Nigerian Widow Cries After Company Deducts N47k From Her N50k Salary
A Nigerian widow has been left in tears after her employer deducted almost her entire salary because she stayed home to care for her sick child.
The woman, who works as a cleaner and earns N50,000 monthly, was shocked when only N3,000 was paid into her account. She had missed work for some days while her youngest child was unwell, but despite informing her company, she was issued a query and fined heavily. The deduction left her unable to provide for her four children, and in frustration, she cried out during church service.
In a surprising turn, her pastor called her out in front of the congregation and blessed her with N100,000 and a POS machine to help her start a small business. Touched by her story, members of the church contributed another N100,000, raising the total to N200,000.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
