Nigerians express outrage after witnessing a boss discipline her apprentice for tardiness by instructing her to kneel in public alongside her young daughter.
The apprentice, described as a mature lady learning hairdressing from her employer, arrived late to work, prompting the disciplinary action.
Captured in a video, the apprentice is seen kneeling uncomfortably as onlookers observe, with her daughter by her side.
The footage has sparked condemnation from viewers, who find the public punishment of another adult unacceptable.
Here are some reactions to the video:
@MrsZanga wrote: “Disciplining an adult like this is not funny at all. Send her back home instead. But Nigerians will be Nigerians.”
@UGONNA_JAY said: “These people that call themselves CEOs whenever they open a small store or smell small money, can go to any extent to punish their workers just to prove a thing. It’s more honourable to sack a worker/apprentice than subject her to this nonsense.”
@badinflu3nc3_ stated: “Discipline is necessary. Next time she will come early”
@Issossy opined: “This is too bad, the fact that it happened in an open space like this makes it even worse💔”
@KeneCFC added: “Na poverty & lack of options dey cause this rubbish. E no fit better for Tinubu.”
