Read her story below







So on my way to my place of work which
is in Apapa this morning, I boarded a
shuttle from my bustop (Akinjoe bustop)
in Ijegun area of Satellite town. On
getting to Mazamaza (which is the
shuttle's last bustop before I walk down
to mile 2 to get a bus to Apapa) I
realized I had no money in my handbag,
my atm card was also not there.
I quickly remembered going to work the
previous day with a different bag, it then
dawned on me that I had forgotten to
switch my money and atm card to this
present bag with me. I was confused,
infact I was in shock and didn't know
what to do. First off I had to tell the
shuttle driver my predicament and to my
amazement, he simply said "no problem".
I got down from the shuttle thinking of
what to do. .I was stranded at
Mazamaza. No money, no atm card and
it was not even close to 7am (meaning I
couldn't get into the banking hall to
withdraw). Then, I decided to walk down
to a diamond bank branch at Mazamaza
(I bank with diamond bank) on getting
there, I met a security man and after
explaining everything to him, he did
absolutely nothing only simply telling me
to hang outside and wait till 8am. Ps: my
work hour starts by 8am also and my
office is at Apapa o. .so that wasn't even
a solution atall. He then suggested I go
home. .imagine me that was cashless o.
After waiting for 20 minutes standing
outside the bank's gate, Finally, I met a
staff on arrival to work in the bank. .After
explaining everything to her, she gave me
#500 naira. .and that was how I was
able to continue my journey to work.
.What a day! !
