A video trending on X app has sparked discussions among Nigerians after it showed a security staff member at the Chicken Republic drinking garri at work. Many users are questioning why the restaurant does not provide meals for its security personnel, suggesting that it should be part of their compensation.
Reactions to the video have varied widely. Some commenters express their disbelief at the situation, emphasizing that offering free lunch is not unreasonable for an employer. Others criticize the individual filming the video, arguing that instead of mocking the situation, they should have offered help.
Several users noted that the security staff member might be waiting for designated meal times, which typically occur during specific hours for morning and afternoon shifts.
