Hello Nigeria. A lovely evening to you all. Some months ago, January to be precise, a certain Twitter account, made claims about PayPorte, one of Nigeria’s most popular e-Commerce Companies owing months of salaries. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
Many felt this was a rumor, because there was no identity to the person and the account, but we are here to tell you it was no rumor. It was the truth. We are the Ex-PayPorte Staff and we are seeking justice. No hidden faces. Real people who will reveal ourselves in due time.— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
We are a group of former employees who have had enough! We hereby bring to the notice of the Labour union, @firsNigeria, @PenComNig, Media and general public the injustice and inhumane treatment going on at PAYPORTE GLOBAL SYSYEMS #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018

Salaries have not been paid since November last year. For our Pension, 8% employee contribution is being deducted monthly but not remitted, same for the employer's statutory 10% pension contribution. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
We as employees have complied wit section 11, subsection 1 & 2 of this act while #PayPorte hasn't complied with sections and 4 of the Nigerian Pension Act as seen in the images attached. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff pic.twitter.com/X2thaFDP3G— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
Section 6 states " An employer who fails to deduct or remit the contributions within the time stipulated in subsection 3b shall in addition to making the remittance already due, be liable to a penalty to be stipulated by the commission. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
.... continues and the amount of the penalty shall be recovered as a debt OWED to the employee's retirement savings account, as the case may be.— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
It is our right to demand for justice! To be paid what we are owed! #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff
We have been quiet for too long while we watch as management spend frivolously. They engage in activities to promote the image of the company, sign celebrities as ambassadors, host and pay student ambassadors. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
It is our business when we r being owed for 4 months and expected to come to work while certain staff enjoy special privileges. It is our right to demand for wat is ours. Our loyalty and patience is being taken for granted & we will not be silent anymore. #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
It’s our business when Staff sent request for his rent which expired and he had to be evicted from his house #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
It’s our business when Staff who needed just N20,000 Salary advance to cater to his family sends a mail requesting for fees and the mail is unanswered. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018

Once you resign from #PayPorte, they erase you from payroll and refuse to pay you your outstanding salaries. Add that he even resulted sending life threatening msgs to staff who left. We do have evidence for these also #JusticeForPayPorteStaff.— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
Eyo Bassey Francis has been sleeping with his staff (to mention one is a 19yrs old...He got her a Macbook and IphoneX) insist on having morning devotions of which if you fail to attend, pray and fast for him when required you can be equally fired. #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
Almost every brand ambassador ends their relationship with PayPorte on bad notes. One, a fashion influencer who was the fashion ambassador even threatened legal actions when his contract was discontinued wrongfully. #JusticeForPayPorte— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
In 2017, PayPorte spent the following fees on Sponsorships. This was the same year, Eyo Bassey was battling an @officialEFCC case...or two. #BBNaija Sponsorship - Well over N350,000.000#NFF sponsorship - N100,000,000#AYLIVE: N20,000,000#JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
There is an ongoing internal debate between us to reveal the identities of the girlfriends of Eyo Bassey Francis and his spendings on them while owing staff who need money for their lives. You never know, we just might real more. #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 12, 2018
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity - Martin Luther King, Jr.— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 13, 2018
A lot of Nigerians and #PayPorte staff are ignorant about their...our rights.
Its important we let the existing staff know we are fighting not for a few pic.twitter.com/P7eBpP24XZ
But for all of us as a team. We worked together. We have slept overnight in the offices together. Left our families to relocate to Lagos to come work for this same Company. We have to stand for everyone of us and let them know why we are fighting this battle with @payporte— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 13, 2018
Let #LauraIkeji #GbenroAjibade #AsisatOshola know that they are getting into deep waters with a chronic debtor. Ask the previous ambassadors. PayPorte is owing ALL of THEM. Maybe except #TokeMakinwa. #BBNaija #JusticeForPayPorteStaff— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 13, 2018
Some might say its not our business who the MD has private relationships with. But it is when you support your girlfriend with N1.5M at the same time staff were sending mails requesting for funds to feed their families— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 13, 2018
The funds were given to her in January.
The girl too collected and could not advice him to pay salaries. God will bring justice to all of you. Now we understand how she got promoted like the speed of light....wait for it. #JusticeForPayPorteStaff pic.twitter.com/nAgM9GDT5K— Ex PayPorte Staff (@ex_payporte_sff) March 13, 2018
