    This caption sounds like the writer desires Diamond bank to go under. What brought the destructive comparison?

      The writer bought diamond bank last week at N0.86, and is currently down over 35%. A bank that is trading at a 5 year low is sinking. How else would one describe it, price wise?

    I didn’t see anything wrong with the caption. The public should be finished with the true picture and state of companies at all times. The media must always report in fairness no matter whose ox is gored.

    In practice, it’s a huge crime for a media to protect and publish or give cosmetic overview, when in actual sense a company is in bad shape.

    We’re are talking about people’s investment very close to their lives, and someone is crying foul about wanting a bank to go down. No doubt you’re a Diamond bank staff, concentrate on rendering quality service to your customers than quarreling with media reports published on the basis of constructive and investigative journalism. Peace.

    I think Olatunde has some substantial shares in Diamond Bank, hence trying to curb the writer from updating the populace before making their decision.

    I will buy when it is 0.5 or lesser.

    Don’t worry Olatunde, I’ll recommence buying when it falls to 50 kobo and below.
