Teenage Apprentice Steals Millions From Boss, Blows ₦500K on Girlfriend and ₦420K on Betting
According to reports, a 19-year-old apprentice has embezzled millions of naira from his supervisor in just two years of employment.
This revelation was made on X, formally known as Twitter.
The young man allegedly transferred money for a number of personal needs, including sending his parents ₦750,000, spending ₦420,000 on gambling, gifting ₦500,000 to his girlfriend, and saving more than ₦1.7 million in his account, according to the post.
He also spent a lot of money on unnecessary things.
The post read: “A 19-year-old boy going through an apprenticeship program was stealing money from his boss.
In less than two years with his oga, he had sent over ₦750,000 to his parents, ₦500,000 to his girlfriend, ₦420,000 on betting, ₦700,000 on frivolities, and still has over ₦1.7 million in a savings account.
From his phone conversations, it was evident that his parents were demanding this money from him.
Some parents are enablers of the societal decadence we face today. This is why a 20-year-old boy with no known source of income can come home with a Benz, and his parents would celebrate.”
The author concluded by saying: “We have blamed Tinubu enough. Let’s start looking in the mirror.”
Concerned people debated the moral failings and the complicity of certain parents in promoting such behaviors in the comment section of the story as it gained popularity online.
@ImmaJF: “Meanwhile a father from my mom’s place refused to let his son drive into his compound for over a week, untill he provided proof of his legitimate work. Turned out that the man hit a jackpot with bitter cola and cashew nuts export. You’re right. It’s on the families.”
@LadyGrasha: “Yes please. Some of the decadence in the society starts from the home. Even with girls too. Parents see a girl that’s not working with expensive gadgets and attires but won’t ask questions. All these things are enabling.”
@glucosezaddy90: “Almost dated a girl who was jobless at the time, trying to get something doing. She was taking a course to up skill so she’ll get into job hunting properly. Father texted her to demand 1M and when she said she didn’t have, this man started insulting her. Yes some families enable.”
@IamArmani8: “First: Nigerian moms are the greatest reasons this is happening. The pressure they heap on their wards are immense, especially when their friends children are doing better. Secondly: we can never blame the government enough!! B4 Nigeria will change, the govt must take the lead.”
@EmmyMics: “I’ve always maintained the stance that the average Nigerian is wicked and greedy and we’re a direct replica of the people we put in power.”
