The sound of my phone alarm woke me up as early as 5:30 in the morning. As soon as I stretch my hands to switch the alarm off, a phone call came in. The call was from a lady I was suppose to pay 20,000 thousand naira which approximately 200 steem. Last week Thursday I bought some items worth 34,000 thousand naira which is approximately 340 steem I paid for the item via bank app transfer and I was debited but the two persons I made the transfer to didn't get credited.

I thought it was a network problem do I told them they will get their money. It's been almost a week now and they have still not gotten an alert. One of them went to her bank on Monday and she was told the issue was from my bank. This was the reason why she was calling me so early in the morning to inform me she went to her bank. I knew this was now serious so I decided to visit my bank and make a complain.

I got to the bank and the crowd I met there really discouraged me. But because of the amount of money involved, I was patient enough to wait. The queue at the bank was much because Mondays in the east are usually sit at home days. No economic activity happens. At the bank, I waited for several hours. Infact at a point, they shared numbers to us and people were called by the numbers picked to be attended to.

After waiting for 4 hours it got to my turn and I was moved into an office to wait for a while because they were some person's before me. One of the women who is one of the costumer service personel asked me what issue I have. After narrating my experience with my bank failed transaction, she took me too an office were such issues are settled.

It was my turn, and I was attended to. The customer service said their system network was not connecting to report my case. She gave me a phone number to call, there and then I called the number and I reported the issue. On the phone I was told that it will take a total of two days for either the money to reverse back to me or for the money to get back to the person I set it to. I was a bit relieved so I left the bank.

On my way home, when I got to the junction, I realized I was hungry and have not eaten I saw a woman who sells roasted yam and Jollof beans by the road side. It looked so well prepared and the aroma of the beans made it irresistible for me. I stopped by to buy from her. I bought yam and beans worth 500 naira which is 5 steemand the take away plate for 100 naira which is 10 steem. In total o spent 110 steem for food.

I saw a bike man willing to take me home at a reduced cost. Lately fuel increase in price has affected cost of everything especially transportation. I paid him 500 naira which is 50 steem before the cost of transport to that same destination was just 100 naira which is 10 steem
