With all this rift with Jagaban and Ambode in APC let see whether your personality will hold ground in Lagos . He should also know he is not battling with APC but With Thieftunubu.

We are watching Mr Integrity

Well said but also note that there are Political Leaders and also Political God fathers. you might be right that Saraki has not built a political reputation outside Kwara but then you can imagine the weight of his blow to APC if he finally defect. At least half of the population of Kwara hold him in high esteem. do you know what it will be like if APC losses Kwara State, the reasons why Kwara are still with a APC is because of Saraki. Let us not underestimate the power of the Senate president. the man has fought many battles and his still standing. I respect his political status. His a brave man.

HungerBAD:
Is Buhari afraid?

He should not bother about Saraki. The day Saraki leaves the APC, is the day his wandering into political obscurity and wilderness begins.

Saraki is over-estimating himself. National Politics,and National acceptance is not the same thing like playing Kwara Politics, where his father gave him bread and sardine(with a bottle of Coke) to make his journey easy.

He has not built loyalty outside Kwara State for him to be considered a threat.

nice one ops. hope someone in nairaland gets empowered by this.

But it is fair for the igbo IPOB to be declared Terrorist.

War is coming in imo

you don't need to say that again but his action its obvious. He just ignited the war syndrome in Imo State and he should be ready for it.

How many of the youth has he (Rochas) empowered or which employment has created for the so called youth or is it the Keke rider he chased out Capital City rendering them jobless. so a jobless youth looking for how to feed himself; how will he get the money? i sweep for my dear state.

The Divisional Police Headquarters in Ariaria, Aba, Abia State, allegedly set on fire by IPOB suspected members. on Thursday. The Ariaria Police Station in Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, was set ablaze by men, believed to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra on Thursday. The incident occurred some hours before the Federal Government ordered the withdrawal of troops from major towns in Abia State, which have been under siege since Saturday when the Nigerian Army began its Operation Python Dance II.The Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the burning of the police station, adding that the arsonists also injured a policeman. It was learnt that aside from the Aba incident, irate mob made for the residence of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, in Umuahia, the state capital but were repelled by some policemen at the residence, who fired tear gas canisters to disperse the surging crowd. Oyebade, who was replaced as the state’s police boss on Thursday, said the agitators did not gain entrance into the compound. Ogbonna, who stated that the attack was carried out around 6.30am, said, “Ariaria police station (Aba) was burnt down this morning. “The people that did this, we are suspecting are IPOB hoodlums.” “The people came in their numbers, besieged the station and one of our policemen was beaten up; but glory be to God, we did not lose the officer’s life.”

Why is this coming after the sultan of Sokoto have declared the Northern Governors lazy, this just another propaganda to implicate the Sultan. I pray that the Nigerian politicians will get it right some day.

[quote author=sisisioge post=58870048]Well, he could just have taken away some health benefits instead of totally banning them. Some of them could well avoid to cater for their new sex. [/quote

For them to have opted for transgender they should have calculated the medical cost and also the sustainability of their actions. Transgender is not a good thing its of the the devil. Let them bear the consequences of their action and evil deeds not putting it upon the country. Trump riding on you are on course.

Someone who can not lead a successful home, wants to lead a whole state...... this failure in the making..... i wonder why we Nigerians keeping on celebrating failures..

please anyone with a useful information of cheapest schools in Canada............. i really need info on that...... i will be glad to receive reasonable information here.

Thank you all in anticipation.

Wow this is serious....... no thanks to the economic recesssion

DaniDani:
Aside Steels, textiles, tiles, glasswares, others should remain banned. How can we be importing chicken, toothpaste, tomatoes, vegetable oils and other things we can produce here. we are not helping ourselves.

I agree with you but the fact still remains how many of this product have you engaged yourself in or financed personally. We are quick to criticism, would you resign from your job and go into farm produce. The present system doesn't provide a platform for the growth of Agricultural produce hence even the farmers are not encouraged so if importation will ease the suffering of the people so be it. But if people like you and me come and invest also in the farm produce maybe we could make this nation a better place. You don't have the right to criticize the Govt if you are not contributing to the Economic growth of the Nation by way of your investment and employer of Labour.

Aisha brain is half dead..

Mama peace was a much much much much more better wife, speaker and a woman than Aisha would ever dream of..

The woman is brain dead!

Mama Peace was not Educated like most people would prefer it as then First Lady but she is more intelligent than the Master Degree holder Aishat Buhari.

Sincerely the igbos are the greatest jokers i have ever seen, mind you i'm an igbo man too but this fight for Biafra is going to cost the igbos alot more than the biafrian crusade they are agitating for. The Igbos never have been and will never be united, they can never live and fight for one course it just a curse on them.

always back-biting each other at the point when everything seems to be going just right as a Judas will always arise in the means of Christ disciples just to betray their fellows.

God save the Igbos!!!!!!!!

plz i dnt get any sms

The Nigerian banking work environment has recently gained the attention of powers that be, people are beginning to ask questions about some actions and in-actions of top managements in commercial banks especially policies that has to do with welfare of its employees and unrealistic targets placed on them.

Well this article is not about “targets”, as that has to be a story for another day. This is about some of the practices that happens in the bank that you never knew exists. It is true that every organization out there have rules of engagement which employees must abide by and to the best of my knowledge this is standard practice.

But why would you be interested to know what happens in the bank behind the scene in the first place? Let’s say you gave your neighbor some good amount of money to keep, and all of a sudden your beloved neighbor started upgrading his kitchen aroma, and you notice some change in the standard of living, wouldn’t you get worried about your money? Yes you do want to know what happens behind the banking hall! We are talking about people whose custody our money lies.

In this piece am going to enumerate some of the practices both written and unwritten policies which guides bankers in the discharge of their duties. Anyway since our lawmakers are investigating bank managements, I will help them speed up the process for quicker result (pun intended).

The following are my personal experience over the years in the industry:

BANKERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OWN ACCOUNTS IN OTHER BANKS: Bank employees are not allowed to operate bank accounts in other commercial banks, this is to enable them know everything about your financial standing. If you previously own accounts before your appointment, it is expected that you declare them. But make sure you are not making false declaration or else the CCT will be your guest (pun intended).



YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE MUST BE PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR MONTHLY SALARY: While you are expected to save all your money in one account in your bank, it is expected that your balance at any time should be proportional to your salary. What this means is that if your salary is N100,000 and you have just worked for only six months and then your balance is N800,000, you may be inviting a beaming searchlight over your head. It will not be long until a query is issued demanding explanation for the indiscrepencies. Well there is nothing wrong about this practice, we are talking about peoples’ money here, and great care must be taken to safeguard it.



YOU CANNOT JUST LIVE ABOVE YOUR MEANS: Closely related to the above, maybe you are a big boy before your appointment and just few months with the bank you want to show off your expensive cars, jewelries, clothes and all the good things of life; you may be queried or reprimanded about your extravagance and if you are too big to contain, the bank may have to let you go.



YOU CANNOT MARRY YOUR CO-WORKER: This may not be news to you anyway, relationships are permitted among employees, albeit with slight oversight; but when it is tilting towards marriage, one of the pairs may have to consider resignation. There is nothing to worry about this buddy, it’s all about protecting our money, you never can tell what happens between husband and wife because the bond is so strong that the bank cannot contain.



YOUR BOSS CAN MAKE OR MARE YOU: In the bank there are three ways of doing things; the right way, the wrong way and the boss’s way. Believe me when I say doing things the right way cannot always guarantee your promotion or professional well-being, doing it the wrong way is not an option either, but I guarantee you will be much safer doing it ‘the bosses’ way”. You want to know why bosses’ way supersedes the right way? Try read the book “48 laws of power” and you will understand why your boss is always right. It was fun watching my boss peeing in his pants at the sight of his boss, at that point back then I will be feeling like “how does it feel boss? It is like a circle, it goes around. Everyone have a boss, and that is how it works. The most dangerous part of this arrangement is that your promotion is to a large extent in the hands of your boss.



THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND NON-PROFESSIONAL STAFF: This is one bitter pill hard to swallow. The bank refers to their employees as “professional staff” while the contract staff are called “support staff”. These support staff are mainly the HND and OND recruits through outsourcing companies. These set of employees are like “second class citizens” in the scheme of things and their opinion may not count that much. One funny question a colleague was asking then was: how can you call me an unprofessional staff and expect me to behave professional? Well if you fall into this category of bankers, you have no choice but to be professional in attending to customers even though you are not a professional staff.



YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT TIPS FROM CUSTOMERS: This is one policy that is almost impossible to abide by. What? I should not accept a token of appreciation from my hard work? There are so many names given to tips, some call it thank you sir (TYS) others call it COT (cost of transaction) while up North our brothers call it nagwode. You can call it all you want but we are all saying the same thing! The bank says you should not accept it except during festive period. And even when the collection mode is activated, there is a limit to how much you can accept. I bet from the MD to the cleaner, everyone has once broken this rule.



TELLERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE WITH THEIR PHONES DURING BANKING HOURS: You can call it “standard practice” all you want, but the impact is great. Tellers or any staff that deals on cash transactions are not permitted to be in custody of their cell phones between the hours of 8.00AM – 4.00PM, this rule is made for the safety of customers. A case study is when a customer was rubbed after withdrawal, the customer came back and accused the teller of informing the criminals about the withdrawal simply because the teller was answering a call during the transaction. This singular incident gave birth to this rule till this day! Fair right? Yes it’s all for the safety of customers and to be more attentive to the job, cell phones can be a big distraction if not tamed.



BANKERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACTIVELY RUN ANOTHER BUSINESS: It’s simply loyalty! The bank demands an undivided loyalty and commitment from their employees. In some of their staff handbook, there is a clause that insinuates a bank staff is not allowed to get involved in any business that will demand an active presence. If you must invest in other business, make sure it does not in any way interfere with your duties in the bank, or else you may have to consider doing it full time.



YOUR INTEGRITY WILL BE TESTED EVERY WEEK: The word “integrity” is like the love and vow couple confess to each other during marriage, to make the bond stronger the words “i love you” is often used to show continued commitment to the bond. Your integrity is not a one-off thing, it needs to be tested always for a continued relationship between you and your bank. The moment your integrity is in doubt, a divorce is imminent. How do they carry out this test? Well it can come in different forms, in order to remain in business with the bank you must declare all your “overages” and “shortages” accordingly. Again this is standard practice, you do not want a thief to be in custody of your money.

These facts are not necessarily bad practices, but it is for the sake of informing aspiring bankers what is obtainable in the system. So you still want to be a banker? You better start getting used to these rules.

http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2015/11/20/revealed-practices-nigerian-banks-will-shock/

i totally disagree with the first & Second write up, i have some friends who work in the bank and still have an account with other banks too.

I dont see any reason why u all are advising this guy cos every advise you offer him he has a reason to counter it, meaning he is not willing to take the advises been rendered to him. so my advise is that keep on giving every dick & harry i know one day monkey go market e no go return.

just try and call those who benefited from your magnanimity ask them for little of financial help just cook up something u need it for and see their reactions, then u will know who they really are. i'm not stopping u from helping pple but there shld be a limit to it.

remember Jesus in HIS days could not satisfy everybody. better find some one u can trust and make investment for naija ooooooooo so that when d journey gets tougher there is something to fall back at home. dont make ur friends live like a king and u dying like a pauper.

MosakuAW:
Leave Aregbe alone jare.

He is not the only governor yet to pay workers salary

Abeg.

how will you feel if u r working n u are not been paid for seven months. put urself in Osun workers shoe, how will u feel if u were not paid for that period of time. Him Aregbe is living large in his own capacity. A worker is worthy of his wages. this evil against humanity.

this guy is the greatest full of the year and the girl most deceived girl in the world........................... person them they feed wey they propose to a girl. let watch and see the final result of this.

i dont know where they are getting this information from op, as at today Enugu has been peaceful and there has never been any form demonstration from anywhere, the only thing happening is APC mobilizing for GMB in Enugu....... maybe they demonstrating in the remote villages that i'm not aware of.

At the expiration of his tenure he now figures out how he can give Lasgidi uninterrupted power supply......... abeg make una ask uncle fash weda him just dey wake up from sleep.......... story for the gods.......................

ibisko04:
I don't know why anybody will listen to any pastor before casting his/her vote to whom ever you have decided to vote for.
Pastors don't put food on anybody table, they don't help in paying for your power Bill, not even your children school fees. And you all know that schools being runs by the Church are more expensive than any other ones.
I am a Christian, a n ordained deacon in LFC, but on this subject, I disagree with PAPA.

you lack understanding and you are not fit to be a Deacon, woe unto the church that made u a Deacon for u r spiritually blind. what will u say if u heard that NASFAT endorsed GEJ. ur opinion doesnt count but God's words count. cast out the son of the bond woman.
