greedy ass workers. Contract staff should understand that they ain't workers. The company is not obliged to grant dem the benefits dey do the staff. That's why they have contract staff in d first place.

Anyway RIP to the dead

Pls help me tell them... People just don't know their place.

RIP to the chi workers. But they should be aware they are contract staffs and not entitled to some benefits like a full-time staff. And trying to steal company products cos you feel you deserve 'em is just wrong plus assaulting a police officer with caustic soda?? Smh! Oh well.

Origin:



One idiot who is definitely not a contract staff developed the contract staff scheme. Which is same or more work without any rights. Less pay, no overtime nothing.
Banks, oil companies ,manufacturing companies- all of them companies that can afford to pay employee benefits choose this scheme so as to declare more profits. Though the profits still go to paying executives bonuses.

It's a form of modern day slavery and this is why senate has to review the Nigerian Labor Law. Maybe these companies are lobbying the Senate who knows.

At the end of the day when the only jobs left for Nigerians are contract jobs you might decide to fight then.



I strongly agree with your point, they have developed their own tactics to ensure that Nigerian workers are kept in permanent slavery and nobody is investigating this, as our Government has failed us in all facet of life.The Nigerian labor law stipulates that you can not spend more than three years as a casual worker before being converted to a full staff but from my personal research there are many productions firms in Nigeria where you have workers in casual position for more than 20 years. I can give you example if you care, the gimmick is this, every three month you are fired and compelled to reapply without stopping your work routine in their plant, this is only meant for paper documentation. They only tried this in Africa, our leaders are men of wasted generations, they make and implement self serving policy in their own selfish interest, keeping slots for their children in secondary school when many graduates are roaming the street.See it is better to be without any leader than the wicked ones we have.
Why don't expatriates too have contract jobs in Nigeria? SLAVERY.

You are saying this because you are a beneficiary and not the culprit or better still you are still been fed by your parents, uncle or aunt somewhere and so you never know what it takes to make money.

Check any where, contract staff have separate working conditions from the full time staff, even the company law guiding their employment is different. It's okay to protest if you feel your right is trampled on, but always keep it peaceful and within limits. The protest has been going on and off since about October, it got so bad at a time staff were locked in the premise for hours because these protesters were getting violent and if you stay or work around there, you'll know that an armored tank has been positioned around the company for some time now, and I don't think Chi compared to any Nigerian company I know is bad with staff welfare. In my opinion, the company did what was best for them in the situation. The Nigerian police could have gone a bit subtle at least, the protesters weren't armed, tear gas should have sufficed. May the dead rest in peace.

Kolababe:
A report has been making the rounds alleging that two casual workers with Indian company, Chi Limited have lost their lives after a team of policemen opened fire on them during a protest at the company ’s headquarters on Ajao Estate, Lagos State .

19- year- old Daniel Osikoya, and the other, whose name had yet to be ascertained , reportedly died from the gun injuries they sustained in the leg and thigh respectively.

The workers had protested against perceived discrimination between them and the regular employees , saying the management only cater to the welfare of the full - time workers and ignore the protesters from the production department despite doing all the “strenuous jobs”

The alleged discrimination escalated with the distribution of Yuletide gift items by the company to only regular workers days ago. This led to the protesters , who work at the production department , unanimously deciding that each of them would take away a carton of the company ’s products – which range from Chivita juice , Happy Hour to Ice tea and Caprizone, among other dairy products – as their own New Year packages.

It was reported that the aggrieved workers were about to move the cartons out of the company’ s gate when the policemen invited by the management opened fire on them, resulting to the alleged deaths, Athough the management of Chi Limited is insisting that not two, but one person died in the incident.

The Lagos State Police Command said the workers had attacked policemen deployed in the area with caustic soda , injuring an inspector.
It added that the operatives responded within the ambit of the rules of engagement.

While many have criticised the actions of the police questioning why they couldn't have douse the tension with tazers or teargas since the workers were only armed with caustic soda, the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos , SP Dolapo Badmos , was however quoted to have justified the Police’ actions.


“ The command received a distress call that workers of Chi Limited were disrupting business activities of the company”, she told Punch Newspaper.


Dolapo continues; “ The command ’s operatives were mobilised to the scene to douse tension , but the workers attacked the policemen , throwing caustic soda at them .


“ As a result , one inspector suffered severe burns and he is recovering in a hospital . Why should a policeman on duty be attacked ? That attitude should stop .


“ Attacks on policemen are not right and must be condemned ; they are also human beings with families .


“ The command received the report that one person was shot dead .


“ There is what we call rules of engagement and use of firearms under the police acts and regulations .


“ The command has studied the situation and discovered that the personnel deployed acted in accordance with the rules . ”


According to a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Affairs, Chi Limited, Bode Sojobi, and made available to newseveryhour.com, the Company said the incident happened when the workers tried to forcefully cart away products of the company.

Chi Limited said; “In the course of the encounter with the police, two of the workers sustained gunshot wounds. They were rushed to a nearby company-retained hospital for treatment. One of the injured workers is in stable condition in the hospital. The second injured worker was subsequently referred to a Teaching Hospital and was conveyed there in the company’s ambulance. Sadly, he later passed on.”

The Chivita management explained that the workers while trying to cart away the products damaged company’s properties and endangered the lives of other personnel within the premises in the process and that was why they called the police to take care of them.

Chivita Ltd, in the statement, however pride itself as an organisation that places high premium on human life and said the death is immensely painful to them, stating that it has sent its condolence to the deceased family.

I have worked with Indian company before as casual even when. I had a tertiary certificate.I can never forget what Alex Akinyele did one day when he came to the company.Anybody that knows that man show accord him necessary respect.He made we production section of the company feel human at least for that day.
Nigerian government should not think of taxes from these companies alone but set a rule to make workers there recognized as human beings.The fact that there are no jobs which forces people to work in factories doesn't make them oxen.They are still human beings

Exactly!!! Can you force a company to give you bonus? Saying they did the strenuous jobs is null and void because they signed up for it and they are paid. If they find it too difficult, QUIT!!! It's that simple. But moving their products out of the gate without permission is theft.

He probably meant to use "dis" , the auto-correct changed it to "did". And really the English we're stressing over, isn't really proof of anything, you can ask Hon. Patrick if you think I'm lying.

what is this full talking about? I left my parents house by 18. I'm 29, i own a property in kaduna state. Even a carpenter i know in lagos, 24 years, owns property in ibeju lekki. I am into alternative energy provision and electrical installations. I am not a thief or lazy lout who thinks working in a company and stealing their product will take me anywhere. So you better think with your stinking brain before you type nonsense here next time. The contract staff has limited benefits compared to the full staff anywhere. So they should get their lazy butts up and put it to work rather than stealing. I'm sure when they wanted the job they were on their knees begging for it. Now they have grown wings.

Firstly I can not start exchanging word with you on a platform like this.Your write up said it all, as it portray your level of maturity. I am so sure everything you are bragging about including your self claimed property in Kaduna are product of the failed system (favor from our country looters, over quoted quotation to swindle the government purse and so.on).The guys that were killed are not like you and so a thousand naira is of high importance to them, they work hard doing heavy duty job to earn a living. Lastly, owing a property in the north and not the south provided a good premises for my conclusion, you are not saint and if you find yourselves in those guys shoe, I am pretty sure by now you will be behind the bars as to you success is measured by your property in Kaduna (mumu). A vain man tells the whole world am this but a modest man keeps quiet.

i like people like you. I don't love fighting good people. The world was cruel to me. That's why I'm not so friendly. But then, i promised God i will change if He helped me out of jail. So far this year has been good. Mr Adekunle Bankole: Why not choose peace when you recognize it. Why do you yearn for conflicts knowing you are a gentle person. From the inception, you called me out and abused me first. You had no right to speak to me in the manner you did. I have a right to my opinion, if it differs with yours, then my right to be respected when you air your opinion is not over ruled. This is a global world. You have not shown your self to be a very smart person so far. I can go down a very long line with you. But i choose to back out because of what i promised God: to get closer to Him in obedience. Besides not breaking my promise, You are not the kind of person i want to fight. I appeal to you that you learned diplomacy. You are a graduate: you definitely know something about diplomacy. Use it when addressing people who have not abused you in any way. Trust me sir, I'm not boasting, this is a global world. Nobody is really hidden as the Internet seems to make it appear. It takes pride not to apologize when every logic says you are wrong. And virtue: when it takes the fields against fury, the battle is usually very brief. Good evening.

We are friends and trust me I never held anything against you, as this was justify in one of your messages. You sounded friendly when you claimed not to be far from me and so I am not taking you serious. I am not Adekunle Bankole but honestly I respect everything you said.May God bless the work of your hand and resolution in this new year, and for my first message I apologize, only that I was driven by the pain those family will be passing through when it was obvious that things like this can be averted if we have the right set of leaders. Note, I am not referring to this present administration alone but to those who have made us suffer even in our own country.
