Yes illiterate is an insult. Please do your research well. There is different between an illiterate and non-literate. There are some terms that have been abolished but many don't know. You are an illiterate when you know nothing even your local language. In as much you can communicate in your local settings, you are literate to some extent. You are non-literate when you are not familiar with western culture. So, tell me, is there anyone in the world who at least doesn't know anything about his or her environment? So no illiterate.

If you tell pocohantas that most female bosses deserve a brain scan or a mental capacity evaluation, you'll have another derange female to curtail.

Male bosses have done worse. One even impregnated his married subordinate. Start the brain scan from your gender. There is a reason you guys occupy majority of prisons around the world. E pass derangement... cheesy

The boss overreacted. Illiteracy is a word used to describe an uneducated person..
But illiteracy actually has to do with the ability to read/write, not necessarily about education. Everybody is an illiterate in an unknown language.

My dear, if you can not read any person you are working with, your boss or not, go read memory master. You should be able to tell what your boss want. It is key to your survival. Even if your leaving that place. It is very important
So where do you draw the line?
It is as if you have forgotten how ridiculously remanding some so-called employer can be just because they employ you they feel the have right to almost all part of your time and life.

Good thing you didn't say rape, so I'll leave you to ponder on that.

I don't blame female for not knowing how to handle a leading role. Most of them never envision themselves in such positions and we (men) being benevolent, give them a chance to prove what we already know, that they're a baggage of emotionally haywire species and what you get is a boss going bananas because you termed another of them illitrate.

Good thing we both agree that the boss did that out of her personal detaste for men.

If that lady has a superior she isn't sleeping with, she will get sacked because of this!

CastedAyo:
A Twitter user with the Twitter handle @lollypeezle has come online to share how his friend got sacked on Saturday, January 23, Igbere TV reports.

He said that a phone conversation from the boss to the friend when he was beside his mum ruined it all. After their talk, the boss asked to speak to his mother.

The worker humbly told his boss that his mum is illiterate, asking the woman to speak to her in Yoruba only.

He said: “Ma, my mum is illiterate, please speak Yoruba to her instead of English.”

That particular statement angered his boss who asked how dare he talk about the woman like that when his job is to polish her up.

The woman asked if that is the way the worker goes around talking about the company’s clients. After an abrupt disconnection, the man’s contract was terminated via an email.

As at the time of writing this report, the tweet has gathered many reactions from Nigerians who thought the boss' reaction was exaggerated.

Which way Nigeria?!

The term illiterate is not an insult, but a term used in the description of a persons level of education (inability to read or write) etc.

Well it’s the same country that “how are you” na still insult.

The boss is an illiterate if he doesn't know the meaning of an illiterate also, maybe he's been looking for an opportunity to fire him before who knows
