The event with the theme Black & Diamonds was spurred out of the need to celebrate Diamond Bank' s outstanding performance this year and members of staff who had put in a minimum of 10 years in the service of the Bank. Continue....
Anchored by leading comedian Bovi, the audience was taken through a delightful event as they enjoyed the best of choice wines and cuisine even as Bovi ensured that the guests, made up of Diamond Bank staff, their spouses and customers, were in stitches as he dished out rib cracking jokes continuously.
Highlights of the party included the long service awards where various members of staff who had put in 10 and 20 years in the employ of the Bank, were presented with their awards by the Bank’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Dr. Alex Otti. Dr. Otti commended the awards recipients for their service and loyalty to the Diamond brand and wished them many more fruitful years in their banking careers.
The Black & Diamonds party was not devoid of the usual hitches associated with events of this magnitude. Olamide stepped on stage to deliver what would be described as a disappointing performance which came across as unprepared and unrehearsed. Hip-hop sensation Davido, helped to salvage the situation however by dishing out various songs from his rich repertoire, crowning it with his recent street anthem, Skelewu.
Innocent ‘Tuface’ Idibia brought the event to magnificent climax at around 1am, when he mounted the stage and dished out hit track after hit track to the admiration of the guests. As at 3am when this reporter left Landmark Event Centre, Oniru the crowd was still dancing to various club tracks delivered by the DJ.
Although several bank’s hosted their end-of-year parties at the same time, I am more than convinced that Diamond Bank’s was the “rockest” of them all.

ReplyDeleteJust passing....
ReplyDeleteThe way people lower themselves for a paltry sum of £400 that I get as my allowance for a week is absolutely disgusting. I'm tired of reading pathetic stories about how poor you are. Get a darn job and stop depending on others for money. PJ
ReplyDeleteI don't like beggars too, but since they've stooped so low to beg,prince jobless in ur self acclaimed mightiness u can as well help rather than hype.
Delete*flourish
Paltry sum u called 400 pounds.U need to see the way I was begging for the money even though I live in London. It's is paltry if u re working but for someone out of job like me it was a big deal. Pls I wouldn't mind it as a gift since we re in UK together. No string attached sha o. Wellingdanisha@yahoo.com.
DeleteI am 200% sure this is copy n paste. Not linda's language at all.
