Do you work in a bank? Or do you just feel like talking?

That's our financial institution for u. That being said, the way foreigners treat our citizens as slaves in their own country is another pressing matter to be addressed by whomever cares to. They are not allowed to participate in labour meetings any longer. Any attempt to complain about the poor state of work they are immediately threatened with sacked letter. While their foreign counterparts with a lesser qualification have dedicated drivers they are subjected to inhumane working conditions. In factories, they are not entitled to personal protective equipments, no special provisions for over time, no accommodation for drivers in case of long distance assignments. They are treated less than they will treat their pets. It's time to raise our voices and not the suffering.

DanielPop:
All this talk about slave labour is missing the point. Employment contract has the following - Offer and acceptance. They make you an offer, you accept or reject. It is not an offer you cant refuse. If you accept it, then live with the terms and condition. If you accept the offer and somewhere down the line you find that your employer has breached it, recourse to the law or walk....resign! Dont stay in there and start bitching all over the place. LEAVE!!! Anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Period.

They should leave and stay hungry right, the right thing should be done instead of taking graduates for a ride because these so called employers know there are no job vacancies to fall back on if they reject the offer. It is not right.

@Cramjomes, I think contract staff should be abolished in banks. The banks may say they cant absorb everyone as a full staff, but there is something they can do.
They should have a unit under their HCM unit that would handle contact staff.
Fact is I work as a contract staff with one of the 1st generation banks. I take home 64k (Cum rain or sunshine). But our employers are paid 150k. They give us 64k, pay 14k as pension n also subscribe to Standard Plan HMO for us. (Just malaria n typhoid treatment)
They have an interest of. @Least 60k per head monthly n we are over 250 in my unit (call centre) who are contract staff.
Bankwide, the agents employs all the tellers, dsa' s, drivers et al.
So we all are working for them. If only we can b directly employed by d bank, then we can have 120k take home even as associate staff.

Pls note that some of us wer receivin 40k as salary 4 4years before the increase in salary to 64k. Some of us have spent over 5years doing d same job.
This is my contribution to wat can b done differently.

Be creative then. Go and start your own company and pay your workers fat salaries!

I read about the pay scale of bankers in Nigeria with deep and utter sadness. I haven't been able to sleep since I read the stories on Nairaland, for I have been deeply disturbed. Prior to these articles, I erroneously thought that entry level bankers earn nothing less than 120k, but I was very wrong! My nephew is banker, but he keeps asking me to send him money. I joke about it, albeit ignorantly, not knowing his pay is that of a slave.

Fellow Nigerians, granted we have over 50 million unemployed youths, nevertheless should we accept to be slaves in our own country? What will a young man full of life and energy do with 24k/month or $110 per month. I can remember many times I have spent such an amount one night on a family dinner. This is not fair and must be stopped! We must task the incoming administration to review our labor laws. It is unacceptable for a graduate working in a multibillion dollar coporation as a banker to earn less than $4/day.

Instead of trekking from pillar to post, do something about it! I would like to urge all youths to use the power of social media and spread the word. We must start that way. I will do my part by telling the C-in-C to tackle this slave labor head on. Not just the banks, but we must have enforcable laws that all employers of labor must abide to. Little wonder why Kelechi and Kayode are doing drugs in Indonesia. Little wonder why Ifeoma, Kabiru and Femi are drowning in the mediterranean trying to cross to Europe. We must put an end to modern day slavery, wickedness and greed!

You have all taken the right step by revealing it. Now make it popular and we will work on the one-on-one side. This must stop!

Maxymilliano:



The conversion is not as easy as it seems, the emphasis is more on the qualification at entry level.

philips70:


This is an anonymous forum and the people that know and have met the C-in-C elect do not reside in the moon.

dunkem21:
Get your facts right, bro.

Entry level in any Nigerian bank earns above N120k. ..
..Contract and support staff earn less though.

Willie2015:


There is enough unemployed youths that are ready to take these jobs, contract staffs is an effective way of reducing staff cost for most employers. Every employee should strive to get additional source of income to augment his salary. The problem is that most bankers are too lazy to think and mostly depend only on the income from their employer.

paparazzi1987:


Bro I can testify to this.entry level in any bank earn above 120k.

kingthreat:


People who have are his confidants are usually more matured and dont brag about it on social media to improve their status. So petty and childish of cramjones and his blind followers like yourself.

If you accept it, then live with the terms and condition. If you accept the offer and somewhere down the line you find that your employer has breached it, recourse to the law or walk....resign! As long as your employer is paying you above the minimum wage, you have no case. You willingly entered into the contract. So you can as well walk out of it. Dont stay in there and start bitching all over the place. LEAVE!!! Anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Period.

cramjones:


.....Fellow Nigerians, granted we have over 50 million unemployed youths,....

Diamonddamsel:
That is true.Are we saying the contract staff are not bankers as well?What makes them different several of them have the same qualification as the core staff some even more but due to unemployment challenges they take the job.Are they not doing work in the bank?Some doing same duties as the so called bankers.Lets put ourselves in their shoes its not fair to them.

...and you want to dictate for the man who searched for capital and started his own company, to pay you as you want abi?

davic00:
Hi Cramjones,
Is your nephew a securityman or Cleaner in the bank? Pls let the Nairalanders know what he or she does there? Because like the Bank I work with. Security man collects over 25k per month, Contract Staff collects over 100k per month and entry level earns over 200k per month. So your issue is totally wrong except you are making reference to MICROFINANCE Bank which is not also correct too.

Willie2015:


You don't need huge capital to start a business.

My meat seller in the market started with only =N=15,000.00 in the local market. He goes to the Hausa section to buy goats for =N=7,500.00. He butchered the goat and make a profit of around =N=4,000.00 to =N=5,000.00 on each goat. He butchered an average of 4 -5 goat on weekends.....he makes more money per month than a contract staff in a bank.

My classmate got his family members to get him a Sharan Mini Van after graduation. He drive the Sharan Van himself, he makes an average on =N= 100,000.00 in a month less expenses. He currently have additional five cars he manages for other people (inclusive mine).

The vendor that roofed my house and complete the lintel is a final year student of Electrical Engineering of a federal university. I know of at least six houses he roofed with his team.

Look around your environment, there are opportunities all over.

socialmediaman:


Obviously not true, are you really serious or being mischievous? Marketing jobs are done by bsc holders all over the world, and I also want to say this, many graduates are doing contract staff jobs and even work in the bulk counting rooms of banks who earn some of the least. So yes, there are graduates who are earning so low in banks

paparazzi1987:
This is a big joke. No bank pays its entry level below 100K.
I am a banker and I can testify to this claim.
