@CJStarz.

I owe you One hundred thousand Naira. If you are interested, please send me your bank details together with a phone number and name of city and I'll send it to you as soon as I receive these.

Most times, it is not about our mistakes or the things we say or do wrong. It is more about how we react when things are pointed out to us. You have been impressive per above. It takes strength of character to accept correction, especially in public and more especially when a Nigerian. I do not know many Nigerians who will respond the way you did. Most will not take time to digest and then respond. They will simply dig in and react with anger and insults. I applaud you and hope you will continue this way.

For we will each make mistakes. What matters is how we react when notified. Well done. You have made my day.

Wow
I feel so honored with the positive appraisals.

Maximum respects.... Sir.
Kindly check your email

My brother, we are wrong o.
It's REMUNERATION. The RENUMERATION we encounter and use daily is wrong , in that context.
The former means to pay someone for something done while the latter means RECOUNTING.
E shock me as I learnt the difference.

I saw someone mentioning bankers!

Bankers shouldn't be on that list. Bankers are the real movers and shakers of the economy of any country. Any government that trys to mess with bankers ends up messing with itself. They make or break any economy.

The "Tellers" and sorts you meet every time to enter the bank hall, who collects or deposits your money with the bank are not actual bankers. The real bankers are upstairs, nobody messes with them.

During the last incident between VDM and GTB bank, a friend said to me GTB bank have lost respect and would lose customers and run at a loss. I told him that would highly impossible. Just recently as announced, GTB is the most profitable bank in Nigeria and they just listed in LSE.

Banks and Bankers are very respected, instead of them to lose respect, they will buy it with money.

People wey no dey lose money even if the economy is tanking!

However, they are CROOKS!

Gone are the days people used to Respect and admire Teachers. Today, teachers are the Most Mistreated, disrespected and neglected profession especially in Nigeria.
Ladies are unwilling to get married to a man who is a teacher because they are perceived as being poor and always broke. Teachers aren't sufficiently renumerated in today's Nigeria.

Employing politicians’girlfriends,woman friends,coconut heads relatives coupled with fake and procured degrees are the root causes of the watered down esteems,respects and encomiums once associated with the teaching profession.

The legal profession. Since the advent of APC and the dipso in Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬 judiciary is now a complete circus 🤹‍♂️ 🎪 of clowns... The most hilarious is that an average lawyer are no longer well paid, most don't even receive the minimum wage as salaries.

A well reduced profession now dancing to the judgement of the highest bidder.

Secondly, I think Law. Lawyers are now called "Charge and Bail".

when was teaching profession ever respected before, it's always been like that since time immemorial. It's only just got worser

You can try and ask from your parents how it has always been especially in the 80s or 90s
