Every year, Herbert Wigwe a prounitate had this culture that he did not miss.

He was a big fan of the Super Bowl, the biggest sport ritual in America and so he clears his table to travel to California to watch a sport that helps him relax and rejuvenate and which he considers one of his guilty pleasures.

Let me digress.

In 2002, the late Herbert and his partner, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, had a dream.

To own a bank of their own...

At that time, they were working for Guaranty Trust Bank as executive directors.

However, the boardroom politics of GTB were so intense and toxic that they knew they had to exit and do their own thing.

So they incubated and hatched a dream to buy a bank of their own.

Even when they did not have the resources to buy a bank, they were not discouraged; rather, they started looking for investors who could invest in their dream.

One of the investors they met who eventually bought into their dream was Cosmas Maduka of Coschsris Motors.

With enough money in the bank, backed by solid dye in the wood investors, the Access Bank project was launched by these two ambiguous young men who were in their 30's.

AIG was 36.

Wigwe was 35, but his young age did not stop him from dreaming big and dreaming what was possible.

Their age at that time eventually became an albatross, an Achilles hill, as the CBN staff told them to their faces that they were too young to own a bank, and rightly so.

But they were unwavering and never allowed the pessimism of the CBN staff to discourage them.

Access Bank—at the time, the 65th largest of the 89 banks in the country—was a small bank before AIG and Herbert took over in 2022.

AIG was the CEO of the bank when they started before handing it over to Herbert in 2013, who took over from where he stopped and then turned Access Bank into the monstrous beast that it is today.

Access Bank was not this big when Herbert took over.

That a small bank in 2002 is today the biggest bank in Nigeria by assets is a testament to Herbert’s drive and the kind of business leader he was.

A transformational business leader in every aspect...

He dared to dream and showed the world through his story and examples that nothing is too daring or too big to attempt if you believe in yourself.

But beyond this, he was an impactful leader who pushed everyone around him to be a better version of themselves.

Bold, daring, and full of wisdom.

He believes everything is possible, and he has pushed himself to be an example of that possibility.

And he empowered a lot of young people.

Both those who worked directly with him as subordinates and strangers who did not know.

Editi Effiong, the CEO of Anakle, a digital marketing agency in Lagos, once shared a story of how Herbert gave him his biggest break.

Herbert saw a viral app on Twitter, the Bride Price app, built by Editi and team.

Herbert was impressed by the vision and innovation that went into the development of the Bride Price app, invited Editi and her team, and then handed over Access Bank’s social media accounts for Editi and his team to manage with a hefty monthly retainer.

He went beyond Management of Access bank’s social media.

Most of the Access Bank TV ads shown on CNN were done by Editi and his team because Herbert believed he could do it.

This genorisidy changed Editi’s life into the big man he is today.

And that is Herbert for you.

Who he was... A man who took a bet on himself and other people to scale, evolve, and do big things.

A man whose imagination changed his life.

He loved his wife so much, and it is ironic that they died together, entwined in each other's arms.

I thought briefly when the news of his passing went through his mind, when it dawned on him that this was the final moment on earth.

Was it a painful transition for him?

So sad that what he enjoyed doing most, his guilty pleasure, took his life on his way to watch Super Bowl, but we are consoled that Herbert is in a better place, and the businesses he built, which include Access Bank and Wigwe University, will speak eloquently of his legacies in years to come.

May his soul rest in peace.

This is Christiana Igba and her Mom

Christiana waited for 10 years with her husband looking for the fruit of the womb before God blessed them with one in December of 2023.
Her elated mom then went for omugwo in Abuja.

However two weeks back kidnappers entered the home of Mr and Mrs Igba, kidnapped Christiana, her Mom and the baby while asking Mr Simon Igba, the husband for a N 90 million ransom which he couldn't afford.

After bargaining with the kidnappers last week Wednesday the ransom was reduced to N 10 million.

While looking for the N 10 million, the baby fell sick at the kidnappers den, they gave the baby to another victim who was released to take to the hospital and contacted Simon Igba to get in touch with the woman which he did and got the baby out of the hospital.

Unfortunately the kidnappers have killed his wife, Christiana and her mother dumping their bodies in the bush.

Our reality now as Nigerians.

COAS COMMISERATES WITH LATE GENERAL KALE's FAMILY... Says it is a great loss to Nigerian Army, Military

The Nigerian Army has received with heavy heart, but in absolute submission to the divine will of Almighty God, the news of the passing to glory of Major General Aderonke Kale rtd CFR mni, on Wednesday 8 November 2023. The shining Veteran of the Nigerian Army exuded unequalled commitment, diligence and unquestionable loyalty which paved the way, as she steadily rose through the ranks to become the first female officer of the Nigerian Army to attain the enviable height of Major General.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, while expressing his commiserations on behalf of Officers, Soldiers and Civilian staff of the Nigerian Army, to the family, relations and friends of the deceased Senior Officer, described her demise as a great loss to the Nigerian Army and the military community as a whole. He added, that her legacies in the selfless service to Nigeria and humanity will remain indelible in the hearts of many. Gen Lagbaja prayed for the repose of her soul and the fortitude for the family to bear the irreplaceable loss.

General Aderonke Kale, renowned for reshaping the face of women and gender mainstreaming in the Nigerian military, was born into a family of professionals, her father was a pharmacist, and her mother a teacher. She has her primary education in Lagos and Zaria, and had her post primary education in St. Anne’s School, Ibadan and Abeokuta Grammar School respectively. She opted to study Medicine and successfully gained admission into the University College, which later became University of Ibadan. After her graduation as a medical doctor, she proceeded to the University of London to specialize in Psychiatry.

General Kale worked briefly in Britain and returned to Nigeria in the year 1971 to join the Nigerian Army in 1972. Her competence as a psychiatrist was recognized in 1973, when she qualified as a Consultant Psychiatrist and in 1982 she became Chief Consultant. In the course of her service from 1980 to 1985 her management acumen came to bear in her career, when she became the Commanding Officer of the Military Hospital Ibadan. She thus had the distinction of being the first woman to command a military hospital in Nigeria. In 1985 to 1987, she performed the same feat in the Military Hospital, Enugu, and from 1989 to 1990 in the Military Hospital, Benin. With such vital experience, she was elevated to the position of Deputy Commandant, Nigerian Army Medical Corps and School in 1991 till 1994.

In 1994, she became the first female officer to be promoted to the rank of Major General in the Nigerian Army and the West African subregion. She finally attained the peak of her career, when she became the Commandant of the Nigerian Army Medical Corps. First time in the history of the Nigerian Army, that a female officer was entrusted with the crucial responsibility of health care for all Nigerian Army personnel and their families.

Ibrahim Momoh was first arrested on 27th November, 2014 with cannabis sativa weighing 385.1kgs, prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison on 22nd July 2015 but while serving his jail term at Kuje, he escaped from prison custody on 16th May, 2016.
