Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has issued a warning to his colleagues.
He warned them against being too friendly with their domestic staff after one stole dollars from him.
Jide Awobona recounted how he had overlooked several incidents of theft by his staff, thinking they would eventually change. However, when one of his staff stole $100 from his wallet, he realized the importance of setting boundaries.
He wrote:
“I think it’s high time we stopped applying emotions in relating with our domestic staff, when they steal as small as chewing gum like this new one did, take it up (though I didn’t, but gage warning) that’s how I overlooked a lot until the previous one stole $100 from my wallet after several Nairas I thought I misplaced or spent, thinking it will transform his life. KO SI BI WON SE MA SE EBOLO.
