Mama Tee Series - Bankers Are Stingy (?)

I had always heard people say bankers are stingy. I had an experience with a stingikoko banker to prove it.

Right from my growing up years, I heard people say this about our dearly beloved bankers.

This alone should have been a reason to stay away from them you would say but I couldn't help it when this sweet and handsome banker came my way.
Oh Lord! bankers were beautiful and handsome in those days, merely looking at them from the distance they would smell of class and sophistication. Most young ladies like me back then could not resist the captivating aura.... I am beginning to sound like a novel from M&B.

I met my Stingikoko boyfriend at a friend's birthday party, let's call him Lee.
Lee worked for one new generation bank which later merged with another one some years back. Back in those days, they paid them well.

He was always checking up on me and giving me advice. I was fresh out of school and searching for a job. Lee would advise me to take up any job in order to have job experience to boost my chances of getting a bigger job. My first teaching job back then, before I moved to Lagos, Lee made me to take it.



Now, his only problem was stinginess.

Lee would buy meat and count it, when I come around he would say:
' Eat anything you like, I still have like 7 meat in the stew' Lols
I only got to use his perfume when he was around, If he was not around, I won't see his perfume, he would hide it very well. Lols. Those times he was around, he would go and bring it and offer to spray it for me, he would now press it small 'pim-pim' on my armpits. Hahahaha

Lee would put on the generator when there was no light ONLY if he needed to charge his phone, he would not allow you to put on the fan those times too no matter how hot the weather was. He would tell you he was rationing the fuel.

This guy never gave me up to 3k at once all through our 7months relationship even when I was jobless. We used to see every weekend or thrice a month. He would give me 1k, 1500, 2k and the highest was 2500. Sometimes he paid the money into my account that I had with his bank.

Lee would be monitoring this account and when little change entered from elsewhere, he would not give me 1naira until the account became empty. I did not know he was monitoring it initially until one day.

My aunt paid in 5k to buy Jamb form for her daughter that was living with my mum. I saw Lee the next day and told him I was broke and he went:
" Haha? Broke? But someone just dashed you 5k yesterday na". Lols
That was how I went and opened another account elsewhere o.
Lee was always owing the women who were selling things on his street and when I passed, some of them would shout 'Aunty, pls tell brother Lee to come and see me o'. Lols

My friends were happy for me, they would say:

'Oh Mama Tee is so lucky, her man is so handsome and nice, he also has a good job to top it' lol

Later, he moved from his mini-flat apartment into a two-bedroom flat and wanted me to come and arrange the house 'the way I like it' (yimu). I did not step into the house till I left him.
Bankers in the house, pls don't be annoyed o.

So, is it true that bankers are stingy? Any personal experience?


Mama Tee.
