War Of Words Between Nigeria Banks
Last week, some of our favourite Nigerian banks engaged in an online tussle for superiority. Sterling Bank put up a subliminally crafted ad insinuating that it was ahead of some other banks (First Bank, Union Bank, Guarantee Trust Bank Access Bank and United Bank of Africa). This provoked responses from the banks who, “caught their sub.” Find the hilarious conversation below:There are actually 7 banks that was washed in this picture.?. Name all 7 with their precise location in the pic and #retweet and get 2k airtime…#BankWars #BanksWar #BankWar #SterlingBank pic.twitter.com/BfD3aS1SJ1
