A Nigerian lady, Debbie Doowuese Ajom, has declined a job offer a few days after happily announcing on X that she accepted the new work opportunity.
On December 15, an excited Debbie disclosed on X that she got the job.
“I got the JOB!” she tweeted.
Four days later, Debbie revealed she declined the offer. She wondered how the employer expected her to write a 200k-word novel for an N80k salary.
She expressed disappointment at the job description, saying many are mad, but few were roaming.
“I DECLINED the offer.
“How can you tell me to write a 200k-word novel for N80K? Many are mad, few are roaming,” she wrote.

Lady shares why she rejected job offer
Meanwhile, Legit previously reported about a lady who rejected a job offer because the work hours clashed with her church activities.
The lady nicknamed Holy Mary shared how she was devoted as a Christian. She added that life was not fair to her despite her Christian lifestyle.
She said she used to contribute to the church and soon became the pastor’s favourite, but she did not receive any help when trying times came.
