Worked under Lebanese and Indians (terrible human beings!). Though There are very few good ones among them (very few, i said) (one out of 150). Théy illegally bring their illiterate brothers, place them ahead of u while u teach them English and on-the-job-training. This happens mostly when they discover that u don't know your right and that is one of thé reasons they go for cheap labour, but are scared of d wise ones; rather they fake friendship with thèm (d wise) in order to achieve their aim. Thé worst is that our regulatory bodies are not helping matters, instead they prefer to reach an agreement of monthly payment/allowance from them and disgracefully dance to their tune. Qualified undergraduate applicants will be wasting their little resources sending applications, coming and calling for reply. Meanwhile thèse officials will be bringing their wards & g/friends through thé back door every now and then. An official document that u have been battling going through processes for months to get, will fly down in a well-packaged envelope to them (with thank you sir) after a minute call. Our girls are another set of disgrâce to us before thèse people (topic 4 another day).
We need a génération of sane & conscientised minds to tackle thèse things. My prayer everday!

I remember when i just finished secondary school, I really wanted to work. I got a job at one hair attachnent factory，I was happy when I was posted to a section where the cut papers, those cardboards that has the female models, they told me my job discriptions, part of it was to carry cardboard, easy abi? mehn, before i could carry the whole cardboard to the machine, like three bar don miss from my life span. It was then I looked around, the guys on the job are hefty guys, the machine started looking as if it eould cut my hand. Na so I just step out as if I want to ease my self, I washed my face and the next place I found my self was home, yh, I just resigned under 30mins, I know Im lazy, thank you.

Onechancearmy:


Dis ya moniker sef But on a more serious note why can't these workers unionise? No employer can stop his workers from forming unions to protect their rights. It's enshrined in Nigeria's constitution.

ikp120:

Bro why did you say so?

Onegai:
Stop waiting for NLC to fight for you. Nothing stops you guys from organising a protest. You will be surprised at the outcome. Don't march against one particular company, organise 1000 people here to show up on a particular day to protest poor working conditions in general. Blogs will cover the story, at least one news crew will show up. Make it a general complaint but mention no names of any company: poor working conditions, no overtime pay, salary deductions and mention how foreigners seem to doing it the most. All you need is a few of you to organise everyone else and give the interviews. Do you know how many journalists are looking for stories to sell to international news sites? That is how to become a Labour leader. You really think NPF will show up against a huge crowd somewhere in Lagos and be shooting you guys? Govt leaders will stylishly try and join your protest to advance their agenda, they are looking to scoring populist votes. This means your safety is assured. Unlike religious and secessation protests.

Use the tools you have to do more than insult the govt ineffectually and talking about celebrities.

Exactly what am feeling and going through right now, its as if this thread is meant for me, right now I feel like resigning with immediate effect.
I am d only worker that sits from morning till evening without resting a bit, Mondays to Saturdays, yet the only way Director can pay you back is to rubbish your hardwork and jeopardized your efforts.
I have cried my eyes out several times yet nothing can be done than to resign, I am tired!!

I would have love to resign but I stays in Staff Quarters in which our rents are being deducts from our salaries. If I should resign now, I will have to evacuate the house and my rent will due by March.
Pls what do I do to ease this pain and have happiness?

@Muafrika2,
This happened in Nigeria or Kenya ?

Berrypie:
This is what the Country has caused. I have heard so much about these Lebanese employers taking advantage of Nigerians. What is the job of the NLC if I may ask?

Muafrika2:

Never resign without another job to go to. It's easier to find one while still working.

Exactly my thoughts, why are people so scared in this country, we need to enforce change, cowards everywhere

posh8701:
You know why the Nigerian managers enslave people? such companies have very wicked strategies, they pay a few top executives well with better conditions of service and use them to enslave the others.
