GTBank is the most useless, most overrated & the 2nd most fraudulent bank in Nigeria after UBA.

Listen to me Segun Agbaje, I do not know if you're in anyway related to Jimi Agbaje but thunder of Shango in collaboration with the javelin of Ogun Lakaaye Oshimale will fire you if you do not fire that witch called Ajibike Ijioma within the next 24hours - Awon omo ale jati-jati!

Segun and Jimi are brothers from a very influential family in Lagos.

GTBank was fine until Uncle Tayo died and the arrogant Segun became the MD.

I can bet that Segun will never sack the likes of Ajibike because Segun himself can even drain your blood to make money.

All the OP said here are true and I must add that working as a contract staff in GTBank is next to living in hell. The inhuman volume of work assigned to these contract staff is not so much of the problem, but the unprovoked insults from GTBank core staff members.

Things became worst since Segun took over as MD. First, the main pillars of the bank left and incompetent and wicked souls replaced them.

Their Operations Division became worst since Sadiq Bello left. More shocking was when Aku Odinkemelu left marketing to Fidelity and all the best branch managers followed suit.

The GTBank Contact centre (GTconnect) was the best unit to work in when Madam Uwem was there. In fact, it was like a normal family with strong bonding.

The problem we have in Nigeria is bad and inept leadership. Imagine where my good brother (Ngige) is made the minister for Labour and Employment just because he has to be "settled". What exactly does Ngige know in that ministry? The honest answer is NOTHING.

We can point to unemployment as the cause of these exploitations and inhuman treatment but the truth is, other countries have unemployment problems too but those who are employed, are adequately protected by law. I read yesterday on this platform, the lamentation of an employee who the employer refused to give offer letter and we have regulators and constituency representatives.

While the comment seems insensitive, it is actually very true! If you were on the other side you will do as the bosses are doing. It's a profit-oriented business. Human feelings has stopped Fuelling businesses for a while now.

The Labour Congress are the only people that can help change the status quo, else it will continue even when OP climbs the ladder and becomes the boss too

Re: Modern Day Slavery At GTB Contact Center by optimus09: 7:17am On Jul 15, 2016
arch3typ3:
The Guaranty trust bank Contactcenter is not without it challenges in terms of working condition and the remuneration from inception just like every other organisation where contract staff make up the bulk on their work force. And who can blame these business owners since the country’s leadership, both the executive and the legislative arm do not care about her citizens hence business owners exploit the situation, pay you peanut while they ride you like slaves. The shameless leaders even parade statistics of inhuman jobs endured by countless Nigerians who helplessly hope someone would care enough to speak for them one day.


But when those managing the Guaranty Trust bank contact center (Bolaji Lawal(Group head) Ajibike Ijoma (Manager) and Omolade Abogunrin (Assistant Manager) and their foot soldiers) think its their right to treat family men and women who had humbled themselves in the face of economic reality with such impunity, then someone needs to stop them.  The introduction of the Indians into GTB management system had made me realise the definition of slavery Mentality. Yes, they are taking advantage of the current economic crisis to turn the contract staffs into glorified maids in ties and gown who you chained with rules, but please, trample on us with respect. It is all we ask for, give us the respect we deserve as human, even house maids deserve a level of respect.


You changed our working condition four times within the last 12 month without notice and we have not complained.


Our office space was relocated from Opebi to Lekki and promised us a staff bus. You provided four 14 sitter bus to cater for over 200 staffs at the time and withdraw two buses claiming the drivers resign. Leaving over 240 people to fight for a sit in two 14 sitter bus and Ajibike do not fail to remind us everyday that the bus is a privilege which can be withdrawn at any time. We never complained.


You made us work nine and half hours shift for a standard 6 hours shift job and made to close at 8:30pm even though we are under paid and we still have to struggle to get a bus to our various destinations which become increasingly difficult at night along the lekki epe axis, yet we did not complain.


We are made to work extra one hour if we are 10minutes late and have pre-informed our supervisor, And if we are unable to reach our supervisor to pre-informed them of running late, we are handed extra two hours extra even if we are only 10min late. Hence people run to the office In the rain, drenched from head to toe and would still have to endure the effect of the air condition on their wet body. Meanwhile yourself and your team leads (Gtbank staffs) could come to work later and be welcomed with smiles even though you have your private vehicle.


You control our health in spite of the inhumane working condition you have subjected us to. We can only call in sick for a single day without a doctor’s report if not you will pay back your sick days, get a memo (query) and have your salary deducted. You are asking people without Health Insurance from their employers to present a Doctors report for every form of sickness. Goddess Ajibike sent a committed and highly skilled agent packing for being ill even though she produced her doctor’s report? She claims she (the Agent) falls ill too often, I remember we are simply contingency staff and we could be disposed of faster than lawma pick up your trash.


You make us the scapegoat for the slaughter for any customer rated issue for which we have no fault, we even condone the act. ‎You introduce several unfriendly policies on customers, they got angry and bombard us with calls, we try our best to calm them down, call traffic will automatically get high due to insufficient agents, and at the end of the day we get extra hour as punishment for call drop due to high call traffic. This is the height of injustic.

We are made to work for 9hours 30 minutes on every festive period, Christmas, New Year and all public holiday without any form of reduce hours, make up time off or remuneration but these you do for your own staffs (GT staff).  And to make matters worse she woke up one morning and introduced an irregular shift pattern which is harmful, manipulative and wicked, without any recourse for the health implication of such. To further aggravate the already bad situation, work schedule for a new week is released between Friday evening and Sunday of the concluding week, making it impossible to plan your schedule. Secondly we only have two irregular days off each week, without public holiday and festive rights so why reduce our 48hours of rest to approximately 30hours.

Could anyone imagine that almighty GTB contactcenter only give 3 bottles of dispenser water per day for over 200 agents. Knowing fully well that our job is about talking and talking. And am very sure none of us is bathing with the water. 


The latest of these barbaric acts is Ajibike dishing out extra 30mins and 40mins respectively to the entire inbound agent at will for no just cause, other than the fact that no one could challenge her or stop her. She claims she does it because we have drop calls but that is a lie. The first few times she did, we receive statistical data from the external consultant at the contactcenter showing call data. The reports show that over 100% of projected call inflow was picked while drop calls were from the excess call above call traffic projection. she makes us work extra hour to clean up her mess which she created by under projecting the call traffic.


We at the contactcenter are not asking for too much all we are saying is TREAT US WITH RESPECT. You are not better than us, you are only privileged. And all your brag that you could never need any of us outside the contactcenter is not true, do you know how I know this? Because you are not God, you are just human, nothing more.

This contact agents handles the customers most sensitive information, we have access to every vital details of customers, over the years we have proven our loyalty and honesty. Treating us like a slave is like exposing your customers fund to a very high risk. Sir Segun Agbaje (CEO) needs to act fast before it become a story that touch.

I miss two people in GTBank, late Tayo the former CEO and Uwem the former contactcenter manager. Please do not destroy their legacy


Best regard.
Concern GTB contract slave(staff)
sorry,the problem is everywhere,when you ask indians to manage your business then you get all this problems.same happened to me,where 6hrs shift was also changed to 9hrs i had to resign.Well when you are in a country where your leaders are a greedy set,God help you.

I know You.

You are stuck at the bottom rung of your multilevel market. The only way to escape from the bottom rung is to trap as many new intakes as possible. Brianwash them to hate themselves and curse themselves but bless you as their god and saviour.

You spend sleepless nights wandering where and whence you will get new recruits. You burn all your energy on long seminars and long speeches where ONLY YOU speak and the others must listen but not speak there by making yourself lord and master over other people.

I know you.

You are very happy to pick up stories like this and use in your marketing seminar. To tell the new recruits to use this person as an example. You will happily make business out of the plight of others.

I know you.

You have no product you are selling nor are you offering any service. But DESPERATELY NEED the money of people selling products and offering services for your own marketing scheme to work. Without them you are nothing. It is their money they feeds your greed. Yet, you are very confident and proud to tell these same people that they are so stupid and are all idiots to be providing goods and services.

I know you. You sound just like the Devil a fallen Angel. You have knowledge of good and evil, but ultimately your plight is to trap as many as possible under your multilevel market bondage.

Once they are trapped, you will leave them to suffer sleepless nights and brain cracking. You will use your top level target as bait for them. Even if they sold their village to the money for your paper form, you will not mind. It was people like you that sold their fellow black people as slaves to whitemen. Black people who are completely confused and have lost all their history in America. They can't stay, they can't comeback. They will never be seen equal to white men no matter what policies are made.

I know you.

And your have come to feed on this poor soul.

Away with your evil . God will provide for this man/woman without your misguidance.

Mr/Mrs OmniKnoweth, keep knowing. U think am begging anybody to join? Is it my life... AS long am making my 6 digits week in week out, am cool with dat. If I were looking for recruits, ama drop links and contacts on how ppl should reach me. I don tayah for recruit sef..

The labour laws are still ok. Employees do not just know their rights and the Union guys are easily settled by the large corporates.

You can sue an abusive Manager and employer for the psychological impact, emotional trauma and for infringing on your human right. This can be done if you get a good lawyer that can take up the case and get paid at the end of the long and tortous legal tussle.

The major problem is the judiciary. The corporates easily get the judges bribed. There has been a case between Ecobank staff and the bank in court for the past 6years and the Judge has not even made an appreciable hearing on the case, in in whooping 6years.

If people could stop doing facebook and start reading online,lives would change !

I spend averagely 8hours studying daily.Especially online.

I join forums interact with asians especially get more ideas..

Nothing can stop one other than what one doesn't know.

For Example New blogs popping up here n there means blogs would require write ups.Even Newbulletins on the web would need write ups.

One can make a living from this.

One write up cost abour 400naira,if one does one for 400naira at wholesale cost after writing 1000articles it will amount to 400,000naira.
