Good day, all. I am typing this with a lot of frustration and anger.

I was among the volunteers asked by this NGO (name withheld ) to serve as an ENUMERATOR. They told me it was a paid volunteer. We were trained in data collection using ODK and Kobotoolbox.

As a student, I had planned how I will use this stipend of 20k to provide my basic needs in school because I have no one sponsoring me.

My section does go out to collate these data on Fridays and Saturdays. Now to the issue!

Just yesterday made it a month and I was expecting the money to get foodstuffs and save like 5k for my next school fees. The program director for North Central told me that I am not entitled to a stipend because the role I am working on is just volunteering and not paid.

I was shocked because when I was told and made to sign a term of agreement it was clearly stated that I will receive a 20k monthly stipend. I then asked them to show me the document and I was surprised to see the term of the agreement was uttered.

What should I do nairalanders to get my money or should I continue without pay to get experience as an enumerator for the outside world?

Please Nlfpm.od help me get a wider view. I am in a state of dilemma.

take a photo copy of the one you signed and show them. they have used you and not ready to pay you

People are evil.

The Nigerian evil spirit is in that man. He was probably given money to pay you guys but greed has made him pocket it and tell you that bullcrap

You have a contract you signed stating 20k will be signed.

I will advise you to just leave. a company not willing to honour their contract may not respond when you use them for reference. They may say they never knew you.

If you will leave, send an email to their head office, explaining what happened in your region. It might shock you that your oga in your regaion has pocketed the money of all under him.

It’s a volunteering job you’re not expected to be paid but to be compensated in kind or cash… move on dear

Hehehe.


Some Nigerians are really a disgrace,they bring in scam in everything they do.

On Saturday I bought some items from Abuja on jiji,I negotiated a certain amount with the driver for wa bill. I was called from peace park,on getting there to collect the items,the amount changed.

The store keeper told me that was the amount the driver asked him to collect. I called the driver he is not taking my calls. I later found out it was even a different driver that brought the items.

What played out was that the driver after negotiating with me, took his own cut and zoomed off.

They will make you to start having trust issues,even when you want to buy ordinary pepper. We really need to change our attitude and perspective in life.

"sope oti lo"

what a country use the photocopy and sue them if you have

Dem don reap you

Reading

You are bringing the attention of a whole NL to just 20k matter!

Na so country hard reach?

Reach out to anyone there who can assist you with cash or allowance and then when it's time to pay back , tell them you both didn't sign any documents to that effect.Case closed


Edited with my 📲 : hungry men and Igbos terrorist are quoting me left ,right & center.

Hungry fools living in a face me I slap you apartment characterized by flood and potopoto 🤣🤣🤣

otilo -

but on more serious note - its call Volunteering for a reason. And you are a victim of mis-information. If there is no written agreement, your case lack merit

Always ensure you have an acknowledged copy of any documents to save you from all these. You have just being PLAYED.

One thing is.

Keep an open mind

Infact keep a better plan if you don't get paid.

Find alternatives.

Then fight. No one will fight for you because of 20k volunteer job.

Even people that signed salary work are owed for months.

Better keep an open mind and find alternatives too.

Hmm

Hmm...........I wonder how people make complains without full details except you are hiding something, first you blured out the name of the organisation, which means that the organisation might not even know what's going on.

2. No Name of the location, scanty details.

3. Do you have a copy of the agreement signed? No copy attached to your complains, and finally no mention of if there was any other incentives given.

If a lot of companies get the go ahead to not pay contract staffs ,they will gladly embrace it ... sorry sope otilo

If na me I go continue then give them yeye record also try my best to rubbish the one I don do before as the change the agreement I go change the record too.

Topic should be; an NGO refused to pay me for my services. Always have a copy of any agreement you sign with any person or organisation.

Move on since you dont want to mention the name of the NGO

Bro, we need to hear from both sides to know who's telling the truth. You must have signed the documents without reading the terms & condition.

Give the name of the organization

Wait for me

You work for dem, dem no pay you.. you dey come online to hide the name of the NGO... YOU NEVA READY TO COLLECT YOUR MONEY...

NEXT!!!

Hmnn

Do you have a copy of the agreement?

You too quick to write without reading to understand what he wrote.

Kindly go through that write up again.
