Attention Arik Air.
I think this is wrong if it is true and should be addressed ASAP.
Hello Stella
How are you doing and I hope this email met you well.
Just want to draw your attention to what has been happening in arik air for some years now and now we have decided to use the media to stop this modern day slavery and I really wish if u can actually publish this and people can see the wrong doings of Arik air and how bad the staffs are been treated in so called biggest airline in Nigeria
I'm a pilot in arik air and I haven't been paid for two months and no reason why from the management of Arik air
Only the expertraites got paid just because they are experts Note: expertraites work for 6 months and get paid for 12 months why we local pilots and cabin crew work sweat and blood for 12 months and get paid for 11 months and with the look of things it's gonna be 10 months this year
Tax fraud is another thing with arik air, been working for the company for about 2 and half years BT tax clearance certificate can't be given
Pension fraud is a big issue certain percentage is bn deducted from my salary every month and not paid into my pension account.
Save our soul would really appreciate if you actually consider this and help us publish this for the world to see only then I'm sure things gonna work out well
Let's stop SLAVERY In our country''.
*Arik Air,please feel free to contact me to issue your own press release or to debunk this.Thank you.
Arik Airline always in the news, if it's not the employees, it's the employer. Clean up your acts.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder their staff always steal from passengers because they dont get paid. Like airline like staff. Thieving lot.
DeleteDon't mind Arik air. Shame on them. Imagine owing salary for months, passengers items always stolen. Ndi oshi na ndi ara!
DeleteThis is bad ! arik air dia is God oo
Delete@ tito be sure of wat u saying Arik staff do not steal from nobody. OK
DeleteNow I kn why my nude patent pumps were stolen from my luggage last year! I flew arik cos it seemed affordable. When I checked in, I reiterated what I heard an arik customer standing in front of me said at the counter,"hope my load is safe?" The black dude @ JFk said,"its safe here,but can't assure you of same in MM! They stole my shoes,the best one for that matter! No amount of "brokedom" go make me enter Arik! Shame!
DeleteWide eyed "how u doing?"...**in Wendy W's voice". lol
DeleteI'm fine sweetness.
DeleteANGELRAY SAYS
ReplyDeleteArik a big shame to u, don't know y we don't value our own, my company deducts pension from my salary for over 2yrs and the money has not been paid into my pension account, so my brother is a normal tin.
Stella na Mobitel Telecom u for help staff with o. No salary since December last year except when he paid in May only. But he flies first class in n out and drives bullet proof car around. 70 percent av left wt no hope of getting dr money back. Help us cry out o! We wey remain still dey look for job but e go better
DeleteAbeg which one is Mobitel telecom?
DeleteMobitel ke? Dats a dead coy.
DeleteWho buys their lines?
I tink I kno Mobitel at VI towards Adeola Odeku
DeleteI use Mobitel, their network has bn very bad. Now I understand.
DeleteIs this the reason their staff are always rude and un-courteous?
ReplyDeleteYes. And pls dey also want to resume flights to countries with cases of Ebola
DeleteNa today. The owner that calls black people monkeys. useless money miss road buffoon.
ReplyDeleteIf this is true then same on them!
DeleteModern day slavery in my own country!
Aint gonna happen!
And the airline is owned by a Nigerian? *sigh * this is sad.
ReplyDeleteMaybe thtz reason their staff steal from passengers
ReplyDeleteTo think I just applied for a job there... Choi.... God you are too much.. At least am sure of my salary, pension and tax in my present place of employment.. All this companies be fronting world best yet treat their staff as slaves.. God bless you poster o.. You just saved a soul
ReplyDeleteSlavery everywhere, dem go pay u 5k expect u 2 work as if u are earning 1billion,God is watching
ReplyDeleteNo wonder their staff dey misbehave hmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteArik cannot debunk stella, it is true. all my friends don run comot finish.
ReplyDeleteArumemi-Ikhide has a white-man-slave-mentality. he gives preference to expatriate who does nothing but get paid 30,000 dollars while the Nigerians who do the job, slaving day and night are being owed for months.
how much does he pay drivers? less than 40k. the other day one slumped and died - a family man. working tirelessly with no off days.
why do you think cabin crews steal on board/on air?
why do you think Ticketing officers do shady deals and loot lots of cash???
why do you think female air hostess seduce rich passengers for complimentary cards and possible dates??
they need to survive!!!!!
Arik is really messed up. Fact!
Blog lord dear, it's every where in Naija....embassy even church and skools....may God deliver us from ourselves!
Delete!!omu Iya sweet!!
Oh na waooo
DeleteArik again
ReplyDeletei read that its possible to start up an exercise 6 weeks after delivery. I want to reg in a gym immediately after delivery. Pls is there any mum in d house who did dt. Did it work fr u .did u feel dizzy while at d gym. I really want to lose weight asap. I also heard it affects breaet milk. How true is it pls. Is it really advisable to start after 6weeks or r all ds celebs decieving us wt flat tummy after few weeks of delivery. Thnks
It is very possible to regain your shape if it's in your gene immediately after delivery.
DeleteHowever most of these celebs lie and go tru routine doctors will never agree to. If you deliver naturally you can start slowly...don't over do it cos it took you 9months to gather all d weight.
If you did cs like myself pls take it easy...cos it's a major surgery.
Also if you are breastfeeding exclusive, you'll still add more weight so take it easy with the exercise....walking, cycling and swimming is good!
Btw you are still recovering your body immunity...so don't kill yourself!...Love yourself and remember the stretch and fat plus all the stress brought your little joy into the world. Peace#
!!omu Iya sweet!!
When I went to register,they asked me if my baby was up to 3 months...depending on the gym tho!did you have a cut?? is it healed?? Has your Lochea stopped flowing?? Do you still feel dizzy?? You need to watch your body first...you know your body dear.
DeletePs: those celebs have personal trainers..some of them nip and tuck immediately after child birth...but it is so do able the right way...wish you a fab body! Lol
Don't do it yet if u had a c section.
DeleteIf it's normal birth, yes, u can start but don't over do it. Remember you are breastfeeding
I started gyming after 7 weeks. I had normal birth. If CS wait till some few more weeks. I gymed but ate well cause I was breastfeeding. At the gym I focused mainly on cardio( skipping, crosstrainer and bycicle) for 3 months. Then I started on my tummy after 3 months. I am back to shape now after about a year. So it will take time cause u have to eat well and feed ur baby till 1 yr. All the best. Don't give up. Skipping is good if u can motivate urself at home and try sit up. Save gym money for now.
DeleteIts not only Arik Air. Most employers hardly ever remit pension nor tax funds. This is modern day slavery and it has to stop.
ReplyDeleteOh em gee!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Emma oh my God
DeleteThis Arik self...make dem close market nau, only dem tif, only dem delayed salary, I don tire for deir talk.
ReplyDeleteSo this is the reason why their staff dey rob people off their valuables...
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm...
Oriegwu..
nawaaoh. odikwa egwu. Arik biko aguo di na obodo... pls pay ooo
ReplyDeleteIt is really terrible. It is good that you made it public bcos pple wont know you guys are going through this. Its not as if the flights are ridiculously cheap bcos i wonder why they cant pay their staff.
ReplyDeleteDont know why we misbehave like this in Nigeria but we give foreigner priority over ourselves.
That is how a law firm refused to give my friend maternity leave. They want her to resume, not even a week. She was forced to resign. Totally inhumane
Dey prob won't contact cos it's true. Am sure aero contractor staffs will contact u soon to post der slavery tooo. Ohh least I 4get discovery air is d worst 3months counting.
ReplyDeleteI dnt knw why nigerians prefer foreigners to dia own. Evn if Arik is ownd by a foreigner u cnt tell me dey dnt hav nigerians as top managrs. It's so very bad.
ReplyDeleteIt is soo true. I work @ the airport and they staff complain so much. No salary fir months sometimes. The last thing an airline wants to do is joke with pilot's. Ooooooooo. Hian
ReplyDeleteWhat's this nau? Slaving us in our country again? Only in Nigeria...
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised, everybody knows Arik air dnt treat their staff right. They owe salary like kilode and asper your pension, na long thing. Your staff union needs to do more to get the mgt to act right.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad..write an open letter to the mgt

Mr pilot, your gbagaun no be here o, haba!
ReplyDelete1. Staff has no plural
No' reason why' is tautology; it's either
No reason was given or
We weren't told why
I better stop here, where bbc dey sef?
Arik air, you've heard your staff, please do what is needed.
#notomoderndayslavery
Mr. English Master, well done ooo! The guy has not been paid, so the finesse of his grammar is the least of his worries for now.
DeletePay up Arik air if the allegation is true. That was how my dad was owed for two years by the company he worked with and they still claimed stupid rights on top of everything. *Rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteAeegurl...
If this is true, then wahala dey. Even pilots are not paid? These are people who fly your aircrafts?? This is really bad. Stealing, they are first, salary again kwa? The ogas are the ones enjoying the money they make nah. Their wahala is just too much. * its staff not staffs. Expatriates and not expertriates as in experts, I believe?
ReplyDeleteMan,this is so wrong on many levels! Why is it that these things only happen in 3rd world countries? How can the staff not be paid for 2months? Too much corruption....
ReplyDeleteThe poster is a fool. So as a pilot he/she thinks that it's on a blog that they should air these grievances? When the industry is regulated? This person is obviously a disgruntled staff trying to damage Aries reputation rather than trying to get paid. Fool!
ReplyDelete54 years Independence day fool! Go and pay your staff. All these petty thieves. Passenger goods una go steal, salary again? Una no go pay. Even if he is a disgruntled staff, is he not working for his money. He is not asking for any other thing other than his pay. Why cheat him of his benefits. Useless thieves. Na you come be the fool for here.
DeleteFunny how Nigerian employers feel they're doing you a favour by paying your salaries... Damn you!!! I'm working for you too, so it's 50 50!!!!
DeleteAnon 11:52 ....u are so insensitive. Why should an airline as big as Arik owe her employees in the first place? These people have responsibilities and people they fend for. So how do they expect them to survive without salary? People who get their salaries paid regularly are still trying hard to make ends meet,let alone those who are not paid.
DeleteA man won't wake and start lamenting on base less things. there's always some element of truth in dis things...
ReplyDeleteCan't u guys secretly report them to internal revenue for not paying their workers tax and also report them to your national social security and pensions commission,it's a criminal offense so they can be prosecuted...
ReplyDeleteThey don't need to secretly do that again. It is now in the open. IRS should wake up and do their work.
DeleteLike u don't know the nig system, the owner of arik air wld b friends of the chairman of the board, how do u want IRS to work then?
DeleteBtw ur English is awful...
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it ,I always fly arik air for my business trips and those cabin-crew are very good in handling my luggages...please they should be paid.
ReplyDeleteThey handle ur luggage well cos they want to steal from u they are thieves
DeleteThis kelvin is only 17yrs old. Don't mind the boy. Flying for business ko, flying for akara ni. Silly boy. .. make u no force me go report you to your mama. Which kain lie be this from such a small boy.
DeleteOh kelvin is 17 no wonder he left such a cold comnent abt ini edo unable 2 birth. D msg enter my bone marrow. If u r not careful I will curse/swear for u.
DeleteIt's high time Arik does something about their bad image
ReplyDeleteBoarded Arik once before...no bad experience as people always claim but i wont lie i was so scared about flying with them due to all the sob stories i have heard and read...i didn't even blink an eyelid to sleep all through my journey.
Dont think i can fly with them again sha cos i love my peace of mind more than silver and gold.
"It's high time April did" revert and thank me later
DeleteBank
Stella dis is soooo true, my younger brother is a pilot there tooo. He complained about the same issue and the treatment given to indigenous pilots who slave and work more than the so called expatriates
ReplyDeleteNaija d land of anything goes,'a place where every one comes and does as he wants,a land of compromised,ass licking and corrupt govt!damn it#
ReplyDeleteI weep for my country.
Haba this is not news naa.
ReplyDeleteBeen happening since 1660
Most companies in Nigeria just slave their staff. After all the money they charge for flight fare?
ReplyDeleteVery very correct! Stella all companies with expatriates are guilty of this. Each time we go out to inspect these companies,we see stuvs that makes us weep for our country.i don't know why Nigerians feel 'oyibo's' shd be treated like kings o. We go to their country and hardly get decent treatment from them yet they come here and get the best.please stella,keep exposing the useless companies,maybe they will get to change this way.
DeleteNa today ds kind of slavery abounds in both big n small organization. The TUC n NLC hav a need t rise up t deprivation of ds kind. Its nt only wen dere is increase in fuel price dey shud b active. Arik air we await ur response.
ReplyDeleteEverything is wrong with this Arik air walai!
ReplyDeleteBLOG ANALYSER: hmmmm! Na wa ooh
ReplyDeleteUseless management, last month I gave my sister money to get me ticket for traveling, I told her to book for me at aero contractors, she came back and gave me arik air ticket, I shouted at her immediately and rush back to the airport and ask them to refund my money that am no longer traveling, FEAR OF LOSING MY GRINDED FOOD STUFF, they refunded my money and I travelled the next day with AERO, I hate ARIK FOR REAL
ReplyDeleteTreating people like slaves in their own country isn't just wrong, it's the height of wickedness & evil. Dear Arik Air, you've been given the benefit of the doubt, speak out now or forever be damned for mal-treating your staff. Meanwhile, isn't there supposed to be like a pilots' association before whom matters such as this can be tabled coz I fear the airline might decide to punish its Nigerian pilots for exposing the rot going on there.
ReplyDeleteThe annoying part is that they pay your foreign counterparts, that's not fair to be honest, this should be stopped.
ReplyDeleteMr Lyca
Arik with the worst publicity still gets the highest patronage
ReplyDeleteArik the thief
Aril the cheat
Arik the liar
Who is the owner of Arik airlines?
Surely not an Igbo man
Arik please pay up
ReplyDeleteArik you people should fear Chineke oo
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Pilots that aren't paid as at when due. Cabin crew staff and ground operations staff perpetually have their salaries delayed! Tell me if there won't be a greater urge for these staff to defraud the company!? I know Arik has tried by taking a lot of job applicants off the market,but they can do better and pay salaries early enof!
ReplyDeleteOnly 2 months late?! Arik is improving, I must say
ReplyDeleteREALLY??
DeleteThis is so true. The management at arik are very wicked I have a friend who works there as a ticketing officer and she says the same thing. Their pay is not constant. My worry is if it has gotten to the pilots how safe is it. Knowing that the people who are operating these machines are not in a good state of mind. This I believe is enough for the NCAA and the ministry of aviation to look into this information
ReplyDeleteBusiness Hallmark and This Day still rank tops in mistreatment of personnel. Nigerian entrepreneurs are sick, every single one of them.
ReplyDeleteNigerians complain about maltreatment in their country. Why? Imagine the so-called pilots being owed 2 months salaries in arrears and they are still flying. SMH. The day you people have a meeting, go on strike unannounced and let management fly the planes themselves, then you sure will get paid. ARIK is not enslaving you, you are enslaving yourselves. People are just crazy! Person dey owe person for 6 months, and the person still dey go work with lamentations while still making money for the employers. STOP WORKING and be a man for crying out loud!
ReplyDeleteIs it only Arik? Come to Orange Drugs Ltd n see worst tinz. Stupid asswipes.
ReplyDeleteI won't blame the white man, why? because there are black men in those companies that are in top positions, what have they done to protect the interest of the black man? Once they have been taken care of they forget their own. In Europe if a company belongs to a black man the white in top position won't allow you treat his people any how, even their laws won't allow you. Nigerians should start asking themselves questions and stop blaming the white man.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed sad and dangerous too. Arik spends more money on any kind of publicity that will put them in the limelight as the best airline, whereas their staff are being owed since forever.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder their cabin crew and ground staff keep stealing from their passengers' luggage. This has happened to me twice! Anyday I think of it, I feel like suing them ( but we all know how our legal system in Nigeria is ). I swore never to fly them again, but there are no other options. For instance, Abuja to Enugu route has just one flight everyday and it's an Arik flight. So I had no choice than to fly Arik again. Sad!
I also noticed recently that their pilots fly so rough that you'd think he just had a very nasty fight with someone. I'm beginning to think the nasty fight is with their employer!
Dear Arik Pilots, please remember that the passengers on board have families and friends to go back to and they are not the cause of your predicament with your employer! May God be with us all! Amen!
The problem with Arik Air is the Nigerian factor shit.....even when sanctioned by the Nigerian civil aviation authority a call most times comes in from ogas at the top....they keep owing and owing dues.....it's just a but mire modern and better than Nigerian airways..
ReplyDeleteDear Pilot, report cases such as this to the appropriate governmental authority. The NCAA via the Ministry of Aviation typically request that complaints such as these be forwarded to their organziation and your privacy will not be compromised. It is in the interest of the public that people in health/safety related positions such as these are treated fairly and well. It is a critical issue and should be addressed urgently before disgruntled pilot turn to kamikazee warriors with passengers on board.
ReplyDeleteThe pension fraud thong is true o, i was at an Arik ticketing office and i overhead the staffs discussing about their pension. The lady was complaining that they have been deducting money from her salary since she joined the company but its not reflecting in her pension account. When are we ever going to get anything right in this country?.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish we Nigerians could co-operate a completely Boycott Arik. Its ridiculous...Anyways we have allowed them to get away with it so why not
ReplyDeleteArik Air is shit.....I have resolved never to use my money to buy an Arik Air ticket anymore.
ReplyDeleteAre they crazy? Haven't been paid for 2 month? How do they expect you to feed yourself and family? And also Working for 12 month and get paid for 10/11 months? Taking out pension and not paid into the pension account? I really don't what to say.
ReplyDeletePls before accusing someone of something, kindly get your facts straight. some people are saying arik cabin crew n staff steal from their luggage.
ReplyDelete1. Arik staff doesn't handle passenger luggage. The handling company SAHCOL does that.
2. A lot of people buy tickets to go n steal on board because most travellers are relaxed when on board. Many people have been caught stealing on board and handed over to the authorities.
3. I'm sure nobody among all those people saying Arik crew steal on board has ever caught any arik crew stealing or even accused any of them face to face of doing that.
4. Pls keep an eye on your personal property wherever you are and until you catch an Arik cabin crew stealing in your presence, kindly stop spreading malicious rumours.
Same with Dangote
ReplyDeletel pray to God not to let ltaly goverment give any benin girl visa anymore than too much na so fuck they just they fuck people here.
ReplyDeleteThe law prohibits that, deducting staff pension money without remitting same is a big fraud n FG shld look into it. Arik AIR make una pay your staff. Haba!
ReplyDeleteEven their pilots are pathetic. Met one Captain Jide, who is lousy and drinks 2 hrs before flying a plane. God v mercy
ReplyDeleteAll this people keep complaining but never resigns and yet keeps working! Who is deceiving who? Any employer of labour among you?am sure non, try and start up something in nigeria and lets see if you can sustain the business,how much paying armedrobber salary. As for the faceless fool who calls himself a pilot. Be man enough,come out from your shell of hiding and do the honourable thing. RESIGN and persecute your company through the regulating agency !
ReplyDeleteArik again? Flight cancellation with no provision for accommodation and now stealing from your own employees and giving preference to oyibo staff, who by the way, can be as daft and devious as the next black person who is also daft and devious? Please don't let skin colour fool you o, Arik. I work with these white/coloured people and the only difference between them and us is that they speak through their noses. All the shadiness, lies and deceit associated with being human plenty for their hand
ReplyDelete
