For anyone that’s still interested in the job and doesn’t check their mails regularly.

FBN just sent a mail requesting to confirm availability for the GT program BCOB today.

Good luck guys.

popila:
Please I would like to ask, if the originals of our documents would be taken from US, or are we suppose to come with photocopies of documents for D&M.
Please I would appreciate an answer. Thanks

They would need the originals but only for sighting purposes. It’s advisable to make at least 2 photocopies of the documents requested.

Churchill6767:
Compliment of the season guys, for those of us awaiting the D/M mails, can the documentation and medicals be done anywhere in the designated centers nationwide or must we do them in the same location where we had our tests/AC ?

It’s the location that’s closest to you.

He wants to rule Nigeria because someone dreamt of it.

What are your actual plans for Nigeria? What are you going to do about the rising unemployment and inflation rates in the country?

This is why we are where we are in this country. Spirituality is taken too seriously and it’s starting to affect how we logically make decisions.

It feels like the first batch candidates are the real successful candidates, real MVPs while the rest of us are d expendables, the afterthought.
They had the highest assessment scores anyway so its fair bt i still feel terrible.
HCMD First bank can do better

No offence, but there’s really no need to reduce your self worth or anybody’s. They picked us all out of the thousands that applied for a reason. The truth is we all can’t resume TS at the same time.

I’m actually learning a valuable life lesson at the moment — patience. Sometimes, things just don’t go the way you planned it. It’s not because you aren’t good enough, it’s just how life is sometimes.

Hopefully, FBN sends us another mail soon enough to our nerves

I don't think anyone is as tired as myself because I was supposed to be among the first batch.

The response wasn't an update to say the least, but what would you have me do? I'd only keep in touch. Guess they don't really know more than that -even if they do, guess it's too confidential for them to share for now.

So, we keep waiting for relevant updates then.

It’s frustrating and mentally exhausting to have to wait this long before we resume because I had even done my medicals and documentation with the first batch but I had to reschedule for some personal reasons.

It seems to be that a delayed approval from the board is what is causing the wait. The truth is there is nothing we can do right now but hope, try to find something to be busy with (for your own sanity) and stay positive.

Preachersgirl1:
Conversion staff will be going to training school next week and the training will run for five weeks. So, ladies and gentlemen please zero your mind on training school this year. Hopefully by January they will be ready for us.

I thought FBN uses its Ibadan training center for conversion staff and other staff trainings.

I have a feeling that documentation mails would come in on 29th of this month. And TS would resume on the 21st of next month.

I might be wrong anyways. It’s just a hunch.

Hi guys,

Please I need urgent assistance. I wrote and passed ICAN foundation level in May, 2018. Due to some personal stuff, I haven't written any diet since. Now I want to resume this November but I can't remember my password. I have the registration number from my registration documents, but I don't know the password. I have tried to recover the password on their site but the recovery mail isn't dropping.

Has anybody faced something like this before? I need help urgently so I can register. PLease!!!

Send a mail to profilehelpdesk@ican.org.ng. They should be able to help you out.

A great president Nigeria never really had.

Svelte98:
Very weird angle; but is it possible that they increased the TS allowance to 70k because of the Minimum wage increase from 18k to 30k and there may be accomodation?
Because I noticed that most banks this year increased their TS allowance.

I think the deal is that FBN pays 43k to those that are going to be accommodated and 70k for the everyone else.

No be person wey board them dey call passengers

N127k?

Hello guys, I just wanted to confirm on here if Ecobank sent regret mails to prospective applicants that didn’t make it because I didn’t get neither a progress nor regret mail.

Seems to me like they already lost control of SARS.

Fayose go dey laugh where him dey
He already praised himself for giving them “his stadium” to use for their primaries.

Hello there, how much do the finger print scanners cost?

Trivia:
They say events come at you either as blessings or lessons. My marriage has been half of both. I married from a relatively richer family, and I must add that the fact that my wife came from a wealthy family, had absolutely no influence on my choice. I met her when her parents were not as wealthy as they would later become, and we were in love. At that time, my parents gave me a ‘mid-budget vehicle’ shortly after my graduation from a state University in Nigeria. And so, even though my father was not Dangote, he could afford quality life and education for his children. My wife’s parents over the years ascended in wealth and riches, and our wedding was relatively big. Dowry from her side of Nigeria was expectantly high, and I paid it with relative ease.

Fast forward to seven years afterwards, when as a man your financial apron-strings to your parents has had to be cut even before leaving your parents’ house, as you make your way for yourself. I have come to learn that these apron-strings are easier to cut for a man than they are for women, especially women from comparatively well to do backgrounds, and hence the troubles for the unwise woman in this situation.
Leaving the comfort of my father’s house in Ibadan, I could afford a mid-income apartment in a sub-urban part of Lagos, with few house gadgets and facilities. My business was doing great, and even though not luxury, our living was comfortable. But then, comfort is subjective, for no matter how much sacrifices I put into stocking my abode with items to ensure comfort for my wife, she and her parents always believed I could do better. They rarely visited, and when they did, would sit in a corner with their noses in the air, and as they leave shortly I would swear they will take a long bath in hand-sanitizers when they got home. Nonetheless, I did do better, and over the years things went on fine at the expense of my personal self-care.

And then came that family-finance stifling recession. You assure yourself that things would be fine, and all you needed to do was double your hustle. Hustle doubled, and results reduced. Bills increased, and nagging followed suit. I have found out that a woman’s nagging on her husband could either be overt or covert. I’d take the overt nagging any day, over the quiet and obvious discontent. At least with the expressed discontent, you can target your financial attention. No matter how much you try, her communication reduces and you know why. She starts visiting her parents more often, and discussing financial choices with them. They start dropping hints into her bank account. She starts paying some bills and buying ‘luxury food-items’, but you cannot complain, even though you know where the money came from. Yet you double, nay, triple your hustle and hope for better days.

And that’s when the problems started- A classic case of he who pays the piper. Her parents start giving instructions without consulting you. It starts with suggestions, and then downright directives on how your home should be run. But you are the man of the house and you direct otherwise. Short of them laughing at your effrontery, they are infuriated that you dare overrule their wishes. Who are you? You observe the gradual disappearance of your wife’s respect for you, while you notice that her parents don’t even factor your presence in any equation. You are vilified, and your wife is torn between obeying her parents’ wishes and abiding by your directives.

I give you an example. This here school is where my children will go, because that’s what I can afford and they are happy in this school, you say. And the response through her, of course because they don’t call you directly but speak to your wife. They say, ‘what? That school? Okay, find a better school in your neighbourhood and let us know how much it costs.’ You get to know about this when your wife starts hunting for a new (expensive) school. I can’t afford that for the two of them, you say. ‘Don’t worry,’ she responds. ‘Mummy said she will pay for it.’ Now, domestic violence is a big matter to the state government and the news is rife with men sent to jail for wife battery. Otherwise, you would have sent those series of slaps in quick succession, enough to wipe her make-up clean off and change her phone network. Besides, if you had done that, her parents would be glad to take her back in their huge mansion, while you battle for your children’s custody or even access to them. Since you can’t react, you swallow your anger and put your foot down, albeit tenderly.

But things did change for the better part of 2017, far better than before, and during the festive season you conveniently sent bags of rice and vegetable oil to them. Occasionally, you send recharge cards and cash, no matter how small to them, while maintaining your physical absence. You can now restrict your wife’s visit to them. I must add, that the respect has grown tremendously, and hilariously too. Now they call for permission before they send her on errands. Now their calls always go unanswered because I am busy, and they graciously understand, and just wanted to check up on you.

Lessons: In family relationships, money is important. Your love is noticed when supported with money. Maintain your respect with strategic absence. Money used strategically buys your wife's (and in-laws) respect. Teach your wife to always reveal lesser information than necessary; the less you reveal to people (in-laws) about what goes on internally, the better, and more respect both of you get. There can only be one captain in a ship, and as a husband you need to put your foot down, sometimes diplomatically. Your ships must sail in one direction, and orders are from only one captain. As much as possible, reduce or eliminate holes in your matrimonial walls, to prevent matrimonial lizards from creeping in. No matter what you are going through, you will go through it. I knew that that phase would pass, and I pray I live to tell this tale to my kids when they are about to get married. Importantly, I have learnt that my boys should pick from a home and not a house with arrogant in-laws with the feeling of entitlement. And if you can avoid it, try not to marry a woman from a wealthy background, unless you can assure yourself of her humility.

This is one of the most educative family-related posts I’ve read on this forum. This piece is laced with a bit too much of honesty. I’m not married yet but this post is very relatable. Although I might not need this at the moment, I believe I’ll need this in the nearest future. OP, I doff my hat!

I saw this coming and many more online startups are struggling to stay afloat. Please to the young entrepreneurs out there, I have an advice for you: Profits sustains business, not hype or noise. Profit in business is success, but unfortunately, the media tends to deceive a lot of people.

- Being the biggest, is not profit.
- Receive an award, is not profit.
- Being everywhere and spending millions in ads is not profit
- Raising $1million is not profit
- Signing up 1 million users in an hour is not profit
- Having 10million followers on FB or Twitter is not profit
- Rushing to establish presence in 40 countries is not profit

Nothing beats growing organically. If you need a proof to the above points, just look at Nairaland.com.
Experience in business have taught me not to be moved by vanity metrics. Just show me the money.

If only I could like this post a thousand times!

He is still a face cap-wearing broke ass agbaya.

This is one of the meanest things I've read on Nairaland ��

This individual bears a very striking resemblance to the Animal science lecturer that had us on campus back in the day at UNN...her backside was really a blessed thing.....so blessed it was christened "quality carcass" by one cheeky course mate. Unfortunately, she got wind of it and it wasn't a good afternoon for all of us.....**takes a good look at the video** yep, she is the one... very small world indeed.

Quality Carcass
