Instead of wasting time doing IT you will never learn anything from other than sending you on errands not even related to your field, it's better you go and learn a skill.


That was what i did.

This is just a deliberate attempt to malign the organisation. I work there and interns DON'T WASH TOILETS.
If u say they don't get remuneration for the period of their internship, that's true but the toilet? that's a malicious lie from the pit of hell.
See, internship is not by force. I also went through worse where I did mine. You have the choice to stay or leave. Those who are learning tailoring do not sit and just learn under their master, they run errands work related or not despite the fact that they pay to even learn.
It is so simple, if you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.
I can't believe someone like you who pray to your God everyday is saying this. U know the truth yet deny it? I pray for your forgiveness and may your children never be subjected to such treatment all in the name of getting education

abeg swerve. if you have any issues with me, address me but don't ever involve my children.
I already explained what I went through as an intern. stop the holier than thou attitude. You need the prayers more.
What truth by the way? the "truth" that interns wash toilet? You can apply as an intern so you will get first hand info as part of your investigations.

Some Aggrieved interns just decided to go to Telegraph and sponsor against TVC. Na wa oo. They just spoilt the chances of other who would like to Intern in TVC and learn the job. This is definitely not a true story. It sure sponsored. Where are the pictures oo. Na wa for Nigerians and our news platforms sef. All for the money.

Does it even make any sense. Interns washing toilets? Why don't Nigerians critically read before jumping into any conclusion. Its definitely a sponsored story and this is unfair for TVC. I watch TVC and i know people who work there.

Help me tell them. The major issue here is that they do not pay and they let you know that before you are taken. All these bickering na money matter. How many of the interns even know what they are doing? You give them a simple story to write, you have headache editing it and they don't even want to learn.

It's not only TVC that is like that !!


A middle class fabrication company i did my SIWES in also treated me and my friends that way....

Initially, they said they don't want IT students because IT students are stubborn and disrespectful... We didn't decipher this at first and just begged them because registration was almost closing.....


The first day of our internship, we got there 7am and the manager told us to "Please help us quickly sweep the office and workshop"... We thought the cleaner was sick or something.....


The sweeping went on and on and from "Please sweep" it became "Can't you people sweep"......


Like that wasn't enough, the toilet that they hadn't clean in over 8 months and their staffs weren't using again because it was too dirty, we were asked to wash and clean it.....

We were they're errand boys. We'd go to buy food, wash clothes and even cars !!!!


We went there as Maintenance Engineers but they took away the ENGINEERING part and left us with the maintenance.....


The CEO treated us badly too.... We gave him our Logbooks to sign, he didn't sign it until the week we were going and he said until we cleared the grass and cleaned the whole workshop before he can sign it....... We sha did it and he signed our books and gave us #10,000 for the 3 months......


I'm not saying the money he gave us wasn't enough or whatever.... I'm just saying the way IT students are being treated is becoming another thing and the body responsible for it should see into it.....


WE ARE STUDENTS, NOT APPRENTICES !!!!!

©Rapsowdee
I can relate with this.
because of this silly ASUU strike, I decided to go back to where I did my IT to continue the training I never had in school without getting a dime at one stupid workshop like that.

guess what, they started treating me like an outsider. no one really take me seriously like they treat their apprentice. but there dare not send me such silly errands and menial jobs. I am not their apprentice and they can't treat me as such.

despite the fact that you help and carry heavy machine parts, the foreman and manager will never watch you twice to pay you a dime. the place. is just bleeped up.

This is so untrue. I openly challenge anyone to come out with evidence. I have worked with TVC for more than 4 years now and I can say it anywhere that it is the most "intern-friendly" company.
So is it a crime for a broadcast company to open its doors to students for internship?
Here is a link to a story one of our interns did recently. It already has more than 500 views on YouTube. An intern went out with our reporter, did her own version of the report, voiced it and another intern attached to Video editors edited it.

For a company that encourages budding talents, this article is mischievous, malicious and completely false.

Polythecnic students will always accept any form of job for I. T.
In my place of work polythecnic students studying marketable courses such as accountancy, elect Eng, etc are offered cleaning and garderner jobs, and they happily accept it.

I keep asking myself what would they write on their SIWES log book?.

Wallade:
I will not hold brief for TVC and such organizations that engage interns on such jobs. Moreover, I must say that most organizations treat interns in similar ways.

I did internship with ExxonMobil (MPNU) at Ibeuno, Akwa Ibom several years back. I was seconded to the General Services dept, office support unit but it was basically menial jobs we were subjected to do.

So much that we had to move some furniture in a senior management staff office on a particular day and she had to comment about the nature of job we do and emphasize that the purpose of internship has been defeated.

But we did the job anyway, we moved on - Corp and attaches. With a letter to show for it. Honestly, I had little or nothing substantial to appreciate about that experience.

However, today we look back to where we started, appreciate where we are today and aspire to achieve more in future. Our experience shapes us but we determine who and what we are: we make our lives.
Nice one!

If you want to support something, please be commonsensical about it. This isn't about money ish. How many companies pay their intern? Very few. With what you wrote up there, I sincerely hope you're not an editor with the said company.

They can't write a simple story, but an interview is conducted before employment? Easy with the lies abeg.

It is the fault of our decayed system. Nobody to check those excesses. It is every where in Nigeria employment. Some firms will keep U as a trainee for as long as possible, whenever U complain they fire you. And the cycle continues.

Before you also quote me, you should be sensible to get your facts right ok? An interview is not conducted. They write a test which has to do with simple English, maths and the rest. Does writing a simple test equate excellence in writing and producing news they were supposed to learn in school? Obviously you are an aggrieved party and your posts have elements of ignorance in them, that is why you would slander someone (Morayo) you don't even know. Dem say Dem say. com
