Man deletes company's Instagram page
According to @IyelolaIge, the man has been working with the company for about two years and was able to single-handedly raise its social media page from zero to a huge number of followers.
He said:
"My friend built a company's Instagram page from zero to 400,000 followers in two years.
Just two years.
People noticed. People talked about his strategy openly."
However, a day came when the man decided to seek a higher position in the company. That position he wanted was occupied by the company's manager's daughter, who he claimed had no contribution to the company.

The manager said he was 'unrealistic' given the number of years he has been working with the company.
"Then he walked into his manager's office and made one request.
Recognise him as Content Manager and adjust his salary to match.
The person holding that title was the manager's daughter.
She had never grown anything.
The manager looked at him and said
"He's being unrealistic, when did he even join this company?"
And I know my friend, he has anger issue, so he said nothing."
After the conversation with the company's manager, he went to his desk, deleted the Instagram account, and went on to submit his resignation.
Speaking about what happened next, @IyelolaIge wrote:
"He went back to his desk.
Deleted the entire account.
400,000 followers. Gone.
Submitted his resignation and disappeared.
The company sent police to his house.
He was nowhere to be found."

Most companies underpay their staff then act surprised when people leave or retaliate.
Pay a man what he deserves. Simple."
