Was it Chicken Republic that sacked them?
A Facebook user, Olumide GlowVille, who was equally displeased by their action wondered why they were dismissed.
In a long post, he said that there is an argument that Chicken Republic never sacked them but the men's security outfit did.
We won't be stopped
The two men in a TikTok video on their page confirmed the sack. They said the company is still holding on to their salary. They, however, stated that it would not stop them from entertaining people.
Watch their video below:
On both Twitter and Facebook, people were furious. Below are some of their reactions:

"Pls what kind of nonsense is this nah… who knows the branch of chicken republic let’s avoid them for 1 year so they can close up.. is this country no hard enough?"
@Iam_Mimoa said:
"How many young guys can you see out there doing such jobs? But these guys were happily dancing."
@Real_NoLimit said:
"A sensible company would most likely run a PR around these boys with emphasis on CSR and employee wellbeing but they chose to sack them instead. Missed opportunity."
Precious E'song said:
"Very ridiculous decision to sack those guys."
Oluwatosin Balogun Adenekan said:
"It must be the security company that sacked them but if Chicken Republic didn't report they won't be sacked. When one door closes another beautiful one opens. They will definitely get a better one."
Boss motivates cleaner
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Oluwanishola Akeju, on Friday, July 2, 2021, narrated a significant encounter he had with his employee.
The Itsmy Hq CEO on Facebook said he saw his cleaner taking selfies in his office as he walked in one morning. The worker had to quickly hide his phone when he saw him.
Oluwanishola said he requested his phone and asked him to sit on his chair. When the cleaner did that, the CEO took proper shots of him.
