Opening a bank account in Nigeria is so archaic & stressful (so much paper + the 2 references nonsense) no wonder so many remain unbanked.

It is easy for you to open a bank account abroad cos your passport has been added to a central identity database via visa application
But banks of the country that issued the passport, have your other accounts plus biometrics via BVN go dey talk reference nonsense.

For where! You still need 2. Jumping up and down looking for someone to sign.
