Good evening house. Its going to be a long read, I tried as much as possible to leave some things out like the lady that had miscarriage and wasn't even permitted to visit the hospital to evacuate the remnant instead she was told to use her break(1 hour lunch break o) or when when he told his staffs that their allowances were used for office maintenance(painting the office)

Please read and advice these people on how to right these wrongs that was and is being done to them

This post is to expose the excesses of one man, Younes Hajj, anybody that has worked in the CIC department in Fouani Nigeria Limited will know what I am talking about albeit the duration of their stay there. Please read and assist in getting justice for everyone who has in one way or the other been wronged by this man, in the 1 year plus I worked at that place, only one title can accurately describe this man, he is The Devil.

I am sure if this post goes viral, a lot of Nigerians will have something to say about this man and I promise you none of it will be good.

This man does not allow any form of interaction amongst worker as you can be terminated for turning your head in the office, as in say you just turn neck o. Someone was terminated for laughing after office hours, work don close o and baba say the guy laugh and the next day na termination straight. Your job security depends on his mood, as he might just decide to terminate you with the excuse of 'we dont want you anymore'

Approval of leave is at his mercy, I can remember a staff, Chidinma that was due for 1 week leave and this man denied her despite the fact that this lady was seriously ill, he made her come to work even with the drip connected to her body as he told her she will be terminated if she doesnt work. This lady fainted twice at work that day and had to choose her life by resigning.

This is just one of the many cases of staffs that were terminated because they were absent from work because of illness even after informing him and providing medical report, Ebere and Julius were terminated because they missed work for 2 days because of their health. Tunde's case was the most recent in this category, he resumed with a medical report after being unable to come to work for 2 days and in this man's word "sorry, you can go home and rest. You will see your salary at the end of the month" That was the end of the young mans employment with Fouani Nigeria Limited.

This man has made the work environment so toxic and it is not strange to see staffs crying after leaving his office as he talks to staffs as if Nigerians are lesser humans, he called a teamlead a slut and accused her of sleeping with her team members because she does not deduct staff break, he threatened Samiat and promised to destroy her because the young lady wanted to quit and go for her youth service.

This man makes it his office policy to to limit staffs restroom usage to 7 minutes, anything beyond this can get you break deductions, warning letters and even termination. Whereas he who sets the rules spends 30 minutes in the restroom (You and I knows that no one can control nature).

For a company like Fouani Nigeria Limited, it is laughable that their staffs are not provided with the basic requirement of the Nigerian labour law. No appointment letter is being issued upon employment, just a dos and dont form you sign on the day of resumption, this form contains his office policy and without a document to protect the right of the employee, this man rains terror on employees undisturbed.

A Muslim staff was terminated for dosing during ramadan(this man na muslim o, and he prays 5 times daily) and so many others that I can't mention all that have face similar cases on a daily basis. He employs today and terminate tomorrow with a reliable reasons. There is a post on nairaland as far back as 2020 about this man.

Work time is Monday to Saturday 7:50AM to 5:30PM with no visible compensation for working overtime instead he tells you he is doing you a favor and you will get as much as 5,000 deducted from your salary which is more than double of our daily income.

Staffs break are deducted x3 of the minutes they came late to work despite the fact that their salaries will be deducted for same reason. This man raised this break deduction from x2 to X3 during the cash scarcity period in February, when getting transportation to work was almost impossible. This was when I decided I could not continue.

All these are happening in Fouani Nigeria Limited (sole distributor of LG, Hisense and Maxi products) CIC department which is headed by Younes Hajj in a country that has laws that protects employee's interest. However, they are not being implemented and this post is to expose happenings within the company and to ask for help from Nigerians to stop this modern day slavery in our motherland. Nigerians are not slaves and shouldn't be treated as such.

All the names mentioned here are real people who has suffered in the hands of this man, I hope they see this post and come out to tell their stories themselves.

Anyone who wants to assist their fellow countrymen who is trapped in this wicked system because of their limited choice and the situation of the country should assist in calling out this man so that the management of the company can call this man to order as I refuse to believe the management of this reputable company are a party to the illegal and inhumane practices of this man.

With the recent case of Mohbads death, i have come to realize that mental health is very very important and the best time to speak out is now, i regret not doing this while I was there and I had to leave because I go to work in the morning with fear of the unknown and I return home with dried tears in my eyes because I know I have resume this tortuous routine again tomorrow. This was my life from Monday to Saturdays until I decided to chose my mental health.

If you have an advice for the people still there and know of a way for these ill to be corrected, please reach out and drop your comments as every bit of info here has evidence to back it up.

I know this m**therfuck**r naaa. I remember one time a girl named Judith fainted at work, He was even the person that called a taxi to take her to the hospital, month end this evil personified deducted her salary for missing work.

You say laugh, if you so much as giggle or chuckle you will be sacked. He calls people names at will and is ever quick to tell you he is doing you a favour by paying you salary. He is fond of saying the lights and chairs and AC in the office are goodwill so the job can be sweeter....shey we for stand work ni?

If we start em story, e no go end o. Someone that checks private messages btw staffs from his computer.

Post this information on X (twitter).

Yes have worked there before and I can’t find any lie in all you said, Younes Hajj treats the workers as nothing more than slaves, the part that still get to me till date is that you have to take permission to use the restroom and must not spend more than 5 minutes even if you are defecating or just peeing.

Im a lady and you can imagine how tough being on your period is in that office month in, month out because you can’t even visit the restroom to check your pad.

You are denied the right to do basic things and you can’t dare fall Ill because once you do, that day’s pay won’t only be deducted but you will also sign a warning letter

Coming in 1 minute after your lunch break even if he delayed it can lead to you loosing your bonus, no break the next day and also signing of warning letter.

You can imagine how frustrating this can be in an office where you can stretch your legs even for 1min apart from your break.

Before he will grant you your leave that’s your right he will frustrate you with so much process to get it and prior to when your leave is starting he will work you to the bones.

I remember an incidence where someone was very cold and shivering in the office, even with her cardigan on he refused to turn down the AC even though he doesn’t share the same office with us and the AC doesn’t affect him in anyway or form, you can’t talk infact once you walk in through that door you relinquish your freedom to him.

Working there was hell for me and everyone that worked there, Younes Hajj is a devil in human form and see Nigerians as nothing better than slave.

This is not a factory ooo, it’s an office.

Admin, please help move to FP, so you all will see what Nigerians are going through in the search of daily bread. You get paid between 45k-60k as a graduate working for Fouani Nigeria Limited.
You see grownups come to work and cry when they get their break deducted for the smallest mistake, you get a warning letter for using the restroom for more than 5 minutes, for turning your head in the office, you can't eat in the office and you can't eat outside. You're expected to have had breakfast before resuming by 7:50 am, if not na toilet you go take go chop because oga must not catch you.

I believe Nigeria is past this, evil thrives when we turn the other cheek, even if you can't fight for yourself, cry out so that the person the Lord will send to fight for you will hear your cry.

Nlfpmod, odewaleadesoye.
Please help get this post to a larger audience. I have worked there before. This man treats Nigerians as slave, he makes bullying of staffs the criteria for his QAs to get bonus, that means if him no hear your voice say you dey shout for people, you would not bonus that month. He also believes he is untouchable, I applaud the person that started this, lets help make this post viral so we can improve things in this country in our own little way. I heard they had a protest recently sef, I just hope they get justice.

The helplessness the people working there feels is just not healthy for the mental health, I have been there so I understand.

Those who have extensive knowledge in web development can make a profitable income by instructing others.

Odewaleadesoye:
What documents do employees sign before getting the employment fully?

What are the rules, regulations and policies of the company?

A Do's and Don't form is the only document employees are made to sign, no offer letter or appointment letter. Nothing that protects the right of employee at all. For your second question, employees are given office policies and not company's policy, these policies are made by the manager.
No phones are allowed in the office
Maximum restroom time is 7 minutes
Maximum of 2 staffs are allowed to use the restroom at a time(You might get a warning letter for it)
You cannot talk in the office, not for any reason.
Etc

The problem with Nigerians is that they are not united. And the mentality of "hold on to what you have" bla...bla...bla...will always affect their reasoning.

I would understand if this is happening in Lebanon. But for this nonsense to happen in Nigeria and no employee has been able to challenge him or take drastic measures is pathetic!

Everyone obviously is scared to lose their jobs, but not bothered about losing their dignity. This is why politicians treat us like shit because we don't know our rights, can't fight for it, and just accept whatever is thrown at us like cowards.

Has anyone ever protested against him or filed a report about his despicable acts? Of course not! That's because Mr A is waiting on Mr B to take action and even if Mr B takes action, will he have the support and backings of Mr A? I doubt it.

So, if the employees cannot unite to fight this evil, then there is no evil. If they are enduring it, it is probably because they are enjoying it.

You are shameless, coming here to cry. In your own country a foreigner treated you like a slave and you come here online to cry like a baby. Can't you confront him?
Go to his office and confront him, and stop crying like a coward on line. 269 Nigerian Visa were terminated on arrival at Saudi Arabia. When you people are ready to take back your country. You all will be respected but for now swallow whatever you see, since your president who is a drug dealer doesn't care if you have a job.

God bless you for this comment, all bunch of cowards. Coming online to cry like an baby. Tell me if this isn't inferiority complex. The suffer hasn't started yet. Since the youths want to be stupid. A foreigner is bullying and intimidating you in your own country. And he is coming online to cry. . Instead of confidently confronting the man. Since he can't think like a sensible human, he will continue to cry and be taken advantage of. I feel so sad to seeing a full grown up, crying like a baby. This is why South African men are wiser than us, a typical Nigeria thinks everything is all about money. South African men are confident and don't think, money must be made to be confident about your rights.
