Fired Chevron worker shares grass-to-grass story
According to his social media post, he worked with a major oil firm, Chevron, for eight years between 2010 and 2019 before unexpected retrenchment hit him and his colleagues, getting them fired from their positions.
During his years of financial abundance, the man constructed two houses meant for his family members to reside in comfortably.
However, trouble started when he made a personal decision to renounce his Christian faith and adopt Islam as his new religion.
His family members revolted and pushed him out of the properties and completely denied him access to the two houses he built with his hard-earned money.
Despite being heartbroken by the actions of his relatives, the man refused to give up on life and sought new opportunities.
He disclosed that he has successfully rebuilt his career and currently works as a remote worker for international companies based in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Nigeria happened to us and 18 of us were laid off for no reason.
I built 2 houses for my family.
After I lost my job I went back to the house I built for family.
Fast forward to few years ago I left Christianity and chose islam.
My family pushed me out of my own house simply because I built it for family.
They denied me access to my 2 houses.
I left heartbroken.
started all over and I now i am a remote worker for both UK and US companies.
Life can always start all over even at 50 bro.
Don't give up."
