Dexia Now Becomes Belfius Bank But Customers Want Quality Service Not A New Name


Dexia now stands as the Belfius Bank



Dexia now stands as the Belfius Bank.


Dexia Bank now becomes Belfius Bank and Insurance. For a number of years, despite the common mistakes Dexia made like any other bank,  the bank continued to be one of the successful and famous banks in Belgium, until the global financial crisis. 

The question is, ‘Would this new name bring a change to the bank industry, when customers are looking for efficiency and satisfaction in bank service?’ Frankly speaking, customers want to enjoy quality, efficient service. 

Quality service brings customers, and poor customer service drives customers away. It's therefore wise to say “welcome Belfius Bank, but customers need quality service but not a new name”.  

Some years back, when a foreigner with a working permit and resident permit went to open an account at Dexia in Antwerp, bank officials denied them access to open an account, by requesting for Belgian passport. 

Yet at the same Dexia bank at Borsbeek, the foreigner will successfully open an account without a nationality passport request. How could a bank be successful when part of its officials are discriminatory and racist? Thank God, today all is over.

After the severe global financial crisis, it was on the lips of everyone that the bank had gone bankrupt. How the bank managed to survive its severe crisis in its banking history is what we see now as Belfius.  

Despite the difficult market environment, the commercial teams of Dexia demonstrated their fighting spirit and strength by steering the bank from the stormy market to a stable one.

Last year, Belgium Dexia Bank was sold to the Belgian government at 4 billion euros, through SFPI, its investment company, while at the same time, Dexia was confronted with the liquidation of one of its old customers, namely Holding Communal. 

Today, Dexia stands as Belfius. This is one of the banks in Belgium, and I am always happy and satisfied when I am there. Congratulations.

FEMALE CELEBRITIES - WHY MANY DON'T PUT ON UNDERWEAR?

It's an abuse of women's dignity

It's an abuse of women's dignity.



I am not a celebrity; therefore, I don’t know how one feels to be one, but if being one causes madness or triggers mental instability, then I wouldn’t like to be one for even a second or minute, because some celebrities are soiling the essence of the dignity of women by advertising the vagina naked in public.


In the African culture, every naked person seen outside is someone whose mind is completely out of service. He or she is a lunatic. A woman may put on a dress, but once you don’t wear any under to hide your nakedness implies that you is at the edge of mental instability or her mind is completely derailed.

This is not the case in Europe and America. Sane celebrities now act like mad people to attend functions, parties, fashion shows, and entertainments without underwear. Do you think they had forgotten to wear underwear? Not at all. They know what they are doing. 

Some deliberately sit to expose their hairy vagina. They are advertising their vagina free of charge to the public view. While others pose by lifting their dresses for photographers and the people around to see.

The question is, why do these women do such things in public, knowing that the dignity of a woman lies in moral and physical purity? The thirst for fame, publicity, and the challenge of doing something (stupid) they think is extraordinary, for the press to write about, is all that they are looking for. 

Media attention and cheap publicity have blinded them to the extent that they don't know what shame is. I wonder if their mothers did the same; that's the reason they are following in their footsteps. Many speak against prostitutes, but as a matter of fact, some female celebrities are worse than prostitutes. 

They constantly change men the same as the way they change dresses and open their legs anytime to people they fancy. They think life is all about sex, alcohol, and drugs. That’s the reason marriage and relationships with many female celebrities never last, because the men quickly see them as nothing but whores in disguise and common trash. 

They have completely lost their respect and dignity.
It is a fact that we are now living in a very wrong generation. Adults who need to educate the children from such immorality are now exposing their naked parts on television and in public for the children to follow. No wonder teenage pregnancy is booming globally. 

I wouldn't like to post any 'naked vagina' celebrities (without panties) at public functions on my blog, else readers would understand what I'm talking about. It is disgusting and an eyesore.

It takes a million people to build a good reputation, but one stupid fool to destroy everything they had done. These celebrities are constantly dragging the faces of women through the mud and tainting the precious image and dignity of women. 

We are fed up with seeing their naked ‘pussies.’ We don’t want to see any more. They should, therefore, learn to respect themselves to preserve the dignity of women, including my mother.
