None, even at a price. You don't do that. The company once was your pillar
There is nothing bad in talking about the unscrupulous ways of a company as long as you don't mention the company's name.

This is one of the best threads of Nairaland. The MOD, who pushed this to the front page, the OP and those who have contributed so far are the real MVPs.

This is very unethical. I guess you have never worked for a good company before probably only mushroom pure water selling companies.

You don't do this for internet clout. It is very wrong. I see why employers carry out extensive background checks before putting people on their payroll. Pathetic.
Stop being sentimental. I suppose what triggered you was the word secret. How about you change it to "unethical"? Reading the contributions have opened the eyes of so many people.

If you're a business owner and you're shady, you need to desist.

I've worked as a housekeeper in a hotel if you know what we use the towels to clean you won't use them if you lodge 😌. We use to give people water from the pool to bath and we use to give used towel to another guest if you disturb us too much.
Why would anyone use a hotel towel in the first place?

I don't do that. Even if it's an emergency lodging. I'll just take my bath, rub cream and put on my boxers. Withing minutes my body would dry up.

What a country we live in!
When i say Nigeria can never get better because “Nigerians” are bad people and the problem, you say i am mincing words.

On this same tread, you see some people trying to discourage other from speaking up. All kinds of characters destined for hell, are in Nigeria.

Little wonder kidney failure is increasing among none alcohol drinkers in Nigeria
The so called soft drink they take are poison

Akalia:
One-time I worked as a quality assurance officer in a food and beverage producer- it was a practice back then to use expired raw materials (concentrates and flavors) to produce flavor and fruit drinks, in the bid to save cost.
I felt the pang of guilt been part of the system involved in compromising food safety, but I needed the job. I swallowed the guilt.

Diverse weights are an abomination to the LORD, And dishonest scales are not good.
Proverbs 20:23

2RightHands1Coc:
Tampered meter and weight, and most people don't even look at the Reading. You can never get your full 1kg. It also compensate for Gas leakage which happens during storage.

You still don't spill it. They are called TRADE SECRETS. Some companies can still come after you for it... I learnt this while I was working in a telecoms company.
Malpractices are not trade secrets
All I’ve read so far are malpractices

Most restaurants use expired or cheap groundnut oil to cook. Most palm oil have been mixed with dye.
Always better to buy fuel before afternoon. Fuel bought in the afternoon has a lot of gas or vapour in them.
It's better to buy and cook raw ingredients.Most ingredients in packages have a lot of chemical preservatives.
If you are a business person operating different kinds of business dealing with different clients it's better to have a law firm on yearly retainer ship and run every business transaction by them before execution. It's more expensive to pay a lawyer per case.
Most Nigerian girls are part time prostitutes, don't keep your relationship private. Ask questions and investigate deeply.

Always cheaper to buy plane tickets on Wednesday and well in advance. Most importantly subscribe to the airlines newsletters for promo fares.

Total rubbish is what they are selling to us as beverages and Nafdac approves them because of our nonsense economic situation.
I can tell you for free that the milo that was made in the late 90's and early 2000's is not and by a country mile cannot be compared to the shit the company is making now.
We don't even consume real milk in Nigeria. Something that is a staple in America and even here in Ghana.
When I tasted the Richoco made in Ghana I cried for the rubbish the same company made for us here in Nigeria.
I can 100% relate.
When I travelled to Ivory Coast and I tasted their Milk, coffee and other beverages, I was overwhelmed with rage. These manufacturers are killing us in Nigeria.
I pity children brought up in Nigeria they have never tasted anything good and original in their lives. Mine included.

Do you need anyone to tell you? Compare those things with what they used to be 20-25yrs ago. Our food regulatory body in this country is dead.
Any hope of Nigerians eating good packaged food died the day Prof. Akunyili left NAFDAC.
SON and the rest have been totally useless since day one.

Tomato paste has no tomato flavor or ingredients.. it’s all starch and coloring.


loan companies that are not registered cannot do anything to you, they can only call and threaten because they are also avoiding the government and some of them like where I used to work don't pay full tax.

Some of the big boys that order drinks in club from 1m nd above to impress people, pass the back door to return it to us and dash us small money😷.

You are legally entitled to sue a bank for up to ₦10 million if it unlawfully deducts even as little as ₦50 from your account, provided you have lodged a formal complaint with the bank and allowed the seven-day resolution period to lapse without redress.

Ammonia is added to the biscuit mixture.

STOP 🛑 buying plantains chips especially from those hawkers in traffic. They melt black rubber in the oil before frying the plantains. Their reason is that it makes the plantains chips hard to break after packaging it.. stay safe out there
Just wow!😮

Maybe I missed it just as you missed the "I guess" in my comment.

Furthermore, I'm still looking for why this post made it to frontpage of NL with so many post that makes sense herein.

This tomato's paste stuff is correct, that too I have heard its not only that they use startch, I even heard they use POTATOES and colourings. You know potatoes are sweet..and when u taste the finished product from this concoction its tastes so sweet in your mouth.
Ohhh who can save us from this scams?
Even before finding out about the raw materials used for making it, I just hated the idea of putting tomato paste inside jollof rice with no reason.....

Oga Sabinus, this is my humble counsel:
Take out the log in your own eye first before you attempt to take off the speck of wood in another.

A simple Google search will tell you the difference between FIFO & FEFO.

And that against your thought, there is actually a concept called FEFO which is FIRST EXPIRED FIRST OUT.... This is the inventory/warehousing concept that works on the principle of , push out the products with the earliest expiry first before any other.

Be quick to hear but slow to speak.

Iwota ?

Hi
Hamachi:
The iphone they sell in Nigeria are all repackaged. Explain to me how my Aunt bought a phone in Nigeria and it had issues and went to their shop abroad when she went for vacation for repair and it was a stolen phone.

Have you tasted some powdered beverages abroad? You will know the one they sell here in Nigeria, they are killing you slowly in Nigeria.
I can relate, I live abroad and the test of coke,fanta, Milo,milk and so on is very different

I was 'codedly' sacked from a school where I caught two students almost having sex at one of the staircases. From that day, the countenance of the director changed towards me. I was deployed to start teaching, since I was employed as a quality assurance officer initially.
Davoneskay:
If you are/were a teacher, you can relate with what I'm writing here.
Most time when students are caught having sex by the school authority, they are secretly scoulded/punished. They aren't reported to their parents/guardians.

Another one is that some staff of schools are pedophiles. In situations whereby a teacher is caught doing such with a student, he/she only gets sacked and the student gets counselled. The parents are not informed. Things dey happen abeg.

There's more that I know but it seems I'm only talking to myself. This thread don overstretch, hence, fewer viewers.

And in the morning, they moved back to the normal process.. Believe it,we are one of the best that always win the environmental friendly award and assessment in Nigeria..

It true about private Schools,Most dull students script are usually rewritten by the teacher especially objectives script,it can be manipulated by the teacher using Eraser and pencil but the theory part might not be manipulated to give a good score to the Students.

I spy on a cargo company, they put big rock 🪨 inside ur bag 🎒 to make ur stuff very heavy, so that you can pay more. and after they weigh and u make payment they remove the rock.

Someone currently work in a spices company… all they do is go to the market, buy in bulk from popular companies and fill in their bottles and seal with their logo and then sell to customers at higher prices 🙂😅… crazy how customers complement their spices saying it’s the best not knowing it’s the regular one in the market thats just rebranded 😆

Most noodles we eat are expired and it only gets repackaged.

worked at a skincare company,,we used one lotion with different name tags to sale to clients for different skin issues 😎

DO NOT USE HOTEL TOWELS, SHEETS NOT EVEN THE PILLOW CASES
I won't tell you why,I worked in 2 big hotels andddd everything was the same
Take your sheets along
I can confirm almost all your points 👍.
You see that plaintan chips and ammonia they are among the deadliest.

Most people that grew up in poor/average background didn't know what their little means did for them.

Avoid all processed/ package foods, Wines, alcoholic and soft drink in Nigeria.

The cheapest and the most expensive soap are the same Ingredients just different packaging.

99% everything sold in shopping malls and supermarket are purchased from local market and then rebranded and repacked.

70% of medical and pharmaceutical products in Nigeria are substandard.

The devil is not shocked that 90% of Nigerians are like him.

I once worked as a teacher. I marked a student exam script and test all together his percentage was 52%. The school instructed me to help him rewrite his exam and he must not get below 92% because his parents are one of the highest investors in that school.
