VDM vs. GTBank: Skales Labels Bank As The Most Horrible Bank In Nigeria

At the height of the VeryDarkMan controversy, Nigerian musician Skales referred to GTBank as the country’s worst bank.

In light of the ongoing problems surrounding the EFCC, GTBank, and influencer VeryDarkMan, he made this assertion in a post on X (previously Twitter).

Skales’ remarks came after his supporters were displeased with VeryDarkMan’s arrest at a GTBank store for allegedly causing a wait.

In his post, Skales described how his late mother’s salary account was frequently debited by GTBank without authorisation, prompting him to reimburse her and convince her not to take action.

Additionally, he said that the bank mishandled her account until she retired.

He wrote:

“GTB @gtbank is a horrible bank… the worst bank in Nigeria. I wish my late mom was alive to tell you what they did to her salary… how her money was lost, and I had to beg her by compensating her because she wouldn’t quit her job until she retired… do not bank with GTBank.”

“I firmly believe they’ve retired from banking. I started banking with them in 2006. Unfortunately, that relationship is coming to an end. It was fun while it lasted, just a huge shame how they fell off.”

@plato_vince:
“My account still reads minus till date because I woke up one morning to a debit alert of 300k from my account. After all back and forth, they keep insisting I bought something online. When they realised that wasn’t working, the lady said it was a delayed debit. Debit by who??”

@samuelfinder:
