Somebody please explain what is going on with the banks to me,am a novist

Erastus Akingbola, Cecilia Ibru and the rest three, all Managing Directors(or whatever name its called) of prominent Nigerian banks, forced out of office by the CBN.

The issue now is that I am not that literate as per  banking stuff cos am a Surveyor, and in trying to find the real reason behind all these I am coming across things like marginal loans, non-performing loans and stuffs like that.
Would somebody please  be kind enough to explain from a knowledgeable angle but in lay man language,what the exact issue is with these banks?
The first hint I got of the news was that these banks were folding up, and then the CBN comes on air to re assure  Nigerians and to say it was putting in N100bn each into Intercontinental and Oceanic.

hhhahahahahaha.....Not just naija!

No country in the world ever understands banking language, its understood only by core bankers!
Even here, each time they wanna cheat you or increase your mortgage, they start telling you something and using  words like percentage spread, tantum and a hell lots or latins!!!
