A tense confrontation erupted in Kwabenya, Accra, between a Nigerian woman and her employer, also a Nigerian, over the alleged delay in paying her full monthly salary.

The incident, which unfolded at a local store, has sparked widespread online attention after being recorded and shared on TikTok.

The woman, who works at Ramea Mart located at Kwabenya Aboum Junction, expressed her frustration after receiving only GH₵230, instead of the agreed GH₵800 for her full monthly wages.

In a video shared by the employee's sister, @sunshine_goodness2, on TikTok, the visibly upset employee is heard demanding the balance of her salary from her employer, who owns the store.

In the footage, the Nigerian businesswoman, who operates the store, was accused by the worker of repeatedly failing to pay employees in full.

The altercation intensified when the complainant’s sister joined in, voicing her support and recording the event.

From the video, she could be heard accusing the employer of exploiting her workers, saying:

"She doesn’t pay. If someone works for her, she refuses to pay. My sister worked for her for a month without receiving anything."

Frustrated Nigerian man says Ghana is better

YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that a Nigerian man expressed his admiration for Ghana, saying he would never return to Nigeria if given the chance to live there.

During an interview with a travel enthusiast, he described Ghana as a city full of opportunities, unlike Nigeria, which he claimed was struggling with severe issues like electricity shortages and high unemployment.

The man went on to explain how Nigeria’s struggles had left him frustrated, stating there was no work and no electricity in the country.

He emphasised that he should be working in an office but was instead running around without any opportunities, making him long for a better life in Ghana.
