DeleteThe accused should be given equal measure of beating in the prison but that man should pay his staff their wages!
DeletePleaded not guilty lol. Sup cynhams?
DeleteHahahahahahahaha, people ain't smiling, there is hunger in the land....
ReplyDeleteContact me for your celebration cakes

Why won't he pay his workers...is he mad?
DeleteThey didn't even beat him well...
He deserves it, that's how most employers do, they will intentionally owe you!
ReplyDeleteWish I could beat mine
DeleteMy boy was down with chicken pox for two weeks last month, didn't go to work koz I had to nurse him and also didn't want to spread the virus....
What did I get in return?
No salary for the month of September
To say I am pissed is an understatement
Lol,na hunger cause am. D employer no try at all,he shd also be charged to court for inducing hunger and anger in his employee.
ReplyDeleteNot guilty bawo? Man his employer was guilty for deliberately not paying his salary as @ when due lol

ReplyDelete#The hardest test of life is the patience to wait for the right moment.
Serves the employee right!
ReplyDeleteHe should have removed one teeth sef
Using their workers as slaves yet they won't pay.
Some employers deserve being beaten!
ReplyDeleteYou work for months under difficult conditions and the beast of an employer will still deny you your earned salary!
Not guilty, lol. Maybe because it was his right he was asking for. But beating him up, mbanu. Employers be frustrating their employees even after working hard for their pay and delay their salaries. To what end?
ReplyDeleteLol, he should pay him nau, buhari economy is affecting everyone
ReplyDeleteEverything is 'not guilty', Even when caught red handed. I wish civil servants(teachers) in rivers state can beat up Wike over non payment of salaries or one spiritual cane should just start flogging Wike till he runs out naked from govt house.
ReplyDeleteChoi...... Buhari what have you done to Nigerians?
ReplyDeleteSome employers deserve to be beaten!
ReplyDeleteAfter working under difficult conditions,the beast of an employer will still deny you your earned salary!
Hehehehe...boys ain't smiling
ReplyDeleteand imagine o, out of the salary that wasn't paid, they will have to still remove 50k.....Some employers sef,,,smhh
All this are frustration ,with the kind of economic crisis that is going OK,you ought not to hold your workers salary for just no cause.
ReplyDeleteViolence is not the way, I doubt if he will meet the bail condition. He just added more hardship to his life. In this times that we are in, it pays to be gentle as a dove but wise as ....
ReplyDeleteU are correct now he has put himself in more hardship,maybe lack of education is worrying him.
DeleteAm sure that N50,000 bail is not up to the money the accused will collect. He should just stay in prison and forget the bail.
ReplyDeleteThis buhari season 2 is causing lots of problems. That man is an ekwensu

I once worked somewhere, they paid me regularly for the first four months after which they began owing me. No one was ready to do anything, when I asked, older staff members told me some of them were being owed six months while I was making trouble for three months pay. By the sixth month, I became irregular according to the days I could afford tf. By eight months I stopped with my senior colleague in our deptment. While others in other departments couldn't do a thing they were hailing us.
ReplyDeleteThey have paid us part of the eight months while stiil owing. They actually destroyed many of us through this. Till today workers there are owed a minimum of six months at every given point in time. The MD and admin are covering for the chairman, always telling people that they themselves are being owed twelve months.
They have the highest turnover rate of staff employment I have seen. Their way is to employ, pay for three months, start owing, see you resign and employ another and the cycle continues.
The chairman always says that he doesn't see how someone who is owed a month's salary can still come to work, therefore there must be a way his workers are stealing his money hence they still come to work without salary. With this he doesn't care about salary payment to staff yet it's only MD and administrator and accountant that handle cash and purchases
Lolzzzz d guy no dey smile at all. D boss sef wicked y pesin go work for u finish u go delay in paying. Dats wot exactly my own boss did after working for months up till now his still using me 5 months salary I had to stop on Jan. Cos d more I stay d more d salary accumulates. Up till now d wicked man hasn't even bothered trying to reach me to at least pay me. It's all good shaa.God will judge him😓
ReplyDeleteGood for the employer. That is how one 'chop' my 2months salary till today. God has. Started judging him already.. He alone has the right to get vengeance for us.
