Lady Loses Marketing Job For Failing To Meet N300m Monthly Target
A Nigerian man, Agu, has taken to his X account to share an ordeal on how his friend lost her marketing job over failure to meet her N300m target.
He argued that such demands were unrealistic given the harshness of the Nigerian economy.
He tweeted, “A friend of mine just lost her marketing job. Her target was N300M inflow monthly while paid 360k.
“We are really unserious and unreasonable in this country and take advantage of each other. Because of 360k you are telling me to go look for N300M monthly in this economy.”
Reactions from netizens were mixed. While a section of netizens did not see the lady’s predicament as insurmountable, others bashed the establishment for firing the lady.

Health is wealth is Yusfully…reacted, “They want her to sell her soul, body or do ritual.”
@Scholarea said, “They gave my frd this target ohh & she was scared bcos she has never done marketing & doesn’t even knw where to start. I advised her to take d job while sourcing for better one. After she joined, she was lucky to get some northerners trading dollar, she met more than her target.”
@salesmid… reacted, “The first question is, why will I market for you on a stipulated salary?
“If I’m bringing clients to pay you hard currency, my cut from each client cannot be played with. If I make 300m for my current partners that’ll make me 30m richer at least.
@Ubongaba… said, “There are companies that will task staffs outside of marketing or sales and place targets on them, so as you are writing codes you are trying to meet your targets. I know because I have worked for one of them, I had to run!”
@La_j0lz reacted, “The pressure in marketing can be frustrating and with Nigerian companies, the reward can be insulting too.”
