Tochi, a former housemate of the Big Brother Naija reality show, recently sparked an online debate after he spoke about the treatment of employees by some Nigerian employers. In a post on his Instagram stories, Tochi revealed that some employers tend to employ people for a specific role but end up making them do other tasks while underpaying them. According to the reality star, it is only in Nigeria that an employer would hire a chef but also turn him into a driver, cleaner, gateman, nanny, and more, while paying him a meagre sum. In his words; “Nigerians will employ a chef and turn him into a nanny, gateman, cleaner, driver and delivery agent and still pay him 17,500 naira.” The candid post by Tochi sparked an online debate, with many Nigerians sharing their experiences of being underpaid and overworked by their employers. Some of the netizens who reacted to the post expressed their disappointment with the poor treatment of employees in the country. See below;
