she wasn't born in that company so there is no reason for any sulking or whining, tell her to set a target of 2 months for herself , she should embark on a vocational skill crash course and with God on her side ,she will make it . I don't see any big deal in all these sackings. There is nothing as safe and profitable as been able to use ur hands and brains to create productive things and solutions to ppls problems

True but not everybody is business savy. Not everybody is meant to do a 9 to 5 job either. Sacking is a bad thing. U dont see a big deal because u are not there. Because others are prosperous doing business doesn't mean another will.

Self employment pays.
1000 unemployed Nigerians can employ themselves and others for life in the Nigerian film industry.

The Nigerian government has embarked on the plan to save Nollywood with a special funding provision says the Bank Of Industry (BOI).

The bank said it would be creating the product, NollyFund to assist the movie producers to create quality films of international standards and the screening of the films locally and internationally.

A NollyFund implementation advisory group made up of two cinema management experts, one national film distributor, two production and post-production experts, two film critics/reviewers, and two film producers to vet the sponsorship of all films submitted.

According to the bank's policy, an initial program limit of N1.0billion and a single obligor limit of N50million for individual loans will be made available after cross examinations have been undertaken by the advisory group.

Half of A Yellow Sun, Flower Girl, Digitization of Silverbird Cinemas, Ozone Cinemas are some of the works and organisations that have benefited from the past credit facilities of the BOI.

Jona's administration ruining lives!

If all those reserves were not squandered, and the Naira didn't fall this hopelessly, things would have been different.

Taking advice from IMF and World bank to devalue the already devalued Naira? Continue . . .

A bank that made over 20 billion naira profit after tax in 2014/is claiming that they sacked 1,000 members of staff because of economic downturn in Nigeria.

WICKEDNESS.

you missed the message in my post and I will clarify them to u now . Firstly ,I never mentioned business, what I said was that she should take a crash course in a vocational skill training and use her enhanced mental abilities since she is a graduate to set herself up. Secondly, there is nothing like someone ppl are business savvy ,you can make it if you want but the modern world is fast moving away from just selling goods to ppl and now to be competitive you must be able to use ur brains and hands to create things or use them to solve peoples problems. Thirdly ,yes u are right I am not a salary worker. But u know ,I once told a lady to learn how to repair mobile phones and that once she does that she will be rich ,because the mere fact that she is a lady repairing phones will attract men and women and once she starts selling phones too she will be okay. She laughed and instead opened a store and started selling lacacera and co. The problem with nigerians is they have a laid back attitude ,they always want to shift the blame and fault on someone else and never want to take responsibility for their actions . That is why they keep blaming gej for everything whereas they are the architect of their own personal problems

Wahala dey

More job seekers added to the already existing millions for few positions if available.. Which way Nigeria.. It's well o...

Even telecommunications are laying off. Once it's bank_ they go banking isn't a job, but tomorrow you go see them for dragnet exam, both the ones wey done pass age limit gaan.

Taah! Shoro niyen?

Lol... It's about orientation. Most of the peeps that say so either missed out on the opportunity to work there or are still undergraduates.

The banking sector is one of the highest employer of labour in Nigeria. The job position matters though.

Kachisbarbie, howdy?

Bank and sack is like Bread and Butter..

But Breweries no dey sack. You guys keep drinking Orijin, Gulder, Star and Heineken yet you claim there is no money.

Nigerian youth need to get brain. Money is precious, anyone wasted cannot be recovered..

....and one juvenile delinquent posted this and included banking as one of the hot jobs that will make ladies wanna marry you in a flash.

Was just discussing this with a friend too. If he took a loan and bout a car he will just sell the car to keep afloat

OP where on earth do you get your fake news from? I work with diamond bank and there is nothing of such. please stop posting nonsense and stop mis informing the public.

Okijajuju1:
2015 just got real for those workers..


Una never hala.. for those saying we should kick out South African Businesses, that would add another like 20,000 workers to the equation should Shoprite, Standard Chatered Bank, MTN, Multichoice, Park and Shop and co leave Nigeria. Then let's not talk about those indirectly employed by these companies like; Service providers (Diesel, stationeries, maintenance, e.t.c).

Chief, they dont have to leave Naija. All we need to to do na to nationalise all SA coys in nigeria and nobody go lose their job

Truth or not, it doesn't change the fact that banking job is crap in Nigeria.

Sweetheart Pls do give urself a target and time frame, stop holding on to the apron of the impossible.

Even though the bank did let go of some of their staff recently, the number quoted ("1000" is very sensational.

Besides, the staff strength of the bank was just a little over 4,500 as at December 2014.

Asking 1,000 employees to go in one fell swoop is very unlikely.

Shebi Standard Chartered Bank is now a south African bank?

Fake news!

The affected staff were about 150. I wonder where the 1000 came from.

Sensationalized journalism.

My own advice to every Bank worker, even If u are a cleaner please go and collect a Loan, no man fit sack u, na d best way to dill wit all dox Bank ppl b dat.
