Hello Nlers, please I need only matured inputs here. I have an engaged friend in Nigeria whose Fiancee's family (family of the guy) is standing in strong opposition to her marrying their son. I have inquired, the only reason I get is that the girl is a bank marketer. Please forgive my ignorance bc I am lost and have not been to Naija for a while. I have tried Google but couldn't get answers.

1. What do Nigerians have against female bank marketers; isn't it a career like others?
2. Apart from rumors any real stories or claims to support this beliefs?
3. How many guys here can date or marry a female bank marketer?

Honestly, I am just lost. This sounds like a dream job where I am based, so I can't understand the family's strong opposition. Abeg can someone educate me?

go and ask Google search engine. There's a section there meant for fools like you. They'll answer you. Oponu

totorimi:
97% of female bank marketers are glorified prostitutes and I have enough real life stories to buttress my position.

Many a banks have realized the power of a woman when it comes to securing those deals. I challenge any female marketer on NL to swear that she has never at any point given in either by way of love or meeting target. I will rather marry a known pro than delude myself thinking I have a saint as a wife who is a female bank marketer. They will do anything for that deposit. God forbid. Even the way they dress of not for dress code in the banks u won't be able to distinguish them from those other ones.

Woged2005:
Hmmmm! but you did not give any real proof why u will take such a stand as a father. That's what I am eager to hear. Does anyone have a real story to back up these fears about female bank marketers or it's just perception?

suavetony:
There are so many ways to achieve ones target as a female marketer...especially wen the lady in question is professionally minded.

Is only those that don't have something "upstairs" among them that indulge in such acts.

All she needs to do is to convince her clients of d short term benefits, interest or profit if they bank with them.

priscaoge:
That's d problem we face in Nigeria. Someone I know actually quit the job due to the pressure from d bank and especially the conditions given to her by these rich men.

There is so much more to marriage than you can ever understand unless you have spent some years in it. Especially in an African marriage where family is still held in high esteem. Also the Impact of a divorce on the spouses and kid's is terrible. Marriage comes with allot of joy but also with pain. The parents are aware of this and want to avoid their son making a wrong choice. However the girl should be judged by all her qualities and not her job. Sometimes a LovePeddler can make a better wife than a Virgin. It might have been circumstances that led her to have to take the job. It is also circumstances that make women compromise their bodies . As long as the man can deal with her past if the woman has good qualities and he loves her let him go ahead. But parents hardly change their opinion for the better. She would be on scrutiny throughout the marriage.

I'm also curious as to why banks in Nigeria employ more female (beautiful young ladies) to their male counterparts in the marketing department...there must be a reason for such.

jabojafa:
let me tell u why..... I cud rememba wen i wz sti in d uni, and my state gov visited our sch wich is in anoda state. So our association thru d presido tried to present a gitf to d gov bt d security ppl didnt giv him access. So we went back n brought a young girl dt wz part of us to present d gift to d governor and lo n behold she gained access n brought back 2million naira cash for us. Dat wz d 1st time i saw dt kind of moni even though i wznt mine.

perryy:
[b]As a male banker who is in the know of how those ladies operate, I won't allow my son to marry any female bank marketer.[/b]In our branch here in Ota, we had a case where a colleague of ours dated a father and went on to date his son when the man died,all in the name of deposit. The pressure is just too much for them.

How will a woman who has signed a post dated letter of resignation says no to a man who promised her 100m deposit? She knows the only thing that will make her regional head not to forward her letter HCM at the end of the month is her meeting her target or even 50% of it. If she says yes to the man, she will keep her job and may even be celebrated, depending on how much she has brought in relation to her target, if she says no, she is out of the job at the end of the month. Can her husband pay her 300k per month? How much is her husband's salary self? The temptation is NOT resist able

Icecomrade:

donholy28:
The news about them is that they sometimes engage in too much fucckery just for d contract and they mostly don't have enough time for their kids...but anyway it depends on the lady involved and how much ur friend loves her

mutter:
As I wrote she should be judged by her qualities and not by her job.
The job of a bad reputation. Certainly does not mean that every woman conpromses in the job .
But I go a step Futher to say even if she did it might be circumstances that led to it.
Nigeria is a country without any social or welfare system. In such a country it is unfair to stand in judgment over anyone that has to compromise. This is the sad situation and abuse of wo.en brought about by a foul system.

Icecomrade:
Whose opinion is it that the job has a bad reputation?

mutter:
I guess most people of his parents age share that opinion.
About 30 years ago when there was the boom of merchant banks in Nigeria and marketers. As at that time many of them had little idea of anything to do with banking.
merchant banks sprang up then like mushrooms . It took some years before the government became more alert .
I do not doubt that the job of a marketer today is highly qualified and professional but parents of today probably still have the old picture in their head.

Icecomrade:
Merchant Banks or commercial Banks? Is it 30yrs ago or About 20yrs ago?

Please what transpired with influx of new generation banks at about the time you are making reference that are stuck in the head of our old parents?
