No offense, but she said "Hotel" (in a place like VI)
I know I may get some backlashes for this on Nairaland but the truth is some industries deal more with looks than any other thing, hospitality (I mean the top ones) is one of them. Even if you apply for some position in bank without an extreme enticing body/shape, you will not be selected.
It's a known fact everywhere not just in Nigeria, you should know your look/ body shape can get you disqualified for some jobs.

I remember someone saying "ooomo, una get fine fine girls for here o" when I was working for one company few years ago. The truth is beauty is one of the things they consider in that company when recruiting (not only for girls), because they believe they sell looks and naturally or not, you must be presentable at all times.
Most top hospitality need modelled structured individuals especially at the front office or someone with banging body as Yinkaolusesi16 says. It's the plain truth, it's not as if they are selling them, but they add value to the company. It's a form of indoor advert. You may understand better when you have your own business.

Sorry about that babe, but the best for you will soon come where you would be greatly valued just for who you are.

After all you went through to get there on time? This is wickedness!

Mhenn.. I feel so emotional right now.

Why are people so heartless?
He could have just said theyll get back to you. Better than such humiliating words. Chai! And the girl fine for face o.
Some people just talk like untamed animals. No single manners..


Don't worry God will give you a better one to wipe away your tears.

Stop saying what you don't know.

What do you mean by "a hotel in a place like VI"?
Is hotel a beauty or fashion outfit?
What has looks got to do with hospitality and hoteling?

I've worked in Federal palace and Eko Hotel respectively; all in VI and I know so many short guys and ladies working as receptionist in these hotels without discrimination of any kind.

My ex works in Chevron Hotels at Chevron drive lekki and he's average (though he calls himself short man). One of their receptionist is a shorty too. So what are trying to say?

You're also wrong to say someone should consider their body shape and type before going for certain jobs. Mehn! Like what law says that? or its you just making up all these.

I reserve my comment. But you should tell us your height in your message so that human rights activist on the platform can help you.

Maybe. Because I don't know why she quickly had to use that as a major reason why girls go into prostitution.

Well, she's free to go into oloshoism if she's not willing to shoot her shot elsewhere.

We really have serious problem in this country honestly. We focus on physical look than what people have to offer intellectually. Looks may be deceiving that's why we employ people that are dead upstairs.

Keep on applying, don't let anybody make you feel less

Why I always advocate that short people shouldn't be getting married to each other.

The government needs to prohibit union. With the rate at which short people are getting married now, the average height in Nigeria might be 3 feet in years to come.

Sorry, you should have created a scene there immediately after that disappointment.



I was once told that short people are more smarter and intelligent than their counterpart.

First it's a private company so they have every right to decide what criteria they will use for employment. Although personally I would have given another excuse to disqualify her.
