Hardly ever carry cash but lost $1k to a dodgy forex trader. Won't ever repeat that mistake.

Man, this is at your own risk. Awoof dey run belle o. I find it hard to believe that original WD hard drive will be sold for 6k. Something isn't right. If it's too good to be true, it usually is,
NYSC / Re: Which Institution Offers The Highest Salary For Nysc Workers by Phony200(m): 8:31am On May 23, 2011
OP, even if i tell you their salaries, have you considered what it takes to work in such firms? Have you considered that it's better to collect 10k and learn millions than earn millions and be kicked out after your service year?

Politics / Re: "We Are Not Slaves" -Coca-Cola Pay Nigerian Day-Workers $2.60 Per Day? by Phony200(m): 10:55pm On May 18, 2011
Ismile:

One thing those guys working there did not tell you is that they are entitle to a daily meal which is even more than the pay of $2.6 they are collecting.
No sir. A plate of rice with one meat is not worth 400 naira and not all casuals end up eating.

They are also provided with detergent for washing their uniform.
No Sir. That doesn't happen on all the lines. definitely not in Plant B. They can wash yes, but they source for detergent themselves to wash their work clothes, less than half have the check uniform for casuals.

They are provided with Bus to convey them from home to work and back to their various locations

They are entitle to be treated in the clinic for minor ailment, sickness, immunization, vaccination, free medical advisories, blood pressure, sugar level etc But not bottle cuts and other more serious injuries without a note from the safety office which most of them avoid due to issues later on/

And some other benefits not mentioned here. Nothing comes to mind except free drinks sometimes at the drinking spot and on the lines. That's not exactly a benefit

If you add up all these benefits or using Nigeria language of monitization, you will see that it will be more than what some permanent staff are collecting in other companies with same job.

I agree that the amount looks small and needed review but, note that:

They are hired by a Labour contractor who supplied them to Coca Cola. Thus, they do not have any obligation with Cocacola but with their employer.

If they think the amount is too small, they can form a union and demand for better pay from their employer (which is the third party labour contractor). The Labour contractor will in turn discuss it over with Coca Cola and the issue will be resolved.

If they are not satisfied with the resolution, they can simply quit.

Just the little I know on this issue.



The whole casual staffing was outsourced simply to take away the responsibility from them and blame it on the supplier who i won't name. That;s the excuse. Same with the forklift operators which is the reason why they are aso incorrigible too. I'm not saying they are bad people but a company that needs to send all casuals home when they have foreign visitors from CCHBC definitely has something to have. I've seen people collapse, not once, not twice from the stress of debulking or sorting. Something has to be done. I agree with you that casuals have a chance at further employment that it's into contract staff roles which are nearly as bad too.
Forum Games / Re: What's Bothering You Right Now? by Phony200(m): 1:50pm On May 18, 2011
Worried about whether I'd get retained after my service. An outgoing corper's been troubling my mind with bad news. Worried about whether I'd see my girlfriend this weekend if she comes to Lagos. Worried about proposals I'm supposed to do which are above my job scope or experience. Worried about how to fulfill so many obligations with my allowi and salary. Lol, e don do. That felt good. Nice thread.

Man of the Race goes to Webber. In a sport where overtaking can be so hard, I can believe he made up 15places! Two more laps and he'd have caught Vettel too. Great race. The new tires and all means strategies are not yet finetuned to complete understanding by the teams. However, with the new rules, it's going to be a very FUN reason to watch.

What a waste. If she's in Nigeria, it'll be difficult for her to face her charges, not sure she'll be caught to face extradition. However, what she can't run away from is herself and the ghosts of what she's done.

^^^ It's annoying how Man Utd related issues always get blown out of proportion. I still maintain that what irks Man City fans the most about their loss at OT is that they had absolutely no one and nothing to blame (Unless maybe Rooney for excessive use of footballing skills) grin grin. the FA knows better than to raise silly issues with Sir Alex. Until video technology is introduced, most of the inconsistencies will continue to be a part of the game.
