nutigal: Aggrieved party? Now your rantings are beginning to drain common sense. I'm an avid follower of her programme "your view". If you're one, you'll notice that at any slight opportunity, she complains about the interns working there - their lack of patience, lack of good attitude, yadi yadi yada. My honest question is this, If you don't treat your interns right, do you expect an excellent attitude from them? Why would a news outlet conduct a simple English and maths teat for its interns? Na common entrance dem won write? Don't worry, its my fault that their selection process is faulty. BTW, you need to check the meaning of slander again. 1 Like |

DeBlackArabian:yes I know who an intern is and wat it entails. I'm saying it's a norm for d post to b an abusive one from d employers and not necessarily a Nigerian tin. People who apply der know they will b treated poorly but apply all d same because of d name of d coy and not d experience gotten der. |

comshots:Looted funds? So you are now a judge advocate. I suggest you try and loot funds and set up your business. Then hire people to run it anyhow. Anyway, like i previously mentioned, if they don't like the working conditions, they should quite. Everyone knows what is happening in Nigeria!!!! |

The truth is that, as an intern, payment isn't compulsory but only if the company wants to. During my time, I was told I wasn't gonna be paid, I agreed, I told the MD that I was there for the experience and not pay because with the experience, I am sure it'll pay me in the future. He smiled and was impressed with that..... But treating them as Janitors is a big no-no. That's a big scam. They should even report to SIWES co-ordinators |

nutigal: This is the typical Nigerian mentality tho Treat those "beneath" you like trash. As an intern, you should be trained on the job, running errands is secondary, and which in itself is not a crime, but when it is lorded over you, then e get as e be. But do they have a choice? They just have to endure till they get what they want, the price for being born in a Zoo |

Okay. I just rounded up my 6months internship with TVC NEWS. And here are the facts. It depends on who you are working with. The person I worked with is someone who is extremely professional and not one to allow her interns participate in any form of menial job. This staff makes sure to carry along and tutor his interns in the art of news and tv production. I learnt alot from him and for that I'll be forever grateful to him. But however, There are alot of interns at TVC who are not as fortunate as I was. They were never asked to watch toilets, But they were put through a whole lot of other crap. Such as -Washing of dishes -running of ridiculous errands such as buying of food for staff(sometimes under the rain), going grocery shopping, washing of server racks, cleaning of programms set, fixing coffee and tea etc... -Rude and intimidating actions from the staff- most staff take pleasure in insulting and intimidating interns. -Sexual harassment by some male staff on the female interns(This is very common by the likes of Mr Tolu- a senior business news correspondence/anchor -i'm sure you've seen him countless times on TV, he usually reads business news on TVC news). This guy should be sued. -Uncomfortable working conditions- TVC NEWS suffers from shortage of office chairs, and because of this there are barely enough chairs in the Newsroom. So most times interns are made to stand or sit on tables(with the risk of been yelled at by a staff for not sticking to work place rules) -Unpleasant work hours. Despite the fact that interns are not being paid by TVC, they are made to work ridiculous hours, with the new WAKE UP NIGERIA programm on TVC entertainment, interns in that department are made to resume as early as 6:30am and most times close as late as 6-7pm. Some interns even work on weekends and public holidays. -"interns are nothing" perspective of the TVC management. This is a very common thing in alot if organizations, but its worse in Tvc. Interns in Tvc are not even given reasonable I.D cards, rather they are given silly worn out tags(some with bad card rope, while some are made of paper). And if for any reason these tags are misplaced by an intern, he/she is required to pay N1000 for them. TVC doors are operated by key cards, these doors provide connection to the work areas of TVC, there's no way you would work at TVC and not use these doors at least 10 times a day. And Yes interns are not given these key cards, and in-between running errands, an average intern at TVC uses this doors at least 20 times a day. So without key cards, they are meant to stand at the door hoping a staff will walk by and perhaps open the door for them. These actions and many more makes TVC a terrible place to consider doing your iT, unless you are one of the lucky few who is assigned to a reasonable person. And even with that u still have to deal with other issues like the sexual harrasment and "interns are nothing" syndrome. 8 Likes 1 Share |

opeaceo: I am sad that it took this long before I caught wind of this nonsensical story being posted about TVC. It really is! I was privileged to be at TVC as an intern for round about 8 weeks and I have this to say "it was the best experience in my entire four years as a Mass Communication student in the University of Lagos". To those yarning gibberish about TVC, I've really got to ask you guys, what value did you bring to the table or you expect that as an intern who wants to learn you are excused from having common sense about what you want to learn about. TVC was the best place I could have interned and I keep telling 300,200 and 100 level students in my department the same thing. There, just like anywhere you want to excel, you are faced with the choice of detwrmining your own fate. While I was there, I was attached to a programme (Trends) and I worked with an outstanding young man who oversaw the production of the show (Damilola Oduolowu). Trends airs on Tuesdays, I resumed work on a Tuesday (Dec. 13,2016) and to my initial surprise, he sat me down, opened some of the previous scripts for the show and told me to write the script for that day. Even though I had written scripts for several productions in school, this was new, scary, knowing that I was about to write a script for a programme that did not just air in Nigeria but all over Africa and in the UK and some other countries, I sat for hours on a script for a show that only lasted about 45 minutes. He came back to meet me around 12. I was expecting him to trash it. He said "this is good!!!" And that's how we began. He only made minor corrections. Within the same week, I helped another producer scribble something for her show. I did voice overs and before I left, I edited some of the episodes for rerun and online. I was never asked to buy anything. In fact, the only time I went to help someone, I offered! She was sick yet she couldn't just ask me. There was respect. There always is respect for potentials. If Miss or Mr A did not go there with an empty head, they won't be used to do house chores. I know about wake up Nigeria and it's a premium show that started after I left. The only reason they will ask you to wash tea cups is for them to serve guests while they are in the green room like they do for the breakfast show. And that is something I will gladly do and get back on set. Develop yourself and don't just go to TVC to be a slay queen or King. TVC is for brains. Don't go there emptt headed. You won't learn nada. A dead brain can't actually assimilate nada, so please make sure your brain is not defunct! As for the media house that reported this, I hope you are not a major news outlet because if you are, i fear for the future of journalism in this country save for organisations like TVC, Channels and some finger countable organisations. I drop my pen here. And unlike those who will hide under the comfort of anonymity and be keypad warriors, I will put my name to it. Coz it's from my brain i typed this dope stuff. It is Joseph Odeh (400 level, Department of Mass Communication, University of Lagos) Come to school in case you doubt, I'm quite popular. Pheew! |
Re: TV Continental (TVC) Treating Interns Like 'Slaves' - NewTelegraphOnline by opeaceo: 7:56pm On Sep 14, 2017 |
LaLuminous: Who cares if you're a student from the university of Lagos, who cares if you're in your 400level, who effing cares if you're popular? You left a comment that puts a credence to this post above and replied mine because Honestly, your rants are Bl_ood-y depressing. muah, should go to the university of Lagos to search for one Joseph because?
