First bank just sent their no accommodation mail..Hmmn. Unfortunately some of us are on our way to Lagos already.

Fzat:
Congratulations to all those that have received their TS mail. But what about accommodation? Those that reported to TS last week were not given accommodation and they are still struggling to find one. May I suggest to those of us that will be reporting 24th to start working on something,so that together we can move in group and report that morning. May be 2 persons per room to spend the night,it will be cheaper for those of us that are not buoyant enough

Very good idea .I sent u a mail bro..

[quote author=xtanburg post=19505852]Alright people, quick one...

FBN is very very very very very strict when it comes to documentation and certificate verification.

If there are disparities or discrepancies in your names or other detail, then I think you should get them fixed before documentation, because successful documentation and certificate verification is the key to medicals. But if there are issues with your documents then its a no no for FBN, they will not continue with your candidacy and you'll have to wait till the next recruitment process, then u re-apply and g through the headache of reading, preparing, HBP for result etc..... u know what I am talking about.

So make hay now as FBN focuses on your WAEC Certificates because it carries your real DOB, and if you want to use NECO, make sure U go with your real NECO certificate that has your DOB, then twill pass. But truly FBN prefers WAEC, but you might be lucky if you go with NECO and pull through. All U need is Prayers. FBN just want to be sure of your age. dats all.... shikena!!!

Remember, even if you lie your way through to get into the Bank, you might not last, as FBN does Background check yearly on all her over 15,000 staff. Then you will be asked to voluntarily resign if you are found wanting or forced out. But for the new people coming in, you will be fished out during confirmation period (after you've worked and earned the Armed robber salary for 6months or more). For confirmation, you will have to undergo another documentation/certificate verification process, and FBN will request for a letter of recommendation which will have to be sent to FBN from your primary school, secondary, university, referee, guarantors and other professional bodies, before you are certified and confirmed as full FBN staff. FBN goes as far as sending spies to your home location to ask your neighbours about your kind of person, if you are a trouble-maker or trouble-shooter(peacemaker or someone who settles problems), and if you are well behaved and of good character, they ask this also from your previous place of work and get recommendations before finally confirming your appointment. (E no go easy)

My people, there are more to this than we think, so if you know your ways aint right, and your documents aint complete or you have forged your age and other details. You better forget FBN now and move on , that trying to try your luck and when the hammer falls on you, U say FBN is wicked and heartless, then U say ur enemies are at work and U begin go night vigil dey cast and bind. Now you got an Insight, be wise.

If you have any correction or verification to make in your school, WAEC/NECO, workplace etc, now is the time before you are called for documentation, even if you dont use it for FBN, there are other equal recruiters that will do the same as FBN.

I wish everyone the best, and success.... hoping to hear about your success stories and invitation for personality test(if any)

xtanburg:
@ all, I've been reading thru ds thread, quite interesting but
Lemme share with U my experience @ d FBN AC.

First of all, congrats to all who got the sms invite to the assessment centre, don't rejoice yet cus there is more shreading to b done, they r still gonna slect d best of d best. So listen carefully and follow my precept line by line. FBN might not tk more dan 100-250 new trainees nationwide. So b guided

Once U get to d AC,U'll go thru d accreditation stage. After accreditation, U will take another aptitude test, but more likened to an ability test where u'll have to think thru the scenario and choose answers from the options provided.

After which u will be divided into groups and then u'll be given a scenario to discuss with ur group. Don't argue or shout any1 down, nor interrupt, make sure U give points and make reasonable sense, don't repeat ur suggestions or findings. Smile while responding and if its possible, be the one to take down points and be concise about it, as the supervisor will ask that u submit ur findings on behalf of ur group.

Then an "addendum" will be given which u'll have to read thru to prepare ur slide. U shouldn't have more than 6-10slides, bur make it detailed if u can use animations to drive ur points from the addendum given, good one also. Pls note that u will be given 15mins to prepare ur slide and 5mins 2 present it. Remember while u r discussing with ur team, read ur addendum n note ur points. Then u'll butteress on ur point in ur slide presentation. Don't write stories, just give bullet points then explain thats why its called a powerpoint presentation. Be confident and bold, smile and focused, be sure of whatever point u make, even when they counter U and say u r wrong,always reinsist that to d best of ur own knowledge and how its obtainable(relating to ur addendum) that's wat u think. And remember to intoduce urself and what u r presenting and den thank d panel @ d end of ur presentation. Then remember don't stutter or sound unsure, twill count against U. Remember its 5mins 4 presentation and 20mins 4 preparing ur PPslide. Pls be confident ooooooo. Its germaine. And pls be calm and breatheeeeee, hold ur breathe and control ur pulse, anxiety and over excitement.

After d presentation, u'll go thru d interview stage, ds u'll b asked ur strenght, weakness, whr uv held a leadership role, wat process improvement idea do u have, ur level of creativity, alwaz remember to say u r a good team player, and u most prove and explain whr and how u were active as a team member and a team player. If u fit lie, lie ooo, nobody go ask U if na true or na lie, what is ur passion, why firstbank, why do u think we shld hire U, then know stuffs about FBN generally and read different interview questions.

Then after u r done for dat day. A week later u'll get an sms and email inviting u for a personality test. Then after answering it,u'll be sent an sms to update ur location, that whr u choose whr u wanna work, after which u'll wait as the whole process will be computed u must have a certain percentage score b4 u'll be invited to training sch, dats getting the almighty sms from FBN inviting U 4 medicals and training sch. So now yam and knife dey una hand.

I was at the assessment centre last year, made it to the training sch and FBN. Training sch was another interesting place. Quite Intensivvvvvvvvvvvvvve but fun. But above all prepare, prepare and prepare and pray pray pray as much as U can. Commit all to God and ask 4 favour. No overdo, remember overskill dey kill monkey.

Respectfully,
Xtanburg

Wish u all success and the best. Cheers

In addition, pls note that U shld try and prepare for essay writing also, garnish urself with the trends happening in d Nigerian Banking system and financial sector. Its the new trend in assessment centres, nt sure if workforce/FBN will adopt dat style. Bur its rather u prepare 4 d worse dan taken unaware.

Hope this helps. But on d whole, do Have a great one peeps...
Lemme know if u have any questions, and as soon as I'm free 2 respond, I'll fill d house in. Pls censor ur questions as I won't answer all.

Found this on 2013 thread.. could be useful to some one out there

Recently we've been getting more cryptic messages than ever before, I'm surprise that many expects this messages to be clear and direct (from FBN). Just keep them in mind and you will know when they are useful. Thought I was outta of the race too, since June 2017 AC. Mercies says No !!

nacho cheese

chai ..she no go let us hear word now.. until that one start to dey punch her. She will now be screaming all men are cruel. olodo..

komekn:
Reading payed £7 million for him.

He chose not to renew his contract it's a play on words. Wanted to work with a forward thinking manager and club that plays good technical football.

This is quite a common occurrence in the EPL players dropping a division for more money or better prospects and progression.

Nigeria 2 Poland 0

Is Ed dove following our team at all, wrong info conjoined here






Ed Dove, KweséESPN 4h
Five unanswered questions for Nigeria vs. Poland
Nigeria's World Cup preparations have largely been serene, and the Super Eagles ostensibly head to Russia in fine fettle after cruising though Africa's Group of Death in qualification and dispatching Argentina in an international friendly.
However, beneath the surface, there are still several unresolved issues for coach Gernot Rohr address during Friday's friendly against Poland in Wroclaw.
1. Who starts between the sticks?
The identity of Nigeria's first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup remains a mystery, with a handful of keepers in the running following Vincent Enyeama's international retirement and Carl Ikeme's leukaemia diagnosis.
Ikechukwu Ezenwa may be the favourite, but after a few nervy displays in qualification - and for Enyimba in the CAF Confederation Cup - alternatives have been sought.
Deportivo La Coruna wonderkid Francis Uzoho is an intriguing prospect for the future, and made his Nigeria debut in the victory over Argentina.
However, is Rohr genuinely considering a 19-year-old with only two La Liga appearances under his belt as a potential first-choice at the World Cup?
If he starts against Poland on Friday, we may have our answer.
2. Do the other CHAN stars have a role to play?
Beyond Ezenwa, who skippered the home-based Super Eagles to the final of the African Nations Championship in Morocco last month, two other members of Salisu Yusuf's squad were included by Rohr.
Centre-back Stephen Eze secured a move to Lokomotiv Plovdiv during the tournament, but appears likely to play a back-up role at best, but could striker Gabriel Okechukwu emerge as a late contender for a World Cup berth?
The powerful forward was the hero as Akwa United won the Aiteo Cup last year, and also made two decisive contributions during the CHAN.
With Junior Ajayi injured and Anthony Nwakaeme struggling for form, the door has opened for the powerful hitman to make an impression. An eye-catching contribution against Poland would certainly go down well!
3. Where else will the goals come from?
While Okechukwu likely to play a cameo role at best, Rohr still needs to configure his attacking options in order to forge the most potent offensive unit possible.
There are concerns here, with Kelechi Iheanacho struggling for form all season - he's yet to net in the Premier League for Leicester City - and Odion Ighalo only just getting his new season underway in China.
Goals can come from elsewhere in the team, from Alex Iwobi or Victor Moses, for example, but with so many forwards injured or out of sorts, an impotent attacking display against Poland might raise alarm bells.
4. Will Rohr shuffle his options at full-back?
Happily, an area of strength has become an area of weakness for Nigeria, with Rohr now able to call upon several talented full-back options.
Elderson Echiejile and Abdullahi Shehu were his first-choice pairing during the qualifiers, but the emergence of Ola Aina - a versatile and attacking option - gives the German tactician a nice conundrum to resolve.
Will he stick with Elderson and Shehu for the Poland game, or will he see whether the inexperienced Aina - arguably an upgrade on either - is up to the task?
Brian Idowu and Tyronne Ebuehi wait in the wings as tantalising options.
5. Who will replace John Obi Mikel in midfield?
Nigeria will be without arguably their most important player for the Poland game, with Mikel absent due to work permit problems.
He'll be missed, with few other African midfielders able to dictate the tempo, create goalscoring opportunities from deep or exert their authority on a contest quite like Mikel.
With him absent, and his likely replacement Oghenekaro Etebo also missing, John Ogu is the favourite to step into the midfield alongside8 Ogenyi Onazi and Wilfred Ndidi.
Defensively sound, Ogu doesn't have Mikel's same composure in possession, and a more popular choice with the purists might be the returning Joel Obi.
The Torino man's career has been blighted by injury, but now fit again - and impressing in Serie A - things may be aligned for him to make up for lost time as Nigeria's creator-in-chief.

England squad for the upcoming friendly

England's No.1 spot still up for grabs ahead of World Cup - Gareth Southgate
BURTON, England -- England's No. 1 spot at the World Cup is still up for grabs, according to manager Gareth Southgate.
Southgate has called up four goalkeepers for friendlies against Holland and Italy this month including Joe Hart and uncapped Burnley keeper Nick Pope.
Stoke's Jack Butland and Everton's Jordan Pickford have also been selected.
Hart was England's first-choice throughout the qualifying campaign but has started just one Premier League game since November for West Ham.
"Clearly the No. 1 jersey is up for grabs," Southgate told a news conference on Thursday.
"Joe has had a difficult period for his club. He had to miss game at City -- David [Moyes] did a good job in making West Ham more solid and Joe found himself out of the side.
"He's got 74 caps and he's important. We don't know how the next eight to 10 weeks will pan out."
Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill, a recent England captain, is a high-profile omission with Southgate choosing instead to hand first call-ups to James Tarkowski from Burnley and Alfie Mawson from Swansea.
Cahill has lost his place at Chelsea and was an unused substitute for the 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"I was really pleased with how we defended in November", Southgate added. "I wanted to look at Tarkowski and Mawson, not just for now but the future.
"Then there are people like [Eric] Dier who I'd like to see in a back three. It was a very difficult call, he's a player I respect and has played a lot of qualifiers.
"I think there are players not in this squad who are not out of our minds."
Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has also been called up for the first time, while Arsenal duo Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere return to the squad.
But there is no place for Brighton striker Glenn Murray, despite the striker scoring five goals in his last six Premier League games.
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling, and Michael Keane of Everton are also notable omissions.
Full England squad
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke City), Joe Hart (West Ham), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley)
Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Harry Maguire (Leicester), Alfie Mawson (Swansea), Danny Rose, Kieran Trippier (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones, Kyle Walker (Manchester City), James Tarkowski (Burnley), Ashley Young (Manchester United)
Midfielders: Dele Alli, Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Lewis Cook (Bournemouth), Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Jake Livermore (West Brom), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)
Forwards: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)
