You will be surprised to know that it's the Nigerian who are superior who made those rules.... I know some foreigners are cruel, especially the Indians, Chinese, Pakistani and Lebanese, but in most cases, the Nigerians who are opportunned to work closely with them are the ones who brings most of the policies that doesn't favour their fellow countrymen...

Thats very true, there all those foreigner can't pull such except the Nigerian people around them say so, there is one wood processing company in ogun state, the Chinese man mark 50k as minimum payment per month as per the role you are engaged in, but put a Nigerian man in the helms of employment, this man will employ any one and tell you your salary is 35k until you can work for a year before you can earn the 50k with the Chinese out of the discussion

Not all Lebanese companies I'll treat their worker's. A very close relative of mine works for one such company and she is still there till date for the past 15 years. The company provides full first grade healthcare insurance for her and her whole family even fully footing the bill for the 3 C- SECTION operations she underwent to have her kids, I am talking of (#1 million) for each. Salary is good and they have never owed for once
where is the company at

Visit factories in Sango otta, you would cry for humanity. People are truly suffering in the hands of those people. During lockdown i worked with a pipe factory and left the work same day when they almost kee me with rrubish works upon 1k pay. Someone gave me a slot in a factory in Agbara, i met with the oga at the top, she interviewed me and pegged my salary at 35k, i looked her in the two eyes and said I can't collect it as a supervisor o.
I run a car wash business now(not my own). The day we didn't have much sales is when i go home with 4k. I do make 10k upwards daily in run hours.
People should open their eyes and stop being used

The way some of these foreign companies exploit Nigerians with aid of some individual/government officials who brought them to the country is really bad.

Some government officials needs to be stoned to death...

You can not only collect bribe from them to come to the country to invest and completely enslaved the contract workers.

I went through this just this week. Just like the OP said. Got employed at Olam Foods located at marine bridge. They manufacture noodles (Cherie noodles) and Seasoning. I was taken to the production unit by a supervisor (a Nigerian) who does his supervisory role like it's his father's company. A very mean and stern looking guy. My role: keep lifting and loading 50kg bags of flour unto a machine with a conveyor for how much? 1200 naira paid, not daily but at the end of the month working from 7am to 7pm with 1hour break in between from Mondays through Sundays. I started on the first day and broke down with blisters on my hands. I complained to the supervisor and he told me there is always a first day complaint, I should get to work. I tried but honestly couldn't go on, then I complained again and told him I am bleeding from those blisters already. He then asked me to show him the blood or I should go home if I don't want to work. I made my way to the cloak room(where workers change from mufty to factory wears) then another supervisor (a superior one) asked where I was going to and I explained everything. He then sent for supervisor that sent me home to show me the way to the clinic and not sending me home and change me to packaging unit. It was at the packaging unit that I saw hell from him. He picked on me and made sure I did every extra job that others left undone. He made me stay until a few minutes to 8pm when almost every one in our shift had gone by 7pm. When I closed and reached home, my body got aches all over and my brother advised me not to go again because I might break down. As a graduate since 2014 this is my story. It is brief but a sad side of Nigeria happening to us. Lebanese head the company, but our fellow Nigerian supervisors are the ones putting people on the edge. I still have aches all over my body till now, two days after I stopped work. The government really need to rescue Nigerians from these oppressive companies.

I have actually worked in there for some days many years ago. That factory is another kind of hell fire honestly.

Stood for complete 12hrs all through and when I was going home in the evening the same trouser I wore in the morning wouldn't fit me anymore even with the belt grin

The greatest problem or obstacle to black liberation has not even been the pink or Arab race: it has always been the black house nieggers.
The house nieggers is who Fela Kuti called " Vagabonds in Power". They have no fear of God, do not love Mother Alkebulan ( Afrika) , and will sell their ppl for cheap.
Just like the black slave traders of the 19th century.

The house nieggers must be removed By All Means Necessary.

And one same Nigerian will be doing this kind of job in america with an hourly wage of 15$ per hour and only work 40hours a week and if you decide to work extra hours you get paid double for it and you open your mouth it called slavery in America. So you doing this in Nigeria for a whole day for just 1$ and 50cent what do you call this in Nigeria.

Awon suffering and smiling citizens
No wonder politicians use and dump us cause majority of Nigerians don’t have common sense.

I hope ppl can still remember how hundreds ( I presume) of Nigerians were burnt to death on a Chinese or Lebanese factory btw 2006-2009; when the supervisors locked the workers in the factory; happened around Lagos.


Does anyone remember,.and can remind us?
