I can't lie to you we workers of Jumia use to stand for at least 10hrs while the expatriate sit in d office where there is AC, chairs, etc. Our warehouse at universal road via adeniyi jones is nothing to write home about because its not even conducive. Ola was working inside the highvalue where fones and other fragile things were kpt wen he slumped and be for he got to the hospital he gave up the ghost.
As big as that warehouse is, we don't have a first aid box talkless of a doctor or sick bay who takes care of we workers while those expatriate live in a house in lekki worth N72m and earn fat salaries while we workers are subjected to ridicule by giving us peanuts and making sure we work more than necessary.
This is the second time we are recording death case inside the warehouse, one was a carpenter who fell from the roof and died now its Ola. Ope, his colleague, was one of d people who escaped death when last year, he slumped and went into comma for good one month.
Ola joined Jumia in march 2013. On Monday when he was working he didn’t show any sign of sickness we have always complained that we cant be standing for 10hrs everyday but our managers didn’t say anything about it. As at 1:10pm, Ola slumped and for some minutes he was grasping for breath.
So painful so tragic, because next month is his wedding ceremony. For how long is this going to continue. Nobody is speaking for us. Now those indians want to bribe us just for the media not to get a whim of what happened in the warehouse but can this go on forever?
Quite painful.
