For so long we have been suffering from this disease called NOT MORE THAN........... YEARS, and now, i believe it is high time we cured it. I thank you for this wake-up call and now we can't afford to slumber on achieving results through reasonable but radical means. Our voice must be heard and demands be met . :(

Put your date of birth or age on your CV in the UK and be sure you will not likely be shortlisted, I wonder why everything is different in Nigeria!!

Hello House this issue is a serious matter to deal with, but first the Govt. that u'll take ur case to are in the same as other. Take look at civil service rule, u'll see the age limit from 18yrs and not more than 50 yrs.
From the above, Are there not same with other employee???

:mad::cool:

Even if this great course is fought and eventually won and the prospective employers are restricted from placing age limit as part of their criteria, they can still successfully do without letting the applicants and the general public know because they owe no applicant any reason for not employing him/her. May God see us through. Amen.

We have to push for a body to monitor equal opportunity employment through the ministry of Labour. For example, in the UK all the employers ask applicants to fill the equal opportunity form for records purposes. This is used to report back to the regulatory authority.

House, can we see the below link as see if we can start the campaign with that employer.

i support this campaign.

We need to consult a human rights lawyer who can do it for us ex gracia. At least, if we win, the damages can go to him for his efforts. Let's meet on yahoo, facebook or Nimbuzz chat. [email protected], [email protected]. Let's trash this menace.

wahtevr gowz hop mast hop down. good work guyz!

Whoever is raising this issue should read the law very well. You should build your case on the Nigeria Labour law. An organisation can place restrictions on job positions if it can prove that performance will be enhanced by such restrictions. So, in Labour law, you have to prove your case beyond doubt that you have been discriminated against as a result of your age.

i agree the laws in this country are not enforced but the desperation of job seekers, who without deep thinking, signs off their destinies, make it difficult to enforce some laws.

For instance, the case of mistreatment by new Airtel Management and Outsourcing companies is one. My believe is that the HR professionals and practitioners should hold high the ethics of the profession.

This is a good development, so they expect everybody to be in the same age range in School and the Labour Market.???

I'm in support of this but how can we address it legally and have this practice stopped. Other countries don't do this. Thanks

The point is that Nigeria is a lawless country, the leaders treat the constitution like trash and even the enforcement agencies break the laws at will( recently BRT wahala involving a military officer). Please, tell me if the sales of the scratch cards by govt parastals is legal and constitutional(NAFDAC, NAVY, etc)? The fact is that the govt and multinational companies, not forgetting the indigenous companies are out to exploit the helpless youths of this great nation. After series of tests and interviews, WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU WERE NOT SELECTED TO GO ON TO THE NEXT STAGE.....blah blah blah>:(
