My brother, while your observation above could be true. The major reason you wouldn't find a Yoruba in Enugu or Owerri branches is because Yoruba's find it very difficult going eastwards or having to stay there. They rather you sent them to even Damaturu, Maiduguri or Kano.
I have had cause to shuffle some staff in my office in Nigeria (Abuja). As we had new projects in Imo and Ondo states.
The Yoruba chap was sent to Owerri while a Delta employee was to go to Akure. The Yoruba guy refused to resume in Owerri, instead preferred to be jobless in Lagos.

publisher: I have been made to understand that in order to increase your chances of getting a good job in certain Nigerian banks,you must belong to the right ethnic group.

Here's what i mean:
Wema bank - favours Yoruba jobseekers
Skye bank - favours Yoruba jobseekers
Unity bank - favours Hausa/ Northern Jobseekers
Zenith - favours Deltans/Delta Igbos
GTB - favours Yorubas
Diamond bank - favours Igbos
Access bank - favours Yorubas/Edos
Fidelity bank - favours Igbos
Union bank - favours Igbos
UBA - neutral
Fcmb - favours Yorubas
First bank - neutral

So people, is this gist true?

U see what ignorance and prejudice does.Tribalism is self destructive.Had it been he went to owerri,he would have forgoten his Yoruba land in two weeks.Enjoyment would brain wash him and IfA priest from yorubaland will come to his rescue.

As a matter of fact,Owerri,Enugu,Calabar are the most civil and hospitable place to be.

That guy is a bush man ,that's why he is so timid.

That might be the best opportunity he could have in his life

olaheavy: This 'moremi' person is another Igbo bastard in disguise. Millions of these yinminrin human-eaters were born, nurtured, and schooled in our Yorubaland. They tend to claim Yoruba as their ethnicity because they're ashamed of their cannibalistic Igbo heritage! Mother and fatherfucker go sleep with some human-eating Igbo LovePeddler! B'eru ba pe nile alajobi l'o ma n bu. Were, olosi, omo ale. Akindindinrin, omo Igbo onijekuje!

walkenz: Asides tribalism there's also church affiliation which seems to be trending at the moment

Bank of the north.

saintneo: The OP's post might be true. However, I can confirm to you that as an Igbo boy, I worked in FCMB(first job), I didn't know anyone in FCMB but I was in an executive meeting involving the MD of FCMB on my first week at work. Don't ask me the position I was then, it was all the favour of God, my intelligence and my wits.

Kay-Dee:

Most likely false.

I know the oil and gas companies work with the quota system which they declare openly, but I seriously doubt it is the same for other institutions.

That you must be connected or come from a certain ethnic group to get employed in an organization is a misleading impression. It may be the case in some instances but more often than not, people walk in based on merit.





I hope you don't hinder your chances yourself back because of this impression.

Asking for State of origin, LGA and religion is merely for statistical and demographic purposes.

it will take you decades to realize how far Nepotism has ruined this nation, who told you there are no jobs? and why are people unemployed? where does the job appear from when a chairman makes a call?
the employed will tell you how overworked they are but the "right" person has not come to fill the void yet.
who are the right people? people with contact or people that knows the job?

the word "merit" has left the Nigerian dictionary like 2 decades ago, even the writers of the Nigerian constitution were not selected on "merit" so why hope much.

in every organization, there are only but a few peeps who are smart and innovative, the rest are mere clueless opportunist.

imagine a flight attendant insisting i must give her my boarding pass with my right hand and this furore grounded the whole process for 30mins, my annoyance being that she didn't mind when the oyibos before me gave her with left. in her thoughts her left hand culture is a requirement for boarding an aircraft lol

now tell me if the so called flight attendant even understands her employment letter, but make inquiries she must be "highly recommended" lol

Adido: He is not saying that Zenith bank favors only Agbor guys, he is saying that Agbor guys are the majority in the bank's branches. This I know to be true as I worked with Zenith bank. This does not mean that Zenith bank does not employ anyone else. Please read statements carefully before you attack them.

Maybe I still don't understand him, his statement got my brain a bit confused because if Zenith favours only Agbor guys ahead of people from other parts of Delta state, then people from other parts of Delta state will come before people from other parts of Nigeria ; I also worked in ZB for a good number of years and I didn't notice "a majority of Agbor guys" in my office or unit.

floriana: Zenith Bank does not favour all Deltans o. It favours only Deltans from Agbor. Number one and two in the bank currently are from Agbor. Top management is also heavily populated by Agbor people. Jim Ovia is an illustrious son of Agbor town.

The op is right in some cases.
Diamond and i think former intercontinental is/was highly igbotic.
NDIC - highly hausa-ish.
