I have never experienced being stranded, because I try to be extra cautious when going out of my safe zone. I just hate begging.

No worries, it's a lesson.

I saw an advert at mowe about a job vacancy,i decided i was going to apply for the post of hotel receptionist with basic salary 45k and free accomodation, i was so exited when i saw the benefit attached to the job.

So i called the number and i was directed to their office, on getting to the office,the secetary told me the agent fee is 2500, without hesitating i paid the money the following day.

I was given the address and the hotel is situated at festac, i packed few of my things and was set to go and resume work, i had to borrow tfare from my sister on that day.

To my greatest suprise i had spent almost all i have with me before getting the location, i knocked at the gate and i explain to the gateman about my mission, he told me they had employed someone about two month ago.

I felf like crying when i heard they had employed someone else, what comes to my mind is how i will get back to mowe from festac.

I had to beg for transport before i could get to mowe.

Have u ever experience such situation before?

Let me get this straight, you borrowed transport to go resume work where you did not apply. I would not be wrong to also deduce that you were hoping to get paid, fed and accommodated on arrival?
read well he said he saw advert & he called the number on it!

I can't forget the day i trekked from ojota to mafoluku after i lost my wallet in 1997. I was so ashamed to beg for money from passersby, not because of superiority complex but because, i was not raised to be a begger. That can never happen again sha, Thanks to technology.




Jesu! I can’t imagine

Sometime last year I went for an exam somewhere very far from my place, the exam was scheduled 7am but due to the distance and hold up I got there around 15minutes to 7, unfortunately I left my ID card at home. The gateman refused to let me in without ID card even after I showed him my script he insisted I should go and make another ID card and it was only 500 that was left with me which is suppose to be my tfare. I gathered courage and use it to make another ID card. Before I could finish with everything it was already 7:30, they refused to let me in for the exam cause it was already late, i was so frustrated and disappointed. The kind curse I cursed the gateman that day if curses truly works that one must work on him cause i cursed him from the depth of my heart. Las las i had to trek a very long distance cause I don't know how to beg
