On a sunny afternoon sometime in 2009, I used an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the
defunct Oceanic bank at ENL Consortium, Apapa Wharf. After using the ATM, it
was past banking hour, I asked the security man at the entrance if I could go
into the bank to have a cup of water, he agreed. So I went in, I met just one
man in the banking hall, a member of staff, seated by a table who I told I wanted
some drinking water, he told me to open the lower part of the water dispenser
machine to collect a disposable cup to fetch water from the dispenser. I
checked but there was no disposable cup. In his benevolence, he offered me his
mug to fetch water with. I took the mug and positioned it under one of the two
taps, and then the confusion started; I didn’t know which of the taps to fetch
from.
