The same workers you short-changed while serving as Governor of Kwara State? This demonic fetish man is really unrepentant.... Snipers are truly needed! Ole jatijati. He is now wishing them well after stealing away their future, this bloody rogue is richer than Kwara State.

Calm down. 2019 will soon be here. I'll advice you to pick a form and contest as a governor, so you can show Kwarans love & prosperity. This way, Saraki will be truly sorry & repent when he sees your good works which he couldn't do. For now, Saraki is certainly not the only looter, and is even yet to see a repentant one.

senate president , pls appeal to kwara state government there deducting five hundred naira for our salary every month

I still wonder why we criticize people who's voices we hear and hail the person who doesn't care about the plight of citizens and workers. We voted a care free president, who dodged a debate before he was elected. Now on worker's day, he goes cold and let's minister of labour talk for him. Please don't workers deserve to hear directly from their leader? To tell us his road map for workers.

Dont blame him. Its hard to define path in a forest full of corrupt trees with roots firmly fixed to where the nutrient originate also with leaves so wide to capture the little rain that drops from the skies.
We have to pray hard and i believe the better change we want is just around the corner.

Saraki my Hero..quote mi n loose ur teeth

I knew you will say this the moment I saw you in abuja collecting #1,000 for pro-saraki protest.

Ministry of Labour should look into this issue:

Recently, Genesis Group Nigeria, the company that owns the Genesis Restaurant and Deluxe Cinemas chain cut workers’ salaries by various percentages, with some workers even getting a 50% pay cut and some getting sacked for no reason but “the situation of the economy”.

Yes, we all know the economy is bad but as insiders, we know how much the company makes monthly and how much of our blood and sweat is put into making those billions for them.

Sometimes we are slaved tirelessly, even till late hours without getting paid overtime (company policy) all in the name of meeting “a quota”. Note: The economy doesn’t affect the company, they increased prices of their food et al to match the situation, yet they’re cutting salaries. Even if they didn’t increase prices, they would still be making profits of over 70% on most items.

Drivers and Kitchen Staff that previously earned a meagre N30,000 now earn between N15000 – N20000 and most of them can barely afford to feed their families, not to even talk about fees, rent and other bills.

A widow who works as a staff here said one of her 2 children has to stay at home next term because she can’t afford his school fees and she’s hardly employable anywhere else. The rate at which people are being laid off is unfair & inhumane not to talk about the way staff are treated.

I’ve worked in this company for years and each day I pray to God that I find a better job at a company that values its workers. Honestly, over 95% of staff here are only here because they haven’t gotten anything better and would gladly leave at the slightest opportunity.

The company owns several restaurants but can’t feed its workers properly, the food we are given is what prisoners would reject, most times its half-cooked, excessively salty, no maggi and the worst of all, no meat and they can’t even provide water for us to drink.

I am pained, I am angry, how do I explain to my children that they can no longer have 3 square meals because “my oga at the top” is a heartless and inconsiderate man who only cares about how much he makes while neglecting the large number of families he’s destroying.

If you go to any Genesis Fast food, you’d never know of our plight because the staff are forced to put on fake smiles and pretend to customers, while suffering inside. There’s no point for people to patronize Genesis anymore when despite all the money you spend, it’s all going to the pocket of one person while we the “money generators” are treated like slaves.

We have nobody to fight for us. Anybody that opposes, gets fired instantly and their terminal benefits forfeited. We know that even if the economy gets better tomorrow, our salaries will not be restored because we work for greedy sets of human beings.

We live in a country where employers get away with all sorts of things because the system doesn’t work. A company where your boss can walk in and slap you for no reason or maybe because someone annoyed him at home, is that one company?

To all of you bringing your CVs, we here are struggling to leave. God help us all. Shalom.
