Nigerian 'king' lost Tesco job because of regal duty

    A Nigerian king-in-waiting who was fired after he overstayed a Tesco time-off deal for regal duties in his home village has been awarded €10,000 compensation for unfair dismissal.
    An Employment Appeals Tribunal found that Tesco had failed to "adhere to any of the procedures" when it dismissed Edward Agbaje, of The Sycamores, Edenderry, Co Offaly.
    Mr Agbaje, who said he is now a taxi driver taking home €31 a week after expenses, had started work with Tesco in May 2006. Speaking at his home in Co Offaly yesterday, Mr Agbaje expressed disappointment at the level of the tribunal settlement.

    In April 2008, he booked four weeks' holidays to return to Nigeria as he had been selected to be the future king of his village. However, he was unable to return for six weeks due to the processes involved in his village regarding his kingship.

    Why be a king on one country when you can work in Tesco and like like a king in another?

    on the Indo website, names and places etc appear as links to make to easier to search for related topics etc. If the OP just coppied and pasted the story from the Indo site then the links would have coppied too

    100% correct and the (quick) way to stop this is to post similar website text examples, highlight the whole lot (slow way - individually) after pasting and click the "unlink" icon (the one with the "x" thru it) above the advanced text entry box.
    Turns off all the links that have come involuntarily with the imported text. :)
