Hmm

Parolee:
Good point you are raising.

See the criminal minded foreigners have taken advantage of the SAn crime situation. It is a well known fact all over that crime is a big problem in SA. People fly for many kilometers to kill their wives here using SAns to assist them. Our laws are too lenient when it comes to dealing with hardcore criminals. As SAn - we have been complaining all along that hey the constitution seems to be more protective of the perpetrators of crime than the victims. SAns have raised this issue many times with the government. But, sadly so nothing drastic has happened to tighten the laws. So criminals (both foreign and local) are fully aware of this and are taking advantage of the loopholes. That is why we are in this dilemma.

So, the citizenry got tired and something had to give. I do not condone the attacks / killings though.

What jobs are they taking - cutting peoples hair, running brothels, selling sweets and cigarettes by the roadside? That is not important. We do not care about this.

Here is the problem: your people came here and created no go areas for SAns in their own land with their bully behavior and criminal dealings. Hillbrow Jhb, Sunnyside Pta, Point Road Dbn and other places have been completely taken over by ruthless foreign criminals to such a point that these areas you have to avoid them completely.....better still if it were SAns carrying on like that - now its foreigners? Would you accept that in your own country, huh? Most of your people are behaving badly and SAns have had it with this! Not anymore.

I remember the other day in Dec 2013 early on a Sunday morning in the Joburg Station area - a group of Nigerians fighting amongst themselves, going up and down the street - it was ugly...it was scary. If people can come all the way from so far off and begin to do that among themselves - what about you as a SAn?

Most of your people here behave badly and we have had it about that. Instead of you guys accepting this and talking to them to tone down whatever you choose to lambaste us - just talk to your people down here to tone it down and just behave, please.

2.foreigners committing crimes

On the bolded, I will tell you again stop smoking whatever it is that you are smoking - you are loosing your sanity!

What great exploits you Nigerians have done? Huh, tell me? With all that oil money the country makes in just one day - yet - you still stand in the que for 7 hours with a 25litre petrol container and still get nothing.....that for an oil producing country on OPEC....you must be ashmed of your self.

What great exploits you Nigerians have done? Huh, what new invention to help humanity? Nothing. You can not tell me about Innoson motors blah blah blah....there is nothing Nigerian about an internal combustion engine and SUVs....nothing....that was just re-modelling and rebranding of already existing methods, technologies etc........so really shut it.

In fact, you have done us all a great deal of disservice as the black people of Africa....when did your country start being in black hands? If there was anything peculiar about you guys - then Nigeria was supposed to be the shining diamond of Africa.....so you are a loud mouth for nothing.

At least in our case.....after 20years of blackman rule - there are indications that although things are heavy but the country is moving forward - though not at the pace we would like it to - but still we are moving forward. Infrastructure being expanded everywhere....it's just good to be a part of the positive things that happen here.

So shut it!!!

Gardian09, come n c what these children r typing here o.
Especially this one

The economic downturn in the country, coupled with the difficult regulatory climate, seems to be taking its toll on the financial sector as one of the top financial institutions, Diamond Banks Plc has sacked over 1,000 workers.

P.M.NEWS Business findings revealed that the latest disengagement by the bank had to do with the need to realign its operations for a tougher 2015, especially as the monetary policy environment continues to get tighter.

Some of the regulatory measures introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria aimed at protecting the economy, according to findings, have started affecting the banks’ profitability.

It was learnt that apart from job cuts, the bank is also planning to reduce the number of new branches to be opened this year.
A source within the bank told our correspondent that major projects and sponsorship programmes for third-party companies, which may not readily add to the bottom line, are also due to be axed by the bank.

According to the source, the affected workers cut across all branches of the bank.


The fortunes of Diamond Bank has recently not been on the positive side as its 2015 first-quarter pre-tax profit fell 9.5 per cent to 8.36 billion naira ($42 million) from a year earlier.
The bank did not disclose why profit for the period end-March fell but said in a statement that revenue climbed 5.8 per cent during the period to 40.48 billion naira.

The banks profit after tax also fell by 10.72 per cent to N25.48 billion in 2014, compared with N28.54 billion in 2013 as regulatory induced costs continue to suppress profit.

Its operating expenses also increased by 19.89 per cent to N92.86 billion in 2014 from N77.40 billion in 2013.
Cost-to-income ratio, which measures the ability of a bank in cutting costs while boosting profit, reduced to 72.30 per cent in 2014 as against 66.57 per cent in 2013.

The banks corporate communications unit could not immediately be reached for comment on the development.
P.M.NEWS Business however learnt that more financial institutions are planning to cut their staff strength in the following months, while others are already outsourcing a number of job functions, a development that has seen some of them transfer a significant number of their employees to third-party companies.

One of the banks, Skye Bank Plc, earlier in the year announced that it had transferred its tellers, drivers, security personnel and other support staff members to three outsourcing firms, a move that will affect hundreds of the bank’s workers.

The decision, led to the disengagement of the affected employees from the bank and their subsequent transfer to third-party firms.
Skye Bank, however, said in a statement that the move was part of the initiatives to strengthen all cadres of its workforce.

According to the statement, the outsourcing companies appointed to take over the employees are Optimum Continental Services, Strategic Outsourcing Limited and Integrated Corporate Services Limited.

The bank gave the assurance that the outsourcing firms would engage the affected employees under the same terms and conditions as they were employed by the financial institution.

Global rating agency, Fitch Ratings, and other international and local research firms had late last year predicted that Nigerian banks would witness a fall in profitability this year.

On November 25, 2014, the CBN’s Monetary Policy Committee devalued the naira by eight per cent; raised Monetary Policy Rate from 12 to 13 per cent; and also increased the private sector Cash Reserve Requirement from 15 to 20 per cent.
The development, which led to the immediate withdrawal of about N500bn from the banking system, was said to have affected the banks adversely.

Also, in a bid to halt the sliding naira, the CBN had in December stopped the banks from keeping any of their funds in foreign currencies. It also said dollars bought from it must be utilised within 48 hours, adding that the actions were aimed at stopping the banks from speculating on the exchange rate.

Experts said the recent regulatory measures would have major negative effects on the banks this year, adding that they were already feeling the effects of previous actions by the CBN, especially the increase in public sector CRR, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria’s levy increase, and the gradual removal of certain bank charges.

Fitch, in a report released on October 8, 2014, said actions aimed at protecting the economy and the banking system by the CBN would make the profits of the Deposit Money Banks for this year drop.

While recalling that some of the previous regulatory headwinds had led to weaker profitability and “stemmed credit growth” in the first half of 2014, the rating agency said Nigerian banks’ assets growth and earnings would experience further fall over the next 18 months.

I wonder o. The best bet is to create a special broadband company bundled with iroko TV. So we can enjoy fully, not this limited and slow internet data we have.
