See how far that guy has gone with the 500k. He is now worth millions

You can focus on your agbero job, you shouldn't have an opinion on something you know absolutely nothing about

Arostar2023:
It's not, depending on the "human" you served. You can have an MBA from Harvard, but a well trained nwa-boi will beat you hands down in "local" business. I have seen educated people that went into business, with huge capital, competing against the seemly illiterates in the marketplaces. Guess what? They lost out to those guys.

jaxxy:
Apprenticeship isn't all about the money they settle u at the end but also the knowledge of the business imparted into u and and connection given to u which can be more valuable than money.

TimeManager:
You can't convince me otherwise, I will still stand on my point that this apprenticeship is slavery. If you check am well, he fit dey do one kind corner-corner doings to help himself. "Making it this big" sounds like a pressure on him with the burden of a dad lying down with stroke partly as a result of how his son's boss treated his son. He has to be responsible for his dad's treatment and also start a business with a meagre 500k. A lot of these boys are into Yahoo, powder business, & other stuff.

I disagree. Even though I am not igbo I love the igbo apprenticeship scheme that is now an economic culture for them.appretincehip is someone allowing you to use his Buisness to gain experience for a couple of years and still pay you off after you get the experience and expertise. I mean that is a fair deal.

Meaning all the financial mistakes, pitfalls and ignorance that you will have done and used to destroy your own Buisness, you have learnt in running another person's Buisness. I mean if u look at it objectively the oga is doing the apprentice a favour because if you go to the university for 4years to study a course, will the university give you money to start up your own Buisness abi them go help you look for job?

It's because a lot of apprentice in nigeria have an exploitative mindset that's why they always want to cheat their oga at the end of the day short change themselves. Who are you doing ,your oga or yourself

Tightpussy2024:
I agree with the bolded because i saw a post that a man that did "boi" for his oga for 11 years was paid 100k.

But in the past it wasn't like this. 30 years ago,you could build a house or buy car with your settlement.infact after settlement they were big boys.

The thing is that, apart from how corrupt a lot of the ogas are,many are also stealing from them (which I will not blame them because they aren't sure of a fair settlement).

Me sha I personally believe that if someone served you loyally without betraying you all these years or arranging with robbers to rob your shop,pay them well,even of they "ate secretly" from your shop

mightyhaze:
One thing about this igbaboy that most people who are not into it do not understand is that igbaboy is like a spiritual and mental fortification process .. the money is more or less a capping.. Ordinary young school leavers that their parents beg and bring to my place just to keep them busy for some months while awaiting admission or youth service find themselves good footings in life ..some no even dey find job again sef after their service... How much more nwaboy that has undergone serious grilling and grounding in the biz. Somebody u have exposed to your customers,contacts and your suppliers..


A true trader..even if u take everything away but just leave his health and vigour intact will bounce back in a year... How much more a fresh young kid brimming with hunger ,ideas and zeal..


Thanks for proving this with this story u brought here

nobilie:
Igbo apprenticeship is what made igbos recover quickly after the Civil War. Apart from the small money given to the apprentice, he has been trained in business trading, network connections will guarantee him getting goods on credit. He already had customers on ground. In some cases, he gets linked up with the supplier of goods. No waste no loss

Tightpussy2024:
may your son be settled with 500k after "learning and apprenticeship" for 7 years.

Amen

MadamExcellency:
The real deal in the settlement is not all about the money but rather the experience, knowledge, endurance, contacts and connections established during the training. You can always come back a few years to settle your boss after doing business with his contacts and connections.

Nonexisting1:
Say what you know. The apprenticeship has been an age long way Igbos help each other out. After serving your oga, you will normally get settled with what you deserve except if your oga's financial situation deteriorated and in that situation, his blessings and the little money he gives you will go a long way. Look at that guy very well, don't you think he is the type that stole his oga money? Just like my stupid cousin that served his Anambra master finish and his oga simply asked him to use all the money he stole from him to settle himself. This one is even lucky that his oga gave him 500k.

zero8zero:
What kind of knowledge or skills are you teaching an apprentice for 7,8,9 years?. That's slavery.

Tightpussy2024:
So you will randomly accuse people of stealing to avoid settling them?
If he had a salesperson that he was paying monthly,will the salesperson not steal from him too and still be collecting his monthly salary?

If someone is a thief why not send him away?

The only way to rectify this nwa-boi system is to be paying yearly, but they want to keep you stuck under them that is why they insist it is until several years.

This ideology is what will make people flop their oga business or divert a lot of profits because they aren't sure that they will paid fairly.

30 years ago,nwa-bois built houses and bought cars with their settlement..does it mean they didn't steal or they were saints?

The system is spoilt now.

Maybe until they start unaliving their ogas,others will learn

Zionmdde:
Why would I explain that to someone like you who thinks it's all about fast fast, hurry hurry. You think these businessmen who have excelled in business learnt it for one day. Most of you spent 12 years in formal education with absolutely nothing to show for it.

zero8zero:
Abeg tell me na. In formal Education, we learn a variety of courses, even in secondary school, it's about ten, eleven different subjects. So, what are these boys learning for 7, 9,11 years?, how to buy and sell?. Those few examples you guys are always referring to did that before the advent of social media. Right now, you can do your business on social media without needing to tie down someone's life for 10 or 11 years.

TimeManager:
You can't convince me otherwise, I will still stand on my point that this apprenticeship is slavery. If you check am well, he fit dey do one kind corner-corner doings to help himself. "Making it this big" sounds like a pressure on him with the burden of a dad lying down with stroke partly as a result of how his son's boss treated his son. He has to be responsible for his dad's treatment and also start a business with a meagre 500k. A lot of these boys are into Yahoo, powder business, & other stuff.

zero8zero:
Are you joking?. How can you even compare a University education to an apprenticeship system of an informal nature. If you want someone to manage your business, who would you rather employ, a graduate or an nwa boy?

Everyone who learns a skill is about having the knowledge of it but doing that for 7years or more is just ridiculous.

Why are OSU pigs so senseless?

Everybody for nairalànd who doesn't agree or against must always be yorubæ?

Tightpussy2024:
Apprenticeship for 7 years?
Not one year or 6 months?
This is not just learning,it is using someone to do the work of a salesperson for you..let's assume the salary was 25. 25k ×84 months =2.1m.

Let's not forget the risk of typical come and go salesperson,that this nwa-boi saved him from.
Typically salary is meant to be increased yearly.

What if the business flopped under his care?

He should have paid him 2.1m. and if he served him loyally without stealing and the rest,he should have added jara

mightyhaze:
This your name get as e be o


That 500k case is one in a thousand case..perhaps the oga was damn broke or wicked or the guy bleeped up at some point...

One settlement I witnessed this January,the boy was given a full shop worth nearly 50m... For serving his master diligently for 9 solid years... A boy of 26 years..



How many 26 year olds are worth upto 10m


So u see, situations vary.. what about people that school upto masters degree and yet no work..

I even dey get doubt for that 500k story

mightyhaze:
A 15 year old boy with no experience in life and education upto jss3 will work and earn in a 'proper' company..lol. That 5 to 7 yrs he's getting grilled in the trade is the same 5 to 7 years u spend in the university before u come out and start carrying files and filed out footwears looking for a job,while the now 20 yr old former apprentice is now already a boss ,and ready to take in an apprentice of his own.


Secondly do u know that ogas house is all found? Oga takes care of the boys,teach Dem other skills like driving all kinds of vehicles, obtaining licences for them,sometimes passports n visas.. oga looks after the boys family to some extent..like rendering financial help to the parents n siblings,getting involved in any ceremonies like burials,weddings etc in tge family...sending bags of rice and money during festive periods to the apprentices family.. while as a worker in this your proper factory u look after yourself completely.. one bout of malaria/ typhoid or appendicectomy can even wipe out your 6 months savings ..and ur oga go still dey wan sack u for unproductivity for that period of your debility
