We won't be stopped

"Pls what kind of nonsense is this nah… who knows the branch of chicken republic let’s avoid them for 1 year so they can close up.. is this country no hard enough?"
@Iam_Mimoa said:
"How many young guys can you see out there doing such jobs? But these guys were happily dancing."
@Real_NoLimit said:
"A sensible company would most likely run a PR around these boys with emphasis on CSR and employee wellbeing but they chose to sack them instead. Missed opportunity."
Precious E'song said:
"Very ridiculous decision to sack those guys."
Oluwatosin Balogun Adenekan said:
"It must be the security company that sacked them but if Chicken Republic didn't report they won't be sacked. When one door closes another beautiful one opens. They will definitely get a better one."
