563 million shares traded by mid-day? That’s not market activity; that’s a stampede. The NGX must have been sweating today under the weight of this transaction.

This isn’t just an acquisition; it’s a boardroom ‘shut up’ call. With 8.6 billion shares, you don’t ‘attend’ board meetings, you ‘are’ the board meeting.

If Otedola is buying at N79, it means he sees something we don’t. I was planning to sell my small 2,000 units to pay rent, but let me hold. Follow who know road!

57% YTD return! Why did I listen to my cousin and put money in that ‘sure’ sport betting when I could have just followed the Ote-dollar sign?

NGX should just rename the banking sector index to the ‘Otedola & Co Index’ at this point. He moves the needle more than the inflation rate!

The ‘HoldCo’ name is very fitting because Otedola is definitely ‘Holding’ everything. Who is even left to challenge him in that bank now?

Otedola is the only person who can spend N43 billion and people will say ‘he’s just starting.’ I spent N43,000 yesterday and I’ve been in a bad mood since.

Imagine being the broker who executed that N43.41 billion deal. The commission alone is enough for a quiet retirement in Banana Island.

Wait, so from 8.05 billion to 8.6 billion? That’s a massive jump in voting power. He’s cementing his legacy for the next 50 years.
