recently , I got a job to freelance with one media organization after my service . so the organization sent me to join one of it senior correspond who happens to be in control of the paper from the north.


The agreement I had with the media organization was to be freelancing for the paper without without been on their payroll, and I accepted the offer without giving it a second taught. who knows where his/her luck could shine.

happily I left Lagos based on the directives i received to commence work with him, but on getting there I realized that he is not happy with me joining him, looking as if my coming to join him was a threat or rivalry.

he hated me to the extent of monitoring my life , pursuing me with phone calls just to ensure that I play by his rules. He went to the extent of telling not to report any story direct to the paper for publication without his consent, as if that was not enough, he in even instructed me to always tell him before hand, when there is an assignment I wished to attend - so that if its a juicy one he would hijack from me.

to list few of problems i encountered, honestly have been going through a lot of pressure due to the nature of the job, coupled with his bossy attitude, a times he sends me out to cover an assignment in a long distance (which could cost me up to 2000 from my own savings) purposely for him, without giving me a transport fee or recharge card token. I sacrifice a lot sometimes to see I complete any work he personally instructed me to do for him.

I also observed that he uses some sort of delay tactics on me, just to while away my time , so that I could not be able to cover reasonable stories which when reported could be a plus for me. for instance, he only calls or direct me up and down to do him favor when I have unavoidably gathered reasonable stories that are perfect for the day ,(may a Breaking News!! he feels that he alone is in the right position to break, or prominent stories of BUHARI, Osinbajo coming to commission a building, etc) , knowing fully well that in news report , we value time , and there is possibility of not using stories that are sent in late hours.

meanwhile I had that those who worked with already before me, never enjoyed their partnership with him from morning till night, that he frustrated them until they quit.


for now, what baffles me most is that I'm getting broke already, and all the savings I had during my service time , coupled with what my people gave me before coming work has already finished.

It was even from that little savings from home and that which I got from service that used in renting an apartment, feed my self, transport from one place to another , and for other expenses.

when I contacted some of my colleagues for advise, some gave me many sort of advice that I should not put all my eggs in one basket. some advised me to search for adverts , write for other media platforms by using a pen name and lot more advices ...

it got to an extent that I was advised to create a blogging platform to adequately cater for my needz...


PLEASE Guys, ur advice and assistance is valuable, what should I do to survive this wahala?

I even wrote a story without his consent, which I think was published yesterday , he got griped by annoyance, and has summoned me to appear in office before 9: am today.

Sich poo happens oo. Prayer is the key.

U have to report him to the higher authorities, the ones who really employed u and sent you to him. Narrate ur challenges to them, if it doesn't help my guy quit. Not every job is a job.

Just Calm Down Bro. God Has Another Solution That Will Evolve From Your Boss Poo

I really don't understand. You make it sound like you MUST stay there. You are matured enough to know what is good for you. If you feel you can cope with him and no money in your pocket, okay fine. But if not do what is necessary. Coupled with that, you sound scared for your future. No one knows their future yet they forge ahead in ways they believe will benefit them in years to come.
