klems4real: Sometimes, I weep for our dear country considering the number of people that want to leave for a better life abroad. Ranging from, quality eduacation, constant electricity, access to motorable roads, access to good health facilities to name but a few. People Praying and fasting for their TRVs to be granted at the embassies. In the process, some get outrightly duped of their hard-earned money all in the bid to travel out. And the successful ones struggle with extreme weather conditions just to survive over there. The common man wakes up everyday without hope of what to eat. Graduates roaming the streets for employment, and some even get duped out of desperation and some are forced to take up menial jobs just to survive. If at all there are openings for employment, the openings are being hijacked by the politicians and the highly placed. However, with respect to the on-going Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise, I learnt from sunnewsonline.com (yesterday) that there are only few hundreds of vacancies available and more than six million Nigerians have already applied. To make matter worse the application is not free, you are to pay a non-refundable application fee of one thousand naira, with no chance or hope of succeeding at the end of the day. Why do we have all the natural resouces that keep other developed countries going and yet we live in abject poverty?
Who is that MESSIAHA that will convert the wealth under our feet to the wealth in our hands? My brother I really weep for this country. |

dream2014: Good day guys! I have had so much restrained in commenting on this thread because I know people could easily take ones comment on such sensitive issues negatively. However as i put on my system to prepare for an exam i am having soon, i couldnt resist putting one or two comments. I am commenting as someone who has had quite a number of experience in banking, though I have been voluntarily out of the system for about a year. I have worked as what is referred to as core staff and i have been sympathetic of the complaints of contract staff even though I always advised them to never always settle for the least.
I sympathize with people that lost their lives and all other who suffered unfortunate experience that bothers on life. However, the reality of life and present day Nigeria makes company to want to explore the options of contract staff as we call it. My younger brother works for one though not banking. He just did his wedding and i am sure he was not given off days not to talk of leave and the organisation was not represented. He works with B.sc with a lot of certifications to go along with it.
For the sake of people who are still young, make choices early in life as what we do in life eventually is likely dependent on the add ups of life with little variance. I feel like telling a back ground story of what i read and how i got to this place but may be that could be for another day.
Truly, we might think that Travelista is too arrogant but believe me he has a lot of sense he is making.
Let me start by saying that banking work is terrible, even when you work as a professional staff, dont just make it a comfort zone. Dream, dream and dream and always look for where you can better or improve yourself. If i stay on tellering which is the bulk of contract staff in a place like Gtbank and Access bank, they take OND and not HND. The idea when they started is that they can cut cost by employing OND for 2 years where they can have requisite experience and then raise fund to further their education to HND or Bsc. However, probably because of the condition of the country, many of them choose to stay and work for 4, 5, 6 years or more. Since it helps banks to cut cost, they allow it since many of them are willing to stay. Some go on to do HND on part time while some do Bsc on part time. Some dont do anything. I know many who do not even have a CV. The sad part is that i know many of my then subordinates, who after starting with their OND, got married almost immediately and try to live large without thinking of their condition of service and what the next stage of life should look like.
One thing i always say is that, some of these terms are known before accepting jobs and they are also their in black and white for people to decide if thats what they want or not. When my brother finished school, IBL wanted to take him on contract and i told him you will regret it for the rest of your life if you are not careful. It was hard for him, thank God he took it and he started doing jobs of 15k or thereabout but that allowed him to do certifications. Though he works on contract for a company at the moment but with better terms and I am sure remuneration. But even with this, he is always trying out on interviews and jobs even if it involves him traveling at night a times. I am always impressed with his doggedness.
Last year, i was applying to many schools abroad and looking for scholarships and I was carrying out some of the contracts staff under me alond. I kept telling them that my salary is very much higher than yours and I am ready to take the risk. I expected some of them will come and say bros let us do it together. Some of these schools if you are lucky will give you full scholarship which includes tuition and feeding while you can have access to loan as well. Apart from the monetary reward, it can give you a leeway to better life. It is a risk i had to take but none is willing to go near it. It has not been easy for me and my family. I am back and not working yet but I know with time, i will find something to do. When I was leaving, i told them i dont mind starting all over again if need be cos i need to take my destiny in my hand.
Unfortunately we are in a capitalist world, during my programme i got to know that everywhere, companies want to rip you off and it opened my mind the more. Companies in US, UK want to take people for unpaid internship for 6 months or even 1 year. Thats the reality of the present world. I met people from parts of Europe who have worked for years end earning 300 Euros a month, that is about 60k a month. The one room i took during my programme is 300 Euros a month and i think thats one of the least in my class.
Hmnnnnnn, when some of us start business we will understand this craze for cutting cost. We need to take our destiny into our hands early enough in life. We should ask questions like 1. Do I want to do this job? 2. What are the terms and conditions and do they favour me. 3 If i am taking it, do I want to stay long? 4. If i am not staying long, what are the plans for my future. etc.
I pray we have a better country but let us strive beyond our comfort zone.
I am sorry if some dont feel comfortable with my comment but we can always dialogue. You presented your facts very well unlike the other dude.  |
