After Jim Ovia’s story of starting Zenith Bank with ₦20 million in 1990 and growing it into a multi-billion-dollar institution, conversations online ranged from admiration to curiosity about the source of his initial capital. Sadly, some chose to ignore the business discussion and instead mock his appearance, with comments like “He nose how to do business very well.” This kind of ridicule shifts attention from relevant topics—such as entrepreneurship, opportunity, and transparency—to childish wordplay on someone’s physical features. Productive conversations should focus on facts and ideas, not personal attacks that add no value to the discourse.
