Yes, 13.
@HSBC_UK (4x), @monzo, Metro, Starling, Lloyds, Santander, Barclays… all said no.
No red flags. No reasons. Just… no.
This is not just about a bank. This is about bias
I wrote about this in detail on Medium - not as a rant, but as a call to rethink the systems we call inclusive.

@PithyTruth@DonaldJTrumpJr@realDonaldTrump Do saints need pardon? Is it not criminals that everybody is giving pardon to? Well Biden pardoned family members and Fauci who he said have not done anything! Why pardon people who are not criminals unless they committed a crime that you are hiding?

@aba_power What Band is Aba Power on? ₦109.64/KW is definitely not Band A and is higher than ₦66/KW paid by other bands. Why do you pay some days and get 44.6KW for ₦5000 and some other days 53KW for the same amount?

Are all these children at @HQNigerianArmy checkpoints between Aba & Port Harcourt asking us "what is in your boot", "Open your boot", trainee military officers? Cos I'm not understanding again o. In full view of soldiers!
She was the voice behind one of BIGGEST songs ever but many didn’t know until she came for “Britain’s Got Talent”
