Bro the problem is not about an India company, it is about the government of the country they operate in. I work with an India owned company here in the US and I can tell you it’s first class. If there no laws to checkmate sharp practices, the labour force suffers while the authorities look the other way.

Hmmmmm...it can never be over emphasized, the best feeling ever is self employment/entrepreneurship.
Imagine the mess of joblessness this one just go bungled into unprepared and unaware.

Oga OP be it glo,mtn or etisalat they are all the same, try get something doing on ur own to help ur people even if u must do paid job get another means of income.
Can everybody be a rapper or sportsman?
Top and smart countries open up industries and encourage arts and science to stem unemployment
Other place unemployed on welfare till they get jobs and in the case of those who arent able to get jobs continue with it
All these self employed or everybody na ceo can never work in a sane country never mind here where labour and govt laws are easily flouted
Encourage investment and watch unemployment disappear
Btw in the 70's to the mid 90's there were a lot of foreign music labels here which aided d production of good music here
Where are they now?
Ur guess is as good as mine

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

God Bless my hussle

We have labour laws here too but I tell you this, very few people know about them(myself included) and some who knows about them feels they'll never win in court(don't know why) or they just say the normal excuse of- its the Nigerian factor.... $mh

If na me, I'll go find out the laws that protect me before putting my money in any investment with these leviathan companies to avoid being crushed and treated like poo.

Too bad. government should do something. how can you wake up and sack people anyhow

If you can wake up and employ people anyhow you can equally wake up and sack people anyhow.

It's only in naija that people pretend a company doesn't have the right to scale its workforce.

Private businesses are not charity organizations. When they run into financial troubles, would the labor unions or ministry of labor bail them out?

Don't you have the right to sack your housemaid any damn time you please?

Valid points. But hence the government gives less of a dime about the governed, what do u suggest we do, fold out hands and wait for them or keep drumming the complain drum

It's better we help ourselves and care for ourselves since no one cares, evenso, no one can care for u more than you and the way out is getting something rolling all by you even if you are bent on waiting for paid jobs.

Abi na to keep wishing while complain

The Ministry of Labour is in the Labour Room, belabouring the masses.

I guess your intent of this question is sarcastic.

How could a government that hasn’t been able to tackle excessive killings get interested in addressing Labour market injustice?

Nigeria never start its journey to nationhood.
