Those of you begging bankers money, you see it is not easy anywhere in Nigeria. That is why I recommend online dating for people who need financial assistance. White people have good hearts. They have pity. They will help you if they have. You never know until you try. If it is only $500 the person sends, this is N200,000. Imagine what N200,000 will do in your life now.

This is what I did last year December when I was broke. I got a white lady through online dating and begged her. She help me and I opened a betting shop that is feeding me up to today. If I did not do online dating in December, by this lockdown, I would being eating sand. Don't just eat all the money you get. Start something small.

For those people sending PM and asking me which dating site I used, it is Bit Mistress. See the link in the pic below [/quote]

if you own a business you won't say such at the detriment of your business...

if u were a staff of access bank u won't make such comment.

have u seen d pyramid of staff salaries in these banks?

payment of staff salaries n allowance is wide at d top with just few persons, while the payment of these 75% is thin even though dey are much.

senior managers n above have official cars, subscription n even get paid for medical trips abroad while the so called cleaners n outsource staff don't have such privilege except what dey collect at d end of d month.

sacking I d 75% of outsource staff will still not add much to their profit, check d salary of d cleaner compare it to dat of a senior manager n tell me d %age.

dey should start with d top management staff dat way I will know dey are cutting cost.

a cleaner collects 20k.per month while an SM collects a million at d end of d month now tell me who is suppose to go?

in a year d average outsource staff salary is not even up to d monthly pay of a senior manager.

sometimes some of u comment without thinking

try to have human sympathy.

I really feel for those non-essential workers. And many of those that previously worked in Diamond Bank. Especially those Diamond bank branches close to an Access Bank branch. We have too many branches of both banks few feet away from each other.

I really hope some of those workers saw this coming and took measures to cushion the incoming retrenchment.

For those talking about a 1 billion naira donation. 7000 people x N100,000 = N700,000,000 or N700 million in a month.

Their permanent staff is just 7000. Their temporary/contract workers are far more than that. Also, many workers collect far more than N100k. So that N1 billion is far less than their salary budget for a month.

Access Bank has a total staff strength of 28,000 with a personnel expenditure of N76 billion in 2019. That's over N6 billion a month.

You must also realise that some of these donations are eye-service that is key to getting contracts and favors from the government. Also, it is a PR move. In the next few years, they will tell investors and the general public how they helped Nigerians during the Covid-19 crisis. Everything is well-calculated and factored out.

There will be a global recession, and it makes no sense to have a bloated workforce. In the end, I blame China for all these.

Nice, you've sense

Baba that is not true, cleaners and tea girls earn average of 31k, Access bank have ND holders who they pay average of 50k , security personnel average of 60k, HND holders between 80k to 90k plus. Largest work force are ND holders who are their in-house Tellers and acquired Diamond Tellers who earn average of 50k followed by cleaners and security personnel.

Well, i think people should not complain too much on banks as my cousin working in Access bank already mentioned this to me & is praying fervently not to be sacked as the wage cut is inevitable but sack is the worst.

He said for the past month customers were only withdrawing funds from Access Bank & not much deposit were made via cash or cheque lodgement as a lot of their branches operated skeletally.

Obviously we are in for a tough time ahead economy wise but GOD is great & will see us thru this tough times as entrepreneurs

The equation in the banking sector is a linear one. less business translates to lesser work activities and fewer hands are needed as a result.

There will. Banks are been forced to innovate now. What is happening is banks are been forced to move away from their traditional approach to banking e.g banking halls, over the counter withdrawals and so on

This is what Fintechs have been doing e.g Kuda
To catchup and be up to speed with innovation, they'll need new hands just the same way tech companies are in constant need for devs and product people to continually innovate.

There is a huge gap that needs to be filled in the retail space where the unbanked need to carry out transactions without visiting banking halls.

You are spitting out theories and no facts for recruitment, nothing new have you stated about changing in banking sector this is old new

1. The economy will fall into a recession. Soonest , no company can post of a profit save for consumables , IT, and telecoms

2. Every company wants to cut costs they will drop staff and down scale ops

3. Stop talking about that which you have no idea , it is not just in Nigeria all over the world work forces are being cut , Microsoft, British airways cut over 600 staff last week, Chevron cut over 1000 last month same with Agip , I could go on and on

Fed govt will not patronize them if they don’t donate such funds & they were trying to give back to society.

We all don’t know exactly what went behind closed doors with this huge donations as if they were compelled to give fed govt this monies but the after effect of the Coronavirus will be devastating to the economy & people if care is not taken.

Nigeria lost a lot of funds from crude oil poor low sales & even fed govt is merging agencies plus scrapping some parastatals off to cut over head cost so many heads will roll to the un-employment status.

May GOD see us thru this tough trying times

Both the topic and the content is misleading. How can a bank sack 75% of it's workforce? How is that possible? People listened to a video without understanding simple statement.

Herbert said, those auxiliary staff constitute 75% of the entire workforce and their contract will be reviewed with their employers to know the number that is actually needed by Access Bank.

Mind you, the bank might end up disengaging only about 30-40% of the contract staff.

For professional staff, he mentioned that the pay cut will be based on level. If the GMD gets 40% deduction then the lowest officer might get like 5% deduction.[/quothi

I have quoted you twice without sounding brash or throwing tirades. I have not insulted you either in any of my posts but since you want to go that route, leggo

1. Yes the economy is already in recession BUT companies are still posting profits. Say what you know. Some fintech/payment companies in the forex business, are making a kill
2. Every company scaling cost is relative to their revenue. Nobody will reduce overhead when the bottomline is not impacted or at risk of been imparted. I work in an international tech company, we're not scaling costs or retrenching..
3. Shut your mouth up and say what you know. The companies you listed have direct hit because of the nature of their business. Oil prices are down, so is demand. It makes sense to cut cost. The airspace has been shut for weeks, meaning no money is coming in for airlines.So your comparison, holds no water...

Let me lecture your block head...With every challenge, comes innovation. Every one is been forced to innovate, including the banks. Companies are still raising funds. Head to techcrunch and see companies doing seed, series etc They are not your traditional oil & gas companies or airlines

A Nigerian tech company Okra, raised $1 million un funding during this covid-19 pandemic. They are currently hiring. The only companies that will survive are those who have embraced innovation and change a long time ago. We have been shouting cashless for years but we still use banking halls. Now this virus will force that change and life goes on

Not just Nigerians, I’m afraid...
The ENTIRE WORLD is due some pain, some more than others though.

I’m afraid that Nigeria doesn’t have money to share among its citizens, because Nigeria is actually a POOR country (as much as people do not want to face reality and our rulers behave otherwise). In many of those countries, laid-off workers are only getting benefits from unemployment INSURANCE (which means they made payments from their wages), and in other countries most citizens actually pay their full taxes as and when due, giving the government more revenue to build and sustain a social safety net. Here, everyone is looking share money but no one contributes.
>
I'm not in support of our dilapidated tax system but I tell u, the money we generate from our natural resources can take care of our current and unforseen problems if well managed.

How much is talked about taxation in Saudi Arabia and other oil rich nations. They basically takes care of themselves with proceeds from oil not to talk of other abundant natural resources here.
