My Story
I had a very thriving career as a banker and was a Branch Manager with Guaranty Trust Bank. In late 2007, a friend of mine told me BGL Securities Limited needed experienced Branch Managers because they were expanding and that’s how I started my journey into investment banking. Life was good and I was earning well. In 2008, I saw a good opportunity to invest in the Capital market which I took with open arms. I took some loans to add to the cash I already had and invested tens of millions but unfortunately for me the market went south shortly after I invested.
I decided not to panic but saw my investment gradually become eroded. Meanwhile the loan I took was at 13% per annum and the bank soon wrote to increase it to 15% and then 17%. After that they stopped writing and the interest rate eventually became 21% per annum plus quarterly management fee of 2%. To add salt to injury, my salary was reduced by 35% because of the harsh realities of the industry.
