I have said it before anybody working in any Bank in Nigeria should take it that he or she is just gathering enough money to do something else in the shortest possible time.
Truly, bank job in Nigeria is not a job at all for any graduate, if not for job scarcity no graduate should even aspire to work there. In the past I learnt it was called white collar job for school cert holders, a jerky thankless job indeed, you give in all your time and energy and oneday without any meetings or notice the victim is thrown out of the system like a pack of rubbish. God forbid that I should work in a bank in Nigeria, a very demeaning job no future, no job security.
The worst of it is that as the person is sent away he or she is paid nothing, if I had my way I will say the affected staff should plant a bomb and blow up the bank it is not worth being called a bank.

When you see them in traffic they all, decked up in suit and ties like say they are have any job just one decision by the clueless MDs they are back to square one. You will see them bankers picking up LG goods on credit to intimidate their neighbors working in other sectors as though they paid cash, collect loans to buy brand new cars, collect loans to go on holidays abroad, collect loans to buy the latest mobile phones, hang around the choicest nightclubs and be forming big boys and girls yet they have no steady jobs.

Compare them to others working in the government offices and oil companies, these are the real workers they have job security they can plan, slow and steady they achieve itheir life ambitions.
I don't know what went wrong maybe it was when desperadoes started opening banks and employing all Tom dick and Harry that started living above their income with adventurous MDs,maybe it was when professionalism was sacrificed on the alter of target drives and profit realization at all cost.

Banks should be merged and let only four big and reliable banks remain with a wide branch network and regional administration to serve the nation, others an be mere micro finance institutions.
I have no pity for those yanked off the network because it is a normal thing, I am sure the wise one amongst them have all put their plan B in motion because I know no sane human being working in any of those places called banks will be there without a plan B.
Sack is second nature there, unlike in public sector once you are employed your contract is with the HR department in the Nigerian banks a small customer service girl sleeping with any Executive or the MD can sack a professional staff under the flimsiest excuse.
If you know too much and you are too good at your work and sitting atop you is a blockhead manager you can be sacked.

It is a useless sector as far as I am concerned full of nonsense and smelliness, for those still working there please learn from these ones some of them were victims of high level witch hunting and some were just unlucky not that they are bad staff. So you still there begin to plan your exit and find something more assuring to do so that nobody can mess you up. Just imagine a man with kids in school and perhaps a housewife in this Buhari government, just tell me how you expect such a person to survive. After wearing suit everyday to start wearing normal shirt and trousers. It is terrible I tell you.
This makes a whole lot of sense!!

Seems you are in the system...

God....... Please interven.. While growing up, we were told to go to school, get a good grade and for sure, we will get a good job..... We weren't told that we can be kick out at any giving time. How would these folks survive in this hard economic condition ?
As some people are being kicked out of this bank, many are being newly employed as I am talking now.

Pray for God's favour dear.

APC: ''We will create 3,000,000 jobs in a year.'' A year after, over 3,000,000 people lost their job.
What an irony?

APC/BUHARI promised to create more than one thousand Employment opportunities within 1 year in office but the reverse is the case.

BUHARI provided more than 2 thousand unemployments within one year in office adding to the number of unemployed people in Nigeria due to his KINDERGARTEN ECONOMIC POLICIES.

SAI BABA!!!

i now understand the dream i had last year....
i was in the room with buhari and people kept walking in and out of his office asking for employment.
Every soul that walked in were either sacked or were unemployed looking miserable. they were so many. i woke up and told my neighbor of my dream and she asked me to pray....

i never took the dream seriously and here it is....
Life is getting tougher but luckily for me, i just manage to not get broke.
We need to pray more.

See me here de struggle with this situation for 1 year plus now, 2 kids in School n my Madam sef still be student. You /He said the truth....and my age de that Mid 30s Wey dey sidelined by present recruitment age requirement. Please Bank Staff out there work hard but remember this...Have a solid plan B. The Job is a mirage, you may not understand but I know what I am saying. As a Political Scientist, analyzing this country in relation to Banking, take it from me that what you positively expect from Banking Sector and its workforce can only prosper in a Financially Corrupt Economy.

Lagos — Some 700 former workers of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) sacked by the bank's management last week are heading to the court to contest what they termed unlawful termination of their appointments.

The affected workers fall within the category of those who have served the bank for three to five years and all of them were said to be university graduates.
Firing and hiring isn't a new thing in Nigeria and around the world. This link showed pple were fired in 2011 when Nigeria was enjoying 110/130 dpb of crude. Even almighty HSBC sacked and are planning to sack more.

This government sef.
Organizations are sacking, some are slashing salaries, others are not promoting staff neither are they recruiting. It is not easy for both people in the system and people that even want to enter.

Madam, with God things will work out for good.
