But please don't professional players in Europe sign similar contracts with their respective clubs? Can this also be termed "bonding"?. |

Rarely comment, but this topic caught my attention. I will advise all prospective employees to read the Nigerian Labor Law. Please note that any term not covered by the labor law and included in an Employee's employment letter is null and void. Look for a lawyer quickly, he'll advise you better. Regards 1 Like |

What has Natasha said that is untrue?all u shouting ' crucify her' ,I simply wonder how your daily lives are?what is ur attitude to honest,hard work and what values do you place as important?telling this guy to miss from work is akin to telling someone that gets a 6month visiting visa to miss once he has crossed heathrow,after all,many do it without consequence until one day someone is deported.No country can be greater than the sum total of the positive values the citizenry hold dear.if you like speak all the English in the world,after all you have a plum job and earn a fat pay,but if you encourage the wrong thing,no matter who you are,you are a product of the gutter cos we are the products of how we think. 3 Likes |

Take full advantage of the situation. As a medical representative you must be meeting a lot of people. The network can help you in future. I have a friend who is now mega rich in this same Nigeria because he once worked as a medical rep, travelled around a lot, and so on. When he eventually set up his own company all those contacts became extremely useful. Please do not be lazy at thinking. Do you think that Dangote started that easy? Learn the ropes, meet people and quit at the right time. Would you rather sit down in one back office arranging files and being paid 100k per month for a job that is hardly progressive? I do not in anyway condone what Indians and indeed what foreigners do in Nigeria to enslave us. No Nigerian can go to India to set up petty trade, yet they come here and enslave us. Blame our leaders for the nonsense. As we speak, mot of FG cabinet members are in China 'begging' for loans. If we are serious, we should be the ones bailing out others at this time, but we remain unserious and catastrophically retrogressive. 2 Likes |

/ What happened to walking away? How are they going to collect the Else, 2 years is not bad after all considering that a lot of people will fight to have the same job you have. Talk to your partners in the banking world, the stressful situation is about the same and retrenchment is always knocking. Life is not fair, you know. If you love your job, it will not be a job. My point is that most people hate their jobs but got to do it anyway. Most people complain about how stressful their jobs are until they find out how more stressful unemployment could be. So suck it up. // 1 Like |

[quote author=kushe]@Natasha People will never realise the value of truth till its consequence strikes them.Are Nigerian graduates lazy?In my own assessment,absolutely with a capital A.how about their sense of entitlement? These bunch of poorly educated so called stars(especially the ones post NYSC)attend job interviews and mention sums they intend to earn,sums that are so divergent from their numerical abilities.They hardly can write a decent letter with the right tenses,can hardly think backwards to solve a simple problem and yet they feel they deserve the world.If I have not met and interviewed a whole bunch of them then I would be totally unfair right now but it is just pathetic how bad our products are and Natasha ,let them crucify you,your tone was stern but absolutely required.

kushe: @NatashaFirstly, its very stupid to come here and generalize every Nigerian graduate as 'lazy'. This is a simple case of an employer making a promise and reneging on his promise while expecting his 'bonded' employer to do same. That's just ridiculous. Infact this is a plus to Nigerian graduates, they're not as stupid as the ones in your Utopia or in Natasha's imaginary world. If the employer is not 'civilised' enough to fufil his own contract, the OP should ignore the rubbish bond. 2 Likes |

I think some Nigerians are plain lazy doesn't eliminate the fact that some companies over-work their staff, however i experienced a lot of hardship in the bank and IT industry i had two choice i could quit and stay at home after all my parents are comfortable if i am going with that mindset or i suck it up and continue, i sucked it up and continued with the work, its stressful but I didn't die. The truth is that even a Nigerian business will equally stress you out, its business not play, you can hate natasha for all you want but that's the truth, the fact you graduated doesn't mean you are entitled to a job, and if its not your thing, then go be an entrepreneur and tell me if that is easy, some Nigerians want short-cut to success. Even here in my school the Nigerian students complain of low grades and that the teachers are failing them, and looking at the efforts put into their work, i would say the picture is being nice, this are the kinda things that destroy the country, an IT graduate can code not even operate a system but wants a pass mark, that same graduate would be employed later and complain about the work because he or she doesn't know it. I really fear for our future. |

Re: Enslaved To An Indian Company By "Service Bond" by kushe: 10:41pm On Jul 11, 2013 |
@duni04 I have no qualms with this man wanting to run from harsh working conditions,my problem is most people's attitude to the bond the man signed.A bond is a signed contract binding you to a Corporate entity for a specified period.U provide your skills and they reward you accordingly,monetarily and in other ways as specified by your contract form or employment letter.why didn't you consult a lawyer before signing the bond,now you see gbege,you dey run. one of the most used terms amongst youth in Nigeria today especially artists is 'endorsement deal' .When an artist endorses a particular brand,say an mtn or etisalat,he or she is paid Heftily and signs a bond that says for as long as he is signed to that brand,he can't be seen fraternising with a competing brand or engaging in behaviour that will marr the integrity of the brand he represents.M.i no fit go waka for mtn yellow carpet after he don collect adenuga money neither should Tiwa savage or wizkid be seen drinking coke in public.if they like let them forget themselves and just misdo,a bond is a bond,if you can't honour it,don't sign it. a paparazzi snapped the wrist of a supermodel recently and she was wearing a wristwatch that wasn't the product of the brand she had endorsed .even though the gbeborun had invaded her space to obtain the shots,she was dropped and lost millions in endorsement fees.That is how civilised folks roll. |

erniok: My Statement was a generalized statement and not specifically to the OP, now the OP messed up by signing, so its his fault, one thing i learnt in the bank, never sign any legal document without a lawyer even as a Web Developer, because that's the easiest way to get entangled, so how can he not know what to expect by just signing away like that. That's why we have lawyers for a reason. |
