Career › Re: Employment Contract Vs Offer Letter by SmartyPants(m):
casualobserver:
It depends, it is not always the case. If I recall correctly, I had jobs in the uk where all there was was the letter of appointment, no contract, no acceptance letter no nothing. I have also had jobs where it was in the form of a fixed term contract where a contract was prepared and signed. I also had jobs with offer letter, acceptance and employment contract. I also had jobs in my student days where there was no contract and no appointment letter but those were not serious jobs..I.e sales staff etc
Yeah, but these are all different things: Appointment letters and contracts of employment, are final documents. An offer letter is a preparatory document that outlines terms that you can negotiate. The acceptance of an offer letter doesn't imply an employment relationship, only that any subsequent contract will be in accordance with the terms you have agreed upon. An offer letter can be rescinded but a contract of employment cannot be rescinded without legal consequences.

My friend is attempting to get tourist Visa to a Schengen country, one of the requirements is proof of employment.
He have tried with Offer Letter but it got rejected, when asked at workplace nobody seems to have Employment Contract either.
When asked directly his boss, he is being told that there is only offer letter.

Are they trying to gaslight him or is it common practice to only get an offer letter ?

Work is long term, full time, already there for 2 years +
Thanks
Well in the West the practice is to send you an initial offer letter outlining the terms of the proposed contract but this is not treated as the final agreement. I'm not sure why they do this, but you still need a subsequent contract.

Also you have used gaslight wrongly.

people like you think you are smart. na so Zubair that Edu adviser was saying no law was broken transferring money to private account.
Of course an explicit law was broken there. Which has been quoted and shared i.e funds meant for public use should never be paid into private accounts. If you don't know the law you dont need to comment on these threads.

Bankowner:
A shareholder benefits directly from the profit of the everyday business of a company. As long as you're in government, and the company you claim to be a shareholder in makes money from govt contracts, you're still culpable. Ignorance in law is not an excuse, there is inherent conflict of interest.
Which law was broken?

He is not a director and it was not his ministry awarding the contract. It may be unethical but not illegal.
Politics › Re: Betta Edu: Suspension Of A Minister Is A Rare Occurrence In Nigeria - BBC by SmartyPants(m): 8:46pm On Jan 08, 2024
MrEverest:
Lol, I pity those still taking BBC serious. This useless establishment is not a media house but rather a propaganda machinery of the British government. Of all the serious issues bedeviling Nigeria they saw non to conduct investigation on. Hundreds are literally being slaughtered in middle belt but they never sent a reporter talk more of investigation. Election was blatantly rigged but BBC never did investigative journalism. What about #endsars? No!

However, this pathetic establishment had time to investigate late TB Joshua. Now, they're saying trash again that isn't even factual just to promote their evil interests.

Spit!
BBC was the only foreign media house with a team live on the ground at Lekki on October 2020. Did you know they were there? You are ranting without info.

So, tell us anyway, what is the interest of BBC in Nigeria?

Is there any signs in this country to show that we are on a stealthy path to industrialization? Zero power, high tax, high inflation, high unemployment, insecurity etc. How do you industrialise under these conditions?
No doubt Nigeria is on a very difficult path at the moment but industrialization remains the only solution. That suggests that a serious government should settle down and address these issues one after the other starting with insecurity.

MrPOTUS:
There's no way a country can survive without importing.

Again, no country is independent.

Importation can be strictly monitored, but no eliminated.

Even local manufacturing firms use chemicals that need to be imported.

Use your brain.
Yeah, I suspected my usage of the word "hypothetical" would fly over the heads of the numerous dunces that litter this site so I'll take the blame for that one. My bad.

I was illustrating, using a simplified scenario, how restricting imports strengthens the naira and thereby saves jobs not advocating for a total ban on imports. Got it?

TajuDEENaMao:
Get rid of importers of things that can be easily manufactured in the country?

You're very funny.....you want to stop import when your local manufacturers are sacking workers and closing plants due to Naira instability and unfavorable business climate.

This would amount to economic shutdown

Economics 101
Lol. Which Economics 101. A country that hypothetically does not import anything will never need fx. A country that doesn't need fx will have a stable currency and low inflation. A country with a stable currency and low inflation will not see mass layoffs.

I don't know where you learned your own Economics 101.

A developing country must go through an industrialization phase or it will never develop. There are ways to manage the transition through fiscal and monetary policies

Really? In less than 8 months they have moved up to 37 billion that is known, and this is while they are still learning the job and 2024 budget is yet to be fully disbursed. By the end of the year how much do you think would be unaccounted for?

Have you heard of the 9 billion Diezani casually gave someone to keep for her? Have you heard of Cecilia Ibru?

You eat it but you don't know how it's prepared. They just serve you the finished product and you assume it was not cooked together.
Okay that is possibly true, but the point simply is, Senegalese jollof is not prepared in the same way as what we have in this thread because even if the okra is cooked with the rice, it is cooked whole not cut up like this, and certainly looks nothing like it. The Senegalese version is quite delicious and visually appealing,not to mention, loaded with nutrients.

DamnnNiggarr:
shocked

well, when Lion Heart was sold out for up to $4 million to Netflix, It didn't get as much attention as this, as far back as 2018.

If funke was Genevieve, CNN would have announced it in those days.

anyways, congratulations to funke on this your "unattainable" feat that no other human has attained. Congratulations once again.
It's so obvious from the way you write that you can't be well educated. Sold and sold out do not mean the same thing. Genevieve's movie was sold as in its ownership rights were sold to another entity. In showbiz, sold out means the maximum number of tickets to view an event have been sold. It is totally inapplicable in this context.

Secondly, the essence of Funke's achievement is that her movie is essentially the most popular indigenous Nigerian movie ever made by the number of people who have paid to watch it. It has nothing to do with how much Genevieve's movie was purchased for, which is a separate and equally impressive achievement in its own right.

Don't argue with me on the basis of what you watched on youtube. I lived in this region for many years and have eaten this food over and over again.

Lies. This is nowhere close to Senegalese jollof. They add okra indeed but never in this way. It will be added as a whole fruit boiled separately from the rice, and added only after the meal is cooked.

Leave these empty heads to be explaining.
The company has japa. They cannot operate in Nigeria the way they were all these years.

They have moved.
PR experts will understand all the blablabla
There is a process to a company closing its operations. If it has not gone through the winding-up process then it certainly has gone nowhere. also a company that is closing up has no use for PR. That is like medication for a dead body. No PR specialist will ever recommend telling such blatant lies as that does nothing other than completely damage the reputation of the owners forever.

For good PR, it is simply enough to say we are closing because the business environment is too tough.
