CareerRe: Can An Employer Be Sued For Paying Less Than 30k Minimum Wage? by Venerable612(m): 6:58pm On Nov 21, 2021
Yampotatocarrot:
Lol, I love the way you think bro. The employer will just file for bankruptcy or any of the 5 other steps he can take. What if the employer cooks us charges against the said employee and get other employees to support as witness
PoC, Companies don’t file for bankruptcy- they go insolvent and are wound up. Individuals/sole traders go bankrupt.

Regardless I was just letting you know that judgement debt can be levied against assets. No issues at all.

Thanks .

Yampotatocarrot:
Well, the school can just claim they don't have the money to pay. Even if they get 70m as he stated, what is their running cost, does he know that?

So, anyway it goes, looking at your write-up, the employer wins, since it'll be "essentially fruitless"
Employer doesn’t win, if the Court finds that they owe the claimants for outstanding wages. They will be indebted - whether or not they have the money to pay. Judgement debt can be levied against cash in bank account or assets… doesn’t matter if you have the money or not.

Good evening nairalanders. I need an answer to the above question most preferably by the lawyers in this forum. Sometime ago, the President signed into law the new minimum wage of #30,000 but some employers especially private school owners still pay their staff as low as #10,000 monthly. Even here in calabar some weeks ago, the street sweepers were protesting for not being paid their '#7,500' salary for 6 months. My question is,
Does the #30,000 minimum wage apply only to government workers or are private employees suppose to adhere to this law also?
And in a case where you work in big Private school that makes up to 70 million in a term, can You sue your employer for paying less than the minimum wage without loosing your job or being fired?
I am surprised at the comments to your question on the front page. Shows the level of seriousness of Nairaland users - on Quora you would have got far more intelligent comments even from people who are not lawyers.

That said, yes you can sue your employer at the National Industrial Court for non-compliance.

YHowever, certain establishments are exempted from paying the National Minimum Wage - National Minimum Wage Act 2019 exempts the following establishments:
- an establishment in which less than 25 workers are employed;
- an establishment in which workers are employed on a part-time basis (those working for less than 40 hours per week);
- an establishment at which workers are paid on commission or on piece-rate basis;
- workers in seasonal employment (as agriculture) and
- seamen/crews of aircraft.

If you are a teacher and your school employs more than 25 full time employees- it’s best you take an action together with other employees willing to pursue the action. You guys can apply to serve a notice of compliance on your employer too - but please speak with a Lawyer. You will be able receive all the money that has accrued since you started working with that employer, including interest!

But please - don’t take a court action against an employer that doesn’t have the money to pay! It’s essentially fruitless.

Hope that helps.

JB4life:
Dying was not part of the original plan for mankind.
The unfortunate incident of sin ( disobedience to God's instructions in the Garden of Eden) brought death as a consequence, because nothing corrupted by sin can enter Heaven.

But Jesus Christ has offered Himself as an unblemished Sacrifice to redeem mankind from the bondage of sin,and restore eternal life.

Being born to die is our inheritance as offsprings of Adam and Eve,but because of God's mercy, redemption has been freely won especially for believers.
That doesn’t explain why you had to be born.

The circle of sin could have stopped with Adam and Eve… why were you born?

Your explanation compounds the problem, Why do you have to bear responsibility for someone else’s sin?

I am a Christian and I have to be to make heaven.
All of these could have been avoided if we were not born at all!!!

I guess that’s my point.

Life and Death is a mystery.

So many things are unexplainable.

Sometimes I wonder why we have to be born at all, only to die.

It is well.
EducationRe: Nigerian Lady Gets In Fight With High School Student In The UK (VIDEO) by Venerable612(m): 5:33pm On Nov 10, 2021
The girl was clearly rude and the woman was feeling entitled.

She probably felt disrespected because the girl was black - buh really most of the blacks raised abroad have the same attitudes with the whites.

That’s why many Nigerian men would prefer to marry their wives from their home country after securing their papers.

I won’t put up with that attitude too but would rather walk away!
RomanceRe: Have You Ever Cried And Begged For A Relationship As A Man? by Venerable612(m): 10:28pm On Oct 04, 2021
Sometimes love makes you do crazy things.

I have… but most times it doesn’t end well.

Every time people beg for love it’s always that the other person is not genuinely interested. That’s why people end up getting married to whoever is available.

May God help us to meet the right persons with the same energy we share.

You need to know your onions and have self esteem. Don't ever think someone is better than you. A pharmacist students are been taught same curriculum nationwide
True. The trick is in developing your skills outside of academics.

By the way "are being" not 'are been". The rule is that "been" only goes with "have" verbs.

EducationRe: What Difficult Truth Did You Finally Accept by Venerable612(m):
Winningbot:
For me

1- You’re going to be alone always

No matter how good you’re as a person, how many friends you have, how much you’re loved by your family. You’re always going to be alone, especially in your tough times. Nobody is going to understand you, help you in your struggles or take you out of difficulties except you. You’re your own hero.
Hmmm… very bitter truth.

I too was thinking about my life today.
How I have got so used to being with my parents and having them do everything for me. I just need to accept that at some point a man will leave his father’s home to go start his own.

It’s scary - especially the feeling that I wont have them with me. They are the only ones that have genuinely loved me without a condition, putting up with all my shortcomings as a Son.

I pray Heaven helps me to be a good father to my kids and give them a peaceful and loving home like my parents have given me in the last few years.

Yes sir, but yours is still good. You will have more legal experience. I wanted to apply for the LPC but none was available for January intake, so I had to settle for LLM (general law).
.

Correct. But The LPC option applies only to those with a UK LLB or GDL Degree. But in any case, it’s phased out now - and replaced with the SQE 1 & 2.

If you have the same practice rights as a solicitor of England and Wales and at least two years' professional legal work experience gained either as part of your professional legal qualification or after qualification, you may be exempt from the whole of SQE1 and SQE2.

You need to have one or more of these practising rights:

1. Criminal litigation (including advising clients at the police station) 
2. Civil litigation, which is referred to as dispute resolution on the form
3. Property practice 
4. Wills and intestacy, probate administration and practice 
5. Business organisations rules and procedures

Alright - I have not seen these but I guess it’s worth exploring. Potentially Nigerian qualified lawyers may be admitted to practice on this basis.

SportsRe: Tokyo2020: How African Countries Have Fared So Far by Venerable612(m): 7:18am On Aug 07, 2021
Woeful performances I must say. I followed the Olympic Games keenly. Nigerian Sprinters were the most disappointing - aside from ENOCH ADEGOKE who impressed a bit.

That said, this medal list is not correct though.

For example,
1. I know for a fact that Uganda had 2 Gold medals, I saw the men’s 5000 meters for example. JOSHUA CHEPTIGAI. 2 Golds - 1 Silver and 1 Bronze for Uganda, at the very least.

3. Kenya had 3 Golds 3 Silvers and 2 Bronze.

AlhajiNatty:
Are Yorubas really ready for this??
Ndi-Igbo have been(are still being) called names and thrown with every diatribes and aspersions known to man simply because they refuse to cower down in their right for self-determination.
If this call for self-determination is to be taken serious, Omolabis must cleanse and purge themselves of the two-faced attitude most of them are infamously known for.
Your analysis is not correct.

Firstly, it is not all Ndi-igbo that has clamoured for self determination. So your allusion to two-faced attitude amongst the Yorubas is true of the Igbos too. And it is not a bad thing for some people to prefer this current structure - after'al many persons still benefit from this structure (whether igbo or Yoruba).

Secondly, do not conflate the aggitations of the two tribes as the same.
This is what I understand it to be:
1. Some Igbo persons aggitates for a separate country - Biafra. [Secession]

2. Some Yorubas aggitates for a separate Nation - Oduduwa. [Republican structure].

If my understanding of Governance structure is correct, the two aggitations are mutually exclusive.

House1411:
hey good evening. how long did it take you to get a good job after GRADUATION and NYSC ?
If you have a story or words of encouragement you can feel free to drop it too
OP it took me 2 (two) weeks back then.

Finished Law School in Nigeria - I was going by flight to Abuja for the call to bar ceremony.

I just asked the young lady in front of my seat if she was going to Bwari as well - as I needed company in the chartered taxi.

Turns out she was 10 years at the bar already! And was working with the Securities & Exchange Commission. OMG she looks so young, even till date, you will never tell.

Long story short we exchanged contact. Told her I needed a job in Abuja and I wanted to run away from the hussle and bustle of lagos.

She asked me to send my CV. OP, this woman sent my CV to almost all the Big Corporate Law Firms in Nigeria - and I got emails from about 5 of them. It was now just a matter of choice for me - but I later decided to settle fr Lagos because that was where the real Banking & Finance legal works was really Practiced.

Might I add that I Made First Class both in my Under grad (LLB) and at the Nigerian Law School (BL) - so perhaps that was a factor.

Moral:
Always be confident to speak with people about your job need, even the person sitting next to you in church - in a bus - restaurant etc. But I guess again it's boils down to your conversation and social skills. There are books you can get online on how to improve your social skills (see e.g. How To Win Friends and influence People by Dale Carnegie).

This approach helped me a lot when I was seeking internships back then - in some instances, I literally sent random Inmail to industry experts in my field on LinkedIn. Many times the traditional online applications and sending of CVs just may not be enough.

Hope this helps someone out there. Thanks smiley

Too many cases of rape and sexual assault recently.

Sex offenders should have a public register, available to be checked online by interested persons.

You could easily check the names on such website before having personal or business relationship with anyone.

The stigmatisation will be an added deterrent.
