First Bank of Nigeria has apologised to its Twitter followers after the bank posted series of tweets that appeared to be mocking Thursday’s visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Lagos.


 The president’s two-day official visit to the state disrupted traffic and caused residents to embark on long walk to their destinations.

 “Lagosians how far…. How was the trek this morning? The people still trekking, how’s the #WalkOfChange going,” the bank tweeted around 11:18 am on Thursday from its Twitter handle @FirstBankngr.

 When a Twitter user (@Jenn_nikolas) tweeted at the bank that its tweet was “terrible to look at”
The bank offered a sarcastic response, “Don’t look. Keep trekking”.

 Another Twitter user (@omookwah) told FirstBank, “This is an epic fail in attempt to ‘hijack’ an issue. You lost the ‘emotional’ drift to this and got caught on the wrong side of story. Always remember…. Market share and mind share.”

 “Story,” the bank responded. FirstBank later pulled back after its tweets attracted barrage of criticisms.

“Dear Twitter Family. A tweet from us earlier in the day was totally inappropriate. As a responsible organization, we do not support or share humor taken too far. And that is what this was; humor taken too far. We take it back and apologize unreservedly,” the bank tweeted around 2:14 pm.

Chronicles Of Life "A This Generation Point Of View" by Vosedegea This book is not all about what we are used to, neither does it have all the grammatical expression to explain everything in a professional manner, but it does have a view that is different from others, which is the youth or as elderly folks would say; "it's the children of this generation view". This term children of this generation is used by our elders but not always on the positive, but on a negative term, whenever something wrong occurs we hear "children of this generation " as this name or stereotype implies we own this generation so it's high time we let it sink in and act like it. There are different areas of life, this book will address and give a "this generation point of view", it will make you laugh, maybe cry, but i'm sure of one thing its going to bring back memories and help you know where and when in life you missed i...
