Congratulations to UBA! Apart from our oil and gas, Nigeria's second-biggest export should be our banks. These banks keep spreading their footprints around the world, acquiring banks across Africa and competing in foreign markets.

That's what an educated mind running a business can do. Anyone wey tell you say education na scam, slap am! Yes, you have my permission to do that.

This is the reason the senile old fool and his bigoted wife were given a state welcome. Elumelu is aloota continuing in and the drug baron was there to act as a guarantor.

So, the handbag called Elumelu is more powerful than the President?, Do you know Dangote and Rabiu were also on the entourage?. Can Elumelu tie the shoe laces of Dangote and Rabiu, let alone the most powerful President in Africa. Your tadpole-like reasoning is the reason people hardly do you favors.

After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria.
