This is an important piece of advice to ALL AFRICANS with bank accounts in Europe or America.
I have spoken to just too many Africans that have shared their bad, frustrating and disappointing experiences with African banks.
DON’T ever make the mistake of closing your European or American based bank accounts when got move back home.
Banking in Africa is generally still backward, and the restrictions are too many for your mental health.
It is even worse in African countries that have been grey listed.
My advice is ONLY move what you need to use immediately in Africa, and keep the rest of your money
offshore.
In Britain you can move £20,000 to another country on your phone, in Africa you need to explain the movement of US$200 for your grandchild’s present who is in another country.
I am going to do a thread sharing my experiences with African banks and why this advice is important for the ordinary persons who have no name recognition.
Until African banks change, Africans will continue keep their wealth abroad unless they are connected back home.

@begottensun You think it's because of a 'mere name change'? You need to dig deeper . . There is the question of how resources are managed names are not the question you should by spending energy on
A simple name change from Lake McIlwaine to Lake Chivero, turned a beautiful family venue of activity and relaxation, and marvel of engineering to a drunken littered shit hole no one wants to go to.
Lion and Cheeta park transformed to a place of natural beauty and magnificent animal to a place where the Lions look like they are doing hard time and would rather kill themself, skinny and gaunt... LOLOL its like Chikurubi for wildlife that NOONE goes to to eat shitty dry hotdogs and stained toilets.
Tine Error. Kwachu Kwachu. First part of breaking bad behaviour is admitting, analysing and repenting.

@designdocument@SamsungPoland I recently bought galaxy Buds2 Pro on 18 March 2023 from Media Markt al. Tadeusza Rejtana 36, 35-959 Rzeszów. I was not satisfied with their performance and was shocked when the shop refused to accept then when I wanted to return them after less than 5 days. Pliz help
We have a problem with potholes on our roads due to incessant rains in the context of poor drainage systems. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the responsibility of Urban Councils to maintain roads under their respective jurisdictions. They shouldn’t abdicate from it.
@vipkalombo@thegraphmaker@jeligon@PieterDuToit That's a poor excus4 to justify blatant racism. You need to change this attitude, is not for your own sake, but for your future generation who still hav to co exist with Africans
@thegraphmaker@jeligon@PieterDuToit A very important question is ; does this pool have a booking system or anyone can just show up and jump into the pool with anybody ?? The answer to this question should tell us whether this was a racist incident or not #FightRacism#blackteens
NEW: Security camera footage of the attack on Black teens at a pool in South Africa provides a more complete picture of what happened. You can see a white man stopping the boys at the gate & almost all the white swimmers getting out of the pool when one of the teens gets in.
@samkebusiness@LubalakoGolide My question is that in this case, can the DNA only be used to catch the perpetrator? A father can rape a child and those around her also take advantage and sleep with her. Considering that there is a young man who once stayed with the family…
@Umzulu_Onemali@rsa_trucker why support such violation and abuse of fellow Africans. You know that white South Africans own 80% of your land? Why fight over crambs from the table? Confront the racial inequalities that drive poverty in SA and you will do well.
@_Nzwakazie@Elton39439208@rsa_trucker Portia why support such violation and abuse of fellow Africans. You know that white South Africans own 80% of your land? Why fight our crambs from the table? Confront the racial inequalities that drive poverty in SA and you will do well.
No one should be forced to go without food. But right now world leaders are looking away as millions face an unprecedented hunger crisis in East Africa. It’s a huge injustice.

I want to put in on record that I have never tested positive for HIV even though I once dated someone who had HIV whom I loved dearly. I have a clean bill of health, I’m actually lucky because @edmnangagwa was the first man to introduce oral sex to me at such a…
@KaiserTania Thank you for your support, Tania. We urgently need to raise awareness of this situation and call for more action to be taken by the humanitarian community. We really appreciate your help in doing this 💚 bit.ly/3yI4hAd. - Kris

Right now, the world is not seeing what's happening across East Africa, where we estimate one person is dying every 48 seconds from acute hunger. East Africa cannot wait for the world to notice. Learn more at bit.ly/3FOlV6U
Happy Independence Day!
We fought for this freedom you enjoy. We sacrificed a lot and lost our brothers and sisters during the liberation struggle.
Be grateful. 🇿🇼
