I think we must correct this notion on the potential collapse of the five banks. The banks might have been under some strain, but they were nowhere near collapse. The crises began in October of 2008 and for ten months after the crises, there was never a report of any of the banks being unable to meet financial obligations to their depositors. This nonsense that the banks would have collapsed and so would the economy is a creation of Sanusi. Its nonsense.
There is a major problem resulting from Sanusi's actions already, and it has to do with credit freeze from all angles. The local banks have all of a sudden become risk averse. The are calling back even well performing loans in what they are terming a "loan recovery drive". Worse still, foreign banks have seized honoring Letters of Credit from Nigeria, sighting the problems with the banking sector. How would we service our imports especially in the petroleum products sector. There is a real problem brewing and the signs would start showing when we have exhausted our July/August imports. |

DOYO: The rot in the banking sector which is being addressed by the current CBN gov is welcome but what i have an issue with is the approach he has decided to adopt to solve the problem. He has not put into consideration the effect of his blunt and undiplomatic actions in addressing the issues at stake on the Nigerian economy as a whole. The economy as a whole is slowly and gradually coming to a standstill, we are just about to start our own "credit crunch" in Nigeria. Banks in Nigeria currently have stopped granting credit at-least the ones i know and it is affecting business negatively for some of us business owners. For some one like me, i used to enjoy a line of N 5M monthly with my bank to drive sales of my petroleum products, this i have been enjoying since beginning of the year without default. Now my bank has called it in saying they are on a loan recovery drive and loans have been suspended till further notice.
Now what this means is that 2 out of my 4 trucks will be left idle as my own capital is enough to lift 2 at once. I'll adjust but I'm just thinking of how many dealers like myself that will be affected cos a lot of us enjoy such lines with the banks.
Also discussion with one of the accounts guys of our suppliers, a major oil & gas co. in Nigeria reveals that they are also having problems securing loans from banks to import their refined crude, the guy actually told me that foreign companies are actually requesting for 100% payment b4 delivery which is not possible w/o the support of the banks and the foreign banks have refuse to receive L/C's (Letters of Credit) from Nigerian banks as they cannot be trusted due to the information coming out of the country.
i was made to understand that after the last batch of refined crude that has been paid for with the support of the banks is delivered to the country there might be scarcity of fuel due to lack of funds for importation.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed and see where all these will lead us. Majority of Nairalanders are employees, most of which don't understand the impact of Sanusi's actions on businesses. I wish I could put a little sense in these folks man! Teach dem just a little economics, so they can understand the correlation btw the loans thier employers obtain and the paychecks they get at the end of the month ! Sanusi's moves have practically collapsed the credit system in Nigeria and that would in turn have adverse effects on the economy. Most banks are now on a loan recovery drive and all have now become risk averse. When the the Financial crises hit America the result was a credit freeze, and the US Government was sooo worried that it did everything in its power to re-ignite credit. The impact of Sanusi's actions would start sometime around end of October when the country has exhausted July imports. Nigerians would start whinning, by which time it would be too late. As you've stated, the sector that would be most affected is the importation of petroleum products. Enough fuel scarcity! |

[quote author=z-murda link=topic=318133.msg4466815#msg4466815 date=1251884373]Good question.
I have collected loads of loans from banks in the UK and the US without putting down a dime except for my good credit history and credit ratings. I don't particularly see a big deal in collecting loans when you can repay it back/can service it and you have the means to.
I think we should move from this petty banking thing, where only cronies get loans in Nigeria. I wanted a loan, no one gave me. I started a business with foreign loans and they all want to be my banker. Its depressing.[/quote]I agree fully well that loans can be given out without collateral. However, one of Sanusi's reason for axing the Bank execs is the fact that they gave loans without collaterals. An act which the article points him guilty.
The banks been punished today are the banks that were best at helping small businesses! Oceanic and Intercontinental bank were generous when it came to issuing loans to small businesses. |

Looks like Sanusi was also into the game of issuing loans without collateral. CBN Governor, Sanusi, Gave N1.56B Loan Without Collateral At First Bank! Sun Aug, 30 2009
By Tobi Smith
As the ripple in the banking sector continue to escalate, more and more people are being caught in the dragnet. The Times of Nigeria can exclusively report that current CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido, who is leading the effort to recover “non-performing” loans, gave a loan of N1.56B to publisher of Next Newspapers, Dele Olojede, without collateral as the Executive Director Of First Bank.
Olojede was said to have borrowed the money last year when Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Lamido Sanusi, was First Bank Executive Director in charge of risk management.
Many of the debtors have started repaying their loans to avoid being put on the next list of defaulters to be published by the EFCC. Olojede’s headache is said to be the fact that the EFCC is after debtors, whether their loans are performing or not. EFCC Chairman, Farida Waziri, recently told those raising eye-brows to pay first before complaining about the inclusion of their names on the debtors’ list. The EFCC disclosed last Wednesday that it had arrested an additional 24 executives and other debtors, bringing to 39 the number of those in its custody. Five bank MDs were sacked by the CBN on August 14, in part over alleged recklessness and financial mismanagement, which led to a debt profile of N1.1 trillion, given out mostly in loans without collateral. The MDs fired were Cecilia Ibru (Oceanic), Erastus Akingbola (Intercontinental), Sebastian Adigwe (Afribank), Barth Ebong (Union), and Okey Nwosu (Finbank). Except Akingbola, all are being detained by the EFCC, along with over 30 executives of the subsidiaries of the banks. They have all been granted bail, but have not met the stiff conditions. Akingbola is said to be on the run. Others grinding their noses against the cells of the EFCC include Samuel Adegbite, Toyin Phillips, Sani Adams, Bayo Dada, and Dayo Famoroti. They also include Henry Onyemen, Niyi Opeodo, and Peter Ololo. Waziri disclosed last Thursday that the EFCC has obtained a court order to detain the suspects beyond 48 hours, because their alleged offences are far beyond civil matters. She urged the judiciary to refrain from granting frivolous interlocutory injunctions to the debtors, whom she accused of “economic sabotage” who would not be allowed to escape with their loots.
Olojede was said to have initially met Henry Imasekha last year to help him secure the loan from a new generation bank without success. “It was after then he approached Hakeem Bello-Osagie, former United Bank for Africa (UBA) Chairman, who introduced him to Sanusi,” the source recounted. Aside the loan, it was learnt that Bello-Osagie, Nasir el-Rufai (former Federal Capital Terrority Minister), and Nuhu Ribadu (former EFCC Chairman), invested in the newspaper. “Our main concern now is to ensure that First Bank’s name does not appear on the list of banks being owed. “We have sent people to Olojede to pay up before the EFCC gets wiser,” the source added.

Politics › Sanusi's Spends N100bn To Print notes!! by PapaBrowne(op): 8:33am On Sep 02, 2009 |
What a wonder!! What is Nigeria into with this Sanusi guy! 100 billion Naira spent to print 420 billion Naira. This is crazy! What is General Sanusi up to! Looks like Nigeria is in for some real drama! Enjoy the article! CBN spent N100bn to print N420bn for troubled banks - We ’ll print more naira to save other banks - CBN - Reps set for showdown with CBN gov
From Odidison Omankhanlen, Gbola Subair, Friday Ekeoba and Idowu Samuel - 02.09.2009
THERE are strong indications that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) expended over N100 billion to print the N420 billion bailout funds for the five troubled banks in the country. The cost of printing the currency was borne by the apex bank at the normal rate currencies are printed, which is usually three times less the value of the current value of the naira. However, the CBN has said that it will print more naira to bail out more banks as it concludes auditing of 11 other banks in the ongoing audit process. The currency notes, which were printed abroad, was done without the approval of the National Assembly, a development which the legislature had kicked against as usurpation of its power by the CBN. All efforts to get the response of the apex bank proved abortive. It will be recalled that the CBN governor, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, while responding to a question at a Town Hall meeting with stakeholders in London recently on how the CBN sourced the N420 billion it recently injected into five banks in the country, said: “We printed money. We created an asset on the balance sheet basically to pump money into the system because money supply was negative in the first half of the year. We did not borrow money.” The CBN had on August 14 sacked the chief executives and executive directors of five banks; Oceanic Bank International, Intercontinental Bank, Afribank Nigeria, Union Bank of Nigeria and FinBank, over issues bordering on breach of corporate governance and insider-related abuses. He noted that the failed banks had N747 billion non-performing loans and other exposures totaling N2.3 trillion in their books. The CBN injected N420 billion as life support into the banks. Union Bank of Nigeria received N120 billion as the largest beneficiary; Oceanic Bank, N100 billion; Intercontinental Bank, N100 billion; Afribank Nigeria, N50 billion; and FinBank, N50 billion. Subsequently, the CBN published the names of individuals and corporate debtors of the banks and through the efforts of the EFCC, huge recoveries had been made. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives is bracing up for a showdown with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, over his injection of N400 billion into five distressed banks without seeking the authorisation of the National Assembly. The House is even irked by the insistence of the CBN governor that the apex bank in Nigeria did not require any form of clearance from the National Assembly to offer such a loan to the affected banks to save them from collapse. Indications that the House would not take the issue casually with the CBN emerged on Tuesday following series of meetings by the principal officials on the steps to take to call the Central Bank governor to order. The House, which is currently on end of the year recess, is expected to issue a strong statement on the action by Sanusi, which members were said to have viewed as a violation of the constitution. Nigerian Tribune learnt that the manner the CBN had been addressing the issue of the five troubled banks, most especially the role being played by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in clamping the former bank executives into detention, at the alleged prompting of the CBN, will be the major issue to be discussed by the Representatives on their resumption at the end of the month. The Principal House officials during their meetings were said to have considered the necessity of calling the CBN governor to order by way of summoning him to explain reasons behind his actions. The House Committee Chairman on Land Transport, Honourable Benard Udoh, who confirmed the position of the House Leadership on the crisis in the banking sector in a chat with the Nigerian Tribune, said members would not spare Sanusi on the actions he had taken so far. Meanwhile, Sanusi and his management team are to appear before the Senate Committee on Banking today to answer charges of improper appropriation of money to the five troubled banks. Sanusi himself disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja at a press briefing held after the 210 edition of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. According to Sanusi, the N420 billion given to the five troubled banks was not a bailout but financial intervention to bring back those banks into a position where they would be able to meet their contractual obligations to their customers, stating that the ongoing debt recovery efforts in these banks was to ensure that the depositors and the banking industry were not endangered. Disclosing that the apex bank had concluded the audit process of 11 other banks, the CBN governor said at the end of the day if any of these banks were found to be defective, the CBN would print naira to bail them out. “We are going to create money, we will increase money supply to provide financial intervention to bail out any of the banks in the recently concluded auditing for the next batch of eleven banks,” the governor said. On the furore generated by the CBN bailout of the five banks, the CBN governor said the apex bank did not need any appropriation to bail out the banks, stressing that what the CBN did was to lend money to the affected institutions.

For a country with $30bn reserves, I do not consider $2bn worth of quantitative easing to be extreme. Yankee printed $300bn to buy junk assets from their financial institutions whilst Britain also printed £125bn. Ibime, you surely do need a refund! Even if partial. Seriously, you should know that there are only 3 currencies in the world that can actually use quantitative easing without experiencing inflation! And that's the Euro, Pound and Dollar. Reason been that much of that money would be sold outside it's shores for other countries to hold or utilize in international trade transations. And to think that 420 billion Naira is about 25% of this year's budget! Its called Sanusi's Sudanese styled economics!! Hyperinflation in the making! |

The merits of non interest banking cannot be denied. Whether we call it Islamic banking or whatever, it is okay to have such banks in Nigeria. The problem is when you creep up with an agenda like Sanusi is doing, takeover some already built up banks and then hand them over to Islamic banks! This is immoral and would further divide the already very fragile cacophony of a country called Nigeria. They tried to set up Jaiz Bank a few years ago, everybody was fine with it, but the bank couldn't raise the required 25bn naira. To now take over banks other people built up with their sweat and blood and hand them over on a platter to these Islamic banks is a slap on the face of the Islamic religion itself. |

On March 23rd 2009 Vanguard wrote this article(below) exposing the ploy of some forces to create problems in the banking industry. The purpose and intent of the ploy alongside their propagators were described. Funnily at the period this article was written First bank was allegedly involved in demarketing Intercontinental bank. (There is high level proof and evidence to this). The First Bank MD at the time was Sanusi(Now CBN Governor). Read the article below. Comparing Vanguard Newspapers findings at the time to the events that have begun to unfold in the industry is indicative of strategic implementation of a specific agenda.Vanguard predicted 5 banks being targeted. Vanguard predicted creation of confusion in the industry. Vanguard made a couple other predictions which have begun to unfold. Read excerpts from the article. Group plots takeover of five top banks E-mail Written by Omoh Gabriel & Emeka Mamah Monday, 23 March 2009
LAGOS—ANTI-CONSOLIDATION forces have regrouped with the hope of dismantling the structures and forcing a takeover of the top five banks in the country, Vanguard can now reveal.
The grand plan by the group is to cause panic and uncertainty in the industry and make the target banks look unsafe for depositors.
Meantime, indications emerged yesterday that the Federal Government may announce the names of a new Governor of the Central Bank (CBN) and the Auditor-General of the Federation (AGF) in April just a few weeks before the tenure of the incumbents run out.
However, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed concern over what it described as the rapidly deteriorating liquidity situation in the banking industry and tasked the Central Bank (CBN) to make public information on causes of the development as well as the scale of the crisis.
Vanguard investigations revealed that the aim of the anti-consolidation forces is to cause loss of public confidence in the banking industry and compel the Federal Government to move in by injecting funds. Further, they ultimately plan to instigate government to take equity holdings in the targeted banks.
Vanguard gathered that the group at work is made up of former bank owners who lost out during the consolidation exercise, a powerful clique in the present government, and some aggrieved persons in three of the six geopolitical zones in the country who felt left out in the consolidation exercise.
Presidency sources disclosed that those who felt left out in the consolidation exercise are up in arms to recoup what they felt they lost during Obasanjo years.
Part of the plans hatched by the group is to ensure that the incumbent Governor of the Central Bank, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, does not get a second term. The plan is also to ensure that whatever gains consolidation recorded are discredited. This, it was learnt, was meant to force the President to act quickly in the matter of appointment of a successor to Soludo as they anticipate that the president’s slow move may scuttle their dreams and cause the renewal of Soludo’s re-appointment for a second term.
The group’s second game plan is to make Nigerian banks look unsafe in the eye of the banking public. Part of the game is to spread rumours that some banks are unsound and are on the verge of collapse. They send out text messages to individuals and account holders passing wrong information on their target banks.

To all those trying to act politically correct (trying to act detribalised), saying Sanusi has no agenda, watch as events unfold!! I think you are just slow naturally, so it might take u sometime to understand events.
Sometimes in order to act more advanced, we stay foolish! Thats exactly what i can see here with those that can't see Sanusi's handwriting! You would only realise what has happened when the banking industry goes the way of the NNPC, et al.
Whether we like it or not, most things in Nigeria and the world at large are controlled by these three ills of ethnicity, religion and race! We cannot run away from it. Ethnicity, Religion and Race are the factors most used in political decisions worldwide.
Wars are fought till today, immigration policies are formed, national strategies are outlined over these three factors- ethnicity, religion and race. So, to all those insisting we get blind to the ethnic/religious motives of the CBN Governor, I beg to differ.
Sanusi is only acting true to type. He has an agenda which has been predicted long before now!! But I already see his end sha. He has already bungled the whole thing legally!Not a very smart guy at all. |
