Who Lives Better: Income of N1.5M in Nigeria or $1K in the US? 

October 24, 2025
I am introducing a new series in my blog called Financial Match up. Here I will match up companies in the same line of business against each other for you to see who you think did better. I will be using certain metrics which I believe go a long way in showing why one company is doing better than the other.

To kick start this match up is GTB vs Zenith Bank. Both companies have announced their results for 2012 and announced impressive top and bottom lines. However who do you think performed better in terms of returns for shareholders money and why did they do better. Well, see below and be the judge;
