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[/color]



So,
Oga Slakay.Who is a banker?



i wonder oo!i had to scramble for my dictionary.

Seun001,

Can't believe you said sales executives are bankers, we call them client management here. How can you call an OND sales person, AN EXECUTIVE. Guess you're the right person to agrue with, no disrespect.

I don't look down on anyone in Nigeria because it's the Nigeria bank money that sponsored me here to obtain all my qulaifications. (Thanks to my mother) So for you to say i don't keep tabs on Nigeria, you must be mistaken because i visit that country four times every year and i've families in the tail end of manangement in the banking/Investment industry.

I've spoken to top directors in Nigerian banks about the way low ranked staffs call themselves BANKERS, and all of them said Nigerian love to boast of what they aren't and that keeps them happy.

Like one of them said : "if that motivates them why not keep lying to them until they come across someone who'll blow their bubble".

Seun001, hopefully we would sit down one day and take about it and i can bet you would agree with me as top directors of the two biggest banks in Nigeria did.

Mr Yankee banker, see how rudely you are attempting to correct people on an issue u know next to nothing about. pls let the half baked knowledge you have humble you.

for your information, a banker is an institution or a person who is certified by the recognised body for professional banking professionals in the country in which the institution or person is operating or practicing as the case may be.

needless to say that it has nothing to do with your level in the bank. in a properly regulated environment, certain positions in a bank can only be occupied by a banker(certified banking professionals) and in some cases, a certain lenght of experience is required. that is why you think that being an officer  and above automatically qualifies one to be a banker, which is wrong. it can only be right is the so called officer is certified by the regulating body  for banking professionals in the country of practice or has been certified by any other international  banking professional body that is recognised in the country in which he is practicing.

in the case of Nigeria, the recognised body for professional bankers is the chartered institute of bankers of Nigeria, and any one who is in practice and is an associate  member of the institute is a banker , irrespective of whether he is an assistant banking officer or an executive director, so be guided

Hey slaykay07,

I have to get some things straight here:-

Are you a Nigerian? Tribe? Time you left the country border?,  infact there are so many questions.

You talk in a disdainful manner. Wow do you have to talk to Nigerians in such a manner. At least am happy you said that Nigerian money was one of the factors that facilitated your going abroad.

If you must know, there are some people that like to boast, so you leave them if that makes them happy, that doesnt warrant you raining abuse on a nation like Nigeria.

But I would like to advise you, Nigeria and that place you are staying is a world apart. We have our own terms of descriptions and they have theirs. So please stop comparing Nigeria to which ever country you are staying at the moment.

As for your cousin embarrasing you, maybe you didnt warn him on time.

Get the gist boy!

I hope oneday all these misuse of position name would end in Nigeria. I can remember my silly uncle who have to many times to stop including Engineer in front of his name (Enr. Slaykay), it's the highest level of ignorance.

Conversation between me and my so-called Engineer Uncle

Kay: Pls stop introducing yourself as Engineer ,   to my friends pls take if off your letterhead and put it as a footer.
Uncle: That's the way it is here, you can't come to tell us what is right or wrong, it has been like these for donkey years
Kay: I'm very sure you know it's wrong because you studied in MIT (massachusetts)
Uncle: I know my dear, but that's the way it is here. If you don't include it in your name people here won't respect you.
Kay: Okay i see, but pls don't include it in your daughter's wedding invitation
Uncle: You're unbelievable, that's is where it is most required. LOL!!!!!!!
Kay: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your problem? It seems as if you are out to condemn Nigerians to the last drop of your blood.

Anyway I don't have to waste my time on you. It is left between you and your 'SILLY' Uncle as you rightly said to settle your differences.

If you feel that you are a positive katalyst, come down to Nigeria and improve things or better still, you can talk to President Yar'Adua to give us some lecture on how to design letter heads.

Wonders shall never end, imagine a little boy calling his uncle "SILLY UNCLE"

[size=8pt][/size]
Sabak,

You have gone to read out a dictionary to us. Please you should know that dictionaries are for general knowledge not industry standard. I agree with you on being certified, guess i assumed people should be brillant enough to know what an officer is and what it takes to be an officer( minimum experience and qualification).

I was born into a family of bankers, so i know what am saying and secondly, people who are top ED and MD of Nigeria bank have agreed with me on several occassions.
Pls read my post again, because i was referring to graduates calling themselves bankers.

@slaykay,

i didnt say that marketers are called sales executives in the banking industry,was alluding to what pertains in other sectors of the economy.actually they are also called bankers.

but chill,am also of the opinion that it's supposed to be called bank worker but due to ego and the state of unemployment in the country,it might do well to call it as such.

But seriously, why do Nigerians quickly add senitments to things. I remember a Nigerian associate of mine, who i told to pull his weight, which lead to him telling me that he's older than me and if not because of condition i shouldn't be his boss and that if i petition him, he would go back to Nigeria and report to my parents ( i don't even known how he knew my parents). Wonder shall never end. I found out that he was a bank worker that use to process my school fees when i was in secondary school in Nigeria

We are both good friends now.

Slaykay07,

Your tune said it all. May be you go back to all your post especially on the one talking on Banker stuff.

There are some mild words, phrases and sentences you should have used. Instead of using insulting and authoritative words as if you are ordering people to stop using word.

You are only making suggestions. So you would have soften your tune okay?

slaykay,
            u are just an arogant illiterate,  your halfbaked exposure has so buried your intuition that u dont have the capacity to learn. how in the world does coming from a family of bankers confer a superior knowledge of english language to u. for your infomation i was not giving u a dictionary definition, i was educating u on  something u do not know jack about.

the point i am making to u is that some people who  have posts in this thread are bankers by all ramifications, whether in nigerian context, lingual context or industry context,  so your ignorance couldnt let u see that before making a general aspersion in a manner  only uneducated and half baked upstarts can. superior knowledge humbles people, and your outbursts here only serve to conclude that u have got none. pick your manners when next u are contributing in a public arena

i am even sure that u are working in one of those backwater- one shop banks, come here come dey run mouth

Hi all!
Am new in the forum. I work with an Asset and Portfolio Mgt coy. quite stressfull and demanding, but  not as the Banking Industry.

My reason for studying finance and banking, sitting for NIM, CIBN/ACCA and CISA.
Professionalism is just my watch word.
I need your advice on the banking industry, which supports career dev. the most, and how to really get in?

monna,

I seriously don't understand why you would want to move from an asset management company into retail banking. i know people that would kill to move into investment management from retail or corporate banking. Only if you're not really involved in the asset management work within your firm

I decided to use figures back up my initial post. I personally know a fund manager in my firm collecting $6million as bonus NOT salary; just bonus for 2007. So guess you really need to think about your move.

I'm not sure how much bonus, fund managers get in Nigeria but if your fund performs well, means you're looking at big fat bonus this december.  D

Don't forget everyone is smiling in Nigeria at the momment due to the bull market, so what do you think fund manager's bonus would be this december? BIG FAT BONUS if you ask me.
