"How Indian-Owned Factories Are Using Nigerians As Modern-Day Slaves"

Published by Nairaland on Tue, 22 Jul 2025


<blockquote>This is not a rant. It is a painful truth that is quietly destroying the lives of thousands of Nigerians. Let me tell you whats going on inside many Indian-owned factories in Nigeria, especially in places like Ogijo, Sagamu, Agbara, Ota, Ikorodu, and Sango.<br><br>At African Foundries Ltd and many similar companies owned by Indian investors, heres how Nigerians are being treated in their own country:<br><br><b> The Reality:</b><br><br>A grown Nigerian man is paid 2,070 per day to work under hazardous conditionslifting iron, inhaling smoke, working near fire, and operating machines with no proper safety gear.<br><br>Meanwhile, Indian workers doing the same (or even less) work are paid 900,000 to 1.3 million per month, plus:<br><br>150,000 monthly allowance<br>Free food<br>Free accommodation<br>Free healthcare<br>Security &amp; privileges<br><br>Most of these Indian workers dont even do the real work. Their job is to just stand and point fingers, shout orders, and monitor.<br><br><b> Now do the math:</b><br><br>Lets say the Nigerian worker lives close to the company. His daily spending looks like this: Transport: 600 (to and from work) Food (3 cheap meals): 800 in the morning, 800 afternoon, 800 at night = 2,400 Total: 3,000 spent per day<br><br>Hes earning 2,070/day and spending 3,000/day. That means hes running on debt or hunger, and cant afford airtime, data, clothes, medicine, or even basic dignity.<br><br><b> And you wonder why crime is increasing'</b><br><br>When a man can make 100k from an illegal hustle in 2 days, but earns 60k a month for breaking his bones, .....<br><br>When his child is hungry, and a &quot;shortcut&quot; job offers fast cash, what do you expect' When a man is treated worse than an animal in his own country, he begins to lose hope and may choose crime just to feel human again. This is how the country is pushing its youth into crime, not because they are lazy, but because the system is killing them slowly.<br><br><b> Is this not slavery'</b><br><br>Yes, it is. This is modern-day slavery wearing a suit and a factory uniform. Its happening right here in Nigeria.<br><br>Nigerian lives are being devalued every single day while foreign nationals live in comfort and luxury on our land, with our resources, our sweat, and our silence.<br><br> CALL TO ACTION<br>We need to speak up. Tag people. Repost this. Share your own experiences if youve worked in any factory like this.<br>We are calling on:<br><br>@SavvyRinu<br>@AishaYesufu<br>@SERAPNigeria<br>@fijnigeria<br>@officialABAT<br>@NGRPresident<br>@nassnigeria<br>@LabourMin_NG<br>@NLCheadquarters<br><br>To stand up for thousands of Nigerians silently being exploited under these wicked systems.</blockquote><br>#JusticeForFactoryWorkers<br>#EndSlaveWages<br>#NigerianLivesMatter<br>#WakeUpNigeria
