I have seen from all corners (girls especially) people bashing GO Adeboye for his tweet of recent, and I must say so far, none have made any meaningful point.

now I want to ask you guys here, what was wrong with his advise (tweet) ?

I will mention 5 things that was wrong with his tweet. But before listing it, let me recall his tweet.

One of my sons once told me that he was always excited to resume in the office every Monday because he would get to see his secretary again. I told him to fire her immediately. Nothing and no one is worth your marriage

[quote][/quote]

Immediately I saw this quote, I wasn't even thinking of adultery or cheating. No married man will tell his pastor of being of being sexually excited for another woman because you all love acting holy when you are in or around church environment. Going by this, the following was what was wrong with his tweet.

1. He was judgmental : He should have ask what he means
2. He was arrogant : He knew the answer without investigating what he means
3. He was brutal : He made a pronouncement without understanding what he means
4. What if the secretary is a man? He misdiagnose
5. What if his son has a purpose to fulfill in the life of the secretary? He destroyed

In my short time on earth, I have discovered one of the characteristic of knowing your true path in life is renew passion. You will just be happy. I have had many moment like that . some on this platform. There are times I will be so excited to come online and none of it is sexual excitement.

What are you saying ^^^^

The reason he gave is not sufficient enough to order for the sack of the secretary

Except he has seen a vision or God told him something (these he did not mentioned) of what was going to happen between the the "son" and the secretary,then his action was wrong

A man of God as we know is supposed to act under the guidance of the holy spirit but from the evidence of things he acted based on mere suspicion.

Business owners have the right to hire and dismiss I think.

Even the people debating this would do the same assuming they could sack someone they don't like. Excessive like or dislike can be a reason for letting people go, either way. A softer landing would be transferring a person to another department perhaps.

We don't always have to debate the morality or ethics of a thing, sometimes what is expedient is considered.

If the boss is finding it hard to concentrate on his/her work due to distractions from employees, then it's not a clear situation and the business suffers.

Don't understand what you have said

Don't understand what you have said

Check the part I just added.

Also, technically a business owner does not need to have a reason to sack someone, it's at their discretion.

The only thing I can get is business owners can take any decision. Yes they have the power to do so

But let me ask you this.If you were working in a company where you were regarded as the best employee and one day without any form of query before now, you suddenly received a sack letter whch contains no valid reason for the sacking but later got to know after you have left the company that the actual reason was because the boss or the business owner suspected you of having something to do with his daughter who also work in the same office with you. how would you feel when later got to know this? when you know you never had any such intentions

Should a religious leader who is supposed to demonstrate love order without any valid reason the sack of a young lady who I suppose was doing her job very well in that company and because of this has endeared her self to her boss?

When you consider how difficult it is to get a job in this country today ,how can any order for the sack of ianother out of mere suspicion?

And to think that he even had to announce it on some Twitter just shows you that some people don't really care how their actions affect other.What sort of person will act this way?

totally agree with you

His actions suggest he's not ask spiritual as many people are meant to believe.

If he's very sure he had brought up that son of his to have the fear of God, why ordering him to sack The secretary...

The lady might be Innocent but because He don't trust his son, the lady secretary had to be sacked.

I don't even EXPECT that kinda of behaviour from a reasonable person talk more of a clergymaN.

What if the purported purpose is actually to fire her so that she's open to better offers?

If the secretary was a male, the Son wouldn't haven't been that excited.

He was not brutal. Do you think all that is about the situation is all that was contained in the tweet? For the GO to have stressed his concerns about his son's marriage evidently tells us that there was more story behind the tweet (that is, he has inquired a great deal).

He wasn't arrogant. Not in anyway.


But what you didn't point or deliberately left out is that the man is married, which you didn't put into consideration like the GO.

Let me ask you, what if your husband comes home and told you that he's always excited at work on Mondays because of his secretary, what would your advise to your husband be?

Thank you for your question.

If my husband was sexually excited about another woman, he will never tell me. Do you know 99% of Nigeria Christians sees their pastor as God. If you are sexually attracted to a woman whether single or married will you tell your pastor knowing they will tell you it's a sin?

Anyway let us assume. If my husband comes home to tell me that he's excited about another woman, I won't believe him. Someone like Adeboye should know something is off. It's at that time he should start probing his son. A son that I expected to be spiritually strong telling me he is excited. Definitely I won't assume he's talking of sex. He should have probed.

I believe he did, hence his advise.

That you won't believe your husband is not an advise. Tell me what you'd advise him.

I honestly don't like getting involved with debate like this, but this scenario is akin to Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. I am sure you are very familiar with that story.

Selah!!

I have answered your question. If my husband told me the same thing he told Adeboye. I'll never assume he's talking of sex. Because if it sexual, he won't tell me.

If it happened get ready for me to be best friend with that lady because my view of life is abnormal. The best way to neutralize opposition is to act harmless.

Do people not get sacked in Nigeria all the time? It's not always about emotional reasons, the business owner does what is expedient for them.

It's distressful no doubt, nobody likes that but sometimes you just have to pray and work towards better things.

Also, if you can sack someone because you dislike them, why cant you sack someone if they're distracting you due to excessive liking and it could affect the business?

Are you aware that there are labour laws in this country?

As an employer of labour you don't just wake up a sack your employee without any valid reason for doing so.You can be sued for it.

of course this Nigeria, nobody obeys the law.If the secretary knows her right and the real reason for her sack she can take the company to court and demand huge compensation.
Adeboye as instigated the sack of an innocent person for a reason any court will interpret as not actionable

Its against labour laws to sack an employee arbitrarily.You are expected to obey the terms of the contract involving you as an employer and your employee anything order than that is illegal
