@tokunbo_wahab @Broda_Kenny I stay around and the water truly don’t stay long, but if you check the canal at the mechanic village behind Grace Children School, the habit of dumping things in our gutters is an eyesore. Where did we get the habit from?

Some years ago, I was seriously embarrassed in Dubai when all their POS machines refused to honour payment from my Nigerian Bank Card, even though at the time I had the GoldCard, which was issued to me by Access Bank.
I also had my ATM cards, which I had used on previous trips in other countries.
A lady bailed me out at the Thai restaurant in Dubai that day, as I had no other form of payment whatsoever.
I came on X that same day and asked if there is a Nigerian food vendor in Dubai who could supply me with food and get paid in Naira.
That was how someone reached out to me in my DM, and that was how I was able to survive in Dubai for my one-week trip.
When I got back home, I was told that only Providus Bank Dollar and GBP cards were working abroad at the time.
I had no option but to sign up with Providus.
A few months later, I lodged into the Courtyard by Sheraton Hotel in Heathrow and my Providus bank card (Naira card was rejected too)
Again, the embarrassment was phenomenal.
A sister in London became my saving grace. I depended on her to use her bank cards for my hotel booking, train ticket, Uber, food and other essentials.
She would pay and send me the bill at the end of my trip, and I would then transfer the funds to her in Naira or GBP.
I tried hard to get a bank account in the UK, the USA and Europe.
I spoke with a bank in Amsterdam, spoke with a bank manager directly, and I was told that as long as I don't have a residence address in the UK, I cannot get a bank account.
I remember another friend who gave me her Bank card and PIN to use, but I had to politely decline because I didn't want to be indebted in that sense to this particular person.
Because travelling is a prerequisite of my work, it was extremely frustrating not to be able to do so with ease.
I would watch other people use their phones to process payment in foreign countries, but Apple Pay refused to recognise my Nigerian bank cards.
Eventually, I was introduced to some banking apps like WISE, GraBify, Titan, Revolut, Chipper, Timon and many more.
These were foreign solutions introduced to the Nigerian Market because the financial system of the country was not rated as acceptable by global financial institutions.
My sister in Canada could open a PayPal account on my behalf using her Canadian address, but I couldn't transact anything financial on the account because I have a Nigerian passport.
I came to Ghana for the Flight two years ago with @YoungFemo_, and I had to change Naira to Cedis at the airport because my Naira bank card wouldn't work.
I missed out on a foreign trip to Dubai that same year because Nigeria was blacklisted by airlines due to the country's inability to remit funds to them in USD.
For that trip, I went as far as Cotonou to catch a flight to Dubai, but I was singled out of the passenger list as we were about to board because I had a Nigerian passport on me.
My mother was travelling to Nigeria from the USA, and she had to stay at a hotel in Miami. I booked the hotel on my Marriott Bonvoy App, but my Naira card was rejected, and I had to call another sister in the UK to bail me out so that my mother would be able to check into the hotel in Miami
I believe in Nigeria
I refused to leave Nigeria or have any property outside of Nigeria
I refused to raise my children outside of Nigeria
My destiny in Christ was as clear to me as day
I know what was written about me and my life in the volume of the works.
Though it was frustrating and people were blaming the governments of the day at the time on every side, I held on and believed that the glory of Nigeria would be restored
I refused to shop abroad because I believe it is better to add my two cents to the local economy
Since last year, I noticed that my Nigerian bank cards have begun to work again in foreign countries.
I was in Dubai, Aberdeen, Qatar, London, Rome, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Paris, Amsterdam and many other countries, and my Naira card worked seamlessly.
I came into Ghana yesterday, and I have transacted my business with my Nigerian bank cards on their local POS, and it worked!
Someone somewhere has done something to make it work.
Today, I am saying thank you to that "someone".
Whosoever you are, God bless you.
If you are more than one person, I pray for you that your policies and visions will set Nigeria up in such a way that squanderers who could come into power and set the country backwards will be unable to do so.
It felt very good to be able to use my Naira card again, especially when I got to Marriott, and they told me their POS can only accept physical ATM cards.
My heart skipped a beat because I had planned to rely on my Grabify app.

May God continue to bless Nigeria.

[BraveHearT @45dcaliber]

@tokunbo_wahab @GRVlagos Even though I respect and like you, this are EXCUSES! Your job is to find a solution or step aside if the job is overwhelming.

You kept highlighting the problems but can’t proffer solutions.

New PB for Gafari Badmus!🔥

He clocked 45.28s to win the men's 400m Final B at the Meeting Ciudad de Malaga in Spain, improving on his previous Personal Best (PB) of 45.53s set at the CAA Region II Championships in 2025.

Badmus finished comfortably ahead of Portugal's Ericsson Tavares, who was 2nd in 45.86s.
