In a trending video, a Nigerian banker has opened up about his frustrations with working in the banking sector.
The man revealed that he has been employed in a commercial bank for 16 years, yet has nothing tangible to show for all his years of service.
Expressing his disappointment, he said: “I’m not too happy because it feels like I’ve been used for the past 16 years. I’ve been doing my work diligently — look at the time I’m leaving for work now, as usual. It’s as if I’ve been used all these years and there's nothing to show for it.”
He went on to advise parents whose children may be considering a career in commercial banking to think carefully, stressing that working in Nigerian commercial banks is not for the faint-hearted, especially for junior staff. “They will suck you like an orange — suck you dry and then throw you away,” he lamented.
While acknowledging that some people are thriving in the commercial banking sector, he claimed that such individuals often have powerful connections. “It’s those who know the right people that are making it big,” he added.
In an attempt to console himself, he expressed hope for a better future. “But I know that as today marks my sixteenth year in the bank, God will show me favor — I’m confident of that,” he declared.
He concluded by saying that if anyone could help him secure a new job, he would gladly leave the banking industry, emphasizing that he’s not ready to die working in a commercial bank.
In a very funny twist, while trying to round off his speech, something amusing happened. Being the early hours of the morning, as he walked along the road, chickens nearby began making their usual morning noises, interrupting his recording. In a hilarious moment, he commanded the chickens to stop making noise, speaking in Yoruba dialect.
His lamentation has since drawn mixed reactions across various social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly known as Twitter).

I ed the banking sector and resigned in less than 2yrs because I saw no future there and besides I sometimes go to work on Sundays to set up equipment for training and manage too many files and correspondence.
I said "this is not what I want in life" I thank God for helping me take that bold step then.

No wonder some steal from customers' s out of frustration.
Steal from customers how? You can’t debit a customer just like that without the system being aware. Try and be asking your banker friends questions before throwing out assumptions

Hyper Inflation
The cost to get a clean apartment in a secure/decent area is ridiculous compared to the average wage
There’s no more middle class, it’s been wiped out totally
The president in his campaign said he was going to reduce the purchasing power of people
He’s absolutely done that
Most people can’t live on legal incomes it seems
Living a righteous life for the average person in Nigeria seems impossible (except people making clean money from the internet)
You can’t even play by the conventional ru.les anymore
I almost ended up like him, though I am a civil servant(, federal civil servant ooo). When my plans were not working, I entered into tech without reg from my civil service. That's when things began falling into place for me. It's still not late for him.
Meanwhile, most state civil servants in Nigeria now earn more than their federal counterparts.
Please don't argue with that person..he's stating clear fact..I have a freind that worked in UBA..after she had work hard to secure big company for the branch..she stopped due to stress and pressure to meet target after all she was doing to meet up
You are defending someone who confessed he worked as a contract staff ?
Adewale1603:
you want to tell me that you never see fat and fresh beggars, security, gateman before. What does being fat has to do with someone suffering and going through ordeals. Being fat is your hereditary and DNA, it has nothing do with being enjoying. As Nigerians are suffering now, are there still no more fat people again in the country.
My advice to all young employees ,whether bankers or not is: save your money. If this guy had a culture of savings,he won't be feeling so cheated.I also did banking for more than 15 years and I have no regrets.
If speaking out like this with valuable information is your own definition of speaking out then, there must be a new definition of stupidity. Perhaps, you are the poster boy.

Not only banking man. Nigeria na hell phase 2
If an Igbo man can start live from being an apprentice to owning a 2 by 2 shop that is even shared, to building a 4 story apartment. Then, I can't understand the rubbish this man is talking about. Making money is mostly about lifestyle. They say live within your means!
Celestialsword:
This man is not focused,he has no plans,he lives direction less, hence this frustrating remark.
Since he knew there's no future for him there,he would have planned his exit.
This is actually the reason why most commercial bank staffs take to fraudulent means to make it because they've virtually lost hope.
It's never too late,he can still plan his exit legitimately.
You should know that Nigeria is a country that kills people's visions, you are talking as if all those that had big plans has made it after 16yrs. You will be surprised that he is still better than majority. If God don't answer your call, all your big plans is just like dust in the air
Every HND holder in the banking sector in Nigeria are the weeping Boys.
Theyre the the second class citizens in the banking industry. They constitute over 85% of any bank's staff.
They do the bulk of the jobs and are exposed to so much risks, yet they're the least paid.
What happens in the Nigeria banking industry is simply MODERN DAY SLAVERY.
Contract Staffs / DSAs in all the commercial banks are really frustrated. The descrpancy is just unimaginable.
Tellers do the jobs and denied their allowances and bonuses.
Marketers are given unimaginable targets monthly without any tangible benefits. IMAGINE A BANK ASKING MARKETERS TO OPEN OVER 150 MONTHLY AND A CASH DEPOSIT OF OVER 100 MILLION...??
And if after 3 months you don't deliver, you're thrown out to the street without anything.
This happens even in CBN
No one hears their cries. CBN has turned a blind eye on this complaint and lamentations.
BANKS LIKE ZENITH BANK AND ECO BANK ARE BURIAL GROUNDS FOR CONTRACT STAFFS OR HND HOLDERS.
Zenith Bank will keep you static as a bulk teller for over 20yrs and then throw you out when you get too old and weak.
Ecobank will keep you for 6yrs as a teller and throw you out later.
ECOBANK REMAINS THE LEAST PAYING COMMERCIAL BANK IN NIGERIA AND OVER 95% OF HER STAFF STRENGTH ARE ALL CONTRACT.
He's not a banker but an ordinary bank worker /staff or employee!
The owner of a bank is called a BANKER!
THERE'S NO WAY AN EMPLOYEE WILL BE RICHER THAN THE EMPLOYER!
Content creators. Commercial banks remains one of the highest paying institutions in Nigeria, where any focused graduate could learn, earn and develop lots of capabilities. The banking system nurtured me within the period I was there and what I earned provided the capital that I invested and continued to reap from, years after I left the system. How many organisations in Nigeria can pay a newly recruited graduate trainee up to N180k to N250k? Work in the banking sector, endure the stress, learn as much as you can, save wisely and leave when you have fully developed yourself, became an authority in one niche and have invested and saved.
Like most of us!
The life of the Poor and the Middle Class is a programmed life in a programmed environment that enables the programmed life accepted by the programmed as the normal life to live!

Isn't 95% over exaggeration? Besides, I thought they also convert their staffs after a while.

You have to do what you love, not what will make you rich.
I wrote a book 8 years ago, which took me 6 years of reading and research to complete. But at the last check, I've sold just about 200 copies. On top of that, I recently wrote another one.
I was about to start writing a third book but my laptop computer developed a fault. I gave it to a technician to repair but more problems developed. I am just waiting to get a new laptop to start writing another.
When I write a book, I feel like freeing myself from prison. And it may surprise you that it's not because I like writing per se but because I like sharing the type of information I write about.
By the way, I've put out all the books out there for FREE. If I make money from it, fine. If I don't, fine.
Do something you like.
You are very right bro, when I was going into faceless YouTube I see people doing horror niche, true crime etc but I didn't have ion for it but eventually I settled for what I love which is football. Now I'm so happy everyday doing my faceless soccer channel.

Mr Focus.. what you just write here is easier said than done especially if he is a married man . That's why guys should not marry as a salary earner infact never marry as an average guy else you will be caught in the rat race like other averagely married young men out there
