One thing I keep telling people is if you are employed by a bank and you are asked to raise 5million naira every month ,and if you are able to do it . Then why not do the same thing for urself? The same way you market the bank to people ,why don't u market your ideas to people and raise money for your own business? If I can make it work for others then I can make it work for myself . But people just like the idea of job security and salary earning.

Obviously, moral standards have fallen too low in Nigeria. Otherwise, how can a decision that send bankers into imoral activities be termed just as ''business decision'' instead of a crime?. If our banks business decisions are making our ladies turn to prostitutes, isn't that a crime?. This's the type of thing, if discovered in the banking system of a country like Japan or China, the bank C.E.O may commit suicide out of shame or at least will honourably resign. And that's why their society move forward. But in Nigeria nobody takes responsibility, and that's why our country is the way it is.
CBN, you have every right to stop this nonsense cause your duty is to regulate Nigerian banks. This's not just a bad business decision, it's a crime!.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN has warned commercial banks operating in the country against placing unrealistic deposit targets on their marketers. The apex bank gave the warning during the 2014 Bank Directors Association of Nigeria stakeholders’ forum held in Lagos.

The warning is as a result of the current practice by some financial institutions in the country whereby prospective employees are forced to meet unrealistic deposit target as a prerequisite for employment or promotion.

The practice, according to the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele who was represented at the forum by Oneybuchi Kelvin of the Banking Supervision Department, goes against the grains of acceptable ethical conduct and corporate governance. He told the gathering that the practice could induce negative moral implications.

According to him, forcing bank marketers, especially females to meet unrealistic deposit targets could influence their decision to engage in illegal and immoral acts. To curtail this trend, he said: “The CBN is using moral suasion. We have been talking to banks about it. It is a continuous effort that we are making and we see the trend coming down. We cannot sanction the banks because it a completely business decision. “But then we are telling banks that it is a wrong business decision. We have been speaking to them to change the strategy because it is affecting the banking culture and the landscape of the industry”

He added that the apex bank is working closely with the banks to reduce the amount of people that are compelled to resort to unethical means to meet unrealistic targets set by their banks. He further added that “The Governor of the CBN is using the instrumentality of the bankers’ committee to talk to the management of banks to stem down on some of these policies. The intention is not to kill the marketing departments but to reduce the pressure by reducing the unrealistic targets that they place on marketers. The target should be realistic.”

Also speaking, the President of BDAN, Dr. Sonny Kuku urged the apex bank to censor the activities of commercial banks forcing their marketers to meet up with unrealistic targets. “We cannot continue like this. It is against international best practice. Promotion or hiring should not be based on raising money to banks through any means. There has to be standard. That is the only way we can restore sanity to the system,” he said.

CBN too should stop placing and enforcing unrealitic policies and regulations on banks. CBN is hampering the profitability of banks hence only a fraction of what can be made is made.

Bank marketers are corporate oloshos. Marrying a female bank marketer is as good as marrying a nollywood actress.d bank manager wants to get down wt her, 8 out of every 10 male major depositor wants to lay her. Most of dem receive calls mainly from these male toasters/depositors like they are customer care reps of telcos.
Imagine d bank telling a marketer to get #10million monthly or loose her job.

Why didnt he stop it when he was DMD and then MD at Zenith Bank?? Na now wey im wake up after him and his fellow CEOs have used our sisters and daughters to make money for them by any means necessary... mstchewwww!!!

Anyway, let us see the measures CBN will take to curb it... The easiest way is to make sure that banks stop focusing on the growing of depositors funds as the only function of a bank...
