A young man turned down a job paying ₦700,000 monthly because he was unwilling to cut his braided hair to comply with the company’s workplace policy.
According to the account shared online, the man’s father used his connections to secure the employment opportunity for his son without him having to undergo an interview.
The young man completed the required medical examination but returned home with an unexpected decision: he would not take the job.
Company asked him to cut braided hair
The narrator explained that the company did not permit male employees to wear braided hairstyles and therefore required the young man to cut his hair before taking up the position.
After hearing his son’s reason for rejecting the opportunity, his father reportedly replied, “Then go and cut the hair na.”
The son, however, refused and allegedly insisted that he would rather remain unemployed than give up his hairstyle.
His decision reportedly frustrated his father, who had gone through the effort of securing the job for him. Following the incident, the father decided to stop intervening in matters concerning his son’s career.
Years later, man’s situation takes ironic turn
According to the narrator, the young man is now 30 years old and remains unemployed despite eventually adopting the low-cut hairstyle he had previously refused to get.
His father is also said to have maintained his decision not to use his connections to secure another opportunity for him.
The account has highlighted the consequences that can sometimes follow personal choices, particularly when weighing individual preferences against workplace requirements and career opportunities.
