Guy was on 25k monthly salary managing wife's farm. He entered a supply deal with indomie&chips woman across the road. He would steal eggs in the night and sell to her. Dude was taking approximately 30% share of the proceeds.

The boy caught is stupid! I remember when i use to run my late dad beer palour.On weekends we make the most sales&that is when i apply wisdom.I remeber back then,when you sell three crates of beer,the profit on top of it is enough to buy one crate.So, i buy one crate with the profit and make my personal profit before replacing the crate of beer.So,i'm doing dads biz and also doing my biz and in the end no one is cheated. A mutual association is attained and the record book is balanced.

Is your dad aware you are doing such with his business? If he was physically present and takes cognizance of every sales will you still be able to do such? If no, then you're stealing from your dad no matter the self justification: cos I believe he's mostly likely going to pay you for services rendered at the end of the day or month with the believe that you're trustable.
Notwithstanding, am against that line of business that ruins people's dignity. No offense intended!

My friend owns liquor store, sells hundreds of thousands a day but accountability is never easy, he caught one of his boys stealing a pack of andre(4500x6),on arresting him he discovered his its been going on for long, a boy on 20k salary has been lodging in 25k per night hotels, on checking his phine, he de use drink of 60k wash hand for club, dey carry different gitls up an down, using 180k iPhone still bought same phone for a girl..


Do you know the number of Nigerian companies that used thousands of Dollars to send the staff abroad for two to three years training with the expectation the staff will work for them for at least 10 years, all of a sudden when the stuff is done he decides that he is bigger than the job and leaves, do you think the company would ever try that with anyone else workers are the most poisonous of all, generally they don have pity, they would steal until the business crashes.

20k salary? Your friend is worse than the boy

I sacked one for being rude. The other one will only do enough, never putting his best till I found a hardworking, dedicated worker and sacked him ASAP.

The worst ones are labourers whether iron bender, mason, carpenter or welder.

I have involved police a few times to force them to do their work.

I won a contract sometime in 2018, hired a team of 25 well paid experts and a couple of maladroit workers who we prefer to call labours. During the project, one of my staff cornered a potential contract that I had been pursuing. A contract that was worth at least #24m. He accepted to execute the project for 13m, and was paid a mobilisation of 6.5m to commence.
To cut the story short, this very Yoruba snitch did a bad job, wasted materials and couldn't deliver 1/10th the project. He later begged me to help him finish up the project but the amount he bargained was far below par. Ebn the cost of workmanship alone was worth more. He was later arrested, detained and currently serving at Ikoyi prison. As a kind-hearted Man from the east, I've been working arduously to get him out on bail. The bail is 5.3m, and I'm confident he'll be out soon.
Though I still hobnob with Yoruba guys, but I ensure it's done with at least a 3.3km long spoon

What exactly did he do wrong to you?

Your write up is likeable but it became boring and useless the moment you tried to portray Yorubas In a bad light in your IMAGINARY CONTRACT.

It became clearer that you're a clout chaser and so, shouldn't be taken serious.

But,will you guys seize to exist if you didn't bring another tribe to you problems.

Mr contractor,
Try and make more sense next time.

Reason I avoid any sort of retail business because to account for each and every item is usually a nightmare.Most times these retailers also hustle for their employees as well.
If e pass distribution that I can only do wholesale and monitor trade on SAGE and stock valuation,count me out!
Even though there's more money in retail.
I don't know how spar and market square account for all their stuff tbh..

Back in the day, people would employ Quakers or patronise businesses owned by Quakers as they were very honest.

However, I'm sure all is not finished. There must be honest people out there - even in Nigeria.

What happened to you is horrible. But stop trying to frame it as a Yoruba thing. It is not. The snitch did not snitch on you because he is Yoruba, he did it because he is wicked and greedy.

Just because the word "manager" was used doesn't mean the business would have sufficient fund for top notch services with commensurate pay.
How many birds are in the pen, how many staff is the owner paying, if the pen is having 500 or less layers, at #25k per month pay for the manager, the owner might not even be able to go home with #50k at month end on average in a year

The bolded,
You are right. But know this, paying good salary and treating your employees well, would not stop them from stealing from you. So what do you do?
You put in place measures to make your employees accountable, you put in place measures that reduce your employees access to funds(make things digital), have rules that they should all follow and when one or two falls out of line deal with them seriously and openly so that the others would learn that oga is not joking here.

kingscare1:
After looking at the harsh and unfavourable situations which employers subject their employees, I realised that most times, employees have no choice than to do shady shady dealings to cater for themselves and families.

In most Nigeria businessesss till today, sales girls and boys, including office workers feeds from hands to mouth everyday to survive and can't even afford transport money to work.

Sometimes they borrow to make up their financial shortcomings and to present their best to their employers but still they end up used, abused and unappreciated by wicked employers.

They are everywhere around us. You can easily point out employees from an employer because the later looks fresh and rich while the former looks stressed and anxious and kinda poorer.

So let us start paying good salaries and treating our employers well so that they will work well and not thief your money or do shady business while working for you.

If hes bigger than the job he wouldn't be there, a boy that just finished secondary school and has parents.... The ootion is 6 boys at 20k or 2 overworked staff at 60k.
Then to clarify payment schemes more for you, i have a staff on 35k monthly, 3 meals daily(1k5),total benefit is over 100k.
