Let us even forget about the kids and wife and all that, the man is manning the bank in Ikeja, could his salary afford him an apartment around such area, meaning, he will have to reside in the suburb and how much do you think will take him there and back and he must eat while on the job . . .

xynerise: A lot of people will tell me to mind my business, but my business is the unprofessional conducts of these security men to bank customers.

Is it that these security men are not motivated properly or its out of greed?

This is against the ethical conduct of a bank. A lot of people have been complaining about this issue so I had to make it open to the house.

Whats your take?

olaolaking:

So why do you complain of police? Is their salary big enough or they don't have families to cater for?
How do you know that I earn more than 25k. The security man has a better job in certain cases than those they beg for money.

Fiawest: One just begged me for N1000 now @ first bank in Ado Ekiti.....

isha.salam:
Personally, I have never experienced it maybe cos i mostly use GT but I just happened to notice a tall security @ Ogudu GTB gallery, who is everly soo nice and friendly. I observed for about a year without tipping him but his demeanor NEVER changed, cos of this, whether i can afford or not, I always give him like 1k. Thats good service thats brings more reward without tainting his name.

St.Ola:


"People like you" is why there can never be order in Nigeria, why bribery will never die, and why corruption would continue to be celebrated.
You have the effrontery to celebrate that you cheat your way to make deposits faster than those you meet on the queue. Are those who follow the due process stupid for being adults?

"People like you" create a situation where files pile up on the desk of a government officer because he/she is yet to receive a tip to do his/her assigned duty, while busy processing jobs for those who "hate to queue up for something".
You create a situation where an officer of the law turns a blind eye to offences commited in exchange for a token of N200 or N500, and when "people like you" become far fetched on a certain day, the already compromised officers harass such monies off law abiding citizens.

"People like you" are a shame to the nation, and worse shame is that you learnt no better even while at school.

Infoay: They don't really beg me directly but indirectly with the ways and manners they greet me when am entering and leaving the bank. Well I don't blame them at all.

Godson201333: Well yeah they do and Give it shall be given unto you..Na just 100 naira...They are begging because they pay them peanuts 18,000 naira per month yet they will deduct 2k for uniforms and stuff..Its a pity but i always give with a cheerful heart!

Alexyem: I have worked as a security man in one of this new generation banks and i knw everything about this job.
I worked with a popular private security company then,most of my colleague ar graduate from differnet part of higher institution with gud certificate,the least qualification working with the company is OND as @ then,i dont knw present situation.

They gave us training according to where u ar going to work cos we have different base like banks.hospitals,tetiary institute,mass,private guard e.t.c,i will comment on bank cos i was trained to work @ bank.

If a security man great u,open gate for u or open ur car door for u it is what he was trained for,i did most of these for my customer some when coming back they dash me something and some pocket their money which is normal,but the situation in which a security men said bros hw far now,that means there is somtin between them,u can not jst come in for d first time nd they will be asking you for money impossible because they dont knw if u ar a supervisor from d banking sector or there security sector.

And there are some pple in my area,they cant read nor write and they are collecting 65000 upward monthly from federal govt without doing any job for them.u can expecting me to use my pen and knowledge i acquire with money for dem freely i ll even collect my service money before writing anything for you.

And apart from security tell me who no they collect "at all at all na hmn bad"from others police,navy,army,civil defence,frsc even d bankers tell me,d ones i named up most of they na by force,if u go bank nd d security great u dont think then dey beg u for money,if den leave work,u no fit witstand any one of them outside.

And as for you that think doing security job is a curse,move with them nd ask them how the work is going,some of the security that open the gate for you are now the branch manager of some of the banks,some u see infront of ur school yesterday before you gain entrance in to the school are now ur HOD

simpleseyi: Less than a month ago, a First Bank night security guard with one of the branches was arrested for going to steal money from the ATM at night. The report further stated that the security man is an OPC member who earns 20,000 naira per month. How can a man be paid 20,000 per month to watch over millions or billions of naira when in actual fact the contractor company who hires the security guard on behalf of the bank takes at least three times of this amount. Why employ them through third party? I know that these contractor companies collect at least three times what they give the security guards because I have worked in 3 different banks over the last 11 years or so. I personally give them money every weekend. This is why many of these security guards are beggers in uniform. This is man inhumanity to man. CBN SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SECURITY GUARDS START CARRYING ATMs HOME AT NIGHT.

Fhemmmy:

Police arrest you and wont let you go till you pay them, these people are not forcing you, they smile, they greet and if you give fine, else, you are free to go your way

AnanseK:

it is very embarrassing and bad , no matter how it is done.

freestuffsonnet: Good thread..have been waiting to hear this. Guys, begging is begging, no matter how you package it. I don't really like that idea of A Full healthy man begging money from another man of his type. e no make sense. do you know whether na dey last kobo the person come withdraw from the bank. and you want to use still collect it from him. I hate that their attitude. I rather give to the guy who didn't ask for it than giving it to the one who is hailing me and calling me chairman in the means of begging. What's difference b/w the beggars in the street and them?

They should look for another job if they are not satisfy with security work. after all i know where and how to give if i want to give. They don't have to teach me that. That's my take on this.
