Atiku is corrupt, Atiku is corrupt, tell me which prominent politician in Nigeria isn't (a handful can be excused though), even the great MKO Abiola, was he a saint?

Atiku will loot the country's treasury dry...that talk is sickening, again, would MKO Abiola have looted the treasury had he become Nigeria's President?

By the way, the contest for the SDP Presidential ticket was keenly contested in 1992 with MKO and this same Atiku as forerunners, guess what? They both spent so much that MKO switched to dollars, so for those of you complaining about the money spent during the last convention, please note that it is normal in Nigerian politics, you had better get used to it.

I am still neutral on this Atiku/Buhari drama but we need to reason with our brains, not emotions.

Keep shut. Toke was earning 200k but driving range. Mercy self buy house less dan a year she leave her husband. Jumai and konga self dey sell things how much dem dey make Nothing. They are oloshos with big gods. Y dem no link omotola or funke akindele

@yeyerolling Don't ever make the mistake again of control 'c', control 'v' of the same comment on different SM platforms if you don't want your identity disclosed especially on a forum like NL where people 'wear mask' to post all sorts of comment.

sangresan:
You are one of the misinformed fellas here...Saraki has no influence in the SW...In fact, he will be battling to retain his Kwara as at that time because Kwara South and North are already slipping through his grip...

If election is free and fair, PDP will really garner votes from the SW...But I m telling you, lots of PDP supporters won't even be allowed to vote. Mark it.

If Okonjo-Iweala is chosen as VP, Atiku will sweep the entire MB/SS/SE. Forget SW, APC will dominate the region because of Osinbajo & Tinubu.

The North is where the decider is.

Princedapace:
If he chooses from the west, he will still not win except Tinubu supports him. The west already has Tinubu and the current VP, there is no way he can win west over again. If he chooses west, east will use voting apathy and he will lose badly..

His best option is to find way to get up to 40% votes from west which is possible due to people like Daniel, Fayose, Saraki, etc. They can help him get up to 40% votes..

As for the north, he will share the votes there wella with Buhari. He will win some northern states. He has the backing of some northern leaders. If they don't want him to file in a VP from the east, they would have told him straight away.

His strongest regions are middle belt, south south and south east.
The south south already has the pdp chairman. The south west already has two prominent positions in the pdp as it stands..

All he needs is a way to pull the igbos to vote. Igbos can give him serious votes if he can make them to come out and vote within and outside the south east region.. Politics is calculated bro..

From history, igbos will rather not vote than to vote for APC. So when the east feel they don't have a stake in pdp anymore, what will happen is that they will vote less in number. While south west will always give Buhari 50-55% votes due to Tinubu and Osinbade factors now. No matter what Atiku does for now, he will never win south west.

He should use his campaign manager who is a yoruba man, people like Saraki, Fayose, Obansajo, etc to get at least 40-45% of the votes in the west. That is all he can ever get from west for now.

He needs the south south and south east to vote in millions for him. And if they are really interested in voting, they cab give him over 10 million votes combined together..

You are a genius.

Lizzysamuel:
Social media is abuzz with unfounded rumours that Toke Makinwa and Mercy Aigbe built their empire with the help of male sponsors. But Omojuwa has an interesting take on the rumours.

The rumours claim Mercy Aigbe's house was bought for her by a prominent man and Toke's lifestyle is also funded by someone. But Omojuwa gave a very insightful opinion on the rumours as he came to the defence of both women.

He wrote:

I reserve my comments...but there's a lot of doubt to be casted on any personality who publicly makes comments such as one regarding the "...VALUE OF MY PU##Y..." (she later deleted the tweet).

What kind of person thinks in that direction? Or you want to excuse that for a joke? Don't go there.

Just a food for thought.

lexy2014:
did Anita oyakhilome divorce her husband because she wanted 2 make money? D women that left Chris okotie did they leave him because of 50%? Did princess Diana leave prince Charles cos of 50%? Nicolas sarkoy's wife left him just after he won presidential election. Nicole Kidman left tom cruise despite being successful in her own way. What amount of money was Angelina jolie going 2 make from brad Pitt that she didn't already have?

I have given my 10 examples. Give ur 1000. I lived in DSC many years ago when workers werent paid 4 months&survival was a struggle yet I didn't c women leaving their husbands 4 rich men. Do d things u mentioned happen? Yes they do. But d mistake u are making is that u are using ur personal experience to generalize

You have mentioned a couple of popular cases, there are thousands of other cases involving the not-so-popular people. E.g.

-Iya Mutiu left Baba Mutiu when his bricklaying business flopped
-Mama Chibike left Papa Chibike when his container sinked and he lost his entire capital
-Mama Aminu left Papa Aminu when his entire herd of cattles died as a result thunderstorm
-Ken's mum left his dad when he was fired as an ED in DWX oil & gas company and his finances suddenly plummeted
-Bimbo is nowhere to be found as 'maga' stopped paying Tunde. Other yahoo boys on campus have fled with her
-Mrs Stevenson is having an extra-marital affair just to keep her family going, why? Her husband is dead 'broke'

The list goes on and on and on.

Point Daboomb is trying to make is that majority of these incidences are caused by financial issues. Only very few people do have issues that are not financially related.

Make money, provide comfort for your woman and you would live happily ever after in plenty love....try to flip the coin, then you go hear am.

"Love is sweet o, when money enter, love is sweeter" - Davido.

Daboomb:
You sabi flirter person sha. And l an not Sir too, just your regular guy.
No one likes their party to be spoilt. I dont like what l an saying too but l just have to accept it now .....or later when it could shock me to death.

Seriously, it is all about PRiORITIES.
Set them right. Do the right things, at the right time.
I dont know what you do for a living, your current age-range, your educational background, your family circumstances (commitments to siblings, parents, e.t.c) and your level of determination to not be poor again.

I will assume you are doing okay for now.
1.) Eat less, Save more
2.) Defer your enjoyment/gratification to later, when you can do so without risking poverty
3.) You need Capital to do a successful business/investment. Save it if no bank will borrow you.
4.) Whatever/wherever you chose to put your money, dont tak too much risk when starting out, Stability is more important at that stage.
5.) Note that nothing last forever! Prepare for that day when your current "good living", money-flow will take a dip or even dry-out. it happens to everybody, at some stage in life, especially at the initial stages
6.) Save a certain percentage of your income, for investment in low risk, probably low returns ventures.
7.) Dont live an ostentatious life, once you have a little money in your account. leave the best part, for the later stage.
8.) Build a House, a commercial one first, if you can. Buy your land in a dry area, ( swamp not for poor people)
9.) Work hard and work smart, be strong, be focused, avoid all extremities in life but dont be a hermit. Avoid most vices (drugs, drink, gambling, excessive eating, womanising about, e.t.c
10.) Dont enrich, equip or add value to your wife, AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE (love her but never do anything at your own detriment/self sacrifice)
11.) Dont carry too much 'family' responsibility at the same time, it will draw you down or slow you down. largesse provided later, will still eb appreciated by the recipients but then you will not feel the impact too much
12.) DIY where you can, little savings here and there, add up to something and also prepare you mentally for the future
13.) Take care of whatever money you have, so MONEY will also take care of you! Money has a tendency to runaway from whoever does not take care of it..... just like women!
14.) Make good Judgements all the time, especially in purchases.
15.) Perform your bedroom duties properly! Women are not COMFORTABLE with men that cant fire on all Cylinders, when need be. That is rule #1. But dont kill yourself, if you are not that healthy to scatter the sheets, Work on your fitness, if you need to.
16.) Dont do anything illegal, be confident, think about what/where you want to be in ten years time, work towards it as a PRIORITY
17.) READ! READ!! READ!!!. There is wealth in knowledge hidden in written materials of any kind, knowledge is sourced from what you "ingest" (read). Everybody is a product of what is INSIDE their Head (Knowledge). Seek it at all times.
18.) Pray to what you beleive-in. Have a PERSONAL relationship with God, do good to others so that your prayers will not be hindered, train your kids properly and let them have respect and a sense of value for all things, especially living things (buy them a Dog to rear!), respect and love your wife to as much as she does not become a burden to your progress (banish 'buy-buy spirit' from her ). Try your best and leave the rest to your destiny.
19.) Take time out to exercise regularly, your health is the most important asset you have, dont sacrifice it for anything, not even more money. Walk instead of driving, jog, swim, play Sunday football with other pot-bellied 'Ronaldo' like us You need to prepare for old age and its baggages, right from now. The older you get, the more difficult it gets.
20.) Finally, Dont follow my advice, l was probably too drunk when writing all these.


But be assured that as long as your wife feels comfortable being with you, she wont leave you.
And if she does, you just smile and marry an even younger, more beautiful woman to replace her. You have what it takes.

Enough, let me go and do other things.

Wow! Daboomb- You are the most intelligent person I have met on any social media platform this year. Once again, I doff my hat!

Daboomb:
Sir, l am not saying it is RIGHT. Infact, l think itis IMMORAL and l have said so in some of my post.
It really saddens me to think about it because l also have a wife!

But l am reminding you and that is the honest truth, that:

- It will always happen like that

- The reason is that "That is how women are wired". It is in their DNA, right from the first woman (and l have given many examples on this)

- That they should not be blamed because even they cant help it
- That Men should recognise this "factory default setting" of women

- That men should see it as the REALITY and PREPARE for it. Dont get too upset, if your wife runs away, one month after you lose your job, expect her to run away
- Plan well well when the money is still flowing (that is why l pity men who buy expensive gifts for their wife thinking that would cement their love and make her stay fOREVER! the day the Confort dries up, that is the day your Visa expires with her. Instead, put such money in deposits or investments that would support the COMFORT, when your current source of money suddenly stops. That is what will make her stay because the COMFORT will still be flowing till you get another source of income.

- That what Mrs Adeboye is saying is the cold, truth though because she is the wife of Daddy G.O, we EXPECT that she should not be the one saying such unpallatable truth. She is not encouraging it but she is WARNING MEN to be aware of what will hapen.

Just look around you and see how marriages are crashing like cards.
Are they mostly crashing because of "Lack of Love" or "lack of COMFORT (Money) in the family", for the woman?

A honest answer to the above, will reinforce what l am saying.

What is RIGHT/ WRONG, .....deals with Morals and Value system
What is OBTAINABLE,..... deals with REALITY.

Mrs adeboye was talking from the point of REALITY while those abusing her are thinking from the point of MORALITY.
we might not like it but we face it everyday, from the high rate of divorce that we are seeing

I can't help but like and quote all your posts!

Daboomb:
I love the caveat you inserted into your Post!
it shows that you also are extremely intelligent.
A Knowledgeable Man!

How many men are knowledgeable?
How many men know that their first priority, before professing love is to get a good job or setup a good business and keep the money in-flow certain and secure?
How many men know that even a certain job or business can go kaput anytime and therefore plan for a Plan B, incase the Pot gets upset by factors/events beyond their control?

But a KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN will make plans first, before falling in love.
Most Men will profess love, spend all their time singing love songs and being around their love/woman, while not paying enough attention to the most important thing that will prolong that love.

And let me add that a Knowledgeable Man will always go for the best woman he can get!
He will never settle for an old hag.
That is why you will see a 'knowledgeable man (read: good bank balance) who is sixty years old, marry a twenty five year old woman (and we the younger ones are full of jealousy ) and would not settle for any 46yr+ old hag.

Marriage is like a Free Market: What you are offering/selling, MUST EQUATE TO to what l am willing to pay/offer for it (except in cases of foolish/unknowledgeable men and 'sharp-sharp' 419 women)

- Why would l work hard for my comfort and then waste it on an old hag, when l can splash it on something better? I dey crase?
- And why would a beautiful damsel waste herself on a broke dude who cant provide the comfort she needs? i dey crase?

That is COLD REALITY of this immoral and valueless world, my brother.
Its being like that since the days of the first Man, Adam.

Again?

Daboomb:
MONEY is not COMFORT but it can buy COMFORT.
Dont call Women Prostitutes for being just who they are.

Women have never loved God, just for the sake of Love, from the days of Adam.
So how do you expect them to Love "man" for the sake of Love?

When God told the Man and Woman: Do not eat this one but enjoy all the other ones. That is God showing LOVE to humanbeings.
The Woman who shoudl has reciprocated with the same love, abandoned God and instead, decided she would rather go with the Satan because Satan PROMISED HER MoRE COMFORT.

So, for a WOMAN, it is always about who promised her more COMFORT and NEVER about who showed her Love.
It did not start with Mrs Adeboye, she was only stating REALITY so that there would be less expectations which lead to broken marriages.
It is in the DNA of the WOMAN that you gave me - Adam

Once 'MEN' put it into their psyche and know what is in a marriage for them, they would be better adjusted, when the inevitable happens, should it happen.

- Love does not keep a Marriage or any female relationship for that matter, it is COMFORT produced with MONEY, that keeps a marriage (that is the sure banker, take it or leave it)
- As a Man, never exhaust all your Money on your wife hoping she will stay when it is exhausted. Rather, keep building your wealth (which maintains the COMFORT that keeps the wife with you) and let building your wealth be your first priority, not your love.
- If you fail in the above, whether as a result of your fault or outside your fault, you then have to be courageous enough to accept the REALITY that the Woman you love, whose DNA is wired to COMFORT, will be soon gone.

Painful, Annoying, Sad, Agonising, Undeserved, Ungodly and even Inhuman but that is the REALITY Mrs Adeboye was warning us about.

You again? Lol

I just realized all the posts I quoted were produced by this 'Daboomb' of a person. Whoever you are, mehn, I doff my hat.

Daboomb:
No Sir!
Reality is NOT relative.
It is what is 'on ground' as can be percieved with all th five senses of everybody.
For example, if a Kettle is black in color and my eyes are not defective, l will certainly see is as a black kettle and so will you, with a good eye.
That is reality. What is REAL.

But due to EXpECTATION, you can decide to call the Black kettle a Blue kettle simply because you want it to look blue or you have a Blue one or it suits you if it is blue in color.

Like l said in one of my post, What all WOMEN cant do without is COMFORT and it is MONEY that provides that COMFORT.
Any Man with POTENTIAL will eventually have MONEY and will eventually be able to provide that COMFORT that 'holds a woman down'.

The DNA of Women has been defective from creation (I say "defective" because their REALITY is MATERIALISTIC and it is NOT SUPPOSED (EXPECTATION) to be so! We all know it is wrong for someone we love, to abandon us when we are low or without Money but that is exactly the REALITY OF WOMEN.

99% of Women will abandon a husband, once he loses his job, goes broke or they see that he has lost the POTENTIAL to provide that comfort..
The 1% are the rare breed of women, noone can find in Nigeria

Nice post.

Daboomb:
"SUPOOSED TO" is very distant from "REALITY".

A lot of things "supposed to" or "isn't suposed to be".

We must separate "EXPECTATIONS" from "REALITY".
Nigeria and Nigerians are not supposed to be poor - EXPECTATION
Nigerians and Nigeria are Poor - REALITY.

Nigeria, a country of nearly 200Million people is NOT SUPPOSED to be governed by a School Cert Holder - EXPECTATION
The President of Nigeria is a School Cert Holder - REALITY

Electiosn are NOT SUPPOSED to be Rigged - EXPECTATION
Electiosn in Nigeria are Rigged - REALITYT

A Judge is NOT SUPPOSED to collect Bribe to dispense Justice - EXPECTATION
Many Jusges have been caught collecting Bribe, Two were just sacked by the NJC today! - REALITY.

So, we must separate 'expectations' (Wife must love their husbands, rich or poor) from the reality (Wives nor send any husband that allows comfort to disappear from his home)

Mummy G.O. don face reality, even before she marry Adeboye
Younger generation better face reality as well otherwise..... wailing go follow.

Interesting...but too many typos.

Daboomb:
Please dont insult the woman, you guys of today are just too myopic to accept reality!
You dont have to DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL OR CRIMINAL, to make your wife comfortable.

It is simple:
- Get a GOOD Education and come out with a good grade
- Train and Develop yurself with SKILLS that are in Demand, marketable Skills
- Dont be lazy, dont do drugs, dont indulge in things that would reduce your worth and market value and dont do anything ILLEGAL or UNLAWFUL
- Leave time in you rlife to communicate with God or whatever you belive in.
-Develop Standard morals and values about life

I swear, if you do these five simple things during your Youthful years are you are not comfortable by 30yrs, confront me and l would set you up in business, with enough capital that would make you rich enough to throw back my Capital in my face, in less than seven years from the day l gave it to you.

Comfortable Life is not Magic, it is a painstaking process of step-by-step, coupled with dilligence, which most young people dont have.
Anyone who can HONESTLY say, with their hands on their heart, that they have done all the five things above and are still uncomfortable in life, need deliverance.
I will offer it.

Well said.

Daboomb:
Give three Gbossas to that Woman, for being able to call a spade, a spade! Everything she said is bang-on, though it might not be palatable to our ears

Look, we need to face REALITY.

Not just Nigerian women (other women to varying degrees though the Nigerian woman has taken it to unprecedented heights due to their greed) but ALL WOMEN are controlled by MONEY and the Material things Money can buy.

There is a reason, God did not create Woman, immediately he created man because he could have created both of them at once.
HE knew that the Man has to "acquire wealth" so to say, otherwise the Woman will just stray-away if he has nothing to show her as his wealth.
When Eve was finally created, EVERYTHING WAS SET, garden was like today's Mansion, Food was plenty, all animals were named and all WORK was ALREADY DONE, the Woman just "packed-in" to enjoy everything, just like the Women of today insist on a "made-man".

Let us stop blaming women, let us just recognise them for who they are: Materialistic, Opportunistic and Unreliable Sex Partner.
End of story!

And just look at what Eve did immediately Adam was out of sight: She made friend with "another Man", obeyed the starnger even more than her Husband and God.... and brought desolation ot his household and generation.

Somebody should tell me or show me how the "average woman" of today is DIFFERENT from the above discription.
No difference, only 'times' has just evolved and become more sophisticated.

Women are who they are, love them for who they are but be aware of what you are getting into, when you encounter one.
Me, l will always love women but l make "allowance" for their treacherous nature because l know it must come to play, sooner or later.

Interesting post. Nice analysis.

XaintJoel20:
The first question that pumped out of Mama Nkechi's mouth was "where you follow?" another question followed in quick succession from another neighbour, who you see for outside"? Then another question, "you no know wetin dey happen for outside"? At this point I was surprised and didn't know which to answer first. Then my gut told me all wasn't OK. I asked them, 'wetin dey happen'? They didn't answer. At this point I left them at the tunnel to continue their meeting while I dashed to my apartment.

While inside, I was restless and deep in thought as to what could have happened that would warrant such an assemblage of my neighbours at that unholy hour. Being a phone addict, I reached out to my phone and quickly forgot the scenes that has played outside.

The next day being Sunday, I woke up a bit early and rushed down to my barber's shop to have my beard shaven since I couldn't move out previous night after the suspense my neighbours threw up. I met the shop locked which is the usual thing as he doesn't opened on Sunday morning. I rushed to his house, which is a stone thrown from his shop to call him. He obliged me and followed me to the shop.

While he was doing what I went there for, I told him why I couldn't come the previous day as has been the custom, which was Saturday to have my beard shaven, it was at this point he told me someone was shot in my locality that same Saturday. He tried all he could to describe the guy and his house. The description had little or no impact because the more he was trying to describe him and his place, the more I was confused. After a nice shave, I paid him and hurried down to the church even though I got to the church a little behind schedule.

Faster forward to Tuesday, 2nd October, I went to do some repair work at my place of residence, when I was almost done, one of my neighbours pleaded with me to help with hers. After I had promised to help her, she opened her mouth and told me what really transpired on the Saturday. She told me how some ferocious looking dudes storm the house, while some surrounded the house, others headed straight to my room, in search of the occupant of the apartment.

The guy who packed out of my present apartment before I parked in is a notorious cultist, who is well known for is heinous acts in that neighbourhood. On that faithful Saturday that they were engaged in their usual battle for supremacy, the rival cult group came to my apartment to look for him, oblivious of the fact that he has packed out some months back. They stayed for some time and waited for the occupant to come back from wherever he went to. This was the time I was in my shop doing things that ordinarily were not useful to me, but God used those things to keep me back in other not to fall for the claws of death.
My saving grace on that fateful day was that I was not in the house. They probably would have shot me dead before realizing it's a case of mistaken identity.

God spared my life from death.

May his name be glorified forever and ever...

@OP, First, I'd like to commend you for your writing skills, damn, you are good! The delivery of the content is also superb. You surely a brilliant person.

Second, we thank God for sparing your life, everything happens to us for a reason and we should never complain when things don't seem to go in our favour, reminds me of the people that missed being in the twin towers on 9/11 by the whiskers, many of what 'saved' them were minor things like baby pooing and diapers had to be hurriedly changed, going back home to pick the wallet that was left on the couch, traffic jam, coffee spilled and had to go back home to change the shirt and many other flimsy reasons. In your case, it was an usual request by a customer. Lesson: Always have a positive view to happenings in our lives.

Third, take a deep introspective view at yourself, there's something in you God still wants the world to benefit from.

Lastly, move out of that apartment today!!!! Tomorrow may be too late. Those guys might come back.

Cheers.

LANDLORD72:
Which way Nigeria My good people of Nigeria please vote buhari and APC Government out to bring peace to Nigeria once again

The kind of peace that existed during the last administration where money meant to tackle security (Boko Haram to be precise) was being shared as a largesse through the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) while the soldiers expected to fight them lived in deplorable conditions... don't even start what you can't finish.

Truth is, every administration seem to have a 'bane' served to it...from Niger Delta crisis, to Boko Haram, to Fulani Herdsmen. I'm beginning to think this is a deliberate mischief on the part of every opposition.

PS: Mind you, politically, I'm neutral. I just like to be objective.

EXLOVER:
It will never be well with Buhari, if not for that so called ASUU strike this girl be in her 200Level writing exam, she would not have time to enjoy life with her boyfriend, now she's dead. Bad APC roads. Either Buhari resign 2019 or i leave this country, thankgod I'm not broke.


Rip to the dead.

You'd soon blame Buhari for the guys smoking w*eed in public garages and cohabitation in higher institutions....

Why restrictions on smartphone. Seems they don't want people outside to know what is happening at the polls

BabaAduras:
If South West murdered Democracy on the altar of tribalism, the question is when? Was it in 2011 when the whole south-west voted for GEJ who is from South South or in 2015 when South West voted for PMB who is from the North? Was it in 2003 when South West voted against OBJ who is from South West?

South West do not vote on tribalism like East, South South or the North. We are the most educated of all Nigerian geographical regions and we vote base on what Contestants present on Polity and Issues.

I lived in Bonny-Island in the past. I was not allowed to vote in Finima during the 2015 elections because I am from South West. What do you call that? Upholding Democracy?

Think before you post on Social Media.

Beside, what is the stand of tribalism in a state election? A Yoruba man is contesting against another Yoruba man, so what are you saying?

I give you a standing ovation for this post.

greggng:
That is why I still maintain that some of you in nairaland still operate with fish brain....what is the definition of truth? The statement was made when election has not started....isn't that speculation. So Davido assumed something , it becomes truth to people like you that doesn't have their own analytical mind set? For your information what Davido did is just political propaganda to gather sympathy vote....but it won't work....let him go back to his ppa and complete his service before he can have moral and legal right to talk to us. Mind you Davido wouldn't have been making this noise assuming it was not his uncle....he is fighting for the family self interest ....

Davido's interest lies in his Uncle's bid.

...but what is all this desperation about? True service to your people and desperation don't go hand-in-hand.

JamaicanLove:




I get really pissed



Whenever I see two people inlove

This is one of the most weird comments I have read this year.

@poster, if I may ask....why?

.

Realname:
I like cohabitation, you both get to understand if you can live with each other for the rest of your life

Although I don't support it but this point kinda makes sense, a new perspective to me. Downside is both parties can pretend during this period and only get to show their true selves after getting married.

cruchenutii:
You have to request for day offs weeks before the said time/day. You can't just request for a day off on few days prior to that day. Also requesting for day off doesn't mean you will be granted. It called a "Request" & not a "Right".

Asking for sick day off is the most reasonable way. Its good he got fired. There are better opportunities in life than sticking to an old snitching HOD please.

That's where interpersonal skills/ relationship with you superior comes to play. While I was in paid employment, I had 2 or 3 occasions when I got impromptu calls for interviews and I opened up to my supervisor, she covered up for me on all occasions, despite the work load. Now this is someone perceived to have an opposite disposition but I had studied her over time and realized the kind of person she really was/is. Not everyone would have the sense and courage to approach her and open up on such issues.

When I had surbodinates too, I ensured they could discuss just about anything with me but of course I knew where to draw the lines.

He (guy in question) didn't need to tell lies, for me it's the most obnoxious approach.

cruchenutii:
Don't be stupid bro. Whether you're an employer of labour or not, I do not care. How do you even think?

I suppose that everyman is entitled to a number of sick leaves in a year, whatever I do with it is my cup of tea. Before you became a supervisor you were not working somewhere else? How did you find time for your Interview for your current Job?

If you want to apply for day offs, you have to do it way before hand, in some companies like 2 weeks. And there is no guarantee that you will get it.

Unlike kidman96, you deserve a hot slap for this post.

Dude lied, got caught and you try to justify it? What happened to taking a day or two out of his annual leave, he can do whatever he likes with those.

kidman96:
keep quiet. when you own a company someday you wont make such a senseless comment. i have worked as a supervisor before and i know how difficult things can be when an employee skips a days work for any reason. workload would increase and i have to run around trying to fill that gap, sometimes i have to even do his job myself. if he had applied for a day off thats a different case but he lied. nobody wants lairs around them because they are usually thieves.

his sack was justified. Nigerians especially lagosians always try to be smart even in the most unnecessary and inappropriate places and times. and it often come back to bite.

an employee like that has no conscience and would tender his resignation abruptly regardless of its effect on the production of the company.

You deserve a hug for this comment.
