For anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation, here is what to do:
1. Go to the bank where the money was wrongly sent and lodge a formal complaint. They will usually advise you to obtain a court order to substantiate your claim.
2. File your case at any High Court of your choice. The defendants (or respondents) will be the wrong beneficiary and the bank.
3. Ask the court to direct the bank (the 2nd respondent) to reverse the funds you mistakenly transferred into the wrong account. You can also include the correct account number to strengthen your case.
4. Once the court grants your request, take the certified court order back to the bank. Their legal team will verify and authenticate it, which may take up to a week.
5. Somebody asked ‘what if the person has spent the money?’. Even if it takes years, the wrong beneficiary has a debit balance already.
Thank you.
Your parents could have shares and unclaimed dividends worth millions of naira that’s existing somewhere that they don’t remember. Just ran a search for a friend dad and found he has shares with over 3 million with Conoil since the 90s. Man doesn’t even remember anymore 😩
In this picture, I was 110kg, working 3 jobs, and my blood pressure was around 170/110mmHg. I was not even up to 30 years of age.
I was in the obstetrics ward.
One delivery here, another emergency there, mothers in pain, monitors beeping.
It was the kind of shift where you forget to eat, but not to think.
Somewhere between checking one patient and rushing to another, a headache started.
The kind that feels like it’s speaking in code.
I grabbed the BP machine, wrapped the cuff around my arm, and waited.
170 over 110.
I stared at the numbers. My friend took one look at my face, took over my shift, and
told me to go home. I took some medications for my blood pressure and then I slept like my life depended on it. Maybe it did.
The next week, I signed up for a gym. I wanted to take back my health.
Two weeks later, in the middle of a workout, the room went dark. I passed out.
That was the moment I understood that you can’t sprint your way out of years of
neglect.
You can’t out-train burnout, and you can’t heal on adrenaline alone.
I rebuilt slowly with rest, better food, regular checks, and boundaries that stayed firm
even when life got busy.
That discipline kept me going. It also shaped how we build Aproko Doctor and AwaDoc:
With care that catches you before you hit the floor.
If you’re chasing a big dream, remember:
Your health is the engine. Protect it, or the
race ends early.
Amoke Oge just became the first woman-led business to hit 500,000 deliveries on Chowdeck — with an average order value of ₦4,600. We’ll let you do the math 😉
To mark the milestone, our CEO Femi Aluko (@femi_aluks) showed up in person to congratulate her 🤍
Nigeria in the 80s was in a weird place. Civilians took over power and subsequently lost it. There was austerity, which led to poverty, in turn leading to crime. A large number of small arms were in circulation, leading to numerous home invasions. Most households had a hidden gun.

Why African remains backward can be traced to two simple things. Lack of consistency and lack of quality. It cascades everywhere from private sector to governance. It hit home very hard this week with two events in my family. My wife’s birthday and my son’s graduation.
I once heard of a couple. Hmmm. Baby had jaundice. Whether they didn’t notice on time. Or they noticed and ignored. Or whether they knew and kept giving pawpaw water, I don’t know. But what I do know is that on the day of the naming ceremony (8th day usually).
Naira became a “commodity” when Nigeria scaled POS agency banking. When that happened, the Naira, among other features, became a “product” or “service” which could be purchased and resold for “gain”. That is not new since we exchange US dollars for Naira and vice versa, but in this case, you are exchanging digital Naira for cash, and vice versa, within the context of the same currency.
Simply, the construct of Naira as a national currency is not well optimized at the distribution and availability phases. Otherwise, people cannot be selling Naira as yam, garri, etc. Whenever that POS agent imposes that fee, Nigeria has diminished the elemental value of Naira since you are using Naira to buy Naira!
People, if you compound that POS agent fee over months, that 1% or whatever becomes a HUGE amount the society is wasting. That is an additional cost on production in that local community where everyone is losing 1% of value to “deposit” or “withdraw” Naira. [I know it does not affect the big men and women of Nigeria, unlike the 0.5% cybersecurity levy (a bad policy I must add)! But people do pay N10 to collect N1,000 in cash from POS agents. Have you forgotten?]
Remember: the people who invented POS did it to enable payment of goods and services, not for intra-currency exchange. But in Nigeria, we made the Naira the goods, and we’re exchanging them with 2 million POS agent “businesses”.
Of course, POS agency banking is vital to Nigeria’s economy since the traditional banking services remain limited. But do not think we are not paying a huge fee for depending on selling and buying Naira to function across local communities!
