A Nigerian employer has shared how the husband of her employee called to demand that his wife be fired, claiming her salary was making her “proud.”
This revelation was made in a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The employer explained that the woman, who works as her housekeeper, has four children with the man—who is currently unemployed—and that they are not legally married.
According to the employer, the man said: “My housekeeper’s husband called tonight to request that I fire her (his wife) because ‘the money don make am get pride because I no get work. If you no sack am, I go sack her. She know where I from, I go bring am down.’”
The post quickly went viral, prompting a flood of reactions from concerned users in the comment section.
