False.

First, the CEO in the videp called the police.

Secondly, if it was in the uk, nothing would have happened to the business of it was later explained that the customer was stealing items from.the gym

From the video it does not show that he called the police, from the video it does not show that the customer stole anything so where are you getting your facts from? This is a gym for christ sake and the customer walked into his office obviously discontent with the level of service. The customer might have ben rude or could not operate the equipments properly but let's not turn this into false allegations. wE always love to blame the victim in this country this is why so many things are upside down, a CEO must not degrade himself to the level of having a shouting match with a customer, it is way beneath him.

tot:
I am really amazed at the comments I've read and how people are justifying and giving excuses for him. This has nothing to do with gender as some have turned it to. Male or female, anyone exhibiting this behaviour has anger management issues.

Exactly! In a sane country, if such a video ever made it online, that CEO/company will suffer major loss and a possible lawsuit by the customer. Even if the customer was a jerk, the best thing to do is to get the authorities involved when the behavior becomes threatening or bullying like he said.

bjgurl:
My point is that: there are better ways to handle the matter.

Why are you trying to educate these people? They are the same people that sit back while politicians screw them year after year, the same people that cheat their fellow man because it is the 9ja way. How do you expect such people to know about corporate image and the responsibilities of a CEO? If it's not BB Naija or some useless sh*t, they don't care....lol.

EbolaParasite:
Your statement "LA fitness wannabe" is not critique but the typical backwards Nigerian mentality.
Since you can't build a GYM in a country with 7.5% VAT then stop misyarning about those doing it. You probably no get bicycle tire for yankee yet you dey misyarn about someone that actually owns a business.

Here's the thing my nigga, you don't really have the power to tell people what they can or cannot say. I know you're hungry but don't let poverty make you call a cow your uncle

MannaFromHeaven:
Some will still patronize seeing this video.

Absolutely while some would leave, that's the power of capitalism

EbolaParasite:
Nigerians and dia bad mouth. Even if it really is a wannabee LA fitness nko. Why you knocking another mans hustle. Wey your own GYM wey you build for naija.

How did I knock another man's hustle? I paid my own money to use the gym and I am entitled to critique it as I see fit. Furthermore, why would I build a GYM for 9ja, a country with 7.5% VAT and more than half the population is poor? Oga face front!

mammanbawa:
He must have been triggered and his anger is justified IMO based on the recounts I've read about him. End of story. Goodnight

Yea remind never to patronize your business...Goodnight

TO THE LADIES:

When you are ready to settle down, dont forget these...

1) Make sure you settle for a man who doesnt see paying your bride price as buying you...

2) Make sure you settle for a man who doesnt see marrying you as doing you a big favour...

3) Make sure you settle for a man who wouldn't use your monthly cramps and mood swings against you,, YES Some men are like that...

4) Make sure you settle for a man who knows you have right to your body sometimes,, who understands you have the right to say NO to sex when its not comfortable for you,, maybe due to weakness or whatever it might be,, and still respect you for that...

5) Make sure you settle for a man who would stick with you inspite of the odds,, who wouldn't compare you to a SWEET 16 after series of child birth (though most women try to work on themselves after child birth,, but truth be told,, you cant remain young forever)...

6) Make sure you settle for a man who would understand that there are just times you might feel too tired to fix the family meal,, and him helping you out wont be a taboo...

7) Make sure you settle for a man who would always allow you air your opinions, who understands you have d right to 'agree' or 'disagree' on a particular issue,, depending on what the case may be,, without always shutting you up before you are done airing your view...

Make sure you settle for a man who doesnt find it difficult saying 'SORRY',, someone who easily asks for forgiveness whenever he wrongs you,, not some kind of 'Autocratic' man,, who expects 'sorry' from you even when it's glaring he's wrong...

9) Make sure you settle for a man who understands that hitting a lady is a crime and shouldnt be done especially to his wife,, not some 'wife beaters' who raises their hands at the slightest provocation...

10) Make sure you settle for a man who loves everything about you,,who loves your soul not just the body,,and who enjoys your company always...

YOU CAN ADD YOURS TOO...

I COME IN PEACE✌

This is cute but gullible....There's a reason they call human beings the most unpredictable specie ever! If you think you can guarantee how a person behaves 3, 5, 10 or 15 years from now then you're more funny than Baba Latin

mammanbawa:
Before being a CEO, he's human.

Imagine if he had a board of directors or shareholders who held him accountable. Imagine him singing "I'm only human" to them, 9ja una too funny

Candanyl:
abi he will gain more customers .Seems you don't know Nigerians, we love to deviate from the norms

I know Nigerians very well, all shout and no action

naturefellow:
be the judge, go read tweets for yourself. This trend just made the man popular. Whether, you like it or not, it's significant publicity for his business. I personally never knew of Lekki Fitness Centre until yesterday. Did you?

Matter of fact I visited the gym last time I was in 9ja, it's a wannabee LA fitness...lol. Okay let's stop arguing about hypothesis, you believe Twitter comments from bad publicity equates to more patronizing of one's business and I don't, let each of us hold on to our beliefs....Shikena!

mammanbawa:
Going by the praise he received, I don't think so. Ask yourself what triggered his anger this much. If you listened, he already called the cops.

It doesn't matter what triggered his reaction, even if the customer was in the wrong his reaction was totally unprofessional. I'm a CEO myself and would hate for my customers or social media to view me as angry uncontrollable neanderthal.

naturefellow:
on the contrary, he's customer based has grown mostly form the sympathy he's getting on twitter, where many share the opinion that the customer is actually on the wrong, and was trying to libel him using this one-sided video claim.

Please be serious here, you are judging business growth from Nigerian Twitter? LEEMAO! It's the same way most of us shout and demonstrate here on Nairaland but crawl back to our shell in the real world

crafteck:
Not necessarily, he should post a video and explain, he would gain more from this attention

He may or may not, depends on if it is a luxury gym or one of those gyms that the average joe visits.

mammanbawa:
Ironically, he got a lot of customers cos many people vouched for him on Twitter. Some were even surprised he could get that angry. This is 2020, let's not judge using one side of the story.

It doesn't matter if he got lots of customers, he'll still lose some because some people are put off by that kind of anger. In business you can never have too many customers!

We don't have the full gist, what transpired before, what was said to aggreviate him like that? Customer is always right but if you called him names, attack his intellect or worse then I think it is justified to fight back. Either way he has lost a customer and will lose many more from this video.

Wizzz1:
after reading your previous response I lost all interest to continue. Let's just agree to disagree and let our fingers rest.

Sure

Wizzz1:
how does immigration affect economy? google it, you will learn something new.

Stop deflecting and answer the damn question. We are not talking about general immigration but specifically American immigration policies and the Nigerian economy. How can their policy affect our economy negatively? Unless you are suggesting thatif America is harder to enter or stay illegally our Nigerian economy will crumble. If this is your believe then you're even more lost than I thought.

Wizzz1:
immigration policies that represent his hate in legal form? His actions are directed against the Nigerian economy and that is against my interest.

My guy stop it already! How does American immigration policies affect Nigerian economy negatively? Please separate the two, Nigerian economy is one thing, your interest is another. DON'T BE CONFUSED!

fk002:
Russia has now much more power and influence in Ukraine and other Soviet countries thanks to Trump.

And Putin's power is growing day by day due to Trump lily liver.

So basically he's doing what he campaigned on, making sure America is not the police of the world, concentrating more on internal affairs than being busy being judge, jury and executioner.

Wizzz1:
as an American you can love him but as a Nigerian I can't, his foreign policies are against our interests.

How? You mean your interest of abusing his country's immigration policies? Perhaps it is the interest of the billions of dollars given to Nigeria as part of aide package?

fk002:
Putin is using Trump as a puppet. And the dumbo couldn't sense it, that's one of the reason some Americans hates him.

Perhaps Trump used him to get elected?Two sides to a coin . So far Trump has not lost anything to Putin yet he has gained so much so who's the puppet here?

fk002:
Putin, Kim, Dr. Eugene. and more than 60% of Americans that hate Trump are all Muslims, right?

Typical IPOB of you.

Putin hate Trump? Don't let the democrats know this, they believe Putin and trump are best of buddies

Hwy95:
Diegobonito:
They know trump is above them that's why they resort to cheap blackmail. One thing people should know is that since everyone is against Trump then he must be doing something right, all these radical Islamist people are afraid today because of Trump, if not they would have done worse things than now. Only Muslims hate Trump because he's not giving them the chance to pepetrate their killings and terrorism in every country, I love Trump and I stand with Trump. #Trump2020
Are you sick? How can you say this? This guy that hates blacks and immigrants. The same guy that lies about every and anything. This is the guy you like? Are you getting your news from FOX news? i don´t get it...

I have come to the conclusion that Black People as a whole suffer from self hatred and self loathing. An inferority complex no other race suffers that is beyong understanding. ...
how a black person or african can say they love or like trump even surprises trump himself.
trump hates / despises all of you, wants nothing to do with you, yet you love him. Check all he said about Obama or google what he said about the 5 teenagers that were falsely accussed of rape at central park NY but were later exonerated when the white lady confessed. trump never wanted the likes of you or you family in any of his properties. Do some research on trump please.
Sadly even if the devil himself was a leader on earth destroying killing blacks, a lot of blacks and clueless Nigerians would support him until he gets to their turn for destruction

Can you show me two evidence that Trump hates black people? Specifically black people! You mention the case of Central Park 5 but even my uncles and other blacks thought those boys were guilty at the time, does that make them racists too? Yea Trump discriminates when it comes to business because he's not politically correct, he's not going to rent his building for you if he feels you can't afford it, same way banks and other mortgage companies behave, at least as a black man I've been denied mortage and credit several times should I cry that those banks hate black people? F?or someone that hates black folks, I'm surprised unemployment for black people is at an ALL-TIME LOW? If this is hatred abeg TRUMP HATE US ALL!

Wizzz1:
because everyone is against him doesn't make him right. Trump is too emotional and reactive to be the president of America. He will leave America worse than he met it.

Yet he is doing the opposite where it counts. Economy has never been better, in fact the black community and veterans actually got some love. He has managed to avoid war with North Korea so far, he has managed to keep China in check so far. He has struck down the most damaging part of Obamacare which required me to pay for insurance for someone too lazy to work and believe it or not. America was heaven & hell before Trump and it shall remain so long after he's gone!

Macon1212:
10 years! It's a lie, l am in USA l filed for someone it doesn't take long.

When you file for a sibling it could take up to 15 years because they are not counted as immediate family member.

this is not breakng news but foolish news, Pelosi does not have the power to impeach trump, the only one who can do it is the Senate president and he'll never betray Trump, so IMPEACHMENT is dead once it arrives the Senate. The bigger picture here is that the Democrats have played all their hands and in a game of poker once you lose your poker face and the opponent can smell your bluff....It is GAME OVER.

Poverty, infrastructure decay, kidnappings, death trap roads, homosexuality, codeine sipping youths, lazy youths, gangster pastors and so on. So many damn issues in Nigeria yet Mr. lawyer chose to fight over this poo? Things truly have fallen apart

CaptainFM1:
Lol....it only shows how "un-gentlemanlike" you are. Same girl would win if she post such damage report of you to the lady-folks. They will all start running away from you, and you will think one JuJu from your village is hunting you.

Rule No.1...you have to take care of ladies even if you may not get anything out of it. It's only when you have not made enough money that you will think a lady is after your money!

Wake up from your slumber and smell the coffee, even rich guys can be petty as f*ck, no one likes being played....lol.

macminista:
that’s not my question bro ... Iraq yes but Afghanistan war is still on ; never won

That's like saying Biafra war was never won by Nigeria...lol. Yes there were enormous costs on both sides but only one country's citizen is walking freely and boastfully and it ain't the people of Afghanistan....LEEMAO!

macminista:
Bro u re underestimating Iran. Tell me the last Marjor war the US ve won?

Tell me the last major war Iran has won, even Afghanistan and Iraq till date will never be the same. U.S cities are almost back to their pre 9/11 status but cities and towns in Afghanistan and Iraq will never ever be vibrant again. That is the true cost of fighting with America, a country that does not sit back and wait for you to attack but meets you at your home and slaps you with its prick!

LegendHero:
Lol, @the bolded, USA invaded Afghanistan on the claim if a Weapon of Mass Destruction which they never found. Saddam Hussein was supported earlier with arms by the USa during the Iran-Iraq 8 year war only for them to backtrack to play the devil and eliminate everyone once and for all.

Who the bleep told you I got my info from Wikipedia? And why should CIA and British intelligence be the only source of true information in the world? This is just disgusting coz you have no evidence to absolve the USA of their many attrocities against humaity.

Now today the USA already labelled the Iraqi Shi'ite militia terrorists. The same people that helped defeat ISIS. Do you even know the slain general Qassem Soleimani fought alongside the USA in the defeat of ISIS?

The USA controls the media coupled with the fact that they are a strong superpower. That explains why they write history themselves and give ridiculous proclamation on other nations as terrorist and people like you swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Check the dictionary meaning of terrorist and tell me if the USA are not terrorists by their actions against the world.

Can you see why I said you people should read and comprehend before typing rubbish, USA INVADED AFGHANISTAN BECAUSE OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? Are you deliberately trying to be a clown?
