I am not people and I didn't fault you for bringing the issue here. Don't vent your anger on me Mr.

You said this remember They offered to have a mou with the guy's private company he built from scratch to offer IT services. However the company has no interest in IT apart from what they use to work. They want to move into IT with the guy's private practice and co-own it.

What you implied in that statement was that the guy's private company is into an aspect of IT and that the partnership with his former employers would increase their service offering in the field. That's why everyone here has been shouting "conflict of interest". Next time; give information explicitly that won't allow room for various and different interpretation by the reader.

Besides this an IT firm and a reading company, no single common interest. They don't sell anything that is even remotely related to IT. Now you're supplying an information that should have been in your first post. If this had been there; I'm certain that the advises and comments would have been different somehow.

If your friend feels he or she has been treated unjustly by his or her former employers, let him or her get a lawyer and sue them at the industrial court. Shikena.

You make some good points. My bad for lumping you together with those complaining about friend friend.

That line about not offering IT services except ( IT things) what they use to work. Do people buy their own service? Didn't you think that angle? So the lack of understanding of that line is what baffles me cos it's clear. People just rushed the thread like is common on this forum for those that as much as go beyond the heading and read at all sef. So it's not my job to feed lazy readers like it's a nursery, lol.

Thanks for your thought.

no sir, I don't bring my 'single' friend issue here... Do you even know what it means to confide in someone? I will tell you

con·fide
kənˈfīd/
verb
tell someone about a secret or private matter while trusting them not to repeat it to others.
"he confided his fears to his mother"
synonyms: reveal, disclose, divulge, lay bare, betray, impart, declare, intimate, uncover, expose, vouchsafe, tell; More
trust (someone) enough to tell them of a secret or private matter.

Now you can understand what it actually mean to confide in someone....


Gracia's

Bros I repeat, if you have even a single friend you can confide in them. Quote me anywhere. If you don't have at least one person like that then that's sad. But then, it's none of my business neither is it the topic here.

simiolu1:
And how do you know that the clause wasn't there? It seems you are extremely close to this "friend".

Anyway, I assumed it was going to be there because it is standard practice in HR. All the same; "conflict of interest" can still be grounds for dismissal.

What's with the friend friend issue guys? What's important here is the correctness of the info. People are saying here he wasn't discreet enough with the other business and yet faulting me for reporting or speaking out for somebody. What if the person writes themselves and something comes up? Then you come back again and be like why didn't they use a pseudonym or something. I tire for people o.

Meanwhile standard or not, we looked at the employment letter and there was nothing like that. Besides this an IT firm and a reading company, no single common interest. They don't sell anything that is even remotely related to IT.

tojahh:
Why must it always be "A friend"? Yet when any question is asked you quickly respond, are you saying your friend gave you the script? Knowing the answers to questions raised?



Nigerians and insecurities..
Your friend indeed.

If you have even a single friend they will confide things in you but I guess you have none. Not my headache. If you don't like the gist and can't learn to are welcome to leave. Nobody cares who it is but that it is a life experience and a lesson for people to mindful of.

majekdom2:
It's always like that with many Nigeria MD's and CEOs. Always wanting to have it all. They have seen the prospect in the guy's company and that's why they wanna be shareholders. The rich always wanting to get richer at what expense! They have lost a good guy, that's not to say there are no better guys. But your friend did well be resigning.
Did the initial contract agreement state employees are not allowed to have their businesses? If No, your friend can sue them and win.

You get the gist very well. You probabaly have had this experience or seen it. The employment letter didn't say anything about employees having their business. We thought of suing but maen, it's bad enough in the country as it is and how can one afford the luxury if a lawsuit. Thanks for your thought.

sisisioge:
He somewhat shot himself in the leg when he logged into his other business account while working on his official business. That's all that is required to prove there's conflict of interest. In HR, it is a general no-no to have another coy you work for while on one paid employment.

Let your guy face his other business, Infact, let him review the other business they are giving him well. He just might do better on it.

Bros it's called smartphone and you can have as much as ten email addresses on an app like Gmail or Outlook or even thr native email app. There's a default address to send from. You have to manually select the one u want if it is not the default email. This way it is very possible to send from the wrong one.

leksmedia:
Actually the guy is lucky, most firm will sack him without thinking, That is why if you are running your private firm, make sure you have a private phone and laptop for each.

He should refer to his terms of agreement, to some company thats conflict of interest while some other companies might not care. Anyways he should be smart when he is signing anything. Im sure the director likes him somehow or jjust wanna use him. He should employ the service of a professional in signing any deal. And if he must sign a deal or panership, he must own more than 51% of the business else he might just be kicked out of the company he built from scratch.

To some companies you said.
He has his letter of employment there is no mention of conflict of interest and there is no conflicted of interest here. This a Trading company an IT firm, poles apart. They just wanted to get free service from him by using him company inside their and not be paying him salary but he refused to take the offer.

DuBLINGreenb:
What did you expect ? They aren't gonna let you get insider info of their company while you own yours. *it's like the owner of glo working for mtn its stoopid*

Bros did you read the post? How come u presume insider info? I told you the company has no IT interest beyond what IT services they use. This guy innovated things for them and drives all their IT needs satisfactorily. Matter of fact they are now calling him back cos they found out so many things are left hanging cos of his exit. They thought he will take the yeye offer and buy him out of his business. That is pure greed not conflict of interest.

bigerboy200:
Try read the post b4 u comment naa.haba

I just tire for some people. Rushing to comment without reading. Don't mind them.

hardon1:
I dont think poster is telling the truth, the guy cant be so dumb to hv sent an official mail mistakenly with his private coy email. He was probably trying to take advantage of the coompany, probably win over or divert a contract amonymously or something of similar nature and was not careful enough.
Morover, an IT employee with a private practice and also heading the IT unit of a group is risky. He can blackmail the company in future cos he has access to secrete and classified company info.

Oga abi Madam, in case you are not aware, some people have up to two three four different email addresses on a single email app like Outlook or Gmail. Once u hit compose there is a default email address to send from which you have to manually change to the desired email address to send from. That's how u can accidentally and so unintentionally send a mail from the default, so wrong, email.

What you don't understand doesn't have to be false. You can simply ask for a clarification not presume something from your end.

simiolu1:
Please, always read your employment letter to know its rules for disengagement. The guy probably forgot that there was a clause in his employment letter than doesn't allow him to have a private practice (I'm assuming it was explicitly stated in the letter).

Nonetheless, the deed has been done but next time he should be more careful. Also, he should employ the services of a lawyer to look at any agreement he is going to sign in the future with his former organization. Legal documents could turn out to be traps if not interpreted for you by a professional

There was no clause like that. None.

So, this guy is the IT Manager of a group of companies in Lagos. Meanwhile he has a private practice that doesn't interfere with his job at this company. One day he sent a mail by mistake from his private email which is on a private domain name and management got to know of the private practice. This happened last year. Meanwhile this guy has had his private practice even before he joined the company over 4 and half years ago. He has answered no single query and alwaya delivered every assignment and task that is his responsibility.

A couple days ago he was invited by the MD and Chairman of the company who asked him to put in his resignation since he has a company, that he is not giving his all. They offered to have a mou with the guy's private company he built from scratch to offer IT services. However the company has no interest in IT apart from what they use to work. They want to move into IT with the guy's private practice and co-own it.

After the meeting, my guy wrote his resignation letter and left same day. Told them he will consider the offer.

So EFCC thought they were smart.
Frank Donga schooled them.

That day you guys will know how angry Nigerians have been and waiting to vent.

hehe

Once kwa? Chineke.

mrsage:
They have an Office in Ilupeju. Just pay them a visit and do what you have to do.

By d time you do the needful something will happen. Good luck.

Many thanks.

Terryindeed:
Am one of the admin of the site. But it's okay. You can deal with it your way.

Oh ok. Thanks.
It's an admin issue really. Site management is totally different in this particular behaviour.

Call me ASAP. 08060511898.

Maka why?

I made an order for three computers on Dealdey with order Order#14808453123145 on the 4th of December 2016.

The order came in at NGN360,000 only then add NGN9,150 for delivery. There was no option of paying at delivery so I paid cash with my debit card. As I type, I have called these guys 4 times and have also spoken with the so called merchant severally, NOTHING HAS BEEN DELIVERED to me, not even a de-winged, crippled dead fly. I have them on record on my phone making several promises to get the merchant (who I can even now say is one of them) to deliver.

Each call to them comes with promises and assurances of delivery same day I called. Now the merchant does not even pick my call again. If it was MMM I put that kind of money I know what I would have gotten from there. Now I am wiating for a refund which I do not know when it is going to come. Forget about the person that sent me to buy the items and how they might now see me as an unserious person or even a fraud. then add the manhours lost that the machines would have been put to work. Then do not forget what the price after 3 weeks in today's Nigeria will be.

I have searched for threads on theis Dealdey to see if I am alone on this terrible experience and found a number of them. I think the moderators here need to push this thing to the front to save hardworking people from getting their money tied down with dubious promises and advert on the Dealdey site.

It is obvious they do not protect the interest of Nigerians who lay down their hard earned money on their site at all.
Buyer Beware.

Thanks.

Best choice is Google Play Music for especially the "Last Added" auto Playlist. Very crucial. I need to quickly have my latest downloads at the top.

Real Player is good for play count on each track. Let's me know which tracks I play more often and makes it into a Playlist. Even those I listen to during particular periods of the day.

Apple Music has ALL the songs u can ever think of. Paid service anyway. Thanks to my buddy in the States I share an account with I don't have to pay. Just reminds me I'm switching to the US region and I gladly oblige.

Boom Player is not bad either for free download and/or easy download of Nigerian tracks.

Still available?

How much?

How did you come about the 48% of all relationship part?
Empty claims and statistics.

ElsonMorali:
You are lost. Somebody has just confessed to eating your yam and that's what you're going to say? You are truly lost.

I'm waiting for our people from you-know-where to come and take up Abati's battle online and fight for him. He'll soon join the league of their patrons and mentors and heroes...

The guy is right. **** Prosecute them chikena.
Someone stole USD2.1bn and after over a year you can't convict him. You are either a liar or totally inept.

wellmax:
Stop fooling yourself. They want to charge him to court and they couldn't state that in the communiqué even if it's just to defend their position.

All of the 40 who had been either compulsorily retired or dismissed since 2000 by the NJC, tell me ONE who has been prosecuted. Just ONE.

As requested. This is the submission of the NJC on the matter and I quote for you as it seems you cant read simple English right under your nose in this very thread by the OP)
"8.6. RE: HON. JUSTICE KABIRU AUTA, KANO STATE HIGH COURT

Hon. Justice Kabiru Auta was investigated by Council based on allegations of corrupt practices levelled against him in a petition forwarded to Council by one Alhaji Kabiru Yakassai. His Lordship was recommended to the Governor of Kano State for removal from office by dismissal.

Council wrote separately to the AIG Kano Zone 1, for Police to prosecute Hon. Justice Auta.

Something right under your nose in this thread and you can't read it. Please fuxcxk off.

wellmax:
Look at this useless goat, if you have no brain why not go to olx.
And is dismissal the punishment for a crime? idiota
Whats he charged to court?
Oh judges can't be tried. Big fool.

Ask the right questions and perhaps you will learn.
The first step is dismissal after which you prosecute. You cannot prosecute a sitting judge. That's the law. Mumu.

bigtt76:
I think she erred here. Baba is 78 years or thereabout, you've lived with him just 27 years out of his life, you don't expect to know everybody he knows naaa. Besides that, must you know everyone to be appointed to government positions? All we need is someone who will deliver.

I hope this woman is not being used by disgruntled elements o!

If in 20years part of those 50yrs people have not come around then they are not hia friends or are dead. Either way they are useless. Or perhaps you be ordinary mumu. Don't try to justify something simply cos your man is involved. Open your mind and be effing objective. It doesn't kill.

wellmax:
Did anyone see that? Useless NJC. Is asking for bribe not a crime?

Don't be stewpede.
Did they say it is or is not a crime?
Can't you use your hopeless brain for once?
Phbbt.

Brutal.
And to think that this is the caliber of people here on Nairaland and in Nigeria at large that you have to discuss issues with becomes quite depressing.

ollah1:
Quit writing nonsense. Didn't the previous regime sell major national assists? Yes or No?

Solomon pls name them.

ollah1:
The same Brian u've had when other assets were sold and nothing (absolutely nothing)resulted from the sale. You and brain shouldn't be in the same sentence

Keep deluding yourself.
That's the zombie mentality that brought APC on all of us: blanket white lies. And dead heads like you buy it. Keep your receipt though. You might need it for redemption.
