Fellow Nigerians. I need help because I don't want to be terminated from my new job.

I resigned after working for the previous company for 3 years for the following reasons:
1. No benefits except HMO
2. Only your salary
3. Performance commission not paid
4. I was doing job of 4 people without appreciation. I have to do it to keep feeding my family.

I got another job after 7months I have resigned properly from the previous company.

The previous company has sued me to court with my new company. My New company doesn't want to let terminate my employment with them because I am the operations manager and I have the business knowledge.

Myself and 1 Lebanese man started the previous company in 2018 in Nigeria before the company became big. I have full knowledge and my new company is now a big treat to them. I believe because of this they sued us to court.

My new company doesn't have enough money to pay lawyer we consulted.

The previous company said I have signed a letter that stated that I cannot work on same field for 3 years. When I checked their claim, they didn't write that I cannot work on same field for 3 years AFTER TERMINATION (Please check the attached document).

I know if I go to court with them i will win this case. How can a company said i shouldn't use my skills to work in another company.

In the previous company they didn't do any training for me, the only in house training was the onboarding training for 2 days and after that no training cost invested on me and no any form of performance benefits paid.

Now I got another job, the previous company is trenthening my new company to terminate my job. Now we need to go to court and they claimed 20M for damages.

Fellow Nigerians what can I do to this Lebanese company that want to deprive me of my right in my own precious Nigeria where I dey hustle to feed family and make it in life.

Please what can I do 😂.

Kindly check the attached document they said I signed, of which it was signed after like 8months of starting with the previous company.

We didn't have HR when we started in 2018, I was the one that recommended the HR through a friend from my Church. The HR is the one persecuting me and acting as a witness in court against me.

I wish I didn't help her to get the job.

Please help.

That's a bondage clause you signed Sir.


They don't even want you to open your own business or work for another person for a whole 3 years, while they took your welfare poorly.

You can get a good lawyer to sue them for maltreating you while you worked with them. You should have evidence of it. That way, all of you will settle out of court.

Otherwise, just keep praying for a miracle in court.

Lol

You don't tell us you will punish somebody.

Punish the person first, then we will hear about it.

I just discovered that my innocent looking assistant perpetrated a massive fraud of #3,860,000 under my watch from the month of May - December 2022.

My new hospital Administrator called me for a private meeting to inform me that I am under remitting and she wouldn't want to work with me anymore. I requested to see her book and I was lost in awe when I saw what was being recorded for my unit as remitted revenue.

I got angry and left to get my book which we compared to the administrators book and discovered that there were some months that this lady didnt remit a penny and when she remits for some months she would remit only about 20-30% of the amount we generated.

I went back to my office after comparing my books with that of the administrators with a promise to arrange receipts and other books for her to see. The administrator apologized to me for her thoughts towards me.

As soon as I got to my office I gave the books to my assistant and told her to arrange all our receipts and keep it on my table. This lady went home with all the books and didnt drop them as instructed.

I resumed work on Monday and she brought the book with incomplete receipts. This lady didnt remit a dime from the month of August to December. She was issuing a forged receipt and putting same in the books for me for monthly checks.

I generated about #5,362,000 and this lady only remitted 1,123,000 and the rest were paid through bank transfers which I am not sure if they were really paid.

Till this moment I can't believe that this lady could pull such heartless and wicked heist.

She has been begging me to help her die the case as it was because of family issue that made her do such.

I have made up my mind that I won't work with her again and its left for the Hospital management to find how to get their money from her.

Please your advice will be appreciated!

Sorry about the situation sir.

However, you still need to cooperate with the hospital management to bring her to justice. You are her direct boss, so to say, and the buck for the department and everything that goes on there stops at your table.

She has to refund part, if not the entire amount plus possible criminal prosecution.

Family issue made her do it, according to what she told you. Let her family also be involved in the matter to bail her out.

Source: https://porpulace.com.ng/effects-of-fake-drugs-in-nigeria/


According to the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), about 13-15% of the drugs currently in circulation in Nigeria are fake. This is a large chunk of the drug market.


The effects of fake drugs in Nigeria are as follows:

1) Loss of lives


This is one the most important effect of fake drugs in Nigeria.

Imagine somebody having a critical sickness and then there’s a drug that is prescribed for the person that can save the person’s life if taken in a particular dosage.

The person’s relations struggle to raise some money and buy the drugs and the drug is given to the sick person.

However, unknown to them, the quality of these drugs has been reduced by as much as 80% and remember, this person is in a life threatening condition.

The result is that the person is not responding as he should.

He may not even be responding at all and the person keeps getting worse.

At the end of the day, person dies.

In spite of the fact that drugs are prescribed and procured, the person eventually dies.

This is what can happen when somebody is treated with fake drugs.




2) Loss of money


These fake drugs are mostly sold at or near the price of the original drugs.

When someone buys a drug which is fake adult, rated at the price of the standard drug, the person wastes his money at the end of the day for a drug that doesn’t work.


3) Lack of trust in the Nigerian health care system

The issue of fake drugs leads to loss of trust in the Nigerian health system.

Imagine buying a drug, and unknown to you is fake drug.

Then you begin to take this drug.

Days or even weeks down the line, you still haven’t gotten any relief from the ailment.

This may make it to lose confidence and the doctor and start questioning his level of competence.

It ultimately leads to loss of confidence in the Nigerian health system.



4) Bad image of Nigerians


People outside Nigeria will definitely be amazed. They will presume that since fake drugs can be produced in Nigeria, Nigerians can literally fake anything.

We can also look at it from another angle. When someone with a medical condition and is on drugs, wants to visit Nigeria for a whole, the person will be worried as to how to access genuine drugs while still in Nigeria.

In summary, drugs from Nigeria are actually looked at suspicion by people that don’t reside in Nigeria because of these issues of faking of drugs.

At the end of the day, this takes back the hand of the clock as part of the efforts to present a good image of Nigeria to the outside world.



5) Emotional or Psychological stress


A fake drug cannot bring a solution to a patient's sickness.


This leads to more stress on the part of both the people that are sick as well as their caregivers.

A lot of uncertainties, anxiety and worries come into play.

The caregivers are worried because the sick person is not getting better despite all their efforts.

This ultimately leads to stress on everybody’s part.

IT IS A LIE.

NIGERIA'S LITERACY RATE IS OVER 75%, SO HOW THE HELL CAN ONLY LESS THAN 25% OF KIDS BE ABLE TO READ?

UNESCO IDIOTS. ONE FOOL THERE WILL SIT IN AMERICA ON HIS COMPUTER AND TYPE UP ANY STUPID, NASTY, FAKE STATISTIC FROM HIS ANUS, JUST TO GET MORE FUNDING.

While we don't know how they arrived at 75%, don't forget Nigeria already has about 15 million out of school children.

For the ones in school, many are not doing well; some don't have Maths teachers; some have teachers that don't even know what they are teaching.

All these are contributing factors.

We may not totally agree with 75%, but we don't think they are too far from the truth.

kennybabs1980:
My younger brother (half brother) and his wife believes so much in online investments. I called him and advised him seriously against such phantom businesses last year July but he didn't take my advise. His wife even insulted me at a time because of the advise.

At that time he was into a particular one called Kala. He collected money from people to the tune of N9.6million in the name of trying to help them invest in Kala. The investment went under and he is now using family members to pressurize me to assist him especially to secure a loan from a particular coop society I belong to so that he can pay off four of the people he help to invest who are seriously troubling his life with police and thugs.

I am not willing to do this under any condition. I have told him to sell off our late dad's landed property if he can get a buyer but people are offering peanuts and two of our sisters (his own full sibs) are insisting on getting their own share immediately it is sold, one even said she didn't send him on online investment. If he can get buyer for the property, I can help talk to our other siblings but these two, no way!

How can I help this stobborn brother without hurting myself?

Who will pay for the loan? You or him?

APC Leadership Moves To Sack Enugu State Chairman Over ‘Scanty Presidential Rally’ For Tinubu

Class01:
So I had this conversation with someone and it seems we both have different opinions about it so we decided to seek for wider opinions.

Which will you go for
1) A lecturing job in a state college of education outside Lagos (salary: Normal naija lecturer package.)

2) A data analyst ( stock invoice) in Lagos which requires you to go to work Monday to Saturday. (Salary 200k)

Which will you pick and why?

Many Nigerian lecturers are without salary for up to 6 months this year, because of ASUU strike.

Go for lecturing if your aim in life is to impart knowledge or to become a university professor.


However, from the little we know, there is a lot of opportunities in the data analytics field and you can even move to higher paying jobs within 2-3 years if you apply yourself.

The choice is yours.

This DENTISTRY/MEDICINE degree is it really worth it..? This is the second person I'm seeing live failing the 2nd MB exam resit, repeat and taking jamb again, waste of 5 years wtf..! Getting to 3rd year they fail and resit, repeat(another 1 year) fail again and they still go ahead to rewrite jamb nawa ooo, this is the second person I'm seeing doing this in UNN God Abeg

The person may have a fundamental problem that is making them fail again and again.

Even average students scale through med school, with hard work.

He needs to reevaluate. Maybe poor study technique/ habit(s), poor comprehension, poor exam preparation, poor networking with his colleagues and tutors, etc.

Finally, he may find fulfillment elsewhere. For instance, Chimamanda Adichie quit medical school at some point to pursue other interests.

Medicine is not a do-or-die affair.

You can read our tips on how to scale through medical school.

Lemmy123:

Of course, this post wasn't for me but I'm interested in this role. Please consider adding me to the bro that sent you a mail earlier

Send us a mail on the above email address.

.

About 5 years ago or even less, you had newly graduated doctors stay months or even up to one year, jumping from one hospital interview to the next, before getting a place to do their housemanship.

This was the same for resident doctors. A hospital could call for an interview. Thousands of doctors would apply. Some even charged 5-10k application fee, for an unemployed medical doctor to buy form.

At the end of the day, only 100 doctors or even less would be given appointment as residents. The rest would roam on to the next hospital that has an interview. Most hospitals employ every 2-3 years, meaning if you miss out that season, you have to wait till another 3 years or so.

Most of them work in private hospitals in the meantime, hoping to get government employment as soon as possible. Many private hospitals are exploitative and pay pittance.

We complained and cried about it, but it fell on deaf ears.

Now they have seen health systems in other countries that will employ them ASAP, why do we turn around and condemn them? Many of them wanted to work for the Nigerian government. Unfortunately, they were technically first rejected by their fatherland.



Some that had merit but no money to pay their way through failed to secure employment. Wouldn't you be frustrated too after spending 5-10 years post-NYSC trying to secure a residency training slot, to no avail?

We can no longer complain. We only watch the unfolding drama.

In the past one year or more, it's hard to count any federal teaching hospital that has organized a full scale interview for resident doctors. Most of their residents have gone. The tables have turned.

They now resort to posting adverts on different WhatsApp groups asking interested doctors to come and resume work immediately. Some even now accept doctors without Primaries to start first, and write the exam later.


Unfortunately, some lessons have still not been learnt.


Even now, as we speak, there are doctors looking for employment in government hospitals who have to settle the Admin staff with hundreds of thousands of Naira before they get employment. Yes, in 2022. Don't ask who shares the money? Corruption is basically everywhere.

We will not say further.

Greenscientist:


Can a CORRUPT Nigeria avoid to pay 350k or more to every new Nigeria? NO!

Do we need more doctors in Nigeria? YES!

IF they want to learn here to go and practice abroad they should be charged more.

There's is no other profession in Nigeria with shortage unless they don't want to employ people.

The fair solution is :

If you want a subsidised education you should be ready to serve the country

If you don't want to serve the country you should be ready to pay to have the education, Datti's University in Abuja pays like 2-3M for their medicine - They should pay it too.

I will try my last shot at medicine this year(Direct entry), if I scale through school and finishes uni, I will leave this country immediately. This is for my own benefit but this doesn't benefit the country as a whole.

All the best Sir.

Ladygbola:
I am a fresh graduate of medicine in 2019 but I said to myself the life I have watched my seniors live wouldn't be my portion. I love everything about Nigeria but I changed my mind when I knew everything wasn't just there. Our system operates in a way that we just want people to die for nothing. You don't work a Drs ass out and expect him to earn peanut at the end of the day. We all are so much interested in what this Dr who left the system but nobody is ready to ask what made the Dr Japa? I was once working in a tertiary hospital and what I saw there made me lose hope for a better Nigeria. A Dr would be placed on call for 31 days in a month everyday and this is something that is not obtainable anywhere in the world. We just keep quiet and do as if nothing is wrong with such kind of call setting. Hospital management board are not ready to employ enough hands and all we do is to blame the poor doctor who wants to survive as an ordinary citizen. The government says you are entitled to do 64 unit call but the person ends up doing 600 unit call. Nobody will see a means to be comfortable and decide to be patriotic when the sane government that rules you don't patronize the hospital you all are clamouring for doctors to stay behind. Spare me all this crap guys. You will definitely do the same thing if you guys where in the shoes of doctors. Don't come with emotional blackmail that the government used tax payers money because NURSES, LAWYERS, ENGINEERS, TEACHERS, AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS are also leaving on their large numbers who same tax payers money was used to train them as well and any punishment that is metted on Drs must be across all fields because Drs are not the only people leaving in their large number. Life is all about competition and means of survival. Don't just come here and say trash to we Drs that have left the country because we left for our sanity. If you think Nigeria needs the help of Doctor's to stay it's not too late to pick jamb form and enter medicine alongside with your family members. Don't ever speak bad of any Nigerian doctor who have left the system because the country caused it.


We all should take a good look at this call rosters and see how these DOCTORS

Dr Akinwale,
Dr Balogun
Dr Edokwe
Dr Garanga
Dr Odoka

Are currently suffering for nothing doing 600 units call instead of 64 unit call and meaning they are to be a the hospital 247/31 days without being with their family. If this doesn't touch you as a Nigerian may evil befall you and your family.

are being suffered for nothing. Taking calls more than they ought not to have taken. They should have done 64 unit call but here they are taking 600units call for some peanut at the end. These Doctors will literally have no life of their own and they will be working under depression and duress. Don't speak ill of any Doctor who leaves the system.

Thank you Doc, for speaking the truth.

Kobonaire4:


Ah no, doctors will always be welcome when the Nigerian economy bounces back

Especially those doctors that have foreign skills and qualifications

Yes Sir. That's why we earlier stated that instead of grumbling about brain drain of doctors, we should be looking at ways to convert it to brain gain, so that Nigeria and Nigerians will still benefit.

Apokalupsis:


Are you dense? ALMOST FREE? Where?

The statement shock us too, Sir

emapeteum:

What the guy said is correct. Are Doctors the only ones facing an economic crisis? The most patriotic among them are the ones in the military
They got cheap education and they want to be treated like their western counterpart.

If Nigerian doctors are the ones that got cheap education, can we list all the other Nigerian professionals who got expensive education?

afrodoc2:

Government subsidized everybody's tertiary education but only doctors are slaves that must be forced to stay back and suffer while other Nigerians can leave the country.

Thank you Sir

okuta007:


let them leave, all this noise is so irritating to the eyes to read- as if leaving nigeria is a guarantee for success - let me tell you, 80% of them won’t even pass their certification exam in 10 years and will end up becoming biology avd physics teachers while trying each year to pass - i have seen many like that in California- dem think say with that their 11 BC medicine they studied in Nigerian Universities is enough to be recognized as a doctor in a place like USA? maybe in Malawi or Gabon - no developed society will recognize them as doctors when they step of the plane, except they go back to school spending years and pass the certification exams in those countries and after paper matter and unending bills and expense of living abroad drag them left and right ….. before they know what is happening - many will end up in professions far from medicine in the end -

Abroad is not Nigeria where you have the luxury to be a student - do nothing and be catered for as our parents did for us in Nigeria - here you work to pay bills as you go to school and only very few people will survive that lifestyle adjustment abroad because many will get frustrated and some may end up becoming mortuary attendant or package delivery agents just to pay the bills and eventually get tired of paying ihuge amount of money trying to get certified without success - the grass is always greener on the other side


in their eyes abroad is all milk and honey - they are all welcome to taste it, Amen

Most of them are going to UK and Saudi and as we speak, these countries are still rushing Nigerian doctors. Besides, in Medicine you learn everyday.

If you are in the USA, Sir, why are you against your brothers coming over?

Why don't you come back and endure in Nigeria with us, Sir? Were you born in the USA?

wacuc0:

Let's understand this, our medical professionals are not investing in there field in this country. In the US and UK they are rushing to are mostly investment made by Private individuals. Why is our own different.

List 10 private individuals that have actively invested in the health field in Nigeria?

That kind of money you are talking about cannot be made by an honest Nigerian doctor who works in a federal or state hospital.

This is why people like Ngige and Saraki ran to politics. It gives them more money than medical practice.

Kobonaire4:



Do as sane countries do and raise the tax to gdp ratio and remove subsides on petrol and power...so that there would be more money for the medicos to stay.

Why the common man is against subsidy removal is because the money "saved" from it will still be squandered and won't be of benefit to anybody.

The truth is that if those trillions spent on subsidy annually are used to revamp our health and education sectors, as well as offer free healthcare and free tuition as well as scholarships, Nigeria would have gone far by now.

Unfortunately, when subsidy is removed, the same Mr. Okeke, whose state government is owing salary on top #30,000 minimum wage, will still buy a litre of fuel for #500 and still pay thousands of Naira or more from his pocket anytime he or any family member goes to the hospital.

This is one of the reasons why crime, drug trafficking and other vices thrive in Nigeria. These issues are not being addressed.

Rolings:


And all these is happening to ONLY doctors?
Its called Job hazards and everyworker is exposed to it......its even there in those advanced countries too....
The point is government has done a lot with subsidizing medicine so that many people can get trained and become doctors and play their role in the society.
The best equipped and staffed hospitals in Nigeria still remains public hospitals like UCH ibadan UNTH enugu ABUTH zaria.
Yes its not enough but if doctors keep gaming the system how will governments aims of training more doctors be met.
If i were president....once you got subsidized medical education you must work at leat 10 years for government.

It happens everywhere too.

It's also not only doctors that japa. Virtually every profession in Nigeria is affected.

We should be looking at workable solutions, not clamping down on those who are leaving.


How can the brain drain be turned to brain gain?

As for leaving the country, many more will still leave, no matter the outcome of next month's election.

barbstee:
And many of them actually studied the course for almost free

Will they have been able to study medicine abroad with the same fees they used without scholarship?

But all they are after now is money, money and money. I'm not saying they shouldn't be well taken care of . But they should also remember that this same country made them who they are.

But an average Nigerian isn't patriotic

In state and private universities in Nigeria, medical students pay 400,000 and above as tuition alone, not to add other costs. Hostel is not free, feeding is not free, transport is not free, textbooks are not free. It takes millions to support such a student for the entire 6 years or more they spend in medical school.

What is the minimum wage in Nigeria, Sir? How do you think these ones are able to afford this training?

yemmit90:
Although doctors are not well paid and their working condition cannot be compare with those in Europe and Ameica, I will suggest government should enact a law that will mandate any trained doctor within Nigeria educational system to practice for at least 10 years before he/she will be eligible to seek employment in another system or country. This is the best way to make they appreciate or useful to a system that subsidise their training for them. Government too should try as much as possible to increase doctors pays and improve their working condition.

Medicine science is an highly expensive department, if not that government subsidise it heavily, many of these doctors won't be able to pay the tuition fee, let alone other equipments needed for ther practicals.

Virtually all graduates are underpaid in Nigeria, and alot of us are still coping one way or the other. Government is useless, but we should not allow our grievances to cause another grave problem in the future. If all competent doctors and nurses leaves, then what is the hope of a common man who need urgent medical attention. What is the usefulness of spending billions of tax payers money to train them and not useful to the same system?

Will the government enact the same law for every other course, Sir? Why only for Medicine? Are other courses not subsidized as well.

In order of cost, medical students pay one of the highest fees in the Nigerian educational system. Then they have to buy textbooks worth tens of thousands of Naira.

Teachers will soon start leaving. Will you tell the government to hold them down too?
