''Dear Stella,
Please publish as a rejoinder to the topic you ran referenced above
Thank you.
''I write this piece not exactly as a rejoinder but rather to clear my
name and set the record straight. For the record, my names are Gerald
Ativie Ijiebor, born June 26th. I ordinarily would not join issues
with the low lifer and mediocre like the writer of the SHADY DEALS IN
SKYE BANK on April 17th 2015 on the various site that the "gist" was
posted and re-posted - NAIRALAND, LINDA IKEJI and STELLA DIMOKO .
Whosoever wrote the piece and JOINED my name with whatever it was only
him/her can ascertained is hereby called upon to "PUBLISH" facts as it
concerns me.
If ever a people will come together as NIGERIANS to seek out a
Nigerian YOUTH with INTEGRITY, i will not hesitate to come forward. On
this very note i write to CLEAR MY NAME and place on record the
stupidity of the writer who sought to associate my name with any
CARTEL in anywhere in the world.
I call on all serious minded bloggers to please investigate as i know
and believe that SKYE BANK'S investigation will not find ANYTHING on
me as i am (ON THE JOB) SPOTLESS. Since June 23 2003 when i got the
letter of employment till date i had read and re-read ethics and i
know the meaning.
Till date if i have achieved anything in life, GOD remains that
FULCRUM, with sheer passion, dedication and resilience everything
exist in me.
Up on till recently i worked in Adeola Hopewell Street branch of the
same bank having being transferred from Ajose Adeogun branch in 2010.
I write to challenge this faceless being to publish whatever
story/fact you have on me - GERALD ATIVIE IJIEBOR, there is no need to
be comical about it, unmask yourself and i will sue you for defamation
of character. I got employed in August 2003 and rose through the ranks
till your unfortunate lies about my belonging to a cartel as you so
put it.
My background and humble achievements in life thus far makes one ask
this salient questions, that you (writer) lack GOD'S blessings in your
life makes me a "thief" because i have a property gotten through my
sweat?
That you could never get anything done legally in your life, makes me
a "cartel" member?
For the records, in 1990 way back in Surulere (Obele oniwala) i
successfully mobilized secondary school mate in the neighborhood to
form AUSPICES CLUB OF OBELE ONIWALA the sole aim? To raise funds and
install street lights. - Go to Durajaiye Street and Obele Oniwala
Housing Estate to find out - Parents never believed it was do-able,
but we achieved it.
1992 and 1993 together with Senior Students of Gbaja Boys High School
successfully mobilized to donate stuff to the school alma mater -
GBHS.
1999/2000 in the North (Kebbi State) during the NYSC i was the only
corp member left at the barracks in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State when
"signal" came from the Army H/Q Sokoto for the outstanding 3 months
payments for corp member who had passed out Jan/Feb (Mind you i was a
batch A corper and i served with Kebbi State Chamber of Industry Mines
and Agriculture) to send a representative to Sokoto Nigeria Army if my
memory serves me well 81 Div. I collected over N3M on behalf of
ex-corp member, came back to Birnin kebbi, purchased MONEY ORDER from
NIPOST and posted these money(s) using the ADDRESS BOOK we had created
in Kebbi then to the respective corp members who served with the
Nigerian Army. (Before you begin to say is it possible, NIPOST Birnin
Kebbi and Apapa-Ajegunle will have the records)
I need you to ask yourself this questions, How many Nigerians had
access to N3m in 1999/2000 or would collect money on behalf on ex-corp
members who had passed out and rushed to their various destination to
job hunt and start to look for the corp members send out money order
with a return path write up of if you "got" this blue copy of the
money-order send me a letter or call me (landline number) for the cash
copy so as to get your money? (The practice in the Army then was, Corp
members would have worked 3 mothns before getting their allowee then
backlog after the service year)
How many Nigerian you know would get to Lagos clearly four/five months
after service and still be reaching out to people who have no idea
they have money to pick up in Kebbi State?
I really would love it if you can unveil yourself and produce facts of
any BAD LOANS i booked in Skye Bank 2003 - 2015. Its on record that i
recovered more delinquent facilities than any staff of SKYE BANK in
the same grade bracket and beyond in my region and was duly recognized
for these feats.
I wish you will publish the much talked about CASH BACKED facilities i
booked without funds owners authorization.
I dare you to produce DOCUMENTS USED FOR IMPORTATION by me - Gerald
Ativie Ijiebor as i never for per took in your phantom importation
scheme.
I dare you to produce PROPERTIES DOCUMENTS or PHOTO(S) of properties i
owned in LEKKI, save for the property i co-owned with my wife Pharm.
Mrs Philomena Isimenmen Gerald-Ativie an ex-staff of Chevron clinic
Gbagada and current Managing Partner of Korban Pharmaceuticals.
Mr. / Mrs. lowlife that you are, it was GRACE then and it still GOD'S
GRACE now in my life. Should you hear my story after your publication
then you will know that truly GOD's grace abound in my life.
I sincerely pray you'll find the MORAL COURAGE to publish your FACTS
as it concerns me and not hoodwink people to believing every success
is dent with a FRAUDULENT endeavor or past.
WRITE THIS DOWN and MEMORIZE same.
I started a compulsory N50,000.00 mutual funds savings with IBTC -
around 2004 please cross-check with the bank as they are still in
business.
I obtained mortgage loans (various) from INTERCONTINENTAL HOME SAVINGS
AND LOANS (Now TRUST BOND) 2007/2008 and 2009 cross-check.
I obtained loans from ROSABOND FINANCIAL SERVICE - 2010
I collected at various times and till date loans from RENCREDIT.
I am a borrowing customer of PAGECREDIT.
All loans are without default (If i belong to a DEAL engaging CARTEL
will i be borrowing for capital project). Some of us are prudent in
our financial life and we realize early enough in life that GOD'S
grace with PASSIONATE HARD WORK can and will always get you ahead of
the pack.
It may interest you that i have NEVER traveled out/holiday outside the
country, the international passport i owned was a gift from a customer
who found it "strange" that i WORK as i do and not take "vacations"
abroad. (Vacation abroad cost between N350-N400,000) luxury i can't
afford.
It may interest you to know that despite all your accusations, my wife
own a 2014 HONDA CRV duly apply for and financed and approved by the
management of SKYE BANK PLC for KORBAN PHARMACY retail arm. Ogbeni or
whosoever you are is that a LUXURY CAR i mean N6M is luxury to you?
You can never amount to anything in life if all you think about is how
to Pull Him/Her Down (PHD) as i work HARD for everything and GOD
waters my seeds on all front.
Get your facts right, if it concerns GERALD ATIVIE IJIEBOR and work
ethics I DON'T BEND THE RULES. I am a believing christian, dodged,
passionate and resilient.
If there be an INTEGRITY test administered on bankers, i will pass
with marks to spare for low-lifers like you to pick up.
From STELLA DIMOKO to NAIRALAND AND LINDA IKEJI i say it LOUD again
and again PUBLISH anything on me - Gerald Ativie Ijiebor.
I come to the table and my HANDS are IMMACULATE.
See you in court if ever you unmask yourself. PIG''.
Thank you for clearing the air on these Allegations Mr Gerald
Who wan read this epistle??...
ReplyDeleteNot me biko...
Next?...
Abeggy! Na today. They join cartels in the bank, all sorts of shady deals, pull of a major heist, resign... because they know other members of the cartel can't blow the whistle on them. Life of a sharp Nigerian banker.
Delete6m is luxury ooooo. It is my dear brother. The average working Nigerian buys 1.5 - 2.8 m tokunbo cars.
Am confused here. Lemme check google for the previous scandal.
DeleteI don't understand
ReplyDeleteGod will settle it for the parties concerned
@Galore
Na wa o. I actually read that comment on the said post. Choiii. The man don vex o. Whoever you are, if you aren't sure please be careful how u publish people's names on line...it costs people a lot when they are accused wrongly. Have a conscience biko
DeleteLawd!!! That's too long man. Let d accuser read n summarise for me biko.
ReplyDeleteHis blood is hot oooo!
ReplyDeleteSkye bank that bought Mainstreet bank una don start again. let me go and withdraw my money i put there if you all cannot put your house in order.
ReplyDeleteOga Gerald N6 million is money to a lot of people. see the way you put it. am sure you have benefitted from the scheme of things.
we are waiting to see who is telling the truth or lies.
Mr/Miss Anonymous stop making baseless stories put your name on it if you can dare.
Ok am lost.
ReplyDeleteCan someone summarize in clear and simplistic English what exactly happened.
I swear one thing wey e talk, I no understand.
DeleteHe say him no be thief. Shikena
DeleteThe accuser made a comment that wasn't even relative to the post highlighted above. The person mentioned in passing names of skye bank staff that he/she thinks are involved in a bank deal to enrich themselves to the detriment of customers. The accuser claimed the mentioned names, which this poster's name was mentioned too, are living luxurious lives and having numerous properties and luxurious cars from their 'loots'. So I guess the poster read it and had to clear his name from it.
DeleteAm i by any way expected to read all this?
DeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteNawao

ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
Thank you for clearing the air Mr Gerald. May the forces be with you.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
There is something called whistle blowing in every bank. I believe you are a staff of Skye Bank.
As such, follow the appropriate channel with facts.
Oyibo
I second u.
DeleteBeef everywhere. Am sure this Gerald and the rest people mentioned are close to this Ronke (their Boss) This Biase Anon is just paranoid.
The write up from the Anon is total bulLshit.
There are procedures for approval of Loan.
Anon check the next door, if you can't stand them please resign from the Bank because I know u are a pained Colleague
Once you mentioned the NYSC stuff, I saw myself in you. You are a good man. I don't know the story, but God bless you. Please next time, write 'I' in capital.
ReplyDeleteOmo see grammar
ReplyDeleteMcheeew
ReplyDeleteThe most useless bank I have ever seen. It took this useless bank 8 good months to open a salary account for me. I finally requested for a debit card, they gave me a month later but up till now, I can't access my account and they said my debit card has not been activated. There is no branch I didn't visit on the island last week. The next time I visit you people's bank ehn, voices will be raised. And to think that I have been debited for the same card. Useless good for nothing bank. You people had better not fold with my money oh
Let me make out time for you guys first
Go pack ur money come put am for my account.
DeleteI go dey give u small small but will spend more as the account holder.
Skye bank sucks.
Too long abeg
ReplyDelete"Too long abeg" but you could comment. Why are our most youths like this? Impatient, slow, lazy...but you still want succeed and be noticed. Hiaan! If its too long simply leave and go read something, no be jamb. Another one said "too long somebody pls read and summarise for me"....gabbage in gabbage out. And you all are the future of nigeria!!!??? Please may the old and grey never relinquish power cos the future isn't looking so bright. And for the few handworking, smart, resourceful, creative, honest youths out there, more efforts will be rewarded and please carry the rest of the numbskulls with you.
DeleteOnly God knows best, but if you are there to defame innocent people's name and character, your cup will definetely run full soon.
ReplyDeleteSummary pls

ReplyDeletePark well abeg
Exactly what I was thinking!!!
DeleteSeen
ReplyDeleteSee reference
ReplyDeleteN6million car is luxury o, lol. Good thing you cleared your name. Some people are just out to destroy one's reputation.
ReplyDeleteWell written sir!!! Oya Bloggers,, answer your query hehehehe.. Btw.. Frau Kork, I refreshed the page almost 10 times yesterday evening looking for new post but non came forth till early hours of this morning... you starved me ooo.. lol.. I come dey parambulate like chick wey loss him mama.. hehehehe anyways!! Please, where can I find the link to the Original story of Sir Gerald??? My aporoko antenna is on.. hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI love reading well written pieces, and this is one.
ReplyDeleteMary!
Pieces? Jah Jehova!
DeleteGuess anonymous was thinking of me when he/she wrote that..
DeleteYou are forgiven!...lol
Aproko! She is right.
Delete
DeleteMr Gerald,
It's 2015. In grammar, somethings haven't changed in this regard....
I just wanna say...
It's my name IS...!!!!!
Anon, you said. 'Well written piece'? With insults littered mike refuse?? I wonder at your reading culture.
And yes 6m for something that is not an asset is a LUXURY. Very strange that you can afford that but 'cannot afford a 350k holiday.'
Ayeesh
La katie, "well written pieces" is correct. But it's okay to display your ignorance. Anon 16.25 or ayeesh or whatever your name is, the 1st Anon was correct. You're playing the teacher and you couldn't even see that. Both of you should research more and work on YOUR own reading habits (and brightness, if I may add). Like you said ayeesha, this is 2015. Step your brain up. *** The End***
DeleteAt anon 18:50 I have no problem with ' well written piece or pieces or joints or whatever' I never said I did. I have a problem with the insults littering an official statement.
DeleteRead my comment and I pray God gives you understanding even though I know reading and comprehension is a major challenge for most Nigerian children.
In a bid to sound smart and cocky, you just ended up looking Daft. Kpele my dear.
And it's Ayeesh NOT Ayeesha. Reorganize YOUR brain.
DeleteAyeesh or Ayeesha or Aye...lolll you cray cray loll @ Reorganize your brain. Abeg e don do inugo, make u no go wound pesin with ur mouth.
Lmao! AyeeshA or ayesa or whatever ( sly grin) . Oh I'm sorry. My bad. I get you clearly now. By the way, what is wrong with insults in an "official" statement? Especially one of this nature? The man has been accused falsely and he's pissed. Allow him cuss out in peace. Miss goody two shoes. :D
Delete...Of which, this is not an official reply, it can't be official on a blog, madam/oga Ayeesh. Take note,I hold an Msc, MBA and researching for a PHD, all from and in International Universities, and I am less than 28 years old. Where I am, you probably can't stand. Don't get me started sir/ma'am. Have a lovely day.
DeleteMary.
Asides that, it was not so much of the insults, it was more of the flow, consistency and language construction as well as how he defended himself with fact, Miss/Mr Ayeesh.
DeleteI have time today, I'm taking a break off research.
Mary!
Oga you said u are a christian but , eewo nte pe ? You don't have to curse /abuse the person nau .

ReplyDeleteThere are things going on in skye bank that is affecting the growth of the bank and the MD, board and shareholders should be aware of. There is a lot of insider abuse done with impunity. The loans that should be given to customers are used up by staff themselves, especially by a strong cartel within the bank.
Recently, one of the staff in senior management Ronke Bolu made N17m on a single fx transaction in a marine platform transaction and management is unable to take action because she is a child of the system. All her subordinates see her and her acolytes pocket money that should go to the bank's bottom line everyday. She lives like a princess wearing diamonds daily yet we know her family house in Ibadan - a very humble abode indeed.
Ronke will do anything as long as ego is involved. Including desecrating her marriage. She has been heard to say she does not care that people know she is dating FF, the pan man. Rumor has it that she travelled to London to warm the bed of an ex MD of the bank to be promoted a few years back. Poor Lanre.
The main story here is the fact that some of her trusted staff in the adeola hopewell branch have been redirecting the loans customers of the banks should enjoy into their own pockets, building houses and buying luxurious cars. These staff use innocent customers deposits as collateral to borrow money. If the MD will check all the loans in the branch he will notice that they have gone bad because it is the employees who took them.
The cartel doing this obnoxious thing involves Ronke Bolu, Dipo Oshodi, Seun Olanrewaju (who has built 4 town houses in the LEKKI area and moved into one of them), Afolabi Jenrola, Gerald Ativie and Kunle Odukoya. They import goods to sell using the banks funds and Ronke approves! Sadly everyone knows what is going on as they carry on with impunity. It is even worse because we all know Ronke is not very intelligent and full of vanity. This is the reason why she will not allow any of them be transferred. The whole of adeola hopewell branch is a fraud. An empty shell and loss making due to this.
Ronke's only purpose of coming to work is the Fx she and Kolade are trading in. She cares less about customers that are terrified to approach her. She is a bad role model to her subordinates and has the title of the chief gossiper of skye bank. If you can gossip you are her friend. She dispenses promotion as favors for the breaking news. She does not show empathy to her staff who all despise her.
She is sadly a regional director and her staff were all forced to raise funds to mark her birthday to the tune of N1.5m. The criminal rich taking from people slaving to earn their salary.
She is so proud. Looks down on her customers and "doesn't do bridges" - meaning she hates going on marketing calls on the mainland
The MD should recognize that if this issues are not taken care of, then the bank will go down as the level of theft going on is crazy. He should set up an investigative team to painstakingly go through all the loans of adeola hopewell. Why can't Ronke be transferred from adeola hopewell branch?
I want you also to investigate if you can because shareholders will never realize their investments if the bank continues to run like this. Buhari should start fighting corruption by punishing bank employees who blatantly abuse the system
That's the comment incase anyone is wondering. Lol #amebonawork
Hahahaha!!!! I assume this was the original post that Mr Gerald replied to.... thank you ooo fellow Amebo... hehehehehehe now I see why this lengthy reply from Oga @tge top.. lol. Oya,, Whistle blower,, over to you and *see you in court when you unmask your Identity* (in Sir Gerald's voice)... kikikikikikikikiki #Gobe. #Gbere.
DeleteYawns. Always make them short. Ain't nobody got time to read this taraja.
DeleteNna na wa oh. On top one person matter? Jealously dey kill faster than oke rie onwuo sha, be guided
DeleteAll these info is too much joor all in the name of clearing your name.
ReplyDeleteYou be thief I no be thief you be rogue I no be rogue you be armed robber I no be armed robber argument argument argument ....................
ReplyDeleteLol. Na una sabi o
Ronke is dating FF jor...pple who don't really know her. would defend her, and she will come under anonymous to defend herself..d poster was right about that branch, there is a cartel, and you can't expect a cartel to probe a cartel.
ReplyDeleteMr Gerald, did u just ask the poster if N6mworth of car is luxury??!*#!
ReplyDeleteAs in I have never held 100 thousand in my 27 years of living. Not to talk of 6million
DeleteS.E
Given how much this guy must earn annually as a banker, a N6m car is NOT a luxury. This is what happens when u open ur personal details to the public. Bad belle people go dey compare apples and oranges.
DeleteAnd yet he can't afford a 350k holiday. Priorities ehn!!!
DeleteJSBunny, it's all about Scarcity, Choice and Opportunity Cost.
DeleteSpeechless.
ReplyDeleteThe real Cartel still dey there o but dem use d innocent ones as scape goat.Godiswatching....Na una sha loose cos we know Gerald is a performer.See u all in court hehehhe
ReplyDeleteCherrie,He asked if its a luxury car cos it was bought through Retail Car Loan abi u no read am sef.lol
ReplyDeletesenseless idiot how wont the epistle be long? do you know what he had to reply too.....foolish goat
ReplyDeleteGerald amu oku.
ReplyDeleteThe GENERAL'S Wife Respect my Princess.
He said is 2014 Honda CRV worth 4m is a luxury car?
ReplyDeleteIt's not oooo,not wen you ve cars worth 30m.
There are cars that are worth more than 30m.
DeleteSeriously pple Mr Gerald asked if the car his wife is using is a luxury car(2014 Honda Crv worth 4m)
Mr. anonymous is time you come out with your facts and face Mr. Gerald, and If you are saying the truth come out from your hiding place and face reality.
ReplyDeleteYou claim to be prudent and charitable,but all your listed "achievements" all came before you HIT it big with a Bank Job,how come you didn't list any recent achievement?it is easy to share your 5k Naira into 2 and give one part to a beggar but can you share your 5million and do same?you shot yourself in the foot by asking if 6million Naira is luxury...That was just so callous and totally wrong.
ReplyDeleteSLAM
Ode. R u working for his salary with him, that he should share half of his hard earned money. Smh
DeleteNever seen a defence so detailed. Wow.
ReplyDeleteMehn, this is like a book but it was worth the read... my people say "ezi aha ka ego" meaning good name is better than money. To the poster (Mr. Gerald)maybe this is your time for another divine accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI had to go read the original comment so as to get a better understanding. All I can say is that there's no smoke without fire.For the anonymous to have written such,that means something of sort is actually happening in that branch of Skye bank.It's a good thing you came out to clear just your name, and didn't generalise,meaning something like that is going on.A proper investigation needs to be carried out.And Mr G,did you just write that #6Milla car is not a luxury? haaaaa,how many people can afford such car in this country? And I take it that the car was bought brand new? Nawa for you o!!!
ReplyDeleteHaba you all are misquoting wat he said, Apparently d Anonymous said his wife's car is a luxury car worth 6m,he now said d car is worth 4m and asked if a 4m car is a luxury car.
DeleteJooo sir,a 2014 Honda Crv is a luxury car,a 4m car is a luxury car,wen some pple are not sure of their next meal.
Hmmmmmmmmm # i must HAMMER 2015#
Wow.. he vex gan, but to take the pains to defend himself... well, let's give him d benefit of doubt
ReplyDelete#book of shadows...#am not God..i dont see in secret....let him be the judge of you two
ReplyDeleteWhat is news about this info sef?
ReplyDeleteSame banking industry, same bullshit. The level at which they debase Womanhood eeh? "My boss is coming in today, I will be at d airport to welcome him." And fiam she goes(married woman o) and never returns till d following morning. All of them. Sleeping with each other like there's no tomorrow.
Who doesn't know how they built d lovely houses allover Lekki. Na today? Corrupt minds. Awon ti won ti gbo bi ile Galilee. Shameless people.
The dirty gist is all over d Island. Let Skye Bank Mgt do something n transfer all of them. Whether guilty or innocent. Enough of d scandal. Even if Mr Gerald is innocent, just go on transfer already. Many are coming to verify and you all got ur name tags on d Bank ID card hanging loose on your necks.
So much for an Internet Scandal.
I can't deal.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
skyeeee bank again na wa ooooo. make una sha treat una staff well na. I heard the the Gerald guy was sacked cos of that scandalous mail.DarisGodoooo.
ReplyDeleteNawaah!
ReplyDeleteI still maintain that bankers are not meant to be left in a paeticular branch for long. They should be a rotational shift from one branch to another. Most of them are thieves on starched shirts.
ReplyDeleteobviously it was investigated and nothing was found on them all, the guy was recently sacked, I am sure he felt the need to address the issues that obviously contributed to his career being stopped., they have also transferred most of the people whose names were mentioned out of the branch.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, did you all just see the luxury car only? But he also said that the car was obtained by a pharmaceutical company on loan from the bank,.,.not like he dished out 6 M to buy car? Besides, everyone knows bankers live on loans, they are even forced to take these loans at times, they are offered credit cards etc...the prudent ones use the loans and invest in other businesses...so what's all the accusations about?
ReplyDeleteLooks like personal grudge to me... Dem sack the anon wey drop the comment, imsure
Ba wa o! The power of the Internet
ReplyDeleteAnybody who says 6million car bought on loan is a luxury for a banker working since 2003 is a complete eediot
ReplyDeleteBut seriously,Why didn't they sack all of them? Why sack others and transfer others?...Just saying
ReplyDelete
