A sacked employee can be your biggest competition tomorrow. I have seen where retrenched staff walked away with about 60 to 70% of the company's clients. If he is a wicked boss in the Nigerian context, give him till the end of next year, you will be surprised. Imagine coming to your husband whom he is not close to for business advice twice already.

My dear brothers and sisters am not a good writer but I will try to pass my message.

Hubby came back one day from office and was like baby there is this big company I will like to do bussines with, dat one of their workers invited him to see their Oga on top to know if he will approve the contract. So my hubby was like nne please I want u to escort me with all pleasure I accepted. When we got there, Oh! My God, a very big company, u can't even trek to many places inside d company, They have over 10000 trucks ( sinotruck) To cut d story short after all d procedure we met the Oga on top. D man was acting over busy man and all other unnessary show off stuff for us to know dat he is d Oga on top. After everything d man gave us small contract. Other workers were complaining abt d man dat he is too stingy he won't even allow their business associates to dash them anything, he will get upset and terminate d contract. Saying dat d person is trying to bribe them. Almost everybody in dat company hate him (Although e no concern me, Na them sabi) what marvelled me today was as I was busy recording our arrived goods ooo. I saw someone dat looks like dat " Oga on top" on top of jakata and d jakata stopped besides our office. I was like so dis Oga on top came to visit us, dat means we don hammer wella today. He went inside our office to meet hubby after brief discussion the man left. I rushed inside immediately asking hubby if he has approved d full contract for us. To my greatest surprise, The man has been sacked, he actually came for help. Hubby told me he came d other day when I wasn't around to ask him for advice on how to start up a new beginning now he came to ask hubbysome certain questions about bussines. Oh! My God I was speechless. I felt for d man and I learnt some lessons today and I want to share it with Nairalanders,

1. Please whatever position u are today or u will still attain tomorrow, please let dat no enter ur head, don't use dat position to suppress or oppress those dat are under you because u don't know tomorrow.

2. Please no matter how big d company u are working with is, no matter ur rank, try and have ur personal bussines no matter how small it may look like.

3. Neva ignore or treat anybody dat comes ur way badly and always remain thankful to God for whatever u think u have because he is d giver of all things.

Feel free to share any similar experience u have encountered, We all are still learning.

hmmm.dis.life slf

Gaborone:
You've not succeeded in convincing us as to how that man treated you wrongly. Perhaps he wasn't really corky when yourself and hubby visited his office. Maybe it was just both of you feeling intimidated and insecure while before him, as a result of his position as of then.

Then again, you seem to be painfully oblivious of the fact that in this clime, any superior who doesn't allow his employees misbehave or act as they like is termed 'wicked'. After they finished gossiping with you, did you ever stop to think that his employees may have painted a wrong picture about him because he handles them firmly.

Why am I rambling? I am, because you actually sound like the bad (very bad) person here, not the man. What's more, please, don't go to God's altar to rejoice at his misfortune, cos I'm almost sure that would be your next line of action. Thank you.

You have won yourself a gift!

Meanwhile, @OP judgmental, prejudicial and gloating attitudes cannot do you any good. Kindly retrace your step.

Dear op,

Do you think we reached this level of bribery/corruption in Nigeria overnight? No, it took several years.

Bribery starts from non-obligatory thank yous then later 'graduates' to compulsory ones. So, that boss was actually wise to not even entertain that idea. I pray that boss gets back on his feet very soon. That company just lost one of the few honest peeps left in Nigeria.

Dear Kaira333,
You need an attitude adjustment. Only you will have issues with your mil (to the extent of calling her annoying ) to total strangers. Na wa o.

Please what is this one saying? u want me to call her wicked mil or something like dat abi? Please teach me d word I could have used. Mrs know all. As for d man's issue, No body said he or she supports bribery. only u knows where u got the nonsense u are typing from. I shared dat story just to tell u to be humble and have welcoming hrt to people around u. Simple!!!

Kaira333, people like you and your husband are the problem with Nigeria, but you will be the first to complain of government corruption. Congratulations, your enemy has fallen. Praise the Lord.
