This is when a love is betrayed in order to save it. Or when you have to take a selfish risk in order to protect your love for someone. Take for instance when a guy and a girl who are dating go to a company to seek for employment or contract, but being the way things are in a society like ours, the guy or the girl might have to lie to the contact man or woman at the company that they are cousins and not lovers so as to get the job or contract. Cases like this do happen especially in our country where most men would always want to date or sleep with any girl that comes their way or seek for their help. And if a girl makes the mistake of going with her boyfriend to meet with a man for help/favour, she'd never get that help from the man. Cos most men dont like giving a girl money or favour to spend or enjoy with another guy. He'd rather prefer to see you suffer than help you, except you're willing to break up with your guy and become his lover.
Girls know what I'm talking about.That's why most times, a girl usually deny her boyfriend before her 'uncle' or benefactor. She's not doing it cos she doesn't love her guy, but doing it cos she loves him dearly. Probably she's trying to help her guy secure a job or contract from her so called uncle and in order to do so, she need to pretend or deny they are dating, so as to get the job or contract for him. The same also applies to guys. Cos guys are also faced with situations like this atimes, especially when a guy is sending or trying to secure a job for his girlfriend through a friend's connection. And some guys do this atimes whenever they want to date or seek for favours from older women/lovers. They lie or deny they have girlfriends, so as to find favours with other women. And imagine as a lady, you're being interviewed for a job in a company as big as Globacom and by someone as rich as Aliko Dangote or Mike Adenuga and you're asked if the guy that came with you (probably your boyfriend went with you to the place to support/encourage you) is your boyfriend. Wetin you go talk, if you truly understood where the man is going to... with such a question!
And some married ladies also do this atimes to get a job. especially when applying for a job in a company where the boss/MD is known to be a chronic womanizer and who gives more preference to ummarried ladies. in a situation like this and due to other circumstances, a married lady could be forced to deny she's married so as to get a job in such a company. There are some bosses who dont like employing married ladies. they prefer employing single girls that they can date and sleep with without any complications. So, atimes a married lady could be forced to hide her wedding ring, deny she's married, change her status to single and start calling her husband her brother or cousin before her boss. These things do happen. And you dont have to blame any lady or guy that does it, considering the situations of things and the level of unemployment in our country today. Many would give or do anything to get a job or favour these days. Abi no be so?

Same reason these old men would keep running after "our" girls.

If you can deny your man to get a job, then don't come back telling me "I am married, sir" or "I have a boyfriend"

Be ready to deny your man whenever he ask you out..

More like denying God to hang out with satan.

Anyways, let's talk about Jesus.

His servant, Job, despite the offer satan made him through his wife, refused to deny God.

On point!

If such a question(i.e is he/she ur b.f/g.f) is ask'd for the purpose of getting u in bed with the M.D of that firm,then ur dignity and integrity is being tested. Denying someone dear to u for a job is hypocrisy. Sleeping with someone for a job is prostitu.tion.Either way it happens, it is not morally justifiable.My advice-Leave that firm and search 4 a job somewhere else. There is always something better than what you think is the best.

A married woman denying her hubby 2 get a job should be ready 4 sexual advances and harassment 4rm her boss

better 2 learn how to make meatpie and donuts and sell thn let one old gorilla put his lusty paws on me. If i were a wman. If u deny ur husband/bf for a job u aint worth it. Tempted to deny ur husband by hide ur ring for job in glo - job in world bank nko? U'll include free s.ex in d c.v without being ask'd.. Women seem so willing to b debased for favors..

Its not the best and it causes complications..

I have this friend who is an architect/contarctor and had this very sweety ajebutter damsel he was dating then. She was so carzy about him that she comes all the way from seattle to him in PH where he stays 3-4 times a year depending on her programmes. Funny enough she introduced him to one of her uncles like that what was in PH government cos he was looking 4 contracts at that time but the Oga's PA kept blocking the job with conditions that he starts dating her. This was cos when he met the man for the first time, the PA explicitely asked what his relationship with the gf was and he said they were very good friends. She asked again "are u dating her and he said no". Anyway the relationship almost scattered when the gf found out. He didn't get contract though cos the man's PA made sure of that.
