Why Nigeria Info FM sacked me – Popular radio presenter, Matse Nnoli reveals
Popular On-Air Personality, Matse Nnoli has been sacked by AIM Consultants, owners of Nigeriainfo FM.

She recently issued a statement detailing the reason for the termination of her appointment with the talk radio station. The budding broadcaster lost her job few months after she tied the knot.
Read below the statement…
Dear all, compliments of the day to you.
I believe a lot of you must have heard of the recent termination of my job as an OAP (On Air Personality) on 99.3 Nigeria Info Fm. Well, it is true.
I have read on several blogs that I was sacked for being arrogant, rude etc. Even recently that I lacked discipline. If I lacked discipline, I wouldn’t be successful in my career. I believe discipline, integrity and honesty goes hand in hand with true success. Ask those who have met and known me and they will tell you that this is what I live for. I am not perfect, I have made mistakes but who is perfect?
I prefer to be silent on matters like this but since silence is assumed to be consent, I will not consent to my hard earned reputation being dragged to the gutters. I worked too hard for it.
On the 2nd of September 2013 while on admission at First Consultant Medical Centre, Lagos. I received an email while on my sick bed, announcing my termination. Honestly, I was not angry but a bit shocked. I had been too sick lately due to my pregnancy and was not at my best but I expected my company to be supportive of me. Yes, I wanted them to be supportive of me because I had worked hard over the years to bring them much glory.
I know that I will see all sorts of articles and comments to discredit me but I simply ask this of you all. If you have ever met me and I was unpleasant to you, feel free to vent but If you don’t know the real me and all you have heard are insinuations, hold your peace.
I love people and always wish them well. My mentees and honest colleagues will testify to this.I love progress because I believe the sky is big enough for all the birds to fly. AIM Consultants. I am not mad at you. I believe when one door closes, another one opens. I have served you well over the years, brought you accolades. So please, let me go in peace and insiders in the Organisation who do not like guts should not use it as an opportunity to tear me down. I am a good person and YOU
ALL KNOW THIS!
God bless AIM Consultants, I learnt a lot from you and I am grateful. God bless us all!

I believe workers should have contracts or 'terms of employment'? In Nigeria, everything goes.

For all she's done and her competence on the Radio, she needs some support in times of such 'sensitivities'.

Its also true that many employers in Nigeria hate any form of audacity or subtle confrontation. Its all about the yes-man game, coupled with favoritism and tribalism. How painful. A slight 'truth' is seen as rudeness. I'm sure we have many Nigerians in such mess.

Rationally speaking, let's even agree she is rude or arrogant, are they just noticing or is her sick bed the best way to relieve her of her duty? Moral corruption is cellularly linked in this country, as any honest person is seen as rude or insobordinate. True success as I know, goes with hardwork, ethical values, honesty and competence but at a point, when you to swerve as the wind dictates you fall by holding on to the very thing that took you up. It a sad story, in a system that isn't very subjective to objectivity.

cool, noting spoil
