Diamond Bank & Its Funny Policies
A few days ago,the management of diamond bank sent a text message to its customers indicating that from November 1,2017,the said bank will retain a balance of NGN5000 in their accounts.
The question on the lips of many customers of the bank is "but why" other banks dont do that why is diamond bank always funny. Tongues wagged that some months ago,the aforementioned bank came up with a policy of not allowing customers withdraw from their HIDA accounts,owing it to the fact that they get interest from that type of accounts,however when they saw that customers frowned at that policy,refused to operate HIDA accounts as usual,they introduced another policy that customers can now withdraw 3 times in a month after which they wouldn't get any interest.
Its important that diamond bank looks into its product development/policy team to avoid falling into a ditch.

Facebook In Fresh Trouble
Facebook
created a workplace where employees openly mocked a guy for being as
ancient as - wait for it - 50 years old ... at least according to the
ex-worker who's suing.
Gary Glouner says he worked under the Facebook umbrella for 2 years, and during that time was the butt of many ageist jokes. According to the docs, the age cracks included:
- "Old people shouldn't be working at Facebook; they just don't relate"
- "Old people are just creepy"
- "Old people don't belong at Facebook"
Glouner says Mark Zuckerberg himself made public comments in 2007 where he said, "Young people are just smarter." He adds ... the ageism was institutional because during an HR presentation they displayed a chart highlighting the low energy of employees in their 50s.
Worst of all, he says his co-workers in their 20s and 30s always got cake and group celebrations, while he got bupkis. Glouner also claims his boss told him they didn't want to embarrass him by highlighting his advanced age.

Hear What Abba Kyari Says About Kidnapper,Evans &The Social Media
Friends:
There is a Need to Clear the Air on some Issues that are
Misinforming/Misleading the Good members of the public who are
Passionate about Fighting Crime. Number 1) 90 Percent of all
Informations Relating to the arrest of Evans and What Evans Said that's
being shared on Social Media and Some Print Media are False. Just like
most Nigerians, I wake up every morning and hear Different False Stories
on Social Media pertaining to how we arrested Evans and what He Said.
2) The Actual Strategy and Technology we
used in Arresting Vampire, Evans and other Big Kidnappers is known to
only Me and Very few Senior officers I am working together with in the
FHQ. Someone Like Evans would Never have been arrested based on the few
technics that were officially mentioned or The ones Circulating in
Social Media which are actually Technics already known to Criminals.
We've gone ahead of those Technics. Our Real Strategy and Technology
used in Picking Evans and his gang members have Never been Mentioned to
the Media or Members of the Public, and will never be mentioned. 4)
Evans Faced the Media Twice; First when he was Paraded in the Lagos
Command HQ by the Force Public Relations Officer and Secondly when he
took IRT Detectives to his detention Camps in Lagos for the world to
witness him taking the Police to his camp that only him and his boys
knows. This is so that in Future he cannot deny acquiring and Operating
Kidnapper's detention camps in Lagos. 5) Please I Urge Members of the
Public to focus more on what they See or hear from Major Newspapers and
Television Stations who have names to protect and avoid the Avalanche of
Lies and Fictions that is coming out from blogs & Social Media
everyday. Yes we agree Evans is the Biggest and Most Notorious Criminal
arrested during the Social Media Age in Nigeria, but there should be
some decree of Decorum and Honesty in Reporting News please. Many Thanks
to All Our friends and well wishers. May the Almighty bless us all in
our endeavors.

Real Reasons Why Italian Government Deported 40 Nigerians
Day before yesterday,40 Nigerians were deported from Italy by the Italian government.
The reasons for deportation however are not far fetched as 39 out of 40 were deported for immigration reasons,while one male was deported for drug related offenses.
The deportees arrived Muritala Muhammed international airport, lagos, nigeria at 8.25 pm via Nigeria aboard Air Meridiana aircraft with the registration number E1-FNU.
The deportees comprised of men and women. We gathered that the returnee with drug related issues would be handed over to police for further prosecution while 39 others were profiled by the officials of the Nigerian Immigration Service attached to the airport.

I Make Bold To Say Nigeria's Consumer Protection Act Isnt Effective- ENITIOLORUNDA ABIOLA -IDRIS
It is a norm for every nation to make a law that is expected to protect the interest of its citizens in the course of shopping for goods and services. However, this motion is known as consumer protection.
It guards against exploitation of consumers,reduces the risk of exposure to harm from buying and using a product. It also serves as a platform for consumers to seek redress in the event of exploitation.
The Nigeria consumer protection council act under chapter C25,laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, it is an act to provide for the establishment of the consumer protection council and for matters connected therewith.
The council is made up of a chairman,a representative of each state in the Federal Republic of Nigeria and persons representing the ministries of health, commerce, industry, science and technology and petroleum resources.
The function of the council includes the following but are not limited to
1. Provide instant redress to consumers complaints through negotiation, mediation and conciliation.
2. Seek ways and means of eliminating hazardous products from the market and causing offenders to replace such products with appropriate alternatives.
3. Cause an offending company or an individual to report ,compensate or provide relief an safeguards to injured consumers or community from adverse effects of technologies that are inherently harmful.
4. Ensure consumer interest receive due consideration at appropriate forum and provide redress for the exploitation of consumers.
As impeccable as these objectives are, the appraisal of the impact of the act lies in the deliverables.
The ability of the council to record a pass mark in its deliverables rests in its success in combating law offenders.
Case Study
Research has it that newbisco coaster biscuit is in high demand compared to newbisco crackers biscuit.
Two nights ago, i came back from work famished,took a walk into a local store in my neighborhood at okeira, ogba, lagos, nigeria to get newbisco coaster biscuit and a drink.
Unfortunately when i requested for the biscuit the young man told me that i cannot buy newbisco coaster biscuit without buying cracker biscuit, so i asked why and he said bros, that was how they made it compulsory for us at the market, so we have to make it compulsory for our buyers.
Apparently both newbisco crackers and coaster biscuits are manufactured by the same manufacturer.
I think newbisco is exploiting nigerians by coming up with such policy to forcefully sell their products.

The Untold Story: Why South Africans Hate Nigerians By Enitiolorunda Abiola-Idris
Why Nigerians Travel To South Africa?
What South Africa is to Nigeria is what America represents to many across the world.
A land of opportunity. When gold was discovered in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1886, it was being mined by men from a dozen of African nations.
Today , Madiba's country is a magnet for Congolese, Ethiopians, Malawians, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Somalis, Zimbabweans and others fleeing conflict or seeking to improve their lives.
However, the recent wave of xenophobia attack on fellow Africans including Nigerians has tarnished the image and fueled resentment among those who accuse Madiba's countrymen of arrogant exceptionalism that resents its fellow Africans.
Chris, 36 , a security guard from Nigeria had this to say "I chose South Africa because the living conditions are better than any other country
Its a shock for me that its not the democratic country i envisaged
I am disappointed than an African brother can do this to his fellow African brother, this depicts hatred in the heart of South African's
Adding that, some men gathered and said he is a Nigerian, get him and stab him, these are men i have known for some years now, they pursued me and stabbed me on my back, taking my phones and the little money i had left for survival
In the middle of the night, i heard my neighbors been tortured, screaming and running for their lives.
They even hit some of them with a hammer and said you must pack your things and leave"
What Are The Forms Of Xenophobic Attack?
1.Physical Violence
2.Business Location Vandalization
3.Home Vandalization
4.Extortion
How Hate Attack On Nigerians Began
Again, South Africa's xenophobic attack hit Nigerians.
Having started at Durban, in February, 2017, later spread to Johannesburg.
A large number of houses and businesses that belonged to Nigerians were vandalized.
Its note worthy to state that quite a number of Nigerians have been stabbed, beaten, injured, molested by South African's who accuse Nigerians of taking their jobs and their women.
Untold Story: Real Reasons Nigerians Are Being Attacked In Madiba's Country
1. Morbid hatred and jealousy for Nigerians- South Africans harbor morbid hatred for Nigerians,simply because the latter are doing better than them.
Naija's as fondly called are by default very aggressive , highly committed to their businesses, hence they succeed.
2. Lack of education/skills/training- History has it that the government sponsored apartheid regime was designed to keep the black South African's at the lower cadre of the social order.
Apart from being deterred from parity with the white's in their homeland, the black's could not access basic social amenities like education, their lack of education during the apartheid era suffered their generation to be unable to rub shoulder's and stay relevant in a post apartheid society.
This explains why many South African's are uneducated and jobless, however, frustration has turned into hatred towards other African's whom they accuse of taking their low cadre jobs.
3. Nigerian fraudsters & South African Women- It is note worthy to mention that 85% of Nigerian guys in South Africa are fraudsters.
However they make so much money, buy expensive cars, drinks, live large to the extent of having 2-3 South African married women in their abode turned brothel.
These women leave their husbands, boyfriends, fiances for Nigerian scammers who spend so much money on them, while their South African husband remain sex starved.
4. South African men are lazy & irresponsible- Its in South Africa, i saw a woman take care of the family, the man who is suppose to be the head of the family is not working, is referred to as a "local" extorts money, phones from people at night and then sell it, use the money to get high, sleep on the road side,hence the ladies opt for rich Nigerian guys.
5. Cheap labor- It is a known fact that the menial jobs belongs to black South African's because they have no education, yet Nigerian's still apply for those menial jobs because they do not have the required papers to get decent jobs.
Jobs that pay 100 rand per week will be given to a Nigerian who is ready to take a token of 45 rand or less because they do not have papers to get white collar jobs.
Its quite disheartening to hear that Zulu King was quoted to have said that Nigerians should pack their bags and leave now.
What South Africa is to Nigeria is what America represents to many across the world.
A land of opportunity. When gold was discovered in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1886, it was being mined by men from a dozen of African nations.
Today , Madiba's country is a magnet for Congolese, Ethiopians, Malawians, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Somalis, Zimbabweans and others fleeing conflict or seeking to improve their lives.
However, the recent wave of xenophobia attack on fellow Africans including Nigerians has tarnished the image and fueled resentment among those who accuse Madiba's countrymen of arrogant exceptionalism that resents its fellow Africans.
Chris, 36 , a security guard from Nigeria had this to say "I chose South Africa because the living conditions are better than any other country
Its a shock for me that its not the democratic country i envisaged
I am disappointed than an African brother can do this to his fellow African brother, this depicts hatred in the heart of South African's
Adding that, some men gathered and said he is a Nigerian, get him and stab him, these are men i have known for some years now, they pursued me and stabbed me on my back, taking my phones and the little money i had left for survival
In the middle of the night, i heard my neighbors been tortured, screaming and running for their lives.
They even hit some of them with a hammer and said you must pack your things and leave"

The $100 Domiciliary Account Saga
Its a known fact that in Nigeria to open a domiciliary account of any kind requires foreign exchange.
To open a dollar domiciliary account requires a $100 note and the same applies to pounds and euro.
Despite the fact that the federal govt pumped millions of dollars into the market to sustain liquidity of dollars in the inter-bank foreign exchange market, commercial banks still ask its customers to patronize parallel markets for dollar notes to open domiciliary accounts when they can collect its equivalent in naira and credit the domiciliary account .
In what way will this policy stabilize the foreign exchange market?
Why Shouldn't Diamond Bank's Integrity Be Questioned?
The most interesting feature of this product was its "USP" which gave people the opportunity to save towards a project , get high interest rate, withdraw from their respective accounts anytime they deem fit.
On, March 13 2017, the aforementioned bank sent a mail to its customers that the rule has changed adding that HIDA account holders would no longer be able to withdraw from their accounts anymore also only transfer to other Diamond Bank accounts can be made twice a month.
This decision of the bank led to a pandemonium in the Ogba branch of Diamond Bank.
I understand that the said bank must have requested for the approval of this so called policy change
from the Central Bank of Nigeria but the truth about the matter is that the CBN needs to take a deep look at this so called policy change that lacks integrity.
