[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139697153]“Pay my salary” – Lady cries out, exposes alleged experience working for popular Nollywood actress

A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to call out Nollywood actress Funmi Awelewa, alleging that she refused to pay her salary after she worked for her as a sales representative.

In a viral video circulating online, she claimed that she accepted the job despite being a graduate due to the country’s economic hardship and limited employment opportunities.

“I’m just here to tell you guys to help me beg Funmi Awelewa to pay my salary. I’m a graduate, but there is no job in the country. I even have a little business I do for myself, but it is not moving, so I accepted to be a sales rep,” she said.

According to her, she was often sent on errands that did not align with her job description, including massaging the actress, shopping, and inspecting properties, while also handling personal tasks for her.

The lady further alleged that she sustained an injury while working at the actress store and later requested part of her salary to seek medical treatment.

“I’ve been working with you for like 16 days now. I’m not telling you to give me money. Give me half of my salary and let me go and treat myself. But she replied that she is not ready to pay me a dime and blocked me,” she alleged.

She also claimed to have reported the matter to the police, adding that the actress allegedly declined an invitation to appear.

As of the time of filing this report, Funmi Awelewa has not publicly responded to the allegations.

don't know why you cannot endure till the end of the month. Your case is like that of a person who breaches agreement.I will advise Funmi to pay you your half salary to truncate your baseless noise. Many ladies nowadays don't want to work but they want to be making money.

Harbideyme:
I could have loved to help this lady with 1 million naira. How can I get her please.

Are you for real?

Yes bro. Do you know her?

Malreating the poor. Things they can't try abroad

Even if it is abroad, if you sign 1 month and work 16 days, nothing will make them pay you half salary because you asked for it if their payroll runs on a monthly basis. You will need to wait till month end

Nah. You're under probation, you're not showing us your employment agreement, what course did you study? How did you communicate your concerns to her?

Nah. Lady you're entitled. Under a month at work? I now wonder what skills of your align with the actress' needs?

Maybe that's why she's using you in that fashion. See, learn from her and master one thing or 2 then leave with honour.

You're calling her to police under a month? Cos no job and you need HALF month salary to treat injury?

Sorry for you

Now now? Na so money plenty for your hand? Did you hear the girl say that after 16 days of employment she asked for salary to go treat herself?
Anyway look around you, surely you have one siblings or friend that needs that money. I'd rather say you should spend it on yourself, eat it and poo it (if you know what I mean) at least you know you enjoyed it.

I'm currently in the United States. So giving out 700$ to somebody is not a bad omen. You see the money is somehow big because you are in Nigeria. Learn how to give

I thought it was like 2 to 3 months salary. It all depends on the agreement though. But at this level, she never needed to bring such to the public...

Lol…most Naija celebs are very terrible

MarketDispatch:
Tinubu na wetin?

He's our president and Also a former governor

Oga, even in US $700 is a reasonable amount of money, it is not small. Go online and check the average amount donated on gofundme.
Google search shows 34% of Americans have no savings ie $0,
69% of Americans have less than $1000 in savings.
Yeah in naija it is much money for lots of people, but for others it only goes a day or tops few days.
Anyway in 2 Corinthians 9:7 it says God loves a cheerful giver (or something like that).

So because I get prick you no go help me

Host78:

Shut up and read the post.
Una go dey rush comment without reading

Sonofgod1990:

.bro you said something about giving me job earlier. I'm serious about it and waiting to hear from you since

GloriousGbola:
That must be the issue.

I doubt there was any firm agreement or employment letter but typically within the first three months you can both chose to close without notice. And if you quit without notice you forfeit part of your salary

This is also what social media has done

As it is the lady is trying to play a blackmail game implying sexual harassment. That may not go the way she thinks.

Then again, this may just be a publicity stunt by ms awelewa who I had not heard of before today.

Hmmm.

EmmyMaestro:
Massage is my specialty and I have different techniques. Where can I apply

..ok no problem..but it's a man you will massage

Anything wey concern two Snake fighting
I nor get strength make one nor come bite me
For free

iHart:
You have not even worked for a month and you want salary.

If it's in a structured business, you will still be on probation. In just 16 days, you don massage, run errand, do shopping, inspect property etc. You no even talk about the sales rep job, you do any?

You for show us the injury na. Abi na internal injury?

yes for 3 month before they will pay her

Eeyah! It is not good to be poor. She clearly needs some money.

Make we talk true 30 days is too long to pay a person's sustenance. This is where the borrowing begins and borrowing means more poorverty. Many people no go miss helu

BizLeader:
I once recruited someone like this. He worked on Friday and on Monday. On Monday, he asked for 6 weeks leave to run a personal training opportunity..

Some people are just SENT to stress others. Just 2 days 😂

biggy00000:
The actress should prorate her pay and give her what is due if she worked for those 16 days.

. Then she has to wait till month end when others are being paid
