AB  - The irrepressible sage Voltaire stated in one of his treatise 
  Candide in (1759) that work spares us three major evils; vice, boredom and need. 
  This statement is true today as it was centuries ago when it was first made. 
  In Nigeria, just as any other developing countries, people work in order to 
  live that is to satisfy needs and wants. Work is essentially an important social 
  economic issue. If a member of the family who was gainfully employed is retrenched, 
  this will have reverberating effect on the family and the larger community as 
  a whole. This is so mainly because of the extended family ties system since 
  there is no provision of any form of welfare in the majority of the African 
  countries. This study examines the way and manner employers dispensed with the 
  employees in the workplace and the remedies available to the employees in cases 
  of wrongful, unfair dismissals or termination of appointment. The study analyses 
  the dichotomy between the employees with statutory flavour or special status 
  and those who are mere servants. The study also examines critically, judicial 
  activisms regarding re-instatement in light of unfair and wrongfully termination 
  of employment by considering approaches from other jurisdictions.
