A gale of funny and not-so-funny reactions have trailed the acquisition of Diamond Bank by Access Bank.
The process to the acquisition was reported to have started last week after Diamond Bank announced its decision to drop its international operating licence to focus on national operations following capitalisation issues.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is expected to officially announce the acquisition during the course of the week.
However, some Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the news.

BREAKING: While a potential Access Bank acquisition/merger with Diamond Bank could still lead to the resignation of Uzoma Dozie, Nairametrics understands the Dozies will keep a significant portion of their shareholding of the bank giving them a seat on the board of the bank.

Heard Diamond Bank has been swallowing people's money lately, guess it is high time for an acquisition but never trust a bank exec wearing tees and jeans😁 hopefully Access Bank will continue their support for tech comnunity.
