It is no more a news that the Chinese companies in Nigeria are indirectly enslaving nigerians but I am wondering why the federal government of Nigeria has kept mute to this barbaric acts of these people. I shall carefully pin points some of their misdeeds maybe the appropriates bodies could read and come to the aids of nigerians.
SALARY SCALES... I want to use China civil engineering construction cooperation (Ccecc ) as an example.
Labours- between.#15000 and #21000
workmen_ between #27000 and #31000
STAFF- between #45000 and #50000

WORKING PERIODS- 7.30am-6.00PM @30 days that means no rest days.
PENALTIES... penalties for offense committed could range between #5000-#20000 and could be deducted once from your salary.
JOB SECURITY- insecured.
Apart from salaries paid, no extensive employee packages. No health insurance, no paid time off from work, no retirement plans for workers, workers are fired at will, what pains me most is a Chinese man beating up a Nigerian because of a slight offense. Sometimes a whole salary could be seized just because of an offense. Why, why, why, these Chinese men are highly respected in Nigeria yet nigerians are enslaved home and abroad. The labour unions will come and do investigations but nothing happens thereafter. LAMATA pretends as if they hear or know nothing hmmmm. Can nigerians go to other countries and allowed to act this way?

Moderator pls can u kindly move this topic to the front page. Tanx

Because even our Leaders are maltreating us, there are no acts in place that covers those people.

thurder fire them...

The Nigerian government & Nigerians are the 1st molesters! The FG has failed to develop & protect Nigerians. The Companies Act on employers rights is dead!

2nd Bullet
Workers do not v the right to complain about salary or wages when they are employed. They v the opportunity of negotiating before employment. The only complain or question they can raise is when there's a clause for increment. So... in my opinion, those labourers taking N15,000, N20,000, N30,000 etc took up the job because they agreed with their employers.

3rd Bullet
People should learn how to fight for themselves by seeking Human Rights Commission offices in their State. Any employee that's maltreated should run to them. They are helpful if well seeked.
They should also ask questions from their employers like clauses in their contract or employment, if there's going to be pay rise at a particular time or a pay rise for extra service. Any job that is not worth doing from the start is not worth doing till one is sacked or resigned!

Last Bullet
It's a pity Chinese, Indians, Lebanese & other Asian companies v taken advantage of Nigerian government's laxity in protecting her citizens.
I can mention names of companies in Lagos & other parts of Nigeria that enslave their staff. Tech-Mahindra, Mikano Generator, Jubaili Bros, most of those Asian companies in Ikorodu & other parts of Lagos State. They practice modern slavery?
When your government, Nigerians also enslave you, you are at everyone's mercy.

they are maltreat nigerians because they see us maltreat and enslave ourselves. Because they know we have government dat doesnt give a heck abt the welfare of their citizens. And Some people here are blamin the people working in those companies...i think going through these maltreatments is better than not been able to provide for ur family. That is the worst thing that can happen to a MAN.

pls don't blame the workers, the Nigerian government has refused to create jobs. If there are job opportunities in this nobody will take up their jobs. Even the so called human rights will they work for free?

Guyz what are your suggestions and ways to curb this menace

I wanted to create a thread like this too o,but the Op was faster,lol.
I had my experience too,i didn't know CwAY group is a chinese company till i went there for an interview as a QCO and guess what? I was told i would be payed 16k,the breakdown was so hilarious and to think that the so called HR(a chinese) couldn't differientiate btw Diploma and B.Sc is beyond me! It's a pity our Federal Govt has sold us out,when i got out of the gate,i concluded that we are still being colonized,we just won't accept that!

They know they can maltreat Nigerians without repercussions, one even aborted pregnancy by beating up a pregnant employee.....

Na wetin you call your name people will address you

...bad governance, Corruption... No standard....

...

#yawns...

Am trying to sleep biko!

give them small ebola

Chinko?? Beat me?? Walahi, if he touches me, I will break him into two with my eyes closed. He can keep his salary.

Our faulty labour law,and the wrong notion of believing all white people are god,and the nonchalant attitude of our enforcement agencies towards reported case involving the chinkos..what foreigners dare not do in the stup1d country,the do it here,and get away.

Chinese men call me 'Sir'.
Don't have anything else to say.

Hmmmm

i dnt blame dem i blame our corrupt leaders who dnt know any oder tin dan looting d country's money 4 dere own selfish intrest nd nt cearing abt d masses if nt hw would sum1 frm another country cm to ur own country and b maltreating u in ur own country insult any wy most Nigerians dnt even knw dere rights diz iz what an American man would never tolerate in hiz country

Because we don't have functional brains

Simple.

Nigerians have refused to up their own shyt so someone else will up it for you.

That's basically how they treat chinese workers in china too. Both countries (naija and china) have similar labour structures. The supply of labour is inelastic in both countries while the demand is a bit scarce. The same can be said of the indians and filipinos.

2 bad

.

well because you people worship the coloured skins,you all are as guilty as the government,my question would you people have taken it from a Nigerian company,so because it a coloured company you people take it and turn to blame government,abeg i have no simparty for you people,you people are still mental slaves
