Sometimes, I just wonder how all these crazy demands from job seekers started in this country.

Companies advertise for Graduate Trainee openings stipulating maximum age of 24 years and yet stating Masters degree is added advantage.Apparently, they expect one to have a Masters degree at age 24.

There was a job opening in one of the new generation banks I saw few weeks back stating they only need graduates from foreign universities or those having MSc or MBA from a foreign university.How crazy? For a job opening in Nigeria, you are shutting the doors to Nigerian trained graduates. What happened to Corporate Social Responsibility and labour laws in Nigeria?


Or is it the maltreatment of Direct Sales Agents and Contract staffs in our financial institutions. These people who are employed as DSAs are also graduates but they face inhumane treatments in our banks. They give them crazy targets and pay them peanuts.
How irrational our Nigerian employers have become, subjecting someone to inhumane and unfavourable work conditions and yet still expect maximum productivity from such dehumanized and unhappy employee? How possible is that?


What prompted me to write this write up was my experience with a leading Microfinance bank in Nigeria today. I did an interview with the bank,passed the interview, did medicals and was asked to provide 3 guarantors before I'll be issued my appointment letter.

The crazy part of the guarantor thing is that the bank wants my guarantors to issue them a blank cheque; and attach 6 months statement of accounts. Where on earth does a prospective employer request for blank cheque as part of the requirements of a guarantor before issuing employment letter.

This has left me confused and pondering what kind of country is this?

For the first time ever, I am the first person to comment. I dedicate this to God Almighty. The maker of heaven and earth. DJspinall, please play me "igba ope mi da" by kate perry. Up manutd!

At the end of the day, na man know man.

beta plan towards starting your own biz and become an employer too.

Salary can not make you wealthy n rich

hmmm, God will help us

Its unfair and discriminatory !

Take heart

I did My MBA here in Nigeria, but my firm refused to increase my pay. While doubling the pay of staff who returned with MBA in foreign Universities..

Well Next year I'm going to study Purchasing Logistics and supply chain management too in a foreign University...

I no get choice Baba me too need higher pay

My friend got his Ph.d at age 24, the news was everywhere yesterday naa,
therefore no big deal

One woman want to Bleep me, because she want secure me a job..

They shud just request to see ur ancestors sef... Nonsense from all these recruiters

The Lord is our strength..Bicos dey wan pay u 30k .Sigh NIG,E go better.

Very sad, they are obviously taking advantage of the Nigerian situation.

For goodness sake if I am your father why should I give you a signed blank cheque, when we have rogue bankers all over talkless of an ordinary micro finance bank.

Any source for this? Such an institution should be named and shamed.

It's no scam bro.

The bank in question is a leading bank in Nigeria. Their commercial bank is actually the biggest! and the microfinance arm is quite robust too.

Entrepreneurs all d way

the Nigerian situation is really pathetic. I know surely that 'Ope lo maa end story mi'.

We live in a corrupt/ capitalist country with no trust on both side, employee angle and employer angle. Every side trying to take advantage of each other. Like the quote from Achebe, “Eneke the bird says that since men have learnt to shoot without missing, he has learnt to fly without perching.”
