How many Nigerians are investment bankers? 90% or more of Nigerian bankers are commercial bankers and what the op stated applies to them and even more. The cons of Nigerian banking are more than the pros. The op even forgot to mention high blood pressure. I remember many of my former colleagues who slumped all of a sudden even in the banking hall and at the end, they became just memories!

Very true for point #5 is verry verrry accurate. Many people have gone down for offenses committed by others. A guy got fired because a colleague that defrauded the bank did a transfer to him. Guess what, the transfer he did was a repayment for some money he lent the fraudster colleague

6. No job security. Your job is always on the line if your boss does not write a good appraisal about you, or if your bank doesn't make enough profit as expected, or if you make a costly mistake, or if a customer complains about you, or if a misery shopper catch you unguided. If you are a contract staff the next morning may be your last day at work without notice.

7. You may be living your life in perpetual debts. As a banker, you are often cajoled into taking loans, if you take a loan you may not be able to finish paying in the next 5 years or more. Even if eventually you pay up, they will push another one to you or you may even be tempted to take another loan in order to acquire an expensive car or get an apartment that is normally beyond your level just because you want to live big. your entire life may be cycling around debt payment even after your ass has been kicked out of the job. Most bankers live a fake life, they live on borrowed money (loan).

8. You will not enjoy your health. Banking job is so worrisome and tormenting that top bankers usually develop high blood pressure despite the huge pay and bonuses that drop in their account everytime. There is always a bad loan, non-performing loan, list of defaulters, creditors to pursue, recovery strategies, endless action plans to execute and tonnes of heart-choking stuffs to run after.

9. Harassment. [/b]Bankers and Bank workers face many forms of harassment either from senior colleagues, customer or potential customers. Female folks especially face sexual harassment in a bid to meet their bogus targets. Also, bank staff face all manner of emotional harassment from angry and frustrated bosses who have probably had a bad day at an executive meeting or have been scolded and threatened by a senior executive at the head office or over the phone. Transfer of aggression is the order of the day among different levels of bank staff.

10. [b] Lack of proper plan for ones personal life.
Bankers lives are always a cycle around their job. They most of the time, don't always have a personal development plan, if at all there is any, it is the one that will be in the interest of their work, that is whey when their job fails, they are bereft of Plan B and they are left stranded, to maintain the expensive lifestyle becomes an issue. The nature of the bank job in this part of the world is such that bankers' lives are tied around their industry. They hardly have time to think about their future as they often believe that that is how life will continue until they die or the world ends, a reason they are shocked to the marrow if the job stops unexpectedly.
