Career / Am Still Young O!!! Really? by Brytawon(m): 10:21am On Jan 27, 2016
Where and when did we exactly get it wrong?
This question has become some sort of cliché of
lamentation when considering many areas of
failures in Nigeria. Interestingly, this question
presupposed a time when we got it right. This
question pops up again in my mind after my chat
with a 300 level Nigerian undergraduate. In this
instance, the cliché borders on the sense of
responsibility vis-a-vis the age of responsibility
and its spiritual and social consequences.

I inquired of a 300 level student what her plans
were after graduation and Youth service and her
answer was typical of some Nigerian students,
which was “Ah plans ke? Am still young o.” She
was twenty/nineteen years old. She was right,
she was young but was she that young as to not
have a good plan about the next three years of
her life? It got me thinking again, at what age do
we accept responsibility in Nigeria? No doubt,
there is relativeness of age, by that I mean,
there are circumstances when a 70 year old will
be considered young and 40 year old will be
considered too old. This age relativity is
everywhere. Marco Rubio, a senator of the
republican party of the United States of America
and an aspirant for the presidential ticket is by
my judgement the most brilliant of the republican
candidates. But the rumor on the street is that
he is too young to become a president, he may
be a vice – president and learn the ropes. He is
44 years old. The feeling is that, the country is
not ready for another Obama-like age group as a
president. However, he has taken up the
responsibility of marriage since 1998, when he
was age, 27 and was a member of house of
representative since 2,000, when he was age
29/30.

Martin Luther king Jr, was assassinated at the
age of 39, he had led the Montgomery bus
boycott at the age of 26, (1955), he delivered his
“I have a dream” speech at the age of 34. 1963,
he was at that age a force in the large American
society. Martin Luther was already a father of
four children before his death. There are millions
of Marco Rubio and Martin Luther around the
world, who have set their priorities early in life
and took up responsibilities with both hands.

If the above stories are far from us, let us come
home to the story of the recently enthroned Ooni
of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Adewusi, on whose hands
and custody rest the tradition of a whole race,
the Yoruba race. He was forty years old. He
couldn’t have been Ooni only because he was a
successful business magnate. In addition, he had
responsibility of a family which he had early
enough and even earlier than socially accepted,
by that, he trained himself to be responsible, to
lead and to be taken seriously as someone ready
to engage the world.

My intention is not to fill up this piece with lots
of young financially successful men and women
but rather to begin to deconstruct this popular
fallacious idea among Nigerian young adult, “Am
still young” and begin to create a sense of
urgency that “tempus fugit”. Many of our parents
who may not have been popular like the Ooni of
ife, Martin Luther king and Marco Rubio had the
same sense of urgency like these men. At the
age of 25/26/27, they were students (studying
abroad or University of Ibadan), workers (even
menial jobs on the streets of London) husbands
or wives, and were even paying their parents bills
back at home.

It is so disturbing these days when you meet
young men in their thirties, some of whom lack
creativity, waiting for government job vacancies
and had no plans about raising families. This is
not because they hope to be celibate but
because they believe they are still young.
Whereas in other climes, at age of 18 or 21, you
are considered old enough to be responsible for
yourself. And if I am right, Nigeria recognizes 18
years as the voting age and 21 years as the
University graduation age.

This is the logic, our parents were not self -
sufficient before they entered into marriage in
their mid-twenties and late twenties. However,
they knew rightly that with their little income
with which they paid their school fees, feed
themselves, care for their child, and send little to
their parents, that marriage straightens you up,
put some challenges on your plate and makes
you grow faster. As such, if God blesses one’s
plans and efforts, and one is done with the hard
work of raising children early enough, one can sit
back and be relaxed during their retirement. The
point is that they (our parents) had plans, that
was why some of them that entered into politics
and the military were ready to lead in their early
thirties and mid- thirties.

The consequence of lack of early involvement in
responsibility is obvious in our politics and
governance. There were not many in the likes of
Dimeji Bankole who was a speaker in his thirties.
Rather we had leaders who were in their sixties
and seventies. As such a Man in his late
twenties in a political office other than a
personal assistant will be strange.

This in return has created an atmosphere where
men in their thirties are still considered ‘boys’ or
youths, whereas in other climes, they are called
young adults. This problem is also reflected in
Church’s age categorization, where a youth
president is a man in his late thirties and an
ordained priest in his thirties is considered too
young to lead a parish. So when will these
people grow? The irony here is that, mid- age in
Nigeria should have shifted from 40/50 to 25
because life expectancy has shortened to 49. A
twenty five year old man or woman in our clime
because of our health infrastructural problems
should be considered mid- age and matured.

Statistics have shown that many young Nigerian
men in their mid- thirties will likely use their
retirement benefits to raise their last child. A
man that marries at the age of 35 years, with
plan for three children (if God permits) and a two
year space period will likely have his last child
when he turns 39/40. Many children finish
university education at the age of 21, if he/she
gains admission at 17. At this point the father is
60/61. If he is a government employee, he should
be retired. What this means is that any prolonged
schooling or delayed admission for the last child
can put the innocent child at risk of some
financial stress. This scenario can be worse
financially, if schooling is two or more years
delayed. Moreover, mentally and biologically,
parenting becomes more difficult at a certain
age. This is obvious at times in the children
raised by grand-parents, because mental
alertness is reduced, compact parenting is
challenged and children are raised “spoilt.” Eli
was a holy man but his sons were scoundrels.
His rebuke about their Promiscuities were futile
because he was too old. (cf. 1 Sam, 2:22).

Raising a family for those that will choose such
life is never about self –sufficiency; nothing like
that exists. It is about getting serious with life
early enough with sense of urgency because
time flies! Whatever is worth doing at all, is
worth planning for. Many lay the blame of their
irresponsibility on the inability of government to
provide Jobs, these are people still going through
dependent- syndrome. Even a blind man can see
that the country is messed up. Government job
opportunities are non- existent as at now but, it
is also said, scarcity is the mother of invention.

This “am still young” syndrome, has translated
into having too many ‘babies” in their late
twenties, late thirties among Nigerian men and
women who are therefore not trained and
prepared for responsibility and leadership on a
big stage.

To avoid the repeated problems of accidental
leaders in our country and delayed leadership by
the young adult, we need men and women who
set out early enough and plan to take up
responsibility. Those who are responsible for and
with their own lives, thus train themselves to
take up responsibility in the larger community.

Aristole said “Men who will lead the people
should first lead themselves.” If Gen. Yakubu
Gowon was 32 when he became Head of States,
Chief Awolowo became premier at 43, Chief
Anthony Enahoro moved a motion for Nigeria
independence in 1953 at 30 years old, then you
can do the same. Many notable world leaders
made innovative discoveries around this age.
Infact, David was 30 years when he became a
king, (2 Sam, 5:4). Jesus Christ started his
mission at the age of 30 years. (Lk 3:23). The
bible says … Lacks experience of the word of
righteousness for he is a child, but solid food is
for the mature, for those whose faculties are
trained by practice to discern good and
evil’ (Heb. 5:13-14).

So what are you waiting for? Grow up brother/sister!!!

Career / Female Bank Marketers, Unholy Targets And The Sleaze by Brytawon(m): 7:52am On Jan 24, 2016
The quest to survive in the uncertain labour market has pitched female bank marketers between meeting their targets and immoral activities. In this report SINA FADARE x-rays the contending issues

Ogechi Obiora studied Economics at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Naturally, she was full of hope of getting a good job after her youth service, having attended one of the best universities in the country, but after staying at home for about three years, reality dawned on her. The jobs just weren’t available. She became desperate and ready to take any job, just to keep body and soul together.

She was introduced to a consortium that offered her a contract job in one of the latter generation banks as a marketer. At first, she was happy; at least she would no longer be a burden on her relations, whom she was leaving with in Lagos.

But after two years on the job, the zeal and enthusiasm seem to have disappeared, and she is desperate for another job. Sharing her story with The Nation, Ogechi who thought this reporter might be of help judging by his appearance at a friend’s office said, “My brother the job is no longer interacting.”

Pretending not to understand her plight, this reporter probed further the reason Ogechi, who obviously works with a reputable bank, going by her corporate appearance and posturing, would want to abandon certainty for uncertainty. But she looked straight into this reporter’s face and said, “This marketing job has not met my expectation.”



According to her, she was given a huge target to meet in terms of customers, whose accounts she was expected to attract to the bank, a situation she says always puts her on her toes; and which has also made a lot of men to see her as a sex object.

More frustrating, Ogechi said, is the fact that some of her contemporaries on the job, who ‘know their ways’ have exceeded their targets and have been given permanent employment status in the bank on the recognition that they ‘are hard working’, not minding what they have gone through. She said a lot of her colleagues go through a lot at the hands of Casanova corporate guys and businessmen, who just want their backs on the bed before they even considered opening an account with their bank.

Bolu Adeola (not real name) is so popular among her colleagues in one of the banks on Broad Street; although no-one could say it to her face; she has a reputation as a go-getter when it comes to attracting huge customers to the bank, ranging from big time senators to top oil chief executives. Tall, fair skinned and a paragon of beauty, this reporter leant that Adeola uses her assets maximally to her advantage, hence the bank cannot afford to lose her.

Said one of the regulatory officers in her bank, “She can penetrate any corporate world and come out with a good result.” Her success is so unprecedented that many of her colleagues and superiors have concluded that there certainly is more to her success story than she’s telling. With the aura of luxury around her and the sleek, exotic automobiles at Adeola’s possession, many simply conclude that the Business Administration graduate of Delta State University is deep into corporate prostitution.

A dependable source within the bank told this reporter that she was even promoted twice within a year, a situation that has turned her into an object of jealousy and envy among her marketing colleagues. “She used what she has to get what she wants, that is what the banking industry has been become.” The source said.

To Uche Okoro, a marketer with an old generation bank in Ikeja, Lagos however, the argument that successful bank marketers are into corporate prostitution is neither here nor there. “Do you want to tell me that you journalists are not the worst culprits?” He asked pointedly, “Particularly broadcast reporters who are warming the beds of top executives of blue chip companies to get advertisement. So why are you crucifying us?” She queried.

Uche who did not confirm or deny whether as a marketer she has been a victim of corporate prostitution emphatically said, “There is no university that will teach you how to be an efficient marketer; when you get to the field, you are going to navigate your way to get your desired goal whether by sleeping or not sleeping with anybody.”

She however does not rule out the fact that most of the banks deliberately recruit pretty ladies to attract customers. “Seven years ago when l joined the banking industry, it was obvious that they had hidden agenda because they did not mince words. ‘Go over there and woo new customers with all that you have’ were the words from our supervisor, who told us that we were lucky to get the job because it was competitive.”

“More agonising was the fact that some of us who were sent to Abuja at the inception of the 7th National Assembly, were specifically briefed to woo senators and members of the House of Representatives to open accounts with our bank. Before we knew it, it became a rival race with other banks with similar motive, and some of us soon found ourselves on their beds in desperate attempts to secure good bargaining.” She explained.

Though she did not confirm the extent of her involvement, she pointed out that the members of the National Assembly then felt their presence so much so, that “most of them saw female bankers as preys they must sleep with before being convinced to bank with us.”

“Some of our colleagues eventually became second or third wives to some of these politicians, when the chips were down. That is why you’d see most of them with kids; but they could not sustain the relationship because most of the ’emergency husbands’ went back to their bases after the Abuja sleaze.” She explained

Nkiru Obiano’s (not real name) case was not only funny but pathetic; she got a third class at the University of Port Harcourt in Business Administration and was happy to be given a job as a marketer in one of the old generation banks in the port city university. She was however shocked to find out that her sustenance on the job depended largely on the number of customer she could attract to the bank.

Against this backdrop, she vowed to work aggressively hard and make sure she met up with the expectation of her employers. But on getting to the field, she realised that it was a different ball game entirely.

Speaking in an emotion-laden voice, the pretty ex-marketer said she got the shock of her life on the field because virtually all the targeted clients, who were mostly oil magnates, wanted to sleep with her before having anything to do with her bank.

“Out of frustration, coupled with the fact that I was running out of time on my target, l decided to give in to a young guy, who introduced himself as an IT consultant to one of the oil companies. He took his time after more pressure from me to agree to move one of his accounts to our bank. Before l knew it, l was warming his bed for almost a week, with a promise that as soon as he was off shore, he would give me a cheque to open a new account with my bank.

“I almost fainted when l realised that he had issued me a bounced cheque. To make matters worse, l could not get him on phone and by the time l got back to his hotel, he had given a standing order that I should not be allowed in, that l was one of those disturbing him. Now to how many people would l tell my story and not look stupid?” She lamented.

Obiano who is now a teacher in one of the private secondary schools in Lagos pointed out that it was a turning point in her life and an experience that will remain green in her memory for life.

The above are just a few of the unsavoury experiences of female bank marketers whose task it is to market their banks’ products and services and attract customers or get sacked with ignominy for under-performance.

The Nation’s investigation also revealed that some commercial banks deliberately sent marketers, mostly females after the newly-elected senators and members of the House of Representatives in Abuja during last year’s induction of the 8th National Assembly, a situation that had majority of them flooding the International Conference Centre, venue of the ceremony.

Most of them were smartly dressed and offered loan opportunities which their bank can guaranteed with minimal interest.

The Nation gathered that over 290 members of the House are newcomers, out of the total of 360. In the Senate, about 69 of the 109 senators are also newcomers.

Some of the marketers had arrived Abuja even before the lawmakers, with specific instructions to get as many lawmakers as possible onto their list of clientele, since some of them would need soft loans from any quarters to sort out their logistic problems before accessing their allowances.

A legislator who spoke to The Nation on condition of anonymity said the marketers did not give the lawmakers any breathing space, as they were all over the Congress Hall of the hotel for quick business.

One supervisor in one of the new generation banks, who simply identified himself as Tony, said the banks are not doing anything unusual, because some of the lawmakers have a duration of four years to spend in the nation’s capital. “Therefore, they can be granted quick loans to enable them sort out their logistics and pressing needs. By so doing, they can be wooed to open an account with us.”

Tony pointed out that banks are only strategising, not only to have new customers but to catch in on the fact that some of the new lawmakers might have spent a lot of money in the process of their electioneering campaign and “therefore are likely to have accommodation challenges before their official quarters are ready. Some will also need to buy new vehicles that befits their new stature, so they need our services, just as we need theirs.’

Lawmakers to the rescue?

Perhaps irked by the dangerous trend the situation was attaining, the House of Representatives late last year accused banks in the country of encouraging prostitution by setting unrealistic targets for their female marketers.

Hon. Segun Alexander Adekola, who sponsored the motion entitled, “Urgent Need to Curb Unwholesome Practices of Banks in Nigeria,” said staffers who don’t meet the largely unrealistic targets are summarily dismissed.

Adekola who represents Ekiti South, West/Ikere/Ise/Osun in the green chamber said: “A critical assessment of the targets being given to these employees to meet, show them to be unrealistic, unreasonable, ordinarily unattainable and irrational.

“But these banks resort to unethical means to ensure that these targets are met by either explicitly or impliedly (sic) encouraging their staff, especially the female ones to engage in illicit behaviour.”

Contributing to the motion, which culminated in a long debate, Hon. Rita Orji said in some cases, bankers who failed to meet targets were sacked through text messages.

House Majority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, recalled that he made an attempt to stop the practice with his Corporate Prostitution Bill presented in the Sixth Assembly, saying that the bill got to the stage of a public hearing, but some bankers shot it down.”

Gbajabiamila, who expressed disappointment that top female bankers equally raised objections to the bill, noted that some of the international affiliates of the local banks wouldn’t attempt to send their staff out to solicit for funds in their home countries.

Citing Section 34 of the constitution which protects Nigerians from inhuman and downgrading treatment, he said the motion was timely, as it would draw attention to the undignified treatment bankers are being put through.

The Majority Leader lamented that “Marriages have been wrecked and homes destroyed because of this practice and I am sure that none of us here will allow our daughters to be involved in this.”

Speaking in the same vein, Senator Suleiman Nazif who represents Bauchi North in the senate regretted that the economic adversity in the country has turned female bankers into chippies just to survive, adding that these have resorted to numerous unethical practices in a desperate bid to enhance their capital base.

Nazif pointed out that there is an urgent need to unleash an earthquake of unprecedented stringent policies from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on the banking industry, to mandate commercial banks to stop this immoral marketing strategy and also impose fines on banks that default.

Corroborating the fear of the lawmakers, a director in one of the latter generation banks who spoke to The Nation on condition of anonymity, regretted that the banking sector has degenerated to such a level.

According to him the situation became uncontrollable when the Central Bank raised its deposits by banks, a situation that forced majority to merge and employ various strategies to outwit others, “since we are all in the open market where competition is very high.’

Nazif also said “Both married women and single ladies were forced into this corporate prostitution. They either complied or stood the risk of losing their jobs. These bank staff, especially the ladies turned the whole business into a personal affair and ‘business-love’ relationship as they sleep with one client after the other. They were all given financial targets to meet individually; failure in which they lose their job. It is not a funny thing and this form of prostitution brought problems into lots of relationships and marriages.”

If the lawmakers are worried about the ugly trend, human rights activists are in sober reflection.

CEO, LEAH Foundation and first lady Kwara State, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed who condemned the act regretted that the aim of recruiting these female marketers is to serve the selfish interest of their employers.

According to her, “These ladies are given unrealistic targets to meet. In a bid to meet the targets and particularly keep their jobs, these ladies are consequently forced or led into prostitution with potential customers.”

She pointed out that all hands should be on deck to salvage the ugly trend, adding that likes minds should provide a panacea to preserve the woman from losing her dignity on the platform of employment.

Stakeholders however believe that the situation on ground can be salvaged if all hands were on deck. At a recent seminar organised by the section on Legal practice of the Nigerian Bar Association, in Lagos on the theme, “The Reality of Women’s Rights in Nigeria’, the conference agreed that women should wake up from their slumber and confront the ugly trend holistically.

Speaking at the seminar, an executive director in Access Bank, Mrs. Titi Osuntoki argued that there is no bank that would go all out to recruit marketers for prostitution. She added that there are lots of organisations that do not have a clear-cut policy on sexual harassment of their female workers.

She argued that “The loss of moral values in the society has led to erosion of our cherished culture that protects our women in all ramifications. Therefore, if you have an environment that does not place limits or boundaries on exploitation, this is the type of thing you are bound to witness.”

Health / The 7 Dangerous Acts After Meal by Brytawon(m): 12:54pm On Jan 23, 2016
*Don't Smoke- Experiment from experts proves
that smoking a cigarette after meal is
comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances
of cancer is higher).

*Don't eat fruits immediately- When you eat
your fruits with meals, the fruit is stuck in the
stomach along with the contents of the meals
and cannot reach the intestines in time. Lying
there they get spoilt and spoil the remaining food
in the stomach too. Thus it is recommended that
you eat a fruit at least one hour after eating a
meal or before your meal and preferably in the
morning with empty stomach. It is in the morning
that the body can best use the nutrients in the
fruit and get enough energy to start the day.

*Don't drink tea- Because tea leaves contain a
high content of acid. This substance will cause
the Protein content in the food we consume to
be hardened thus difficult to digest. It is
preferable to drink tea an hour after meals.

*Don't loosen your belt- Fiction, not particularly
bad for you! We generally have an attitude that a good meal is that which forces us to loosen our belts.
However, loosening the belt is bad, not because
it causes the intestines to twist or block but
because it means that you have over eaten to a
level that you are uncomfortable. Loosening of
the belt may also cause you to feel comfortable
once again which means you may continue
overeating. So eat only to the extent that you can be
comfortable without loosening your belt!

*Don't bathe- Bathing after meal will cause the
increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body
thus the amount of blood around the stomach
will therefore decrease. This will weaken the
digestive system in our stomach.

*Don't walk about- Fact, it is bad for you!
Walking directly after meals is a bad idea, it can
result to acid reflux and indigestion. However,
walking about half an hour after meals is known
to be good for you. Researchers in the
Department of Exercise Science at the University
of South Carolina, have found that walking after
exercise is a good way to burn energy.
The point to note is when to walk, you should
ideally walk for about 10 minutes and only 20-30
minutes after meal to prevent acid reflux and
stomach upsets.

*Don't sleep immediately- The food we intake
will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead
to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Literature / Life As An Investment by Brytawon(m): 11:04am On Jan 21, 2016
Today, I have two stories for you. Both of them are true.

Here's the first one:
Maxwell Morrison was well and truly screwed. He was standing in a courtroom in Bangkok, waiting for his sentence. The offence was drug trafficking, and if found guilty, the sentence would be life in one of the most horrific prisons in the world. The problem was that Maxwell was innocent. the drugs had been found stashed in a musical instrument he had agreed to carry through the checkpoint for a woman who had appeared to have her hands full with a baby, two young children and a whole lot of hand luggage.

Of course, the moment the sniffer dogs singled him out for special attention, the woman and her children evaporated into thin air.

He had tried to explain this to the judge in his super-fast-track case, which had so far lasted less than 45 minutes, but the prosecution had countered by pointing out that it would take a very stupid person indeed to be suckered into carrying anything through a security checkpoint for a stranger -especially in this modern post- 9/11 world. They had also pointed out that back home in Nottingham, Maxwell was a police
officer. A security expert, who could never be as naïve as he was now pretending to be. Maxwell's only counter-argument to that had been,

"Appearances can be deceptive". The Judge had given him the strangest look when he said that.

No, things were certainly not going well for him in this case. His only witness had been a British passenger who had seemed a bit drunk during her testimony. She admitted she had seen the woman hand the instrument to Maxwell, but added that they appeared to be travelling together. Again, Maxwell's defence was, "Appearances can be deceptive".

He remembered with irony the first time he had actually heard the expression "Appearances can be deceptive". It was in the eighties. He was a teenager going through a punk rock phase. He wore nothing but black, had multiple body piercings and was always playing with a scary-looking flip-knife. All the kids in school were afraid of him and steered well clear. One
afternoon when he was enjoying some peace and quiet behind the boat shed, listening to Grateful Dead on his walkman, he heard a commotion.

Three kids were bullying a foreign student. They were about to throw the little kid into the river, and the poor boy kept crying, "Please! Please, I can't swim!"

Maxwell intervened. At first, the three bullies wanted to fight it out, but Maxwell was a good three inches taller than the tallest of them. Plus, he had his knife, and he made them believe he was happy to use it. So they dropped the little foreign boy and went off to find a new victim.

Maxwell asked the relieved kid if he was alright. The boy adjusted his glasses, looked at Maxwell for a long moment and said, "Appearances can be deceptive".

"Why do you say that?" Maxwell asked.

"Well, everybody thinks you're scary. Some kids even said you stabbed a teacher once. You're the last person I'd have expected to come to my aid. But thank you for doing so. I would have drowned if you hadn't. In Thailand where I come from, you owe the person who saves your life an eternal debt which you spend the rest of your life paying back. My name is Tran Pack, and I will never forget what you did for me." With that, he shook Maxwell's hand and ran off.

Back in the Bangkok courtroom, Maxwell allowed himself a wry smile as he recalled that childhood episode. Thirty years after he saved a Thai kid's life, he was now a 45-year old policeman, about to spend the rest of his own life in a Thai prison, all because appearances can be deceptive. He snapped out of his reflections as the judge banged his gavel three times. It was time for the verdict.


And that's where I'll end the first story.

Here's the second story.
Judge Tran Pack could not believe his eyes when Maxwell Morrison walked into his courtroom. Thirty two years had not done much to change his appearance, so Tran recognised him at once. He listened patiently for 45 minutes and then banged his gavel three times before giving the verdict. "Mr Morrison, appearances can indeed be deceptive. Not guilty. You're free to go."

And that is the end of the second story.

My people, I know I don't need to say much more about the lessons from these two stories. As you live your lives, please take every opportunity to do something unforgettable for someone who can't pay you back today.

They'll pay you back tomorrow with interest. Kindness is not a debt you pay, but its an investment you make.
