Jim Ovia shared how he started Zenith Bank in 1990 with ₦20 million—worth about \$5 million at the time—and how, 20 years later, the bank’s value grew to over \$4 billion. Many praised his vision and business acumen, while others questioned how he was able to access such a large sum in 1990.
Amid the praise and curiosity, some resorted to petty ridicule, like the comment “Very smart man. He nose tomorrow,” mocking his physical appearance. Such remarks derail meaningful discussion about entrepreneurship and transparency, replacing constructive debate with shallow body-shaming that contributes nothing to the real conversation.
