Despite it's kinetic connotation, power is EXTREMELY stagnant. It's wield by the same small group of people over extended periods of time.

The CEO of 2002 is back as the Chairman of 2024.

The same thing is obtainable in politics and everywhere power is brokered. Same people control it.

The idea, of course, is that these people are MORE competent because of their experience. Nonsense!

There are ALWAYS people more competent than those who wield power. But the wielders of power hold it CAPTIVE. Never letting go. Turning the very force of nature into something stagnant to be used for their sole benefit.

Anyway, congratulations to him. But they should try to bring new people in. Stop trying to recapture the glory of days long gone.

Leadership beckons on him once again.

The good thing is that it's not like he left like that, he was just officially no longer at the forefront. The Access Group is lucky to have him. Adieu Wigwe. Your legacy lives on.

It's actually not bad if you did well in a position, and after some years you are being beckoned on to take the leadership mantle again.

If it's your own company, would you have chosen a rookie over an experience person with a record of success to oversee a sensitive position like that?

Congrats to him

That was what I thought too
I was like, is there no younger visionary person that can be promoted to that position?

That pics is AI

I thought they Say his partial blind

I thought they Say his partial blind

You dey believe all those nonsense whatsapp messages that they fraudulently bought thebbank from the original owners who are ijesha people

And that karma is now catching up with them.

Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede isn't blind, we all saw him on TV at his friend's funeral. Does that look like someone who is blind or partially blind?

In this life if you lose guard or mismanagement your business and another person buys it over that's the end, no karma will hunt him.

Well scripted

In a twinkle of an eye, he has been replaced.

Note to take: enjoy and live a happy life cos once you’re gone, you’ll be replaced asap

Jesus Christ is the way Truth and the Life.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. John 3:19-21

Power must change hands

Congratulations Sir

Nice one

He is the best person to take over. He is the founder together with wigwe.

Getting and holding unto power is fierce. Reason why it is rotated within a small circle to checkmate the outsiders.

He's back to plan proper succession and midwife the next set of leaders.

Ok. GOOD

That was the plan

Reminds me of Bayern recalling Jupp to help bail out the team on two occasions... Same with Chelsea and Guus.

Maybe Fergie001 and Ray07 people should have forced Sir. Ferguson out of retirement to bail their club out.

Hmmmm

Herbert...

Hmmmm

Kingcalls:
That was the plan

What plan? Can u tell me the reason behind this?

Good God. I hope Chief Herbert's death wasn't scripted.

It is well.
May his time bring better things and may we not witness bad again in the holding.

Is anonymous right?

One of the most useless banks I have ever used. Always looking for what to deduct.
