Workplace mental health

These articles cover mental health at work in Nigeria: bullying and 'oga' culture, WhatsApp after hours, saying no, harassment and remote work.

Hierarchy shapes a lot of Nigerian working life. A senior person's shouting can be passed off as high standards, and "no" can be heard as disrespect, especially when your manager knows your family. Work WhatsApp groups have blurred the end of the working day, so there's little time when your attention is your own. Remote roles for foreign companies can be quietly isolating.

Start with workplace bullying and 'oga' culture, WhatsApp after hours or saying no at work without burning bridges.

If work is affecting your sleep, mood or health, a therapist who works with career and workplace mental health can help you think it through. If your employer or HMO covers therapy, you may be able to book through them, and your employer won't see what you discuss.
