Bankers: The New Sex Symbols?

Is it only bankers that try to show off?
Nigerians in general place a lot of value on material things. It doesn't matter if you are battling with debt or still
borrowing money to fuel your brand new car, as long as you have one you have arrived in the eyes
of naija people. We have a lot of misplaced values that is the plain truth.

@poster there is no need to worry your head. Just inculcate the right values into your life and work hard too so
that other people can envy you but make sure you are not suffering in silence while deceiving people sorry yourself.

Naija people get liver sha. with all these dare devil armed robbers all over the place, we still live extravagant and flamboyant lifestyles in an oppresive nature.

  I agree we cannot let our lives be controlled with fear . . . but softly softly o.

People n waoh,why we dey wast time with bankers, a simple summary of my survey of nigerian bankers shows thus
Zenith  bank;humble tall and over style guys(handsome one must admit)
                     over pumpouse,arrogant and husband seeking girls with wide mouths.
Access bank; inteligient but arrogant work force.
UBA;Too lazy,under paid,highly demotivated and frustrated workforce.

Question our life style and value system
We are a flambouyant lot
So its nit just the bankers.
Any Nigerian that becomes rich will do the same thing

But pray, who doesn't like a good life?

Please, this is a forum where you can post any topic that catches your fancy. No need to insult anyone.

Like a poster said its all effizzi. In the telecomms industry, they do no make noise like bankers, yet there is more cash in their system. In one of the GSM companies, the Chief Technical Officer controls a budget of more than $600m(N72billion) per annum and he is just like the guy next door, also the capital side of MTN'S BALANCE SHEET is bigger than that of all the 24banks put together and the MD/CEO does not go in convoy. But have u seen Tony Elumelu(UBA) or Jim Ovia(Zenith) at the Intenational Airport? U will think its a Governor or Senate President that is tavelling.

But bankers need the showmanship cos its all part of marketing. I an not sure I will put my money in a bank, where the tellers look like underpaid and overworked Edo state civil servants. Or in a bank where the Aircon is not working and instead of a water dispenser they put pure water sachets in a tray in the middle of the banking hall.

 Do you see ladies Bankers in hot mini skirts? My o My. I see nothing wrong in being flashy as long as you have the right attitude. Flambouyance is a personal thing, and every opne is free to do as he pleases. But it would be foolish to live above one's income.
. Secondly, i Thinki its the nature of the job that determines how the banker dresses. bankers aree corporate people, so its understandable if the look sharp. In other words, they are marketing their brands. But oil companies are different. You can wear jeans to work, it doesnt matter. I think i like their style

lmao at 4play

WHY?Seun why?
wat motivates u to do all this stupid shit u do?
wat pls?wat?

Am a middle management staff of a new generation bank in Nigeria. well i don't see anything wrong with dressing well. abi you want to to see us like those old union bank staff. well the truth is that banks in Nigeria pay well and infact a friend of mine in a consulting firm told me that there is research conducted where it was agreed that banker earn better that even oil worker their reason is because in the oil industry when you are employed as an entry level staff you will start well with like 5M but you can remain on that scale for 5 years if your in the bank and on an average lane  you will be an SBO or AM where you can earn above that. The banking industry in Nigeria is thriving well because there is oil boom and what makes me sad is that these monies are in the hands of few and it hardly tricks to the real sector that actually grows the economy and one other thing that make me sad these days is the promos banks do in  Nigeria haba banking is soppose to be a conservative profession like medicine or Law but are now asking people to open account and win generator or Okada haba like indomie or Maggi seller  well i don't have a choice for now but that is really disappointing  but i like the carriage we have  and the KUZA

Nigerian Bankers are tax evaders!!! Fraud Masterminds!!! The biggest Scammers in the world. All of them

First they devide their income into pieces so that government will not tax them: They have basic salary seperate which is less than 1/5 of their income thats d one government tax. Then they have housing allowance, then they have medical allowanc and they have maintenance allowance. These are non taxable. Which is not suppose to be according to FIRS regulation. But they dont declare that to FIRS. I worked for one of the new generation in Nigeria and I know what they do. They are defrauding the government.

They also dont give their shareholders anything. The proportion of the income of the bank to the salary of the staff and the devidends given to share holders is just not a fair bargain. Government have to look deep into their business b4 something bad happen to Nigerian economy

chei

and i thought people beef doctors!

bebe2007 go away jealous ashole

Hey quys,

Let's face the facts.we are in a free society which free information and respect for individual opinion rules.

The poster made a post airing his views about our bankers and their attitudes to customers whobring the money that pays their salary and rather than critically digesting and discussing the points raised.Its being attacks on him,calling him all manner of names which is unethical in all manner of ways(I stand to corrected).

He talked about the non-conservative life style of our bankers in comparison to what is obtainable in the EU countries.Instead of encouraging his view point,we are telling that ''if you beat them,join them",unknowingly marketing our mentality and the level of our financial manageability to the outside world.

We will remember,Prof C.Soludo that what we have before are nothing but cash centers.Not minding the many mergers and acquisitions that gave birth to the 25 banks that we have now.None is the first 200 banks in the world.Our banks are still very far from being what a bank should be and do in a growing economy like ours.

I'm gonna stop 'cos I getting mad

My problem is not what they have or buy but the kind of attitude most of them exhibit  while on duty. They see you as nobody more especially when you come to deposit small amount. The word ethics and moral should be their every day subject.

Which one come be your headeache sef? na your money

i know ppl who are ready to trade their heads so they can leave the banking arena
