I sympathize with all my friends in Diamond Bank who are victims of bad policies of this current administration at this Xmas period.
Three people have called me today to inform me that retaining their jobs is 10% assurance.

On Access Bank and Diamond Bank.
Another example that unnecessary denials & shady runs are as bad in the corporate world as they are in the Public Sector.
Diamond kept denying this deal till the very end. Result of unpaid/nonperforming loans largely taken by the Dozie family.

Just imagine you are a Access Bank staff looking for greener pasture, and just last week you applied for a job at Diamond Bank.
..and then BOOM
Diamond Bank is now Access Bank.
My advise: Start looking for another job. pic.twitter.com/VdNLjkbDd5
