Bro u don't get? There's NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BANKS GATEMAN AND ITS CEO OR MEMBERS OF ITS BOARD.

This man spent 8years on its board and only just left today so he's still VERY MUCH CONNECTED To gtb.

And the twitter users comment was aimed @ him and gtb. A rude customer yes but that reply was actually wholesome.

If u do not really appreciate the magnitude of the statement "THERE ARE 20 BANKS IN NIGERIA...it's not by force". Then sorry I can't lecture u.

Next time u feel wronged by a policy, bank, govt or company just remember that statement.

I'm sorry but there's a difference between a gate man and a board member. There's also a great difference between commenting on behalf of a company and commenting based on personal opinion. The man was attacked on his personal page and the fact that he just retired makes it even more appropriate! I'm sure in a more customer centered society it would have raised some eyebrows but in Nigeria forget that crap. The customer behaved in a rude manner and got what he deserved, you don't go to Bill Gate's personal page to register your dissatisfaction with Microsoft, you don't go to the Facebook page of the Vice-Chancellor of Unilag to protest your academic result, there are appropriate channels! Mr. Alli's comment was insensitive but not representative of GTB's policies, it's just an opinion of one man!

"There's are 20 BANKS in nigeria...it is not by force"

And people were clapping for this alli man? Even some NLANDERS rationalising such a statement?

We really lack critical thinkers in naija and u wonder why the politicians are strangling this nation?

If this mr. Alli was STILL A DIRECTOR @ GTbank would he make such a statement??

When u go the customer service desk of a bank and mouth off complaining about a problem/transaction on ur account CAN THEY DARE SAY TO YOU: There are 20 banks in nigeria...it's not by force?

The customer is always KING! All of you deserve whatever wrong banks, Indians, lebanese, oil coys and politicians do to u...nigerians frigging deserve it.

I think you are confusing a customer care staff with a member of the board. Most companies elect members of the board from various sources and most of them have little or no prior affiliation with the company. Mr. Alli chose to respond because he had nothing to lose. It's okay for a customer to be rude to the company, product or service but when you attack an individual personally then that individual is allowed to fight back except in the case of customer care staff because they are paid to sweet talk the customer. For a retired board member, he could care less about the feelings of a Twitter menace!

yomz1e:
Very poor attitude from top level, so what do you expect the lower staff to do too, how many times have i been to the bank being attended to and another familiar customer will come in and the spbank staff will push you aside to grovel to another client they know.. In Nigeria bankers don't respect their customers unless you tip them generously.. Especially those BDC hangabouts.... You hear Welcome Alhaji.. . We don't have customer services in this country, in developed countries your manager steps out of line he gets the boot. You suppose to act honourably with integrity as you are the face of the bank. You have to understand the guy who complaint must have been backed to the wall for him to make such statements. Anyways I think as the manger or exmanager he was clearly wrong. Shows his level of intelligence.

Can the manager says this to someone who has over 50million in that GTB bank.., but because this guy is Smallie, he could chat $hit knowing there will be no retribution... Shameful

Read the story again,you do understand the meaning of RETIRED? The guy is free to blast anybody he wants!

dvee2:
Sorry sir, he is not only fighting corruption. Other people that are more knowledgeable than him on economy are handling it well. Like Kemi Adeosun and VP Osimbanjo.

Did you just say that the economy is being handled well? Are you serious? I'm a Buhari supporter but I'm not blind to the degradation of the Nigerian economy, the economy is a joke, the VP is not an economist and Kemi is a nonentity!

We all know what Buhari is trying to do is best for Nigeria but I'm afraid the task is too herculean for him. If he should spend his entire first term recovering stolen loot and prosecuting corrupt leaders then the economy will suffer greatly due to inability to multitask. Buhari with his good intentions might end up looking like a failure in the eyes of the public if he does not tone the recovery effort down and start implementing concrete economic policies. I'm afraid 2019 is fast approaching and some greedy politician is just waiting at the opportunity to use the economy against him in the election.

Everybody keeps worrying about women gaining weight once married but when we look at things closely, men gain just as much. Especially Yoruba men,we become comfortable eating 3 solid meals per day and coming home knowing the women took care of most things domestic. If you see a man that didn't gain weight after several years of marriage, please INVESTIGATE! Such a man is either ill or stressed out by a wicked wife. Furthermore, at least women have genuine excuses such as child bearing and high hormonal imbalance but we men just naturally become comfy and the pot belly gradually begins to form, at the end of the day gaining weight is okay as long as it is not excessive. If a woman is clean,good mannered, dresses sexy and is sexually active, her husband won't resist her even with a little added weight, this is a FACT! The only thing that still manages to baffle me till date is how a man could complain of a woman getting fat when he himself is packing on extra pounds and gradually becomes sexually inefficient

You want to know the reason you can't seem to find the right men, it's simple: In the old days,women did as they were told and were contented with letting the man lead but nowadays women want equality, preferential treatment and authority all in one combo, women nowadays would leave a gentle man because he's too soft,would leave a disciplinarian because he's too harsh, would cheat on a wealthy man because he spends most of his energy making money and would cheat on a broke man because he can't afford her luxuries. Since the beginning of time,women have always played the victim and have been nothing but a weakness for us men yet men still love,they still spend their hard earned money to attract the right female with the hope of starting a family,when men err or becomes tempted to cheat or leave? Is it because of another man or is it caused by a female? Men cheat,women cheat,everyone cheats. It's life, GET OVER IT!

aaronson:
Sorry to say, You so media driven and people like you is the reason the black race would never evolve.

In your myopic view, you trash down my opinion down to ethnicity bias when the Yoruba language is my favourite indigenous language in Nigeria. That's so wrong!

You lack basic knowledge of the positivity I was trying to put out also lack basic sense of self and depends on the Tv to programme your path to life, Actually....that's why its called Tv programme so Enjoy.

It's a shame, I actually thought you were one of those highly educated critics we have in Nigeria until you replied with the hogwash you wrote above. The Black race is not evolving because it is being pulled down by the Black race! You claim to love the Yoruba language yet your main point of critique against Olamide is the fact that most of his songs are not understandable by those outside of Nigeria or those who don't understand Yoruba. I believe you or another one of your entourage stated he should sing in pidgin, so tell me how I should interpret your bias? Now to your final point, I believe my self worth and confidence is at an all time high, how would you know my path in life? Don't tell me you're like majority of Nairalanders always generalizing without context?

aaronson:
Well, As much as I hate the Nigeria music industry and the artistes. Olamide tends to be worst in limelight because he gained popularity off indigenous language and models of Nigeria interactions such as slangs, salutations, Nigeria street appeal, Apparel, photo Pose, Flows and flowery, Misongynistic potray of women and the likes.

So why isn't he recognized internationally.

Reason is those indigenous factors aforementioned is difficult for the international community to understand but it makes sense to Nigerian, Not just any Nigerian but the gullible and half baked educated once, the street hustlers, touts, loosed girls and club house.

As a 21st century man who relies on his brain for responsible living, Olamide is a bad influence to me and youngsters looking up to him. Wizkid and Davido are also bad influences but the difference is they use understandable pidgin/English and mostly sing about love to women , club and burning money but in English so the international community easily understands what they saying.

Warning- To you parents who dream of raising the Einstein, Tesla or Bill Gates of tomorrow then Wizkid, Davido & Olamide are all bad influence to your children.

Not only are you using false innuendos but you are also sounding incoherent! Some of the brightest figures in the world enjoy listening to rap music of Future, Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa and so on, do you mean these artiste offer more intellectually stimulating music than Olamide? Perhaps your biased mindset came from your disconnect with the Yoruba language and that's okay. You are entitled to your opinion, as long as majority of Nigerians are feeling him and he's making massive profits on his music, Olamide could care less about international recognition. He has already been on several tours of the US, Europe and so on, yet you think an award is supposed to stamp his arrival on the international scene, brother stop dulling yourself!

Studies have shown that majority of those who abstained from sex before marriage are much more likely to be less sexually active than those with sexual experience before marriage. This can be a positive and at the same time a negative, so choose your poison

If dollar does not cross 400 Naira by end of the month, I'll be shocked. Allowing true market value means that the government is truly ready for the world to see the Nigerian economy at its face value. This means 360 Naira to 1 Dollar and the worst is yet to come. I believe we would cross 400 Naira to 1 Dollar soon before the market corrects itself hopefully

mightykay:
you are already with the proposal now. I sent you on your post requesting investment and you ve bn communicating me via email.

I thought as much....

Please send a detailed proposal to me via info@globalsynctechnology.com

I'm very intrigued by your passion but I do have a few concerns/questions:

1: You claim to have worked with a company like Shopify? Specifically their marketing campaign? Was that this year? I consulted for them earlier this year through auditing and was wondering why I never heard of your company?

2. You claim your company made six figures U.S Dollars in it's first year and you also bagged your degree within the same time period(According to LinkedIn), how many people are employed in your company?

3. Your website looks to plain for a company that makes six figures in U.S dollars, look into upgrading it to meet the demands of global marketing teams. Seems the website was created less than 6 months ago, why did it take you so long? Especially since you've been earning good amount of income since 2014.

See gum gum people, if he had done something bad or shameful they would all deny him

Any human(man or woman) is capable of being faithful, they are also capable of betrayal. The truth is that most human relationships are based on conditions. A man marries a woman on the condition that she provides acceptable coitus, bears fruits and is loyal. A woman gets married to a man on the condition that he makes her feel loved and cherished, financially capable or at least he tries and his physically capable. When conditions are not met or when expectations are too high chaos happens! There's no such thing as true love among humans, for true love is unconditional and reserved for the truly elite specimen(Titanic, Romeo & Juliet)

We live and learn. My own story is something similar and quite different also, fell in love with a girl I knew nothing about. Like play like play, came to Nigeria to meet her and immediately introduced her to my folks. Within 6 months, introduction done and marriage date set, brought her to the U.S and gbam wahala began! All sorts of lies were discovered thanks to my I.T background including the fact that she uses a fake age, still in a relationship with her supposed ex and her history of abortion. Even after all that, as a responsible guy, sat her down, showed her the plans I had for her. Paid 8k per semester in school fees for her, all with the hope that I can guide her to a comfortable life. Mehn was I wrong! This whacko would skip classes, run up debts on my credit cards and drank all my alcohol. To make things worse, when I confronted her, she would vex and repeat her favorite slogan 'Who send am?" To cut the long story short, she packed her load by herself and never came back. I don't know if it was my parents' prayers or if it was the countless number of good deeds I've done in the past but to God be the glory. When she left I was depressed thinking I'm done with relationship but God works mysteriously. My guy, keep doing good and good will always come your way. See it as a learning experience towards your ultimate destination!

In a country where guns are cheaper than phone bills, where people openly display gay pride and it is shoved down people's throat at the slightest chance. A country where kids are no longer allowed to be scolded by parents and the value of a father is reduced to nothing. In such a country, are we really shocked that some mentally deranged person would go kamikaze? It is ironic, the country with the most opportunity for self empowerment happens to be one of the most deadly and demoralizing place to live in. Cruel world we live in!

Menzy86:
Now you are becoming phylosophical abi? I want to know how Christians get mobbed and decapitated times without number with several active participants and numerous onlookers without a voice of reason prevailing on d situation EVERY TIME. Now u wanna remonstrate about 'high school reasoning?'. If what makes me reason above high school level is understanding that muslims that witness such barbarism but do next to nothing about it rather than vague lip service (like u r doing here now), then I agree I am a kindagarten dunce. I wonder what will happen d day a mosque is blown up by Christians (who will clain responsibility and show their faces). A cartoonist sketches something in far away denmark, they kill christians in kano; someone posts somthn on fb, he is traced all d way from kano to pandogari in niger state and butchered plus SEVERAL other unsuspecting Christians killed and their shops burnt in a twinkle; a woman asks people performing ablution in front of her shop not to do such and she is pounded to death; a man eats during ramadan in his shop and is nearly killed and u expect me to show 'intelligence' or 'maturity' by understanding that d rest muslims aren't enjoying it? How come it is NEVER d other way round? U know d last three examples happened in three different places within a space of 10 days? Use your tongue to count your teeth my friend.

They say knowledge is power, my friend seek knowledge and stop acting based on emotions. All the issues you typed above could easily be linked to the uselessness of the Nigerian government and the lack of enforcement of its laws. In a sane society, a killer is a killer and would be dealt with by the law but in Nigeria, religion, societal influences and outright wickedness runs rampant with us all. Think for a minute, how come in the South we hardly hear of such killings by Muslims? Are we to believe that Muslims in the South don't read the Quran? Are we to believe that Muslims in the North are the true Muslims? Look at countries where terrorism persists, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq., Pakistan, Afghanistan, Niger, Nigeria and so on, what do they have in common? Muslim dominated countries? Yes but if you look closely, you would realize majority of the people in those countries are poor and illiterate. When poverty and illiteracy rules the day, the minds of the masses are easily influenced. You can blame Islam all you want, I guess that would be easier than actually looking at the root cause of Islamic Extremism!

Hahahahaha Hahahahaha, ultimate warriors indeed. You gotta love 9ja, the only truly mad set of people are in the North, they can blow themselves up just to strike fear in people's heart while the Yorubas would never blow anything up but negotiate with anything negotiable, Yorubas no get enemy and finally the comedians(Niger-Deltans)/Biafrans, these ones are chest beaters, gallant warriors of the swamp but they'll never blow themselves up, over calculation too dey worry them. Their own na to collect from Jona, collect from Buhari and keep collecting no matter who or what rules the country. Sharp guys, excellent business model

See as the post is filled with religious inclinations, one might think it came directly from the Pope, I particularly liked the point 'A leopard does not change it's skin'. So using that method of valuation, we can say since most people are sinful, they should be condemned to hell because they can never change! Funke is no longer a young girl, neither is her man. They do not need advise from someone watching from afar, clueless of the mechanics behind their relationship!

Some people are just daft, everyone knows that a polygamous household is always full of turbulence. while the first two wives died under unusual conditions, there is nothing unusual about the third wife's death. Diabetes is a dangerous disease and in Nigeria many people do not manage it well. From our fatty and salty diet to alcohol and self medication.Even Jide Kosoko is suffering from the same illness.

The problem with the Northern part of Nigeria remains its leaders. They seem either delusional or completely numb to the value of lives. Human lives should be sacred, in a sane society you cannot decapitate or murder someone and go scot free. In a sane society religion does not give you the right to exercise jungle justice, El-Rufai and the other leaders are guilty of being nonchalant and outright competent!

I support total annihilation of all terrorist group or individuals since these clowns have shown us they are no longer small militants but full blown terrorists. I'm glad they've identified their targets and I hope they have the insight to remember some of their brothers and sisters work in those buildings, just like Boko Haram, I doubt these guys care if their fellow Niger-Deltans are part of the collateral damage.

SirREX94:
You see why they are to be left on their own, until when they are ''developed'', and are able to ''tolerate'' others. But some will not learn!

We can't just abandon them, we have to stop the radicalization and make Nigeria better as a whole not just develop some parts and forget the rest. This is why militant groups like Avengers thrive, poverty and neglect!

muhamadnur:
la ikraha fiddin, no compulsion in religion, there is no 1 forcing the other to accept islam, but saying ill agaisnt the holy prophet is completely unacceptable. And mind you just bcoz i havent been in western skul does nt make 1 illiterate. And all nigerians are living in poverty.

There's no compulsion in religion but what is prevalent in the North is the intimidation and outright cruelty to people of other religion. Burning churches, houses and destroying lives is not the way to solve problems. If someone speaks ill of a prophet, does that give anyone the right to kill or injure that person? This is where illiteracy comes in, the proper education resolves 50% of the problem. We cannot create a life without the blessing of Allah, so why take such a life?

dauntless15:
how many people are killing in the name of christ as Islamists do in the Name of whatever. world war wasnt a religious war, it was a fight for control ask google as well and several countries participated, all this sects i mentioned especially al queda has countless members and they all give thanks to thier god before blowing everyone up. even innocent people who were there by chance, why do you guys have so much penchant for killing? there are several means of conflict resolution but your kind always choose violence and killing why?

Now you're just blabbering! The fact that people killed and died in the name of Christianity is enough proof that violence is not synonymous with just one religion. Now if Al-Qaeda, ISIS and Boko Haram were killing only Christians I would say you have a point but seeing that they've killed numerous Muslims along with Christians, I see no reason to entertain your ridiculous theories! Now the bold part of your comment confuses me? I never referred to World War, so what are you talking about? Please read up on the Holy Crusades, Adolf Hitler and the Jewish Holocaust then come back and show me what you learned!

daddyrich:
until you learn to have sense and be reasonable with your life, nobody will ever meet you.

opportunities always smile at those who distinguish themselves from the crowd.

This dapper windscreen washer has emerged from the crowd hence the spotlight.

Stop being counted among the millions of unemployed graduates. stand up and stand out!

Where do Nairaland recruit animals like you from? You just believe you can talk to anyone on social media anyhow just because you are fortunate enough to have a phone and enough MB left to browse, are you mad? Who the hell is Ben Murray Bruce when I can meet Johnny Isakson and David Perdue easily? Better stay in your lane!

glossy6:
Sorry I said Muslims, I ought to specify northern Muslims because we don't have issues with the southern Muslims but those mofos up north no be am .

Now you're talking! I also agree that most Northern Muslims have been radicalized, the only way for them to become enlightened is for the government to develop the area and educate them. The youths are enslaved to the clerics and elders and there's no end to the daily radicalization because government is non existent!

dauntless15:
you that have sense how many times have you seen a Christian terrorist organization? boko haram majority Muslims, al queda majority muslims, shitte majority muslim, isis majority Muslims, Fulani massacre una join, idiot tell your archaic religion to practice peace for a change

Just because you are privileged to be in the era of modernization doesn't mean you should be ignorant of the world's violent history! Some of the biggest crimes against people of other religion were committed by Christians, a simple search on Google would enlighten you but that's not even the point! A religion of over 1 Billion people is bound to have radicals and people willing to exploit the faith. All the organizations you mentioned above have less than 100 million members, so I guess the remaining 900 million are just pretending to be peaceful ****

glossy6:
And you Muslims see anything wrong when you attack the Christian religion abi? You people insulted Christ times without numbers and all that we revere. Am not holding brief for the alleged blasphemer but Muslims use that to settle scores. We have forgotten the murdered Gombe teacher whose female students accused her of touching the Qur'an because she prevented them from cheating in the exam.



egbe eeegbe piakpu kwa gi isi
shatap according to Zebrudaya

Would you stop with your hasty generalization please! If Nigeria truly enforced its laws and human lives are valued, things like this won't happen regardless of religion! There are good and bad Muslims out there just like we have good and bad Christians, no need to make it seem like one is worse than the other. If religion was truly to blame, wouldn't Southern Muslims be just as radical? This alone shows you that the problem in the North is far beyond religion!
