My Banker Friend Quit His Job To Work In A Car Wash by Nobody: 11:42am On Aug 07, 2023
Seriously, I'm pained right now,how can one decide to be stvpid and senseless at the same time
Before I begin, I swear to God who made me, this is not a lie,this is a true story....The story may seem long

So I have this friend, a close friend that works in a bank in Lag, he lives In his family house because his parents are late and he earns 70k plus,though he complains every now and then that the salary isn't much, if he collects salary by month end, before the 10th of the following month,he is already calling me for help on transports and all that and once in a while I help him with 1k or 2k to take transports and all that.

Last weekend,he was discussing with me on WhatsApp about car washing business,telling me it's lucrative and all those....I didn't pay much attention to it until he called me on Thursday and started crying...I asked him the problem,he told me a cousin of his sweet talk him into car washing business that it is lucrative and he can earn as much as 5k a day washing cars and he dropped the bombshell

He told me he sent in his resignation letter on Monday and Parked out of his family house telling those ones that he has been transferred to another branch, he moved to the one room apartment the car washing company provided to him n 3 other guys and started work. He said he hoped in his mind that if he can make 5k a day, he can save as much as 3-4k daily and that is a big improvement to the bank work

The reason for the lamentations now was things are not the way his cousin told him,he said since last week Monday up till this moment, they have only washed maximum of 3 cars per day and at the end of the day, the owner only gives them 5h each in which he used for eating. I requested for video call on Sunday and he is seriously looking lean and unkempt

He apologized that he didn't seek an advice from me or anyone before taking that bold move, he told me he is seriously depressed and wants me to profer a solution to him

Problem now is,he told me he is ready to quit the work and come to a different state that I am in other to restrategize.....I don't know what to tell him because I don't have much too and I'm struggling too because I'm sure if he comes,I will be fully responsible for feeding and all that
Moreso,I can't tell him "No" because right now,he has no where to go,his parents are late and he has already packed out of his family house rendering him homeless,moreso he is my very good friend

So I seek an advise from you all
Pls advise me, I'm confused!

He can go back to the bank a month later that he resigned on health reason to go and treat himself. That he is OK now and willing to resume. At least they can see how lean he is now if he had good rappot with his boss

A "banker" who earns ₦70k monthly is a bank worker, not a banker.

Lol. Bank worker or banker at least he still earn something which is far better than his present state.

when people make a choice always leave them to their repercussion.

if it turned out well like he imagine he won't reach out to you, his hands got burnt and now he called you. you don't have more reason why you should not put yourself in a tight corner.
how sure are you he won't make a decision that will harm you tomorrow?
he has bank experience let him go and apply.
he should return to his parent's house and start all over again, the highest you can do for him is send job opportunities his way, people like this done think thru or make the research they just dive right in, with no calculated risk, no counsel.

even the bible said in the multitude of counsel there is safety. For your mental and physical health do not bring him in.

Lol

Bros, he’s not a banker but a banker worker.

No future for contract staff in the bank
Do you know the suffering they go through? If only you know, you will understand how the frustrations that drove him out of that job. The bank use them like slave labor.
Don’t blame him too much, such is life, best is to rework a plan

Damnnn niggar

Hahha

It sounds funny

But the truth be say him go dey make more money than that banking job if he can exercise patience

Washing one car goes for 1k to 2k here in Benin city at the local place though...I washed my lexus on Friday for about 1500 naira and it didn't take them 50 minutes to finish washing it

So just imagine he is able to wash twenty cars in a day
That is like twenty thousand naira
Then the boss gives him 10k..imagine someone making 5k to 10k a day...that is something na

He took a risk albeit a wrong one and it backfired.

He had better go back to his former job/outsourcing firm maybe they can reconsider him.

People only appreciate their "small" salary when it is stopped. Na then eye go clear.

Bank job is synonymous with slavery. The work - life balance is one of the worse you'd get out there, especially in a country like Nigeria. Little wonder the banking career is losing relevance. No one aspires to a banking job these days, tech ati take over

Learn to mind your business . Bein a poknosing busy body gossip is so bad Espinoza for a man.

Just imagine how this gossip started the gossip about his friend to us.

I swear this story is not a lie

Exactly how my woman stats her gossip stories about our neighbours πŸ˜ͺ

Then this gossip went on to type a whole long story about his friend to us.

My people pray against friends like the OP they are worse than satan in your life .

Imagine all he details and gist he told us total strangers about his friend now imagine what he will tell to those who know his friend.

This one is a satanic gossip and a busy body .

If you tell people like the OP your secret you are finished . Imagine if thos man was a woman!!? Omo na endless gossiping stories every day about all her friends .
