I get this alot,and thankfully lately it has reduced. Days ago I was forced to step up to him telling him sternly it has to stop and I would no longer tolerate his nonsense acts. Man got the message and has started avoiding me. I later got to know that I wasn't even the only person he has bn harassing. 2 Likes |

sunsweet33: You need to activate your inner Kolo. Next time he touches you inappropriately you should be ready to slap him severely so as to take him back to his default settings. Or you can publicly shame him and shout at him. As the wise Portable once said, "there is power in the tongue. Speak up." 2 Likes |

sunsweet33: Not an easy one especially in Nigeria. Nothing much to offer but prayers that the Lord give you wisdom to navigate things. Remain professional in dealing with him and making it clear that you are there to do your job excellently and nothing else. If there is ever anyone to talk to in your office please explore it. Anonymous letters or concerns etc may work as well. God help you 2 Likes |

sunsweet33: I like this type of a person to a child that was sent an errand to buy cooked egg, he started licking the back of the egg just to have a taste of it. The man is a he-goat, wife of such person should be careful her daughter around him. ......and for OP, I STRONGLY ADVICE YOU NOT TO GIVE HIM FACE AGAIN, any slightest chance you will end up in his bed. |

You these ladies facing sexual harassment need to be bold and tell them off that you will not allow that nonsense. Let the person know that you are not going anywhere, and that if anyone is going, he should be the one to go. Send fears to his spine, let him know you are not afraid and you are not going anywhere. 2 Likes |

sunsweet33: Meanwhile, I will also advise you to be dressing appropriate, because many of u ladies would come out to say how men harassing u, but u won't say how u too harassing them with ur revealing dresses. Meanwhile, after you have convinced that u dress well, you should also make sure u re not playing with men unnecessarily. And most importantly, u should avoid asking for favor and gift from men 3 Likes |

- Men and women cannot work together. Separate them or keep having these. - Even female bosses sometimes will frustrate the life of a young man she wants to be penetrated by hahaha. - 9 times out of 10, women in workplaces are FREE FOR - Maybe you should start covering your whole body like the Muslims hehe. It's hard to get harassed in full hijab, no ? Don't dress like a part time runs girl to work. 5 Likes |

sunsweet33:You should have screamed and yelled and raised hell as soon as he did that. This would have further strengtened your case as regards the first happening which was witnessed by others. BUT YOU DID NOT. Instead you are there giving him cold attitude like he gives a shit. How does that help? If it helped then you wouldn't be here on NL with this story. You are part of the problem. He would have been more cautious and will never forget the embarassment. What is the worst that woulf have happened? A sack or you quit with your head held high. But here you are. Now it is your word against his and he has the upper hand. He has played the sexual predator mind games with you and he has won. He will try it on others too. 1 Like |

Omg!!! That is so wrong. And for him to do it again after being warned? Wow!! In a saner climate he would've been fired on the spot right after that first instance!! It seems you yourself kept quiet. You should've shouted and caused a scene that he wouldn't have had the audacity to try it again that second time. If he tries it again the third time, cause a scene and let everyone know what he keeps doing, and that you will not tolerate it any longer. Shout and cause a scene right there 2 Likes |

sunsweet33: Before you think it's only women who suffer sexual harassment at work, lemme add my own. 1. During an intense job at the office (on my first job) I commented that I was tired and joked that I needed a nap. An older lady coworker nearby pressed her boobs and told me, "see pillow here, if you want to sleep". 2. Another one: I was working at my desk, and a lady coworker leaned over as if to talk to me, with her blouse not fully buttoned. I simply remarked to her that "they" are very nice, but could she please button up, because what she's doing is sexual harassment. 3. A friend was looking for a tech support job many years ago. A lady (maybe a Senior Manager) asked him point blank if he was ready to make herself and other (older, probably married, mostly Northerners) ladies "happy" if they needed him to. The guy said he didn't understand (of course he did!). Well, he didn't hear from them again. In your case, seek out a senior female colleague and tell her your worries. I think that may help. If the guy now starts acting badly towards you, it proves your suspicions to the senior lady. As for us guys........ we're on our own. Any guy facing such will sooner or later kiss that job goodbye. 1 Like |

Work on your dress. The size of your back might be the reason for his action. Stop dressing seductively to the office and stop the flashy makeup and all these would be gone. |

I will say you wait when you are one on one with him, you tell him you are not comfortable with how he touches you and if he doesn't stop, you will take legal actions against him, try as much as possible to have this very conversation on record. |

One recently happened in a company located at Ajose Adogun Victoria Island. I have a friend who works there and told me how almost all the senior staffs indulge in these act, starting with the Director down to the the junior managers. It was a like a competition where each of the managers has someone they were sleeping with. It was no longer something done in secret which was really disgusting. Just last month the female staffs all reported one of the managers who received a memo from the chairman. He was demoted and transferred to another lesser branch with immediate effect. Now the remaining managers are being strict to all the female staffs. They no longer treat them in a friendly manner because of what happened. Always looking for mistakes so that they can be sanctioned. She is planning on resigning as soon as she collects her pay. 1 Like |

iamtardey: Please do not stand up to him o Let your body language express your displeasure. When he touches you , turn around smile and greet him calling his name and boldly look into his name. Keep your voice low and calm while doing this. 2 things will happen : He will ask you out after a while then you can give your answer or the touching will cease. |
