Businesswoman Uncovers Shocking Deception as Sales Rep Turns Out to Be Teenage Boy Posing as Girl
A Nigerian businesswoman has stirred online reactions after discovering that the sales representative she hired three weeks ago—believed to be a girl—was actually a teenage boy disguising his identity.
The revelation came to light in a now-viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), where the woman confronted the young employee after catching him during a bath, revealing his true gender. Visibly shaken, she can be heard saying, “So you be boy, you con pretend say you be girl,” expressing disbelief over the deception.
Despite the boy’s efforts to explain himself, the businesswoman appeared unwilling to accept any justification for the ruse.
The clip quickly ignited a wave of reactions online, sparking heated debates about survival, trust, and gender-based job discrimination.
Here are a few responses from social media users:
- @Naturalskinsupply by Victoria: “Please forgive him. If he’s hardworking and respectful, don’t chase him. Society sadly favors women—it might just be his way to survive.”
- @alwaysme098: “Why your sister go dey check am when he dey bath? 😂😭 Wetin she dey look for?”
- @tshirt_jean_in_lagos: “Yes, he lied, but please forgive him 🥺 life is hard out here 😭.”
- @Mmeso🎀: “Bro, you should’ve known this would blow up—you’re working for a woman. 😩”
- @Gifted Davina: “Everyone saying ‘forgive him’ should take him into their own homes. This isn’t something to just gloss over.”
- @adaghejudith: “It’s deception, no doubt, but maybe don’t involve the police. If he’s doing the job well, just let him go quietly.”
- @Rukkyy Vivienne: “This is scary. A man living in a woman’s home pretending to be female for weeks? What if he had bad intentions? People need to stop making excuses.”
The incident has reignited conversations about the lengths people go to secure employment and the risks involved when trust is broken, especially in private spaces.
