jaelz:my guy, this is not right. you are a graduate, you've endured their mess. by right, all corp members are to resume by 8 and close by 4, any job outside that is overtime and you must be paid. also, going for your CDS is very much mandatory. I suggest you call your Lagos NYSC secretariat for quick response on 08074067007. They will quickly do something, I'm very sure. A Corp has every right like a junior or temporary staff. I will also suggest you get a lawyer if you are not comfortable. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dear friend..... you are advised to be careful because it's just for few months more, if you inform NYSC, you'd be considered as being lazy. NYSC scheme wants maximum usage of Corps member's hours. TRY TO ENDURE FOR THE TIME BEING. serve under the sun or in the rain. God bless you. |

This is the same fate I am facing presently at my own PPA which is a private school, though in my case, they pay very well and the money enter my eyes but at this juncture, I dont care abt the money anymore. U work 7-5 and u are not allowed to go outside d schl til u close like a prison, the proprietress abuse their staffs verbally, psychologically and emotionally. Virtually no day a staff wont shed tears and I am not exaggerating. She pays very well and on time too but mehn! I cant take it anymore. I have reported to my LI and he s saying there s no more reposting but I wont rest till I get reposted. I cannot fit comman die for NYSC so my fellow corp member, to ur LG str8! 2 Likes |

In the 'ABC' of CDS,it is specifically stated that during CDS days corps members are expected to be in their respective CDS group putting work to projects, and not expected to be in their respective PPA. Please,take the matter to your LGI or ZI who will be in a better position to explain to them. Don't let them overwork you. Enjoy your service! |

@jaelz, yours is a small encounter to what I experienced. As for the working hours and all, you can't do anything about it except u want to change your PPA. As for the CDS day, nobody, I repeat nobody has any right to stop your CDS day regardless of asking u to come back. It's a free day for Corp Members. Know your right and work along with it. Approach ur LGI, if he doesn't react, move to ur ZI, and if they appear bribed, kindly draft a letter to the StateState Coordinator. I been there and I experienced worse. The topic is here on NL years ago. Note: This move is not for the chicken hearted and also all the Corp Members in that firm should come together and fight this. It's a collective effort. |

Mariojane:Yes o, this is not the fault of the company, in this 21 century globalization where most people in other countries are working while others are sleeping, those that can produce 24 hours or almost will carry the day But in almost all developed countries companies will always not want to pay you well. That's where the government comes in to protect the workers, but if the government is not even supporting infrastructures to make businesses maximize profit then the employees will suffer. In Nigeria's strange situation where employees are so reluctant to come out in mass and say enough is enough. They should stop demonizing employers. The national cake is at Abuja , not VI and their likes. |

Re: Having Problems At My Place Of PPA Please I Need Advice by Mariojane(f): 3:05pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
blueseacats:but who will lead the protest for the employees? employers threatened you with the job saying "if you do not do it, others will do even for lower amount". that is my boss anthem for our junior staff. i do tell some of my colleague that if one or two persons start a protest i will gladly join in. it is so unfair. |

Welcome to Lagos where you work your butt off. Something tells me the coy pays well that's why the O.P is unwilling to do something.. Report the situation to your L.I or endure till September. it's just 5months away. |
Re: Having Problems At My Place Of PPA Please I Need Advice by Nobody: 3:39pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Mariojane:Nne you better keep your job and don't join in any protest, the only protest worth joining is the one at Abuja, let me give you example, I have a friend who just opened a canteen in a local area, he wanted me to consult for him, so in my free time I always go there to look around and see if there is any contribution I can make. One evening during rush hour all his three generators packed up and people were demanding cold drinks, he was so frustrated as nepa has not restored light for over a week, just as I was telling him we need to go get as much ice blocks as possible, his two staffs came in and said they have closed for the day, if the driver and one the sales girl is closing for the day whose going to buy ice blocks, I asked him not to let them go yet until they get the ice blocks, but he said it's their closing time so they can go, he did not know it but I realized that most costumers especially the beer drinkers did not drink more than a bottle each, these are people that could have otherwise taken 4 bottle each if the drinks were cold, now those are lost revenue. The next day I called him to the side and reminded him why he wanted me as a consultant. 'If you are going to be losing revenues then you are making incompetent as your consultant 'after that day I advised him that his workers should not have a specific closing hour since nepa can withdraw their power anytime and fuel can decide to be scarce anytime. Today he's still in business, paying staffs and paying them well, he's even working on opening another one. The moral of my story is that Nigeria is not private business friendly, from getting bank loans to known existing infrastructure, and it's the fault of the politicians. You want to fight? Fight them and leave business men alone . "Who will bell the cat" we youths, but unfortunately we are too scared to die. |

OLUWOLEYINKA:Exactly , the guy is talking like a slave who's legs are tied , Its youth service ,you do whatever you like, nobody can kill you or arrest you , you're only answerable to your local government. Oh I so enjoyed my service year to the fullest , although I served in state secretariat dunno about secondary school folks. But something isnt right here , the guy should please tell us how much he's being paid cos I'm sure no company will set such strict rules without paying a price, and he should also tell us if he influenced his service posting to the firm(something I'm sure of) or nysc posted him there,cos there's no smoke without fire. And why are people complaining of 8-6 work hours ? I bet majority of you are unemployed. Its a private company and i'm sure folks who've worked in lagos private firms aint new to such systems, you either agree to terms or take your leave and do a reposting to another ppa. |

jaelz: You are technically a federal government child. They are not allowed to prevent you from having going for CD because that is a compulsory activity from NYSC. Do you know that you can have some extra months to redo if you continue to miss your CD and your card is not signed. |

The OP is being treated like a staff. Its obvious that he is well paid and is only complaining because of the decline in his social life. The only thing i wont accept is the fact that his PPA is preventing him from attending CDS ( a private firm has little or no regards for CDS) If the OP isnt comfortable with the situation, he can talk to his LI so he can be reposted to a place with much freedom. 1 Like |

my dear, some times, we cant really explain why we go through certain things in life... but i tell you that it all goes to form and make us who we are (positive or negative), it all depends on our approach to it. my candid advixce is for you to just comply... you have less than 8months to go... who knows if it is part of their criteria to retain corpers after service.. personally, i dont see such rules as too much to bear....
