Jimmy Boy: This banking na bulshit walahi.

Ivynwa: Did the dead bankers wait to die before they quit the bank job? I didn't! I got plenty of that pressure and heaving down on one to go get millions for fr*aking Nigerian banks, I abandoned them and their freaking job in time enough. Morning meeting in the banks can as well be renamed pressure/hypertension/abuse meeting because those are what you will be getting during the meeting. It doesn't stop there too, some fr*aking rich bank customers will be wanting to use the trap the bank set for you in the name of target to take you to bed.

One of the best customers the branch of the bank that I worked in had then stopped running his account because I refused to sleep with him and what will you get from your manager when such stops bringing in the millions for them? Pressure,insults, threats! It does not matter to them if the customers are giving you s*xual harrassment, to them you better sleep with these customers and bring them the millions that they need. I quit in time enough and that is one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.

chillbabe: 7 Access Bank Marketing staff dies of Hypertension in weeks

August 24th, 2012 by newsacross

We should see in every prostitute an accusing finger pointing firmly at society as a whole. Every love-vendor, every partner in prostitution, turns the knife in this festering and gaping wound that disfigures the world. In desperate bid to increase its capital base, Access Bank, like love-vendor, has resorted to numerous unethical practices. In desperate bid to remain in business, set unrealistic targets for their female staff insisting that they either live up to expectations or lose their jobs.

A huge number of female bankers have either lost their jobs due to non-compliance or kept the jobs by embracing what has now been tagged ‘corporate prostitution.’ While some of them have died of heart-attack. Access Bank, we hear, has even gone a step further by buying official cars for some of the ladies who go about in skimpy revealing dresses to seduce high net-worth ‘customers’ to make deposits. This ‘trade’ has been so mastered by some ladies that they don’t have to fix a date or a venue for the exploitation, as they have ‘ready-made package’ for randy depositors who wish to explore the spontaneity aspect of the business.

Aig Imoukhuede led bank has literally turned the female bankers to prostitutes and they make no pretence about it. Those who could not stand the heat are always advised to get of the system and look for jobs elsewhere.

Sadly, however, one of the female marketers, Solabomi Olugbemi of Retail Business Unit at Simbiat Abiola branch of Access Bank, died early this morning. She had being on admission for over two weeks. Her Friends and co-workers who visited her said she confided in them that she had being under a lot of stress because of Deposit Mobilization mandate (OJC) Operation. Just because the Divisional Director gave them an ear-pulling warning early this year to raise cheap funds for the bank on N1 trillion in 6months. Solabomi lost her life because of bad accounts she inherited from a product called Auto-online (Car Loan) coupled with the incident of one of her customers withdrawing 200million naira from his account which threw her balance sheet to negative.

We also gathered from an insider in the bank that Solabomi collapsed on the last day of OJC target deadline because she was unable to maintain a huge demand deposit balance. She was immediately rushed to Jolade hospital in Gbagada, Lagos but she was later taken to Military hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos where she was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Young and jovial Solabomi (29 years old) who was married with 3 little children and a lovely husband died early this morning. Sources also confirmed that over 60% of access Bank staff are highly hypertensive and run the risk of heart attacks in their young age.

The funny thing is that some of the most guilty Executive Management staff are those that have worked overseas (in Europe and America) and know you can NEVER treat a staff (not even some illegal job seeker) in this manner and get away with it.
They enjoyed being treated as a human-being, with dignity and respect, yet they treat fellow citizens/employees in Nigeria, like animals!

*The government must take serious action against these employers who treat their staff like slaves.
*Labor laws must be rigorously enforced for all (employer and employees)
*The Labor court must make itself more accessible to aggrieved employees (through publicity/enlightenment on employee rights and duties)
*The labor court/arbitration body must act and determine labor disputes swiftly and decisively.
Government needs to seriously address a situation where a few "executives" steal and rape a company into "financial distress", only for the lower cadre staff to suffer and pay the price. Such Management Executives needs to face the full weigh of the law under 'financial crimes'.


Any H.R worth his or her salt should know that your "employees are your greatest asset" and their well-being is the company's well-being.

buJu-234:
i think its high time Nigerians workers/graduates esp. those working in banks right now...

YOU CAN BECOME A SELF MADE MILLIONAIRES WITHOUT WORKING IN THE BANKING SECTION or IN OTHER JOBS THAT ARE LIKE HELL...

all wht you need to do its jst b smart.

Nigeria is a blessed country; blessed with not Natural resource but with A YOUNG VIBRATE BUYING POPULATION but her people dont knw. learn to make ur millions 4rm Nigeria and groove it outside Nigeria.

Simplest thing is this:-

JUST SELL 1million pdts and make 100 naira each ... u re made 4 life in Nigeria
or sell 100,000 pdts and make 1,000 naira each..
better still 10,million pdts and make 10 naira each.


but the greatest problem of Nigerians; is that Nigerians hardly sit down; think and design a product (pdt) or services that can draw people to
come and buy...

all what most Nigerians do is copy copy copy other peoples pdts or businesses...

THIS IS WHY U SEE MASS UNEMPLOYMENT; and the bank MDs knw these stuff....

sissa: Dis coutry is 2 bad,if nt because of dere no job in dis coutry bank is nt a gud job.May God av marcy us,so dat wil cearate more job wit marcy 4 our youth or uncoming leader.

ocelot2006:

Yes it's extremely dangerous. That's why it's called the silent killer.

Thank you for the compliment, the pleasure is mine.
I hope we can all come together and put pressure where it is needed otherwise (legislative arm of government), "working environment" is just going to get worse.

berem: whaaat! Did I just read your comment? What makes it a fact? Did you actually conduct a survey to come to your conclusion? This is serious!

mapet: If the writers of this rubbish have decided to be irresponsible and infantile, let's not gratify thier stupid reportage.
1. If the story is true, Access bank is well within their right to DEMAND that their workers improve their performances, increase their targets and stuffs like that. It is what every sane business do.
2. What medical report linked the stress she went through at work with the cause of her death other than what the alledge whistle blower claimed she told her collegues before she died.
3. This looks like a low budget Nollywood script.
4. On issues of pressure on women, please come off it. There is no pressure much more than what an individual commits to.
5. My candid opinion is, if the job is too stressful for ones health, please quit that job. When you get paid fat salaries, it is not national cake. It is for you to deliver. I know of husband that told their wives to resign and set them up with supermarket or travelling to Dubai, US, Turkey, Italy and so on to buy and sell.

chaircover: Very sad indeed.

Last week, I was speaking to a banker and he confided that his salary was just under 50K but he has been told to go and raise 10 billion Naira. He told me stories of mangers making them stand on tables and calling them all sorts of names.

Seriously though, people cant have their cake and eat it and one has to decide what is more important to them; their health and wellbeing or much lesser pay and peace of mind although i find it hard to believe that some bankers are being paid so little in exchange for so much work.
