Very true
I spent 9years in the bank and yet my account is in debit.
We don't want our jobs back
Just pay us our entitlements
Enough is enough

Over 400 hundred disengaged staff of Diamond Bank who were recently affected by the downsizing exercise carried out by the bank have decried the non-payment of their severance pay by the management after terminating their appointments suddenly.

The workers who spoke to newsmen in Kaduna at the weekend said the disengagement terms by Diamond Bank should not be different from that of the other banks which adequately settled all the terminated staff their severance pay and other entitlements in line with labour laws of disengaging workers on the basis of redundancy or anything related.

In addition to the non-payment, the workers lamented, Diamond Bank is also trying to make them unemployable by claiming that their disengagement is due their non performance, but which in reality is not true as many of them have good/excellent performance rating in their appraisals.

The spokesman of the group who preferred anonymity said they will not allow the bank to get away with their action.

"Diamond Bank is not the only bank that sacked its staff recently, but obviously, it is the only bank that is refusing to pay its former workers their severance pay after terminating their appointments unannounced.

“And to further strengthen their refusal to pay, the bank is telling the public that we were sack due to our non-performance. This is not only a malicious lie but it is wicked because by saying that, they are trying to render us unemployable.

“But on the contrary, many of us who were affected, numbering over 400, have good/excellent performance rating during previous appraisals including the last one done by the bank. The records are all there.

"So, Diamond Bank should stop peddling falsehood and own up their responsibilities. If they are sacking because of economic reasons, they should say so and adequately settle anyone they terminate his or her appointment. That was what other banks did.

“However, we will engage all means within the law to ensure that the bank does not get away with this illegality, because over 400 people are not a small number.

“We have been consulting widely across the country on the matter to know the precise action to take and we are in Kaduna to consult with various human right activists/lawyers, labour leaders and other notable figures who will help to advance our case," the spokesman said.

The spokesman added that the bank has already thrown all their accounts into debit, suspended their visa cards as well as threatening them to immediately pay up any money owed it as a result of the upfront allowances paid them in January/February and that it (the bank) shall begin to apply the staff rate of 4% interest for 90 days, after which it shall begin to attract interest at Monetary Policy Rate.

The spokesman urged the government to put necessary measures in place to prohibit not only banks but other organizations from arbitrarily terminating their staff's appointment at the slightest economic challenge, pointing out that the ability to absorb economic shocks and manoeuvre is also a necessary aspect of organizational commitment.

When contacted, the Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank, Uzoma Dozie said "I cannot talk to you because I cannot verify who you are, but if you read their contract, you will know if they were to be paid remuneration or not."

i was just opportuned to stumble on his recently released raphsody what i saw kinda amazed me cause we know false prophet can preach as an angel of light sometimes but there are things thought here which in freemason its is different ofcourse he is a mason don't ask me for prove except you need water proof.lol
Here are the crucial things mason doctrine entails that:
1)man is a god
2)salvation is by works not by jesus christ
3)There are other paths by which we are saved not by christ but nature like moon,sun e.g billy graham of USA preaches these doctrines exactly
4)We speak things into existence because we are god.more and more

but check out this raphsody release:
Rhapsody of Realities,
9th July 2016
Wherefore I put thee in
remembrance that thou
stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee by the
putting on of my hands.
For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love, and of
a sound mind (2 Timothy
1:6-7).
There’re many in the world
who are yet to hear the
Gospel of Christ. In some
places, Christians are
attacked and killed, with
many forbidden to profess
Jesus openly. But none of
these is new. The apostles
faced similar persecutions,
but they remained
courageous until the end.
We must therefore be
courageous with the truth
in the days in which we live.
Courage is the ability and
the will to do what’s right or
necessary even in the face
of threats or adversity. It’s
the will and ability to stand
for what’s right in spite of
opposition. Therefore, be
courageous in affirming
your faith in Christ, no
matter who your
adversaries are.
Be courageous in giving life,
strength, and light to others.
Courage is what got the
Church of Jesus Christ to
where it is today. The
apostles and prophets of
old weren’t afraid of kings,
nobles and wicked dictators
who opposed the Gospel;
they sure weren’t afraid to
die. Fear is the biggest killer
in the world. Many people
die, not out of persecution,
but out of fear. Refuse to
fear!
There’re only two that have
a responsibility for your life,
whether you live or die: God
and you. If God doesn’t
sanction it, no one can kill
you. If you say no, then it
can’t happen, but if you let
fear in, then you become a
victim.
Therefore, be strengthened
with the strength of God;
refuse to fear any man,
systems or governments.
Affirm your faith in Jesus
Christ as the Lord of your
life, and be bold to preach
the Gospel without fear or
intimidation.
Confession;
The greater One lives in
me, and I’m sufficient in
His sufficiency. My life is hid
with Christ in God, and as I
go forth, fulfilling the will
of God, nothing shall by
any means hurt me. By the
power of the Spirit, I’m
hauling the souls of men
from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan
unto God, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

TrajansKong:
No, the point is that you believe in him.

Apparently more than you believe in Goat.

After all, who has more control over the dreams, desires, imagination and emotional lives of Nigerian Christians?

Who is the true master of your souls

BethelD1:
Brothers and sisters in Christ , Christ is our Lord and saviour , not our GOs or Pastors . We however should pray for our priests and intercede on their behalf for the flame of God power to continue to burn bright in their lives .

All the men of God mentioned (Kumuyi, Adelaja, Joshua and Oyakhilome) all help to project the wonderful mesage of our Lord Christ all over the world.

Infact the men mentioned are the few positive light of honour and respect that shine out of Nigeria and indeed Africa .

Having said that they are humans , created by God for His glory and even allows them to have weaknesses so that people like you and me doesnt start worshiping them .

Job was a man of God totally and still had challenges ; David was annointed by God and was a fugitive for years .


The testimonies of David and Job at a time probably made people around them laugh at them (Bible confirmed same ) infact it was the dregs of the society that believed in the testimony of David whilst he was in the jungle fighting for his survival from the assault of Saul .

Job was mocked by family , in these days we will have probably said he used his children for occultic purposes!

Christ was recognised by the lowly placed men like fishermen etc , the intellegentsia could not just imagine God manifesting as a common carpenter!

The Lord Jehovah justified these afforementioned after it all .

Recently I saw Pastor Adelaja's commentary on Pastor Joshua on You Tube ; he more or less acknowleged the work of God in his ministry , meanwhile Pastor Kumuyi went to Adelaja's Church . And some us are in a fight about Pastor Chris and Joshua friendship!

I personally guess these men of God probably pray for one another's ministries and interact cordially behind the scenes .

They probably avoid open meetings because of us that see God in one and the devil in another!

I noticed that more recently the animosities between in the hierachy of Nigerian Christiandom has been toned down . This probably down to Boko Haram bombing and killing people and not sparing Kumuyis , Adelaja , Joshua or Oyakhilomes followers!
You know what brethren ? the haramites call all of them Christians! And righly so , they are all christians .

Our enemy is the devil /satan as described in the Bible and not your brother or sister who is propagating God Kingdom all over the world and rightly or wrongly you are priviledged to know some information about him and you judge him .

I hope I have not been offensive to any one ; if I did I apologise and I pray the Jehovah Almighty whom we all love and serve helps our understanding and gives more grace to us all to further see ourselves the way He sees us

Shalom

lepasharon:
Y'all can't even agree on one single Christian doctrine and expect outsiders to take you seriously. Joke

OLAADEGBU:
Am still waiting to see how many people share your delusions before I begin to know what to say about these accusations.

jayriginal:
Gombs, wasn't infidelity one of the grounds of divorce in the Oyakhilome's marriage?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

OLAADEGBU:
You made me laugh in Swahili.

Amberon:
There goes the one who doesn't believe in fallen angels. You are double faceted.

TrajansKong:
I wish you were right. Truth is, our bible-believing, demon-plagued populations must be the accursed of the Earth. We suffer from more sickness, death, and spiritual terror than non-spooked peoples.

The white mans God is unconcerned with you.

TrajansKong:
Yet you and the rest of our satan-believing African Christians so clearly have NONE of these victories.

Not.

One.

uvalued:
but he fell from grace and became the devil: what caused him to fall from GRACE!

Gombs:

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven (Luke 10:18).
It's unfortunate that some people don't believe there's an adversary called Satan, the devil. Some people don't even want to talk about him; they say, "There's no devil", trying hard to convince themselves in their delusion. Jesus didn't deny the existence of Satan, though He emphasized his defeat and our triumph over him.

Satan is real; he's a spirit being. He's not an illusion as some believe; he's a personality; an evil personality. He was an angel, according to the Bible, but he fell from grace and became the devil.

God didn't create a devil. He made an angel called Lucifer, son of the morning. [size=18pt]However, through pride, he lost his position, [/size] was overthrown, and became the devil. So, Satan does exist; the Bible says he moves from one place to another: "And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it" (Job 1:7).

Although he has his demons running rampage all over the place, Satan isn't everywhere at the same time; he's not omnipresent, and doesn't know everything. To counter him, the Bible says you're to resist him steadfastly in the faith (1 Peter 5:8-9). That's how you keep him on the run (James 4:7). As long as you operate in faith, Satan cannot withstand you; you're superior to him.

When Jesus defeated Satan in hell, you were in Him. In Christ, you defeated Satan and his cohorts of hell. Now, you're seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:21). So, Satan is under your feet. Though he's not an illusion, he's not a factor in your life.
Confession.
Thank you Father, for I know that the devil and the cohorts of hell have been defeated, paralyzed, and rendered completely powerless. I have been given the authority and made superior to them in Christ! Now, I walk in my victory over Satan, sin, sickness, disease and death! Blessed be God!

Have a great day sir is not a waste, i need it.lol.

Thinking hardly helps progress in spiritual matters. thinking makes many an atheist. When your understanding of God is based MORE on thinking, you will not get it. fact.

Goshen360:
Yes! He or she remain saved. The GIFTS and CALLING of God are irreversible/irrevocable.

2. The verse you quoted has nothing to do with being saved now, because the same corinthians ARE ALREADY SAVED but was wallowing in sin because of their background and environment.

3. The only thing that can make a christian loose his or her salvation is by denouncing the one he or she is in, that is THE LORD.

4. Sins doesn't UNBORN AGAIN a Christian. Sin and sacrifice for sins had been dealt with and paid once and for all times. When Christ returns, he's not returning to come deal with sins or sacrifice for sins no more....SAYS THE WORD OF GOD.

5. Ask yourself, does every sin or sins you committed but didn't even know it was a sin UNBORN AGAIN you?

6. Paul, didn't pamper the sins of the corinthians and we are not supposed to pamper sins in the church of Christ but Paul NEVER implied the Corinthians loose their salvation because of sin and later regained it back, rather he was hard on them and they REPENTED....that's what the verse you quoted is talking about.

7. The word "save, salvation, saved" are used to mean different meaning within its context. You cannot just lift bible verse from its context just because it mentioned save, saved or salvation, you have to follow the contextual meaning. That's one of the damages or error Image123 committed in his first response.
