@gtbank_help @gtbank GTBank has built a strong brand, but transparency and accountability are slipping and customers are feeling it. This needs to be said.

@MrCharlesky Interested please

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

@T2mobile_ng You can't keep depleting someone's data. It's a shame!

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

@T2mobile_ng What is the matter? I'm beginning to think you're intentionally depleting my data because how can one explain a situation where you have more than a gigabyte disappear without use? I recharged my phone two days ago and I rarely even use your network because I have another ISP.

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

@teymii_m @T2mobile_ng Likewise. @T2mobile_ng Please fix this urgently. I have a message in your DM.

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

@T2mobile_ng It's been five hours since my last post @T2mobile_ng Please respond. You have unread messages in your DMs

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

@T2mobile_ng I can neither send nor receive text messages on your network. Due to this, I can't receive OTPs sent via your network. This issue has lingered for a long time and it doesn't appear you reply to your DMs. Please respond to my message and other customers and resolve these issues.

In the midst of conspicuous cowardly silence of many pastors while the evil demonic creatures in power oppress Nigerians, we must give credit to who credit is due:

Bishop Oyedepo spoke up.
And he has spoken up for years.

He almost cried in this video.

"Dear parents,
I saw this video post and I think it is worth sharing to a larger audience👇

NEVER ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ⏰ ON THE Phone."

[Dr. God Abeg ooo @josh_uglyasf]

I think all men should see this video and allow it simmer

Victory is mine. Hallelujah! #sundayservicewithkumuyi

I wrote this when I clocked 50
last year, read and learn

50 at Last: 20 Lessons I Wish I Knew in My 20s

1. You’re Not Late—You’re Just Early for Your Time.

Comparison is a killer. Everyone’s clock is different. I gained admission at 30 and still made it count.

2. Poverty Isn’t a Mindset—It’s a System.

But you can learn your way out of it. Slowly, steadily, one skill at a time. Consistency over intensity

3. Read Books, Even If You Don't Like School.

Books gave me mentors I couldn’t afford. Some changed my thinking forever.

I'll recommend Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Hot to Sell to Nigerians by Akin Alabi, etc.

4. Learn a Skill—Any Skill.

Not just degrees. Skills open doors that certificates can’t. If you aren't tech-savvy, consider "hand works" such as plumbing, auto repairs, etc.

5. Nobody’s Coming to Save You.

Not government, not rich uncles. It’s tough, but it means your life is in your hands. Over dependence on people will strip you of your dignity, it will give you unknown enemies

6. Start Small, But Start Smart.

I wasted years chasing "big" moves instead of consistent small wins. Lessons already learned. Don't waste your time looking for a multi-million Naira deals - make do with the little ones around you and gradually build up your wealth

7. Keep Records.

Money, habits, ideas—track them. You can’t grow what you don’t measure. Keeping records shows you your wins and losses, strength and weakness - enough data to make necessary adjustments and grow

8. Don’t Borrow to Impress.

I did. Regret followed. Silence is better than fake wealth. Live within your means and save for the rainy day

9. Find Older Mentors, Even If They’re Not Rich.

Wisdom is hidden in people who’ve failed well. I ignored one so the most important piece of advise immediately after my wedding - it ended in premium tears

10. Learn to Sell—Yourself, Your Work, or an Idea.

Selling isn’t dirty. It’s survival. Whoever you are, learn marketing - the knowledge may make a huge difference between failure and success

11. Your Health Is Your First Investment.

Sleep, water, walks. I ignored these and paid with compromised health. Don’t.

12. Internet Isn’t Just for Fun—It’s for Fortune.

YouTube taught me skills school never did. The web is a goldmine. And absolutely free!

13. Jobs Are Temporary—Skills Stay Forever.

I did odd jobs. They paid bills. My skills built futures.

14. Build Relationships, Not Just Connections.

People helped me when I had nothing—because I was real, not transactional. I appreciate every one of you.

15. Don’t Be Too Proud to Start Over.

Starting college at 30 humbled me. But it built me. I learned from my younger mates, my story is incomplete without their contributions.

16. Document Your Journey.

I wish I had journals or photos from my my hustling days - commercial motorcycling, well digging, block making. Legacy starts with memory and keeps you humble.

17. Learn Basic Tech Early.

It’s the new literacy. I came late—don’t make the same mistake.

18. Save Something—Even ₦500.

Not for emergencies, but for discipline. Consider platforms like PiggyVest, OPay, PalmPay, etc

19. Speak Kindly to Yourself.

I punished myself more than life did. You don’t have to. Enjoy every minute and celebrate your small wina

20. Your Story Matters—Even the Messy Parts.

Because someone else is living it right now. And you can be their light.

If you’ve had a similar experience with unreachable support or one-way communication, you’re not alone. Share respectfully.
#GTBank #CustomerVoices

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

Customers deserve better access and clearer complaint channels.
@cenbank @fccpcnigeria this is worth attention.
#ConsumerProtection #FinancialServices

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

This isn’t about dragging GTBank.
It’s about urging a system that listens, responds, and takes responsibility — the basics of customer respect.
#DoBetterGTBank #CustomerService

[Seyi Bale @dob4real]

Banks handle people’s livelihoods.
There must be clear, responsive, two-way communication, especially when things go wrong. Silence erodes trust faster than mistakes do.

Third issue: comments are turned off on GTBank’s X page.
If customers can’t ask questions or raise concerns publicly, where exactly should they go?
