@DiabloChaze:

"Regardless of how funny this looks, it’s absolutely appalling to hear they requesting £50,000 just to open an account? That's exploitation, not banking. African financial institutions should empower, not extort, their own people."

@QUEENOFDBLUES1:

"If he can not open the account, he should go and warm Eba and chop abeg."

@naijaconectblog:

"Our grandparents..na inside ground they saved their money that time."

@damola_ade77:

"He made a very valid point, the bank was opened mainly for money laundering. Keyword:- mainly."

@Josef_oti:

"Depends on the account tho! Maybe their talking about premium accoun which is the equivalent of platinum account in Nigeria. It’s banking system in the western world not a GTB thing."
