50calibre:Perfect!!! The average cab driver in the States earn about $25k per year after taxes. however the poverty level in the States is $18,000 per year.. on the other hand, A banker in Nigeria earns far above the proverty level in Nigeria. Most Nigerians back home dont really know that the cost of living the States is very high. The average rent for 1 bedroom in NY or Cali is about $1100 ( 176000 Naira) per month. On the other hand, the Average rent of 1 bedroom in Lagos or Abuja is about less than $200 (32,000 Naira) per month. An Average banker in Nigeria is better off than an Average taxi driver in the States. 3 Likes |

This is big lie. NL is full of kids and men that cant reason as an adult. I dont know Chidi Odiah but im sure he is not broked. The website that release the news could not provide his current pics. The pics on the website is "C. Odiah" on eagles shirt. This kind of lie is not good for Nigerians. NL moderator abi na editor should try to censor this kind of crab. If this guy is poor, he should worth more than 20million Naira. |

Diasporan: You sound like a guy who earns peanuts doing menial jobs and thinks he is warren buffet maybe because compared to the standard of living you experienced in Nigeria, you feel you are in heaven. Well stop making noise or deceiving yourself, everyone ain't the same. I sure as hell can't engage in menial jobs, it's below my station. You boast about your investments, but well let me just drop you a hint without sounding boastful. I drive a chrysler crossfire (payed for all at once) and studied in a university where tuition fees are about £10k P.A + about £5k living expenses P.A. Multiplied by 3 years. I didn't take out any student loan despite the fact I'm entitled to one so you do the maths and gauge where I stand vis-a-vis investments. Your logic is flawed because going by that logic, a person in Britain should have more money because the pound sterling is far stronger than the dollar and overwhelmingly stronger than the naira - £1 = N 260, $1 = N 150, The british government pays rents/mortgages and utility bills for the unemployed or low income earners, they pay weekly wages to the unemployed, health care is free (no insurance), child care is free. Don't use yourself as a paradigm because you can live in a ranch or desert out in Texas but it doesnt mean life is good for you. If you take your menial job salary to an affluent part of the US, you would be out of money faster than the speed of light. A man can earn $100 and go and reside in a $20 rent house, that doesn't make him better than a banker in Nigeria who might resides in an affluent part of Lagos and get to hobnob with people of status, not a cab driver who has fellow cabbies as friends. Pound for pound the banker is winning 2 Likes |

And to think I gave life to a nigga that rocks a Chinese jeans like a half rhetarded spic from Ajegunle. I'm so ashamed of myself.

I just saw the below article on Nairaland.....LMAO The Truth About Bank Pay In Nigeria - Career - Nairaland Nairaland Forum / Nairaland / General / Career / The Truth About Bank Pay In Nigeria (9472 Views) Poll: Would you like to work in a bank for more than 5 years yes: 24% (8 votes) no: 54% (18 votes) not sure: 21% (7 votes) This poll has ended Wema Bank Pay Package. / Union Bank And Zenith Bank Pay / First Bank Pay Now 2.2 Million Naira? (1) (2) (3) (4) (0) (1) (Reply) (Follow) (Go Down) The Truth About Bank Pay In Nigeria by emekauzor(m): 6:14pm On Jul 30, 2008 This information/news is being passed around. Now, its your turn to have it. Enjoy reading. Guys, Just read this up: At times when u guys pass comments on bank's pay, u tend to make me laugh. I am working in one of the banks, my bank is not in the top five yet but in the top ten. Do not be deceived with all those paper pays and apart from that, HR policies of each of the banks differs If you say Bank PHB is the highest paying you make me laugh. See they will just tell u the good part of it, they are leaving out the negatives. Do you know that in the same Bank PHB, you only earn the percentage of the branch target that was met for that month? If you branch makes 75% in target and profitability, then you are going to earn 75% of your salary, be it business developers (marketers) or support guys (operations). Entry level for 1ST BANK is 104k and it is a less stressful place to work. this is because they have cheap funds ---- monies of our great grandfathers who are dead & we are not even aware of (ie monies of the deads).The amalgamation of this funds over the decade makes 1st bank a big bank, thereby putting less stress on their biz developers. they are really being proactive and dynamic nowadays. As for INTERCONTINENTAL BANK, nice pay but unsecured work. Don't be surprised if you get to work tomorrow morning and find that your colleague is under suspension for what could be treated as minor issues in other places. Sincerely, I don't know how their staff still manage to put up a SMILE despite the uncertainties that surrounds them. Zenith pay is quite small at entry level but they usually promote across board unlike other places where promotion is based on performance. Zenith promotes you for your effort and also promotes at times for you to be geared to be like top performers though you're not performing very well. if you really want to learn the ethics and basics of banking, it is not the best place to start for a marketer because you will not know more than how to generate deposit. The other aspects of banking ie risk assets generation (credit packaging) will be virtually nil. It is a nice place to be with good and strong corporate image. They have a sound IT in place and their staff are proud of their Bank. GT Bank is a very classy place to work. My problem with them, they have quite a sizeable number of contract staff as support. Their PS is cool too and your promotion is rest assured. Their staff are very distinct. Their staff are very proud of their bank too. OCEANIC pays well too. It is roughly 90k at the beginning for 6months, before you are upgraded from PIT to AO and you start earning up to 156k in a month. I heard they also pay 87k as quarterly pay for entry level. It is a bank that needs to pay more attention to the quality of staff they recruit, as well as their IT. More often than not, they are always having FINACLE DOWN TIME. At times the quality of staff recruited is a reflection of the organization. I tend to wonder if some of them tipped HR to be employed or maybe the people that are recruiting are recruiting people like them. FCMB is a place I will rather advise entry level guys to start from because they will learn more within a short period of time. After acquiring the knowledge here, the sky is not even the limit again. Entry level is 160k per month before confirmation. Immediately you are confirmed, your monthly pay drops to 87k but the remaining part is paid as quarterly pay every three months. This is usually up to 220k. You also have access to 80k line of medical services. They have a superb IT facility and their staff are highly knowledgeable. My problem with FCMB is their staff. They are usually not proud of their workplace and they have every cause to be though they have NICE T-SHIRT, ADVERT, PRODUCT, building. I love their lapel pin. STANBIC IBTC is a lovely place to work too. entry level is up to 150k. It is another place I will recommend to starters to begin from because they will learn a lot from here. Their staff are cool. Skye Bank -- entry level is 130k (not too sure). I heard they have a lot of contract staff too. I had an unpleasant experience wit some of their marketers last week and I promised myself if those are the caliber of people working in Skye, I will never work for them. They have a very good advert that won them into the hearts of Nigerians. I thought they dropped their standard wit that NEW HAKUNA MATATA ADVERT. They also need to improve their IT. ACCESS BANK place a lot of emphasis on the quality they recruit. Though they have contract staff too, they all look well paid. Entry level is up to 120k. So I heard o. ETB -- heard they pay well, but it is a one-man business that is not quoted on the stock market floor. I don't know much about the following. ------ Fidelity, Eco, Unity, First Inland, Union Be that as it may, banking sector is still one of the best place to work. It makes you couth and respected. You also meet people you would never have dreamt of meeting. In terms of pay, the Oil boys may be ahead initially but the problem is that they hardly get promoted unlike a banker that can become a BM within 4-5years whereas your friend in the oil sector is just about getting his 1st promotion and a time is coming when money might not be important again but positions. that is why you see people introducing themselves as Head of this and that while your friend in the oil industry is still saying yes sir to the same Oga he has been saying it to for 5 years. Truly speaking, the best thing you can do for yourself is to be self employed. I have read about bankers and I just can not help laughing at times. Banking is not all about marketing and begging for money. There are other technical depts. --- financial control, treasury, credit admin etc. You never know how far until you're in the system.

Below are statements from honest Nigerians Re: The Problem With Nigeria`s Banking Sector? by obynzo: 2:31pm On Jun 09, 2010 @koolguy88 i understand what you are trying to point out but let me be honest with you.The situation of the banks is not due to the recession but due to the sharp practices and mismanagement of the sector by the greedy directors.Most of them gave out loans to people speculating in the futures in the oil and gas and also the stock exchange and these loans were given without adherence to proper loan risk evaluation protocols,simply because the customers are connected to the powers that be in the country.The slump in the oil prices just helped to expose them. If due process was followed we would not have been in this mess. I am saying this because i was a victim of this mass retrenchment in the sector. On the issue of dissatisfied staffs,why won't staffs be dissatisfied,when you are told to cut cost even if it means working in very unsatisfactory conditions, marketers have to fly okada,trek to look for new accounts,tellers have to work with bad counting machines and in the end one Executive director will still take delivery of another bullet proof Jeep which of course will be financed by the bank and you expect staff to be satisfied? Please lets look into this very well. I REST MY CASE |

It's terrible - I just pity all of them! The way banking is practised in Nigeria is such that only the devil and his agents can actually enjoy it! It is full of temptation! My elder sister, a married woman just resigned from UBA last week as she could no longer cope with the pressure of meeting unrealistic target. She confessed to us that if she doesn't go now, one day one day, she would be tempted to sleep with a business prospect in order to meet UBA' s funny targets and what would happen to her marriage thereafter? Besides, evil begets evil. So, the job right now is not for anybody seeking the kingdom of God. It is the most evil job in Nigeria right now! [/b][b] |

Many of u bashing this young man were among those who applied to be a truck driver with Dangote. If he is a taxi driver as d op claims, what's the big deal there? He may have made some mistakes as regards his spending during his hay days, but who cares? The last time I checked driving a taxi isn't an Illegal job.
