Your mind is filled with negative thoughts. Please purge your mind of these negativities and return to Christ. Staging a kidnap or killing a soul is demonic. What do you stand to gain from it? If only you can sit your ass down, you don't have to work for anyone to enjoy life. You can earn money online just by using Google or doing some menial tasks online rather than give in to the negative thoughts.

What do you stand to gain from your purpoted stage-kidnap, arson or killing souls just because you are been paid a meagre salary. Oga! Sit down and use your brain. There are more positive things you can achieve deeply if only you can use your brain wisely.

Oga keep quiet! You are being too noisy and evasive. Address the matter on ground instead judging the ill thoughts that were provoked by some devious employer. You must be a terrible employer yourself. This scenario really captures why most domestic staff conspire to harm their mean bosses.

Read up his ordeal again, and then return with a more sensible comment. What you wrote here is gibberish! sad

If you can speak fluently as you've written, please find a better job in the company without recourse to the security outfit.

I will advice you to speak with factory owner your plight, if he can employ you or something.
But instead of working for 10k a month why not set up an indomie stand in a busy street, junction or market area, remove shame for eye, with this you are sure of atleast 3 to 5k daily yet you will be your own Boss
Thanks

Good day ladies and gentlemen

I was employed as a security guard at a leather factory through a private security company 4months ago but this company never pays me as they said the factory owner did not pay them . But recently I learnt that the factory owner had been paying them.

but one thing that always motivated me is that the factory owner usually buys me food n drinks, sometimes even tips me 500 naira. So I feel like I was just saving my salary I'll cash out later whenever they paid me but it end up in tears, anger n gnashing of teeth.

Ladies and gentlemen I want your candid advice on how to go about this issue please. Should I go ahead and sue them to pay me my remaining salary or ask the factory owner to avoid the company n pays me directly since he
likes me?

Yunusa, who did you vote for in the last elections?

Meet the factory owner & explain everything to him & ask him if he can employ you directly so you can resign from that modern-day-slavery company.

Litigation costs money. And the factory owner wont like to engage you direct because you can leave at any time

But if you can convince him to cut outthe company and employ you himself, then forget the money and move on
I think I can convince him

welcome to the world of third party contract

there is not much you can do, as this is a one man business and the 'security company' is owned by the same factory owner or a close paddy of his

unless you can get a human rights femi falana type crusader who will do this pro bono, you will just waste your money
you will also waste your time as the nigerian legal system is as slow as molasses with adjournment adjournment adjournment

i wish you the best but you may just have to swallow the L




be very very careful - i dont know how a federal commission will be using a gmail address

this is their website

Good day ladies and gentlemen

I was employed as a security guard at a leather factory through a private security company 4months ago but this company never pays me as they said the factory owner did not pay them . But recently I learnt that the factory owner had been paying them.

I went to the office on Friday to confront them about the issue n also told them I will resign. They asked me to wait till today Monday so they'll forward my issue to their head office to get sorted out.

So I went to the office today, they told me I'll only get one month salary today till when they finally sorted it out then they'll pay me the remaining 3months at the same time.

I said, okay no problem. but the thing that pains me so much is that these heartless entities deducted 6k out of 10k salary n left me took home only 4k. They deducted Five thousand naira for uniform which were never given to us n one thousand naira for audio application form fee respectively.

I returned home dejected, despair n feeling defeated with so many things running on my head. It's really paining me right now feeling like to go n burn their office n kill them all or arrange to kidnap them.

Another thing that I discovered is that the factory owner pay my company 20k but they'll pay me 10k. but one thing that always motivated me is that the factory owner usually buys me food n drinks, sometimes even tips me 500 naira. So I feel like I was just saving my salary I'll cash out later whenever they paid me but it end up in tears, anger n gnashing of teeth.

My dear brother, you just got an experience, though a bitter one, just forget it and report them to God

That's all

But you can go to the factory HRM and see if they can employ you directly, may be you should talk to them

Contract work is modern day slave trade. Why not apply directly?

You can tell the employer but even at that, if you cut them off, they may kill you or send Alaye afonja urchins to harm you.

The employer can give you reference to another company. That's my take.
you can't apply directly unless through som1 known to the employer
