It all started like a joke and lots of excitement knowing I secured a job at united Geophysical (Nig) Ltd. An oil Servicing firm involved in seismic data acquisition for oil companies.
I wasn't asked how much I expected as salary so I thought they must have a well structured salary scale.
Unfortunately, it turned out that a company managed by the British/Scottish is worse that an average Nigerian run business. They offer letter came and the salary was nothing to right home about.
Fast forward a bit, salaries are been owed even up to 1year plus for old staff and that joined experienced it too.
One month turned to 2months, 3months, 4months 5months 6months until it dawned on me that its not about Big name, its about management.
Even with all the fund available, the expatriate will not approve for salary payment.
This went on and on until I left the company and I am still being owed months.
Do not be deceived by how the company looks from the outside, it is poorly run and I won't even suggest that place for my enemy.
It was the worst career experience I have had all my life and irrespective of the good staff there, just like Nigeria everyone there is suffering and smiling.
Today I have forgotten the experience but it wasn't a good one.

So sad how wicked humans can be. People work but you deny them their wages. Country is in shambles. No work. No nothing. Its so sad.
