Keep deceiving yourself, the bank that will tell you that your name was not found on the LEDGER!. hahhaha. And will take 4hrs to respond to cheque. Always an old school bank even the friends we have there still think like old school people.

I presume you are over 60 years, no?
The picture you painted is banking in the "days of yore", not in Union Bank of TODAY!

Yes. People that matter. Most of them certificateless. An example is the democratic dictator and ethno-regional bigot of one west African country.

Haapily waitin.

Waoh! I remember this building during my NYSC days. If Nairalanders understand why some banks opened branches and agencies in the villages, the banks will be applauded instead of the bile statements from various posters here. Anyway, its due to our level of understanding of issues.
In the 80s, there were policies by the government to take banking to the rural areas. So, some banks were forced to open small branches or what is referred to as agencies in the villages. For information purposes, Government in those days had huge shares and investment in banks such as UBA, First Bank, Union Bank, Bank of The North, Gamji, Wema, National, ACB and CCB. In the North, we have Bank of The North and Gamji banks. In the East, we have ACB and CCB, in Bendel- present day Edo/Delta, we have New Nigerian Bank. The present day South Westhern states had Wema Bank and National Bank which was a division of Oodua Group. Another major bank of the era in the Western Nigeria then was Cooperative Bank.

All these banks were either fully owned by government- either state of federal or a combination. As such, many policies of the banks were as directed by the government. Of all these banks, three banks were national in nature- First Bank, Union Bank and UBA. The government has substantial shareholding. It was the privatisation policies of the government in the 90s that returned these banks to private individuals and organisations.


Kindly remember, that if visit your grandparents in your village, it is still possible to see relics of these banks and some have metamorphosed into the trends of today.

Back to the Union Bank of Chibok. I remember vividly that in that part of Borno state, there are three major towns Uba, Askira, and Chibok- Uba, a border town between Borno and Adamawa States. The town is divided by a road that leads to Maiduguri. Union Bank has a branch on the Adamawa side while First Bank has a branch on the Borno side. Askira has a branch of UBA while Chibok has a branch of Union Bank. These banks were filled to the brim on market days as people trooped in from neighboring villages to do transactions. This was what led to the idea behind peoples bank of those days and later community banks and which transformed to the microfinance banks of today. So who knows what will happen tomorrow.

Let us know that what we see as he trendy banks of today will also become relics of tomorrow. Change is the only permanent thing in life.

These are information you could take to the bank.

I think I know who that is

SeverusSnape:
My goodness!

Na bank be this?? This structure must have been built before Nigeria's independence.
It looks more like a 'baba lawo' / witch doctor's shrine to me.

Nothern Nigeria is a setback on this country..

trueconscience:
Union Bank is one brand with a very rich history.
In today's world, the Bank is positioned to serve both the old and the young - not excluding the generations unborn!

Have you seen any of their branches recently? How about the staff? Still think its the same "old school songs"? No man, think again!

From the pix, it is not even a branch of union bank, Chibok AGENCY is written on the sign board, no?

Guess you are a staff of the bank?
