"As a foreigner living in Lagos, I’m genuinely surprised at how fast the banking system is. I didn’t realize how behind we are in Europe. While the EU only recently pushed banks into instant SEPA transfers, Nigeria has been doing instant transfers for years — money lands in seconds. And you can even borrow data here."

You can even borrow data here.

Did she leave Europe in the 80s?

We are not just ahead of some countries in the world, we are ahead of some continents.

We just need to work on our PR

If Una govt allow am by now Una money for don finish for naija boys hand

When you're being fooled, try not to fool yourself as well.

Weyrey thread.

Is she aware that she'll start paying tax on her accounts as from 2026..... and the tax will be going to looters
Can that happen in Europe?

I guess she wants to go viral or she has been drinking too much water.

Nobody is going to be paying tax on their account next year.

You people just populate social media with so many inaccurate statements.

Maybe you should ask Oyedele who said so before you start frothing

Legit. Our banks are trrrrrying..

Same as the hospitals, except you come in on an emergency. You go tey before you see doctor or will pay exorbitantly for private practice.

It's not the best in Nigeria but you would get a GP in a shorter time.

We are not just ahead of Europe in banking, but many other sectors too.

The same way they have been shocked at how developed our entertainment industry is, and the quality of our movies.

We are the giant of Africa for a reason.

It's because of our population, for instance, banking and internet in Australia is very slow than Nigeria 🤷🏿.

What do you mean by " because of Population"? Nigeria(235m) is ten times bigger in population than Australia( 27m). No European Country is up to half of Nigeria's Population

Nigeria is leading in many sectors.

This is a pure Nigerian English

No European speaks or writes English like this .
This person is a Nigerian and a content creator or a scammer

This is valid

You don't even know the half of it. Several things are simply unimaginable over there.

You're very ignorant.

That is standard English everyone speaks. Nothing uniquely 'Nigerian' about how the sentences were structured.

Nothing more than your typical Nigerian inferiority complex that never believes black can be better than your almighty ''oyinbo''.

Shawarmagirl:
Somebody should wake her up from her nightmare. On which indice is Nigeria developing more than Europe.

No, you wake up from your mental slavery and ignorance.

What she said is 1000% true.

In YOUR HEAD, even without knowing the true situation in her country, she must be lying, because EVERYTHING in her country must be better than in yours.

You're just disgusting people in the the way you think.....an embarrassment.

There is no good thing or news that will happen from or to Nigeria that you & your people will not convulse about.

She is correct and I agree with her. I am not someone who will just run down Nigeria because you can't see the beauty after all the ugly dances by our politicians in the market square.

There is a video attached to the tweet. It is the video you should watch not the tweet. Hope that helps

There is no need for instant transfer most times. Over 90% of people use their credit cards to pay for things. Most of your bills are connected to credit cards etc.

Nigeria banking system is one of the best on earth..

No be original European talk this thing

Sometimes, it's good to make Nigerians feel good about themselves! No be only more developed than Europe.

Who gave this woman weed ?

If that country was close to half what Europe is, even the president of that country won’t be spending almost all his time in Macron’s bed space in France

Animal.

What a satanic lie.

She is not european , her skin xolor says everything i need to know.
