If true, I would be Very sure more non northerners were sacked. Tribalism and nepotism. Had similar experience with unity bank ( former bank of the north)

So let me get this straight. Is it because of Northern Hausa Muslims or because the company as a whole take you guys collect loan? Because to me you dey confused and quick to play tribal and religious card and if
I get company my self I no go hire you.

No mind th OP Why must some people always distractingly and foolishly bring Islam, Aboki, Hausa & North in every single time, in relation to every issue discussed in this forum? This attitude is a daming indictment of how some of them lack fundamentally sound reasoning. I personally think most of them are simply not exposed or even minimally sophisticated.

If not 4 corruption within the entire system why should the entire economic fabric of the country be mortgaged to one man!! He has some of the largest companies in this continent yet he finds it difficult to adequately employ graduates. Shame of a country!!!

Pls shut up is'nt that possible in Nigeria. We're in a country where many have been denied work because of their ethnicity/ religion; yet we cry of racism while we are worse. That's just blackman's inhumanity to fellow blackman!!

Well the company is own by a Northern hausa Muslim, if he chooses to employ only Northern hausa Muslim, no blame on him. It's a privately owned not government owned. You can ask your rich men to stop importation business and start investing in your villages, opening industry.

Nigerian, this call for another open letter or letters to dangote as a person stating why should he play on the psych of Nigerian graduate with the intension of loan by the arms of government of Nigeria. According to the info then,they said about five profesionals were among,their fate is now zero. But those who are concerned should take heart & move ahead for all the revelations revealed & more to come are pre-requisite for our Nation Nigeria to be Great once again & she will never be debase again.

Chartey: Seun really has to start training moderators very well. This is a thread that can make Dangote lose public goodwill just because of someone's frustrations. If the op feels his appointment has been unjustly terminated, he should use the right channel to get redress. I no want make dem sue NL o.
In real settings, we Nigerian youths have no voice, nobody listens to us or take us serious but thankGod for seun that provided us this platform to express ourselves. The last time i check we have freedom of speech, we have many bloggers here and they should spread this till it reaches the appropriate quarters.

arab-bunkum:
Information reaching my desk has confirmed that Dangote Group has quietly issued termination letters to almost all the graduate drivers that were recently employed amidst much publicity.

One of the affected graduate drivers who pleaded for anonymity, was actually crying when he narrated their ordeal. 'We went through a training program at NITT, Zaria for three months and were issued with employment letters by the Dangote Group in March 2013 at their head office in Lagos. We were all deployed to Dangote Cement Plant, Obajana ( Transport Division). At Obajana, the head of transport, ALHAJI LADAN, directed that we all be made to undergo an attachment with the more experienced drivers just to enable us gather much experience. We were all undergoing the attachment when, sometimes in May 2013, a directive came from the head office in Lagos, directing that all the graduate drivers that wish to leave driving should indicate interest to be converted to Fleet Officers (which is an office work).

We all wrote to be converted to Fleet Officers and that's when the drama started. Instead of doing the conversion process once as was the case when we got issued with employment letters in Lagos, the cabal at Obajana dragged it slowly to enable them to smuggle in many people who were never part of the original set that received training in Zaria and employment letters in Lagos. The conversion started in June 2013 and ended in November 2013, a period of six months for something that should not have taken more than one week for a fair minded and serious set of people.

At the end, only very few of the original graduate drivers were converted to Fleet Officers while the cabal in charge of the conversion exercise succeeded in getting their people into the positions meant for the graduate drivers. So, we were waiting for the exercise to continue when on December 02, 2013, the head of transport, ALHAJI LADAN, directed that our salaries be stopped. When we went to find out why our December salaries were stopped, they told us to come back today being January 06, 2014. So, you could imagine our surprises when, on reaching there today, they just came out and started issuing termination letters to us.'

When asked how many graduate drivers were converted to Fleet Officers, he replied that they were about six[b]. He further revealed that the scheme was actually a ploy used by the company to take a loan from a foreign agency and to boost its image both at home and abroad, and that's why the company is doing away with the graduate drivers now that the deed has been done.
[/b]
He further berated the set of people that heads the transport sector at Obajana, who are all Northern Hausa Muslims, for being overly incompetent and corrupt.

He is still confused as he seems confused on what to do next.


*****I'm not happy for making this front page for the first time ( January for that matter) with a bad news. He keeps asking me "What now?! I just can't figure it out!"
Pathetic indeed.*****
I find it very insulting how Nigerians worship coloured skin and yet have no respect for there own, that's why the Lebanese, Chinese even hungry Indians treat them like trash, insult and beat them up daily and they take it happily, my friend I put it to you now that for the fact Dangote tried to help your sorry ass by given you a job and free training the only rubbish you can do is to come here to spoil his good name, who told you that dangote needs to polish his image to get a loan, if you have a problem with his staffs find the right way to channel it but as for trying to slander Dangotes good name for doing a good deed for you, then you must be wicked and you deserve nothing good, my advice immediately tender an apology and retract that statement with speed

Do not judge based on one sided information, the writer is bias even from his writeup. Dangote employs more 30,000 people directly.

Imagine how daft, needs them to secure a loan? everything is cabal even in a private biz?

So for him to sack them, then something most be wrong with them, if they were useful i dont think he will sack them.

FYI, he only tried to employ the graduate drivers out of pity, If you think you deserve better go do it yourself!

Write to the newspapers and television stations if possible use social media to tell this story. This is the reason why nigeria is deteriorating, if you dont fight back nothing will happen. Oga Dangote might not even be aware of what happened. You have the power to move this story use facebook and other social media. if possible use other international media too that is how information is diseminated because they used you as a guinea pig to get what they wanted.

But Employing over qualified people is dangerous

How are they over qualified? A lot of truck drivers in Europe, America and Canada have bachelors/masters degrees. And besides, degrees in Nigeria have diminished quality.
