Old age comes with reduced productivity, both physical and mental.

charlesucheh:
Rubbish talk. that's why you couldn't garner any LIKES.

once the person is tested and can do the task, he gets the job! what have those within the age brackets done to savor our country industrially?

They even have to forge their ages certs and the rest to fit in. Oga! you speak like a Non Nigerian, Walahi!!!

This age barrier is my greatest nightmare as I type though I am just two months shy of 36yrs. After serving Nigerian Navy for 16yrs, during which time I trained myself in the University, became a Chartered Accountant and currently pursuing my Masters Degree. I left the Navy to pursue my dream of working as an Accountant because I was in the Engineering branch while in the Navy. But two years later , I am still hunting for job. Nairalanders help me o

It is more prevalent because there is close to non-existence of labour rights regulation. That is heavy casualisation of labour in the banking industry. This led by the like of GTB, STanbic, and a number of other banks in Nigeria. The system is sustained by the practise of the bank directors by floating HR practice. They transfer the salaries of the so called contract staff to these HR companies; cut their own fees running into millions of naira monthly.

US has a population of 300 million - there are more people in their labor market and so this is not an excuse. It is wickedness.

Even the white folks

I am sure you must have come about this on many recruitment/vacancy requirements. What's the fate of those hardworking fellows who are over 30.

What's the fate of those hardworking fellows who were not fortunate enough to gain admission early or was caught up in a low pace education system as a result of incessant strikes.

TGM2015:
The first reason is to reduce number of applications as the labour market is saturated. Imagine getting millions of applications for an opening of less than 50. Some companies have gone further by stating year of graduation. You will see something like should have graduate not later than 2015.

Second reason is that, it is easier to blend young graduates to the culture and requirements of the job than older graduates. Like professionally brainwashing them to act/work in a particular way. It is very difficult to do that with someone with over 5 years life/work experience after graduation.

Third reasons is that, it is believed that the younger an entry level employee is, the more years he or she has to serve the company.

The good news now is that over the years the business world has now discovered that those philosophies of recruitment are not given the desire outcomes. In few years to come, companies, especially those international companies, will not be restricting recruitment by age. They have discovered that the older graduates are more loyal and experienced, and that they tend to give longer years of serving than the young graduates that statistics has shown to have an average of 2 years of service per company.

At below 30, you have less responsibilities so you can settle for any salary amount and work like an elephant...

At above 30, you have more responsibilities and you may wanna negotiate salary....

Employees don't want that, they want to use you at your best and pay less

BigBashiru:
the unenlightened black man is too dull to understand this. Stanbic ibtc conducts hiv test as a condition to hire - hiv is not infectious - it does not infect anyone in any office. the mind of the black man is the most evil and the most wicked - only in black africa are hiv tests conducted as a condition for employment in a non clinical setting.

Standard Chartered Nigeria Limited too conducts hiv tests - interestingly Standard Chartered Plc headquartered in London - it is against their policy to conduct hiv tests - but their nigerian franchise (Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Limited) headed by blacks with their backward thinking enacted hiv testing as a condition of employment.

It will surprise you the health insurance and challenges the company could face in employing someone with HIV.

Firstly, the stress of a banking job isn't ideal for a person with HIV. Secondly, how much time will they give this person off? The ARVs can be harsh on the body, who will pay for this? The innocent bank for employing them? Etc, etc.

It doesn't justify discrimination, but it is a possible reason why they wouldn't want to employ persons with HIV in a stressful job.

BigBashiru:
Stress has no correlation with hiv.... if it did foreign banks throughout Europe and the Americas would be conducting hiv tests....

Second there is no health insurance challenge.... I hv health insurance and the insurance company didn't conduct any hiv test on me because hiv is not a big deal....

BRATISLAVA:
Stress has a correlation with HIV.

Even if they don't conduct the test, a person with HIV would need better care than 7-8 every day. If it is stressful to people without it, is it people with HIV that will find it a walk in the park? And if Nigerian Banks don't want them, they know why better than you. Working hours are different.

Some health insurance won't accept you if you have incurable or grave conditions. They will not test you, but when they find out is a different thing.

BigBashiru:
No you have it all mixed up.... New York and London are the financial capitals of the world and the hundreds of institutions there dont conduct hiv tests and its some stupid nigerian bank that does.... and stress from JP Morgans HIV positive employees hasnt affected the bank?
I dont want to believe you have the same mentality as these people.
From your write up - it seems you still swallow everything you are being told about hiv without your own independent research. the banks also discriiminate on the basis of hepatitis. Stanbic and Standard Chartered has been reporting losses for the past 2 years. I guess God has a way of carrying out His own retribution. Vengeance is mine saith the LORD, I will repay!
