Iamabraham:
Good afternoon, everybody. I hope our day has been good. Let me use this medium to appreciate the frequent contributors on this thread, you guys are doing a great job. Let me also congratulate all those that have done their documentation and medicals. I also greet those awaiting mail for documentation and AC, the mail will certainly come I believe. Don't lose hope, you've been strong thus far, you only need to be stronger. I believe you will be called in due season. Please, don't pause your life because of this; march on and forge ahead.

To those awaiting invitation for TS, I have been contacting some persons who have passed through the academy, and here is what one them sent me.

I also asked him to lend his advice to ezzo09 on his missed documentation.

" Trust you had a nice sallah break.
I just hope I will be able to attand to all your questions.

I was part of the last set of graduate Trainees, in fact, I was one of the set Governors. TS is one of the best experiences you will experience. Of course, you will be drilled, so get ready for the stress and all.

There are no weekend lectures except on Saturdays if need be. You don't need any materials, everything will be provided for you. You just need to come with your personal belongings. Regardless of your discipline, be rest assured you will catch up. So don't panic, even if you studied theatre art.
There are a lot of activities lined up for you guys during the course of your stay at TS.

Unfornutalely, accommodation considerations is been given priority to up country Trainees, that's this outside Lagos.
 
Please, inform your colleague that missed out on the documentation to call/send a mail and s/he will be rescheduled. First Bank is very considerate when it comes to issues  asuch.

About the pay, I would suggest you guys don't pur your mind about money alone. Career growth and development is also key. The opportunities and experience I have as a First banker can not be compared to most organizations. Mind you, you will be working with a multinational organisation here, so weigh your options. 
There are no restrictions at the TS per say, except if you want to travel. Then you will need to officially take permission.

The courses offered ranges from Financial accounting, Customer sentric courses, Treasury, presentations, role play, Basic credit for beginners, among others. The facilitators are the best hands, so trust me you need not panic. You will be assessed periodically, cut off mark is 75% in every course! No jokes here!!!
Other side attractions like sports, swimming, BBQ..are also included to make your stay memorable. So feel free and enjoy  yourselves while offer last.
"



To those awaiting mails for AC and Documentation, I say: Don't lose heart, stay hopeful and 'alive'.

To those awaiting mails for TS, I say: Don't relent, the journey is just starting.



God bless us all.

Thank-you, father of many nations

I have not gotten documentation mail, ofcourse if i have gotten, i would be happy.... Tigris007 a word of advice, smileys are not suitable for some kind of writeups, they made your write up appear as if you were mocking those that have not gotten success mail...either way, i wasnt there when hcp/fbn staff told you whatever...
For the fact that some peeps are yet to receive AC mail, cloud9ster might be right....just like in soccer, its not over till FT...

For the sake of God why would you associate a smiley with mockery?....I'm not directing the question at you bro....it just baffles me, honestly.

And also, until we add insults, read insults, interprete words as insults we cannot discuss rationally!!!

I'm quite glad you pointed this out as I seemed to have observed such... I smile before I make comment, even as far back as I started commenting on on this thread. I specifically stated that it was "observations" even repeating it in my mother-tongue"observations nii ooo"....but my fellow nigerians saw what was not said and did what should not be done.

Maturity in anything is key, ...some of us here abused a so-called browns sucre as being okpanwu and guys were laughing him here (okpanwu) because he didn't make the next stage and he seemed to be causing a distraction to us.....I felt for that moniker that day....just check some threads back you'll see....I didn't even mock anyone, yet tried consoling and my fellow nigerians read what was not written....its sad...really sad....though I understand.

Joyintwos:
Please let's all move on from this issue. Haven't done AC, haven't gotten documentation mail, through with documentation and medicals, missed the documentation and medicals, already working with FBN, whatever category we fall, let's keep hope alive and still look out for other/better opportunities. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing and nobody can AUTHORITATIVELY state what FBN will do or how they will do it, anything can happen to anyone on any of the categories (I wish everyone good).

Let's stay put for genuine information and updates, if possible let's do away with RELIABLE SOURCE, it seems to cause more rancour, no matter how reliable your source is, their information may be correct but it can change with time and tide, if something is true, we will all eventually know. Thanks.

Two are better than one for they have a good reward for their labour....Joyintwos

Tydarl:
@Tigris007 you went through my profile and saw what? Your death? Ewu Gambia.

I don't have any more words for you except that you stop monkeying around on this thread.

...wish you the very best bro...sincerely.

It is sad that anybody with considerable amount of money can become an idol/celebrity in Nigeria...
So sad

injurybaba:
Our keeper just d give me confidence, If its Akpeyi he go d do face like say he wan cry

Lol

Tydarl:
@Tigris007 and your cohorts...any intelligent person reading your posts here would not only be appalled but also disgusted at your person.

I don't know what drives You. I don't know your motive.

Carry your documentation and go abeg, you still have a long long journey ahead.

God help you.

PLEASE READ TILL THE END.

Its sad that you just reflected the nature of many of us nigerians, you can hardly find peeps not invited congratulating those that got called.

I never for once flaunted my T.S. documentation or woreva...I was actually concerned about others that might be having hope on just this recruitment process. So I was asking questions and giving updates having waited about 8 months in time past for a job to no avail.

Going forward...I actually liked cloud9usher's post above because he simply reiterated what I was saying(all my posts are well documented

Well, he didn't quote me bt I want to believe he wouldn't think what you just typed..cos never did I flaunt my call-up for documentation....infact the dude saying I was funny...I didn't respond to him....

I really shouldn't have answered you but I ran through your profile and I can say I know how it feels.....if you still feel you want to insult me, I'll advice you send me a personal mail so that you can vent your spleen without making yourself look bad in public glare.....hey sorry bro if you feel offended.......


Wishing you the best

ezzo09:
I have a small challenge. Please I need reasonable info and advice. I got the mail on Thursday but I'm just seeing the mail now.

Please do you guys know if documentation still holds on Tuesday.

Village people have done get me finally sha.

Try calling the numbers for your location..hear what they have to say....cheers

200billion dollars....more than nigeria external reserve of 32 billion or thereabout.

This man naa die...the person wey do the headtie dey vex with am...

setemi224:
Pls will they accept NECO certificate for those that did not have WAEC

I went through the last recruitment thread and waec was emphasised because of age...neco no get D.O.B

I saw they even accept combined result (waec)....

BigDealz:
Bro, don't quote me out of contest. What I meant by "at a time" is just the three months duration for each TS. Some guys are even in training school presently. Just saying the capacity of the training school cannot exceed that for a TS period.

Okay,...didn't know thats what you meant...
Aside that T.S. is not meant for only graduate trainees. Contract also need to be trained....its the courses and the budget that would naturally differ

smith54321:
10% ish

Sorry bro...120000 applied
20000 wrote aptitude test
2500 made it to .A.C.
My broda over there said 200 to 250


All this stats(apart from the last) the H.R. told us...


Please don't feel bad, anything can happen but positioning your life on an uncertainty is the real issue. Bible does not support that....The bible says "the just man falleth seven times and he riseth again"

If u earn upto 50000 and are not paying rent, u can think of getting certification or search for free courses on line to boost your chances for sth better...


Remember, true hope is not limiting God to one opportunity(e.g FB) but in the certainty that in the end, all is well that ends well.....Much love!

Tydarl:
This is just the FIRST BATCH. Others will be called eventually. Enough of your monkeying around the thread.

I know say if nairaland get monkey smiley, u for don put am...


But seriously guys, with experience working in another tier 1 bank, pls don't see me as a negativity bringer...I pick no offence because I might have thought the same way, but for my knowledge of the corporate world.....

Are you aware they didn't use the word batches but phases even though they are similar in meaning?

Mails for medicals actually came in phases...some got on monday night, another batch got on Wednesday afternoon...HCP lady kept on emphasising 31st is the deadline....

.HCP said the A.c would last 6 weeks....e no pass 6 weeks...See do not let another man hold your destiny to ransom.

You would be surprised that the phases they meant referred to what was described....the funny thing is that it is not a lie....


I may not reply further mentions as regards those hoping to be called for medicals as it would make the issue overflogged...Believe what you want to believe but even the bible says "come let us reason together...."

I have not seen any great man"outside nigeria" who does not think..

BigDealz:
The total should be about 200 from all over the country. We were about 80 that did medicals know Thursday. And from information I've got, the training school can only take Max of 200-250 at a time.

U do have a point going by the 10% ish....

adeinfinit:
Pls, will a court affidavit with my DOB and stamped passport be accepted as a means of ID?

I was fortunate to have my LASRAA I.D. card with me. You can use that. It details your D.O.B. as well.

You can get it at the nearest local govt. Go with your work I.d. whose address is in lagos and your utility bill(N.E.P.A or LAWMA)



You'll get it same day...u fit even go now.

Compass14:
I heard the first phase had about 100 successful candidates in total.

Good morning,

Those that did in lagos yesterday were about 100...From my understanding those that did on Wednesday were even more as there was a spillover to the next day.

shola87:
Can you give an estimate of how many of you guys did documentation during your session?

Apologies for the delayed reply, just.....

Yes I can thank you.











We were about a 100...abeg those who went, kindly confirm

Compass14:
To admit failure will be my last, even if they need one more candidate, who says it can't be me. Who is it that speak when God has not given his final verdict. To everyone awaiting AC or documentation mail. I say hold on.... Success is near.

Amen....pls have hope but don't let it stifle you from seeking more opportunities...true hope is not limited to one opportunity, it is the certainty that in the end, all is well that ends well...cheers

andergirl:
Bad news but I do not accept it,believing totally in God

Amen...sincerely!

Can I kindly chip in a word of advice for a moment?

1. I believe so much in God but permit me to say, from hindsight and understanding of human psychology that it is not ideal to publicise your faith with your words because you unnecessarily, seemingly put pressure on yourself and God. God works in mysterious ways, so you can't force him to act NOW with your words of faith. I did it for about 3 years but I failed even till this year until I understood the law of process

2. We overestimate success but underestimate the law of process...don't judge yourself by what your peers have achieved but on the path you are treading.

3. Whatever you are not willing to let go of, you may never get it...naturally.

4. Failure is a process, admit it and move ahead.

5. The corporate world is not university...please I can't emphasise this enough....watch your back.

6. Never call a competition a community project...this gives you perspective and helps you know the limit to which you can render help without putting yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage(I had to learn this by experience)...If anyone wants to guilt trip you, just remember the 10 virgins(matt25) and the great commandment.....

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

With much love from First academy...Gloriosa Superba is the name.

OBSERVATIONS CAVEAT EMPTOR(OBSERVATIONS NII OO)

1. The hcp lady keeps emphasising today is the last day. Same with the 2 f.b. staff.

2. Some people just got their mails around 2 yesterday...
so their names did not reflect on the register.

3. A means of I.d. that has your D.O.B. on it is the only acceptable I.d. So a birth certificate(surprisingly) would do.
4. Those who did from june to july were called.

5.I asked to know the fate of us other nairalanders(we are together) but she said life naa per head(summarily)

6.Questions are welcome.

Good day guys...tried asking from the HCP partner if we are the final batch for those who did from june to july, naa parable she dey talk for here oooo...will keep you updated.

Freelance-presidency aye

maklelemakukula:
"DUMPED"? I doubt he would use that word

And Nigeria journalists can ask the most heinous questions

Thank-you for also spotting that out....she never made such crude statement. She only said the last 3 years have been good for her....Adolf hitler was reputed for saying" what joy it is for leaders that the people do not think"


Jesus wept

The guy chop 10 wraps of fufu......
As the guy chop finish, naa so me sef belleful

Warship:
So you have not seen people with fake degrees working in a private firm because their brothers sent to find out about their genuine results covered up for them

Is this not Nigeria where anything goes


If you doubt me, show us Buhari certificate.

My brother, try to remove sentiments aside, did buhari ever tell you he worked in a private firm? If I am to say I want to begin talking like you....so tinubu suddenly received anointing to become an auditor without passing through the forewalls of a university? Or maybe he learnt accounting as an apprentice

If you

Drnice:
I didn't mean to discourage anyone. That was my findings, had to share it on the thread. Just like the saying "only an eagle can birth an eagle," if DPR used "save, submit" buttons both in application & test; don't u sense the trick there?

My brother...I understand wetin u talk but then, do not lose focus on the big picture, which is getting the job. A leader isn't just recognised by knowledge....more importantly, the ability to manage emotions(his and those he influences)....you seem on the part but you must learn to lose the battle to focus on the war.

In conclusion, this analysis does not apply to the just concluded test....you'll say I told you. Best wishes.

Lol...my igbo brothers, don't mind them.

A wise man once said (while standing up ), the quality of your enemies is a reflection of value and importance.

Oga niru....no shaking!( she don talk her own)
