In a trending video, a Nigerian banker has opened up about his frustrations with working in the banking sector.

The man revealed that he has been employed in a commercial bank for 16 years, yet has nothing tangible to show for all his years of service.

Expressing his disappointment, he said: “I’m not too happy because it feels like I’ve been used for the past 16 years. I’ve been doing my work diligently — look at the time I’m leaving for work now, as usual. It’s as if I’ve been used all these years and there's nothing to show for it.”

He went on to advise parents whose children may be considering a career in commercial banking to think carefully, stressing that working in Nigerian commercial banks is not for the faint-hearted, especially for junior staff. “They will suck you like an orange — suck you dry and then throw you away,” he lamented.

While acknowledging that some people are thriving in the commercial banking sector, he claimed that such individuals often have powerful connections. “It’s those who know the right people that are making it big,” he added.

In an attempt to console himself, he expressed hope for a better future. “But I know that as today marks my sixteenth year in the bank, God will show me favor — I’m confident of that,” he declared.

He concluded by saying that if anyone could help him secure a new job, he would gladly leave the banking industry, emphasizing that he’s not ready to die working in a commercial bank.

In a very funny twist, while trying to round off his speech, something amusing happened. Being the early hours of the morning, as he walked along the road, chickens nearby began making their usual morning noises, interrupting his recording. In a hilarious moment, he commanded the chickens to stop making noise, speaking in Yoruba dialect.

His lamentation has since drawn mixed reactions across various social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly known as Twitter).

jaxxy:
Nothing to show for it but u are still going there to do what??

Redman44:
O ga o. I am perplexed with this story. With WAEC's new exam papers unleashed this month, teachers will be more valued in Nigeria now. Cool.

Baronthecelebri:
He did not plan his life well

Rexymania:
....and you're fat like this? Nothing to show?

Snowx:
Please don't argue with that person..he's stating clear fact..I have a freind that worked in UBA..after she had work hard to secure big company for the branch..she stopped due to stress and pressure to meet target after all she was doing to meet up

Adewale1603:
you want to tell me that you never see fat and fresh beggars, security, gateman before. What does being fat has to do with someone suffering and going through ordeals. Being fat is your hereditary and DNA, it has nothing do with being enjoying. As Nigerians are suffering now, are there still no more fat people again in the country.

OriOko88:
He's still going there because he has no choice. There are little choices in Nigeria. Or do u hv any offer for him?

ppogba:
If speaking out like this with valuable information is your own definition of speaking out then, there must be a new definition of stupidity. Perhaps, you are the poster boy.

Toosure70:
Not only banking man. Nigeria na hell phase 2

Celestialsword:
This man is not focused,he has no plans,he lives direction less, hence this frustrating remark.

Since he knew there's no future for him there,he would have planned his exit.

This is actually the reason why most commercial bank staffs take to fraudulent means to make it because they've virtually lost hope.

It's never too late,he can still plan his exit legitimately.

Jamie248:
Why are you telling us?

Idiot

Every HND holder in the banking sector in Nigeria are the weeping Boys.

Theyre the the second class citizens in the banking industry. They constitute over 85% of any bank's staff.
They do the bulk of the jobs and are exposed to so much risks, yet they're the least paid.

What happens in the Nigeria banking industry is simply MODERN DAY SLAVERY.

Contract Staffs / DSAs in all the commercial banks are really frustrated. The descrpancy is just unimaginable.

Tellers do the jobs and denied their allowances and bonuses.

Marketers are given unimaginable targets monthly without any tangible benefits. IMAGINE A BANK ASKING MARKETERS TO OPEN OVER 150 ACCOUNT MONTHLY AND A CASH DEPOSIT OF OVER 100 MILLION...??
And if after 3 months you don't deliver, you're thrown out to the street without anything.

This happens even in CBN

No one hears their cries. CBN has turned a blind eye on this complaint and lamentations.

BANKS LIKE ZENITH BANK AND ECO BANK ARE BURIAL GROUNDS FOR CONTRACT STAFFS OR HND HOLDERS.

Zenith Bank will keep you static as a bulk teller for over 20yrs and then throw you out when you get too old and weak.
Ecobank will keep you for 6yrs as a teller and throw you out later.
ECOBANK REMAINS THE LEAST PAYING COMMERCIAL BANK IN NIGERIA AND OVER 95% OF HER STAFF STRENGTH ARE ALL CONTRACT.

Ask him his voting pattern for that 16 years?

You have to do what you love, not what will make you rich.

I wrote a book 8 years ago, which took me 6 years of reading and research to complete. But at the last check, I've sold just about 200 copies. On top of that, I recently wrote another one.

I was about to start writing a third book but my laptop computer developed a fault. I gave it to a technician to repair but more problems developed. I am just waiting to get a new laptop to start writing another.

When I write a book, I feel like freeing myself from prison. And it may surprise you that it's not because I like writing per se but because I like sharing the type of information I write about.

By the way, I've put out all the books out there for FREE. If I make money from it, fine. If I don't, fine.

Do something you like.

How would that have changed anything? Mumu talk.
