Monday, July 7, 2025 - A Nigerian man based in the UK is reportedly set to appear before a disciplinary committee at his workplace for comments made to his white female colleague.
According to an X user who shared the incident, the man had
told the lady that she was “adding weight” and suggested that if she went to
the gym, her “shape would really make sense.” The woman said she felt
traumatised by the remarks, prompting formal action.
The situation has escalated as the company in question was
said to have sponsored his visa. A termination could mean he would have to
leave the UK entirely.
It was also revealed that this isn’t the first time the man
has made inappropriate comments. He allegedly asked two lesbian colleagues how
they had their child, and was only saved from consequences then because the
acting director—who is also Nigerian—intervened.
The post has sparked mixed reactions online, with many
warning Nigerians abroad to mind their business and keep workplace
conversations neutral.
“Guy, the only thing I dey follow my British colleagues talk
here no pass football and Naija food,” the X user added. “Anything aside that,
you’ll not see me there.”
