You think building a business is easy?? Think again

and BTW, not everyone is fit for business.

joey150:


The way you all scream entrepreneurship, one would think that every business man is a millionaire and that businesses are immune to financial and economic shock.

You mind them? When they should be advocating getting skills whilst in paid employment they’re there belittling paid employment�‍♂️

Something is still confusing me here ooo, so after all the Lagos City Marathon, Access The Stars, Covid-19 donation, is it that they didn't plan the something well or they were already running out of funds to begin with? Because the number of branches they're closing down is still shocking me! I hope our money is sha safe ooo!!!

The uncertainty of paid employment. Everyone on salary should divert a portion of his pay towards building a profitable biz

Very dumb of you. Unfortunately you and those that replied you attaching ethnic coloration are one and the same.

2 weeks was enough to get our acts together, instead we chose to copy the West who can always manipulate all the world economic organizations in their favor. Do we really understand that we are Africans or we think we are Europeans & Americans. No right thinking African country should have joined the lockdown, same way Europe and America weren't lockdown during Ebola, shutting down the economy is too expensive for any African country to deal with. This is only the beginning. We just don't have leaders and followers with sense

OsuIgboIpob:

That's a lie.
Very few do 9 to 5.
MOST do 8 to 4-5.

Any full time employment is a 9 to 5 job even if you work 20 hours - it doesn't matter..

iswallker:


Both of you are illitrates arguing about 9 - 5

9 - 5 is a reference to paid employment - the actual hours of work is nkt the point.

Which is the exact point I was driving at with him...

DopeDrugDealer:
As the country is now, please guys do anything to survive, carry gun if you fit

useless bank, when they were dishing out money to this corrupt regime, they've forgotten. See where eye service done land them now.....I just pity the employee.

toffyz:
Useless bank

Are they the only one affected by the lockdown.

And this useless bank donated millions of naira to FG recently

Correction, Access Bank donated #1 Billion to Fed govt & not millions

I remember when I was asked to go from my JOB despite doing over 150% of my sales target and getting recognition from the MD, it was like the world came to a total stop. I thought of my 5 month pregnant wife and my house rent that will be due in just 1month Thank God today I am ok, self employed my beautiful baby girl will be a year old next week. Trust me I never want to work again.

Whenever there is any form of distress on the economy, banks is one of the first institutions that take the hit! That's why I never liked bank jobs and I don't envy them! I wish them luck as they are thrown back into the already congested labour market!

jeffizy:
And she's one of many more to come. Sad but true reality.

Nigeria is not a country you rely on a job that is not your own. They will lift you high today and dash you to the ground tomorrow.

I've always been a campaigner for entrepreneurship, even though it takes smartness and agility to survive in that terrain, no one can bully you or use you like a mop.

Hmmn...so on point.."they will lift you high today and dash you to the ground tomorrow".

I can't forget my time working in Intercontinental Homes, a mortgage bank subsidiary of the defunct Intercontinental Bank. There was this colleague who was always coming out tops in the monthly ranking of Home Plan accounts opened. Home Plan was the primary mortgage plan of the bank. People like us were at the bottom of the ranking, I never brought any customer to open any account throughout my time there.
Now when this same Access Bank took over Intercontinental Bank & it's subsidiaries, God's spirit in me prompted me to resign early 2012. A month after I left, the bosses at Intercontinental Homes were told to downsize staff...this colleague who was best-performing staff in bringing in accounts was sacked along with some other staff including my immediate boss. I was shocked when I heard it. I met this colleague at Marina some years later, he was still bitter about how he was sacked.

A leader in my church was the MD of one of Diamond Bank's subsidiaries for many years. He was sacked during the 2008/2009 period when Sanusi Lamido created some policies that affected the banking sector. This man was jobless for about 8 months...his saving grace was that he had established a business for the wife while he was in the bank. That was what was taking care of their expenses during that period.

I tell my people and anyone who wants to hear that bank work is not the kind of job you should build your castle on....period!

spinna:


This is the dumbest statement i have heard in a long time. Your obsession and hatred for Yorubas is what is affecting your mental state. Everything that u see you must relate it to Yoruba

The only thing I am glad about is that you are didnt start abusing Igbos..because we don't know the tribe of this poster.

Golan007:


The bank has been pilfering money from its depositors for a while now.

They've been on the ropes for a while and I foresee many depositors making a hasty withdrawal of their funds in the days to come.

I have not used my access accounts for a long time because of their unwarranted deductions. I also stopped directly funding my Diamond Bank accounts after they acquired them last year, except to prevent my corporate account from becoming dormant. In the last 1-2 weeks, they have been sending me emails like ..WE HAVE MISSED YOU..... PLEASE FUND YOUR ACCOUNT.....when I see those mails, I just laugh in Swahili.

Kokopiper:
. Explain

How do I liken it unto? Okay.... You use your mental and physical strength to work for someone and save through earnings in other to buy food from a farmer who uses the same strength to plant, harvest, eat from it, and sell the remains.


Boss, you, and farmers. The middle should emancipate himself from mental slavery because such is highly vulnerable and prone to raging storms.

MondayOsunbor:



Mrs taiwo that means she is yoruba .please tell she lose her job 2015 when she voted for buhari !

NEXT LEVEL JARE

Okay...so the 30 million people that lost their job in USA made a mistake by voting Donald Trump or what are you saying?

Everything is caused by Buhari... even when a drunk man falls into the gutter, it is Buhari's fault. Do you know that some people who have nothing to do with government have become millionaires, started businesses, got juicy contracts and jobs since 2015?
Buhari has his issues, but is definitely not the cause of all the problems we may have.

ericmor:


I know a girl that always secure her bank job with that thing between her legs.

she should also secure it with her womb, when the beneficiary is done with her, they'll still bounce her and she'll live the rest of her damaged life in suicidal regret

ikabasa1:
I believed the bank is offloading the staffs of former Diamond bank. The real access bank staffs are safe.

No I kinda disagree, may be most diamond bank branches sha. The access bank on toyin street Ikeja was also shut down and it had always been the real access bank from inception

EgunMogaji2:


It’s the same way in the USA. No difference

Nigeria do need unemployment insurance scheme though. This is another free business idea from EgunMogaji Oko Alhaja Fathia

Fixed

Even businesses are hit by the pandemic so this mess hit every sector hard.

Shut up you big for nothing bastard. Access bank should be boycotted by all. Am sure you were paid to come and say this rubbish. May thunder from hesven destroy your entire household.

franksam2009:
What were you all expecting to be the outcome of a total economy lock-down without proper planning

Correct guy!!

How does this banks make profits from paying staff, running on hefty diesel generator, paying taxes, buying and acquiring infractures i.e land to building and painting of bank hall and even across the nearest world over.

dingbang:
yes other bank workers should be concerned. They should take heed and invest because their days are numbered too

Damn!

Too bad.
