If First Bank JAGA JAGA ! then Nigeria is finish

We all know too well that first bank is one of Nigeria 's premier bank.

It has been living in past glory all this past years as Zenith Bank, UBA and Guaranty Trust Bank have either outgrown them or are rubbing shoulder with first bank.

Soludo recapitalization took them to a new height during Obasanjo and Jonathan government.

I am wondering why they are still having problem.

Look at Ecobank.

They are finish !

Diamond Bank has been taken over by Access bank.

Nigeria economy is getting worse by the day.

PROF. BEN AYADE OF CROSS RIVERS STATE ! Abeg take am easy with first bank !

I know you want to build deep sea port by fire or by force !

As much as i know how much gov Ayade over taxes, I'm not sure this news is true.......
