“I resigned after 3 months…” – Ex-worker calls out Moniepoint CEO following talent caims

An ex-worker has publicly called out the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda, following comments suggesting that Nigerian professionals are not meeting global talent standards.

The reaction comes after the CEO revealed that the company is struggling to fill hundreds of job vacancies due to a shortage of qualified candidates in the country.

Ex-Worker Shares Personal Experience

The former worker, identified as @MrOlibaba on X (formerly Twitter), claimed he worked at Moniepoint for three months before resigning, stating that his experience did not reflect the company’s public image.

“I did three months with Moniepoint and resigned… I resigned and I’m not proud enough to have it on my CV,” he wrote.

He further criticised what he described as weak employee welfare, saying the company’s internal environment does not match its public reputation.

“Moniepoint employee relations and welfare doesn’t equate the hype they move with,” he added.

Questions on Hiring and Recruitment Process

The ex-worker also raised concerns about Moniepoint’s recruitment system, questioning its consistency and efficiency.

He compared the company to commercial banks, arguing that traditional banks continue to recruit regularly without raising concerns about talent shortages.

He stated: “Is Moniepoint any better than commercial banks that recruit year in year out? None have complained of inexperienced workforce.”

He also alleged inconsistencies in the hiring process, claiming a friend was rejected after a third-stage interview but later received another invitation for the same stage.

“A friend was rejected after doing the third stage interview with Moniepoint, one week later they sent him a mail inviting him for the same interview they rejected him at third stage. Such a disorganized hiring process,” he said.

Debate Over Talent and Work Culture

The comments have added to ongoing discussions triggered by Eniolorunda’s remarks about Nigeria’s talent gap and the difficulty of finding professionals who meet global standards.
