@gtbank_help @gtbank is of no use when customers need help. Especially one such as myself, whose money was deducted multiple times for a single transaction. Three months later, no resolution despite many bank visits and messages. Ridiculous. #scammed

The wallet is evolving, from pouch to bifold, to perhaps, extinction. @oyinadedoyin5 explains. #WSJWhatsNow https://t.co/diyCbgbAlj

@gtbank @gtbank_help is NOT at all efficient when it comes to customer service. Since 31 March, waiting for a refund of N55,000 debited twice for a single transaction. Even after escalating 4x, no response. This is outright theft.

@gtbank_help I was debited TWICE for an online payment made purchasing an airline ticket on March 31, 23. I’ve been into the bank 4x since then to escalate this, yet I haven’t been credited. This is appalling! Is this a new scam so that I’d be frustrated so you steal my money?

I was debited TWICE for an online payment made purchasing an airline ticket on March 31, 23. Last week was the FOURTH time I’ve been into the bank to escalate this, yet i haven’t been credited. This is appalling! Is this a new GTscam so that you’d frustrate me and steal my money?

8 June 1476 Death of George Neville, Archbishop of York. Younger brother of Warwick the Kingmaker, he survived the fall of the Neville faction but seems never to have been trusted again by Edward IV. He was arrested & imprisoned at Calais, dying a year after his release.

8 June 1376 Death of Edward, the Black Prince. The oldest son of Edward III, he was a celebrated military figure in his day, his health failed severely as a result of years of campaigning. He died the year before his father, aged 45. His son became Richard II in 1377 aged 10.

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”

8 June 1492 Death of Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward IV, mother to Elizabeth of York, grandmother to Henry VIII. Elizabeth survived a great deal. She outlived Richard III by 7 years & never publicly accused him of murdering her sons, the Princes in the Tower. I wonder why.

With just a few hours until I leave 🇳🇬, I’ve been looking back on the last 4.5 years. One of the best parts of the job has been the chance to travel & experience the rich diverse Nigerian culture. It has been such a great journey & I have learnt a lot.
Thank you for Naija!❤️🇬🇧 🇳🇬
