moreover,if the story is true, we should not forget that he was sacked because of fraud not the hotel issue involving the wife and his kid.

Compared to what he earns its would have been a just.
The guy is pretttttyyyyyyyyyyyy stupid. Even if he wanted to be smart which is wrong by the way after the first incidence he should have known he would be under scrutiny. Guess it must be remote from his village..............

Lol your comment is funny.
Every big man does not have a big pocket.
We keep making this mistake, Cus he owns two cars or a big mansion doesn't mean he has a lot to spare.
No matter how rich I may become doesn't make me to suddenly lose the value of money.

You're saying #70k is small compared to what he earns but you fail to realize that his earnings wasn't stated ,not even a clue...you've just sidelined your view to his status,it's wrong.

Biko nu, #70k is not a just ...big man or not
cool

Most likely the guy is regretting his folly now. If pressured into going with the family, that's even worse cos he would visit he'll on the hapless 'young' family. Bottom line: Fraud may look attractive but in the end, the seeming reward of it is cut short with consequent regrets.

A few years ago, Chevron sacked someone because of something similar. I wonder why these dudes always wanna play smart.

His misfortune is someone else's fortune. Now there is vacancy in that company and someone is gonna get job there and do Thanksgiving. Oil and Gas is the dream company to work with.
Re: How A Guy Was Fired By One Of The Biggest Oil Companies In Nigeria by MsNas(f): 5:43pm On Jul 21, 2015
This story might actually be true. Most of these Oil companies always send their workers on training, and if you are a full time worker you always get a credit card you can use without limits. So far you use it for yourself and on things (food, gas, hotels etc) you only need during the course of the training, conference or workshop.

The mistake anyone will make is incurring extra and frivolous charges on such cards or accounts. For goodness sakes, this guy killed himself. I do not pity him one bit. You had the money to pay the airfare of wifey and kid to fly to Kenya, how much is the extra $300-$500 you would have to pay to upgrade an hotel room? Why cant he allow his family sit in Nigeria if he can't pay extra?

My man works for such, and anytime I go with him on such, he pays for my airfare out of his own pocket. When we go out to eat, we pay with two cards (He puts his food on his company card and mine on his own card). In situations where the training is In-State, he does not go with the company car, lest they accuse him of using company car for something else. He uses his own car, uses their card for exactly the amount of gas he should have used and pays for the rest of the gas out of pocket. Nobody will be questioning him about mileage of the company car because we had to drive with the car somewhere fun, or take the car somewhere with me and God forbid it gets carjacked.

My advise to the guy is to just forget Nigeria. Its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a camel than to get another job with a multinational oil and gas company after you got fired from your previous job in Nigeria....word travels fast, and they might find it so hard to trust him. He should go to grad school or something and hopefully he will get a job after he graduates.

I swear, I appreciate your truthfulness. You acknowledged wrongdoings....and that is the problem with a lot of us Nigerians. We like to cut corners. Thinking we can get away. Sometimes in May, I was somewhere in Oxnard at one of those training with him. We had to go to the harbor to go eat alongside his coworkers and somewhere long the line someone mentioned that they use their company card to even buy booze at the bar and all sorts. In fact, the food we ate (we were like 6-10) was paid by someone with his own company card. It was a huge sum. The guys were like "You can put anything on your company card".

But later when him and I got talking, we just decided it was not worth it. Is $200 or even $50 even worth losing a job that pays you thousands? These people that even charge every expense on the company card are old guys with decades of experience. Their wrongdoings can be easily overlooked. People like awoof, forgetting that "Awoof dey run belle". I pray you get over the disappointment of losing your job and get a bigger and better one.

This post reads like a prophesy.

I work in an oil company.

I have a training in one European country in 0ctober.

My Group Head will also be coming from our UK office.

I plan to go with my wife and kids.

I have never given a thought whether it will involve extra costs for my company.

Now that I read this, I have to run it by my travels department to be sure I don't run foul of any company policy.

But I know there will be nothing wrong in taking your family along for training, provided no extra cost to the company.

I have noticed this among Nigerians (even outside Nigeria) whilst in contrast I have never seen any (non-Nigerian) colleague taking their families along on a work-sponsored trip rather they take leave days and plan a proper family holiday typically during the summer. Is there a particular reason Nigerians try to do this? i.e. take the family along for a work-trip? Is it to save costs or what, I really don't get it. Why be on a working holiday trip when you can have a proper holiday.

Secondly, during work trips, evenings are usually to network and have dinner with colleagues based in that location, would you take the family along for such?

Simple: cost saving.

But in addition, personally, I dont like traveling alone. It's boring.
