I remerd when we didn't c light for 6mnths,na stainless plate I de put for fire take de iron.dt guy no need the job joor.

Your friend is not serious

Sorry oo OP.

We are watching and waiting to see what the " change " government will do to resolve the epileptic power supply that has defiled all government interventions for over 5 decades.

One of the largest oil producing country indeed, see Ghana enjoys steady power supply.

Since I was born, it has been one promise or another. Nepa, PHCN are all inefficient.

We keep paying bills, for some people to get salary, pensions, steal money, when we are not enjoying any light. People run gen daily.

We pay taxes, directly and indirectly, most of the fund end up in private individual accounts in the bank.

Most politicians are conspiring with Bank managers to do last minutes looting in direct states as we speak.

obviously the guy is dull, i cant employ u as my marketing manager.... U have no excuse, is their no charcool iron or tailor near by u can borrow from, is there no generator, is there no manual means just d way u do it in campus? Whereby u spread ur cloth for few minutes fold it and put it under ur pillow to lie ontop or sit? If probably all dis method where not available put it on and tell dem no light if dey ask... Na 9ja u dey, dem go understand..

leave PHCN outta d mata...d guy no need d job dts y...him no get moni to go anoda area go iron or na wetin self...let him jst say he dsnt need d job or he ws probably lazy to stand up n go look fr else wia to iron or beta stil,get a charcoal iron....Nonsence

Ur friend Ayo is not serious
With all the tailors in his area
with charcoal iron.

I doubt the interview invite was from a reputable firm for him to have acted so unserious; it's likely an unsolicited invite from gnld grp and their likes....

...Btw...I suspect this Op to be the actual person involved here.

shoro niyen?

Op don't say ur child hood friend. U are the victim.

Lazy duck. So we should blame PHCN. You got notice on Thursday afternoon and had say 20 hrs to look for where to iron your clothes and could not. I once had an interview at Cadbury then, same day got excused from the place where I was working, got home at Ogba, rushed to a nearby tailor shop to iron my shirt and made the interview at Agidingbi. Like someone said, the road to failure is paved with excuses.

People like him do not deserve a job and he saved the company from dealing with his seriousness.

Had he been employed, the next excuse would have been..."I miss work today because there was no light to iron my clothes'.

If he can't solve simple mundane issue like these, I will not give him a job.

Try a nearby tailor's shop: May have a coal iron. Or try a laundry man , may have generator

My very good childhood friend Ayo just called me that he missed a job interview that was scheduled for 9a.m on Friday because he didn't have light to press his clothes. I told him he should have given it to laundrymen but he said he got the invite Thursday afternoon and that his area has not seen light for over 2 weeks!

Has this happened to you before? Please share the electricity situation in your area...PHCN a disgrace to Nigeria and yet we keep paying bills

If Na USA Visa him wan go collect I belive him no go fit late lailai. U go see hw him go borrow coat, shirt even socks just to look cute .

Don't you have a Local government Chairman? Governor?

I've been enjoying stable power since the past 4 months. If you stay in my area for 5 hours without seeing "light'' everywhere, then you're not in my area.

The total money spent on generator & fuel since January 2015 isn't up to 4k. My PC & phone has never gone OFF since January.


THANKS to GEJ.

That should not be an excuse! No dry clearner?

Ehehe, right now, I'm yet to iron my "Sunday wear" Mind you, light dey ooo


Some of us voted GEJ for a reason

Stand still bro, Oluwa is on your side.
Whenever I am faced with an impromptu situation as these, I do "pillow ironing"..,
King's college boarding house taught me how to do these.

FLOREAT bro....wch Set?

Firstly the notice for the interview was too short. i' m sure no be good job. If na oil job he for iron clothes

Your friend is a lazy a*ss. Getting a job is not important to him. He has no genuine excuse.

petkoffDrake:


but sweetheart! is that possible? turning electric iron to stove iron... can it still work with electricity after using it on stove?

cos since 3days we neva get light and I wanta try it 2nite cos I wanna go to church 2mrrw!

Yes it's very possible. Just don't place it directly on the stove,look for a thin layer of iron/zinc to avoid your iron melting or better still buy a fairly used iron and use it as your "stove iron".

Thank me later..

I think Ayo is still a kid(still collecting money for boxers at home) cos if not so he will use stove iron to iron the cloth

He deserves to be jobless. He had at least 18 hours to sort out something as basic and trivial as that, and he failed.
With that level of resourcefulness (or lack thereof), what could he possibly offer the workforce?

I never knew anyone could win the award for the "dumbest excuse on the planet". I guess i was wrong.

Kachisbarbie:
Not an excuse

God know say I go put that electric iron ontop stove...
E go turn stove iron immediately!

Seriously I like this girl.

Lol. Floreat orientations
