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 Nlfpmod help me get a wider view. I am in a state of dilemma.

I won't be surprised the money for the position is like #70k-100k but somebody is greedy.

seunthomas:

Next time you sign a document always make sure you have a copy of the document. If you do have a copy of the document, then make it known to them. They are under obligation to pay you except they have a clause that allows them to avoid paying you.

Drop your account, someone should please help him

Homologous:


Send me your account number.

Covid:
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.

Purvan:
You volunteered and you're looking for funds


You're a mf bitchass 🤡

derico:
NGOs don't pay Salary.

It's a volunteer job...payment is usually not binding.
Whatever allowance they claim they'll give you, they still aren't bound by law to pay you that amount.

crossfm:
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.
