A businesswoman has stirred social media reactions after discovering that a sales representative she employed three weeks ago, believed to be a woman is actually a man.
The shocking revelation surfaced online after the woman confronted the individual, reportedly catching him while he was taking a bath. In a now-viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she expressed her outrage, saying: “So you be boy, you con pretend say you be girl.”
Despite attempts by the individual to explain, the businesswoman remained visibly upset, highlighting her feelings of betrayal and deception.
The video sparked widespread reactions, with many netizens taking opposing views:
- @naturalskinsupply by Victoria pleaded: “Please forgive him… it’s just sad that society favours women more than men. He is only trying to survive.”
- @tshirt_jean_in_lagos commented: “In as much as he lied about his gender, please forgive him. Life can be really tough.”
- @Rukkyy Vivienne disagreed strongly: “This is SCARY. A man went into a woman’s home acting as a lady and stayed for weeks. What if he had other agendas?”
Some commenters suggested leniency, citing economic hardship and job discrimination, while others viewed it as a serious breach of trust and a potential safety risk.
The businesswoman’s sister was also heard in the background of the video, further fueling public debate on privacy, deception, and gender identity in the workplace.
As of now, no legal action has been reported, but the incident continues to trend across Nigerian social media, raising questions about employment verification, identity, and societal pressures.
