| Goodluck Jonathan walks into a bank to cash a
cheque. As he approaches the cashier, he says,
'Good morning, Ma'am. Would you please cash this
cheque for me?'
Cashier: 'It would be my pleasure, Sir. Could you
please show me your ID?'
Jonathan: 'Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me
as I didn't think there was any need to. I am
Jonathan, the President.'
Cashier: 'Yes sir, I know who you are. But with all
the regulations and monitoring of the banks
because of impostors and forgers and requirements
of the CBN, I must insist on seeing some ID.'
Jonathan: 'Just ask anyone here at the bank who I
am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I
am.'
Cashier: 'I am sorry, sir, but these are the bank
rules and I must follow them.'
Jonathan: 'I am urging you, please, cash this
cheque.'
Cashier: 'Sir, here is an example of what we can do.
One day, Tonto Dike came into the bank to cash a
cheque without her ID. To prove herself, she
started singing, the guard dog fainted and the
computers went off. So we knew it was her and
cashed the cheque.'
'Another time, Governor Fashola came without his
ID to cash a cheque. We doubted him at first but
when our dispatch rider rode in on a motorbike and
he screamed, 'Arrest that bike rider,' we cashed his
cheque!'
'So sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and
only you, as President?'
Jonathan stands there thinking and thinking, and
finally says, 'Honestly, my mind is totally blank...
There is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't
think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea
what to do. I just don't have a clue.'
Cashier: 'Very good, Sir. It is you, alright! Now we're
convinced! Do you want N500 or N1,000 notes |
