xcelpro: Good day Nairaland. Please how do I recover my money from Union Bank? On 19th April 2022, I went to use their ATM at about 8:10 a.m and I was debited N20k without cash dispense because the machine went off while counting the money due to power failure from the bank's generator house. After 24hrs I went to their branch to lay a compliant and they acknowledged the dispense error and started that it will be reversed after 24hrs which did not happen. I called their customer care line 2 days later and one of their agent told me that it will be reversed after 24hrs and that she has sent It for manual reversal. Despite this I didn't get the reversal.
I again went to the bank last week Friday, 23rd April and the customer service apologized that it must be reversed that day which did not still happen. I chatted them up on Twitter, and they claim that it has been reversed, and after proving that nothing has been reversed they stopped responding to my messages on Twitter. I sent them a mail and they didn't respond till yesterday, where they stated that the issue will be resolve within 48 hours. Nothing has happened yet. I tried calling their their customer service now and I noticed that I can no longer reach them with my two lines, probably they blocked my line.
P.s; I am fully aware that they have breached their obligation in respect to banker-customer relationship and that I would be entitled to damages if I sue them for this. But the truth is, instituting a legal action now would be too expensive for me coupled with the litigation process.
Please what do you suggest I do apart from litigation?
copy CBN in your next complaint and also look for the MD or a director in the bank's email and also add that one as well.
InternetWebM082: Good morning everyone, of recent I discovered that my phone ba3 drains overnight wen am asleep without anyone operating the phone. The phone is TECNO SPARK 8C but it wasn't doing like this before, Last night my battery was 90% I woke up this morning and I saw it at 81%. But ever since I bought this phone each time I woke up I usually meet the battery per cent normal how it was before I slept.
So am thinking maybe I have mistakenly touched something in the settings. Please who can help me out I will be grateful if you give steps to stop this, thanks.
check your battery usage and see what is draining your battery.
The above thread remind me of the discussion I had with my friend last week about what happened with my elder brother and his girlfriend back then in 2014 in benin. I told my friend that if I go into a relationship I must find out about my girlfriend past relationship with her ex, I also told her that I'm in support of DNA test for children especially for first child.
The reason is this, when I was staying with my brother at Ogida mobile barrack Benin City. My brother had a girlfriend that normally come and visit us once in a while though my brother is married, he had 4 children but his family is in Delta state.
To cut the long story short, this girl brought her marriage invitation card to my brother, but could you believe that a week before her wedding this girl came to our house and had sex with my brother... I guessed that was farewell sex. I couldn't believe it, ur wedding is next week and you are here sleeping with another man, unbelievable.
That time I'm not as wise as this, God knows I would have lick her secret life to her husband to be and that would have stop him from marrying her.
Since then, I just lost confidence on girls' faithfulness especially those who are connected with their ex.
lol....you have lost faith in women. Just curious, have you lost faith in men? Since it seems your brother is cheating on his wife
flokii: That stuff isn't rape.. the girl was intentional about it and was even ontop of the boy, as if she was the one directing the whole thing sef..
Parents need to monitor and train their kids well.. schools won't do everything for you or come to your house and see what your kids are consuming in their free time.
At the time the event took place, the kids were under the care of their teachers. I thought they were meant to be in separate rooms?
The Age of Consent in Nigeria is 11 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 10 or younger in Nigeria are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law.
Nigeria statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 11.
Nigeria does not have a close-in-age exemption. Close in age exemptions, commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet laws" in the United States, are put in place to prevent the prosecution of individuals who engage in consensual sexual activity when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both partners are below the age of consent. Because there is no close-in-age exemption in Nigeria, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 11 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 10 year old and the second is a 11 or 12 year old.
Has there ever been a case where 2 people under the age of consent are charged for statutory rape? And 11 being our age of consent is absolutely ridiculous are you sure of this?
DoctorOlasDesk: Good. Then was Chris Rock's nasty comments against Will Smith not worthy of same treatment being in the same category? Any information used maliciously is tantamount of ridiculing the victim, hence an offense. So, why is the academy awards banning will smith for ten years and letting Chris Rock, the one who incited everything walk away freely like he's the victim. This world ehn
Maxymilliano: The moment I saw the Kaduna State government's reaction to the viral video, I knew fully well that it will come to this.
How can herders move in that number without cows and what is the difference between herders and bandits ?
I'm confused here
The story says their cattle was stolen and they were going on rescue mission. I am sure they wouldn't head out with their cattle......herders rear cattle, bandits steal and kill. A herder can be a bandit, not all herders are bandits.
Hamzaaaaaaaa: Failed mission by God's grace U can't monopolise Nigeria for yourself d way u did in Lagos A man that turn presidential seat to ambition,no single reasonable manifesto
Whiteangel1234: I will advise Soludo to see how Mazi Nnamdi Kanu can be release maybe through political solution for Peace to reign in Ala Igbo , you honestly do not expect IPOB and His supporters to just go back to life as if nothing happen . the sit at home is painful but the cause of the sit at home must be address before it can naturally stop �
The question is, when you look at the Government posture do they look like they are worried about sit at home in the South East?
The only people affected by the order is the people of the state. Typically what that shows is that there is a need to change tact.
Peace081: But let's be sincere for once, What exactly is happening to marriages these days Is it because we are now in computer world that makes marriage not to last compared to the days of our parents Pls I need clarification on this
People are beginning to realise that they don't have to stay in toxic relationships and endure like older folks. I am certain if you asked a lot of these old folks to be sincere about their marriages, a lot will tell you they are not happy. Most stayed because of the excuse of what will happen to their kids and what will happen to them(most were housewives). Society is now a bit broader women and men make money and lots of work places are opening up. That dependence on men has reduced which means women are less likely to take BS. Men also cherish their freedom.
The government of the day has been treating this problem of Banditry/Kidnapping with kid gloves & it will soon consume the entire North. I can't be convinced that Government doesn't know the identities & locations of these criminals. By their actions/inactions, they are directly or indirect aiding & abbeting these criminals.
The North is a huge place it is very easy for bandits to hide in these places
Nigerialabalaba: "Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in NigeriaCalabar and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them."
For Yorubaland, twins are given special courtesies and endearment so tey dem dey pray for every new bride to born twins. So many Yoruba songs, oriki and proverbs praise ibeji (twins) so tey dey are regarded as dieties to be worhipped for fertility.
Some families get up to 4 generations of twins for Yorubaland and na Yorubaland even get the highest rate of multiple births for the whole world.
dejol88: I wish I can get just a little info about this guy in the UK , I will personally go and report to the employer.
Who can divulge his info abeg?
It's funny the length you people want to go to, without understanding why he said what he said. Was he wrong, yes. Was his comment without precedent, no.
Several people have been known to have chased clout. A musician even faked his own death.
While I strongly believe he should have erred on the side of caution, I also believe if he had known the lady's situation was as she claimed, he would never have tweeted what he did.
Worse now is people are even twisting it to an "igbophobia" Narrative.
Gerrard59: Achievements are subjective. How you view an achievement is different from the next person and that should be regarded and respected.
Well growing up it was part of the "Golden path of achievements" set out for nearly everyone....Go to school, get a job, get married and have kids......
Now like everything in the world, change is constant. People have realized that they don't actually need to follow that path to become "fulfilled" in life, so there is a lot of mix and match ongoing. The two items that have been deemed "unnecessary" is School (largely due to the easy access to information) and marriage (I don't know the reason others have, but for me I have done the math and I have realized it is more advantageous being single than being married. Why leave an advantageous position to a less advantageous one?)
This woman should be in jail right now if Nigeria was a working country.
Forging NYSC certificate is a punishable offence by jail term.
Remember, ignorance is not an excuse in the eye of the law.
I doubt so, because despite presenting a fake certificate, It was not done with the intention to game the system. Who should be in jail are those that forged the certificate.
Just a customer who has used Dstv and TSTV. Everything here is my personal accessment It is not meant to discredit on over another but to give a fairly balanced review of both
BACKGROUND So I have been subscribing DSTV since 2015 and gradually up graded to compact plus with xtra view which cost me a total of 14,900 monthly
I was particularly impressed with DSTV rewind and pause feature on explora and the information icon for programs being aired
However, I was getting worried with the consistent increase in price of the bouquet i was on and the diminished satisfaction derived from their services
Like many of us, we would grumble about tariff hike and still go and queue up to pay for the next month subscription
So one day, I just vex cut chain and stopped my dstv subscription and went to buy TSTV
MY TSTV EXPERIENCE I got my TSTV decode , remote control and dish for 18k since January and started enjoying their services
They have over 100 channels which covers Very recent movies, both local and international showing recent movies, lovely music channels, many lovely educative children channels include Tom and Jerry channel ( for those young at heart), religious channels, soap opera channels , sport channels and several others
Once u put on the decoder, u just wait for a few seconds and it's on unlike dstv that u have to wait for long
I am not very keen on football so I don't watch much of foot ball but I was told free sport channel shows live football.
DSTV has the edge with sports channels showing uefa champions football and likes But so far so good I am enjoying TSTV
Since I subscribed in January , I have not paid shi shi since. I had to call the customer care to ask what's up. Them say no problem, make I just dey enjoy they go
PROS of TSTV Some channels cost one naira or two naira a day while some are free
You can choose the channels you want and pay for that but if u want everything they are offering its not more than 4k
Once u pay 18k, u get the decoder, dish and remote and the channels for a least a month, however ,since I have been enjoying it for 3 months free of charge
If you are travelling, you can pause ur subscription by informing the customer care
Some of the channels are High definition
According to them, you can get their channels in any part of the country. However I do not know if they have accredited dealers in all part of the country.
If you have any inquires you can go to their website
Very pocket friendly.
CONS No pause and rewind option
No Uefa champion match
Few channels have the info option to tell u the name and summary of a program being aired
Like I said bf, this is my personal bias
nice review, but I believe DSTV is still in business because of their sports channels
Kingozymandias: Trump has always been a realist, as a successful business man you can't afford to not be. He was never a politician.
This is what Nigeria needs and only an Igbo man can reason like this. An Igbo man will bluntly do what needs to be done to fix Nigeria, some may say Tinubu might do same well, I know he is an excellent technocrat, the only thing which disqualifies BAT in my book is tribalism, especially those of his online followers who insult everyone Igbo and anyone who disagrees with them they label as Igbo hence nope.
Can you stop these tribal politicking. If what you say is true then the south east should be faring better than all other regions. Encourage people to vote for the best regardless of religion or tribe.
phidipe: Please Fellow Nairalnder Greetings to the elders in the house please I need your advice. How do I treat a wife that opens up everything that goes on in her family to her mum and siblings She holds their advice higher than her husband .please advice
She can't tell you na since you already know. She can only tell people that don't know. Are you doing anything bad that you don't want her family to know?
RealLordZeus: Last time i checked, no one stop any tribe from contesting for the goddamn office so OYC must stop this blackmail and start working for the interest of the igbo nation by mobilizing for their preferred candidate
No matter who become the president, fuel is not going back to #97 .. they are all thieves
Reasonable people won't care where the President comes from as long as he/she is the best for the country.
All these tribal politics.
I for one don't care where the next president comes from.....just present the best. That being said Tinubu does not qualify neither does the myriad of names that have come up recently.
Sltp: Did you just say "West saving their ass"? Could one be this dumb?
I don't know about west saving our behind, but I am dead sure that our problem is not the west. We are our own problem.
Take a stock of all companies headed by foreigners and then handed over to Nigerians and see how most have fared. At least the ones that are still in business
Eriokanmi: I'm telling you. Retardedd brains can't pilot a fighter jet, if it's same I see US and Russia parade. You've got to undergo an intensive training and make it a core course. Fighter jets aren't toys
Well are they getting the requisite training or someone somewhere is either pocketing the money or thinks trainings are a waste of money.
Lastmankc: All these drugs deals is for them not to extradite him to USA.Assuming is one chukwuka Kalu,The Fulani government would have send him to USA since
so is extraditing a Chukwuka Kalu a bad thing if he did wrong? Address the issue not joining other issues.
