A Nigerian woman has revealed how her UK employer dismissed her after she repeatedly apologised to him for an offence.
The dismissed lady, @deeglam_varieties, detailed what happened and advised Nigerians travelling abroad to keep their attitude of expressing apologies back home.
In a TikTok video, @deeglam_varieties said that she worked a night shift and spent her time in the office lounge pressing her phone to avoid falling asleep.
The next day, her boss accused her of sleeping on the job, which startled her. Instead of telling her boss the truth, @deeglam_varieties apologised repeatedly before going home.
The following day, she received an email informing her that she had been sacked. For her, the development came as a cultural shock.

@Yemzy said: “A colleague of mine tripped and fell and I said oh sorry she said oh no you didn’t do anything.”
@user9602975014235 said: “If anything happens at your workplace you need to explain your part and never say I’m sorry to these people it means acceptance of being guilty. Even after your explanation never tell them you are sorry.”
@Patbaby said: “Don’t tell them sorry oooo. even when you see them falling just waka pass. I’ve learned it, my sister. I can’t tell them I am sorry but I will explain myself to them, that’s all.”
@Okunuga Bolanle Nadi said: “Yes ooooo my Sister. “I have someone if I say am sorry for he will say why are you sorry, it’s not your fault.”
@Oluwasimidele Ifeloluwa Joy said: “That’s sacking you with a false allegation. That’s why people who work in the healthcare sector have been told to join a union. You would have refuted this by laying off your work if you were under any union.”
