   TO BEAR OR NOT TO BEAR CHILDREN, Till Death Do Us Part

Kezi, I don't see many men answering this thread because this is a very thorny issue. Even if the man decides to make that vow, the society we live in will not allow him to live it down. Overtly and covertly, the man will be pressured to break the vow by either looking for someone else to sire his kids or break the marriage vows completely.

Even in my mother's day, men married women who had had kids. Why not in this day and age? There is absolutely nothing wrong with marrying a single mother.

It could be that he still carried a torch for his ex all the time he was married to your wife's friend. It sort of leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

TL, do help me check for it and if you find it there, let me know. I've checked many bookshops in Lagos and even left my details in some in case they get it. And my friend in Abuja has checked many bookshops there. We've both been looking for this book since we read it earlier in the year.

@airblaze, thanks for the encouragement. Very much appreciated.

I only take them on prior notice and they have to come early, before 1am cos I'm a late sleeper. There's this guy that has been bugging me to call me at midnight. He just can't get it through his head that he's not the kind of guy I want to be talking to at midnight. I simply put my phone on the charger and it doesn't ring out then.
