We weren’t allowed to tell them’: Worker quits job at bank. Then she reveals how you’re probably using Apple Cash in a way that could get you banned for life

A former bank worker reveals how some common Apple Cash habits can actually get you banned for life.

Dom (@damnndomm) posted a TikTok video with her advice on April 8. While comments on the video are disabled, it amassed 265,000 views before seemingly being deleted. “Things that you’re doing with Apple Cash that’s gonna bite you in the ssa,” she wrote in an on-screen caption.

“I used to work for the bank that processes your Apple Cash transactions, and I just feel like there’s some things now that I don’t work there that you guys should know,” she began. “Because a lot of people didn’t know these things, and we weren’t allowed to tell them either.”

What should you stop doing with Apple Cash?
Using fake names: Dom said that after you’ve received or sent $500, it will verify your identity. If your name isn’t correct, you can’t get verified and may even get restricted.
Adding your partner’s debit card to your Apple Pay when your name isn’t on the account: Dom said that can result in your account being flagged for fraud and restricted.
Setting up accounts with a fake birth date if you’re a minor: Dom said Apple Cash is only for legal adults. Minors can only have an account if their parents set it up for them via the Apple Cash Family feature. “You’re not bypassing. You’re not tricking anybody,” she added.
Using it for business purposes: Dom said Apple Cash is intended to be a person-to-person payment service. It is not intended for business owners to use to conduct sales.
Sending money to people you don’t know: Dom said many users would unknowingly send money to scammers, and the bank would not allow them to dispute the transaction because they willingly sent the money. She added that the only way the bank would accept the dispute was if you purchased something from the business and it agreed to issue you a credit, but never did.

How will Apple know you’re doing these things?

Apple Cash is Apple’s Venmo and PayPal competitor, which is serviced by Green Dot Bank. Late last year, the company announced it would start verifying the identities of anyone who sends out more than $500. Importantly, this applies not only to future transactions but also to funds you’ve already sent.

This change came along with the new Tap to Cash feature, which allows you to transfer funds to another person by holding your iPhone or Apple Watch up to theirs.

According to the terms of service, you must be 18 years or older and a legal resident of the United States to use Apple Cash. It stands to reason that Apple and Green Dot Bank would need to know your real name in order to confirm these details.

Dom said in her video that most people don’t realize Apple has processes to determine whether people are following its rules.

Apple encourages Apple Cash account holders to confirm their identities as soon as possible. That’s because the money you keep in it isn’t eligible for FDIC insurance if you don’t, and that’s what protects your money in the case a bank or financial institution holding it goes bust.


Of course, Apple is able to suspend or terminate your use of the service for pretty much any reason. That list includes security reasons, suspected fraud, and unauthorized use.

Tonto Dikeh says raising boys right starts with love, softness, and showing them how to care—not just telling them. Teach them early so they grow into men who heal, not harm.” — Tonto Dikeh

I’m raising my son to be kind and gentle.
He learns to cook, clean, care, and listen.
These are not just for girls.
A good man should know how to take care of others too.

I teach him to speak calmly, to never raise his hand in anger, and to always respect women.
When I’m not feeling well, he holds my hand, brings me water, and covers me with a blanket.
My little king in the making.
These are the habits I’m planting in him.
That’s how real men are made.

7 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU BROKE FASTER THAN VILLAGE PEOPLE

Forget jazz, forget enemies from the village—some of you are going broke at lightning speed, and it’s not because of witchcraft. Your own lifestyle is the real problem!

If you're always wondering "Who is eating my money?"—relax, Oga. The answer is you.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. CHASING EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE

You think you're James Bond, moving from one fine girl to another, sponsoring their hair, nails, and data? Brother, you are your own Yahoo boy.

One babe says “I need urgent 2K”—you send.

Another one says “My rent is due”—you pay.

Next thing, your account balance is calling for GoFundMe.

Meanwhile, the same girls are in group chats laughing at you: “This guy dey try sha.”

Solution: Stop being an ATM with no PIN code. Focus on one woman or yourself first.

2. LIVING LIKE A BIG BOY WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS SHOUTING HELP

Your salary is 50K, but you're in clubs ordering Hennessy like Davido. You don’t even have a car, but you're buying drinks for strangers—WHO SENT YOU?

Rich men are saving, you are spraying money.

Dangote is investing, you are doing “Odogwu” at the bar.

Elon Musk is buying companies, you are buying bottles for slay queens who don’t know your surname.

When the landlord comes for rent, you’ll start saying “Boss, abeg, things hard.”

Solution: Cut down on fake luxury. Even Jeff Bezos wears simple T-shirts. Be wise.

3. SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY LIKE CBN

Your uncle calls: “We need money for burial.”
Your aunt calls: “No food in the house.”
Your younger brother: “School fees.”

Now your account is empty, but when you need help? Nobody picks your call.

Oga, you are not the Minister of Finance. Even government doesn’t share free money like you do!

Solution: Learn to say NO sometimes! Help when you can, but don’t let family turn you into their personal budget.

4. ALWAYS BUYING THE LATEST PHONE TO IMPRESS WHO?

Last month, you were using iPhone 12.
This month, you saw iPhone 15 Pro Max and sold your kidney to buy it.
Next month, iPhone 16 Ultra Mega Max will drop—what will you sell next? Your destiny?

Meanwhile, the person you’re trying to impress is using Tecno Pop 5 and doesn’t care.

Solution: If your current phone is working, rest. Your future is more important than “Dynamic Island.”

5. FALLING FOR EVERY FAKE INVESTMENT SCHEME

They told you "Invest 50K, get 500K in 2 days."

You ran like Bolt, deposited your money.

Now, they’ve blocked you, and you’re writing epistles on Facebook: “Dear Nigerians, beware of fraudsters!”

Oga, they didn’t scam you, you scammed yourself!

Any investment that sounds like magic money is a Ponzi scheme in disguise.

Solution: If you don’t understand the business, don’t put your money there. Learn to invest wisely!

6. GOING BROKE JUST TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

Your house rent is due, but you're buying designer shoes to take pictures for Instagram. Who told you “likes and comments” can pay rent?

You posted “Soft life only.”

But in real life, you’re trekking and borrowing money for food.

If your phone falls, you’ll cry because you can’t afford to fix it.

Solution: Stop forming fake rich life. Invest first, flex later.

7. BEING TOO LAZY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

You sit at home, scrolling Facebook from morning till night, complaining: “No job, Nigeria is hard.”

Meanwhile, opportunities are passing you by! Are you expecting an angel to drop money from the sky?

People are making money online—you are watching TikTok videos all day.

People are learning skills—you are arguing about football.

People are opening businesses—you are waiting for your rich uncle to die so you can inherit land.

Solution: Get up and hustle! Even the Bible says “A lazy man shall not eat.”

BOTTOM LINE:

If you're always broke, stop blaming village people. Your habits are the real witchcraft!

Live within your means.

Invest before you flex.

Stop impressing people who don’t care.

Make smart financial decisions.

If this post hit you hard, don’t cry. Just change your ways!

S€X AND SUCCESS DON’T MIX – WHY UNDISCIPLINED MEN NEVER BECOME GREAT

Some men dream of success.
Some men work for success.
Some men destroy their success before it even starts.

And guess what? For many men, the biggest distraction is S€X.

A man who chases pleasure over purpose will always be left behind.
A man who controls his desires will always be ahead.

Success requires discipline.
Sexual indulgence destroys discipline.

If you can’t control your lust, you will never control your future.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. POWERFUL MEN AVOID S€XUAL DISTRACTIONS, WEAK MEN CAN’T SAY NO

Every great man in history had one thing in common: They had discipline.

Alexander the Great conquered the world by 30—he didn’t waste time chasing women.
Elon Musk works 100 hours a week—he doesn’t waste time texting girls.

Muhammad Ali refused s€x before fights—he knew discipline was power.
But look at many men today:

Wasting hours daily on p0rn and m@sturbation.
Spending their last money just to impress women.

Crying over a girl instead of building their future.
No great man was ever a slave to lust.

2. S£X DRAINS YOUR ENERGY, FOCUS, AND DRIVE

Every time you release, you are losing more than just a few seconds of pleasure.
You are losing:
Testosterone (your natural energy for success).

Motivation (your hunger to win).
Mental clarity (your ability to stay focused).
That’s why after s£x, many men feel weak and lazy.

Now imagine:
Doing this every day.
Wasting hours texting, chasing, and begging women.
Spending money just to get a few minutes of pleasure.
That’s why broke men chase s£x, and rich men chase success.

3. EVERY MINUTE SPENT CHASING WOMEN IS A MINUTE LOST BUILDING YOUR FUTURE

Look at your daily habits.
How much time do you spend scrolling through women’s pictures?
How much time do you waste flirting and simping in DMs?

How much time do you spend watching p0rn and draining your strength?
Now imagine using that time to:
Learn a high-income skill.
Work on your business or career.

Go to the gym and improve your body.
If you focused on building, you wouldn’t need to chase—women would come to you.

4. HISTORY PROVES THAT S£XUAL WEAKNESS DESTROYS GREAT MEN

Ask yourself: What destroyed the strongest men in history?
Not war. Not enemies. Not poverty.
It was s£xual weakness.
Samson lost his power because of Delilah.

King Solomon was the wisest man, but women led him to destruction.

Tiger Woods lost millions in endorsements due to a s£x scandal.

Bill Clinton’s career was almost ruined by a woman.

A man without discipline is a man waiting for destruction.

5. WOMEN DON’T RESPECT MEN WHO CAN’T CONTROL THEMSELVES

You think a woman respects a man who chases her all day?
You think she values a man who is always available and begging?

No.
A woman respects men who have:
Purpose.
Self-control.
A bigger mission in life.

When you focus on your purpose, women will focus on you.

6. P0RN, M@STURBATION & CASUAL S£X ARE MAKING MEN WEAKER

The modern man is weak, lazy, and broke because he is addicted to cheap pleasure.

P0rn kills your brain.
M@sturbation destroys your energy.
Casual s£x makes you indisciplined.
That’s why so many men are:

Unmotivated.
Struggling financially.
Depressed and directionless.

If you want to be great, you must cut off s£xual distractions.

7. A MAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HIS URGES CAN’T CONTROL HIS DESTINY

You say you want to be rich, powerful, and successful.
But you can’t even:
Go a week without s£x or p0rn.

Focus on work without being distracted by women.
Stop simping and chasing after every woman you see.
If you can’t master your own body, how can you master the world?

8. SUCCESSFUL MEN CONTROL S£X, BROKE MEN ARE CONTROLLED BY S€X

S€x is a tool.
The weak use it for pleasure.
The strong use it for power.

A successful man controls when and how he engages in s€x.
A broke man lets s€x control him.
That’s why the world is run by disciplined men, not by men who chase pleasure.

9. WOMEN COME AND GO, BUT SUCCESS STAYS

A man can have 100 women today, and they can all leave tomorrow.
But if you have money, power, and status, even more women will come.

That’s why powerful men never lack women.
And that’s why weak men are always chasing.

10. DISCIPLINE FIRST, PLEASURE LATER

There is nothing wrong with s£x.

But if you put pleasure before purpose, you will always struggle.
If you master self-control, you will always be ahead.

The choice is yours.

BOTTOM LINE:

If you want to be great, wealthy, and powerful, learn to control your lust.

Because in the end…

Men who control their desires, control their future.
Men who chase pleasure, lose everything.

THESE HABITS WILL KEEP YOU BROKE FOREVER. BEWARE!

Dear MEN,

If you want to be a man who is in control of his life, respected, and financially secure, there are things you must never do when it comes to money.

Your financial state as a man determines more than just your bank account—it affects your confidence, relationships, opportunities, and even your mental health.

Too many men work hard but still end up broke. Why?
Because making money is one thing, but keeping and growing it is another.

If you don’t master your finances, you will always be at the mercy of another man.

Here are the financial mistakes that will keep you weak, stuck, and struggling forever:

1. Spending to Impress Instead of Investing to Progress:

If you’re spending money just to look rich, you’re setting yourself up to stay broke.

Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that most wealthy people live below their means, while many middle-class and poor individuals spend more on luxury goods.

The real flex is ownership. Assets. Investments. Skills that print money. Not designer clothes you can’t afford.

2. Depending on One Source of Income:

If your entire financial life depends on one paycheck or one business, you’re playing a dangerous game.

The average millionaire has 7 sources of income—but most men have just one. If that one dries up, what happens? Panic. Struggle. Dependence.

Start building multiple streams of income. Even if you have a job, learn a skill, start a side hustle, invest.

3. Ignoring Financial Literacy:

Money has rules, and if you don’t learn them, you’ll keep losing.

A survey by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that about 70% of lottery winners go broke within a few years because they never understood how to manage wealth.

No matter how much you make, if you don’t know how to manage money, it will disappear.

Read books on finance, study wealthy men, and apply what you learn. Ignorance is expensive.

4. Taking on Debt for the Wrong Reasons:

There’s good debt and bad debt.

Good debt makes you richer—like borrowing to invest in a business or real estate.

Bad debt makes you poorer—like buying things you can’t afford just to show off.

If you’re always borrowing money for liabilities, you’re digging a financial grave.

5. Relying on “Luck” Instead of Strategy:

Men who wait for a “big break” or a “lucky opportunity” will remain broke while others are strategically creating wealth.

Success is lengineered, not wished for. It’s the result of planning, action, and discipline.

Stop waiting for a miracle. Become the miracle through smart moves.

6. Failing to Invest Early:

A study by the Federal Reserve shows that those who start investing in their 20s are far more likely to retire wealthy than those who wait until their 30s or 40s.

Even if you’re making little now, start saving and investing. The earlier you start, the bigger your financial freedom.

7. Letting Women Control Your Financial Decisions:

A real man leads his own financial life.

Too many men make money decisions to impress or please women—buying gifts they can’t afford, taking on expensive dates when they’re struggling, or funding lifestyles they can’t sustain.

A woman should respect your vision, not drain your wallet. Any woman who truly values you will support your financial growth, not sabotage it.

BOTTOM LINE:

Your financial freedom is in your hands. If you keep making these mistakes, you will always be struggling, dependent, and limited.

But if you take control—get financially educated, build multiple income streams, invest wisely, and spend smartly—you will always be a man in control of his destiny.

Master your money, or be mastered by it. The choice is yours.

Let me tell you a story about Love

Title: The Love That Stayed

***************************
In a small town filled with cobblestone streets and blooming jacaranda trees, there lived an old man named Mr. Bello. Every evening at exactly 6 o’clock, he walked the same quiet path through the town square, dressed in his crisp grey suit and holding a fresh bouquet of lilies—his wife's favorite.

He would sit on the same wooden bench, smile gently at the sky, and place the flowers beside him like he was waiting for someone.

People watched him often—some curious, some moved. But no one ever asked, until a little girl named Zina did.

She was just seven, bold and curious, with two braids and a backpack full of questions. She walked up to him one evening and asked, “Why do you bring flowers here every day, sir?”

Mr. Bello looked down at her, a warm smile lighting up his weathered face. “This was where my wife and I met every Sunday for 42 years. Rain or shine, we sat here, talked about everything and nothing, and just… loved.”

“But she’s not here now?” Zina asked softly.

“She passed away five years ago,” he said, his voice calm, like a soft breeze. “But love like ours—it doesn’t end when someone leaves. It stays in the air you shared, in the habits you kept, in the quiet moments that still feel full.”

Zina was quiet for a while. Then she sat beside him and pulled a crumpled flower from her backpack. “It’s not as pretty as yours, but can I leave one too?”

Mr. Bello chuckled, eyes misty. “That would be perfect.”

From that day on, every Sunday, Zina joined him on the bench. They’d talk about life, dreams, and sometimes about his wife—how she laughed with her whole face, how she loved humming while cooking, and how she always said, ‘Real love is the kind that stays even when you can’t see it.’

And so, the bench became more than just a memory. It became a symbol—a little spot in the world where love still lived, blooming in petals, words, and shared silence.

Moral: Love is not only what we say or feel, but what we continue to give—even when the world has changed. True love echoes in how we remember, honor, and pass it on.

Meanwhile, the same girls are in group chats laughing at you: “This guy dey try sha.”

Solution: Stop being an ATM with no PIN code. Focus on one woman or yourself first.

2. LIVING LIKE A BIG BOY WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS SHOUTING HELP

Your salary is 50K, but you're in clubs ordering Hennessy like Davido. You don’t even have a car, but you're buying drinks for strangers—WHO SENT YOU?

Rich men are saving, you are spraying money.

Dangote is investing, you are doing “Odogwu” at the bar.

Elon Musk is buying companies, you are buying bottles for slay queens who don’t know your surname.

When the landlord comes for rent, you’ll start saying “Boss, abeg, things hard.”

Solution: Cut down on fake luxury. Even Jeff Bezos wears simple T-shirts. Be wise.

3. SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY LIKE CBN

Your uncle calls: “We need money for burial.”
Your aunt calls: “No food in the house.”
Your younger brother: “School fees.”

Now your account is empty, but when you need help? Nobody picks your call.

Oga, you are not the Minister of Finance. Even government doesn’t share free money like you do!

Solution: Learn to say NO sometimes! Help when you can, but don’t let family turn you into their personal budget.

4. ALWAYS BUYING THE LATEST PHONE TO IMPRESS WHO?

Last month, you were using iPhone 12.
This month, you saw iPhone 15 Pro Max and sold your kidney to buy it.
Next month, iPhone 16 Ultra Mega Max will drop—what will you sell next? Your destiny?

Meanwhile, the person you’re trying to impress is using Tecno Pop 5 and doesn’t care.

Solution: If your current phone is working, rest. Your future is more important than “Dynamic Island.”

5. FALLING FOR EVERY FAKE INVESTMENT SCHEME

They told you "Invest 50K, get 500K in 2 days."

You ran like Bolt, deposited your money.

Now, they’ve blocked you, and you’re writing epistles on Facebook: “Dear Nigerians, beware of fraudsters!”

Oga, they didn’t scam you, you scammed yourself!

Any investment that sounds like magic money is a Ponzi scheme in disguise.

Solution: If you don’t understand the business, don’t put your money there. Learn to invest wisely!

6. GOING BROKE JUST TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

Your house rent is due, but you're buying designer shoes to take pictures for Instagram. Who told you “likes and comments” can pay rent?

You posted “Soft life only.”

But in real life, you’re trekking and borrowing money for food.

If your phone falls, you’ll cry because you can’t afford to fix it.

Solution: Stop forming fake rich life. Invest first, flex later.

7. BEING TOO LAZY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

You sit at home, scrolling Facebook from morning till night, complaining: “No job, Nigeria is hard.”

Meanwhile, opportunities are passing you by! Are you expecting an angel to drop money from the sky?

People are making money online—you are watching TikTok videos all day.

People are learning skills—you are arguing about football.

People are opening businesses—you are waiting for your rich uncle to die so you can inherit land.

Solution: Get up and hustle! Even the Bible says “A lazy man shall not eat.”

BOTTOM LINE:

If you're always broke, stop blaming village people. Your habits are the real witchcraft!

Live within your means.

Invest before you flex.

Stop impressing people who don’t care.

Make smart financial decisions.

If this post hit you hard, don’t cry. Just change your ways!
