Lady lost her 650k job after requesting a salary increase. My friend in Canada hired a fresh graduate in Nigeria (awaiting NYSC) as her executive assistant.https://x.com/UnclePamilerin/status/1968339296546636155?t=RjwMzytFtJiBrzHhG85AbA&s=19 10 Likes 2 Shares

Big eye don make her lose her quiet reliable earning. Imagine, awaiting corper for that matter. No contentment. She wan earn over N1m for a 2hrs daily job, presumably a Monday to Friday remote job. Greed and over sabi. 91 Likes 1 Share |

Regardless of the veracity of this particular post, NONSENSE like this happens ALL the time. If you are employed, another person CONTROLS you. The level of your employment, your designation, salary or post makes NO difference. The moment you are employed by a person (company or individual), you are that person's BIIIIIIITTTTTTTCH Especially in Nigeria where EXTREME poverty coincides with EXTREMELY fragile egos. If you are employed, your boss expects you to kiss his FRAGILE ass like your life depends on it. Even CEOs get fired. Best thing you can do is find a way to create your OWN business. Be your own BOSS. Be the MASTER of your own destiny! That is why when people advise unemployed and underemployed people to acquire a SKILL, it is important to specify that they should acquire a SKILL that would allow them to work for themselves. This is especially important for the people trying to learn TECH skills. 18 Likes |

Lol...650K monthly for a 2 hours job. What sort of low class lie is this? The funny part is, it is people based abroad that exploit their fellow Nigerians the most knowing full well that labor is very cheap and under priced over here. 60 Likes 2 Shares |

That’s tough — losing a job right after asking for a raise can feel like a betrayal. But here’s the thing: her request wasn’t wrong. The real lesson isn’t “don’t ask,” it’s how and when you ask: Always back it up with clear achievements, market value data, and impact you’ve had. Gauge the company’s financial health and culture before raising the topic. Be prepared with options — if they say no, ask about a performance plan, extra benefits, or a timeline for review. Most importantly, always have a backup plan (savings, job applications, networking) before making that move. Her job loss isn’t the end — it’s a redirection. It might even push her toward a better-paying and more appreciative employer. Sometimes rejection is just redirection to a bigger opportunity. My advice to her (and anyone in the same boat): Don’t stop asking for your worth, just be strategic — and never rely on one employer as your only option. 7 Likes |

Probably the way she presented the salary increment wasn’t palatable. 650k is small, especially if you’re putting more effort in the job. Go to the market and see how prices of goods are skyrocketing. The company should consider her. 1 Like 3 Shares |
