@FabusoIaG Big Congrats to you.

I had a similar experience. I was to check in to a hotel, and the hotel had it reception on the 8th floor because of its location,Times Square. While 'others' were allowed entrance to the elevator to check in. I was asked to identify myself first before gaining access to the bdg.

Experienced something in London days ago that further emphasised to me why I’d never live abroad; outside of short visits, and other long visit commitments.

This white lady and who appeared to be her young daughter were in the lift. She was going to press their floor but decided not to when I entered. I could see her hand dilly-dally over the keys.

I understood the situation. I simply pressed my floor anyway. Turned out we were going to the same floor because she didn’t press any key again. When we arrived, I normally would let others step out first, but this time I knew I had to go out first otherwise things could get even creepier.

Now, it could just be that they’d have expressed the same fear if I was a white male. I don’t know that. It’s also possible that the fear they expressed had nothing to do with me. But I am never going to be in such situations and not think it’s because I am a Black man.

This same summer, I had another weird experience in DC of all places. I am always thinking, may be it’s just me overthinking things. I put that down to all the shootings and killings in America. But I am also always aware these things happen when I am outside Africa.

I am fine with these things happening when I am traveling. I certainly don’t want to live a life where I am constantly negotiating my right to be in ordinary spaces. I don’t take any of it personal. People aren’t inherently wicked or trying to other you. We’ve been fed so much unwholesome stuff, we see things that aren’t sometimes there. That includes me.

I just can’t imagine that my normal life - read everyday life - would be to stay conscious of being othered by others. That’s why I find comfort in living in Africa. Because that part of my consciousness never gets triggered. As much as these things don’t matter, they matter.

@itzbasito @hashtagtweets 2. This would affect those who book long distance trip for others if the management of this hailing service decides to go this route. ( Family, friends, or those stranded in need of help might be affected)

[Damilare Michael @damilaremichael]

@itzbasito @hashtagtweets This might not be effective.
1. Since this is happening, Uber & Bolt would likely create a location based booking if this continues to ensure the sanity of their platform

@UNIONBANK_NG @UNIONBANK_NG I reached out via dm and I was asked to make a call to a number. I have made several calls to the number advised and I have been on call for about hour without a response. Can I be attended to via dm or chats. Thanks

[Damilare Michael @damilaremichael]

@UNIONBANK_NG Hi, I left a DM for about 2 days now and no response. Please can you attend to it.

@gtbank_help An unauthorised debit was done midnight yesterday 00:00:07 precisely. Sent a DM and mail yesterday about this issue. No response. I would appreciate an urgent resolution.

[Damilare Michael @damilaremichael]

@gtbank_help @daniel_illoh This is sincerely disappointing. I sent a DM yesterday about an unauthorised debit in my account. I haven't gotten a reply, sent a mail, no reply and I am surprised that you asking people to send you a DM.
