Dear Nairalanders today was a sad day a very sad day for me and my family ,Airtel Sim registration partners went on a sacking spree in Lagos an most part of Nigeria following the decision of the telecom operator to change the rules of the game midway with their partners. In a bid to expand the network , the Indian owned firm lured unsuspecting Nigerian business men and women in Lagos and other parts of the country with a profit story which they never intended to keep. The partners were mandated to open 5-10 Airtel express shops in Key locations for sim registration and to promote the brand in addition to 20- 30 mini shops, employing hundreds of people in the process, most of the parners invested more than 20 million in the process.

After withholding commission payout to our employers for almost 4 months which affected some of the welfare packages earlier promised. the telecoms firm wrote our employers a letter in the middle of June and backdated implementation to march informing the partners of a shift in goal post midway into the partnership.

Some of the partners who were expecting a pay out of between 5-7 million payment in commission for the period suddenly got 4000 to 250,00 commission pay out and cried foul play . On Monday partners in Lagos began a massive sack of employees in the Airtel shops, while others are preparing to take legal actions, some are already in talks with Globacom and MTN for partnership re-branding of their assets some of which are in located in key locations.

I was employed in February this year and received my sack letter today. I could not blame my Madam, she has been good to us and we saw how she has been labouring to pay us our salaries while waiting for Airtel . She showed us all the documents and how Airtel tricked her and her husband into making huge investments only to renege midway.

As we go home without work we pray that Airtel and their partners will resolve thier differences so that we can return to work and support our families ,but if them no wan settle Abeg Glo and Mtn I dey here o
