jidobaba: @amdman, you make selling chin chin sound like fortune500 business. No self-respecting man should be selling chin chin in the office. Sir have you ever read the story of mcdonald? Let me ask you, what's the definition of a self-respecting man? A man that works in a fully air-conditioned OFFICE? Are you the owner of the office? Isn't it slavery working all day for a man like you? Oh. . Because you enjoy the office's executive chair and a.c now means you can't sell chin-chin? As long as the management is not against his business, then there is absolutely nothing wrong. You just heard the man, his wife now saves 2000/day. Do your mathematics, take away sundays and saturdays and then tell us the total savings in a month. 10 Likes |

You are entitled to your views, but note that food business is what many Fortune 500 companies do! PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, Coca-Cola, Tyson Foods, etc are companies I can immediately point at as American companies in food business and are in the top Fortune 100 companies by revenue - http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2012/full_list/index.html In Nigeria, Nigerian Breweries, Nestle, Guinness, Flour Mills, Dangote Sugar, Cadbury, Dangote Flour Mills, 7-UP Bottling Coy, Honeywell Flour Mill, National Salt Coy, Presco, Okomu Oil Palm. etc are Food/Beverage companies in the Thisday/BGL 50 top stocks in Nigeria. Or ask UAC Foods, Chi Group, Tastee Fried Chicken, Tantalizers, Integrated Dairies etc what their annual revenues are. The value of education is that you can take roasted plantain and turn it into a world class product. Applying innovation, you turn an unattractive item into a commodity of choice. I am a lawyer turned credit/investment analyst, so I should know a few things. 12 Likes |

Professionally speaking, I don't think this is totally right, especially as most likely the organization, like many others, will have a policy that forbids selling during workhours. But this is Naija, even the policy makers don't abide by the rules, not to talk of enforcing compliance. Although I came across it tucked somewhere in my former company's staff handbook, I must confess I also marketed my wife's wares (jewelries) to my colleagues in office a couple of times, albeit not openly. |

@Ardman, I wish I cld give you a handshake. Women need men like you that would support their dream. My hubby is the best, and encourages me. I work in a corporate office but he still pushes me to do a little business by the side. When I travel, he takes my goods in his car boot and helps to sell to his colleagues after work / lunch time. During Valentine, he sold over 60 packs of gift packs for me. The extra money is small, but he is training me to have the mind of an entrepreneur. I have worked in corporate organizations outside of Nigeria, some of my colleagues sold during lunch hour. And my supervisor was aware. So far, it does not interfere with your working hours. 1 Like |

amdman: My friend (poster Nahinbdis) just showed me this post now and I am the one he is referring to. Kudos to you and your wife for such industrious spirit. I totally support a self-sustaining business venture like the one your wife is engaged in, and your supportive attitude is totally commendable. That said, if i were your supervisor, i will recommend you for suspension and if you're still on probation, your appointment will be withdrawn. It's nothing personal, but in corporate business like ours (don't know about yours), any ancillary venture within the premise of our business environment which generates profit for the benefit of a third party is illegitimate. Kudos to you again! 1 Like |

braveheart2012: I am a bit surprised at the responses on this thread. It's obvious that most of the replies are coming from people with limited corporate experience. The man's action is unprofessional and this type of activity is expressly forbidden in most mid-size to large corporations in the West. In fact, the only other type of "employment" or "business" most employers will tolerate is non-profit work or volunteer work. Selling merchandise in the office is grounds for immediate dismissal. He is technically representing another business interest (his sole focus during working hours should be on the business he is getting paid full-time wages for.) In addition, he is using corporate property (i.e. the office premises) for unapproved personal gain. Couldn't have put it better myself, well said. |

Its good to support your partner's business anyway you can. Selling chin-chin, jewelry, shoes or whatever in the office should not be condoned by any serious minded business in order to instill professionalism in the workplace. Having said that, it seems to be an accepted practice in Nigeria. In this instance, if at all the chin-chin has to be sold in the office, then he should let the wife come and do it herself or employ some jobless youth to do the rounds. He is not being professional and he is sending out the wrong message to his subordinates. If his subordinates also now decide to start selling their wives akara, puff-puff or kunu in the office what would he have to say to that? How would he be able to stop them? What then would he have turned the office to? 1 Like |

^^^^Like I said earlier, it is not a going-forward strategy to be selling the stuff in the office, displaying it and all that. Its more like wearing a shirt to the office and a colleague says 'I love that shirt, pls get one for me'. If I choose to oblige him, it won't be at variance with company policy. Likewise, I distributed the chin-chin free of charge the first time and feedback was like 'wow, its so nice, bring for me tomorrow' and 'always bring for me'. Obliging them does not infringe on the company policy which is actually targetted as using official hours for private biz. If I was displaying the products, or going from desk to desk to sell, that's a different thing altogether. 1 Like |

I am really worried about the way people are talking on this thread. All those guys castigating the idea and telling us about how corporate entities do it abroad. Please spare me, jare. Unemployment rate in that abroad is rising and I won't be surprised if one day this small business ventures grows to the point that those human beings castigating the idea come and drop their CV to work with the business venture they want to use their mouths (and keyboards) to kill. I am all for the growth of the Nigerian GDP, anyway it can as long as you are not doing anything illegal. We need more people like these who would build more companies that will be listed on our Nigerian Stock Exchange so that all those doubting Thomases can come and rush the shares. 3 Likes |
