Chatbots are dead. Please focus on things relevant to the Nigerian market.

Stop playing catch-up/champion on an almost obsolete technology!

Look at the porn and betting industry for new ways of reaching out to your customers.

This message is also for other banks thinking of this chatbot nonsense.
