In May 2009, Mrs. Ekwunife L. Akabogu signed as a contract employee at the Enugu branch of Skye Bank Plc (the bank), based in Lagos, Nigeria. For the salary of N45, 000, Akabogu joined the Bank under the title of Priority Sales Support Officer and was posted to the Enugu branch for a period of six months, at which point her employment would be up for review.
This new position signified the realization of a longtime desire for Akabogu—to work in a corporate atmosphere. She applied for the position following ample suggestion from various parties that she possessed the skills and attributes suitable for the banking industry. It did not take Akabogu long however to realize the ulterior motives behind the flattery.
Once Akabogu had agreed to the contract, the Branch Manager asked if she was familiar with Chief Christian Uba of the PDP, a client whom the Bank had been unsuccessfully wooing for some time. Upon admitting her acquaintance with Chief Uba, the Manager suggested that in order to prove her dedication to her new employer, Akabogu pursue Chief Uba on the Bank’s behalf. The Manager made clear that he did not wish to know the details of what would transpire however, yet assured Akabogu that Uba would be interested in a quid pro quo agreement and that the end would certainly justify the means.
She told her husband, who suggested that she ignore the request. Once the Bank recognized that she was unwilling to partake in the scheme, they corralled her involvement in the Bank’s activity to only fixed deposits and certain priority accounts, which she sees as bogus free Priority Passes for lounge access that the Bank uses to pilfer money from clients through hidden charges (interest, ATM and guest fees, lounge beverages), which the Bank officers are prohibited from warning the patrons about. More common practice (as is practiced at Barclay’s) is to have an upfront fee for the Priority Pass and then offer services and amenities within the Pass free of charge. 
Not only was Akabogu demoted in this manner, even the accounts that she had opened were passed on to other Bank officers, depriving her from taking credit for the sixteen accounts that she opened totaling a value of almost six million naira. She was also denied a proper workspace and computer as well as a vehicle (providing a company vehicle for marketing purposes is general practice). Her argument is that the reason behind her status as a contract employee rather than staff employee is that they are not listed as account managers, and given the high turnover rate for employees at her level, they would likely no longer be working at the Bank once the fees were noticed by the customers. Under this scheme, the Bank escapes culpability. She was being used as bait to entice new clientele.
During Akabogu’s second month of employment, the Bank Manager reprimanded her for whiling away the hours collecting her salary, and not pulling in big clients such as contractors and politicians in return. He warned her that the central office in Lagos had communicated their disappointment with her performance, questioning why she had not "mopped the entire monies on the streets of Enugu." He demanded that she toughen up and gave her the new task of marketing at the new local hotels where movers and shakers spend time. He advised that she wear pricey perfume and short skirts in order to flaunt her legs, and also suggested that she not hesitate to take perspective depositors to the Zodiac Hotel if the occasion called for it. Her job description began to transform based on verbal alterations, not through written declarations of her “job description and performance target” as had been agreed upon. She never even received a proper ID card and was consistently the object of ridicule at weekly managerial meetings for what they saw as the misuse of her god-given assets and her loyalty to her husband over her bank. The stress began to take a toll on her, and she frequently needed medical attention and was admitted to the hospital on two occasions after collapsing, although the Bank doubted the veracity of her ailment.
Upon her return to work, a co-worker named Maureen Okoye stridently accused her in front of fellow staff and bank patrons of stealing her phone, an allegation that Akabogu denies and deems to be proof of the co-worker’s collaboration with the Bank Managers. Okoye also accused Akabogu of stealing her certificate, only to find she had left it in the copy machine. When Akabogu complained to the manager Chinedu Oguejiofor, he simply proposed that she not tell her husband and refused to grant a review of the security camera footage. It was not until after ample prodding from her husband that they permitted the evaluation of the footage a week later. Simultaneously, she was issued a query to explain what had transpired. Although she thought it was common knowledge who her accuser was, it became apparent from the footage that the phone had actually fallen out of the accuser Maureen Okoye’s own bag. In the wake of this event, Akabogu was transferred to another branch while Okoye remains at her post.
When Akabogu reported to the new post, the branch manager greeted her and lamented over being sent a non-performing employee. He assigned her a monthly quota of 30 million nira, to be accrued through any type of account. When Akabogu stated that the central branch in Lagos had warned her not to open other types of accounts, the manager insulted her and told her to do as she was told.
Soon thereafter, Lagos sent an employee named Edna Samuels to Enugu to inquire as to why Akabogu was not opening ten priority accounts per week as had been agreed. She was called into the manager’s office and told to sit in his chair for a one on one chat. She asked to pull up another chair; they refused her request, and as she sat down in his chair the manager entered and threw a fit upon seeing her in his place. Akabogu insists this was a set up, another example of her colleagues trying to make a fool out of her. The manager continued to castigate her, declaring that not even in ten years would she be in the place to have that seat and that she should "fly away from [his] office."
After Samuels left, the manager Donatus Ugwoke summoned a staff meeting, at which he persisted to deride Akabogu, expressing his hope that Lagos would not send him any more non-performers, but instead hire the much sharper women who were applying for jobs in increasing numbers. He demanded an Amen from the employees, and they dutifully responded with applause and an Amen. Ugwoke then gave her the ultimatum to open ten accounts that week, or she would be terminated. Ekwunife Akabogu refused the offer and resigned.
She has since petitioned the Human Rights Commission and the EFCC, and has filed a lawsuit against the Skye Bank in order to call attention to the plight of female staff “who are forced to sell their soul to the devil by prostituting on behalf of the banks.”
-This report is regarding Suit No. E/386/09 in the High Court of Enugu State of Nigeria between (Plaintiff) Mrs. Ekwunife L. Akabogu vs, (Defendents) Skye Bank Plc, Nkolika Okoli, Chinedu Oguejiofor, Donatus Ugwuoke, Dr. Charles Udeogo, Maureen Okoye where Mrs. Ababogu seeks N1 billion in damages from Skye bank.

... Folks, This is a big ochestrated SCAM, by OHIO. Read what this fraudster wrote about Chris Uba in July 2009 and what "D Prest" wrote few days ago. OHIO STOP IT. Probe Gov. Peter Obi over N250 million cash haul-PDP lawmakers in Anambra State written by kingsley akabogu , July 22, 2009 Chris Uba the abductor, Chris Uba the kidnapper of a sitting governor when kidnapping was alien in Nigeria, Chris Uba the illiterate, Chris Uba the destruction of Anambra state, Chris Uba the enfant terrible brother to the killer who ruled Anambra for 17 comical days, Chris Uba the face of the most criminal grotesque party Africa has seen in Anambra. "la ciete ogni esperanza" abandon hope all yee who come through this gate. How Skye bank tried to ‘pimp’ female staff to controversial PDP Chieftain Chris Uba written by D. Prest , November 10, 2009 MR TOBI,In Dante's description of hell, it says,"la ciete ogni esperanza",abandon hope all ye that come through this gate. |

... I'm suprised that some even doubt the veracity of Mrs Akabogu's claims, but I congratulate her and her husband for mustering the courage to frontally confront these merchants of sleaze and vice. Most of those who have been subjected to and are still in the threoes of such harrowing experiences will never speak up. It's like rape and incest. Mute and mum is the unwritten code. We can never be certain how the legal battle'll turn out, but whatever happens, we should all come to terms with the fact that the problem is but the manifestation of our society's worsening moral deficit. Look closely at other sectors, and you'll identify the same rot. I wish it's something legislation can cure but I'm afraid it's more serious than that.What we desperately need is a moral recrudescence. Once again, I congratulate the Akabogus. May your tribe increase! |

... MR TOBI,In Dante's description of hell, it says,"la ciete ogni esperanza",abandon hope all ye that come through this gate. he was talking about the fourth stage of hell as ur life belongs to it.of what good is ur life when ur dreams and thoughts leave the present and hibernate to delusions of grandeur? do u ever have thoughts of how ur life couldhave been if u succeeded? acting out suppressed thoughts of hate,envy and spite amongst the deadly sins would not help release u from dante's hell. I know ur kind,u are yearning to reclaim what u have lost over the years.everything was taken frm u.u are now empty,sapped empty and dry by the very support system that is of ur make up.a sad picture of lifes story of karma,where murder and death is a harbringer of ur sorry existence. you need a scape goat!sorry its all gone.the dead took away ur happiness, they took away what ur story would have been. they watch and wait till u turn the next corner, u are their story, a sad story by dante! |

... MR TOBI,the amount of direct insults spewing frm u suggest this couple must have tormented your poor soul.this forum is about finding resolution to a social epidemic we as Nigerians are experiencing in the hands of these banks.it seems that you are preoccupied by a phantom issue not mentioned here?you sound very much like a man who happiness has left his life,a man who has had stunted dreams, a very sad man who cant seem to understand why time has stood still in that washington mall on that so called day of inauguaration.what did you learn alledgedly watching obama give his speech?I bet you would never know cause time flew by as always in your life.Well,pick up the broken pieces of glass in your consternation and mirror your life,so many failures,shallow dreams,a sad luv life,a confused middle years and definitely a life full of unpromising pipe dreams.So as you pass through life in a waltz, crawling through it rudderless, may you anchor your pipe dreams on a bottle. |

... TOOOOOBBBBBYYYYYY,which one of the two gets you incensed more, is it the claim for 1billion or the 50billion suggested by PREST?if you pick 1billion,there is a proceedure I can teach you where you place your index finger on the artery right next to your temple,apply pressure for 10 seconds not more.so you will need a timer.that way,you would not experience an urgent surge of blood to your brain and cause anurism rupture. if you choose 50billion,run now to any neighbourhood pharmacy and procure an over the counter asprin,no doctors prescription needed. that way, the heart attack that would have visited you while in deep thought would at least leave you for now! on the other hand, I strictly suggest that you stay away from this page for now because the pro comments here will killyou before your time irrespective of my health tips. u have been advised and warned .TOOOOOBBBBBYYYYYYYYYY! |

... TOBY or is it with the letter "I"?well which ever letter it is. lets just assume that law is not your calling,but neverthless,it must be explained to you for you come across a special child.when people go to court and ask for punitive and examplary damages,the courts are meant to take judicial notice of the demand.it is not meant to cripple the institution or put them out of business.the courts award damages as they see fit,but uses the demand as a yard stick.their are people who are trail blazers and you dont fit into those great people,so I perfectly understand the cheerleading role you are playing for the bank.your suggestions of having discussions start on the issue is right on point.so let me ask this, do you think that it is equally a good move to bring in the world press like CNN to help nigeria expose the rot in Skye bank and the rest or maybe oprah?that way,you can call CNN or Oprah and tell them what a bad job they are doing. Please advise |

Who has ever sued a company in Nigeria and gotten a billion and u r talking 50 billion, 9jas and greed, did Skye bank kill anyone? meanwhile this issue left to me has died a painful death, they even know wat the outcome will be in court, now b4 d dude dat was talking about the black woman in the bus dat refused 2 give up her sit for a white starts running his mouf, I applaud her courage but 9ja has not reached dat stage, left to me dis case shld have been used to create awareness, shame dem publicly get the necessary ppl involved, talk shows like moments with mo, proper main stream newspaper cos not everyone has access 2 internet but it seems dis couple are more interested in the loot and in ur case mr Prest 50 billion, greedy cow, wetin u go take am do? U r just a joker! |

... ADEKUNLE ADENUSI,interesting angle u raised.but in civil law,the rules are different.criminal law states that one must prove the case beyond all doubts.but in civil law,you can just raise conjecture.meaning that Mrs Akabogu can even use information frm women from other banks to make her case.secondly,in your comment you questioned the veracity of a lawsuit?if you read the story above, you would have seen the cause number of the lawsuit filed by Mrs Akabogu and not Mr Akabogu as a few people here are confusing issue's and trying to change the narrative.as per the banks response in thisday,do you seriously consider that an intelligent response to the matter in court or an omnious threat to life?if I were Mrs Akabogu, I would immediately commence a collateral action of libel for maybe 50billion based on that ill advised publication frm Skye bank.this promises to be interesting legal fireworks. |

... I am not surprised because the above has only got very bad. It is been on since early 1990s when the female employees used bottom power to get good appraisals and promotion. One of the banks with Spring Bank, then somewhere on Marina Street had one notorious lady ( I was told she is now a manager at some where in Oyo State) was rumored to have fake certificates, but was helped by (then) an Asst. GM to rise because the AGM (married) was having affairs with her. The lady was also flaunting her natural endowments to clients who were having their share and putting money in the bank. |

... for those here trying desperately hard to malign this poor woman,skye bank is in no position whatsoever to call anyone a fraudster as they have elevated fraud to a corporate form accepted only in a basket case like Nigeria.In america, all their top management would be ex-convicts.sort of like pot calling kettle black.I do not need to attend the trial to know that if I sat on the jury trying skye bank, I would summarily vote guilty as charged.those imbeciles stole my girlfriend from me. especially that stupid falomo round about manager of the bank who made it a point of duty to have sex with her on his desk after work and she claimed that they were rounding up the marketing tips of the day. God will punish all you animals in skye bank. you are just lucky I am not the judge or jury in this matter or I would have awarded this woman 10billion,9billion over what she asked for. I hope funmi was worth all the hassle. idiots |

... I have read comments on Mrs Ekwy Akabogu being called a crook or a fraudster. I do not know her husband that FRAUD BUSTERS claimed was jailed in Houston. Ekwy Akabogu NEVER lived in Houston, TX or involved in a Western Union. Her husband probably has another wife in Houston that he abandoned after being deported to Nigeria assumming Fraud Busters facts are right. Ekwy is my niece I have known her since age 2 and she never lived in the USA . Her husband met her in Enugu and married her there. i also know her to be a loyal person who will not compromise her values for money so please stick to the facts of a case already in court and let Skye Bank defend herself. |

I equally read the skye bank publication in the paper, and it simply did not register.I couldn't fathom whether it was satire or an expensive attempt gone awry to covey a credible reponse to grevious allegations raised here.which everone it is,I took away a certain chill at melancholy as to how an institution that is alledgedly supposed to parade bright minds will come out with a cantakarous response.it is forever strange in my mind,but then, those the Gods want to destroy,they first make mad. I will withold judgement, the jury is still out. |

... bros Compass bank, are you truly a bank or a prankster? I just checked the website of skye bank and you are right. but that is strange. I thought the oldest banks in Nigeria are first bank and union bank? why the deception or is it part of the Nigerian scam gone corporate? yes I remember skye bank beign a pruduct of mergers from very weak banks. prudent,coporative,bond and some I cant remember.they sort approval from central bank and had the name registered two years ago.so the name SKYE BANK is actually two years old.The information on their own website is totally misleading. maybe they are targeting oyibo as you claim.that info cant possibly be for Nigerians. nice info though! |

... Everyone, please go to skye bank official website,maybe I am seeing double,therein lies the smoking gun.skye bank claims in their profile that they are a 50yr old bank and one of the oldest banks in Nigeria.very, very,strange.this is in their own words. before I get eaten up here by skye bank hacks,we all know that skye bank was incorported and registered about two years ago after a merger of five other banks including the fraudulent BOND bank who the MD and one of his directors stole the bank blind.since most Nigerians dont visit the skye bank website, would it then be credible for us to assume that that info is directed at oyibos as corporate 419? so much for,bigger and wiser! |

... a friend showed me the publication that the bank had been running in the papers as their side of the story, and I wept for Nigeria. seriously I did!I began to wonder out aloud how an institution with that kind of demented mindset as to call a plaintiff who instituted a legitimate cause of action in a court of competent jurisdiction member of a criminal syndicate make profits for shareholders?. I then realised that maybe,just maybe what the lady claims happened actually did happen since the bank operates onthe same lines of criminal enterprise. suffice to say that those of us who assume that since the bank is big,then losing is not an option shld think twice. nobody believed that the 85yr old bear sterns would fail under the yoke of corruption and bad debts. |

... JOHNSTON OTEI,bigger is not always smarter. if going by the skye bank publication, then skye bank needs to fire the person that crafted their response. when a bank literarily admits that the info that was used against against them is valid, only that it was used as means of blackmail by a plant, means that the bank has already caputulated. and that the only grey area is whether the info fell into the wrong hands. this battle must be fought through the courts, fair and square. skye banks first foray into the court of public opinion is a disaster.can someone dipute that this case is between MRS E Akabogu vs SKYE BANK PLC, or do we have any other people joined in this action? please inform me. |

... My people, i really worry about nigeria, I live in Manchester and I always log on to SR 2 know watsup and I clicked on this! while I agree with a lot of ppl my main worry is that this story shld not have gone to the newspaper in dis manner with family pictures and all, they say it's not the first person that cries foul... No doubt it's very wrong and abominable wat dese banks in 9ja get up to but this case shld be handled in court to be published later when the case is over, atleast dats how its done over here to avoid negative coverage. If the Akabugo man is already making arrests and has a wonderful legal arsenal why cldn't they excercise patience, when the law fails them which probably they wld, then it wld make sense to publish it cos now, we all don't even know wats up with this case becos Skye bank being bigger and wiser r not saying much as to regards dis case except the said warning letter they published? Dis Chris Uba is quite controversial oh!! |

... BUKOLA ALAO, to the second part of your comment about the layout of the article including pictures.as much as I wont stomach my family splashed on the internet,I cant equally judge someone who obviously feels agrieved.for a story of this magnitude, the bank needs to see the family for what it is worth and realise the potential damage they are causing other families with their immoral policies.the sad part of this is not whether the woman should have put up the pictures,but that some nigerians especially some women have been numbed by evil ways that they now see good as bad and bad as good. to those people,I say,one day you will see the light! remember the young woman that stood up to a rear admiral of the Nigerian navy after she was beaten by his ratings and stripped naked!only in Nigeria. I bet a lot of people here will think that she should forgive him. |

... BUKOLA ALAO,it is good we nigerians on this page are having this discuss about this problem. but lets get to the facts. do banks abroad send women out as sheep amongst wolves?the answer is no,would institutions abroad brazingly steal your money the way Nigerian banks do?the answer is no!if Mrs Akabogu brought her action in saner climes, would skye bank not issue a public statement to allay the fears of the public?yes they would. so my dear, we know that there are two sides of the story. but if their side is the side I read in their medi blitz,then Mrs Akabogu might as well claim early victory. |

What happened here really? Was she raped, molested? I see her pix with hubby, is dis supposed to make us think Skye bank was about to destroy a loving marriage? My point is this, this situation is serious enuf even if she was a single woman, lets focus on that than inciting some emotional bribery. SR pls can you update us on this case cos I'm truly interested. @Legal matters, maturity requires us to respect other ppls opinions weda we like it or not...

I was shocked to read the almost unintelligent view from the bank.most reponsible institutions abroad would have said,"we do not respond to issue already in court,we are conducting our own internal investigation and will make our findings public in due course".rather than this,they pretty much accepted that some info was gathered by whoever the alledged plant is. the question now is whether the woman is a plant, not whether the information is real,because by their own publication,they did not refute the info that is been used against them,they are merely angry at who got the info.this is entirely strange that the bank would point the gun at itself and shoot. |

I know a girl that worked for skye Bank in their surulere branch who told me that skye bank literarily told her to sleep with a client and when she refused, her ED gave her a query claiming that the client said she was rude to him. so akabogu has a legitimate issue. lets stay within the confines of the case guys. |

What we need in Nigera is divine intervention and not cheap scam. When is the court case so that I will fly down to Nigeria and not to read it in SR.Ohio Pray for break 2ru not to scam. STOP IT.

... this same Aluku has consistently casted aspersions on this woman and her husband here.Bros, whatever this fine family did to you,leave it to God to be the judge. but if you insist on continuing with this, I suggest to this family to invoke psalm 109 on you no matter your name here and you will surely get your due. this woman is fighting for change and we dont really care if she slept with her street as long as she did it in free will. not when a bank deploys intimidation to have her do it. |

... @SAM UDEZUE and SAM ALUKU are the same people. is it not bad enough that you have steadily castigated this woman for no reason beyond hate that you now choose to castigate her lawyer? laywers are meant to take briefs and fight for the common man and the last time I checked,it is not a crime for lawyers to even represent murderers.I am sure it comes to you as a shock the postings here.its because all good thinking nigerians hate what the banks are doing.and they respond accordingly including urs truly. so pls dont expect to disparage people here and clear minded people would let you make it out thro the door.it will be wise to offer your advise to skye bank in confidence than to spew hate and innuendo's here. |

... The law is such an interesting arrangement. not to say that I side anyone in this fast turning legal drama, but one must educate non lawyers here on the issues. lets just for conjecture agree that the conviction of Mr Akabogu is relevant in the case the wife brought against skye bank, the bank must show in court that ever since the conviction of Mr Akabogu in far away US, that there continued a monotony of artifices of the same kind to merit the threshold of a criminal enterprise. what it means is that the bank must prove that Mr Akabogu continued with the same line of lively hood since he came back to Nigeria. if they hinge their case on Mr akabogu and the guy comes into the court room with any evidence of a legitimate means of lively hood, the bank is in for some long night. research fellas, rsearch |

... @FRAUD BUSTERSS, thanks for informing us of the convictions for Mr Akabogu.as much as it makes for good comedy, Mr Akabogu neither worked for Skye Bank nor the person that sued Sky Bank. so I suggest that if skye feels aggrieved, they should ask that he be joined in the action and harsh it out in court. and also, I am sure that if you put Mr Akabogu side by side in a who to like with Skye bank, he will come out of the contest smelling like roses. skye bank is a criminal enterprise already condemned by a vast number of Nigerians and you tactics wont work. I suggest you advise your illiterate staff to walk a fine line or Mr Akabogu would take you to the cleaners for pulling him into a fight that he is not involved in. |

I hate Skye Bank but this one is definitely a case of a fraudulent couple trying to reap where they did not sow. If it is not a fraud, what is this N1b they're asking for? What damage are we talking about here? If this man has ever seen N1b in his life, why did he send his wife to go do a N45,000 a month job? Pls spare us. SR, please let's hear Skye Bank's version of the story. I believe there's more to this... AZ |

... It seems Mr. Akabogu was convicted on October 18, 2002 by the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, Southern District of Texas for passport fraud and wire fraud. he pleaded guilty to these two counts out of seven (which means he is a confessed crook) for which he was sentenced to jail for 37 months. the name of this person sentenced is Chidi kingsley Akabogu. The address of this convict is 6671 Southwest Freeway, #220, Houston, Texas 77Q74. the case number is 4:02CR0021S-001. His lawyer was a Mr. Richard Ellison. I told you people this guy is a professional fraudster. I understand his wife is also another crook that has been caught in Western union fraud. the whole family are known career criminals and people have just been writing rubbish in support of them. I am waiting for news of her own case. Sahara please put in a new headline ..... "nigerian fraudsters launch new career at home after being deported from US after serving jail time". |

... Both Akabogu and Skye bank are guilty as charged. It is a known fact that banks use female prostitute to get their customers. The fact remains that she resign if she cannot meet the target as set (abi d company na im papa own?.) Again, if not a thief herself what has d bank done that she is suing for one billion Naira. Does she and her husband thinks that one billion is the same as one million. From the action of this couple, I smell a rat. I think they set a trap which d ban fell into. My fellow IBO (I before Others) people thread softly. Mr Akabogu should be wealthy enough to take care of his beautiful wife, he should set up business for her or make her a permanent housewife on salary. stop this idea of reaping from where you did not sow. How can somebody work for less than six months and d same person is expecting a whooping one bil. A beg go stay in BBA or any other show where you can make better use of you trickish talent. 2nd base jooooooooooo. |

The Nigerian Banking system is more prone to all sorts of unethical banking practices, i am sharing this experience with all concerned SR readers to know that virtually all banks do this aimless, human destructive practice called sex-hawking for fixed deposits from big men. i knew a lady in skye bank that we lost deep relationship due to the fact that she was dating almost all her subscribed bank clients who she had successfully wooed with ''Bed Sexes'' all in the name of getting clientele base hence her confirmation from contract staff to common but ordinary staff. The day she supposed to collect her confirmation letter allong with her colleaques, she was advised by a friend to quickly go to Ajose Adeogun's office (SKYE BANK )to settle her self. The lady suffered alots and i quitted the relatioship outwit. |

I was seething with anger knowing that in the states,prison time would await him so that next time he wont think of it. secondly,I wanted to wire money back to the states to my wife to help pay some bills and ZENITH bank sent me this lady,who up till today I dont know whether she is a stripper or banker. she took 3mil from me and one month after I have since come back,I am yet to recieve my money.I had to send some goons over and shockingly,we found out that this harlot never did send the money,but wanted to turn a little profit on my money with some other fraudsters. so bros you see, it is stranger than fiction to find a Mrs Akabogu in Nigeria. |

We will adopt a wait and see approach. but for now NIGERIA, we have a PULSE in Mrs Akabogu. |

The matter in court as we read it does not have any fraudulent component, but purly civil. so it is in the right place. thirdly, saharareporters is not a court or a final arbiter of case resolutions, but a tool to help sensitise the public on issues that would ordinarily not garner press time in dailies that are often times compromised. so CONCERNED NIGERIAN, help us ascertain and find out why the managers where arrested and duly inform us on your findings. that way, we can put to rest series of conjectures some very vocal dissenting commenters have commented here. we are waiting ! |

Whatever name he uses, you can easily tell it's him because of hhis very belligerent manner of writing. If he is not abusing people outrightly, he is say that others do not have good education but he forgets that the certificate with which he gained admission in the USA was forged. Anyone with commonsense would have ignored the whole negative comment but not unbridled Chidi. Meanwhile, his wife is sleeping with Emeka Nwandu & Oscar Udoji. What a fool! |

... You are given a target as a marketer and you are made to earn your pay. It is left to you as a marketer to decide whether you want to market with your head or with your "asset". Remember that all Banks have male Staff, who by the way, can not be pimped and who are performing excellently well. Most of these girls have nothing upstairs. They are marketing bank products and they don't know jack about banking. For Mrs Akabogu and her Husband, I think their actions are pre-meditated and geared towards fleecing the Bank. =N=1billion? For what? Is there any documentary evidence to show that she was pimped by the Bank? The Pictures in the story are just to weep up sympathy from the Public - A happily married Couple with a dotting Husband and a Woman who would not sell her body for lucre. Their ability to prove a case of wrong doing against the Bank in a Court of Law is another kettle of Fish. Let the Bank have its day in Court! |

... Sahara Reporters, since the case is already in Court, is this not subjudice? I don't know why Chris Uba's name is being dropped in this story if not for sensationalism. I also wonder why commenters are taking Skye Bank Plc to the cleaners after hearing a side of the story. Is it not said in one of how proverbs that it is a wicked elder that passes judgment after hearing one side of a feud? Does it not show all and sundry that Ekwunife may actually not be a good Staff of the Bank and a good colleague to the Staff of the Branch? Mrs Ekwunife, from the Story is a CANVASSER. Her JOB IS TO BRING IN DEPOSITS. Canvassers are paid Stipends and they are also re-imbursed for transport cost. They are usually not entitled to Official Cars or Computers since a Branch may have up to 20 Canvassers on its payroll. |

... well, i don't know exactly what happened but i think okwy and her akabogu husband are both thieves. marketing is all about meeting up the target given to u. u should hv known that before taking the job. no right-thinking person will tell u to sleep with someone and i believe the marketers do their meetings together so why did ur oga single u out for prostitution. is it that u are more beutiful than the other female staff? im smelling rat here. |

... I have read with irritation the comments of those who seem to have beleived every bit of this ridiculous story. It shows that we still have very gullible Nigerians who can fall prey to any latest scam by Fraudsters. There is nothing Concrete about her assertions, Everything smells fishy about this story. The girl is a scam from day one and her husband an even GREATER FRAUDSTER. It is soo unfortunate that Skye bank is the latest victim in their fraud net this time!!! But they will surely pay for all their sins. If indeed she had morals and decency, she would not shamelessly put up her name and family pictures on the world wide web, she would have silently resigned and respected her dignity.But ofcourse being the crook that she is, she immediately resigned and filed a suit for 1billion naira. OLEEE!!! BARRAWOOO!! THEIF!!! The EFCC will get pple like you ver very very soon!! |

... Well, there are always two sides to a story. For me personally, i was engrossed reading the story until i came in contact with the name of the husband. If it is the same Chidi that i know who served a jail term here in Houston for fraud cheque and had to be deported after, then he is back at his antics. It's purely driven by the logic of the stomach. Just do your investigation, especially the folks in Enugu and tell me what he is doing now. |

May God help Nigeria. It's really sad what goes on down there, so much oppression, thank God for eky's courage. |

I read in this site that you guys claim he is a 419er just because you cant get close enough to him, well you need to go to NEPA and find out hat he is one of their major contractors. so this is clear player hating from the sidelines. and by the way, did CHIMAROKEE THE MURDEROUS THIEVING GOVERNOR COME FROM AGBANI?You need to remove that junk town from ur name fool. |

As it is, it will impede investments from foreigners in our banking sector if portrayed as facts. We have no way of knowing if these allegations are true until proven. Men using beautiful women to grace business a little is a universal phenomenon. The woman is doing the right thing by taking her case to court; until she proves her allegations, we should not treat it as journalism. If I continue to get stupid comments here, I'm outta here! I don't need attention, I employ over 1000 people. |

MRS AKABOGU IS FIGHTING FOR THE MILLIONS OF WOMEN YET UNBORN WHO WILL EXPERIENCE THIS KIND OF HARRASMENT IN THEIR LIFETIME. THE PUNITVE DAMAGE OF 1 BILLION NAIRA IS TO SET A PRECEDENT THAT U CAN NOT SEXUALLY HARRAS OUR DAUGHTERS, SISTERS AND MOTHERS AND GET AWAY WITH IT. PUT YOURSELF IN MRS AKABOGUS SHOES FOR A MINUTE AND IMAGINE HOW U WOULD FEEL IF YOUR WIFE OR SISTER WAS TREATED IN A DEROGATORY MANNER. LET FAIR BE FAIR. THIS IS A GOOD DEBATE. SKYBANK WILL HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT, BUT WIN OR LOOSE, SHE HAS STARTED A DEBATE WHICH WILL CONTINUE AND FOR THAT SINGULAR ACT, I SALUTE HER AND HER HUSBAND. |

Who is fooling who? While I am sure this sort of thing happens in the Nigerian Banking industry, it is clear that this case is just plain fraud. Sahara, please get us the real cases and stop wasting our time on this 419 couple. Stories like this make me rethink my loyalty to this website.

I dont see anything the woman has to lose in a country where people hate their banks. SKYE BANK has a lot to lose. If this goes international,Skye bank is in trouble. |

... Interesting. We need to look closely at the facts of the case. We nigerians in diaspora are always quick to arms. In some quarters, Lamido Sanusi is a saint; he has cleaned the Banks of "evil people". But then people ask the question - Could he have done it in a much better way? If i owe a Bank, should i be handed over to EFCC? Is it a crime to owe? For those that have visited Nigeria in the last two months; the whole economy has shut down; you cant even get one naira to borrow from any Bank. EFCC is now having a field day going from door to door and locking people up for not repaying their loans. Is that right? Why didnt Alister darling, or Tim Geithner lock up all Bankers; because they had to follow the rule of law. |

... Mrs Akabogu i am very sorry to hear about your ordeal with skype bank and i must stress out that you took the appropriate steps searching for your rights as a nigerian citizen. Skype Bank actions towards you as a staff was very unprecidented and they should be punished for it. This issue will bring in some respect and moral support for bank staffs all over nigeria because am very very sure that there are some staffs who are in the same position as you but are scared to voice out but this matter has just opened the doors for them. Mrs Akabogu keep it up no backing down shame those devils and am quite sure other bank staffs will follow up soon. |

... I have read all the preceeding comments here and found out that with the small but very noisy opposition to this womans quest, change will be difficult to come.cause the same people who are suffering under the yoke of the kind of banking we practise in Nigeria are the same one's enlisted by the bank to question the womans noble intentions.and these people all have mandates that they must bring in all manners of unheard of targets with no bonuses as done in saner limes.it is sooo sad that we live in a country where former bank MD'S are been arrested for fraud on unsuspecting shareholders, and yet these mentaly retarded bank employees still think we are stupid to come to a very credible site like SR to cast aspersions on the very woman that their criminality almost destroyed. only in Nigeria! But I believe she will get what the bank owes her! change gon come ! |

... ECLUB, please upload your pix. My ribs cracked from laughing from the attacks you got on your comment. Jokes apart. She and her husband knew or should have known that marketing jobs in Nigerian banks are not for married women. When a bank gives a 24 yrs old girl a plush Lekki apartment, a car, a driver, allowance for cook, gardner etc--- How do you think the bank is going to recoup its investment? Did she and her husband set out to sanitize the "mad system'? Did she meet Chris Uba (desired Bank's target). I think this story would have been sweeter than honey if it elevated to her meeting Chris Uba (ESelu Nenu Ego). This way she can join Uba in the lawsuit and distract his attention from the upcoming Anambra Guber elections. I'm not making lite of her plight, but something is missing regarding her motive. |

... @emeka(uk)bros pls collect the refund for your ticket to london.it looks like you not learned anything abroad.In UK,the law provides for "EXAMPLARY DAMAGES"and we adopted that in or jurisprudence,in the US,"PUNITIVE DAMAGES"as relates to tort law.it is meant as a deterent for future rigts violation.secondly,you did not read the originating writ of summons in vanguard of 15th oct,2009 page 44 wherein plaintiff akabogu raised very disturbing fraudulent practices that the CBN and EFCC are investigating and will summon the bank chiefs any moment from now.thirdly,the defamation of character aspect which splits the examplary damage with the prostitution aspect with prostitution 800mil and defamation 200mil is a must read.In law, you throw in the kitchen sink and if Mrs Akabogu cause SKYE BANK to employ the services of big lawyers and end up spending 200mil to defend itself, then she is already a winner and they have lost. |

... The story was attracting some sympathy until I saw that Mrs Akabogu was suing for N1,000,000,000 (N1billion). I can only say such claim is completely laughable & ludicrous. What a greedy lot! Everybody knows how Banks operate in Nigeria, in terms of using female staff to lure moneybags, of which, if she didn't know; she ought to have made her enquiries before venturing into such life of debauchery. Could Mrs Akabogu claim to be totally unaware of this? Anyway, we've only read her version, which, in my view, sounds like a pig's dinner. She might have a case of constructive dismissal but surely, Skye Bank must have a different version. Let's watch this space. |

... @female banker, if you ever went to school and can actually defend your degree as I can remember, soludo said that 90% of you guys are unemployable your neive behind would know what exemplary damage is.its different from actual damage. exemplary damage is when a court sanction a party to the point where the court will set an example so that the practise will end. but of cause you guys are in the wrong business.I dont see how Mrs Akabogu is giving you a bad name, rather she is helping highlight what every nigerian already know is happening. please in very concise clear term, can you please tell us conquered people what the loopholes you talk about are? and dont burn your finger in the process. you as a woman should be terribly ashamed of yourself for claiming hardwork. what does your had work entail? write in just 150 words |

We all are adults, and have our priniciples, we all know and undersatand that the bank has set performance objectives for us to meet, and at no time have they requested that meeting these objectives must be done in unstraight ways. There are so many loopholes in the story and your sueing the bank for 1bn naira, is making your case look very silly and like you have an alterior motive. I think everyone making comments should calm down and hear both sides |

I suggest you read the vanguard of 15th oct,2009 page 44. that way you will know what this case is all about. come back here when you are done. |

I wonder how far 40k would go on gasoline.I know the woman pronto. she is and was the best dressed and the only diamond in the ruff at the bank. the husband can comfortably pay her your own salary just to stay home. you guys need to do more research on this woman and you will know you really have a mess in your hands.the politician dont have anything to do with it .its you fools that wanted to pimp her so dont condesend |

I just need her to go somewhere and come back.that woman and her childrens picture show that they are probably on a holiday somewhere, I am sure she didn't get there on the 40k skye bank pays her. |

... The only verifiable truth in this story is that bank's engage contract staff to grow savings account. this as bad as it sounds reduce unemployment in the country. the banks cannot afford to hire direct permanent staff as much as they need because of the high cost of operation in Nigeria including the high cost of funds. The prostitution part of the story is fabrication powered by greed for money and compensation. The politician in question is handsome and extremely rich and very married. No bank manager in his right senses can even conceive trapping this guy with a married and unemployed 'banker' like Mrs Akabogu. I am disappointed that Saharareporters will touch stuff like this - please leave stories like this to the evening times! |

I dont care if the husband is andooka, it does not give the bank any right to do to her what they did to her. and a good source even told me that one of the managers involved was actually a former employee of FINBANK who was fired by that bank only to resurface at Skye bank. talk of a bank not covering their bases. this trial will be very interesting.

I have been mediating for them to get back together,but it is more difficult for the lady to leave the job as my friend is demanding. |

Lets stand up for what is right; if the woman failed to meet her targets, she should resign honourably rather than start mudslinging.

Maybe we all should boycott Skypebank and this will send a clear msg to them and other banks involved in this attrocities. i salute her bravery to come out and say this, i'm shocked married women are involved in these dirty games, look at the level of disrespect they are given to a married woman, i commend her for not giving one the managers a slap. i think she should speak to lawyers like femi falana. |

Right thinking Nigerians have better things to worry about- grassroot development, free and fair elections,independent judiciary, infrasructural development, employment creation,safety of lives and property,.... name them and not your 'self centered' story. I guess you and your husband may have thought this as an opportunity to make big and quick wealth. Who ill advised you? Maybe your 'greedy' lawyer of course! SKYE BANK WILL SURELY SUE YOU FOR LIBEL, SLANDER, etc and I hope by then, you will bury your head in shame. The bank will for sure have the last laugh no matter who you think you are or know in the corridors of power. ALWAYS THINK DEEP BEFORE YOU ACT! |

It is a common practice among banks to use their female workers in the sales dept. for the banks own good even when they know the women are married or the bank managers are even friends or knows the husband of the women in question.Some women fall for it due to the fact that they donot want to lose their job and the benefits that goes along with it ,may be promotion and they even get money from the clients too.This is not a new practice.Nigerians should wake up and call a spade a spade.Nija na waooooh. |

By the way, what else did you expect from a morally bankrupt,corrupt,selfish and God-defying society?

No matter what bad thing the bank asked her to do, she agreed to do it because she continued to work there. Then she did not perform as her contract required and quit. Now she has all these contrived little stories to rubbish the bank. Abeg make I hear word jare. Although it is hard to feel sorry for a bank but the court will throw the case out. She was only a contractor and not an employee of the bank. Don't abuse my senses with this story abeg. |

No Bank; Skye Bank especially request that its staff should go out and sell their body. 3. Mrs Akabogu should provide specific evidence of where she was asked to compromise on her morals. 4. She was obviously recruited on the basis of her contacts with some top-shot in Nigeria; and obviously was expected that she uses her links to get business 5. Or are we saying that a Bank PHB for example did not utilize their Yaradua link? Or If your brother, uncle, father is the President and you happen to work in bank, wont you ask him to support your business. I think we all should not be hoodwinked by this woman and her claims |

Did she drop his name in the cause of her interview before being employed or do they ask every lady employed about their acquintance with Chris Ubah. There is more to this story as she's not telling the whole truth. In any case, why make Uba the subject of the story when his name proped up in the very small part of the whole story?. Trust me by looking at the ladies face, the day she will go and fuckk with Chris Uba the husband will not know. |

Nigeria is a rotten egg, so smelly that the waste disposal guys would find it hard to get rid off. The system is in shambles from the top to the bottom. Our leigislatures are there for what wealth they can capture and not coming up with laws that will lead the citizenry to a better Nation. Judiciary is not left out and we need not talk of the Executive arm of our government under Yaraduas. I will counsel that you watch your back seriously as they will like to silence you and keep thriving in illegality so much legitimized under Yaradua-Aandooka-Mark-Bankole and the members of the press is not left as hardly this kind of report will appear on the pages of regular tabloid because no brown envelope will come with it. GREAT thanks to SR for salvaging their image a little bit. God help us!.  |

Banking in Nigeria is in the hands of non- professionals who are driven by desires to make profit at all cost even at the point of ignoring the ethics of the profession. what about contract staffing in the banking system. This area stink also. Sahara should investigate this modern day slavery. |

Performance by what ever standard the bank has et is their prerogative, she didn't meet it and decides to quit period. Does that bank look like a church. Ok, how will her salary be paid; through the proceeds of other people's prostitution? Call me Akinfenwa if you like but any right thinking person knows that this tory lacks merit.She & the husband look like low life attention seeking chickens prowling the entire landscape.Pls spare us this un-intelligent home video shot at Zodiac in Enugu. |

It is your kind of people that make it difficult to challenge corruption in Nigeria. You rationalise and condone anything. Your education is rubish if you believe she has no right to complain against what she suffered just because it is not her father's bank! Even if she is greedy for asking for 1 billion it is immaterial here! |

... There is no news here except for those who are just learning about Nigeria. The banking industry trives on corruption and as such nothing here is in anyway strange. The culture of corporate prostitution in the banking sector as some have called it here is unfortunately part of the mordern banking industry in Nigeria, but may not be one of the worst things happening in Nigeria. The truth is that this lady cannot honestly be surprised at what she experienced, but that cannot of course justify it. The solution probably lies in the overall solution of the fundamental problems of Nigeria. Armed robbery and kidnapping for guys and prostitution for ladies- what can young graduates who have no godfather and no one do to survive in Nigeria today? |

Our culture is alien to the present practice. No pain no Gain. For quitting her job at this time of Economic recession Mrs. Akabogu should be encouraged to go the full length and the Husband should be commended for supporting her in this fight. NGOs, NHRC and the entire populace should continue to keep this issue in the front burner so that other banks can change tactics immediately before they are exposed too. Another important issue is that of female employees and pregnancy? Is it wrong for a married woman to procreate? |

... Both Akabogu and Skye bank are guilty as charged. It is a known fact that banks use female prostitute to get their customers. The fact remains that she resign if she cannot meet the target as set (abi d company na im papa own?.) Again, if not a thief herself what has d bank done that she is suing for one billion Naira. Does she and her husband thinks that one billion is the same as one million. From the action of this couple, I smell a rat. I think they set a trap which d ban fell into. My fellow IBO (I before Others) people thread softly. Mr Akabogu should be wealthy enough to take care of his beautiful wife, he should set up business for her or make her a permanent housewife on salary. stop this idea of reaping from where you did not sow. How can somebody work for less than six months and d same person is expecting a whooping one bil. A beg go stay in BBA or any other show where you can make better use of you trickish talent. 2nd base jooooooooooo. |

... Well, this should not surpirse any body. The practice of our lazy banks in Nigeria has been to cause young women to do prostitution in the name of soliciting for funds. Yet, if one wants to get a loan, it is a tug of war; you are aksed to bring ur late great grand father's head. Banks all around the world do not engage in this kind of activity. Painful part is when these girls bring in the money after sleeping with all sorts of characters, the bank MD's either purchase private jets, live luxury lives or end up embezzling same funds. What a vicious circle. CBN should ban this thing the banks call marketing |

Now, it's back to square one, she's back home!I know these greedy crop of young women that leave their boyfriend and marry a rich man. They simply want everything good thing and are ready to do nothing. Again, she's at the "husbands" neck, dragging him to court, to write to SR and needing to be f**ked as a pornstar!

... Wonderfully and wrongfully Skye Bank was among the banks given a clean bill of health by CBN. This is a bank perhaps in the Wisdom of its MD,Akinfemi has refused to pay all the Cooperative Bank Staff who he, out of personal disdain and vendetta, relieved of their job after the merger. Their gratuity and all other remuneration has been held till date with daily unfulfilled promises to pay. For Nigeria to have any headway of any kind, searchlight of corruption must be directed at the bank. There is no yet an end in the offing for socio-economic and political salvation until this is done. |

... SR, thanks for this story. As for we readers, I think we should look for creative ways to contribute our share to better our beloved country. I would suggest that we should try to spread this story and suggest that anybody who stands against the ills in the Nigerian banking sector and holds an account with Skye bank, notwithstanding how small the account balance may be, should close the account and move to another bank. Imagine if 20,000 Nigerians each with 1000 naira in this bank decide to close their accounts, it would translate into the bank loosing 20 million naira, and even much more from the loss of other fees they usually charge |

Please let them know the reason why you're closing your account/s. If they hear from enough of us, it might encourage them to do the right thing. (Maybe even give this woman her job back). |

CBN must find a way to sanction any bank that engages in this practice before our banks are finally turned into modern brothels. May God save this country. |

... Ethics and morals have no place in modern Nigeria. I am NOT proud of the rotten country at all. I worked with one of the new generation banks for 4 years prior to leaving Nigeria. It is the same story, forcing colleagues to resign if they cannot meet targets. Infact, I know for sure then, that several ladies pimp men in order to move deposits. I think this bank must be shown as a scape goat to serve as a deterrent for other operators in the industry. But my mind tells me that, the Nigerian high courts, being kangaroo courts, may not serve justice in this case. Again, this is one of the several scenarios confirming that Nigeria is in its twilight years. |

... This same issue of compelling female bankers to engage in prostitution in order to meet unrealsitic targets was debated on the floor of the House of Reps just 2 days back:Oct 14th, led by Hon Femi Gbajabiamila. The earlier this immoral practice is stopped, the better. Truth is no durable banking enterprise can be built on such faulty foundation. To think that this is the same banking sector that is supposed to be a principal driver of the nation's economy that this unethical practices are going on leave much to be desired. It simply reinforces the concept that anything that cannot happen in Nigeria cannot happen in any other country. |

... How can we achieve a better Nigeria when people are encouraged to get money by all means even if to steal and thereafter confidently come to the bank to deposit such money with little or insufficient ID. In contrast to other developed countries, banks are the brain power of the country giving out loans to small scale businesses, supporting industries and even investing in bio-fuel technology. People are not being asked to bring their hard earned money to bank but being encouraged and wooed to bring their stolen wealth/money hidden and stocked at home to the banks. |
