Nigeria is Champion of the world!!;U-17 Golden eaglets team team emerge world cup Winners..

The Final was a fantastic match and the young Nigerian lads were the superior team on the day, clinching the U-17 world cup title in style,beating the Mexican team 3-0 at the tournament held in UAE over the past weeks.

What has your work experience with Jumia been Like?? Ex Staff spreads out dirty Linens&shocking secrets of goings on..

So I just came across something on Juliablaiseblog about a Jumia ex staff shared her experience on what really goes on on there and from my research and searching for reviews I found another source which I will share at the bottom of this post

For privacy purposes I have removed some names mentioned in the Original article

Excerpts below..

"I just read different posts on different blogs about the iROKO staff’s experience, and I felt I had to just speak up and forget. Honestly, this isn’t an iROKO disease alone, other Nigerian tech startups(especially those with german ties) are following this route.

I used to work in a top position for Jumia Nigeria, a retailer whose parent company, Rocket Internet’s hiring and firing speed followed it to Nigeria and Africa.

If you have ever heard about Oliver Samwer’s famous blitzkrieg, trust me, the things that happened in Jumia Nigeria were worse. Labour laws in Nigeria need to be revisited or well publicized. Do Nigerian workers even have rights? In Jumia, you are smiling one day, the next day you are fired. 

First in 2012, 50 members of staff were fired, then more were hired, then more fired again, the total number of staff fired in this period was over 100. One of the most annoying things were having to take pictures and smile when members of the press came visiting! Lies! All lies!

Jumia is not a Nigerian company, and for all I care they don’t care about Nigerians! Don’t be deceived by the Cameroonian and Nigerian figurehead “Harvard CEOs”, they have puppet masters pulling their strings. Jumia Nigeria has been sold! Their balance sheets are worse than you can imagine! And in a few months to years they will become subsidiaries of a bigger company and the CEOS are just waiting to cash out on their cheque, and present staff are just pawns to be used till the time comes.

Jumia Nigeria’s strategy was to lure staff from their companies with big salary promises, and after a very short time, leave you with the lower end of the straw, they never leave you even after they “fire” you, but continue to follow you to your new place of work trying to ensure you never get another chance at working. The company leaves out its investors code – hire, fire, move and dispose with rocket speed. They sack staff and hire like the wind.

I worked with over 60 different faces in the period I was there. Working for Jumia was like hell; we would resume at 8am and leave at 9pm for normal staff and much latter for management staff, understandable for a startup but not when the bait is threats of firing and legal actions

The line managers were tools to perpetuate the acts, and the coup de grace would be when the line manager gets fired after he had fired the other staff, I saw this happen in marketing and human resources while I was there.

And if you are wondering, I was sacked and plan to take legal action soon for continued harassment and for wrongful termination. Why was I sacked? Was it for going home early at 9pm or not sacking my entire team? Well I hope a court of law will get it out of them.

Blogs and newspapers should stop being deceived by Jumia's berlin pr team, only those who have worked within the system fully understand the system.

I believe all ex jumia staff need to speak up to help end this madness.

Below is another Version by the same person fromAfricamusiclaw.com the Auhour of this said blog took out time to break down the Laws regarding the "IROKO" saga so you could head on there to read up on that.In the meantime here's another version the Ex Jumia staff sent to her blog as well


Brand New Video Tiwa Savage feat Don Jazzy "Eminado".

This Video is just really nice,Clarence Peters wherever you are you a a great man lol..Plus you dont just shout your work does all the shouting for you which is absolutely brilliant.

So Mercy Johnson has been banned what does that even mean??


So its probably stale news that mercy Johnson has been banned by Nigerian Movie Marketers for charging exorbitant fees for her movie roles.

No doubt mercy Johnson is  a professional to the core and her craft stands her out but with productions done on very meagre budgets which is probably the result of the low quality we are often faced with would it be okay for a single artist to charge within the ranges of 2Million Naira per movie??

Well you might say if they cannot afford it they should use other Actresses right?? Mercy thinks so too see her tweets below..



Would it be a good Idea to remind mercy that she only came to limelight some couple of years back when there was a similar ban on artistes like Genevieve Nnaji,Omotola Jalade Ekehinde,Richard Mofe Damijo and lots more.

These Actors were banned, there was need for a fresh face,with a thirst and hunger for the spotlight and it all just clicked as good timing for the beautiful star we all love on our screens today.

Nollywood does not have a standard framework of production or even sales.The marketers to an extent are the ones who put their "Monies" on the line and risk the piracy canker worm to still churn out movies. Well aside for individual or syndicated producers like Kunle Afolayan,Tunde Kelani ,the royal arts group amongst others and that's just very few who brave all odds to make quality films with costs running into millions and millions.


So what does 2014 look like for Mercy Johnson?? I really fear for her career, Is it that time for someone else to hit it big like she also did off the ban of other stars? will  she sort out her issues with the marketers? Will she begin to see a nosedive?? Will she  begin her own production line producing  her own movies? or just simply hit the International scene big time? In all, only time will tell!
