Clearly corruption stinks in Nigeria including our corporate world. I got wind recently of a non-conformer who was persecuted for not giving in to corruption. This concerns a certain medical sales representative in Lagos working for an indigenous local pharmaceutical company (names withheld) whose popular products include Artesunate and Vitamin c Glucose which you might know very well.

Sales reps are usually hired to market and sell their medicines to hospitals and pharmacies. Sales reps are allowed to sell above company selling price and keep whatever profits they make on the field as an incentive to them since they are generally poorly paid. But what I hear as a pharmacy owner is that this sales reps are usually mandated to give kickbacks (part of their personal profits) aka bribe to their direct supervisors or managers so as to retain their jobs and get more goods to sell so as to meet up with very high and ridiculous targets. This is usually a conspiracy or a corrupt scheme in most indigenous pharmaceutical companies which is known only to the reps and their managers excluding the most senior managers and MD.

Most reps do comply as far as I know so as to save their jobs and meet targets. But what annoys me is when it is made compulsory for them and those who don't comply are usually frustrated out of the company or blackmailed most times they are sacked unjustly and replaced without the knowledge or consent of the MD. This happens very often and has been in place in so many companies for years now. This recently happened to a pharmacist friend of mine. And I begin to ask if NLC or the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria or NAFDAC is not aware of all this schemes or if they are aware but they choose not to act or investigate it. It beats me seriously.

Please my good people of NL, your advice or inputs are needed here.

These corrupt schemes must stop. Its unprofessional and unethical.

Pls MOD pls front page pls I beg u.thanks

Why withholding the names?

This is where corruption starts from... If you know you want to be part of those putting an end to corruption, you need to declare the one[s] involved so they can marvel at how the information got out and then make sure that they don't do such inhuman corrupt act again...

Doing that, things will begin to turn a new leaf.

Okay, I'm suprised to hear this. Especially the part where sales Rep. are allowed to sell drugs above company price and keep the difference. That is an unethical practice most of the prestigious pharmaceutical companies would sack a sales Rep. of they found out he did something like that. They even separate the order generator from the supplier to prevent stuff like this from happening.

xarxes: noted my broda

So can you now edit your post stating those involved? The case of the lady and that perverted pastor should tell you what identity disclosure can do...

She should face the consequences, how on earth can u live in this nation without bribe, what was she thinking when refusing to return bribe, does she wanna chop alone? Good for her

o ga o....corruption is everywhere...may GOD av mercy on ds nation

Drop me i have cum to d bus stop.

Had you really wanted to expose corruption, you wouldn't have withheld the name of the company.

@the bolded, what you are doing as far as am concerned, is gossiping. Why are you withholding the name of the company? You are definitely one of the corruption laden individual we are trying to fight in this country. Give us the name of the company and the manager involved and we will begin to take you serious. Thank you

The OP is as corrupt as the supervisors...!!!

The OP is probably hoping on a bribe, before im jabo the names...

I think that corruption exists in U too @OP. Withhold the name of culprit and U think U r better off. The reason why nobody talks is cus even the managers pay their "tax"(bribe) to superior. So as U can see, its a welcomed development-try not to be greedy like Ur friend and pay Urs if demanded or as U already do.

Unveil their identities. Do not cover corruption

All of you screaming should calm down. 1. this is not the OP 's story, how do you know of he's gotten his friend's permission to go public? This is what happens when people come to nairaland to rant without thinking things through.

i advice she shuld leave does involve to God to judge, nemesis will catch up wit dem someday. you are payin someone peanut and u still xpect bribe? i mean, its inhuman

If this is happening, there is no way the MD and Senior Managers would not know.

They cannot be that detached from their strategic front line. If it is the norm as you described, then they must be condoning it. It has nothing to do with Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria or NAFDAC.

Then it is best not to be discussing it at all.

When will corruption end in this country

That's exactly the point I was trying to make. The op probably heard the story from his Friend and decided to come and rant on nairaland. Is he even sure the friend gave him the full story? Are we even sure he knows the name of the company in question?

xarxes: my dear u won't understand its not ur industry u keep ranting

lmfao. Now I'm walking of this thread because you've proven what I suspected. Next time get the full gist before you come to nairaland to post. rant.
