@tinugrills said people thought she was crazy.
“Can’t believe it’s almost 1 year I quit my banking job to sell GUINEA FOWL. People thought I was crazy, oh yes I am,” she wrote.
Why she resigned from Polaris Bank
In a follow-up tweet, the guinea fowl seller highlighted six reasons for her resignation. First, she said the banking job was haram.
“Banking job is haram, no repackaging or sugar coating. I found out when I was already in it. So I had already had it in mind to leave, I just needed the best time.”
She added that she did not really like the job in the first place but took it then because of her family and friends.
The food exportation expert further revealed she already knew her next plan after her resignation and was certain it would work out well. In her words:
“I already put my mind to what to do when I leave, and I had a strong conviction it was going to work out and it did.
“Finally, I left when t-pain was active, I was scared and unsure I won’t lie, my mum begged and begged knowing fully well we have nobody and everything it’s just on me, now imagine if business dint work, we go to suffer mehn. But no 1 reason on the list put my mind to rest that nothing bad go happen and if it does, it will just lesson learnt.
“So please, to those bookmarking, think it through thoroughly.
“PEACE.”

“I don’t even mean this as an attack but we can see in real times, the debilitating effect of extreme religious submergence.
“It is easy to blur the lines around logic and morality, as long as there’s some sort of religious anchor – regardless how weak.
“My God.”

@tosinraj said:
“Well done Tinu, when I also heard about it being haram during my NYSC DAYS, I never spent the money from it, I was using d money to pay someone’s school fees without expecting a reward from Allah. Because, it was haram by d way but I told Allah, once NYSC finishes, I was leaving.”

Former Heritage Bank staff loses job
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a man had taken to social media in search of another work after losing his Heritage Bank job.
The man shared a post on LinkedIn, noting he used to work for Heritage Bank before the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s harmer fell on the financial institution.
The withdrawal of the licence by the regulator meant that the staff of the bank found themselves in the labour market. Temitope, who was one of those affected, came online to look for another job after Heritage Bank closed.
