"I dey shop o. The shop is locked. Oga are you coming soon. Abi I should come for key. I've been standing in shop now more than 30 minutes. Nobody is here. And I asked question nobody is responding. If you're not opening shop, let me know that I waste transport and come. I should be going back home. We're supposed to be doing practical on Sunday, nobody is in shop," the apprentice said.
However, the boss took issue with the tone of the apprentice's messages and voice note, responding angrily.
In her words:
"Are you okay at all? What's all these for? I sent voice note to the group. You listened to it. You didn't respond and you're telling me I dey shop o. Hear yourself. Even the voice note you sent. The audacity as if I just locked shop and I don't want to come to the shop. Shey you don't know my house to come and collect key? Why are you talking like this? I don't understand. Look at the way you're even talking."
The exchange between the duo sparked debate online, with many viewers offering their perspectives on the matter.
Commenting on the story, a Nigerian tailor, Angela Mba, said she once got into a fight with an apprentice due to disrespect.
"No be small wahala these apprentice dey give o. I fought with one on the road because of disrespect. Heavy disrespect. I couldn't take it. I sacked her after and refunded part of her money because I didn't want any of us to go to police station," she said.

@Olamilekanbabs said:
"This is why we have uncultured mf all around. Saying your mind shouldn't come with rudeness to your boss. If you want to be mad, that is enough work, you don't need to learn any other work."
@PERFUME VENDOR IN LAGOS/ENUGU said:
"In her message, she asked if she should come and collect Key in your house. Her message was there for over 30mins before she sent the voice not, meaning she was there for over 30mins after asking questions. Anyways her tone was out of frustration."
@Nancy’shairpalace said:
"My take is that regardless of whatever is going on here all I can say is humility matters a whole lot. Manner of approach too. I did an upgrade from someone that owns a shop just opposite my own but I can never speak to her in this manner, mind you my shop is even bigger with lots of staff. Even after the upgrade na boss I still Dey call her."
@dashmama said:
"Lead by example even u sef no fit to be madam instead make u use strong voice follow her talk u dey talk as if na u dey work under her."
@Daniella Jacob said:
"Thats how this bosses are. When I was learning makeup with my boss goddess this lady will leave me outside for almost 2 hours I will call and call I will keep waiting till she comes but if na me come late now she go dey complain."
@Eli’s fashion reacted:
"When I was an apprentice my boss drops key with a neighbor that lives close to the shop, it was easy for us bcs going to her house is a long journey, till I graduated I don’t know her house."
@Favourity616 added:
"To me ohhh nobody is at fault this life is base on understanding my own review abt the student is that she said those things out of frustration which was wrong. The Oga am very glad on how u handled the situation. Correcting her with calmness and understanding Cux if it were to be some boss they would hv done worst."
