@op;
I demand to know the author of this write-up. I want to make love to her words, watch her while she writes, pass her a dictionary when she's out of words and support her job search.

It's hard finding people with this sense of humor.

My kinda girl, tell her we'll laugh together to the bank, no more Ghana braids it'll be Brazilian from here bae.
Tell her i'll publish whatever she scribbles, tell her our wedding will be attended by words, tell her there's a pharmacy near me; no more headaches.

As for that bookshop owner; i'll make her eat all those books while we watch with popcorn in our mouths.

Tell her I'm raving for her and wont stop till the beat or the DJ dies, whichever comes first.

And finally; tell her I rented reality so we could live out our fantasies,

smurfy: @Yemisi63, Why mention a respectable church like Deeper Life in your satirical write-up? And why did you lie about being born again when it's obvious you aren't?

Why not just shut up when you have nothing sensible to say?

I enjoyed your story dear, was so sympathetic. I must confess that though it wasw a real ordeal I never stopped laughing, if you're a writer I'd die to read your books, believe me you're good. I advise you develop to be your own boss these guys they call "BOSS" they use us play kalokalo. Cheers!!!

Busted cheesy

Anyway, though the story is funny, it is very sad. This is essentially the kind of experience job seekers go through in this country. Employers want to overwork you and underpay. It reminds me of a certain nairalander who posted an ad in the job section. She wanted a male nanny/driver/tutor for her under-10 year old child. She demanded the candidate have a 2:1 degree in any course, it would be a full time job and the working hours would be from 7am to 9pm. The salary was 60k per month but it would be paid in arrears at the end of 6 months, and it was subject to renewal upon satisfactory performance.

Infact, when I saw the ad I just shook my head sadly. Nigeria is so messed up and yet some fools in Aso Rock are eating food worth billions of naira, with 10 million naira wardrobe allowance.





n how much is ur state gov'r spending for food every yr?

I for curse that person. Some people dey crase sha.

I've received a text someone forwarded to me about an interview. I was quite excited. It was somewhere in Ikeja and I wasn't so familiar with the town. After 30mins or more searching and asking people for the address, I found the place.
It was a three storey uncompleted building. I was already angry. By the time I went up to search for the company, lo and behold, it was an affiliate of GNLD. I spent more that 1k to hear MLM thrash talk. I just walked out of the place.

Next time Google any address that appears suspicious. A true interview text msg is usually detailed, contains a traceable address, sent about a week to the interview date, etc. Again, if you suspect anything, Google the address or the very message itself.
