Nigerian rapper Skales has called GTBank the worst bank in Nigeria during the VeryDarkMan controversy.
He made this claim in a post on X (formerly Twitter) amid the ongoing issues involving the EFCC, GTBank, and influencer VeryDarkMan.
Skales’ comments followed reports of VeryDarkMan’s arrest at a GTBank location due to an alleged delay, which upset his fans.
In his post, Skales recounted how GTBank often made unauthorized deductions from his late mother’s salary account, leading him to reimburse her and persuade her not to take action.
He also accused the bank of mismanaging 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.”
His post has since sparked widespread reactions, with many users taking to the comments section to share similar complaints and experiences.
See some reactions below:
@BDraugur: “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: “Waseere speak up. @ZenithBank also na one useless bank. After the death of my father this people removed money from. His account after we try withdrawing money.”
@accurateoficial: “So why are you just speaking now ?”
@__CD2: “I opened a GT bank few weeks ago, thank God I’ve not started using it.”
@MattMax01: “same happened to mine too, I was the one that even accompanied her to go open it back then. My mom shot down the account later lol.”
@everytin_bec: “How can you say do not bank with @gtbank, you can only say what happened with your moms account but not saying do not bank. You forget you are a brand ?”
