The Christian army that will be established in Biafra after the partition should serve as a protective force for all Christians across Africa, a true mutual defense alliance among Christians, not like the weak solidarity we see in the Christian world today. Israel will support this army.

@TruthfullEra @biafranvanguard @KizyUzoma @Solomon_Egbo @ObiJYkKg6QGWMAD I do not believe that these people are Ipob members. It is lie for me to take!

Nigeria: the two-state solution of a Muslim Nigeria and a Christian Biafra.

[Mike Arnold @MikeArnoldTruth]

This man should not be considered a pastor, as he once claimed. I question whether he should be considered even a man. Here he commits blasphemy to both Christians and Muslims, in an effort to not offend either. This is downright demonic. What a serpent.

Nigeria must undergo an official partition into two states for two peoples, so that a state defined as Christian, Biafra, can be established. This would allow the Christians living there to set up their own borders and army in order to protect themselves from Islamic violence.

@Lee89038645 @trigottista Mang years back, I know of an Igbo colleague who married an Ekiti man. She would brag that Imo girls are more exposed than any other, that is why they marry wide and far.

@trigottista The man power apc led government employs are mostlym/mainnly thugs and people who have zero empathy for high (moral) standards!

@agnes_nwanneka @living_deity A lot of videos that proved he ordered killing of Igbo youth just to enforce sit at home!

@ChukOchibili @agnes_nwanneka @Chukslahero He will be their end yet crying in court because he doesn't have the heart... Just a noise maker!

[Ifenna Chikodinaka @ifenna_enumah]

@agnes_nwanneka He indicted himaelf, accepting responsibility for the numerous killings in Igbo land. MNK and Ipob killed no one: the deception that Ipob was responsible for the killings was a propaganda after MNK was kidnapped and the enemies looking for mass evidence against him.

When we said the West is funding terrorism in Africa, that was the absolute truth. They provide most of the terrorists' weapons and fundings.

How two GTBank colleagues bought a failing bank and turned it into a Nigerian banking giant

Access Bank wasn’t founded from scratch. It was bought.

In 2001, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe were both executive directors at Guaranty Trust Bank, where they’d worked together for over a decade. They shared one dream: own a bank, not just run one for somebody else.

They settled on Access Bank, then a small, crisis-prone lender ranked 65th out of 89 commercial banks in Nigeria. They needed about N1 billion to buy it. Between them, they had only N200 million, so they had to convince outside investors to fund the rest. They needed roughly $9 million to complete the purchase, putting in $1.8 million from their own savings and GTBank shares, and raising the balance from family, friends, and a credit line from a Dutch development finance institution. 

There was a hold-up before they could even take over. The Central Bank of Nigeria delayed approval because it considered both men, at 36, too young to own a bank. They pushed through anyway.

In March 2002, Access Bank’s board appointed Aig-Imoukhuede as Managing Director and CEO, with Wigwe as Deputy Managing Director. The mandate was blunt: move the bank from 65th position into the top 10 within five years. Most people thought it was impossible.

When the Central Bank raised the capitalization bar to N25 billion in 2005, they mobilized fast, raising N15 billion through a public offer, and acquired Capital Bank and Marina International Bank to strengthen their base. By 2008, Access Bank had opened a UK subsidiary, the start of its push beyond Nigeria. 

Aig-Imoukhuede stepped down as CEO in 2013 and handed the reins to Wigwe, his deputy of over a decade. At that point, Access Bank’s total assets stood at N2.6 trillion. Wigwe grew that by 723% in under nine years. The 2018 merger with Diamond Bank made Access Bank the largest in Nigeria by customer base, and the bank went on to expand into Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, and Angola. 

Wigwe died in a helicopter crash in February 2024, alongside his wife and son. Aig-Imoukhuede returned as Chairman of Access Holdings shortly after.

Two GTBank colleagues with a shared dream and barely a fifth of the purchase price between them. That’s how Nigeria’s largest bank by customer base actually started.
