Popular Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Kuleyt, has warned homeowners and residents against permitting security guards in residential compounds to operate petty businesses while on duty.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the entertainer explained that granting such permission distracts guards from their primary responsibility of securing the premises and serving their employers.
According to her, security personnel who are allowed to set up small businesses at their duty posts gradually lose focus on their core assignments and prioritize their personal trade over the safety of the compound.

‘’The mistake I would never make again in my life is to employ a security guard and allow him to be selling things in front of the compound, regardless of what that thing is, shoemaker or biscuits or sweets…I will never allow that again. If you like, call me a wicked person, I like it. “ she said
“Sometimes, its good for people to be wicked because security guards selling in front of your house is no longer a security guard. He is now a trader. Even if I am a tenant in a building, if I employ you as a security gyard. focus on that security job because the moment they start selling things in front of the compound, he will not concentrate on the job he was employed to do. I am speaking from experience.
The moment they start doing business and making money, they will start acting as if they are doing you a favour by being your security guard. No, I paid you for the job you are doing. If I did not give you the opportunity for you to be selling whatsoever at that gate, you dare not try it, and so don't misuse that opportunity. They will no longer have respect for their boss.
When I return from an outing and start honking for you to open the gate, they would rather focus on the business transaction they are carrying out. You will now keep me waiting at my entrance where I employed you.”
