Nigerian banks are in the middle of Twitter war, and it’s not about their activities and services.
A few top banks have been entertaining Nigerians all weekend with swinging jibes on the social media platform.
On Friday, Sterling Bank Plc tweeted a photo in which it tacitly carpeted a few prominent banks without mentioning their names.
The clever tweet generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians.
“Shoot for the moon, become a star – it’s the least you deserve, Welcome to #SterlingBank,” the bank tweeted.
Union Bank, one of the financial institutions ‘trolled’ by Sterling Bank replied with a tweet saying, “Heading to the moon without a spacesuit…journey mercies”.
Two hours later, Union Bank sent out another tweet, the handler apparently not satisfied with the initial post.
First Bank, one of the oldest banks in the country, joined the party by tweeting, “What an elder sees while sitting, a child cannot see even if he travels to the moon, #RespectYourElders #YouFirst.”
While Nigerians were getting excited over the back and forth, Access Bank issued its response to Sterling Bank.
While GTB, the last bank touched by the initial tweet, is yet to weigh in, Nigerians are giving the #BankWars a spin on Twitter.
