Man blames Access Bank app for daughter’s death… how to avoid such experience

In a tragic and heart-wrenching turn of events, a Nigerian father finds himself mourning the loss of his precious 9-year-old daughter, allegedly due to the malfunctioning of the Access Bank mobile app. 

This devastating incident, brought to light by an individual identified as PIDOMNIGERIA, serves as a stark reminder of the dire consequences that technological failures can have in critical moments.

The grief-stricken father, whose identity remains undisclosed, recounts the distressing sequence of events that led to his daughter’s untimely demise. Faced with the urgent need to transfer funds for his child’s medical treatment, he turned to the Access Bank mobile app, only to be met with frustration and helplessness as it failed to function. 

Despite his frantic attempts, the app’s malfunctioning prevented him from accessing the necessary funds to provide his daughter with the medical attention she desperately needed.

Tragically, the young girl was admitted to an emergency unit at a local hospital, where she awaited treatment that never came. Left unattended due to the financial constraints imposed by the malfunctioning app, she succumbed to her illness, leaving behind a shattered family and a community in mourning.

The father, described as a single parent working offshore, shares his anguish and despair, expressing profound sorrow over the loss of his daughter. In his grief-stricken state, he condemns the Access Bank for its recurring issues with the mobile app, labeling it as a “complete shit bank” and demanding accountability for the frequent disruptions that have plagued its services.

As the family grapples with the devastating aftermath of this preventable tragedy, questions arise about the responsibility of financial institutions in ensuring the seamless functioning of essential services, particularly during emergencies. Despite the outcry and demand for answers, Access Bank remains silent, failing to address the allegations or provide clarification regarding the reported app malfunction.

Ways to avoid trauma caused by mobile application failures:

Research and Choose Reliable Apps: Before downloading any app, research its developer, read reviews, and check ratings to ensure it’s reliable. Opt for apps with a track record of stability and security.

Keep Apps Updated: Regularly update your apps to the latest versions provided by the developers. Updates often include bug fixes, security patches, and performance improvements that can prevent failures.

Understand App Permissions: Pay attention to the permissions requested by apps during installation. Grant only necessary permissions to protect your privacy and security.

Test in Non-Critical Situations: Before relying on an app for critical tasks, test it in non-critical situations to ensure it functions properly and meets your needs.

Backup Data: Regularly backup any important data stored within apps to prevent loss in case of app failure or data corruption.

Monitor App Performance: Keep an eye on the performance of your apps. If you notice any unusual behavior, such as crashes or freezing, investigate and address the issue promptly.

Report Issues to Developers: If you encounter any problems or bugs with an app, report them to the developer through the appropriate channels. Your feedback can help improve the app for yourself and others.

Have Alternative Solutions: Always have alternative solutions or backup plans in place for critical tasks in case an app fails or becomes unavailable.

Stay Informed: Stay informed about any known issues or vulnerabilities related to the apps you use. Follow the developer’s communication channels for updates and advisories.

Practice Self-Care: If you do experience trauma or stress due to an app failure, practice self-care techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, or seeking support from friends and family.

By following these guidelines, you can minimize the risk of experiencing trauma caused by mobile application failures and ensure a smoother and more secure digital experience.
