It started with a tweet from Sterling Bank, not-so-subtly shading 4 others: Union Bank, First Bank, GT Bank and Access Bank.
It was a very simple tweet, the bank writing: “Shoot for the moon, become a star – it’s the least you deserve. Welcome to #SterlingBank 
”
The image attached to the tweet, however, had all the shade.

They clearly touched a nerve, with the other banks coming for them, hard.
Access Bank was savage, writing:
“We will travel on an imaginary rocket too, if we were a one-customer Microfinance Bank; but with ten million customers and counting, we rather bring the galaxy to you!
#YouAreWorthIt#TakeTomorrow#KnowYourElders”

Union Bank seemed even more upset, coming for Sterling again, again, and again.
