"My mother was a banker back in the 60s. She worked for the defunct African Continental Bank (ACB). She was the first female bank manager in Nigeria and then my father is a man of foresight, he foresaw everything and arranged the company. The idea of setting up a bank was by my mother who advised my father to start one. That's how Oceanic Bank came up and unfortunately when the bank was to open she passed on. My mother was brilliant, my father is brilliant. I guess I picked up the interest in entertainment from them. The unity of two brains exploded to become what is today known as the Ibru organization" she said
Late Mrs Elsie Ibru died on February 3rd 1990 while Oceanic Bank was incorporated in March 1990 and began operation in July1990.

DeleteAre you sure?? Cos to d best of my knowledge depositors' funds were nt affected in the recent shake-up in the banking industry..I would rather agree with you if, you were talking about your stake in the bank being affected due to the said corruption and declaration of inflated profits of banks.

ReplyDeleteit wasnt sanusi, it was Cecilia Ibru who caused it.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the idea? Before you start giving credit to Cecilia Ibru just know my mum did all the hardwork? Mschewwww.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't add whose idea it was to embezzle all that money??
ReplyDeleteTalk abt d branches they left unopened in wch my uncle's ous was amongst till date they av nt paid d family a dime.#Naija4life
ReplyDeleteThen the greedy Cecilia hijacked it with her naughty children and made a mess of a noble dream. May the soul of your mum, the beautiful Mrs. Elsie Ibru continue to rest in peace.

Eyah, didn't know dat d woman behind d oceanic Bank is no more.
ReplyDeleteLinda today you have got stories targeted at women and I hope ladies read em and feel empowered.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteExcuse pls Wats d news
ReplyDeleteMy dear Linda, I am not sure that I understand the essence of this story. All business ideas and businesses in general have people that conceived or birth the ides. What is the news in this story? Even a pepper seller next door conceived the pepper selling idea before he/she starts the business.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...the mention of that Bank actually makes me think 'Ibru' - thanks to Cecelia.
ReplyDeleteI guess she is trying to tell us that Cecilia Ibru was not part of the initial start up of the Bank.
ReplyDeleteRily miss Oceanic Bank. The best place av worked so far. Working in other financial institutions(Bank) has been a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteYou are a big liar to say Oceanic swallowed your money. There wasn't a time such thing happened. I worked with that Bank. What happened was Sanusi witch hunted and forcely took it away from that family. No customer ever lost their money in Oceanic Bank. God Bless the Ibru family for that bank. We prayer that something be done to retrieve bank our household named Bank. Oh Oceanic Bank Experience Peace. The Northerner were scared of that bank and its rapid growth. N. . K
ReplyDeleteUr english no bi here o..abeg hw u tke wrk 4 bank na
DeleteLeave that story that woman stole 500million from that bank, so what is witch hunt there
DeleteEverybody knows dtCecelia Ibru stole people's money so shut up if u dnt hv anythg good to say
DeleteLol umunas de English tire me sef
DeleteOmg! When wl news like ds end? Smh
ReplyDeleteShe has overtly told us Mrs Cecilia stole her Mother's idea.
ReplyDeleteThe disdain will never stop.
Let go. Power has changed hands now.
Wow! How wicked can u be, pouring insults on a dead person. Some ppl sha, *smh*. DacDuchess!
ReplyDeleteWetin u say e be ur name again?....with ur mama thick kponmor p***y lips......EOD
DeleteOk ayaff hear...nw can I marry any gal 4rm their family???.... By @successralu
ReplyDeleteI am concerned that people really think Oceanic's demise was the result of a witch hunt. Get educated, people! If CBN had not intervened, there would have been thousands of people crying all over the place due to lost funds. Blame nobody but Cecilia.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul continue to rest in peace
ReplyDeleteGood to hear this.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:12...u r a fool for insultin d dead who knew nuttn abt ur break ass money,get a life fool,put up ur email or real name lemme insult u...
ReplyDeleteHer mum is not Cecilia......so stop insulting her desk mum. Cecilia wrecked Oceanic bank due to greed and unbanking practice. She destroyed a great family name
ReplyDeleteSanusi killed both Oceanic and Intercontinental bank due to jealousy. Six months prior to Sanusi's appointment, there had been a plan by the North to take over the 5 big banks-See Vanguard March 2009. Sanusi was appointed to do the hatchet job.The conception by Elvina's mother could have been true but Cecilia brought the bank back from the doldrums.However, she allowed her successes to get into her and She became too extravagant and brutal.
ReplyDeleteMay she continue to rest well.
ReplyDeleteWe don hear may her soul rest in peace
