First Bank of Nigeria Limited, One of Nigeria’s top financial institutions,
has reacted to the recent trend of animal
swallowing public funds in Nigeria. The reportage of snake swallowing
N36m at a JAMB Office and a monkey eating another N70m instead of Banana
took a viral dimension with Nigerians extending it to almost every
aspect of national and personal lives.
A twitter user with the handle, @officialrohkip had tweeted thus:
“With
the way animals swallow money now, I will have to close my
@FirstBankngr account. I don’t trust that elephant on their logo….”.
Acknowledging
the power of the social media and the probable impacts that may have on
its customer base, the bank addressed the issue in a separate tweet
saying:
“The Elephant on our logo represents trust, integrity,
dependability, and loyalty. Let your First Bank account remain open. We
are your trusted ally. #Stillstanding #Stilldependable #YouFirst .
Unlike
the snake and monkey alleged to have swallowed money, First Bank
restated that the elephant on its logo does not swallow customers’
deposits.
