I have a two month old Lhasa... Can we chat off here?

Haba mana!
Cover your mattress with a sheet na.
Your dog is fine and you are fine too . Sadly, I talk to strangers in public only. My mama's warning there.

ElPadrino33:
That's why it's our opinion and not yours, respect it. There's no need to call anyone crazy.

Did I read where you wrote 'respect' in your post?

Guy, take my advice, I'm not charging you a dime for it:

GET THE PICTURE OF AN ELDERLY WOMAN FROM WHEREVER YOU CAN SOURCE FOR IT - YOUR VILLAGE, YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, INCLUDING GOOGLE, ENLARGE IT AND PASTE ON YOUR WALL!

Do it and you'll earn respect because it will be oozing out of you.

Thanks.

But since the DB manager can link the fraudster to fidelity bank, I blive they can get all his personal details from there including address nd full name, why cnt they trace him home or let the security agents do that... It's a pity sha.. Imagine this old woman

Femi, this submission of yours sounds nice but it's not that easy. The fraudster isn't a DB customer to start with. The money was wired to ANOTHER bank.

Banks owe their costumers duty of confidentiality. Just because the money has been traced to Fidelity doesn't mean at the drop of a hat, Fidelity should give out the KYC form to Diamond bank. Due process must be followed, they'll need to carry out their own investigations first.

Fraud is very sensitive. I've seen refunds happen many times because Fraud desk is unsure of the nature of a transaction and the narration is unclear.

My only problem with this case is that it lingered for too long with no remarkable progress/result. It can be resolved. The bank should work towards it.

Abeg make the woman go rest, she should be wiser next time. Age or ignorance shouldn't be an excuse

Rolly looks like a teddy bear. She looks younger than her age though, or is it me looking at her with another eye

The 11month puppy is bigger.

captainking:
Meet scot... About 4 weeks. Or not even upto that... Lovely dog..

You're a fine guy o, it's a pity you have a dog

You would have been the lovely one now

BoleAndFish:
Na so. Until you meet a prospective customer who's ready to give you 20 milla but insists you meet him in his house.

Lol.

Kill me already!

Temilayhor:
This one is strong o....you can always call nah...oya keep your dog o

Lol. I can but won't
Dogs shouldn't be 'owned' as pets but as security guards

Temilayhor:
I am still scared of dogs....even puppies.

Mine is worse than fear.

Just keep a dog in your house and I'll never come near there.

See that poor kid now. *sigh

YommyukGB:
Age discrimination at its highest

Not at all. The earlier the better, so as to beat retirement age.

Juliette05:
the way you are quoting CBN eh?

It's banking we are talking about here. If I don't quote CBN, who then should I quote?

Where is the opportunity to upgrade?

They work till late. They don't have time to go to school. Even on weekends, they are either on one compulsory training or on ATM duty.

If you have the desire, nothing will be impossible for you!

That's all I can say.

Hi OP, I understand your plight perfectly well and I wish to sympathize with you based on what you or others may be going through at this time.

Contract staffing is very much recognized and advised in banking and it is supported by Central Bank. It's not a practice that started today though, it's an age old practice. In every banking hall, there MUST be a certain number of people who are to be employed as contract staff and another fraction who must be core staff and the roles these different sets of people play is well defined by the regulatory body.

Whether good or bad, depends on the organization where you find yourself. I don't want to talk about how they are treated or how they are disengaged, I however want to talk about what I've observed in some.

You know about age requirement in banking and you know that CBN has an approved age a staff can be at a level. For instance, I see some 30 year olds as Executive Trainees in a bank either as a core staff or as a contract staff, I find this totally worrisome! And it's not like it isn't obvious to these people, they think it's okay to be at that level at that age and make excuses for their banks saying "promotion window has been shut for sometime now". If the window is shut, did they also shut the doors? CBN frowns at having bankers who are trying to make the profession look like a joke. In fact, right now, at a certain level in banking if you are not a member of CIBN you are only cheating yourself.

Again, most contract staff are OND and HND holders, some join banking between the ages of 26 & 28, they start earning and forget about upgrading and the ones who remember to upgrade academically, start at age 30 - 35. The question I'm tempted to ask is, does the person want to be a GM at 70?

How about those who have first degree and fall within the right age bracket, you may want to know. I say to those ones, port! The maximum anyone should spend in a position in banking is 3 years. If you find yourself stagnant where you are, develop yourself and move. Look around you, ask most senior management staff who have over 10 years industry experience about their career and at least 80% of them will tell you they've worked in at least 3-5 banks before they got to where they now are. Be wise too, help yourself. Your career is in your hands.

A lot of contract staff make this mistake until they become unemployable and the system is forced to remove and replace them. I can say it isn't fair but they many times put themselves in the position to be exploited.

I know a handful of guys who from contract staff got converted to professional staff. I've heard of many others who sadly, were asked to leave. Don't let it get to you, like someone told me recently, 'if you know what you're doing in banking, when you leave banking, you should know where the money is in the economy'.

In other words, you've been exposed to businesses and business owners, you should be able to tell your next direction of focus after you've shaken off the 'cruelty' of a system you were loyal to.

Now that you're here, what next?
Soldier come, Soldier go, barrack remain.

Wish First bank well and leave. After five years, if you channel your energy right, they'll come market you

DanXplore:
Ok, i understand.
Thanks!

You're welcome.

Know this, career advice is not a one size fits all kind of thing. As much as I know, in the end the choice is left for you to make and whichever you choose, stick with it and stay true to it for as long as it lasts.

Success wishes.
Goodnight.

Lol. I couldn't even quote the post where I was mentioned because I don't qualify

You guys should pity me Na when you mention my moniker with monikers of my ogas on this forum. It is when they say walk! that I walk

With that fact established, DanXplore, I honestly won't want to lead you astray as I have never been to or studied in the UK yet. I'm also not an engineering graduate. Today, I advised a 21 year old graduate of Accounting to go for his Masters degree immediately and it was easier to do after considering his very good result and his flair for books. It was also that easy for me because I knew deep down the kid is hungry for more knowledge in that field and he has age to be thankful for, he was just looking for a few nods, I gave mine.

However, for you and your experience, infact your profile has made it a bit difficult for me to say 'go or stay'. I'll call on some passionate engineers I know here to take up the assignment from me, those who are not engineers know what studying outside Nigeria after working a few years at home is like studying overseas.
