ckhelvin: If u try that one for my country Nigeria ehn..na suffer wey no get rival u dey..u go too dey their so tey nah beggars go they come check mayb dem fit help yhu..so op it's not applicable to my country Nigeria..sorry Sorry for yourself. In most cities in Nigeria, banks are often sited along a stretch of popular streets/roads. And banks employ all courses. No exemption. Have you ever woken up one morning as a job hunter and printed up to 30 copies of your CV and start dropping them off with all the banks and employers along the way ? This is done on foot. I wonder how some of you will get these jobs you claim to hunt. When one million people are pursuing only 100 vacancies, you have to be exceptional to make it to the 100... That's how it is in Nigeria . |

emeviks: When you truly desire the unachievable, you have to step out of your comfort zone (Fear of rejection, low self-esteem, actual life purpose,etc.) To get It! That's the spirit... When I come in contact with some millionaires and billionaires, one thing I see in them is that they behave, act and talk differently from the crowd. Some of them are weird, taciturn, talkative, even abnormal. But few common things is that they are never afraid of stating their position, what they stand for and what they believe. In all, they show great passion and drive. They are not afraid to make you their friend today and drop you tomorrow. Whatever brings in their money is their concern. Bottom line, they are go-getters. No shiit. 1 Like 1 Share |

ahika:The chances of it happening in nigeria is very slim. In the western world many top executive use the railway even bus to work. I watched one episode of queenlatifah show, and she said the vice president of USA used the train to work sometimes. It was really unbelievable but true.. Here in Nigeria, it can seldomly happen. Even if we have a developed western public transport system, some people would just feel too pompos to use them. You best bet, is the airport and when you can have opportunity to meet them and for them to even notice you then you must board a flight (the waiting room,seatmate on board). *how who nor get job wan get money pay for flight? That's just one issue sha* Nevertheless, Jobseekers should think out of the box to get the attention they need to land their dream job but you should take consideration of your location, what might be effective in Lagos might be fruitless in Katsina 1 Like |

He is needed the son of his father! Na so we dey hustle See where it landed him The breakthrough job that set the tone in my hubby's career was not advised He checked websites and sent his cv with powerful cover letters to many institutions and one day he had a date with destiny after sending out such a letter,he received an immediate response email from a top shot and an invitation for an interview from a man who was to later become his mentor . And like Ajani ,he was the second black man in that job at that point in time and excelled I pray Ajani excels at his job and proves that he is just as good as the best of them May God bless that executive that gave him a chance Great heart warming story 1 Like |

safarigirl: I dunno about Zimbabwe, then again, blacks never went to majority white countries to exploit them and debase them, now did they? If you ask if africans DEBASED anyone : As at today african (blacks) are the second largest race in america. A lot of predominately white towns and cities have now been dominated by blacks(eg the Ferguson, Missouri shey u remember) . Yes they have debased others. how do you think the original indians(red indians) and later the white felt? Till tomorrow africans are still relocating en mass to Europe and america. So when Mugabe chasing the whites and africans support him that makes us racist. Those foreigners will not contest for elective positions because the average nigerians will not in their wildest imaginations support them. A Northerner can't even contest for election down south how much more a man from a different race. 1 Like |

I have an Idea from this.... If you want to make it work in Nigeria for you..... 1. Try Designing an Advert.. Like those ones whey GOD Chosen People dey do or Those Reflectors shirt.... Print BOLD on them as Alfred don do (Na you go know wetin U wan write ooo) 2. If You're in Lagos... Try Alausa or IKEJA City Mall (Stand for the Middle of the Road... I mean that middle whey Street Light dey dey) let's say from 8AM-10AM (take a Break) from 12PM-3PM (Close for the Day by 3PM) often and often, u can try many locations u wish to work. I know before one Month (one person) go notice u and give u a JOB. My Opinion though  |

Why so pessimistic and uninnovative. You can modify this idea to suit your environment. Train stations in Nigeria are not patronized by executives. You can try the airports, banks, shoprite in vi or Ikeja. Big hotels is another option. You can modify the poster Ajani used to suit the Nigerian setting. The idea is to get a way to get the executives to see you as confident, innovative and intelligent, and that is what Ajani did!! |

Oh what a redundant post! The mods. couldnt even help before bringing it over to the front page. If this is how media houses report thier news, then reading news wouldnt worth it. I think OP needs to go back to JSS I to be taught "avoidance of redundancy" incase he was never taught unless he professionally studied "redundancy" in high school. |

Do Nigerian directors commute with train, brt bus, danfo or keke? And can they be even found among passers bye at Oshodin? Anyway, I believe there's a way we can re-invent this here.

The only part i like here is him getting HIS DREAM JOB,else all this melodrama is not worth it for a graduate who ought to have a sense of dignity as regards the way he went about it. Will not be surprised to see many more myopic graduates taking a cue. Why go through the stress of reading your life out for years just to stat looking for a job in this undignified manner? This same act could as well get him a job to start selling diapers or chocolates so why not go through a more direct way to get your dream job? *My candid opinion* |
will try that at Obalende or Falomo(Who knows Dangote fit employ me)
