The truth about this matter is that Majority of workers in Diamond Bank are igbos very few Yoruba, my sister works with Diamond Bank at the Head office so I know and am yoruba. It is like that in Yoruba owned banks too like GTB, Skye bank and First bank but I think it's more obvious and glaring in Diamond Bank. That's to tell you Tribalism in Nigeria is Legendary.

true about diamond bank, i can't count how many of my ibo classmates went straight to diamond after graduating

And what of zenith bank? Fidelity and diamond are major Nigerian banks in the so-called top 10.
Dumb iya.

kunbit:

Do you mean tribalistic? I'm sure you mean tribal not racists, or Ibos and Yorubas now belong to different races? I think Ibos are the most tribalistic, go to the politics section and see the number of tribalistic posts there started by an ibo person.
Can you imagine some writing a post titled 'the roads in Enugu is better all the ones in yoruba land'. Who cares? I believe it's insecure people that act that way.
About institutions, go to the east and see if their institutions are not dominated by Ibos, it's just a matter of location which is very normal.

Who told you that UBA has never been involved in any merger?? Guy, go and do your research, o! The present UBA was formed from a merger of the old Standard Trust Bank, and Continental Bank which merged with UBA. Even Diamond Bank merged with former Lion Bank, to become what it is today. Fidelity also merged with FSB International Bank and Manny Bank. So what are you talking about??!

As for Igbo-owned banks, who says that some of them were not badly managed? Maybe you can tell us what became of Hallmark Bank owned by Marc Wabara, Orji Kalu and John Udeagbala, Citizens International Bank owned by the Udensi family, African Continental Bank Plc etc., and how their Igbo owners failed to rescue them.

hcf

Another clueless and dumb OP from a lazy family!

:oG

If you observe most of this Biafran banks are 3rd class banks because Yorubas bring innovation to the table just take a look at Yoruba banks the biggest in Africa

Igbos are born to lie and form stories

When you say that. Igbo banks merging with other in banks created diamond and fidelty hanks

stevoski059:

Yes, you are right, Yorubas ran down ACB, the only bank owned by the Old Eastern Region whereas the bank owned by the Old Western Region (National Bank now merged with Wema Bank) is still growing up till this very second. Why are all Ibos stupid just like Ojukwu, Azikwe, Anyaokwu and Ekweme?

Acb was ran by igbo people ,not Yoruba.

When people shout Biafra, they seem to forget that some of the bank is own by east part which is Biafra
Even some of the companies are ownership to be Biafra or east.

Is like saying is the north dead. No. Some companies are own by the old north

Ghana has 6 government universities.

East or Biafra has 18 government universities

18 government own television station so call Biafra. The country of Ghana don't have

Understand the difference between "merged" and " bought out". UBA bought out Standard Trust and Continental when they merged. Diamond bought out Lion Bank, e.t.c . Meaning, the buyer not merger has sole right to retain its board of directors, brand and culture as in the case of Diamond and UBA. So what the previous guy was saying is spot on..no Biafran run banks has liquidated or forced to merge due to insolvency. Mostly its yoruba run banks that get run down or merging to save face. The best banks in Nigeria today remains Diamond, Zenth and Fidelity...all Biafran run. Now understand?

steveeeee5:


idiiot are you saying first bank owned by yoruba? the thing is that if any yoruba man is appointed the MD in any establishment he definitely turns it into an all yoruba affair not that they own it.

Very true.
