Boy! How Chase bank drama saved my pal's life

Although many people were hit negatively by Chase Bank's receivership, I am one of those who stood in the rain and danced. Not because others had been affected, but because Brenda could no longer access her bank account.

 Brenda is a close friend who works her back tirelessly to achieve her dreams. This comes with a huge reward, money! What baffles me and annoys me is her relationship with her boyfriend! Not because I want him, NO! It's all because he milks her account dry in the name of love.

This man is always asking Brenda for money promising to pay her back which he never does. The worst part is that he asks for huge amounts of money and since Brenda has been blinded by love, she is always quick to transfer the money to his account.

I know there are many Brendas out there working hard to please men not worth a shilling. Why buy love? Okay, that's not even love, let me rephrase my question. Why buy stress?

 These men who have perfected the art of asking women for money should be paraded naked before King Mswati and given a full dose of God knows what!

If you are a Brenda out there, my wish is that your bank takes the Silver because the Gold is safely on Chase's laps! Someone else should teach you how to use your money because clearly, you don't need it.

What I have never understood though is why there is a rise of this breed of men who have perfected the art of asking for money from women! These are the same men who beep women on their phones because they do not have airtime.

 Then my fellow women, blinded by stress, call them back and imagine they are in love! My ladies, like I said before, the ratio of men to women in Kenya is nothing to write home about at the moment thus their demand is high and supply is low.

 That should not make us 'fall in love' with every Tom Dick and Harry. Wake up and smell the coffee! Even the Bible says its men who need to work hard and provide for their families! Who are you then to try and provide for the lazy ones instead?

Dearest men, be the men you are supposed to be! I personally learnt my lesson the hard way. I will never reward or loan a man any amount of money! If his car is stuck at the port because he doesn't have the clearance fee, so be it! If you can afford to import a car, why would clearing it be a burden?

As I write this, Brenda is in a heated argument with her boyfriend because she could not access her money at Chase Bank, so she asked for some money from him. His response, "I also bank at Chase Bank".

 Brenda has called me crying, asking me to confront his boyfriend to pay her back her money! As who? Nooooo, I am just going to sit here and pretend my brain was also in a safe at Chase Bank! I am not going to reason, not with people who refuse to reason. Ladies, beware! This breed is multiplying at a high rate! Send your Ben10 money at your own risk! Especially if he doesn't pay it back!
