Swiftgrp: So this little boy that used to string along with his father as a kid back in the day is now married at 28 years? It looks so surreal... How time flies!
I remember when the guy will be playing at shrine with his friends. The guy no pass 3ft dat time see am now.
Igbo girls allow only the wealthy yoruba men to marry them while the poor ones like you are left to marry the Yoruba girls. Do you see Igbo men going to marry yoruba girls? Mention Igbo men that you know that are married to yoruba ladies. But to the yoruba men, marrying an Igbo girl is like winning the World Cup.
Story
How many Yoruba men go to SE or igboland to look for women. It’s the women in SW their domain they go after be u Chinese or Greek.
1stGenAmerican: More lies. I know all about liabilities—I’m a lawyer. Firing him wouldn’t absolve the bill or anyone from financial responsibility and he could’ve owned that whole company for his rights being violated. The way you’re saying the insurer complained to the employer isn’t at all how it works—the insurer would’ve negotiated the costs with the doctors and facilities without involving anyone else. The employee would’ve owed no more than the pre-determined out of pocket portion. Then, like I said before it’s illegal for the insurer to speak to the employer about the employees medicals, costs, or anything else and there are automatic fines plus other legal liabilities if this is done. The thing that insurers do speak to employees about are employees committing insurance fraud—people who think others are stupid get caught doing that all the time.
i am telling you what happened, maybe some other details happened that i am not aware of. Reality not theory
All i know was that he said the hospital bill was 1 million dollars for triplets, plus two were premature and had to stay for 2 weeks.
Final bill 1M,
Maybe the company is still on the hook for the bill but my guy is without a job just after triplets ad his wife dont work and he just bought new house, new car.
1stGenAmerican: Anyone here in America who works an honest job and/or has insurance will tell you that story about the triplet’s father being fired is a lie. Even if they would’ve fired him, they would’ve still been on the hook for the bill. It’s illegal for your employer to be granted access your medical records or even be told about them. Insurances also don’t communicate with employers about an employee’s medical expenditures BECAUSE ITS ILLEGAL—if they did, they’d be sued into a million pieces. What does get you fired though is committing insurance fraud, something your friend may have got caught doing. Don’t believe every thing you hear.
Mr Know it all, my guy was fired cleanly and his HR did that job.
You know that inthe US employment is at will and they tell you that you can be fired or quit for no reason
2. Yes, I think the cost is about that much for eye laser surgery. Well, people do shop around for hospital costs. He was fortunate that he wa able to get it done for less without complications in Nigeria. By the way, would the same eye surgery cost just $1000 with inflation as it is today in Nigeria?
2 of the babies were premature and they had to stay back in the hospital for two weeks. Everybody shock when hospital send final bill.
Inusrance sef shock and they complained to his employer
Those guys found filmsy excuse and fired him to avoid liability
Kobojunkie: Or she had insurance but could not be bothered with going to the hospital after the accident since she maybe had no physical bruises. I have done it before.
One of my guys abroad gave birth to triplets he had health insurance from his company
They charged his insurance over 1 million dollars
Insurance said they will not pay they complained to the company that this employee billing was too much.
They came up with some filmsy excuse to fire the guy to avoid paying for the bill.
U can imagine guy with 3 new babies sacked
I have another guy with eye laser surgery US hospital charged my guy 3500 dollars per eye . My guy came to naija to do it both for 1000 dollars. No complications every thing went well
Shikena: .... and the disadvantages of staying in Nigeria? How many of those in Nigeria are not glorified slaves and with absolutely nothing to show for it... just look closely around you? Whatever personal decision you make, know that no one leaves this world alive. It's all a matter of time for everybody, japa or not.
In naija if u die u go see ppl wey go gather bury u or even help you sometimes.
obi58: Noah atubolu just became a first team player this season for Freiburg and he has shipped in 13 goals already in just 7 games. He is not better than what we already have. If you've watched his games, you would know that he too is error prone and concedes soft, cheap goals.
Enyinmba goalkeeper is better than Uzoho
That Atubolu has kept couple of clean sheets playing in top 5 euro league.
Abeg he will be miles better than Uzoho.
Let Uzoho leave Cyprus and move to a top 10 Europe league.
He is still young for a goalkeeper maybe he will become better but not now.
[quote author=wwwkaycom post=126243230]THIS STORY IS ACTUALLY FROM A FRIEND, HE SENT IT TO A WHATSAPP PLATFORM WE BELONG TO. I AM SEEKING ADVISE AND ASSISTANCE FOR HIM HERE PLEASE
My childhood friend is based in Texas, USA. He traveled out 12 years ago. Actually I work with government in Nigeria with a salary of 180k per month. It is becoming increasingly tough to take care of family responsibilities so early this year, I started making moves to relocate to US or Canada.
But the issues surrounding japa are quite enormous so I reached out to my friend to seek his advise, suggestions and possibly financial loan which I will pay back. He gave me some important reasons why I shouldn't migrate. He spoke about my age, no technical skill, finances, leaving known for unknown and difficulties faced by new comers in America. I didn't agree with these reasons even though he sounded genuine. I left him and started making other moves but eventually realized I still needed him.
8 months later, I spoke with him again, he repeated the same reasons why I shouldn't relocate. I am not 50 yet, I know a 56 year old man who relocated to Canada late last year and today his family members have started faring well here in Nigeria. Infact, his son who is presently rounding off his NYSC will be moving by march next year so what is the fuss about my age? I have made up my mind to stop seeking his support and carry my cross myself.
Thank you all.[/quote]Your friend actually likes you but it might seem he doesn’t.
All this small children with no travel abroad experience will tell you Japa japa.
The small money you make is going to be passing through your hands. Nigeria has almost zero taxation and you have family and friends support.
You are not even coming with approved work permit or you didnt mention it
So u will be doing either nothing or menial jobs that can’t pay any bills.
Abroad is better for people who come in their late teens or early 20s. Because it might take you about 10 years to stabilize
Alexxx2000: Intellectuals and the good people of nairaland. I just experienced one of the biggest shocks of my life.
As a student of the federal university, I saw a publication for the post of a front desk at a big cyber cafe close to the north wing of our school gate. I applied and followed the recruitment exercise which took 3 weeks of test and interview.
Out of 15 of us that applied for the job of 25k per month, I was picked. I loved it because it only start from 4pm till 9pm. Normally our lectures is from 7am till 1pm. I was happy because it will help me save for my school fees and I hoped to liaison with the students there to learn graphic designing. A skill I love but finance is a burden to enrol and to get a PC.
I was told to resume on Monday. I went there in the evening and the owner came and say my services are no longer needed. I was shocked. I asked him what I did? He didn't answer me. It was the other staff, the manager that told me he will communicate it to me. From Monday till now, I didn't hear from them.
Please, what should I do? I am confused. For those who had similar experience what was your cause. I am so so sad with this. My hope is dashed.
Nothing u can do
It has happened to me before
I was given a job offer and I accepted
I agreed start date. I negotiated with them when I would start. I had a family burial on that day and I told them I will start a few days after. It was a fresh graduate job.
I got an email the Monday before start date that the offer was rescinded.
I moved on , it’s one of those experiences that you will laugh about in the future.
I think it’s high time Nigerians need to develop mentally and start ignoring anyone who call him self prophet. There is no prophet any where they are all gambling and scamming.
writeprof: If your story is true, then I believe you need to be prayerful. Don't you think it's strange and weird for a person you never knew from anywhere just resumed as your boss, the next thing, he is getting this close to you. How do you present or carry yourself? How do you dress? How do you talk? I mean in the office among your colleagues. Are there no other females there? Is this how he harasses them?
You said you left or lost a previous job due to similar harassment? My sister, you need to take out time to ask yourself some questions. This could be a spiritual problem which you need to deal with. Do you have any relationship with God? Shalom!
I had a coworker initially she wore loose and decent clothing.
All of a sudden she start wearing tight clothees and she gather for front and back.
I told her to change her style of clothing she refused saying her husband doesn’t mind.
I said ok then stop complaining that men are ogling your breasts.
sunsweet33: My office hired a new manager and as I was standing by the side doing something he came up behind me put his hand on my lower back/waist and asked “how are you doing”. At that moment all my usual fire went out of the window and I just froze up. Actually there were 3 other senior staff around who must have seen it and warned him because thereafter, he only tapped my shoulder or shoulder blades (which I dont have any problem with).
Now a couple of days ago I had my hands full again doing something and this man passed behind me, held both sides of my waist very briefly and brushed against my back.
the whole thing was over in less than 5 seconds and I didn’t even see the person until I turned my head to see him watching me from the other side of the office.
bearing in mind this is a senior boss, I don’t feel I can shout or confront as normal so I have just been giving some stern/cold attitudes and stepping out of the way in a more exaggerated way whenever he passes by me. And he has started reciprocating the awkwardness which made it easier for me.
But how realistic is this? In another thread somebody wrote that his brother tried to get his female colleagues fired for rejecting his advances and I fear something similar may happen to me.
Its so irritating. This guy says he has a girlfriend so why not go home and touch her? WTF.
Once a subordinate woman enter man eye and maybe she get big Yansh. The guy is seduced already. E wan nack
I think you can be firm next time and be annoyed if he touches you.
Tell him you are in a relationship or something.
If he persists find another job
Do you have HR in your company. Seek opinion or talk to another female coworker see what they say.
If it was in the West that guy will be shaking if you confront him but as na naija anyway goes.
