I acknowledge that our safe journeying
is a function of God's grace and mercy but I've also had an encounter with Peace Mass that made me swear off using their services. I travelled to Ibadan and on my way back, I found that only Peace Mass had buses going East. Before then, I wasn't crazy about them but my experience with them strengthened my resolve. First, the guys at the park were UNBELIEVABLY rude, like, they were offering their services to me for free...mtcheeeew. I paid, prayed and got on the bus. You needed to see the way the driver was driving like a maniac. At some point, I was nodding off when I was suddenly jerked awake. It happened that the driver had swerved to avoid running into a stationery tanker. On another occasion in the course of the journey, oga driver was trying to overtake a trailer carrying rods while another trailer was coming in front at full speed. This trailer kept flashing his lights in warning and this wonderful Peace Mass driver squeezed between the trailer carrying rods and another in front of it. When I got to my stop and got off, I thanked God for His mercy and said GOOD BYE to Peace Mass...forever. There is speeding and there's reckless driving. But speeding and reckless driving is just an uncalled for invitation for Nigerian roads to perfect an already ticking recipe for disaster.

I think Linguistics has written has done the departmental test. I'm not sure though. I will have to find out from someone who applied for it.

Please do you know what the test entailed? And, was it theory or CBT?

HigherEd:
I am not sure if this is legal. It doesn't sound so. I think you should just lawyer up. But only do that if you have found a new job. Good luck.

Also consider mailing the education commission of the church over this matter. They are on the 4th floor of Covenant university senate building.

@ HigherEd

The problem with mailing the EC on this matter is that these stipulations came FROM the EC.

dadalicious:
Make I teach you small,
If you leave without due process,
That is-
1. You signed a bond that you would not leave before a stipulated time.
2.you stole from the organisation and was sacked.
3.you resigned without giving 1month in lieu of notice,
the organisation has the right to collect their contributions to you
But if
1.you were dropped from work legitimately
2.you die(God forbid)
3.you retire at the stipulated retirement age.
The organisation can't and won't deduct the contributions.
However having a job in Nigeria is a miracle my dear.
Most organisations don't even have HMO or pension plan.
Dem go just give you your pay and that's all.
If that is not your last bustop, make sure you give your employerproper notice of resignation.never resign without due process.
Severance pay is also on your basic not your gross.
Except your employer is magnanimous

@ dadalicious

I resigned properly and gave the requisite one month notice.
There was no bond of any sort at the point of entry.
Bros, to steal from this organisation, you have to be either an account personnel or an I.T person. Ordinary teachers don't have access to their money even though we know how much comes in.
If as you said, the severance package is calculated based on the basic salary....hm. Basic salary in Faith Academy is 18k....at least at the time I was employed. It's the other stuff they add on that beefs it up to something worth considering. As at the time I left, there was some noise being made about the need to increase the salary. I mean, the least fees per session for each student is at least almost half a million. And in my branch, there are over 900 students. But how come the deductions (taxes and pension) are made on the gross salary if the severance is supposed to be based on the basic? Isn't tax supposed to be P. A. Y. E? As at the time I resigned, my gross salary was 70k (I think, after 5 years of service) but I was taking home 64.4k net salary. How do you explain this? Oh. Did I also forget to mention that their operational manual dictates that the severance benefit is calculated as the staff's gross pay at the time of exit multiplied by the number of years of service?

dbestuncle:
Kindly, answer the following questions pls.
1.
Pls Is this the same faith academy owned by living faith church with branches all over Nigeria?
2. Are ur staff unionized as expected by law.

3. what is the percentage taken for ur contributory pension for both the employee n employer side.

pls note that a visit to the school may not be very helpful if we don't have facts n ur name or branch is not what I mean by fact.

In such visit the Organization knows the law n will do everything to cover it so provide as much information as u remember.

Our law exist though very weak but frowns at wickedness. Slavery of fellow citizens.

@ dbestuncle

1. Yes, it is the same Faith Academy owned by Living Faith Church.

2. No, the staff isn't unionised as the management frowns at any kind of union, association or group within the organisation. Any act or action contrary to managerial stipulations is regarded as insubordination and would lead to a dismissal. The reason I could bring up this issue is because I recently resigned from the organisation. Else..... A lot of members of staff are suffering and smiling there. They're subject to a lot of oppression but cannot challenge the system because they need the job.

3. I can't even tell you how much is being contributed because they NEVER give payslips. I have only received payslips twice in the five years I worked there.

SammieRexx:
They do not actually owe salaries and even this entitlement is usually paid within three months of termination of appointment. All of these is happening now cuz of the new sets of persons brought in to pilot the affairs of the school. It's really disheartening. Papa himself is not aware of all this. The fact is the salary is poor, the HMO and even condition of service changes from time to time

@ SammyRex

I don't know where you served, but I can categorically tell you that I've been owed salaries for up to three months. In fact, I was recently owed salaries for the July, August and September. I was paid for July at the end of August and paid for August and September at about last week or so.

uboma:
This is robbery from your employer.

Have someone external send a mail to your employer, warning against their planned move to deduct their contributions towards the staff pension from the severance package, put Pencom in copy of this email.

Please, I'd like to know how to go about this?

SoftBall:
The same Faith Academy under Living Faith ministries?
The severance package after putting in over 15 years is N300,000 How much is your salary if i may ask.

I have heard the gist from staff working under their other banners ie Covenant University, Living Faith etc their salaries are terrible. University graduates are offered less N50,000 (net) with no other form of benefits/bonus (apart from 13th month and leave allowance which is roughly around the same amount) not for janitorial jobs oo, for jobs in professional capacities.

Same story no HMO, no bonus for professionals under these their sister organizations. Most people turn down their jobs especially their own graduates, imagine being offered a job paying less N50,000 (net) per month after graduating from their school whose tuition is over N1 million per session with no other significant entitlement, in 2019 for that matter. That’s why some of their staff take any illegal opportunity they can get to profit.

This is not to bring the organization to disrepute, I want to believe their authorities are not aware of this eye-sore or rather shameful remuneration/benefit system they run.

They should please do something about it, I don’t even want to imagine my enemy working and retiring as a professional (accountant, HR, auditor, lawyer etc) under this their system. He/she would have “nothing” to fall back on. Terrible.

Cc: Lalasticlala, Mynd44, HigherEd, CodeTemplar

@ Softball.
Yes, it's the same Faith Academy. The 300k isn't for those who've worked up to 15 years. The severance package is calculated as the staff's salary at the time of retiring/resignation multiplied by the number of years put into service. At the time of my employment, I was placed on a salary scale of 63k (gross salary) and took 57k (net salary) after tax and pension deductions. I heard though that the salary may have been reviewed downwards in recent times. This new development is going to affect most, those who have put in long years in their service.

Please I would like the opinion of someone with knowledge of labour law on this matter.


I work with the Faith Academy Network of Schools. I have been here for five years. In this time, there has been no form of staff welfare whatsoever. No HMO, no bonuses. However, we are paid for leave and granted a two-week leave in the year. These are of no issue to me because I was consoled by the fact that the organisation had stipulated at the time of my employment, that she would pay a severance benefit at the end of my service period with them. This severance benefit is calculated as one's gross pay multiplied by the number of years spent in the organisation.
Recently, a new development has come up. This development allows that the organisation would deduct the amount she has contributed to a staff's pension fund from the total amount of his/her severance package and pay the difference. For example, if a staff was due N300, 000 as severance package, the organisation would deduct whatever she has contributed to the staff's pension fund since he/she began to work there. Rather than pay N300, 000, she would pay the difference of the pension contributions. I would like this to be taken up as there are a lot of staff who have put in up to 15 years of their time with the hope of retiring on the severance benefits. I wish to know if this is legal. Added to this is the fact that some of those who resigned since last year, have not been paid up till now. Is this the order of things?

Logobenz:
I've never read an amazing piece of well compounded nonsense in my life.
Where did you study?

Who's this one? Are you a woman? How can you, a man, know about how a woman feels or don't feel? She has a really valid point. Build yours without tearing hers down. That's respect.

roshyb:
Good evening nairalanders, please, only one out of the three referees that I stated has gotten the mail and submitted d referee report. I have re-resent the mail countless number of times all to no avail.
Now, I tried to change the referees but it keeps displaying 'done'.
What do I do, please help.

Also, Is there a whatsApp group for applicants in the Chemistry department? If yes, kindly add me.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response
08066755270 is my whatspp number

Keep resending. It happened to me, although I applied earlier. I had to keep resending over and over until they were able to get the link.

crusader6:
someone should help pls

There's a glitch in the system currently, I think you can take advantage of. It keeps saying "Data modification active", some hours after submitting the application. Check your page later and go straight to "Upload documents". You should be able to upload your documents. If it doesn't work.... Well. That would be that.

Jeniluv:
Nobody is forcing you mbok!

This is the attitude that give employers the reason to treat employees as they wish. "Nobody is forcing you". Smh.

Olu3939:
I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe the figures mentioned in your post. A school charging 350k and paying the teachers 30k? That sounds far-fetched. Please name the school and we can follow up. If you do not wish to drop the name here, private chat me. I'm interested in knowing the school. I run a school where the fees is from 24k - 60k and I pay more than that! Besides, I think young education graduates should form cooperative societies, rent a building from their NYSC year savings, and start their schools rather than fighting greedy proprietors over their schools.

I teach in one of the known education establishments with branches all over the country. In my branch of the school, students pay as high as over 500k in a session. The population of students is over 900. Guess what? ALL members of the teaching staff earn 60k...even MSc holders. As a matter of fact, the management said that as far as the system is concerned, upgrading your educational qualifications is for yourself and is not recognised by them. We work ROUND the year and only get two-weeks' leave in August (which isn't even definite; it could be taken away at the whim of the "Ogad at the Top" and one week in December...for a teaching job o. Add these to the constant threat of one's job! Do you want to know how the non-teaching staff are treated? They're asked to resign at the end of every term and reapply in the new term just so they aren't paid during the holiday.

Timini95:
This is d outcome of my courtesy enquiries abt ur issues:
1. Maiden problem will be redressed itself soon....it is an encryption error
2. Discrepancy is mostly caused by many applicants but once ur form is submitted, it will be corrected or if u have not submitted ur form, don't be panic, it will soon disappear
3. Field of study should be relevant to first degree related course, otherwise one may find it difficult to submit
4. Referees attestations: once u have sent them notification, u should wait till they respond, do not resend several times...network may cause delay at times. Also, some email addresses might have been entered wrongly... u re to cross check to ascertain it right
5. Once u have paid bf d closure on August 28, u can't be affected wt N5k penalty on late application or registration online
6. Size of ur documents during uploading may deter its success...so check them and upload them again till they are succeeded... to include ur passport photograph & signature
7. You're not required to fill in d test of proficiency in English column....just skip it and move to next step
8. Ensure ur referees are aware of ur application bf u use them and tell them immediately after submission so that they can give their valid approval of ur candidacy... Don't use nonacademic staff pls
I hope this will help.

Thanks a lot... This means so much.

porsia:

Oh ! Thank you so much! You've given me hope. I've been frantic about this what with the said deadline. I hope they rectify it fast. Thank you for responding. Please if there's a new development, let me know. Thanks again.

porsia:
Hi, the "Referral link" method u explained to Me in d morning didn't work out. My sister's referees are still saying d same thing after trying that method..they got d message but No link to click even after dey have tried reporting as "not spam".. What else do u suggest since deadline is in 2 days..Its very frustrating >:

Please how did you resolve this issue? One of my referees is complaining of a similar problem.

dannyel:
i called the IT unit they said the error is from them. it is going to be resolved soon.

Please can you send me the IT unit's number? One of my referees can't access the referral link.

Please and please, someone help me! My referee is saying he can't find the link. I referred what someone suggested here to him but he said he still can't find it. Is there another way to go about this? Please I beg you...

Top of the morning to everyone.

Please, is it normal that the eligibility status should indicate "Not Eligible" at this time? Is it until the TPE? I also didn't see the transcript label which we're supposed to attach to the transcript. Please, anyone with answers should respond.

I'd also like to join the WhatsApp group. Someone please help me with the link/number. Thanks....

SamNeds:
Applicants can try the Direct Debit From Bank Option....
Forget the Debit/Credit card. After so many trials on Debit/Credit card, i used the direct debit from bank and the payment went through once

I tried this o. Several times in fact. It didn't work. Once I got to the page where I'm sent the OTP, the page goes blank. I tried reloading the page but it didn't come back up. Someone please help!

dayowunmi:
The online payment platform seem to be down. I was told haven't been working for a while. I had to print invoice and pay cash at bank. Am afraid, till its back working, u may have to generate invoice at bank and then go and pay the money in cash. The profile ish is really annoying. Had to create 2 new emails cos the profiles seemed timed. If u don't make payment soon after opening it. It may stop working. Dunno who came up with such ridiculous idea.

Wait.... What?! So, by implication, I'll have to open a THIRD email? I've been trying to pay online since Friday to no avail. I decided to wait until Monday. Now this. It is well o.

The ambassadors Ota is collecting cv online for Maths and English teachers. visit www.theambassadorsschools.com

Please what's their pay like? Plus attitude to staff? My current employer has no regard or value for staff and their welfare, regardless of your experience or how much effort you put in your job. I'd rather not jump from the frying pan into the fire.

The comments here are funny. If you have studied child psychology, you will understand that this Jubril boy is revolting. All the afore-mentioned actions seem VERY deliberate and calculated to me. He most likely does not want to be in that school but was forced to go along with someone else's plans for him. He most likely wanted to get expelled. You'd be surprised to find, if he's tested, that he wasn't on any drug.

openmine:
Please don't turn this into a gender war....this is about a personality and not gender!
....what is wrong is wrong and must not be sugarcoated to sound right!

First of all,whats flirting?
Flirt:
Behave as though sexually attracted to someone

Flirting is a social and sexual behavior involving verbal or written communication, as well as body language, by one person to another, either to suggest interest in a deeper relationship with the other person, or if done playfully, for amusement.


My issue is....why flirt when she is supposedly in a relationship?
If she is having an issue or misunderstanding with the bf or partner,she should have a heart to heart convo with him rather than flirting with "other guys" thereby giving them reasons to believe she is available!
If she wants to flirt,let her quit the relationship and do as she pleases....rather than flirting and still holding on to her relationship!


Just because others are doing such does not imply that everyone is into it!
Not every lady flirts and not all guys flirt!
But that should not be an excuse to flirt.....
Flirting no matter the reason is totally unacceptable no matter the gender involved!
What if during one of her flirtatious activities,she falls for one of the guys and the next thing is to cheat on her man!
As for you advocating for the OP's gf....i have a question for you....what will be your reaction if you mistakenly saw a flirty chat between a random lady and your supposed bf or what will be your response if you physically met your partner or bf flirting with a babe?


Not every lady flirts and not all guys flirt!
But that should not be an excuse to flirt.....
Flirting no matter the reason is totally unacceptable no matter the gender involved!



As much as i may toe your path of caution by sitting his woman down for discus,i don't think such lady would want a heart to heart discus!
If that was what she wanted,she would have communicated her feelings to him and not engage in flirtatious activities!
And what makes you think she will stop having her chats when the guy poses the marriage question? smh
What you do in a relationship is directly proportional to what you will do in your marriage!

OpenMine, I must say I'm impressed with the way you took the time to dissect and reply to every segment of my response.
First of all, this isn't a gender thing; merely stated facts.
Secondly, while you're bashing the OP's girl, do you know all the sides to this story?
Thirdly, you heard about 'benefit of the doubt', abi?
Again, please, I didn't say the OP should ask his girl to marry him, with all the problems in the air. I said he should talk with her and observe her....BEFORE he pops the question.

srclark:
So ? Thank God you said girlfriend not wife if you want her for yourself do the needful (MARRY HER) I see no reason why a woman would flirt around if you are ready and serious about marrying her so what happens to her if she puts all her hope in you and at the end of the day you dont marry her abeg abeg oga if it is not cool with you move ahead wahala no dey dat one

Let me ask:
If your girl caught you out cheating on her and you really love her but it's one of those things that 'just' happen, as they say, would you expect her to forgive you and take you back?

I'm surprised at most of the advice being generated on this thread. Or should I say I'm not, since majority of the advisors are guys. I'm sure I'd the OP had been female, the women folk would be advising the same. Let me ask a few pertinent questions:

1. Have you had a sit-down with her about this? What was her response?
2. Is she sexually or emotionally involved with any of those guys?
3. What is her stand with you?
4. Has she ALWAYS known the direction of your relationship?

You see, it's easy to make judgements and cast aspersions when you are on the other side of the fence. Many of us are guilty of flirting with the opposite sex on social media. But the moment a scapegoat is caught, everyone wants to throw a stone in the free-for-all. I am female and I'm advocating for this OP's girlfriend because nothing is always as it seems. Some of you, the guys here, advising the OP to 'throw' the girl out, have cheated on your girls, even fiancées, at some point. My take on this is: sit with her and have a heart to heart. Tell her how you feel about her actions. Then watch her. Keep the thought of marriage on hold for now until you can trust her. Love has never been easy. If you toss her out, who's to say the next won't be worse?

Was making smal smal notes while watching

OKEIMUTE-
rex lawson's highlife tune.
Always a delight on stage. Seen better from her tho but still great

See me so.
Very comfortable on stage, she is. Clearly born there. Her passion for performance is something else

KITAY
coolu temper
Never been crazy about the song. But I Love it now. Enjoyed his version better than lagbaja's. He killed it. Had to watch it twice. D guys got talent abeg.

Ikebe
Very entertaining. Impressed by how he performed without pressure. enjoyed himself up there. Holding his notes despite the stage antics.

ELIZABETH
agolo.
Too karaoke for me. Still alright. Got boring at some stage

Ijoya.
Took it back to the streets. Girl is a natural when it comes to that. Nice.

DAPO
- taxi driver.
Clearly been working on his performance on stage. nice. Still needs more vocal work

Shakomo.
Average. Forgot his lines. Recovered well. Weak vocals again tho

WINNER
You bad.
Not bad. Just there. Didn't bring anything extra but clearly she's performing without pressure now

Iyogogo
Average performance

PERE
Sweet mother.
It was lovely. Touching. D performance must have won him more fans, no doubt. Never seen Pere dat spirited before. Really came out of his shell. Probation na yeye thing o. And the love of a mother can move you do amazing things

Rosey.
Clearly the pressure is off. He's now at home on stage.

Nna mehn..! Without apologies, my best performances were from Pere, Lizzy and Kitay, in that order. @ luvmijeje, have you heard the original of that 'Rosy' song? Pere was totally on top of his game. His back up though, didn't follow through. Lizzy is only totally comfy with street songs. Been watching her and I think she's more of a rapper than a singer. Okiemute tried but I've seen better from her. Winner....that lady needs to learn to put on some groove in her performance na. Wetin happen? Dapo just dey do 'I follow come'. I've never been and still am unimpressed with him. What people see in him, I no understand.

For what position, biko? Do you just expect learned people to start getting touch with you without knowing why they should?
