basher: A typical Igboman is not afraid or uncomfortable to work in an organisation full of KKK,german Nazis,german skin heads,Russian racists,British conservatives and Yoruba tribalists cos he has a free and open mind,thus he associates freely beyond boundaries;making friends with enemies,learning languages. A yoruba applicant will first smell the office door to know if it smells Aboki or Igbo b4 knocking at the door to submit CV.That's the truth. That's why a yoruba acquantance I once encountered was very happy at me as if I was the one that employed him;telling me he thought he won't be taken cos he knew nobody.He did not tell me the real reason.People have lost opportunities due to prejudice. Go to Diamond bank inner rooms and take statistics and you will see its better than FCMB in terms of ethnic diVersity 1 Like |

dayokanu: The worst is Diamond bank My brother, while your observation above could be true. The major reason you wouldn't find a Yoruba in Enugu or Owerri branches is because Yoruba's find it very difficult going eastwards or having to stay there. They rather you sent them to even Damaturu, Maiduguri or Kano. I have had cause to shuffle some staff in my office in Nigeria (Abuja). As we had new projects in Imo and Ondo states. The Yoruba chap was sent to Owerri while a Delta employee was to go to Akure. The Yoruba guy refused to resume in Owerri, instead preferred to be jobless in Lagos. |

Ileke-IdI: exactly what was on my mind. He probably was fearing for his life. ibos don't have a reputation for being welcoming like yorubas are. at best, they are a very greedy and hostile ethnic group. there is even evidence that during the slave trade majority of slaves in the Americas came from ibo land. and the ibos are so proud of this history. no shame in being the tribe that sold the most of their own people in exchange for alcohol and shiny metal. |
| Re: Tribalism In Nigerian Banks' Employment by Adido(m): 4:27am On Jun 22, 2012 |
From my personal experience, there is tribalism in some banks when they recruit for some major departments. For instance, I worked with Zenith Bank for about 1.5 years in the C&T unit. Though I was approved by an interview committee, The Head of HR and the Company Secretary to work in the Legal Department, I had to meet with Jim Ovia in person and he turned me down without interviewing me. I am a Yoruba guy. Meanwhile, the Igbo guy that was gunning for the same position got the job. This was despite the fact that the legal department needed both our services. Now I'm sure there might be other explanations for this, but nothing else makes sense to me. Also, in general, Zenith bank has a lot of staff from Delta State. Well, that is my contribution to this discussion, no one should crucify me abeg. |
| Re: Tribalism In Nigerian Banks' Employment by Adido(m): 4:31am On Jun 22, 2012 |
He is not saying that Zenith bank favors only Agbor guys, he is saying that Agbor guys are the majority in the bank's branches. This I know to be true as I worked with Zenith bank. This does not mean that Zenith bank does not employ anyone else. Please read statements carefully before you attack them. Kay-Dee: |

They rather you sent them to even Damaturu, Maiduguri or Kano. true sha. a lot of yorubas dont really feel comfortable outside yorubaland. people from certain areas of the southwest can live anywhere though, but mostly prefer the northern parts. i feel its a cultural thing. 2 Likes |

dayokanu: The worst is Diamond bank Liar! Come to Diamond Bank Ajao Estate and Isolo branches and tell me if the people you saw there not mostly Yoruba and Edo. Imagine calling out Diamond when GTB and Skye banks are there! GTB is absolutely the worst offender in this regard. |

Long, long before the kidnapping scourge spread to Igboland from Niger Delta in the last 3-4 years, Yoruba people have always been reluctant to go East. As far back as 1980s, I noticed this trend. The Yoruba generally prefer the North because they feel there is less competition professionally or business-wise there. The other major reason is that many Yoruba regard northerners as malu who they can easily hoodwink; not so with the Igbo. Ironically, the first set of indigenous lawyers and doctors practising in the East were mostly from Sierra Leone and Yorubaland until the 1930s when the first Igbo doctors, lawyers and other professionals began to emerge. By the 1950s, most of the Saro and Yoruba professionals could no longer withstand the competition and withdrew to Lagos. 1 Like 1 Share |

olaheavy: Why do fools keep referring to WEMA? It's a regional bank, for crying out loud! This honorable institution that has stood the test of time is owned by O'dua Investment Group which comprises all the states in the Western region! Why would they want to leave their own sons and daughters and blindly employ Igbo cannibals? My own question is why the Igbo-infested Diamond just didn't stay in Ibo land or the East, for that matter, when they knew they were going to be that tribalistic? At least you can be sure of seeing WEMA branches only/mainly in Yorubaland, why was Diamond bank extended to the West? We don't want any Igbo bank in the West tell them to pack up and leave!Hope u r logically and psychologically ok. |

olaheavy: This 'moremi' person is another Igbo bastard in disguise. Millions of these yinminrin human-eaters were born, nurtured, and schooled in our Yorubaland. They tend to claim Yoruba as their ethnicity because they're ashamed of their cannibalistic Igbo heritage! Mother and fatherfucker go sleep with some human-eating Igbo LovePeddler! B'eru ba pe nile alajobi l'o ma n bu. Were, olosi, omo ale. Akindindinrin, omo Igbo onijekuje!Guy igbos have a sizeable number of population in lagos and not the entire southwest. The reason being the presence of job opportunities and basic amenities of life, unlike most part of the country, lagos being the former federal capital territory. The number of igbos in oshogbo, ogbomoso, ijeshaland, oyo, akure, ife, etc is very very very small. And as a matter of fact u r not frm lagos state but maybe frm ogbomosho or any other village. Pls use ur brain well and get ur fact right wen makin ur false claims. |

The recent recruitment by Diamond bank has disproved these odds about abt them. Their recruitment has been free from nepotism and tribalism so long candidates passed their recruitment test. I even learnt a guy from the northern part of Nigeria who willing to work in the north was given an immediate deployment to resume. |
