The managing director of Access Bank, Aig Imokhuede is sure in a party mood, the banking whizkid who just laid off about 200 top staff for no reasons has just lavished close to a N200m (Two hundred million Naira) to bring one of the hottest R &B/ Soul songstress, Mariah Carey from the U.S. This much is not a secret anymore.
According to sources, the bank’s management at the weekend had a weird end of the year bash at the 3rd floor of the prestigious Intercontinental hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos and those who attended confided that, the fun was unlimited as bottles of champagnes were popped like it was going out of season.
It was gathered reliably that, the Access Bank MD, Aig had been dreaming of hosting this one in town party where Mariah Carey will host few of his very close friends and confidants, even not all Access Bank’s staff were opportune to attend, yet the party was tagged “Access Bank End Of Year Bash”.
It was also gathered exclusively that, in the front burner of the logistics of bringing Mariah Carey is one of Access Bank’s top echelons, Angela Ebagwa, the better-half of billionaire businessman, Jide Omokore.
“I can’t imagine why a whole bank, an institution entrusted in keeping public fund will embark on such a monumental waste of spending such a stupendous amount on bringing a musician from the U.S for just a party, what kind of party are you doing that can’t pay a Nigerian artiste, we knew that was why he sacked almost 200 staff last month to be able to accommodate the wasteful party and launder some funds, the MD is too randy, that was how they’re using people’s money to acquire private jets, this is somebody that’s lobbying to become governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, his days are definitely numbered, we’re compiling documents of some of his financial atrocities to give to the press soon, we must expose them” one of the aggrieved staff whistled.
The stupendously rich MD of Access Bank, Aig was the host of honour at the grade A party where he was seen feeling cool and having fun at the Mariah Carey party where Champagne and other assortment of quality wines and much to munch were “ACCESS-ibly’ in excess.
Efforts to speak to any of the bank’s corporate communication staff were abortive as their phones rang endlessly without response; we guess they’re still recovering from hangover from the party but we later got to know that, the wild lavish party was meant to send-forth the bank’s MD who’s said to be retiring but then, spending such money on a send-forth gig is rather too much comparing what our society is saying. culled
All you people spending money to the detriment of others,God is watching you all on 100D lenses!
I like ur caption, its only God that can help this country, yet Nigeriians will still go and attack foreign Media that don't always have anything good to say about the country, Radaronline did a story on this, some of us didn't find it funny, but all I could ask myself is "Did they say anything that isn't true?" Classical case of Suffering and Smiling.
ReplyDeleteExactly the case...we attacking the writer? Was he/she wrong??? Did he/she lie???
DeleteAnd how has dis put food on my table?he had better not spend the N1000 in my acct or will personally kill him... #Alinko #Gaylord #Yerima #Smallprick #Wanker #Sisterfucker
DeleteLol @ 1000 in my account. U must be a clown
Delete200 million just like that hian,nigerians ehh,I wonder how that has help to solve our problem in this country
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a big joke.still don't know what's keeping them together.somebody shuld start a WAR!yes.#gulpsMoetnChandon#
DeleteIs 200million even up to $2million??just asking cos this foreign artists get paid $10million to perform in their on soil.blame our devalued currency.besides nigerian artists are too loud..maybe they wanted timeless classic music like carey's songs.
DeleteMoy dot, what did you just type? Can you stand war? FYI, if you like emmigrate, you'll still be a second class citizen.
Delete@Firm Butt,i can bet u with my life that mariah does not get that much from shows in the USA.u think she gop risk all d insecurity and bad talk about naija to come if it wasnt worth her while.

Delete@Nelly,are u still interested in procuring that visa?
DeleteWhat a waste! The corruption in this land is taking another dimension; this is the same bank that has no welfare package for staff and they are spending this much on a gig! I wonder when we'll get it right. Am just sick and tired of this country where nothing seem to work.
ReplyDeleteCaucasians will always rule the world. My baby Kim Kardashian mugged you lot now my wife Mariah just pocketed 200m? Hahahaha oh God
ReplyDeleteMy friend leave dis place and goan clean d shit dripping from ur slacked anus,who dash u caucasian,born throway like u!Eject reject this minute fruity boy...NewBie!
DeleteThis is one of the cronies of GEJ, economic team I guess. Laying off is the norm with all the banks, which is tied to performance but spending lavishly is one thing I don't understand. Lately, most bank don't give rice or veg oil to staff, they only pay 13th month due to cost cutting. But this is bullshit, these banks don't take care of their staff. This guy is seriously lobbying to be CBN governor, na party dem go take all our money do for Dubai and Monaco.
ReplyDelete200M Geez.. That is too much na.. When Iyanya or Wizkid will just cost you an average sum of 3 -5M.. Now 200 workers have lost their jobs just because you want to host Mariah carey.. You're indeed a stupid man.. I just hope its not my money in your bank that you're using if not just watch out coz am coming for you soon.

Naturelle, your mumu comes natural.
Delete@Naturelle, who d fuck are u to ask him how much he has in the bank? Every kobo counts + the stress of opening accounts and stuff. Stop asking stupid questions, it's his right to be curious and complain due to the way some banks liquidate or just go bankrupt.

ReplyDeleteRudegirl..
That stupid party must have cost like 300 - 350million naira. EFCC need to go after his ass.
DeleteGod is watching them alright with 100D binoculars and they don't have a conscience at all considering the fact that so many families will go through untold hardship just for one man to fulfill his desires. It is well.
ReplyDeleteMschewwwwww. Only in Naija will these things happen.

Whoeva adviced him 2 organise dis shindig,must also b a partaker of d suffering dat awaits him,how i wish he gave dose 200 staffs,a million naira each dan spending it on an artiste.

ReplyDeleteHow will the economy of Nigeria ever change when You spend such money for just a day and fire 200 resources that You can have for the next 20years!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of opening an account there,but now I won't open with them.again
ReplyDeleteAnd you people believed he paid mariah Carey 200million naira?...smh
ReplyDeleteMore like Kim visit to Nigeria which darey later said it was all lies, but he enjoyed y it while it lasted.
Nigerians are not that stupid and wasteful.
You really typed this?
DeleteAre u saying mariah carey came for free?
DeleteAm saying she wasn't paid 200million....
Delete10/50/200million, It shouldn't have been someone like him who laid off 200 staff. Some people are just heartless and greedy just like One clueless, corrupt president and his ministers that I know.
DeleteCheck out the caption! Stella u wicked biko!!! Hahahahahaha....

You really believe it's the bank's money? It's all a mega money laundering scheme. Access bank < Angela < Jide Jones < £$£ follow the money trail. It's just like saying when Nduka. O paid Beyonce and Jay Z one million dollars it was This Day money. It's all fronting.
ReplyDeleteIfeanyi you better believe. When you have an oil block, that amount is just a drop in the ocean. Yes, stupid money and stupidly wasteful. Aigboje as CBN governor? He shall wait for a long time.
ReplyDeleteNa thier time dem dey make una free dem. Naija don corrupt 200m no go fit solve d problem. Una talk no go reach were dem dey. After all una talk concerning Stella oduah car nothing change.
ReplyDeleteU go know very soon say our talk go change something. Just few months to go. We are on a countdown
DeleteLyk seriously i don't believe the mentioned amount but if its true then its ridiculous of them.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha naija I hail.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha naija I hail.
ReplyDeleteThat is Nigeria for you.
ReplyDelete@Ifeanyi....9:41am
ReplyDeleteStop displaying ignorance please! Mariah is an A-list artiste. FYI... the #200million will certainly cover the cost of her entourage comprising her bodyguards as well and other staff who will all fly first class and will be lodged in the hotel's VIP suite.
The problem with Nigeria is the CITIZENS. Leaders/people at the top always take us for rides and we do nothing to whip them back into line. In a sensitive Country, citizens can register disapproval of this profligate attitude by boycotting their 'products' or closing accounts with this Bank. Banks in Nigeria do not give a damn about PR because they know the citizens will never 'react' negatively to whatever they do. This is the height of wickedness on the part of the management of ACCESS Bank.....sack 200 personnel during the 'celebratory' month of December then spend #200million to bring a foreign artiste for a 'private' party same month. Chaii! I wonder when this Country of ours will grow. *Mark
33 million dollars given to a foreign performer when 200 employees where laid off = SHAMELESSNESS!
DeleteNwanne, but 20million can cover all the things you recounted in your first paragraph. I just think she wasn't paid morethan 100million naira, I may be wrong though...
DeleteThumbs up guy. Nigerians don't care anyway, we always look the other way. We can use cyber power sha.
DeleteLet me bust ur bubble a little she flew private to nigeria so we are talking anything between $100000 - $200000 so for her to come to nigeria it can't be cheap, insurance and security go enter another hundred oooooo.please she on a higher level to kim k ooo
Delete@Ifeanyi, even if it's 50 million naira. It's uncalled for + the timing is wrong, not after laying of 200 staff. I hope people that have accounts there will open their eyes though . They all need to just close their accounts and change banks to punish the management's asses for wasteful acts like that. To even think of some recent stupid bank charges is annoying. Heartless bastards.
DeleteIts his money let him spend it,
ReplyDeleteIt's not his money.customers,investors' money.ode.
DeleteU mean he would spend his 200million on Mariah Carey? U gotta be outta your mind.
Delete200m whattttt! he would have just shared the money btw the staffs as bonuses for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMumu, dere was bonuses for staffs, amebo oshi
DeleteThis prince of joblessness sef! His inferiority complex waxes stronger everyday! And Stella,you conceded and made the mugu hottie of d day! 'Hottie of the day' ?? For this ope? Hian!
ReplyDeleteSome other bloggers that attended the parry will not have the effontery to publish this news. God dey!
ReplyDeletePenny wise pound foolish.
ReplyDeleteMtchewwww!
this is obviously a lie......how much is her artist fee? rent for venue, food, drinks that they will spend 200 million for the party? while i agree having the party might be in bad taste considering that they are cutting cost by retrenching staff this amount has obviously been exaggerated by people....
ReplyDeleteIt iz well..smh
ReplyDeleteAny fool that still has their money in this bank after such can never get out of stupidity for generations to come. This is so sick. A company that cannot pay its staff brings mariah carey to come and perform for N200million. How much is she worth normally? You just doubled her worth. Silly and pea brained nitwits.
ReplyDeleteDis our country is lawless n corruption would continue.if Access bank uses half of that money to build a branch or branches,that wld creat empolyment for pple.pple like dis MD surely don't end well.God help us in dis country.
ReplyDeleteUna dey complain of Aig, wait for Wigwe. That one na Porn stars him go bring come celebrate Easter and Independence day.
ReplyDeleteI weep for my country,Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteHow have the mighty fallen?Both the poor and rich seems to have ran mad.SAD.........
Nig is doomed if AIG becomes CBN gov oooo
ReplyDeletePeople can lie.. jeez which 200 staff did they sack?? Abi no be the same place I dey work?? God forbid
ReplyDeleteEven me sef dey wonder. The only truth in ths story is that Mariah Carey was invited for Aig's send forth party. Every other news na big lie. Staff were laid off but not up to 50 talkless of 200, Angela bring Mariah Carey na big lie, d author just thot Angela's name will sweeten d story..200m na lie too...btw I work with Accessbank
DeleteMy dear, I tire o, d people dey sacked sef are DGM, executive directors and senior manager...people wey no need our sympathy...and stella is busy carrying false news...
Deletei weep for my country
ReplyDeletei weep for my country
ReplyDeleteThis story is just full of lies. Naija pple we hail. Haba. The story even said intercontinental hotel. Nonsense. And where did they hear of 200 pple sacked???
ReplyDeleteWow, and it is said theirs no money in our country(Nigeria)......Lord have mercy if so much can be wasted on stuffs that dont build or add value to the individual, then what is the hope of our future generation.why not spend money on training and re-training to get the best out of our employees.
ReplyDeleteFanstuff - You are an idiot and obviously don't have any idea what you are talking about with your Jide Jones, money laundering BS. Anyone who knows anything can tell you that Madam Angela was one of those sacked from the bank and she and her husband have not been on good terms with Aig for a long time. And it was not 200 people sacked but some EDs and other top staff to make way for a new top management team. I really wonder how people can come on blogs and comment out of their assess!!
