DIGNITY OVER TOXIC TRADITIONS

This married woman is an apprentice just like me, we are both learning how to sew. This morning, she came to work late and our madam asked her to kneel down.

This is somebody’s wife ooo.

I summoned courage to tell her that she can’t ask someone’s wife to kneel down just because she came late, at least respect her husband.

Can you imagine that this woman slapped me and ask me to stop coming to her shop.. that I’m so disrespectful and that’s why she doesn’t accept Igbo people.

I didnt argue i just asked her to refund me back my 160k
I paid for 6 months and I’ve only spent 3 weeks with her
People around are asking me to beg my madam instead of asking for a refund that this is how it’s being done

standing up for dignity is not disrespect training should not involve humiliation collecting your refund is valid because respect and fairness matter more than forcing yourself into a toxic space

respect in apprenticeship should never require humiliation choosing dignity over tradition shows growth and challenges toxic norms in learning spaces where power is often abused without accountability
