Commenting on the bank's ranking in Africa, CEO Tanoh said 'This award confirms that the banking group remains a landmark for African businesses and individuals.'
According to en.africatime.com report lately, an official of the Bank, spoke about this turbulent condition and requested anonymity. This official told PANA that 'the Nigerians are orchestrating a move to divert public attention from debate and implementation of audit results at KPMG cabinet that was commissioned by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and hardly cleared all the former members of management board, including the former President of the Governing Council, Kolapo Lawson and his Nigerian compatriot, the former CEO, Arnold Ekpe.

welcome back President Alassane Ouattara after a month of medical treatment in France
After so many speculations on the health status of president Alassane Ouattara since admitted to a France based hospital, his returned home was well appreciated with warm welcome by many supporters.
Supporters flooded the streets of Ivory Coast's commercial capital, Abidjan, Sunday to welcome back President Alassane Ouattara after a month of medical treatment in France.
Although he walked across the airport tarmac with the help of a cane, he otherwise showed little sign of his recent illness.
Ouattara, who came to power in 2011, underwent a successful operation to alleviate pain caused by sciatica.
The atmosphere was very welcoming as thousands of supporters, beating drums or holding signs of welcome, linedup long route from the airport to the president's residence.
Since claiming power, Ouattara is admired by his international partners for fostering an economic renaissance in French-speaking West Africa's largest economy.
Welcome back President Alassane Ouattara...but if your physical competence is put to question by your health, I suggest you step down in peace as the president of Ivory Coast.

Happy Birthday Chelsea’s Samuel Eto’o
Happy [INSERT WHATEVER AMOUNT OF YEARS HE'S BEEN ACTUALLY ALIVE] to the ex-Inter, ex-Anzhi, ex-Barça, ex-Mallorca, ex-Real Madrid and now current Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o.
Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o’s turns a year older today, 33 to be precise.
The Cameroonian’s ‘old-man’ goal celebration against Tottenham Hotspur during their English Premier League match on Saturday could be a reminder of his big day or a taunt to manager Jose Mourinho. We will never know the intention behind it.
But what we do know is that the four-time African Player of the Year is as classy as they come. With records galore against his name, he is one of the most recognized footballers to come out of Europe.
Cheers to you papa Eto'o

Genevieve's fashion sense at the AMVCA 2014
Genevieve, I must say this is gorgeous and splendit as ever for the 2014 AMVCA. Lots of fashion art to her dress. Last year was a disaster with the white dress showing off her chest. It is nice observing she took on board all criticsms made at the time.
This year, she looks like a star, but most of all like an African star embedding all core values.
She is conservative, sexy, fresh and young. This dress is "season", "time", "event" and "age" appropriate. Thumps up to her for being empowering with fashion art.

As a result of falsification stories, Eto poses like an old man making fun of the rediculous reports
Seconds after scoring a goal against Spurs at yesterday's match, the Chelsea footballer Samuel Eto'o chaired the goal by posing as an old man, his cleaver way of making fun of the reports that claims he may be closer to 40 years old this is according to Linda Ijeki; she seem to have more info on this. This story began with his coach Jose Mourinho who said he believes the Cameroonian striker is 35 and not 32 (not very sure of this statement but I am sure of that below about the pose) which states:
"I didn’t suggest the celebration but I knew about it. We thought it was good because the best way to defuse the situation is to make fun of it." Jose Mourinho said of the pose''
Well this is for all the bad reports out there, wherther he is 40 or 50, he has clearly shown he is made of steel on grass, and please dont you dare Cameroonians ever again by saying such.
