A Nigerian man on twitter has called out the founder of irokoTV for subjecting his staffs to workplace pressure. He berated IrokoTV for asking staffs to go out of their way to bring in new customers and meet ridiculous set target. He claimed to have obtained testimony from those suffering in silence and would pursue a move to report irokoTV to Nigerian Labour congress.. It looks like it's going to be an interesting battle here..

I saw the viral thread on twitter..

The young man has a point.. Nigerians take their fellow Nigerians as slaves.. To Jesus be our glory...

It's a private company. If you accepted the targets during interview and months later you're complaining, it simply means you're unfit for the job and should leave for someone who can do it effectively to take over.

Are they the only private company? abeg!!
To think those sales girls are overused and underpaid is beyond me.. chaii

You people are heartless..

Rubbish

When you went for the job interview, didn't you accept to work based on target. If the targets are too much, why not reject the job, or resign immediately. I know his type, lazy employees, they don't want targets so they can come and sit in the office all day, doing nothing but gossiping and gisting with other staff, and end up collecting full salary at the end of the month. The company won't get any income from them, but will be paying salaries it goes bankrupt and shuts down, and these lazy staff responsible will open their dirty, maggot infested mouths to say it's buhari's fault. If you don't meet target, how do you expect them to pay your salaries.

They think private firms are like government establishments that have money to waste around and useless, redundant staff like himself.

This is why most firms prefer to employ expartriates like the Indians. Unlike Nigerians that are lazy with the stupid mentality of "why should I kill myself here, it's not my father's business", foreigners have strong work ethic. A Nigerian will sit all day in the office doing nothing while the foreigner will prefer to be in the heat of the production area personally supervising. After Nigerians lazy around and do nothing, they'll now say "na where man dey work, na for their e dey chop, no e make them dey callam workshop" and start stealing the little money the company has. Chai.

If you don't understand yet, go and establish a marketing-intensive business. Hire Nigerians and put them on as big as a salary you want, without marketing targets tied to their salary. Watch and see how you'll go bankrupt. While you think their on the field marketing, they'll either be at home or using the time to run their own business.

I've seen firms go down because of this. They come back from Abroad, decide to start a business, after reading motivational books and seeing the style used for sensible staff abroad, they decide to use it for Nigerians and start pampering their staff. Before they know what hit them, they've closed down and their back to square one. The lucky ones will be able to get back on their feet after few decades. This time they've learnt their lesson, they'll treat Nigerians like they deserve to be treated, with an iron fist, and when they do this, business begins to boom.


He can insult the CEO all he likes, the fact is that he has achieved was him and his father couldn't dream of achieving, a media empire providing wonderful services for fans of the Nigerian movie industry, all over the world. Let him start his own business and employ staff and pay them as much as he wants without tieing their performance to salary and let's see if he'll last.

them full Ibadan no be only irokotv, I don see person wey collect 29naira(twenty nine naira) as salary after they porate their salary.....

Nigerian Companies



hmmm

i wud rather pass

Odiegwu o, this is really shocking.

The way on of their agents disturbed my life ehn, i had to subscribe by force...
She was too gentle Sha...

The target thing can make one sick

You people are heartless..

how much are they paid biko?

and how much is your government paying their staff?

Most Nigerian private companies are like that. If Nigerians were the pioneer employers in the oil industry, it wouldn't be this lucrative

No wonder that guy is always disturbing me to subscribe.... If it's bollywood now, I can subscribe 50 times in a year.

There is a big Nigerian company here in Lagos who is asking people to sign unrealistic bond and there after "dismiss" them when they resign from the company without paying the bond, their cup will soon get full. Guys are coming for them.

Hmmm... Nigerian employers are like that... Also Nigerian workers can be lazy. Many don't want to work.

Person go know the conditions attached to a job, the person knows it is ludicrous but instead of the person to decline it and go for a job he/she knows he/she can handle, the person would go ahead and accept it only to come to social media to lament later..

The tweet is needless and unreasonable. There is no organization that does not set target for its employees. For me, it’s not about the target per se, but setting attainable targets and encouraging staff that meet them by paying reasonable bonus. It becomes wickedness when employees go extra mile for the organization in meeting the target and his salary is delayed or denied of performance reward.

Those complaining should just resign and go to their village to farm.


However, I always ask myself, if I could put in this effort in another man’s business looking for customers, what stops me from channeling same energy into my own business.

In short, plan to be your own boss!

Thank God for social media. The cheapest way to cry out. These celebrities, motivational speakers, and politicians are all looking after themselves only. Who are they motivating? They talk because of their stomach. Period!

Sighs....

Buhari...... whyyyyyyyyyyy !!

not only Iroko guys even our so called banks are doing this target things,but the difference there is no sacking threat involve

It's not like they even have interesting movies or series there, very boring something

God of thunder please don't forget your correction slap

Hmmmmn

I hope hes ready to call out banks, Jumia et all.

Sometimes, its the job applicants cum staff that bring such upon their head. They try to impress during interview and in their desperation , raise the bar by offering to surpass whatever value the HR/company are asking for.

Its hard doing business in Nigeria, everybody wants to stsy afloat and make profit. And you can always resign if you cant keep up.

hi

Married?

Poor and lazy people will not cease to amaze me.
Their entitlement mentality is beyond imagination.
I work in a private firm and happen to be in d mgt team.
Companies are not charity organisations.
If you tink it's easy to start n run a company, proceed to cac n register urs.
U want him to pay u fat salaries n allowances ryt? Where do u expect d money to come from if u dnt meet ur target?
It is very idiotic to bash a firm online wen u r free to resign n leave them to crumble to ur satisfaction.

If only Nigeria had a good labor force

No don't say that because am also into sale job you the best thing in this our line is for you to be meeting your target month in month out because that the pressure on every sale job and secondly where did you want the company to see there salary because if they could not pay there salary now we will be the one here calling them all sort of names just for the irokotv to ease there target because Nigerians don't have enough time to watch movies like before everyone is looking for money
