The policy or law that empowers the government employing only bankers to manage the apex bank should be amended to include economists, management experts, seasoned accountants and finance experts.

The process is simple but the conditions very difficult. If you are eventually admitted, you will be through the Direct Regular Course where you will spend eighteen months to become an officer.
There is a cavaet however.
You may have to live with the fact that some of your mates will be promoted rapidly while you rot on the same level for a while.
But its an interesting journey all the way.
From an ex officer candidate back in the day. 1994,1995,1996,1997.
Yungmil: Different people have different things that keeps them happy which might include, football( more especially men), music, film,church activities, girlfriend and boyfriend stuff, drinking, smoking,travelling and so on.
For me aside other things, as a chelsea fan I love footbal. It makes me happy.
What about you
Blind FAITH in the Almighty to deliver me from any situation.
It only confirms the fact that all the governors in the Northwest and North East are of foreign origin and the principal sponsors of Boko Haram along with the French and American governments.
Ychick: Please if you don’t understand the culture of the Ijaw city states of the eastern delta. It is important you ask. Under the acculturation system of the ijaw city states of the eastern delta. There are 2 ways to become a citizen. 1. By birth 2. By adoption where a head money is paid. (siwi igbi). The literal meaning of Jaja’s full name Jugbo Jugbo fem is somebody bought somebody else. So of course he is of Igbo descent and he was bought by Anna people and became his child by adoption. In ijaw society nobody is a slave, he was raised as a child with full rights of the Anna people house that allows him to even replace his father as chief.
Now on the issue of Amachree, I am a direct descendant of Amachree (8th great great grand father), and King Abbi (5th great grand father) any of my brothers can become Amayanabo of Kalabari (New Calabar) if they contest and win. Amachree’s mother was a Kalabari woman from the original Kalagbea ward. But his father was a freshwater Ijaw man from the central delta. He is not of Igbo origin, although he bought a lot of ibo people from the interior to expand the Kalabari population, and reinforced the idea that all Kalabari people are his people. There is a saying that King Amachree o e da fe a or inyingi fem- meaning if he did not buy your father, he bought your mother. Now on Bonny, they migrated from the central delta- fresh water ijaw land, and stayed for a while in ndokki, where the group split into 2, and some went to Bonny which the new indigenes called Okoloba. In Bonny, with the rise of the palm oil trade and the large number of slaves from the ibo interior. Bonny made a different decision than the kalabari’s by making ibani ijaw a secret language for the elites, so that their numerous slaves will not overthrow them. So ibo became the trade language. This decision means that someone like Jaja who was the foster child of a big chief spoke fluent ibani because he was an elite, and I have read diaries of the British consul trying to settle the fight between opobo and bonny chiefs, with Kalabari and Okrika chiefs as mediators for both groups. All the chiefs from the 4 kingdoms were speaking ijaw because the eastern jaw dialect of kalabari, Okrika, bonny and opobo are mutually intelligible. Now, in new calabar all new adoptees, we don't call them slaves, had to learn the kalabari language, and in fact your ability to speak kalabari determined how fast you could integrate into your new society, that is why in kalabari land. Ibo never gained a foothold like in bonny and the subsequent state of opobo did. So of course we too had lots of people from the ibo interior acculturated into our societies. But, you are an ijaw person, not a slave and you are accorded full rights of a full citizen. So the whole calling Jaja a slave is a joke gone too far. He was the pampered and privileged child of a wealthy chief.
Nice to have you on Nairaland. I hope you will be able to put this together as a history textbook in Future
Papparassi: King Jugbo Jugbo (Jaja) of Ibani kingdom of Opobo lived while in exile in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines between 1888 and 1891. The plaque by the side of the gate of the house confirms it.
Vaughanlanrewaj: Dear sir, only the enemies of Nigeria hate Alhaji Lai Mohammed . That's one of the best ex-Chief of Stafff Lagos State has ever had. He is not only an experienced Lawyer, he is a brilliant administrator and a communicator with first degree in French Language yet he was not from a rich background. He is old enough to be a father to many of you .
If you are old enough to know who Alhaji Lai Mohammed is, you will know that you still have a long way to go in your own life and you don't cover such milestones in life if as a youth one spends all his or her time on Nairaland. It's particularly an unwise use of time hiding behind the anonymity of this kind of platform to run down others. Seriously, for most of you, Lai Mohammed is the least of your problems, what you need to deal with first is the consequences of bad character of living different lifestyles online and offline , bad upbringing and highly addictive self imposed idleness.
May God bless Lai Mohammed and other patriots . May God bless Nigeria. All the enemies of Nigeria will always lose .
Even his own generation has been exposed to the affliction of lies and pestilence he brought upon this country.
Buckeyemedia1: But the Lands Use Act 1978, gives the Governor the power to allocate no more than 400 Hectares @ once for grazing, so which law is President Buhari breaking? Your ignorance to the provisions of the law, is always your downfall.
But did not empower these murderous parasites to encroach,maim and kill in the name of Land Use Act or take it by force?
It also empowers the governor to decide who to allocate land.
Goldbw122: When I mean dirty deeds, I mean manipulation, cheating, fortifying of document and many more.
When you look the good business and transaction you have done, over the years, you see that you have wasted your time, you have had different opportunity to make your life wealthy, but you justlet it slide because you want to have a good record, but along time line no money to finance your life. And you have the opportunity again, is it wise to do the dirty deeds or not.. regarding the consequences that follow.
Criminals milking the innocent in the name of God.
black mans wickedness.
The cost of maintaining that jet will lift at least 10000 people from his members annually.
Thats why they hated TB Joshua.
He helped and shared with the poor spiritually and financially.
I remember the day he brought a truckload of rice to beggars during Ramadhan fasting in Kaduna. It was the day TBJ earned my respepct as a true man of God.
These ones are sophisticated criminals and occultists.
Working in private sector organisations and growing through the ranks, opens your head to infinite opportunities as against any government bureaucracy job that only allows you to think in one direction, working for promotion and recognition.
I have always known this about state and federal govt jobs as far back as my university days.
When my mother was talking about helping me get a job at one govt ministry in our home state I rebuked her with every fibre in my body
I had to warn her one day not to ever mention that to me again, then I told her I will make my own way in the labour world and it won't be with a state or federal govt parastatal.
Working there would have been like having cancer of the brain for me, because of my personality.
CharisEleos: If she's trying to build a career path, let her go for the lecturing job. but if she wants to build her bank account, let her go for the Coca-Cola job.
The latter is a multinational company and will pay well. She'll also enjoy other Ex Gratia and bonuses that the company makes from yearly profits. I remember when I was with Guinness, Oba Akran Ikeja then.. Lots of benefits for staff.
Yey!!!! FTC for second time today! I'm the number ONE!
I was just about to tell her same. I also worked at John Holt, UTC Tech and Mantrac and i can tell that the career and bank account path in this organisation is wonderful.
Jerryherd: Just Like Acting President Yemi Osinbajo SAN granted Nnamdi Kanu bail releasing from DSS and ungrateful Ibos still called him mere commissioner...
