In Dec 2023, I randomly decided to do a road trip across West Africa solo. I started in Lagos then passed through Benin. Continued to Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry then took the ferry to Freetown Sierra leone then back to Lagos

Actually this is a “class action” I can get behind on my own dime. I’ll have a team do some preliminary research and if we decide to pursue, I’ll give an update. We need more public interest litigation.

I’ll go to another country and 1GB will last me throughout my stay but in Nigeria it is like 1hr. What’s really going on?

@logistics02 @jayhemz exactly

@jayhemz so essentially the calculation they use for our data consumption is incorrect/non-transparent? High tariff is a separate issue and that’s not what I am highlighting.

English

Johnmark Obiefuna@jayhemz·1d

The problem is tariffs. Nigerian telcos carry cost burdens Western telcos mostly don’t, > running towers on diesel generators due to grid instability, > naira volatility raising the cost of imported equipment, > multiple layers of state/federal taxation and right-of-way charges, and frequent fibre cuts/vandalism. Those costs get passed straight into tariffs. In summary, telcos need to make money and the business environment isn't friendly. So something must give.

For the most part, it’s because when you are in those counties, you are constantly connected to WiFi

@Mochievous I cannot advise anyone like that (in love) and I cannot in good conscience continue to pay that salary knowing where it’s going

I would fire her immediately

Moe@Mochievous

Now I’m torn. I feel like interrogating that might be overstepping. But …. Anyway, what’s the proper protocol here?

@Oyinda_x_ I didn’t sign a staffing agreement with the agency. Of course that’s a different scenario. I am the employer on record. Also because of local context, i’m generally careful of such arrangements

Oyinda@Oyinda_x_·2d

Um agencies are meant to get the payments lol, you are not even meant to discuss any salary terms with the staff. Maybe it works different in Nigeria sha

Moe@Mochievous

Employed a staff through an agency, agency said I need to pay them the staff’s salary for as long as they are employed, I said nope. I can pay you a commission for the search but if someone works for me, their salary would go directly to them.

@duchesskiki @Mochievous Ninety as a business owner as well I understand. But don’t worry, Zephans is still safe. As long as my cousins are alive your store will thrive. Also I will say your prices are still comparatively fair and the quality has increased to match them so do not be afraid!

I find this thing painful because I actually like and enjoy wearing Nigerian. But those prices don’t make no sense no more.

Aunty Teda@imoteda

I can tweet this cause it’s 4am… I don’t think I can afford to wear the Nigerian brands I like again 😭😭😭 Why is everything 200k for the basics? How many millions will I spend to build summer wardrobe? I’m really not rich in Lagos o.

Funmi@Factsandopinion·2d

@Mochievous You’ve already done the right thing by paying her directly. Once the salary hits her account, what she chooses to do with it is her business. Unless there’s a safeguarding concern or it affects her work, you don’t need to intervene. You could but will she listen and apply it.

@Vianniey @BusayoThompson right. This is the tension point for me.

Vianniey@Vianniey·2d

@BusayoThompson @Mochievous Nah.. there's no reason why an employer should control an adult's earnings after doing their job! No reason whatsoever. If the individual decides to do giveaway with it afterwards, then so be it.

@Mochievous 1) Are they underage? If an adult does not know what is good for them, then I am afraid, it's is none of your business unless you don't mind loosing the said staff. Because if you tamper with that arrangement, she will leave

@BusayoThompson hmm this is an interesting point actually. From my own end, I was thinking financial autonomy but it is a fair point. I’ll revisit this angle

Omoba@BusayoThompson·2d

@Mochievous There's a reason the agency exists ma'am, whilst you may think they may be pretty harsh in their operations, they regulate and perhaps see things you many never have envisaged. Hence, your sympathy for your staffer might be your own undoing alongside hers eventually.
