    Nigerian singer Mayorkun openly described his time working as a bank accountant as “aggravating,” saying that he was reduced to the position of an errand boy while there.

    In a recent interview on the Tea With Tay Podcast, the artist delved into his 9-5 work experience, responding to the host’s curiosity about what it was like for him.

    Mayorkun shared that, despite holding a degree in accounting, he took a job at a bank while pursuing music on the side. To his dismay, the reality of the banking job did not align with his expectations, and he found himself performing tasks that were far from what he had envisioned.

    He began, “At a point, I thought I was going to have a career in banking. I was doing the ACCA to get certified in the UK, just in case my music did not work out. I had an interview at the bank, and I passed the interview. I had a face-to-face interview, and I was interviewed by the bank manager or something in the banking hall; he just dey fire me questions sha. I passed it, but I thought I was getting a mad job, worked as a banker for a year.”


    It turned out that his banking experience was no different from that of an errand boy at his workplace. He stated that he was sent to buy things for the other staff because he was an entry-level staff member, and this greatly aggravated him, especially because his career in music had not taken off at the time.

    “This bank work, I did not even have a table and a chair, like if we rank the workers, I was right above the helps. The one time someone told me to buy amala, I just started rethinking my life. I have this friend named Emma, we used to work in the bank together; he’s a witness to this. I’d be so angry when I get back from the bank that I’d be crying and writing songs out of anger; it was like I needed therapy at that time,” he added.

    Fortunately, Mayorkun’s big break came in 2016 when he was discovered by global superstar Davido, who quickly signed him to his record company.
