Coldspice:Lol. You're pained because you are working in a polytechnic right ? I get cos once Government close all those mushroom Polytechnics you might be out of job. You are right my problem is not the institution, neither is it the Government nor is it the unsuspecting students that go to Polytechnics. My problem is people like you who tell people to blame village people after spoiling peoples lives by giving them wrong advice due to your selfish reasons. You want to keep eating from peoples ignorance and sweat and tell them school doesn't matter I'm fortunate today because Nigerian Polytechnics didn't get a hold on me and i will advice others not to enter their trap. Maybe you teach in a polytechnic a.k.a slave camp but trust me, very soon your school will be scraped and unsuspecting students will be free from your grip. Mr Fortunatus 1 Like |

jaeyking:You don't get my point? I have friends who started as support staff with BSC and today all have gotten a better offer with another bank. Can't say the same for my colleagues who started banking with HND. Very few got a better offer. Most were turned down at interview stage due to HND. BSC and HND won't guarantee jobs but out of two people, if one have HND and the other has BSC and both have same experience, the one with BSC will have an edge in getting a better offer |

Coldspice:Even though i know there is always an exemption to a norm, the example you quoted are very few, for every one of your uncle who got managerial position with HND, i will show you hundreds of BSC holders who got same. I will also show you thousands of HND holders who did not even though they are good. Tech space is dynamic bro. Many HND holders are not in tech. Majority are slaves in all the top tier banks. You mentioned Wema. I'm talking about all the tier 1 banks like Zenith, First bank, Access, GTb and UBA. That your uncle won't get such positions in these banks. 2 Likes |

jaeyking:I agree with some of your comments but setting up yourself for failure by going to Polytechnics should be discouraged. Because some others were fortunate doesn't mean many will be. I've seen support staff with years of experience earn 160k which their BSC counterparts from training school earn around 300k with other allowances. Which is better? I know we need to pray to God but let's put in a good job first. A good job here is learning a good trade well or going to the University. Ask yourself, the lecturers teaching in Polytechnics did they get the job with only their HND? Many later went to university to get a proper Degree when they saw that there was no hope in the useless HND but won't advice new students to avoid time wasting because it's all about money. Many polytechnic lecturers tell their children not to come to Polytechnics but don't advice other people's children not to do same which is wrong. I'm not saying once you get BSC you will have job but you have set a fine foundation. If you want to build a house, once the foundation is good you can build on it anytime and it will stand but when the foundation is bad, anything you build on it will collapse. Most HR in Nigerian Banks that i know, won't treat someone that started his career with HND same way as someone who started with BSC. To avoid this problem, scrap HND they will say No. So it is left for the wise ones to avoid Polytechnics. Trust me if all Nigerians boycott Polytechnics, they will turn them to degree awarding institutions. See NUC recent rants about HND top up program. They said you can't get BSC after 5 years HND with top up program. To them you are same with WAEC holders and should start from scratch. What nonsense!!! 1 Like |

You can't get to Managerial positions in Banks with HND even if you know the job very well. A fresh graduate with BSC will be promoted rapidly compared to you.

If you are reading this and you want to enroll in a polytechnic or have someone who wants to enroll in any polytechnic in Nigeria please I'm on my knees crying for you. Don't waste your future. Instead, go and learn a trade and keep applying for jamb. I repeat, please and please i beg all students of any polytechnic in Nigeria to boycott Polytechnics and sit for jamb again. We were lucky we escaped the polytechnic slave camp but most people are not and the senior citizens in Nigeria keep operating and encouraging people to go to Polytechnics. How can you encourage your fellow man or woman to go to polytechnic and you call yourself a Christian or Muslim? Will you be happy seeing your children fall into a ditch? Why encouraging other people's children to fall into the same ditch? Those adamant ones who will read this write-up and still say it doesn't matter. Do a quick research Check, most polytechnic lecturers don't allow their children go to Polytechnics ( a.k.a fall into a ditch) We can't be treating some citizens as slaves and keep encouraging slave camps. Recently, a polytechnic was threatening students who refused to pay the hiked school fees not to come for test. Please o yee prospective slaves, that test cannot help your career. Ruuuuuun for your lives. Most Corporate companies in Nigeria see Polytechnic graduates as failures. People who couldn't pass Jamb and couldn't enter university because they are dull slaves. Truly i tell you, a BSC Graduate with second class upper is more valuable than a HND Graduate with distinction and years of experience. Truly i say unto you, the former has a better career path than you.. I have many sad experiences of friends who spent years in Banking and later got BSC but were still paid a slave wage because they were employed with HND while a fresher trained on the job by them, who was employed with BSC, earned over 200,000NGN and kept earning higher than them. Even if you later get BSC or MSC on the job, most Banks won't recognise you because that HND you started with, has dented the image their HR have of you. To them, you started as a failure and also to them, once a failure(those who started their career with HND), always a failure. Asides the payment, the stigma is terrible believe me. You will train the new staff with your experience but you won't grow career wise. You will be mocked at the end. Imagine the fresher you trained, becoming your team lead and scolding you just because you have HND. If you ignore this message, you will learn the hard way. Most contract workers in Banks and many organisations are polytechnic graduates. I warned my brother after he got admission to Yabatech that i see an apprentice as better than him. He was shocked! Today he has his BSC and he is doing fine. Don't be a hurry and let that OND or HND be a stain to your life. God is fair to all but Nigeria government, politicians and lecturers are not fair to Nigerian polytecnic graduates. See them playing ping pong with converting polytechnics to degree awarding institutions or scraping Polytechnics entirely. Don't let anyone play ping pong with your life or that of your children, friends or even enemy. Your mantra in 2024 should be No gree for any polytechnic A word is enough for the wise !!! 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Please and please i beg all students of that school to boycott the school and sit for jamb again. Don't spoil your future by going to a polytechnic in Nigeria. Don't waste your money to be a slave. If you can't gain admission to a university, go and learn hand work. Going to Polytechnics in Nigeria will close your career opportunities when your mates with BSC will be promoted and you will learn the hard way. Most contract workers in Banks and many organisations are polytechnic graduates. I warned my brother after he got admission to Yabatech. Today he has his BSC and he is doing fine. Many polytechnic graduates are contract staffs aka Slaves with no career paths in most banks and some banks won't convert you even if you have BSC because that HND is seen as a stain to your life.

| Business › Which Way Nigeria? by Datedoboy(op): 8:34pm On Jan 30, 2024 |
If you are reading this post and in Nigeria, start considering saving in usd and hard currencies . Dollar is now 1500 and heading to 2000. I will suggest the Government bans Naira cos its becoming useless and I've lost hope in it. I see it diving to 2k b4 end of 2024 and 5k b4 2027. Maybe when it gets to 50k for 1 dollar, the youths will wake up. It seems to me that this is what the elites want and may their wishes come through. The more weak your currency is, the more vulnerable your citizens become. You devalue ur currency, you devalue your citizens. Thats why a bsc degree holder will go overseas to wash people's anus and still write exams to be qualified to wash anus. Total madness !!! Slave trade promax Nigerians are now slaves in their home country and abroad thanks to greed and devaluation of the Naira. Living corpses are what Nigerians have become. You earn 30k and your drugs are 50k are you not living corpse? What baffles me is how comfortable leaders are, seeing mass poverty caused by their policies. African leaders see it as a thing of joy. Sitting in their suvs, they smile when they see Queues at the fuel station. In their mortal minds they say , this people never see anything! I've noticed every December, they increase fuel price by causing artificial scarcity then they suddenly announce the pump price . If people complain, they reduce it a little and that's it. The new high price is fixed. This problem is not caused by only leaders. Majority of Nigerians are greedy, corrupt and wicked. Many churches and mosques yet few Christians and Muslims. That pastor you believe in, uses that term "pastor" as a camouflage to dupe people. In fact if u tell me you are a pastor i will look at you 4 times. You see people in church dancing and shouting on top of their voices, yet that so called woman of God treats her househelp with disdain and that so called man of God doesn't want to pay his staffs their full salary and doesn't want them to grow in their respective careers. Hypocrites everywhere Stop building religious centres. Start building factories that will employ more people mbanu, The average lazy Nigerian will build church cos he knows that's the second fastest source of revenue asides oil. He will never tell you christ was born in a manger but will ask you to sow seed which he will use to ensure his wife gives birth abroad. If the whites built churches in every street will you see jobs when you go there? Why can't we reason for once ! Country is sinking on a daily. Youths into fraud, Adults corporate fraud, leaders same thing and we call this independence! Those who said they brought independence are dependent on usd, foreign schools, foreign health care e.t.c and we say we have independence! 1 Like |

Angelfrost:I didn't say Dom account openings crashed the Naira. There are people that have large deposits of foreign currencies sitting idle in dom accounts. Why u may ask? In case you don't know, if i had 1 million usd 15 years ago without working, and I'm in power, if I'm corrupt, all i need do is devalue naira to 1400 and I am 1.4 billion Naira rich now without WORKING. Whereas, someone who had 150 million naira 15 yrs ago is still not a billionaire. Infact the person is poorer cos d value of this NGN amount has dropped. Clamping down on imports won't create strong demand for Naira trust me bro. Let's ban 1000 items instead of previous 41 items. Naira will keep falling. Don't think like majority who believe more exports will make 1ngn turn 1usd. See statistics below. We have a positive trade deficit in 2022 when many countries were having negative figures yet, was demand for Naira strong? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_exports From the above report, we made more from exports than imports in 2022 yet where is the money? Why did NGN fall again in 2022? And still keep falling? What you don't know is that most money gotten from exports are not repatriated back to Nigeria. The rest come back but to the black market. Where there is a cabal that hoards it. You go to bank and they say there is no dollar but abokis opposite the bank have Dollars. Where are they getting the Dollars from ? Are these abokis importers? What are they doing with Dollars that the banks can't do? A politician recently said, they go to Governors houses to collect them. During primaries usd was shared cos that's what they save in foreign and dom accounts within the country. Corruption and greed is why ngn will get to 2000 and the politicians know but won't go near my policies you know why? Cos it will affect their networth. My take is, why will you withdraw dollar within the country when you are not an importer? Even importers should not have access to dollars or any fx within the country except for imports purposes only. Can you withdraw ngn in Europe and spend it there? Why making another man's currency popular in your home country? When will africa wake up? By now we should have one currency in West Africa or the entire Africa to balance trade. First ban withdrawal and deposits of fx in dom accounts including virtual dollar platforms starting from all politicians and give people deadline to convert fx to NGN and let the banks including the CBN be transparent in fx inflows 1 Like |

There are countries that import more than they produce. Nigeria is not among top 10 countries with highest trade deficit.

I said it on this forum last year On Sep 26, 2023 I had mentioned it in my previous post that it will get to NGN1,000 per Usd if drastic measures are not taken. Again, I am saying it here that it will get to 2,000 before 2025 if we don't take these drastic measures. These measures will make the Naira appreciate to at most NGN500 to a dollar in the short term and in the long term, NGN100 What are these measures? I will explain further but note that this is not about Exports. Even if we export more than China today, the NGN will still decline further. How do i know this? If you do your research, you will discover that Nigeria as at 2023, exported and earned more FX more than several countries and yet the currencies of these countries are stronger than the Naira. So don't let anyone sell the idea that our economy is import dependent that is why our currency is falling. Even if we ban all imports and continue with (or increase) our current export, the Naira won't appreciate A simple question you can answer is, when we banned rice importation, did our currency stop falling? No !!! So sit back as we take a dive to 4 policies which WILL make the Naira appreciate. 1. All domiciliary accounts must be closed. Can a Canadian or US bank open Naira account for you? No! So why do we open Dom. Accounts for our citizens ? Now you may say what of imports? How do we pay for our goods in foreign currencies? The answer is simple. Credit your account in Naira while your bank pays the USD or GBP equivalent on your behalf at official rate determined by CBN 2. Ban deposits and withdrawals in foreign currencies and convert all inflows including export proceeds in foreign currencies to Naira (again at official rate determined by CBN). You don't need to stop people who sell at black market or hoard the USD. Let those who hoard the dollar keep it but once they know that after a said date, you can't deposit or hold your physical dollar, they will be forced to go to the bank to deposit it. Anyone found with physical hard currencies after the deadline, must be arrested This policy alone will make the NGN appreciate to maximum of NGN600 after first two weeks of implementation and will mop up hidden/excess dollar in the system. This policy will also discourage buying usd from the black market because there won't be any physical dollar to buy. 3. Increase interest rate for fixed Naira deposits to a minimum of 10%. This will encourage saving in Nigeria. Let a Naira 4 Naira scheme, replace the previous Naira 4 dollar scheme. 4. Reduce interest rates on fixed foreign currency deposits to 1% of principal amount if option 1 is not possible and convert all inflows to NGN without the option of collecting foreign currencies at the counter. You can't spend USD or GBP in Nigeria so why do you want to collect your inflows in foreign currencies? Then you increase Naira fixed deposit rate to 15% This policy indirectly stops the black market arbitrage. As the Government has floated the Naira, if these measures are not put in place, NGN2,000 to a dollar won't be surprising to me. I am just a concerned Nigerian and i am open to constructive criticism. 10 Likes 1 Share |
