What do u mean by wax d car?

Where is victor moses

Undoubtedly Rashidi Yekini. If u were football aware during his days u wouldn't ask the question.

I can see you wanna argue. What was the essence of the advise in the first place? For you to go and get the feedback from the referees' banks to GTBank? Or to erode further your confidence in GTBank which is already obvious from your earlier comments? That so called senior staff should have managed you well instead of advising you to go to those banks. Now tell me, what did u achieve from the visit? has your references returned to gtb or have u been able to withdraw from your account?

Well, I guess that's y GTB is not the best bank to open a current account with.

blink182:
Leave your referee and use the methods shown to you.

All the methods shown I'd already used before coming to the forum. Hope to get a gtb worker who'll tell me something I've not yet done.

blink182:
This is what you should have said instead of condemning the bank. The fault is not from them but from the referees you provided. When banks get referee confirmation from other banks, I am sure they simply throw the letter away. Start asking trusted friends and family with Gtb current accounts to provide the referral and make sure the person is not using a salary account. Make sure it is a full current account. It is that easy.

Bros ur stressing urself, go to a marketer (confidentially), they always have pre-signed references, get one then take it to their Head in the unit to confirm with his signature, you would be done in 48 hours or less

My reply:
Yes I did that. That's how I got one of my references from a GTB current account holder. The second reference he gave me got complicated in that the signature was not regular - said the referee had changed his signature n his mothers bank hasn't updated the change n all that so that referee didn't fly. Got my own second referee from a GTB current account holder of up to 6 months duration n I'm told their headquarters has to lift the restriction. That's what I'm waiting for now; their headquarters. The bottom line is the process is too stressful n my money I need to execute a contract and a bank is holding unto it jeorpadizing the contract.

Had to go to my referees bank with my referee n they convinced us GTB bank hasn't sent the request bc they respond in a maximum period of 1 week. Informed GTB bank of this n they said its their headquarters or something that had to clear the restriction.

uboma:
That was an unprofessional advise given by the GTBank staff. I have nothing further to add but to wish you luck....

Thanks for the luck wish though I don't think the advice was unprofessional since it was made by a more senior staff to the hearing of other staff in the room.

uboma:
lol. Going to your referees' bank to inquire was an unnecessary move. Communication between banks are usually done in a professional manner. If you can, why not just get inhouse references to avoid the continued delay.

Getting in-house reference u have to know people that own current account in the bank-it happens I don't know many, the one I knew has an account that's run for just three months so can't referee someone. Eventually got the 2 in-house referees (getting them was a prject on its own) n they said its their headquarters that has to lift restriction. Now waiting for whenever their headquarters lifts the restriction.
Going to the referees bank was an advice by GTB bank staff.

obua:
You can access the money by request on your letterhead while you await for your cheque booklet

Was categorically told I can't do anything on the account till the restriction is lifted. Retrieving the cheque they said takes another process which I'll pursue next week.

uboma:
Personally i am not a fan of GTBank but i want to inform you that the problem is currently facing is not from GTBank. You cant have access to yr account now because your referees are yet to be cleared. The delay is from the banks which your referees currently use. These banks are expected to reply GTBank as to whether such current accounts are in order and can be used as a reference. Most times its takes a long time before sending such responses. So pls GTBank shouldnt be blamed for your inability to withdraw from your account.

And like you said, yes, getting inhouse reference is the next best step to take...

YOU NEED A NEW BANK!
I STARTED BANKING WITH STB/UBA BEFORE I ENTERED THE UNIVERSITY, DURING MY UNDERGARDUATE YEARS I USE GTB- THY WERE VERY EFFICIENT USEFUL TO ME. DURING MY NYSC DAYS I USED SKYE BANK- ALSO VERY USEFUL BACK THEN.
AFTER MY NYSC I HAVE ADDED ZENITH BANK, OCEANIC/ECOBANK, STERLING BANK, FIRST BANK, THEY ARE ALL GOOD AND THEY SERVE THEIR PURPOSES IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. HOWEVER, IN THE LAST TEN YEARS I HAVE OPERATED GTB THE MOST AND I AM A PLATINUM CARD HOLDER.
IN 2013, I OPENED A DIAMOND BANK ACCOUNT AND IN A FEW DAYS TIME THE ACCOUNT WILL BE ONE YEAR OLD. SO FAR SO GOOD, DIAMOND BANK HAS BEEN THE BEST OF ALL BECAUSE OF EASY ACCESS TO CREDIT!
I USE TO PRAISE GTB A LOT BUT NOW I KNOW THAT DIAMOND IS THE BEST BANK IN IN NIGERIA (IMHO)

Thanks bro. Diamond was recommended to me some pal too. hope i'll enjoy their services.

okonja:
Sorry, but just because you have problem with your account doesn't mean others would do...besides, how would your bank not allow you to touch your money for 4 months?...IMPOSSICANT

I'm telling you what I'm STILL facing right now, do u think I'm making this up, for what! I'm done with them anywhere, once my account is unrestricted I'm closing it. Enough of their sarcastic customer service n operation.

wjxavier:
Gtbank may well be fir students.

Despite also running my salary account there, they won't even reply my loan request graciously.

Smh

Yes, I blame myself for that. Banked with them as a student with a savings account, so decided to get a current with them only to face this. Anywhere I'm informing any n everyone I know if u Must open a current account with them don't use referees from other banks, they'll frustrate u especially if u dump money in d account.

blink182:
What are you talking about, I'm a signatory to three current accounts with Gtb-one almost 10 years old, another about three and the last I opened about 2 months ago. I have never had an issue with them.

Strange right! Well they said the 2 referees have to be confirmed n d process of confirming the referees is what I've been waiting for up till now. Happened to meet a someone I know who runs a current account with them to referee me n she told me her experience of having to wait for a very long time before hers was done. Its not just me, its happened to others also . In d process of going there to get them unrestricted my account I've met a couple of customers who've come with similar complains.

I'll advice anybody intending to open a current account not to try GTB. 4 months going n my money in d current account i opened with them can't be touched because of restriction by the bank. I feel warning people will stop some other person from passing through the ordeal as I happened to meet some of their customers who complained they went through even worst ordeal when they opened their account.

14th November in congo

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/10/caf-warns-nff-big-foreign-coaches/

This is true, NO big foreign coach has ever made an impact in Africa. We need a coach who can STAY in d country and build his team by travelling FEARlessly to different parts of d country n watch d league scouting for talents.

cr7lomo:
So because he performed in confederation cup , he Sud start even if he has lost form. Confederation cup of over a yr ago. Naija sef

You seem to be expecting too much from Mikel. Mikel is an ordinary player not a super star n that's how he performs in d super eagles -ordinary. AMODU will not drop Mikel, he'll rather sub Nosa n Onazi.

DAVECENA:
As a result of CAF’s regulation for the AFCON
2015 qualifiers, the Super Eagles need to score
three goals in Brazzaville on Nov.15 and not
concede more than one to steady their
campaign for Morocco.
This is because they lost 2-3 to the Congolese
in Calabar on Sept. 6.
CAF will take into consideration the team that
scored the most away goals in the fixture
involving both teams, should both teams finish
on equal number of points.
Once Nigeria hits three goals in Pointe Noire,
and does not concede more than one, all they
need do to qualify is defeat South Africa in
Uyo on Nov. 19 to qualify for the tournament.



source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/2015-afcon-weve-done-will-amodu/

This is not necessarily true.
With 2-0 against Congo we'll qualify ahead of them if we win our last match against SA.
CAF considers goal difference between 2 teams tied on points before checking number of goals scored. I hope this is communicated to d team management clearly so they would not be pressing for a third goal n allow a counter attack against us.

The beginning of good for Nigerian football was sacking keshi, next is inviting our present best legs, viz uche, n iheanacho. As for martins I personally think he's performing bc he's playing in a league that's not as strong as d EPL, laliga etc. That said, qualification is possible under AMODU. Thank God keshi was sacked!

NFF is def right to sack keshi, d man is tactically inept. He graduated from 'ball to wingers, cross to goal mouth, scramble for goal' to midfielders sending long pass to a lone 9 to bully his way to score. Well in d second half of our game against sudan, he did bring some innovation but it was too late to keep him in d helm of affairs. AMODU is better than keshi tactically n has a better coach to player rapport n will most likely qualify us.

Otobroto:
Apart from Nigeria, looking at it wholistically, what makes you feel Egypt will take that slot? Anyway, I learnt it is only one slot for best loser, and not 3. Come to think of it, even Ghana will not want to risk it, as Ebola is closer to them than South Africa. Another option might be Egypt, but how stable is Egypt politically?

SA is most likely going to host it, Ghana taking d 2017 hosting rights.
Egypt though occupy d best losers spot may not get it based on d games they have left. Mozambique n Ivory coast are also ahead of Nigeria in best placed 3rd team, ivory coast having d brightest prospect in that they on 6 point play d weak Sierra Leone next n Cameroon- which might already have qualified by then, last. Nig should forget dt best losers spot, 10 points will not get it, our only chance of qualifying for this afcon is contending for 2nd place with Congo. Keshi's sack is in d right direction bc our best legs will probably be invited to play Congo n a 2 goal win is possible.

rickkid:
Check your facts, there are already 3 qualification slots for best losers.

Only 1 best loser qualifies n for now Egypt occupies that slot.

selingel:
In African football, anything can happen. Though more logical, but NFF can lobby. Since we like making things difficult for ourselves, we may still succeed. Besides, how has CAF addressed such situation before? Those are the stuffs we need to know...

Well CAF has just approached Ghana to consider hosting it. Nig should focus on qualifying in 2nd place or kiss afcon bye bye.

Enjoyment1:
If South Africa agrees to host, then, this is good news for Nigeria, as 1st, 2nd, and probably 3rd in the group, may be considered. It then means that:
if the group should end this way...
1. South Africa 11pts
2. Congo 10 pts
3. Nigeria 7pts
4. Sudan. 3 pts.
Nigeria maybe considered, knowing that South Africa is now the host. Morocco will no longer have any place or role in nxt year's nation's cup, which may come with a ban as well on them.
South Africa as the host, irrespective of position, may now be seen as the host, while the extra slot, will have to be filled up, by third position in thesame group A, thats has South Africa, Congo, Nigeria, and Sudan. Note, this does not affect the best loser from qualifying (third best loser from all the groups).
Meanwhile, NFF may have a role to play, in ensuring this happens, by lobbying CAF (as a back door qualification hope). Knowing that, CAF can still apply politricks, and look elsewhere. In a normal circumstance, and from history books, this is how it should be.

It'll be more logical and fair to all other groups if 2 best losers are picked for qualification.

Havilah93:
Now we need to beat Congo by a 2 goal margin. . . Away!

First beat SA here, can u?

chrisley024:
So what happens now that Congo got a point 2day?

We have to win our remaining 2 matches with a wide margin.
That can only happen if keshi is sacked n a new coach comes in to bring our best legs; Ike uche, martins, iheanacho
