Mr Ogunbanjo made this known while speaking as a guest on Channels TV Sunrise programme this morning. The panel discussed the Lagos Mast Policy which according to Mr Ogunbanjo was a case of multiple taxation. He said this has adverse effect on telecom companies with some of them laying of staff such as Etisalat that just disengaged 2,000 of its staff last week.

Since on monday, old gist
ReplyDeleteLiar....my bro work there. Etisalat staff strength is not even up to 2,000. Only 74 peop were sack though he said its based on performance.
ReplyDeleteAnyways....this is not a good development at all
Linda even diamond bank. Other company is also doing the same.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most useless and baseless associated ever found.

2. National Association of biro users
3. National association of landlords and landladys

Very stupid country we live in
My mum always wants me to be self employed or work for the govt coz of this nonsense! I pity those guys that lost their jobs.its not easy
ReplyDeleteHiannn.... Wahala dey O! God help us in dis country.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely untrue, and this clown is going on tv with false information. There is an official Etisalat statement on this and I am sure Linda could've gotten it from the folks at Etisalat to verify before posting this. Shame!
ReplyDeleteSpot on bro. It was less than 100. There are actually less than 2000 staff at Etisalat.
Deletetell me y crime nogo 2much 4dis country...mcheew!
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening in Naija? Jonathan needs to really really address the issue of growing unemployment in the country or else? As the saying goes, there will be a time when the poor will have nothing left to eat but the rich.

ReplyDeleteChai! Ds too bad wit so many unemployed graduates out der.what is ds country realy turnin into.baba God na ur hand we dey o
ReplyDelete2,000 workers that's much na wa ohBack to labour market.
ReplyDeleteIts so sad that someone of his caliber will make such an untrue statement without just taking 2 mins to call relevant stakeholders in Etisalat to confirm this bogus number. Pls if Etisalat sacks 2000 people who would remain? I work in Etisalat and I can tell you authoritatively that about 75 staff were laid off and those who were sacked were those who had performed well below average in their KPI's over a period of 3 years.
ReplyDeleteLinda I'm sure you have pple in Etisalat you could have easily called to clarify this but you chose to add voice to this bogus and lazy journalism. I'm disappointed to say the least.
True but not only those whose KPI's were low. From retail they needed 45 names! They could come up with only 42 but HOUR insisted of 45, so those who had "met expectation", and not below expectation were added to make up 45 names! Sure this also happened to some pple in the call center. This I was told by a retail manager! So sad!!
DeleteLife goes on...
ReplyDeleteThis our country sha.. When we are lamenting about the existing unemployment status of millions of people, they are adding more to them..
ReplyDeleteGod will purnish etisalat ...after they will pay those useless celebs like Genny 150million ! And be sacking poor Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteWho come remain?
ReplyDeleteLinda u shld Thank God evryday cos u no dey for all ds one, u have a secured JOb, i mean ur self-owned job. God grant us direction.
ReplyDeleteNo bé even say them dey pay better money.
ReplyDeleteThat's my beloved Etisalat. Ôђ dear me.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o! If mtn sack, etisalat go sack too den banks too, hian! Wia we dey go 4 naija.
ReplyDeleteThe leaders and the rich should be more worried about their security more than ever before, a hungry man is an angry man.
ReplyDeleteSee wickedness jor...to those fired,make una no worry. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
ReplyDeleteEtisalat couldn't cut their coat according to their size,they allegedly paid Genevieve n100,000,000($600,000 approximately) to endorse them,now people have to pay for that.....Thank you Genny for taking food off of innocent children's table.
ReplyDeleteI just think all this management of most top company are very stupid. Why pay a celebrity millon for an endorsement deal, and pple are lossing their jobs . I think it's stupid
ReplyDeleteI'm a staff of Etisalat. Abeg oooooo, it's a big fat lie. We are growing and waxing stronger......please rumour mongers should park well.
ReplyDeleteNez.....
No wonder your face is brighter than your future

ReplyDeleteHope they were paid off.
ReplyDeletePaid off 100k pere! Only 100k and were made to sign papers that etisalat owe them nothing! Can u imagine!!!
DeleteDisengage 2000 staffs haba days too much nay, 2000 plus d millions unemployed we already have in this country haaaaaaaaaaaa God pls help us
ReplyDeleteHumm Linda,at least we know why etisalat sacked workers $ it was a mass thing! What of Glo??? They treat workers like slaves, sack them without prior notice $ don't pay for the few seconds spent in the company. I can get u a copy of my friends sack letter from Glo without warning(s) from mgt(hr) but for beef from a female staff (ikeade adejumo) and pure injustice. Naija we hail. Yet Adenuga pays supper eagles trillions#whew#
ReplyDeleteMr Deolu Ogunbanjo should please get his facts straight. It is totally untrue that etisalat sacked 2000 people. Linda I believe you have contacts in this organisation, you can verify this. People were laid off because of poor performance and productivity. And the number is less than 100 across board.
ReplyDeletewat a pity
ReplyDeleteYes ohh Linda,it is true ohh. My cousin's wife was affected. This naija sef!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... May God save our country Nigeria
ReplyDeleteSee the list of celebs Kim K invited to her wedding, but they said HELL NOO!!!!
I hope it didn't affect uche? Cos she has been facing her work.
ReplyDeleteLol.
DeleteNa so we see am oooo
ReplyDeleteWhy na? I tot Etisalat is owned by Arab Billionaires. This is really a big slap on the Nigerian Economy.
ReplyDeleteWhich way naija
ReplyDeleteTerrible
ReplyDeleteNot true...yea, there was tsunami in etisalat but not 2000...not up 2 100. Sad though. We still r in shock.
ReplyDeleteMtn too is doing d same o. And the idiots are paying so much 4 stupid ambassadors. God heal our land
ReplyDeleteOkonjo-Iweala says that Nigeria has the fastest growing telecommunications sector after China.
ReplyDeleteDon't think we were up to 2,000. I was sacked too! But I'm sure God has a purpose for everything! I will find me a new Job! It is well!!
ReplyDeleteThe Lord is your strength, use this as an opportunity to start up something of yours.

This guy is a fool. He should try to verify facts or resign. Etisalat did not sack 2000 people. Only 74 people who were below performance level. Get a life people.

ReplyDeleteHypocrisy is what will kill Nigerians....DOUBLE TAXATION IN LAGOS IS GETTING OUT OF HANDS....APC states are like ..Mosquito....

ReplyDeletethis is so untrue. please get you facts right before posting. 2000 ni bo? for wia?
ReplyDeletethis is so untrue. please get you facts right before posting. 2000 ni bo? for wia?
ReplyDeletethis is too far from the truth, while not get the Etisalat side of this story before posting it, pls u shld be sued for this grand lie of the year
ReplyDeleteVery useless management in etisalat,especially in call centre.By outsourcing d department ,the idiots felt was the best idea of laying off the parmanent staff. The wind will soon be blown,and all the top officials in call centre will shamefully get their asses escourted by policemen out of the company too.A very high and unrealizable KPI was set,which only few could meet. You laying off ur staff honourably would have even been better,than subjecting them to humiliation and escourting them out of the premises by the policemen.idiots
ReplyDeleteAh 2000 workers. O ma se o.well God is in control.
ReplyDelete2000 ke wit d situaion of dis country now hmmmm.
