She has not failed, she only learnt a lesson. It's not the end of the road.

Take heart, sister.

The comments I read on this topic is amusing. While one might say the lady should have thought about the environment however, she is been true to herself and I can't blame either her or the interviewer on the other hand. The part I don't understand is that of the many judges here passing judgment and condemning people and their dressing. If you are not married and engage in sexual activities then you have no right to pass judgment on those who choose to have multiple piercing, tattoos, dreads and whatever. Our hypocrisy na top notch.

If you think the decision to deny her the role is justified, please check into a mental home. I have senior management ladies in my office wearing leg chains.
It doesn’t define their competency in anyway just like the wrist bands men wear do not define theirs.
The average African man is one hypocritical mentally unstable human.

What has a leg chain got to do with the job, was the question... Now the answer is... What is the work of the leg chain on the leg...

I have come to a conclusion that many people don't have any tangible reasons as to why they do some certain things in this life, because u see other people do it, u too just want to do it...

If for example my friend who is a musician tints his hair, pierce his ear and draws tattoo on his body (just to promote his hustle) and because it looks good on him, then me an aspiring banker or a medical doctor should i now go and do same, just because it looks good... Anyway I digress

This empty skull headed girl, would see it as normal and something accepted by the general public...

Am happy she did not get the Job... Cause her appearance has already showed she's irresponsible...
Africa my Africa, one of de Most Useless Continent in de world,
U are just taking based on ur brain
All these insults because a girl you don't know wore an anklet? You need to look in a mirror and re-evaluate your life.

Anklets are simple ornaments, like rings, necklaces, etc. People have been wearing them long before your forefathers were born.

I think that is a shallow way of looking at it,if the job in question stipulates that one must not wear any Jewries on the outside then they are in the right, however if nothing in their code of dressing bars it then they are i n the wrong, In a sane environment that will be classed as discrimination and you will pay a hefty fine in an employment tribunal. If you can wear a wedding ring and a bracelet on your arm why cant a person wear a bracelet o n their legs? On another note, the company could have lost an employee that would have taken them to the next level.

What is the difference between a nose ring and a leg chain?

Are they not all ornaments of ostentation?

And why should it be defined by type in the first instance?

In your mind now, youre talking sense. Good things can be used in a bad way. Its like saying sagging is cool cos sheybi the person is still wearing trousers.

Oga, in our culture here in Western Naija, the way you wear your Fila can tell people if you are single or married. Leg chain was an identifying mark for prostitutes. (when prostitution was still a shameful thing) once you were it any man that needs a prostitute look out for anklets.
Google is your friend, confirm it sir.


Many people do things they don't understand.
Earrings were also used for slaves and bracelets were used in rituals too. Why do people still wear them today?

You have a brain that should be able to understand that no matter what these articles may have been used to signify, it's only a matter of perception and nothing makes them bad. Avoiding it should be based on enhancing public interaction with any social group that believes otherwise (usually associated with underdeveloped, overly spiritual societies). It's just a question of it being appropriate in a particular setting or people perceiving it to be too casual for a professional space. It is extremely stupid to accuse someone of being a sex worker or having a bad character because of a physical thing like an anklet which has nothing to do with sex unless you're just brainwashed to the extent you couldn't think for yourself anymore.

Well explained...You are addressed the way you dress.

And leg chain.

As for piercing, no problem, but make e no pass two for ear and that lovely one On thè nose...In case of extreme fashion..

Leg chain is a turn off..I have this medical doctor that comes around to patronize , I changed my rating when I saw her with leg chain...For somebody whose kids are in secondary school. lipsrsealed

Now, you tell me why a musician should know of those things or is that what defines a celebrity? No!

What's bad is bad and we should condemn it in its entirety.

What could be wrong disqualifying a lady in a job interview for wearing a leg chain?



https://mobile.twitter.com/JojoNitq/status/1502744937007300620

The friend was extremely daft in hindsight

You wait until after you get the job. Then you can see the company's dress code or you can learn about the quirks of the employer

A private company reserves the right to enforce any kind of dressing in their employees

First bank used to mandate male Staff to all wear blue shirt and black trousers. Ridiculous if you ask me, but na them be that

One ceo wanted everyone to wear suit and tie. Even for roles where it was completely irrelevant.

Any Nigerian chick knows Nigerians are very silly about leg chains. Always talking different nonsense. Unless you already have the job in the bag, you can't be using items that people have decided are controversial, especially for an entry level job

Save the agidi for some other endeavour

Living in the society that Nigeria is , one must do everything that he or she can do to prevent the interviewer not hiring you. Leg brace or nose ring , tattoo might not be an issue if you are interviewing in England- You can even color your hair blonde but In Nigeria- stuff like that might not fly. Nigeria is still traditional in some extend. I will end by saying when you are Rome do as romans do
Get your facts right please.

Nigerians are overly religious not traditional.

C'mon keep quiet! What do you know? Queen Elizabeth wears an anklet. Are you as important as a grain of sand underneath her shoe?

Many companies are looking for efficient and productive professionals who will enhance and scale their business. Whether these professionals wear anklets, necklaces, or even underwear is none of their damn business, so long as they get their job done.

You're here shiuting as if it's a good thing for the uneducated to be unpleasantly loud. What a pity.

You Nigerians are a small minded judgmental bunch, I do not like or have leg chains but it's not my business of someone else does. All this holier than thou behavior is ridiculous and can only happen in a country where people are desperate.

Obviously moderation is key especially for some occupations but a leg chain, really? If Nigeria was at a place where there was abundance of jobs and people had choice rather than desperation trust me you will drop that rule so quick if not you will do your work yourself. This bullying and subjugation only works because the populace are hungry and desperate.

This is the same country where employer will offer N50k and tell you you have to work 7am - 8pm Mon - Sat and you will shout yessir is that enough? Try all that in a country that works and see how quickly you will go out of business.

Order and decorum must first be adhered to before competence is even considered!
You may be the best in your field of study but if your attitude or dressing leaves much to be desired, it can slow down the progress of any organisation esp if the said person is a marketer representing a company and trying to sell a product or service to a prospective client!
Every company possess set of rules for prospective employees.....what is permissible in Company A will not be allowed in company B...so the best thing to do is to dress accordingly!
A lady with a top having a cleavage or a guy placing his trouser below his waist might sit well or seem appropriate with you but might be a turnoff for other customers! everyone is not like you!
How you dress is how you will be addressed!

Stop being over dramatic, a simple leg chain to bikini is an unrealistic and unreasonable comparison.

Yes there are extremes same as everything and moderation is key. The world is advancing way beyond this mentality, companies doing away with ties etc and rigid ways and you are all here still getting angry over leg chain. Goodluck attracting international world class talent to Nigeria with such attitudes.


ASPIREX:


You displayed matured objectivity here.

She went for an interview....ostensibly in a corporate set-up and she wore a leg chain. There are some organisations that wouldn't bother about it,some other companies will not even allow you access to the panel. Why not steer the middle course....go without the leg chain, nose studs or multiple earrings and then after joining the organisation you can gently show them your true colours.

By the way,those of you approving of this dress code....I hope you will be happy the day you are attended to at public offices with bikini clad officials....after-all the hood doesn't make the monk.
