Nigeria’s banking sector is once again under public scrutiny, as popular TikTok influencer and financial commentator, Don Aza, has taken to the Voice of the Masses (VDM) platform to expose what he describes as “a dangerous trend” brewing within Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank).
In a no-holds-barred video that has since gone viral, Don Aza declared:
“GTBank is not safe for the future of Nigeria. The signs are there, and we can’t keep ignoring them.”
He accused the bank of silently failing the everyday Nigerian, citing poor customer service, frozen accounts without warning, unexplained debits, and a lack of transparency in handling user complaints all of which he says are becoming “normalized” by GTBank.
“How can a bank that Nigerians rely on for daily survival treat people like this?” he asked. “You wake up and your money is gone. You complain and they act like you’re disturbing them. This is not banking it’s economic abuse.”
His analysis on VDM pointed to a growing trend of dissatisfaction with Nigeria’s major financial institutions, with GTBank repeatedly being called out by users on social media platforms for unresolved issues and suspicious transactions.
Don Aza also warned young Nigerians and digital entrepreneurs, who rely on GTBank for business transactions, to “stay alert and seek alternatives before it’s too late.”
The statement has triggered a wave of reactions online:
• “GTBank is moving like they’re untouchable but people are suffering.”
• “It’s time the CBN stepped in. This is not normal anymore.”
• “Don Aza said the truth. We need reform in the banking system.”
At the time of this report, GTBank has not issued a response to the allegations or the growing public backlash.
But the message is loud and clear:
