This morning, I feel the need to let out my voice and speak on this raging issue; I apoligize in advance to those who might feel offended but I sincerely feel a need to speak on this and educate people.
It’s on this issue of GTBank and Innosson.
Suddenly the matter has taken a curve and suddenly its being cited as another “attack” against the Igbos. Suddenly there is a war cry: All Igbos must close their GTB accounts and move them to Igbo banks.
Suddenly, with the lapse of the last “Biafra” episode, another opportunity has been presented for another macabre dance.
I don’t know Innosson. Neither do I have any relationship with GTBank. I read through what reportedly transpired and without prejudice, GTBank might have appeared to have acted inappropriately like ALL our banks do.
On the other hand, GTBank has alleged that Innosson presented false import papers etc. I can see a transaction that went awry, but no tribal targeting; it was basically business.
And at any rate, to those chanting the tribal song, even if we were to agree with you for an insane moment, where were you when GTBank, a “Yoruba” bank loaned that large amount to Innosson? Why didn’t he get the money from supposedly “Igbo” banks?
How come our Igbo brothers who are bank CEO’s didn’t grant him the same loan or more to support a brother, an Ndigbo?
When the relationship was good, no one sang any tribal song!
I recall the noisy case of GTBank and the late Arisekola. Given Arisekola’s prominence, shouldn’t we have said it was an attack against the Yorubas by the same GTBank? By now it must be clear that the owners of GTBank are natives of Mars and not Nigeria, they’re a financial institution and not king makers !!!
Truth is there is nothing tribalistic about this matter. I see a bank that wants its money back at all cost especially at a time that the economy is poor.
I see a bank that’s supportive to any and every entrepreneur but also wants to make money and grow its brand.
These things did not happen because the owner of Innosson is Igbo. People forget that GTBank has many major Igbo shareholders.
I call on men and women of goodwill. Nigerians from the East, West, North and South. Let’s join forces and rally against this nonsense which sadly is being sponsored by supposedly educated people. Let’s blame GTBank if they have behaved inappropriately. Let Innosson continue to approach the Law for relief.
If you quit GTBank today and migrate to another bank, how sure are you those banks won’t mess you up tomorrow?
Stop The Ethnic Crusade, Kill Sentiments!!!

Judging by the news flying round, it wil be difficult for anybody to convince me that what is happening to Innoson does not have a political under tone.

According to the court judgements, Gtb is the one owing Innoson and the other way round. Innoson won all their cases agains Gtb and now gtb has appealed the case pending in Supreme court. Gtb claimed paying those money to Innoson wil get them bankrupt.

Why turning round and be talking abt how Innoson procured the loan instead of talking abt hw to pay innoson? Why is Gtb putting the cart before the horse?

Gtb is the thief here

I think this is the gist that people are not getting and is the biggest drawback to us as a nation.

This should never be about Hausa vs Igbo or Igbo vs Yoruba. It should strictly be about a business deal gone wrong and the culprit brought to book whether GTBank or Innoson himself.

But no, ethnic warlords latch on and turn it into a tribal issue. Just shows we have a long way to go as a nation

i think this is a biased statement, are you sure you also heard from innoson group before coming into conclusion? where did you state that innoson group claimed to be owed billion by GTB? Nigeria will be united when people starts being honest to themselves before the public.
