DECLINED

“Good afternoon, ma”, I greeted the Point Of Sale personnel.

“Good afternoon, Williams. How was your night?”, she inquired.

“We thank God. Please, I want to withdraw”

“How much?”

“Just a thousand Naira”

“One thousand?”

“Yes, ma”.

As she was about to go into her shop to get her POS machine when a strange lady came and said “Mama Iseyin, mo fe gba twenty thousand”.

“Four hundred ni charges oh”, Mama Iseyin explained.

“Nibo? Three hundred ni won ma sé fun mi na”, the lady protested.

“Mummy, ko le work. Williams, bring your card”, Mama Iseyin said.

I gave her my card and the strange lady had no option but to wait as Mama Iseyin was the only POS owner around as at that time.

“Should I add the charges?”, Mama Iseyin inquired.

“Yes, ma”, I answered.

She slotted my card into the POS machine, gave me the machine to input my PIN and when I was done, I gave her back her machine.

“Declined due to insufficient funds”, Mama Iseyin said to me.
