My Nigeria return dilemma – How it got solved in minutes

After a few years abroad, I returned to Nigeria and faced a dilemma. Let me tell you all about it.

A few days ago, I was dragging my luggage through Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Everything felt bright and beautiful. Not necessarily in aesthetics, but in the vibrant colours, sounds, and energy all around. After three intensive years in the UK, I was finally back home. Ready for the hustle and bustle of Lagos life, and yes, the comfort of my parents’ home.

The plan was simple. Settle down and get my life on track. I’d sorted the job, and I had my person. But then came my dilemma. Money!. This doesn’t mean I was short of it or had too much of it. The real issue is where to actually keep and manage it in this country with daily dramatic happenings. With just two weeks left before I resumed at my new workplace, I had no time for long queues, endless paperwork, or the classic “Nigeria bank stress.” So, I needed an account, and I needed it fast.

So I turned to my best friend, Google, and typed, “Instant account opening in Nigeria.”

In less than a second, I was redirected to the United Bank for Africa instant account opening portal. A few taps later, and I had a fully functional account. Just like that. I could receive my funds, transfer my funds, and start building my financial life here again.

I was genuinely amazed. It felt too easy, almost suspiciously easy. But it was real, I mean, really soft like they were just thinking all about me while developing this new feature.
