cloud9usher: ndoeyopbennet Thank you for this, I'd also like to applaud the following who gave testimonies of this place and man; DonTim1, woleafrica, jasysandra, rebeccausoro, mathy001, efygirl, megareal, samuelson06, brendan007, Rayd502, kingsangoda, tuzeal, everything you all said is 100% TRUE!!!
Here is my story:
Fresh out of NYSC in 2015, I saw Aptech Uyo's ad on Jobberman for a position and I applied, went for interview and got a job offer. While I was working there, the outgoing manager kept on coming week in week out to see Mr Otoho, its later I got to know he owed him months of salaries.
Everyone was urged to do marketing even though you were not a marketer. I started noticing Mr Otoho's penchant for owing salaries when after a month I was not paid and then 2 other staff as well, everything started becoming clearer, I knew this wasn't the place for me. Imagine a young man staying spending on feeding, transportation and not being paid.
I started looking for other job options, applied for a firm still in Uyo, got the interview invite, coming to work seemed like carrying a rock on my head, I hated the marketing aspect of the job and also the fact that salaries don't get paid compounded everything, I took the bold step and resigned even before the firm I applied for gave me the job, and as God would have it, after I resigned, I was given the job in the new firm.
When I tendered my resignation, the man seemed so cool as someone who has seen such a lot, he took his calculator and smartly calculated the "2 weeks in lieu of notice" and deducted it from the salary of roughly 50 days I had worked there, apart from this man being a good mathematician, I could see he had done this a lot and was skilled at it. He claimed he would pay me that week and I left.
After the deductions, my pay was supposed to be something around 21K, I kept calling this man to know why I wasn't paid yet, I was so broke then. This man is really heartless I must say! The other guy working with me at Aptech Uyo also resigned. Of the 21K, I got alert of 8K only, the rest money I have not heard of till date! The other people I know were not paid a thing!
This man employs people, doesn't pay and waits for them to resign, since you resigned yourself he would smartly make you feel that its only normal for you to wait to be paid, and the ones working still and being owed salaries would keep doing free work for him till they can't take it again and leave, Mr Otoho has been using the elaborate employment scam for years.
He wasted people's lives there, a knew a young guy who studied in a top Ghanaian University, fresh out of school who was working there and had to resign, a knew a guy who graduated from American University Yola who was working there as a lecturer, he used the dude like a slave till the dude also left. I still know of another young lady whom he owed till she stopped coming.
This man is a calculating criminal! I'm still working/residing in Uyo, so if you guys wanna take him to court and need witnesses, I will gladly do that, I still got all documents to prove I was employed there.
I pray we the young ones can change this country and make employers to stop taking staff for a ride and and feeling that nothing will happen, this has to end! The man even tried and paid you a miserly 8k. Maybe he was afraid that you would do something. The employment scam of his has become notorious and known to all. This thread has helped in sensitising many people who would have fallen prey to his antics. |

So this man matter don reach nairaland abi. I have a friend that he has duped with his employment format. As far as I am concerned, he should be behind jail. I can vividly remember how he treated Brian, my former bf who left Abia State and got a job in this scam of a coy. Brian left everything behind and arrived Uyo with only enough money to rent a one room apartment without furniture with the hope that he'd be paid at the end of the month so that he can kick-start his life. Brian was even posting pictures of himself in office on Facebook and everyone was congratulating him. One month passed and Brian was asking me to borrow him 20k that he'll pay me back when his Oga pays him. Two months passed and Brian said he hasn't been paid. I even had to give him extra 10k so that he can manage. Brian was even telling me of how the man sacked other people without pay and how those who came asking for their pay were treated. At the end, Brian stayed there for 3 months and he wasn't paid. He even begged the man to give him as little as 5k to eat but the man said there's no money even though students are paying fees and his children are in the most expensive schools in Akwa Ibom. Till today, Brian has not been paid. The room he rented was wasted. The money he spent in Uyo was wasted. The man didn't even show any sign of concern and Brian had to leave the Uyo. Thinking about this alone has made me sad and angry. May God punish these evildoers  |
Politics › Issues With The Biafran Ideology (copied Post) by rebeccausoro(op): 12:21am On Mar 28, 2017 |
This waz copied from anoda thread ( www.nairaland.com/3676278/ipob-right-ideology-wrong-methodology/4) bt I like what is written becoz Im a from a minority myself. No tribalism in responses pls. The Igbo people do have an inalienable right to self-determination. If the majority of Igbos support Biafra, there is certainly no problem with that. Nigeria was never a discussed nation. I believe that the FG should look into the request of the Igbos and find a permanent solution to their agitations. The international community should as well be consulted and wooed to the Igbo cause. However, my issues with the current Biafra ideology being propagated by IPOB are as follows:
1. The addition of tribes that have historically not been in Biafra such as Urhobo-Isoko and Itsekiri. These tribes have never been and have never pledged or advocated for Biafra. In fact, many Urhobos have never even heard of the word before. So there is no basis for the addition of these people.
2. The addition of non-Igbo tribes in the South South. It is true that many of the minorities in the former Eastern Region were in the extinct Biafran republic but it must be emphasised that only a few of them commiserated with the cause. Currently, less than 1% of members of these ethnic minorities are sympathetic to the Biafran project. Many trust the motives of IPOB, which added them to maps without due consultation. The mistrust is further exacerbated by the reactions of IPOB youths online when confronted with the reality that members of minority tribes are NOT interested in Biafra. I have been hearing the common idea of a referendum from IPOB and Igbos but as far as I am concerned, there won't be any referendum in the South-South because the people haven't asked for it. Referendums are conducted on request and no minority tribe has asked for any in line with the Biafran ideology. In the SE, an overwhelming majority subscribe to Biafra so there won't also be a need for any referendum as the outcome would be certain. If IPOB is to succeed and attract sympathy, it should remain an IGBO affair as it is. After all, how many of the so-called minorities join in protests and the propagandist movement? Will they eat from where they did not work? From all the comments on the internet and the reality on ground, it is obvious even to the blind that minorities do not want Biafra. Why force yourself and your ideology on them? Isn't it wise to speak for only your ethnicity and agitate for an Igbo Biafra? If the minorities want Biafra, they should agitate for it then an agreement will be reached. Don't force it down their throats. Many of these minorities have strong voices in the nation because of their oil and Nigeria WILL NEVER let them go except the minorities themselves reject Nigeria -which I have not seen any doing-. If Biafra is to leave Nigeria smoothly, focus on Igboland and leave areas where Nigeria has huge investments in. It simply won't work as Nigeria won't lose Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Bayelsa, etc, without a fight! Biafrans should cater for their own first and if Biafra is achieved, she may then extend a hand of fellowship to the neighbouring groups.
3. Use of emotions, rather than logic and reason to make arguments. I will concede that this is shown mainly by the semi-literate IPOB member with an internet connection. If you come online to hear the arguments proferred for Biafra, many are ridden with tribalism against the Hausa-Yoruba. The Hausa-Yoruba are people too and have their own wishes and aspirations. You may not want to be in a country with them doesn't mean you should hate them. I also understand that they return the hate as well but the circle will never end if you guys don't get your priorities right. As an Urhobo, I have seen many comments by Igbos geared towards annexing us whether we want it or not. To them, the whole of Delta is Biafraland without even realising that Delta was never part of Biafra to begin with. This campaign of calumny, heightened by sentiments, have created enemies of many minorities. I have heard discussions by Urhobos/Itsekiris and even Ibibios about Igbo and Biafra and nothing good was said whatsoever. I won't blame them for it. They simply reacted to what they've seen, especially on the internet.
4. Playing Lugard. Although this is just a repetition of what I had said, I wish to emphasise again in concrete terms. The Igbos frequently reference Nigeria as the Lugardian experiment. This is totally correct. One of the problems in Nigeria is multilingualism. At the onset, we operated a regional system and tribalism was still a very serious issue. In fact, so bad was tribalism in the regional system that it caused a civil war. Biafra proponents frequently cite regionalism and resource control as the basis for the addition of non-Igbo speaking tribes to Biafra. If regionalism didn't work in a multiethnic Nigeria, what will be different in a multiethnic Biafra? A lot has happened since the previous agitation and many of the Nigerian minorities are genuinely wary of Nigeria's major ethnic groups, including the Igbos. You cannot sweep this under the carpet all of a sudden. IPOB should focus more on building bridges and building its public image to the minorities if they really want them in Biafra. You can't force people into a marriage that they don't want. Don't play Lugard all over again.
5. Lack of good strategy. If you need a nation. You have to get intellectuals - political scientists, economists, scientists, sociologists, lawyers, etc - to draw a map and make useful contributions to the cause. This is where MASSOB has done better than IPOB. Many of the modern day Biafran agitators are traders, who are not even in Igboland to begin with, semi-literates and pure illiterates. They lack the wherewithal to draw a good action plan that will involve all Igbos. Protests are good but what have they achieved so far? NOTHING!!! Biafra also needs a charismatic leader. Nnamdi Kanu preaches too much violence and he is a war-monger. Biafra tried violence in 1967 and it didn't work. You need a different strategy. Organise a think-tank, engage the many Igbo professors, scientists, business moguls, innovators, economists, politicians, etc, and draw a clear roadmap. You don't need to fight Nigeria to get Biafra. No one owns Nigeria so fighting her would be in vain. Once Biafra gets a clear vision and roadmap towards its actualization, many things will fall in place naturally. The campaign shouldn't be all about violent protests; you guys should go to towns and villages and sensitise people, write letters to heads-of-states, make more calls, use more coercive forms of protests such as civil disobedience, solidarity walk, etc. Protest more in Abuja, rather than the South East.
I have more issues with the movement but I have made my point with the few I have listed. Amarabae, you have spoken well and reasoned the way I expect all Biafrans to do. Biafra is a good cause. Every ethnicity has the right to create its own destiny. No one can force any determined group into anything. Just the way Igbos struggle for their inalienable rights to determine her faith, so also should Igbos recognise the minorities' right to fashion their own destiny. No one should play Lugard with people's future. Let us correct the sins of the past. Every ethnic group is independent and has the capacity to become a nation-state.
God bless us all! |

But don't try to trample on human and groups' rights, else you get in conflict with the UN secretary General, Anthonio Guterres, who has spent much of his service life campaigning for and upholding groups and individuals rights to self-determination.
Part of the reasons the UN was set up after WW II is to uphold the rights of groups to make reasonable choices. And what makes you think that she is going there to trample on anyone's rights? Has she done that before in this country? |

As for me, I got mine when I was 15 via masturbation. I grew up in a university town cos my father was a lecturer. One distant relation was moving into town after gaining admission. He brought some of his stuffs to our place and they were kept in my room. I snooped through *dont judge  * and I found a porn disc. I got curious and excited and waited till night to play it. Mhen, I didn't know when I started dripping and moving my hands. It was purely instinctive. Few minutes later, I felt a surge of joy, a flash of heat, my legs were shaking, I was breathing faster, and my hands were "watery". I didn't know what that was so I turned off the porn and went to sleep. I never put it on again until the owner took his property. I found that later on that what I experienced as an orgasm...  . It remains the greatest feeling in the world! |
