My piece on bank job. I was there for 5 years, the pay was good, the stress worth the pay or vice versa but …the 'long hours' was 'much ado about little' really.

The truth of the matter is, its not all those looooong hours that are spent working. Like I said in my introduction, I'd been in the system and anyone who wants to claim he works really hard from 8am to 8pm should come boldly and say it on this thread. I worked in different branches and departments of my former bank before I left and I saw things. Not only that, I had (still do have) friends in banks and we compare notes. Hectic as the job was made to look, we still had time to play computer games. I think bank management should stop deceiving themselves by equating long hours with hard work.

I had a couple of friends who, after they would have been chased out of the office to go for marketing, would make some calls here and there and then go and spend some hours at home before returning to the office (some of course do their private runs), why?, they must not be seen in the office but when they come back laaaaate, they will be seen as 'working hard'.

The above now makes the ogas themselves, the policy makers to, portray a 'busy' outlook. Some DGMs/AGMs spend their evenings browsing and

HELLO To SO-CALLED NIGERIAN BANKERS,

I don't normally comment on threads like this, but i guess it's high time that Nigerian bank workers should stop deceiving themselves as bankers. It is so annoying that customer service, compliance, marketing department, cashier, , trusteeship, broker, asset manager, custodian, even gatemen etc all call themselves BANKERS in Nigeria; so far they work in a bank. Please wake up to reality, you guys are not banker but going bonkers, you're just bank workers.

It's just very painful when you see graduates with high level of intelligence, going around misusing words. I came across someone last december who works in transfer calling herself a banker.

BANKER: Someone who owns or is an executive in a money-managing institution(i.e bank).

We often refer to people from officers and above as bankers not low level graduates. But i'm not sure if you have an officer level in Nigerian banks, not sure of your structure.

But here, we have analyst, associate, Snr associate, officer, Assistant VP, VP(Vice President), MD, Snr VP or MD, Executive VP etc

I didn't mean to insult anyone but its because i know what i'm saying and also in the same industry.
I was disgraced when my cousin came here last summer to visit me here and went on lunch with me and my Snr VP, then introduced himself as a banker in Nigeria. He was asked about his job by my Snr VP, which then resulting to him accepting he's just a bank worker.
