I swear, eyes don see. I just dey look ppl dey call all those Chinese, Lebanese, Indian guys different names as if the ones wey we dey do ourselves sometimes no pass. The issue with most of those people is that, that's how they work without rest even in their own country, reasons some top companies like Dangote prefer to bring them in to their companies. Although some of them may be intentionally wicked as well.

But u see our own people that are incharge here, they are soooo selfish, callous and insensitive. They don't give a Bleep about any other person aside themselves. You would only see one out of a thousand Nigeria administrator or boss that is good (not surprised, cos most of them get up there through dubious ways). It's so pathetic.
Imagine working 60 hours a week and one head of operations would still be asking you to join meeting on your off days, in person oo.

You are also expected to join some impromptu and other departmental meetings at least once a week. This is a shift job where you might run night shift or work 24 hours non-stop, even those that are not running night shifts hardly sleep sometimes cos of workload. The level of insensitivity of the woman who's the head of operations and the CEO is second to none. They are typical users that also see themselves as God that must be worshipped.

If you take sick leave and exceed it for just one day, you will be given query. How many days are there in the sick days sef? One person carrying the workload of 6 people, to employ more people as the company grows is always a problem because of their own selfish reasons. They don't care if you die, in fact, what do you call beasts that expect you to always work round the clock without a single break...are they not killers?

Someone politely seek salary increment and got fired. Plenty things to talk about, coupled with the toxic politics among the operations manager and the other team leads left, right and centre. I'm talking about Apex Network, they trade gift cards and crypto.

Run for your life once you here that stupid company so you don't die like a chicken someday.

I've actually had three experiences...

The first was in 2015 , I was working but I had issues with the job and wanted to get a job Before leaving, this was before I knew anything about the called GNLD, I called them to find out about it and a man told me to come to their office for the "interview".

When I got there and listened to their cock and bull story, I asked them where the factory is and they then told us that it's actually a marketing job, while showing us pictures of people who were sponsored by the company to Dubai... After a while, I discovered that it was a sham and left....

The second time was in 2017 when an old classmate of mine who told me that it was an "free empowerment seminar", I had rushed there hoping to maybe learn a small skill for a minimal amount... When I reached there only to discover that it was GNLD with the usual stories, I just stopped by the door and left and told the hungry looking manager that I wasn't interested.

The third time was actually out of boredom, when I never knew that the job adverts on Facebook were shams. I went to attend what they said was actually a "hotel job interview" only for me to reach there and see the usual stories... I simply played along and even wrote their fake exams, then some hungry looking guy came out and introduced himself as the director wearing an expensive looking suit (which looked obviously borrowed)... He came and gave us a mind blowing speech about how he is making millions and we can do the same and when he asked if any of us wants to leave , I got up and left (which really shocked him since he felt he's got everyone by his lies).
I just pitied the people that remained, Because they don't even know that it's all a sham.


Just very few private companies in Nigeria are worth it, Some of them, you are at the "whims and caprices" of the CEO. A few actually trying the best they can and others it's a big NO for me.

Let me add this one.

I got a job (through referral) in a production company as a production assistant; owned by Chinese. You are to resume duties by 7 a.m. and close by 7 p.m.; in other words you resume Before Dawn and close after dusk from Monday to Saturday.

Before I get to my workspace I pass through three layers of security checks with the three gate and doors as thick as a money vault.

Brothers and sisters I spent three months working there without having a chance to apply for any other job. Sundays been the only day you are chanced will be occupied with doing your laundry and other personal things you couldn't achieve from Monday to Saturday.

I advised myself that in order to retrieve my life, I ought to take a bold step by resigning and realigning my career.

All for 30,000 naira monthly wage, I spend a whooping transportation cost of 12500, with 17,500 naira balance left to build my dream empire. 😂

Memory lane in 2013

Contrary to the stereotypical reviews about Chinese harsh work ethics and gross insubordination to their employees which is true by a large percentage, these set of Chinese where somehow different. I got to find out they were Taiwanese which explains all.

I worked in a company where the CEO is the accountant, Engineer, production manager,HR and infact he does everything by himself because he doesn't believe you the staffs can do better,most of the procurement done in the company are done in secrecy,the salary is so poor,u worked overtime in most cases but no emoluments for it,spent good 6& half years there as a graduate oo my salary no enter 50k but yet u get threatened and being insulted at a slightest mistake and even when he make mistakes by himself and to make the matter worse this man is an area pastor in redeemed.we make money in millions for the company but our boss will be saying there is no money and sometimes sef he will say God hasn't told him to spend the money made by the company yet.i can go on and on and the company is owned by an ijebu man

I managed an hotel at surulere. A very good location with less standard rooms and very little customers when i resumed as the superviso/manager.

I am a very simple and godly person and as such, i can work with little staff and push lots of work in less time as i make sure my guys are okay evn with the little pay from the hotel owner.
I make sure monies are resides on the sides to compensate, get dinner for my guys and I, and also weekend bonuses.

But then a woman would always be a woman.

The owner died and one of his son visited Naija and started dating one of my receptionist and u know when ladies feel they sleeping with the boss, they did auditing and found out a shortage of 70k and she the receptionist told him the son i take some amount of money for personal use.

Iv been the one doing normal accounting as its a small hotel like that.

My point am driving at is when u at the top, have some form of strictness, and dont open up with your guys too much as they can become betrayals cuz of money.

My story is going to be long and the experience is far from pleasant

I worked for Fouani NIgeria Limited, the customer service department.
The manager is Lebanese, most will think this is enough justification for the way he acts but all other deartments in the company(that I know of) all have Lebanese managers but their story is so different from ours aside from the general issue of not giving employment/appointment letters, most these complaints is peculiar to that department of the company

Our manager does not allow any form of interaction amongst worker as you can be terminated for turning your head in the office, as in say you just turn neck o. Someone was terminated for laughing after office hours, work don close o and baba say the guy laugh and the next day na termination straight. Your job security depends on his mood, as he might just decide to terminate you with the excuse of 'we dont want you anymore'

Approval of leave is at his mercy, I can remember a staff, although she was due for 1 week leave, this man denied her despite the fact that this lady was seriously ill, he made her come to work even with the drip connected to her body as he told her she will be terminated if she doesnt work. This lady fainted twice at work that day and had to choose her life by resigning.

This is just one of the many cases of staffs that were terminated because they were absent from work because of illness even after informing he resumed with a medical report after being unable to come to work for 2 days and in this man's word "sorry, you can go home and rest. You will see your salary at the end of the month" That was the end of it.

This man has made the work environment so toxic and it is not strange to see staffs crying after leaving his office as he talks to staffs as if Nigerians are lesser humans, he called a teamlead a slut and accused her of sleeping with her team members because she does not deduct staff break, he threatened Samiat and promised to destroy her because the young lady wanted to quit and go for her youth service.

This man makes it his office policy to to limit staffs restroom usage to 7 minutes, anything beyond this can get you break deductions, warning letters and even termination. Whereas he who sets the rules spends 30 minutes in the restroom (You and I know that no one can control nature).

A Muslim staff was terminated for dosing during ramadan(this man na muslim o, and he prays 5 times daily) and so many others that I can't mention all that have face similar cases on a daily basis. He employs today and terminate tomorrow with a reliable reasons. There is a post on nairaland as far back as 2020 about this man.

Work time is Monday to Saturday 7:50AM to 5:30PM with no visible compensation for working overtime instead he tells you he is doing you a favor and you will get as much as 5,000 deducted from your salary which is more than double of our daily income.

Staffs break are deducted x3 of the minutes they came late to work despite the fact that their salaries will be deducted for same reason. I heard they protested against that recently and the break deductions has been stopped and replaced with more salary deductions for being late 1 minute past the resumption time of 7:50am, not even a grace period of 10minutes.

I made a more detailed post some weeks back on this man, e no easy at all.

If you have an advice for the people still there and know of a way for these ill to be corrected, please reach out and drop your comments as every bit of info here has evidence to back it up

But how and why do you guys put up with all this nonsense in the first place?

Does it mean that you guys have got ZERO options with regards to where to find work?

How much is the beast of a man even paying for people to be putting up with such nonsense?

I just can't understand why some people will be okay with being treated as slaves, even in their own country.

airsaylongcome:


I am not justifying delayed salaries or whatnot, but in my little experience, staff often incorrectly assume a lot. That there is an inflow of cash does not mean that there is cash liquidity in the business. That credit receipt you guys have seen may have already been spent before it even came in. Overdue invoices or credit purchases may have already finished the money before una see the inflow
