He deserves to get sacked and also bad reference for his next prospective employer

It's like Nigerians don't understand data protection

A phone number of a client/customer/patient is private protected data and is only to be used for the delivery of the service the company is engaged for

If he professed love when handing over the parcel, it will be seen as a cheeky and playful shooting of shot. To use her phone number for the purpose of chiking her is a data breach and he deserves the sack. No company will want an employee that lacks basic common sense. He is a walking liability to that company

Exactly! I see a lot of Nigerians getting emotional and lashing out at the lady for reporting the dispatch rider. They claimed she made him lose his job over trivial matter like professing his love.

A lot of Nigerians don't understand what acting professional is all about. They casualize everything, they expected the lady to consider the unemployment rate before making him lose his job. But they are not seeing things from the angle that it is the guy that should first think of his job security before making such thoughtless decision.

She did the right thing BUT if it was a billionaire businessman that approach her while or during business transactions will she forfeit such transaction.

It is immaterial whether na billionaire approach her or trillionaire.

The lady's phone number was only given to him so he can do his job of delivery and move on. His employers didn't hand him her number so he can be professing love to her and harassing her with unsolicited WhatsApp message.

The guy clearly overstepped his boundary and got consumed by his mess up.

Dispatch rider delivered a parcel to Sarah Martin's (I don't know what she does but I guess she's a celebrity). After he successfully delivered the parcel, he later chatted her number on WhatsApp and was professing love for her.

She reported him to his company and now he's been sacked. Some Nigerians are saying she went too far and shouldn't have made him lose his job.

But methinks the guy doesn't value his job, if he does he would learn not to shiiit where eats. Shey he no fit look for lover outside his work space?

A delivery rider openly told Sarah Martins that he loved her. Instead of simply saying she wasn’t interested or that they weren’t compatible, she went straight to his company to report him which ultimately cost him his job.

What are your thoughts on this matter? pic.twitter.com/mYCyCjUJLm

Hopefully, your wife doesn't misbehave badly in your neighborhood. That's when you'd realize Mummy Cynthia who owns the the supermarket down your street you're cordial with joining in to term you a weak man who can't control his home.

Ever heard, "Oga, control your wife nau?"

Our society still deems a man responsible for his woman.

Ask yourself why the laid-back Adekunle Gold had step in and it was so important for Simi to mention he stepped in so it doesn't seem like he's a husband who's lost control of his home?

She had to mention it to placade her in-laws too.

lolz.

Woman comes online to talk about an issue, a lot of people called her out for her opinion, and she kept dragging with them. Dragging her husband for the spat they had with her makes them appear weak. There's no two ways about it.

All this talk about control you wife do not apply here. It only shows they can't successfully have her account for her actions but needed her husband to be the cannon fodder they can take out their vexation on.

I suspect it's because she was acting as if she's not moved by the dragging she was getting, that's why they had to go for her husband who shared absolutely no opinion on the matter.

I don already tire for this back and forth over a matter that is actually a non-issue to start with .

iamoyindamola:
But she apologised after he spoke to her because he was dragged into it
This as been going on and he left her alone until now he was dragged
Am I still making assumptions?

He is a celebrity who won't risk getting cancelled by the mob hence why he just had to bow to pressure and have her set things straight with her antagonists before his craft is dragged into the mess.

If she wasn't married to Adekunle Gold won't they make do with just dragging her and moving on?

But it is well sha. I wish all parties involved best of luck

DissTroy:
If you misbehaves, people will pity your wife: "Poor woman. God knows what she's putting putting up with."

If your wife misbehaves, people will say reprimand you: "Weak man. Simp. He can't control his home."

BlueRayDick still hasn't come to terms with the fact that, as men, in the gender debate, we are playing the losing game. If you lose 0-1, you're luckier than the man who lost 0-17. But you with lose regardless.
Life has a sure penalty against you as a man. You're playing against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, guys - the referee dislikes you before the kick off. Just don't concede too many goals.

I don't do all this whole gender war and "them vs us" takes when it comes to matters involving the two genders. I look at things from a logical point of view and not from the prism of pre conceived whataboutism.

A woman decided to have a spat with people online based on her own opinion. The right and reasonable thing to do is for the people who disagree with her to dig it out with her.

Crossing over to start dragging her husband up and down just doesn't make any sense to me. Simple.

iamoyindamola:
Like I said this wasn't the first time, if he had spoken to her before she would have adjusted or he doesn't have control over her

You make a lot of assumptions, but you make it sound like it is a fact when it's not.

You said if he had spoken to her before about the issue, then she ought to have adjusted. Do you even know if he has discussed with her and she chose to still air her opinion the way her brain processes it?

When you say a man having control over his wife, you are literally saying a man should decide what his wife can say and what she can't say. Like, we are talking about two adults who have their own individual opinions about same issue o.

See ehn, some of these things u guys are saying are not really practicable in the real sense. We are not in the days when Bible and quran were written when a woman's thought is shaped by her husband's. A woman can have her own opinion however fooolish or wise it may sound to the public.

The right thing to do is drag that woman for her opinion she made in her personal capacity except her husband comes out to claim he's down with her in that line of thought.

iamoyindamola:
AG saw what his wife is doing, they can even gist about it from there he should be able to caution her madam calm down choose your words carefully because this is a sensitive case and nobody was there when it happened.
I am not saying you shouldn't defend your gender but go the right way dont go about attacking people in the name of justice.

BTW this isn't the first time simi have been attacking men, like disstory said I haven't seen adesuwa caught up in emotional gender battle even though she's an ambassador for women.

You also didn't answer the question.

What should he do since she already posted her opinion which a lot of people obviously do not agree with?

DissTroy:
If he had talked to her when she said all those disparaging things about men in times past, she wouldn't have jumped head-on into this one.

He obviously has no control over his household.

You didn't answer the question. What should he do since she already said what she said ?

iamoyindamola:
He obviously had no control over her

Wait let me ask you a question.

What do you think Adekunle Gold should do in this instance after the wife has already said what she said?

iamoyindamola:
This is not what I said i am not talking about support or opinion
Simi said every men is a potential abuser/rapist, for someone with man/husband at home its fair to drag the husband into it
If AG can't caution his wife on some sensitive take online especially when it can affect him directly, they should both bear the brunt.

She didn't say that bro. She said men who shut victims up when they come out with their stories about being sexually assaulted are no different from rapists. I don't agree with some of the things she tweeted , but she didn't say all men are potential abuser.

She may be fooolish in some of her takes on the matter especially the part where she said she wasn't interested in having a conversation about false rape accusers, but saying her husband needs to be dragged for her personal opinion is a no no.

As much as the matter is a sensitive one, what she posted still remains her opinion and not necessarily her husband's opinion on the same matter. We are not in the pre-civilization era when women need to first consult their husband for his opinion before making her opinion (which is the husband's) known to an outsider.

Let them leave Adekunle Gold out of whatever dragging they may have in store for Simi. Until Adekunle Gold comes out to claim Simi's opinion as his, I don't see any sense in dragging him at all.

iamoyindamola:
I support Simi's dragging though
She's more of an emotional fool and I am glad AG was dragged into it.
As a man if you can't control or manage how your wife lose her mouth online be ready to get same reaction from people

I disagree with the bolded. Simi and Adekunle Gold are two different people, it makes no sense to me trying to drag Adekunle Gold into whatever issues they have with Simi simply because they are married to each other . It's not like Adekunle Gold will be monitoring her social media posts or policing her phone to know she decides to post.

Moreover, two people can be married to each other and have two different opinion about the same issue. There's no law that says the husband's opinion on a matter must be the wife's opinion. For example, this Yoruba actress called Foluke Daramola, she is an APC supporter through and through; she supported APC at the Federal level and Lagos state in the last election. Her husband on the other hand supported labour party and was even a chieftain of labour party in Lagos.

Even abroad na only children and non Nigerians dey eat jollof rice. Every Nigerian go queue for the abula ni. If 100 people dey come budget 90 Alama/Abula and 10 jollof rice and etc

For restaurant Amala/Abula is about $30 whle Jollof rice fit be $10 and under

Yes o! Amala and abula don go premium in this 2020's

raumdeuter:
Dem fit use this plate kidnap me

Kudos to those who made amala and abula so cool. Nowadays at Naija parties, people will ignore jollof rice and the queue for Amala will be like fuel queues in Abacha times

No be lie!

During my baby's naming ceremony most of our guests (including non Yorubas) made it a point of duty to eat our "Amala on the Spot" menu which comprise of succulent Amala prepared as e dey hot right there at the venue, ewedu & gbegiri, diced assorted meat and fresh ọwẹrẹ fish.

Na after the Amala finish dem come dey request for jolof and fried rice, ọfàda rice and semo.

Amala and abula don really get PR now o, it's not what it used to be before. It's literally the king of menu at parties now.

It sounded like you dey transfer aggression meant for Arteta to Tinubu ni. Cos Less than 2hrs after Arteta dropped points in the league you wrote an epistle about Tinubu

Its unfortunate that the security situation is so bad right now, And the FG is partnering with US forces to address it. The cause of the problem is hydra headed and they are seeking help anywhere they can get. The hope is that everyone can live in peace and securely in the country

Like that is the first time I'm writing about the sorry state of things under this present administration.

It may look like an inconsequential epistle to you (Like Femi Adesina reacted to all discerning voices pointing out Buhari's apparent failure while he was running the country aground), but people living the reality everyday know these things must be said in the hope of any possible positive change if at all.

The same FG was busy spending taxpayers' money to deny the obvious senseless loss of lives that has become a regular occurrence under this administration. Even the help you claim they are seeking from the US government; the help was literally forced on them. Government appointees were busy mouthing nonsense denying the obvious.

raumdeuter:
How long was the ASUU strike, Let us chronicle all administrations since 1999 and how many days of ASUU strike we have had then you will see where this admin stands

NELFUND allows students to get an education which will better their lives and they can pay it off. Education is not free, and has to be paid for by someone. Its like you saying a loan to start a business is not a positive

Coastal road are being plied today, Do you care about who constructed 3rd mainland bridge, Lagos-Ibadan expressway and the due process that followed it when you use those roads to ease your life and commute to work

If all govts have been delivering one massive project every admin, we wont be having a huge infrastructure deficit

You asked us to list 3, I listed 5 but you are complaining it doesnt address your initial post

Whatever makes you happy jare.

You don't have a skin in the game, so I don't take anything coming from you in defense of Tinubu's glaring failure to heart.

Those resident here who live the reality everyday know how disappointed they have been in the last 3 years in their hype job of a president.

sleekdot:
Arsenal drop points finish you no see Arteta to blame na Tinubu you wan dey stress

What's the correlation between Arsenal's results and pointing out Tinubu government's ineptitude? He say I wan dey stress Tinubu. smh

People in Kogi and Kwara are literally abandoning their hometown because terrorists are overrunning their communities one after the other and you are here talking about stressing Tinubu.

Na wa o.

sleekdot:
1. The common man children are not sitting at home for ASUU strike since Tinubu took the reins of power

2. The common man children are able to access NELFUND student loan program to pursue their education without stop start

3. The various road construction and rehabilitation like the coastal road is being plied daily by the common man not the uncommon ones

4. Governor are no longer borrowing to pay the salaries of the common man

5. Common man no longer has to queue endlessly for fuel in the country

There was still ASUU strike in October 2025. It was even discussed here

NELFUND is a loan that was designed because the same government increased the tution fees across higher institution. We are talking about making the live of common man better and not cuasing a problem and giving a solution that leaves the common man in debt after completion of their education.

I won't even bother responding to anything regarding the coastal road that was awarded to a known thief who helped Abacha loot the country . The contract didn't even follow due process. How can anybody list that as making the life of common man better when we don't even know how much of our commonwealth has been stolen through the shady contract award?

All the so-called points u listed are weak and stinking. Normally I no even supposed respond because they did not address any of the issues raised in my original post.

BlueRayDick your points exude stupendous sagacity and intellectual dexterity but abeg wetin Arsenal play for their last match. I am on vacation on Galapagos Island and I don’t have internet.

Je ne parle pas français, mon médecin

GloriousGbola:
as a person who works adjacent to head office executives corporate entity where you face the reality of numbers and operating costs do you think the fuel and electricity subsidies are sustainable in 2026?

are you bothered that other nigerians are now having to pay their share of tax rather than corporate workers only?

Lmao 😂

You seem to be operating under the assumption that the list is exhaustive, trust me it's not. There's the emotional/psychological stress that comes with the worsen security situation o. People from some parts of Kwara and Kogi states are literally finding it impossible to visit their ancestral homes because of the untamed security challenge bearing it's fangs under this current administration despite the government focusing more attention on improving their revenue from the people's income.

Talking about subsidy on electricity whether it's sustainable or not, what evidence do you have to counter some of us lived reality? I literally pay more for electricity now, yet I still have to buy fuel regularly to fuel my generator and recently had to buy a solar powered fan due to failure of whatever they may claim they are doing in the power sector.

I know you have the urge to defend the current Tinubu's administration but trust me there's nothing for you to defend under close scrutiny.

By the way, there's nowhere in my post that suggested I'm against the untaxed getting taxed going forward. Rather, I'm telling you that the already taxed population is being asked to pay 7.5% VAT on Mobile transfers and USSD transactions starting from January 2026.

Pray tell, mention 3 ways the lives of the average common man has been improved for the better since Tinubu take over the reins of power 🤷‍♂️

Anytime I see a common man like myself that is resident in Nigeria and has lived the last 3 years under Tinubu's administration boasting and making promise to reward him with second term vote, I go just dey laugh in amusement.

Like, since this guy became president you have been buying petrol at almost x4 of the price it used to be. You have been paying more for electricity even though the national grid collapses every eke market day. You have been spending majority of your income on transport and feeding with little or nothing left to save. You find it hard to pay hospital bills in a decent private hospital without having to seek financial assistance from friends and relatives due to high cost of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies the hospitals use. You are even being forced to pay VAT on mobile transfer and USSD transactions you do via your bank account in addition to existing Stamp duty charges.

How do you go around telling anyone who cares to listen that the man responsible all of the aforementioned financial stress is the man you would want reelected for another 4 years? No be juju be that? Some would even boast about how he's a master strategist and legendary politician.... blah... blah.... blah...

I mean you can hardly point out to three ways in which the man's 3 year rule has made any aspect of your life any better than he met it. But somehow you would rather troll others and call them names for not being unreasonable to believe the fable titled " Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria"

We are indeed in amusing times in this country.

Normally I dey "siddon look mode" as things dey go, but I can't but point out how ridiculous it is for a common man who is not a card carrying member of the ruling party to be advancing thought of seeing this government continue to be in power; considering how they have noting to show for benefit of the common man in spite of how much they are taking from us in form of taxes, levies and increment in cost of public goods & services.

His subs today was laughable. Aside Trossard and Saka who had to be subbed, removing Gyokeres that early was diabolical. Haaland do play 90 minutes back to back now. Look at those Liverpool players despite their high energy tactic they do play. Look at Gravenbach. What's the excuse for removing Gyokeres?

I was actually not impressed with the lineup initially. I don't fancy this Saka at #10 stuff. Just play Eze at left 8 and Zubi on the right (at the worst)

He's been playing Eze at 10 and he hasn't cover himself in glory at all. Remember the last match Saka played 10 and it was a good outing for the team. So u should understand why Saka was used as a 10 in this match considering we are even playing the lowest ranked team on the league table..

As regards taking Gyokeres off, if u noticed in the first half most of the balls that got to him were either drifting to the right or left and Gyokeres was struggling to dribble his way into the box. I believe the manager subbing him off for Jesus was because Jesus is actually a good dribbler who can move with the ball at his feet. Jesus even scored vs Wolves in the first leg after Gyokeres played rubbish in the same game.

We didn't start the match with the intention of loading aerial balls to our front man, so playing Gyokeres for the full match may seem like putting ourselves at disadvantage as at the team that decision was being made.

I honestly believe we were outdone by weak mentality in this match. The players were just too nervy and didn't get their acts together. All of the players we fielded today are capable of playing in a team that will drub Wolves as much as 4 unreplied goals, it was just the mentality with which they prosecute this match that is very stinking.

Spy360:
We do we look so weak

The same thing happened against Brentford. Weak to run, weak to challenge for the ball, weak to even take a shot

Yeah, the weak mentality is glaring going by how our players allowed Wolves run them ragged like they are a serious title contender and not some lpser team already condemned to relegation.

I looked at this line up and substitution and it gave the picture of a round peg in a round hole which shows the coach obviously didn't underrate our opponents.

It's just that winning mentality that is lacking. Of not, our players should not be sleeping on the floor at 2-1 trying to see off the game on a slim win when they should be gunning to score more goals to seal a comfortable win.

They really need to do something about their mentality if not our season may go downhill from here.

mostob:
Ref did nothing wrong. Na the useless players wey we dey parade dey fumble

Honestly, the ref has no bleme in the outcome of the match. Na our players carry weak mentality play this match.

Martinelli is getting bullied off the ball by Mosquera and he's playing rubbish. When we ought to be pushing attack up field, we are busy recycling ball in our own half. Nobody took the initiative of trying to play one or two long range shot against their keeper at all.

Raya also decided today was the day he's going to undo all the good work he's been doing the past 3 seasons.

Our players mentality in this game was just so weak. Maybe they need to see a psychologist sef I don't even know.

Shegzdave:
How will you score one goal and wait for the opponents to score and start looking for goal again

Stupid tactics

We actually scored two goals and threw away the two goals advantage.

Funny thing is our players allowing useless players like Mosquera and Arokodare taking a shine off them. It's an eyesore! 🤮

Martinelli just dey bend head down for ground dey do rubbish all game.

Only Rice and Hincapie put up a decent performance in this game.

See stupid Eze again nítorí Ọlọ́run

Raya just ruined everybody's effort in this match.

Nonsense!

This guy clearly wanted to injure Trossard. Na wa o

Martinelli no get sense Sha! When he supposed dribble he won't dribble. Na when he supposed do one time pass he go dey form dribble

Timber sef dey play rubbish inside this match.

Na wa o. Is this burnout or what?

Trossard that was brought on, no show at all.

Is Martinelli mad? Which kind nonsense he dey play dey lose ball between two players when he's obviously not planning to use the ball for anything productive
