mutiply: its not possible to know all,sometimes the easy tins we claim we know can skip frm our mind in some certain situations,a friend of mine once asked me to spell the word "capital" in final exams, i did nt laugh at him cause i knw the tension that normally occurs within that period, am very sure that gej does not know all about niaja bt he the presido,your example is very wrong cause some men dont know the number of children they have, believe me it's always better to take the shame and learn from it. You are right about the boldened, i remember attending an interview in 2008, and was asked a dummy question, "tell me the name of the president of the country". i looked surprised and laughed, and simply said Umar Yaradua, the interviewer asked for the middle name, i started looking like a dummy. Not until i stepped out of the interview room that i remembered Ah Ah Umar MUSA Yaradua. |

Re: What If You Were In "Oga At The Top's" Shoe? by Amya(f): 10:46am On Mar 16, 2013 |
It was clear from the first few seconds that the man probably didn't know the answer. Now that is pardonable. Where he killed himself was when he started beating around the bush probably thinking the answer would come from above, or someone may volunteer to say it or they may divert to another new discussion after the very famous 'my Oga at the top' sayings. But the presenters weren't fools , they saw what we all saw. It's not quite a terrible thing if the older generation is not particular computer savvy, it happens all over the world. Big position or no. So if I were in his position, I could just joke that the IT trend all caught the young people and as an old man, I really don't know all about that computer stuff. 2 Likes |

Like I said in another thread: ujchief: In another unrelated news; the officials of nairaland has encouraged this oga@top trend by moving all the threads to frontpage. Right now, more than 3 of such topics are on the frontpage and gathering traffic for nairaland. I hope you all are enjoying the trend now, don't click that 'ban' button when it starts becoming offensive and uncalled for. Thanks. |

Afam4eva: [size=14pt]What i usually do when i find myself in such a position is to lie confidently. I will just say whatever i like and if you check it up later and find out it's not correct, i'll just tell you that i made a mistake and then give you the correct version after checking it up. But that man could not have done it because all the presenters had laptops in front of them and would have checked it right there and it would have meant more embarrassment for the man.This is d best response so far. |
Re: What If You Were In "Oga At The Top's" Shoe? by pappilo(m): 10:53am On Mar 16, 2013 |
Afam4eva: You are not sharp. In 1999, George W Bush couldn't name the president of nuclear armed Pakistan, The president of restive Caucasus of Chechnya and the prime minister of India. Why wasn't he dropped by the Republican party as their presidential candidate? He went on to become a 2 term president of the United States. You post a lot in these political threads and you feel you know a lot but your contributions paint a picture of someone who is extremely clueless.I believe you are a mod so you need to study more and be objective with your posts. 1 Like |

"I'm sorry, I'm not very sure about the website address for now but when I confirm it, we'll make it public." If the presenters insist I say it, I'll just say "Like I said before, I'm not very sure so I can't give out information I'm not sure of" 10 Likes |

2good: I have found myself in a similar situation at work when we were having a meeting and someone asked me for an infirmation related to expected time of arrival of an item which I wasn't sure of. My answer was I can't remember the time but I will get back to you. He insisted again that I give him an approximate time and I told him that I cannot give you what I am not sure of and my boss response was 'that is a very good answer'. Mind you I was the only black person in that meeting. [size=50]....and so what You really messed up, you and your oga on top.[/size] |

What if you were in "oga at the top's" shoes? How would you have answered a simple question you don't know in a public space? i would be long gone before he knows his shoes are missing.....lolz seriously though, i would have answered with "I dont know", after all Obama was the first US president to be checking his emails by himself, beside, doesnt truth set people free |
Re: What If You Were In "Oga At The Top's" Shoe? by naptu2: 11:09am On Mar 16, 2013 |
When going for such an interview, you should prepare properly. Know what the subject of discussion will be (it's usually stated in the invitation) and research issues related to the subject matter. However, if you are asked a question and you do not know the answer, or you know the answer, but you cannot give it, truthfully state that you do not know the answer or you are not authorised to provide that answer. Do not lie and do not bluff, because you can easily be caught out in a lie or bluff. That's actually the mistake Mr Shem made. He didn't prepare properly and he tried to bluff his way through. It is more honourable to state the truth, than to attempt to lie or bluff. 1 Like |

mokshaq7: the question asked from him is an identity of the organisation he works for,lets stop dribbling around ,its like you don't know ur name in that vice,to it shows the extent of decadence in picking officers for offices in public office,civil service is a funny place to be for a challenging mind,you find it boring and annoying,the so called ogas moved around shoulder high without anything in their head,what matters is i am the oga based on rank which at times its not merited.We have some brilliant people too there but generally its very poor.I believe what he should have done is not to go there alone,he was too confident but he knew nothing,if he had gone with a sharper younger mind he would have salvage the situation.you jst hit dnail on dhead. The rate at which some of these(morons) ogas destroy/run down organisations with their ego always piss me off. I pity for nigeria |

Jarus: Teachable moment. Beyond the comedy. What if you were in "oga at the top's" shoes? How would you have answered a simple question you don't know in a public space? For example, I had been using BB for 3 years before I knew the full meaning of DP? What if I was on live TV, discussing 'politics and the social media' and one thing led to the other I was required to tell the full meaning of DP (e.g I mention DP and the presenter asks me to enlighten him on what DP means). How would you have managed such situation? If I was in such situation I would have played with words. For the DP case, I would have played with words and answered like this: "Maupe, one interesting thing about social media is that a number of abbreviations fly around, that people are even less interested in their meaning, but the message they pass. For example, popular as it is, we still have people that don't know the full meaning of lol. In essence, people are more concerned with what DP is about. I know the P-part means picture, but you will be surprised I may not be able tell exactly what the D stands for. Definitely, me and you know what DP is about - the picture in the short data page of your BBM. And that's the most important." You are even the dullest for using bb for 3yrs without knowing the meaning of DP I believed he wasnt the only one that was in that tv interview. He should have forwarded the question to the IT dpt instead of the 'oga at the top saga' |
