So I stumbled upon a recent social media post by a very close friend, talking about how – only a hand full of Nigerian banks are delving fast into the lifestyle market. What really struck me was the cover story attached to this post.
I am so happy that my dear friend Dare Bond Aiyegbusi @godofcontent has assumed a family role with UBA as MD of its in-house Agency. I have seen him rise from zero to one hundred in a flash that still beats my imagination.
I had to post this when I heard @Tonyelumelu make jokes about Bonds hair at his birthday celebration a few days ago.
Yes a few of you might know a lot about him but I will tell you things you probably don’t know.
- Dare Bond has never lost a business pitch and he constantly says ‘I can never lose a business pitch…I prepare with the end in mind, I win’
-
Asides being a marketing executive, Dare Bond is a Spoken word Artist. He very humble in character so hardly broadcasts his Art. He would say ‘Art is a gift from the creator….and should be used to spread positive energy’….yes he talks crazy like that’
-
Dare Bond is a martial Artist. He is trained in Shotakan Karate and has quite a fighting spirit. This speaks to his reality. He is a problem solver.
-
Dare Bond never gives up. He gets stronger with fail. This freaks me out…but I guess thats why he grows so fast.
-
Dare Bond has a very proud outlook but when engaged, happens to be the most loving person ever. Anyone who can doubt this, You have not interacted with him before.
-
Dare Bond has worked with Many Nigerian billionaires and private sector owners in varying capacities. When I saw photos and productions of him with Femi Otedola, Jim Ovia, Herbert Wigwe, Olusegun Obasanjo, the Dangote family and the likes of the ‘A’s’, I knew Bond was a mission for growth.
-
Dare Bond is a Film Producer. He started his early hustle as a writer, then a camera man, an editor, then a producer. He has worked with several media houses in varying capacities. He is quite popular on the TV and Media back end.
-
Dare Bond managed a string of companies between Nigeria and Europe when he was only 22.

Bond, I Think you and UBA are perfect together. You spoke about working with UBA years ago and now you’re in the upper circle. I remember when you would just create random banking strategy years ago… you would then start writing on you room walls….like a crazy person.
[I thought you were crazy…now I know you are absolutely insane]
Congratulations on you new role as Head of the UBA marketing communications Agency and thank you @ubagroup for opening your minds to a weird unconventional genius like this. We heard the CEO Kennedy Uzoka – K.U is making some ‘out of the box’ chess moves. This is a lifestyle move of life. You people will see ‘LIVE FIRE’. Other banks- please be scared.’
Congrats Bond, more blessings and more successes. See pictures below:
