DeepSight: That reeks of intolerance to me. Would you be able to work in any of these companies if they also had the same attitude towards blacks? Or do you think there is nothing peculiar about you that they also chose to accommodate? In the middle East and northern Nigeria, life basically revolves round Islam. But in southern Nigeria, people simply make accommodations. Take 10 minutes and go and say your prayers. You may think that HR was helpless, but I can tell you that there are several places where others have willingly set aside a prayer room for their Muslim colleagues. It is called tolerance - something all of us in all walks of life should strive for. 1 Like |

It is very funny. Even if your father is the Alfal that leads prayer in Aso Rock, you can't try it with me. 3 Likes |

DonroxyII: Freedom of religion on the job right? Freedom to pursue your religion even if it clashes with your employer's requirements for the job right? Next thing you will be saying any employer who doesnt create breaks to fit with the five prayer times is breaching your right to your religion right? 3 Likes |

Ur business premises is ur life cos from there u got something to feed ur family even if u have another biz, no employee does that in someone shop irrespective of the religion. I think u should advise her on that before it's getting out of hand, that u are not against her religion and ur shop should not comes in. |

GloriousGbola: Ol' boy converting a meeting room to a make-shift mosque is going too far. Religion is a private affair. Imposing it on the structure and operations of a diverse multinational company is simply bananas. Intolerance you say? Do you want to follow this rabbit down the rabbit hole and see where it could lead? Tell me, what would happen if the Christians in that office banded together and insisted that they also wanted a meeting room as a make-shift church. Tell me, what would happen if after that the Hindu's banded together (because there were lots of Hindus too) and demanded another meeting room as a make-shift temple. And on and on. Can you see the point? Its both ridiculous and absurd. Religion should not be imposed on a corporate environment that way. Its very dangerous. It should be kept private. Sadly however, you will not see this simple point. I am very used to Muslims describing anything that does not permit them to deploy Islam in every environment - no matter how unreasonably - as being "intolerance." If the tables were turned however, they would never grant others the same "tolerance." You will never have a make-shift church (or temple) being permitted in an office in a Muslim country for example. 2 Likes |

boolet: This is actually daft. If he received the alcoholic drink and hand it over to you. He is more like an alibi for causing sin. Buying alcohol for someone as a Muslim is termed as a sin. So he gifting you is almost equal to using his money to buy it for you. You lots need to understand other people's religion and ask questions before jumping into conclusion. That's clearly different from him washing a pot /plate used in making Pork. There are clear differences in things. Also eating Pork isn't a sin, it's more of an injunction from health perspectives which is clearly different from Alcohol which is an intoxicant and when taken you can't control your actions when under the influence and cansue other greater sins. |

Listen to me, I'm a practicing Muslim and I've worked in both corporate and public settings. The simple advise I'll give is to tell her that she's free to go and pray when it's time for prayer(usually between 20-30mins). Tell her you don't want her to be praying in the office as office is meant for business strictly. If she no gree Tor, maybe she no want hear word, so take your decision. Just make sure you're not the one preventing her from going to pray in the mosque. |

dboY1123: I actually empathise with you. But i think what is needed is more of an understanding . Muslim prayers are time bound. I.e have specific times they must be said. I guess she not leaving the shop and praying in there is based on the fact that she is required to be available during all hours of work which puts her in a difficult position as regards her religion. It is easier for a Christian in a work environment as you can schedule your prayer times but not the other way round. I think you should speak to her. If she can find someplace outside the shop premises to say her prayers , fine and okay. You should also be willing to be accomodate that she would be away for about 5mins each at 2pm and 4pm on a daily basis. If this would not work for you . Then you have to let her know about this. There's no harm in open and honest communication as long as it is not prejudiced. |

DeepSight: yes. but none of the others you mentioned are mandated to pray 5 times a day would you also say sikhs should not be allowed to wear their turbans? has sikhs wearing their turbans led to a complete and utter breakdown of the dress code? has making easter a bank holiday in the uk led to agitation of every other religious adherent to have a holiday for their own religion? has it led to a breakdown of the system? are other religions in the uk also demanding that teh weekend be rejigged around their own religions' weekends? |

You caused it yourself by allowing her in the first place. That's why she is passing her boundary. Man up! Business is business. Your shop is not a praying ground. |

VEXT:Baba forget this your statement that a Muslim Boss won't tolerate that. Na lie The truth is some Muslim bosses will tolerate why others won't, just as some christians bosses like the OP tolerates and some christians like you will not... It is good to tolerate other people's religion... Muslims and christians like you who don't tolerate others are the reason we are having religious crises in Nigeria |
