A Nigerian lady identified as @Freakinsnow on X (formerly Twitter) has stirred massive reactions online after sharing what allegedly transpired between a boss and his apprentice.
According to her post, the situation unfolded after the boss reportedly heard about an incident where an apprentice allegedly assassinated his boss. Concerned for his safety and suspicious of unusual behavior, he decided to check his own apprentice’s Opay account.
During the check, the boss allegedly discovered a staggering ₦72,224,237.00 in the apprentice’s Opay account.
The revelation left him shocked, especially considering the apprentice had been serving him for four years, with two more years remaining before settlement.
Apprentice’s Explanation
When confronted, the apprentice reportedly claimed the money was generated from side hustles and coordinated “runs.”
The lady further quoted the boss as expressing anger and disbelief. He allegedly said people had previously told him that the apprentice frequently “shut down” nightclubs and eateries, but he dismissed the claims because he considered the boy well-behaved and responsible.
“The boy had served him for 4yrs with 2 years remaining before settlement and he’s wondering how he was able to have such amount of money. The boy said the money is from side hustles and runs he used to coordinate. He is furious and said people have been telling him how the boy used to shut down night clubs and eateries but he never believed cos he was a good boy.”
Social Media Reactions
The story has since gone viral, with many Nigerians debating:
- Whether apprentices should disclose external income to their bosses
- If the boss had the right to check the apprentice’s account
- The legitimacy of the apprentice’s claimed “side hustles”
- Broader concerns about trust, loyalty, and transparency in apprenticeship arrangements
While some defended the apprentice’s right to earn independently, others questioned how a serving apprentice could legitimately accumulate over ₦72 million within four years.
The incident continues to generate heated conversations online about wealth transparency, mentorship boundaries, and the realities of side hustles among young Nigerians.
