Atedo Peterside: You have Done Well

As I was looking for what to write, I stumbled on the news announcing the retirement from the Board of Stanbic IBTC of this very versatile gentleman, Atedo Peterside. Although in his entire glorious career, he never had the fortune of working with me, I believe that he still had the opportunity of learning a thing or two from me via discussions I regularly had with him in my dreams. As an investment banker, Mr. Peterside had, along with the late Gamaliel Onosode and my lord Otunba Subomi Balogun formed the holy triumvirate I swore by. Of the three, only Otunba took pity on me to employ me. Atedo’s IBTC failed me three times with some funny entry tests I simply could not pass. In fact, at the last test, I literally knelt down and begged the lady administering it that ‘please, I no fit pass, but I Sabi the work, help me’. They kicked me out. I will not hold that against Mr. Peterside for he has done enough within the space and indeed within the general economy to retain my respect. As you go into a well-deserved retirement, I wish you well and a new chieftaincy title when next you are in Shomolu. The title comes with a virgin which is not compulsory you take. I can assist you with that. Congrats sir.
