CareerRe: 9 Management Lessons From Atedo Peterside by Osogagba(m): 7:57pm On Dec 03, 2013
You definitely like your man almost to the point of idolatry. One observation though: is the guy's management style sexist? I ask because you kept referring to his 'boys' and only mentioned Sola David-Borha almost as an aside.
BusinessRe: Staff In Nairalander's UBA Account-Issue Sacked! by Osogagba(m): 6:17pm On Sep 16, 2013
Nonsense. Did you follow the original post? Did you see how long it took the guy to sit on his butt while doing absolutely nothing about facilitating the opening of the said domiciliary account after all the requested documents had been submitted? Did you note his maddening indifference to the customer who confessed her frustrations and stated that only the fact that she stutters when angry prevented her from a verbal confrontation of the guy there? And what makes you think the guy had not been trained, even repeatedly, by the bank on appropriate customer service and yet he persisted in treating his customers shabbily? I think he had his sack, honestly. The damage to his employer's reputation caused by his carelessness is unquatifiable. His departure can only be a timely warning for others of his ilk within and without the bank that there will always be consequences. In this country people have literally gotten away with murder for too long. Time all that is checked.

AjanleKoko: It was wrong of UBA to fire that employee in my view.

It's not just about sacking someone. Companies in Nigeria need to do a lot more to train their staff on customer service.
This one sounds like eye service/scape-goating to me. It's not only about paying people lots of money, but instilling the right attitude through training in the employees. That one person was sacked does not mean someone else will not do worse next time. Even worse, it reinforces a negative attitude in the other staff members.

Punitive action is fine, but not firing. Are they going to fire someone every time there is a complaint? Why not be proactive and train employees, develop customer service KPIs, and monitor the customer interfaces for compliance?
Typical Naija draconian approach angry

BusinessRe: UBA: What's Killing Your Great Brand?-A FOLLOW UP AFTER MEETING UBA GROUP by Osogagba(m): 6:27am On Sep 11, 2013
My friend, you dont have to distort facts just because you want to praise GTBank. How can you say GTBank is the only bank that made pre-tax profits of over 100 billion naira last year? Maybe you havent heard of the Zenith 2012 results. Zenith did not only make pre-tax profits of more than 100 billion naira, they are infact the ONLY bank in Nigeria today with post-tax profits of over 100 billion naira. GTBank's 2012 post tax profits were infact a mere 86 billion naira. So much for your 'facts'.
damola1: Even with a OD on my UBA a/c. Had to dump the crappy bank. Always wasting 2-3hrs on queue ( GT is guilty of this too). Can you freaking believe it. They have a charge on internet banking.. they call it monthly charges. I laugh in chinese.

First bank. I really want to bank with them, but they don't take technology serious either and their customer service isn't just that great. I have their token, but still use their checkbook. Stuck! Gone and filled forms like 3x already.

What is the essence of asset for a business if it does not roll in cash. GTB did over 100B, no one else ever in history.

My friend, I am a consumer, I don't need all this blah blah bloh stories.

Let me tell you how you'll know a system that works. They employ 21year olds now at GTb. Young kids, just to run the existing, working process. They don't need no old man/woman to do that. Cos it works like magic. Check any business that runs on the cheapest qualified candidate. They know what they are doing.

I have said more than enough. The customs officer was asking me, oga anything for me, I said bros nothing oh.. na just my ATM dey my pocket, choi... I trust GT so much... last year in miami, I told the cab guy to give me 5mins. I will transfer to my atm and pay him. What are you saying?.... bros.. really, collect one e-slap there!.. if you like, continue to waste your time and that of your colleagues on banks that'll cost you up to 1 month in a year in salaries.

InvestmentRe: Mutual Funds In Nigeria: Please Share Your Experience by Osogagba(m): 11:55am On Aug 03, 2013
ARM mutual funds, especially their Discovery Fund, are the last investment outlets I would advise anyone to put their money in. They will more than disappoint you. I'd sooner give my money to a confirmed 419ner first.

Omexonomy: I have invested in over five mutual fund they dont declare dividend that makes sense it is more of ponzi scheme especially DVCF OIL AND GAS no return in last four years. If you want to invest try ARM (mutual fund) first bank (mutual fund) and union trustees mixed fund. These are the ones i am a little bit happy with.

CareerRe: Can Someone Survive On ₦130,000 Monthly In Lagos? by Osogagba(m): 11:16am On Jul 13, 2013
Why is it that people just respond to issues raised on NL without fully understanding the contexts of those issues. The main cause of concern for Erelu who posed the question is the fact that the impending returnee is already used to her living standards in the UK. If she comes back on a 130K salary, would she get something similar or close? This to me means taking consideration some of our peculiar challenges like lack of regular power, water,etc. Would she have to spend money out of that salary providing some of those necessities for herself?
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Diamond Bank Sacks Over 100 Workers by Osogagba(m): 8:16pm On Jul 10, 2013
What a lousy report. I shake my head in disgust at the rubbish that passes for journalism these days. I have no doubt that the name of reporter who wrote this story would have been promptly included in the sack list were he or her to have been a Diamond bank employee. The incompetence is too gross to be forgiven.

lekanolas: Diamond Bank Plc yesterday relieved over 100 of its staff their jobs, for not measuring up to the Bank’s measuring standard.

National Mirror was told that those affected, which included those that have spent over five years with the bank have been given their sack letters.

According to a source close to the bank, there was palpable tension and a brief stop of office activities at the headquarters of the Bank in Lagos where many of those affected were serving.

It was gathered that the financial institution allegedly downsizing was necessitated due to low patronage, which the bank is experiencing in recent times.

National Mirror was not able to get the actual number of those sacked, but was told the number is over 100.

A company source however said the affected staff were those who performed below average in the bank’s yearly assessment test.

SportsRe: Sunday Oliseh Replies Stephen Keshi! - by Osogagba(m): 9:11am On Jul 10, 2013
emorse: If I were Keshi, I'd silently take Oliseh's advice because a coach is only as good as his last match. Moreso in our beloved Nigeria.
Remember Samson Siasia's and his team of 2005. The whole county wouldn't stop singing their praise. They called Siasia all sorts of names. Disciplinarian, Mr. No nonsense, to mention a few. Then came his time with the Super Eagles. This same "no nonsense" attitude was what got him kicked out of his job after clashing with and leaving out some of his best players, hence failing to qualify for CAN. Jose Mourinho was once asked if he ever plays to lose. He said "The only time I play to lose is when I'm playing with my kids!" If this doesn't stress the importance of winning, I doubt if anything else will. Football is not just a game of beautiful moves and tactics. If you fail to win, you're out! Keshi should just be a man and learn from his mistakes and those of other coaches, accept constructive criticisms and stop bickering about what happened donkey years ago. He is a good coach. But only as long as he keeps winning.
If I could offer him an advice, I would say to him - Play every game with your best players, either home based or foreign based. Have in mind that the experience of some foreign based professionals cannot be bought. Neither can the talents and skills of some home based players. Find a perfect blend!
And what did you think Keshi had been trying to do with this team all along?
SportsRe: Sunday Oliseh Replies Stephen Keshi! - by Osogagba(m): 8:45am On Jul 10, 2013
Dee60: In football, you should expect criticism and Keshi should know that. It is all about tactics and sometimes you dont get it. Big Bro, learn from Mourinho. When things go wrong he accepts the blame, smile and promise never to have a repeat. Our performance at CONFED was abysmally poor.

We have to warm up to experienced players. We should not allow ego to blind us. Mourinho and Ronaldo were not in the best of terms last season, but they both managed to get on professionally. I really do not understand why players in top leagues are shut out of the eagles!

We were defeating minions at regional level and we thought we could play against Spain as we played against Togo!
And who are these players in top leagues that you want in the Super Eagles? Obafemi Martins who plays in the backwater MLS and who was given a great chance to redeem himself during the last qualifiers in Calabar against Kenya but who ended up running around the whole pitch like a headless chicken before Keshi saved his blushes by introducing Oduamadi? Or Joseph Yobo who plays in Turkey and who was a shadow of himself at AFCON? Or Osaze who can't even get a regular shirt in his bottom club in the premiership because of his long-established indiscipline with club and national team authorities? Who exactly are these your players that were shut out?

When Asiwaju finally wins the presidency or helps his wife to the Vice presidency as she currently dreams of, (having helped impose her as a senator) then the rest of Nigeria (and not just Lagos State or South West Nigeria)will become his family's oyster.

EducationRe: Covenant University’s Former Vice-chancellor Suspended For Examination Fraud by Osogagba(m): 12:44pm On Jun 18, 2013
Acidosis: Now that it involves covenant university, I expect some sects to come here and pour out their inherited jealousy once again on private universities... NOT forgetting the fact that these things happen everyday, everywhere, and in all schools in Nigeria.

Infact, I can name and publish the names of 25 lecturers & course advisers who bought their first cars from students' money (paid for "blocking) in a single school (public university) LOL!

I can name 25 lecturers who altered the scores of female students after sleeping with them in a single school. LOL!

Just recently a vice chancelor of a state university altered the score of a 300L Medical student in a pharmacology course from 49 to 50, and he even defended himself! cheesy

Its happening everywhere!
How about the scores of graduates writing interviews in top government ministries? Lmao!

How about those Lecturers who help their wards to gain admission even when they don't merit certain courses? LOL!

In as much as I despise these acts, I'm saying all these to WARN those angry mo. fos who might later come on the thread to alter gibberish about "Private universities".

If indeed you are an alumnus of Covenant University with this rubbish you wrote here, then what other evidence do we need to confirm that this story is true? Almost every word of every sentence you wrote here is error-ridden. And you are here supposedly defending a school of inflation of examination marks for their dull students. Covenant University should be frankly ashamed to be identified with people like you.

The fact that the lady was suspended is enough reason to respect the authority of covenant university!
Kudos to the management and the academic team!
God bless you for bringing sanity to "our institutions".

...oh, the pastor with a second wife!
Well, the church may suspend him for such disgraceful lifestyle but that has nothing to do with his academic/career life. Its a matter of choice...

...atleast he is far far better than his colleagues in our state and federal schools forcing their female students to bed.

Lol, I even saw the theater art lecturer caught recently in DELSU. grin
Hes been suspended though and his wife just had a baby for him sad


Shameless things are happening oo! grin Only those who shine their eyes back then at school would understand my points..
Sleeping with lecturers to get good grades na pure water. grin

LiteratureRe: Is “Things Fall Apart” Really Chinua Achebe's Best Work? by Osogagba(m): 4:49pm On May 21, 2013
gudugudumeje: Things Fall Apart is more successful as a political tool than a literary masterpiece. It's a counter narrative to repudiate the western imperial image of Africa. In the process, the number of barbaric acts found expressed there in the book were what finally attracted the average Western European and Americans to buy the book and get it translated to many languages for keep for and to their next generations. That is in order to prove that Africa is barbaric. WHO NOW IS CHASING WHO?

PoliticsRe: Lagos Rejects Hijab In Public Schools by Osogagba(m): 3:38pm On May 15, 2013
Those muslims who disagree with the Lagos State govt on the ban and who say they will contest it in court are most welcome to do so. But what should not be acceptable is the angry threat by the ever-pugnacious Muslim Students Society (MSS) to resist the govt's directive, even if violently. Given their history, if they go ahead with such a resistance, they'd expressly be justifying the govt's considered decision to uphold the law that bans outward manifestations of religion in Lagos public schools.

Before Kwankwaso, other more hostile anti-Igbo leaders existed. They were all united in their wish that the "troublesome" inyamiris be wiped off the face of the North and Nigeria in general, nay, the earth. But guess what, the Igbo are still here. They'll be here as long as humans inhabit this earth. As for the ploy to convert the garage into an islamiya school, well they can as well convert the entire state into one giant mosque. But as it often happens, the ultimate losers will never be the Igbo. By the way, for those interested, here's a useful website you may want to check out; www.thereligionofpeace.com

CareerRe: Diamond Bank Or University Of South Florida by Osogagba(m): 11:57am On Apr 29, 2013
I think you should go for the MSc for the following reasons: (1.) It's a foreign degree and it will definitely count more in your job-seeking CV for Nigerian employers anytime you decide to come back. (2.) Your uncle and aunt are paying, so you are virtually losing nothing. (3.) The Diamondbank job sounds good on paper but I tell you, it is not going to be as rosy when you're going to have to compete with a hundred or more others with even better first degrees than you working there. (4.) With a foreign MSc in Finance, along with your local BSc in accounting, your employability range becomes wider. You can so easily work in the finance or accounting departments of Telecoms, Oil and Gas, Manufacturing and/or Power(Discos) companies apart from your dream of being in Banking and Finance. You can even decide to go into Central Banking or the World Bank and the latter, as we all know, is quite 'notorious' for insisting on advanced degrees for its entry level applicants. Furthermore, I would rather work in Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria or Citibank Nigeria than in Diamond and my foreign graduate degree is always something those foreign banks are going to place a high premium on. A worst case scenario, for those who tell you "missing" the great Diamondbank offer may cause you much regrets later, is that you can even get started with KPMG or PwC who would not hesistate to grab you with your initial accounting degree and the additional foreign masters degree. From working with them a few years to garner the required professional skills and qualifications, your professional future in terms of moving on to other even better paying job(s) is practically assured. Long and short of all this my rambling: just grab the MSc offer, dude. Even the network of international friends you're likely to make from being in that MSc class with several other classmates from other countries will prove very invaluable in future, something you are unlikely to get in a place like Diamond bank. And finally, when you finally depart for the programme, don't fail to send in my consultation fee. This advice isn't for free, of course. smiley
