The indians you call iddiots erroneously are the ones who were chosen by the owners of the company to run the company in place of the "wise" Nigerians. If you guys feel so angry then go buy NITEL and run it the way you like.

@rman

tell them, salary reductions is a strategy in business, even staff reduction.

rman:

This is what happens when an operator comes into a market and the first thing they did iwas to slash tarrifs. Good move but is it sustainable for the bussiness? All other operators will soon adopt this model because telecoms is a game of numbers. Do what you have to do to make sure you hold unto or snatch customers from other operators. Whenever there is a sudden price slash without significant improvement in the operating environment, some people have to pay. This time it is the staffs. The bussiness need to survive.

The Indians you say are beasts but how come they are the ones that keep coming in to grow our economy (1). The answer is that they always produce results for the owners. This should be a wake up call for us young Nigerians to look inwards. We are just too carefree and do work hard to bring about real results; imagine even local football clubs are resorting to foreign based coaches and the results are there to see e.g. heartland FC (2).Customer care is really not for graduates, that is the truth and there are many other jobs like that where primary school holders can function with computer knowledge but in Nigeria we have reduced everything to university graduates with 2.1. (3)[/b]In summary the problem lies with us, if we did our homework well the matter of the Indians or Chinese would never arise but [b]lets give it to these guys - they are hardworking and work like machines (4).

Only God knows what they use their money for.

lol . . .they use it on naija babes

It is such a sad story that Indians are treating Nigerians this way and the govt is just looking at them. I have been followining what is happening in Airtel for some time now starting from the Abuja strike. It is imperative to know that there have never ever been a time since GSM came that a strike like this would be happening. Now Airtel has taken over from Zain and everyday there seem to be one problem or the other. I would advise the workers to stage a protest to the National assmbly in Abuja, because right now it seems even the NLC has failed them. It is high time the Nigerian govet rise up to this occasion. Indians cannot come and dehumanise our citizens here in Niegria. If they cannot meet up with the working standards as it is then they should pack their bags and go. Everywhere you go where Indians are employers of labour the complains is always the same and yet the govt does not want to take action on this. My friends the only way is to cry out to the National assembly, down tools and let the whole world know that you guys are not been treated well. We are all solidly behind you.

As for the poster that said indians are not animals. It is either you are an indian or you have never had reason to work with these people.

Dis guy you don come again abi. Always out to justify the crazily high tariffs you and your sick employers have imposed on nigerians. Try and read the article again and see the real reasons why the psychos want to effect the salary slash. Dont be deceived. Its not because they need to survive.

As such, call Centre Agents that have since the last two years earned N74,070 would now earn N29600; ‘Junior’ supervisors that have earned N180,000 would now earn N72,000 and some Assistant Managers that have earned N240,000 would now earn N96,000 per month!!!! Imagine Airtel ‘needing’ to survive after a $10.7 billion takeover of Zain, the highest ever trans-continental transaction
Now, with N29,600, how would Call Centre Agents, for instance, pay house rents that range between N80,000 and N450,000 in Lagos and Abuja, buy food, tend to their respective families/friends’ needs then clothe themselves. Seemingly, this is highly IMPOSSIBLE with the newly proposed Airtel salary structures. A corper, for intstance would earn as much as an Airtel Call Centre agent.
