Kwa kwa kwa kwa
What a 'trolling' right!!!!!!
A disqualified housemate is really giving haters panic attacks!
You saw your fave,ignored her and focused on Tacha Tacha Tacha!
U no dey shame?
And why does Mike appear as the weena instead of Agama
Lmao!!!!!

If only you know you shame Tacha more with this disqualified tag you always bring up.

And FYI the reason you and your kind are fiercely going to battle for her is also simply because of the fact that she was disqualified. You all are trying to overcompensate for her disgraceful disqualification and while that should have made her have the strongest fanbase, it only made her have the stongest fanbase merely on paper and in twitter trends.

We all know who is winning in real life amigo... and you guessed right its MERCY

The Aunty called her, why didn't she call her brother directly since the money will come from him? Why did she call the wife continuously, even telling her she'll call her husband but never did? Why?

She did and said the right thing any rational thinking human would do and say, her smartness is accurate and top notch.

Thanks

You didn’t do anything wrong. When they realize it is a scam your husband and his family will still blame you. Just ignore them.

My family has been scammed by various family members. The interesting this is my parents are still cordial with all the scammers. They still call and visit each other like nothing happened. This is the kind of behavior that emboldens these scammers. They know their family member will forgive them. SMH

Exactly!

Modified: What's it with nairaland guys and they always trying desperately to fault women in any post concerning them. How can i in good conscience tell my husband that his sister is trying to scam us? Do you know the blowout that could happen from it? The bad blood that may be forever caused by such accusstion? Yeah my sil was trying to pull a con, but she's not the devil. Even now, I respect her and still relate well with her especially as she didnt succeed.

For my husband, i told him that his sister could mean well and i just wasn't sure of her source and when a source I'm sure about comes around, only then will we pay, but if he still believes the job is legit, he can go ahead and pay. Of course he didn't pay and the whole thing ended there.

The way i did it was the best because even now, everything has died down. Pkatakpata they'd only say i was too proud to take the job offer. That isnt a sin.

I've been looking to get a federal agency job in Abuja for a while now and haven't yet had any reasonable connection.

My sister inlaw ( husband's sister) a lady in her mid 40s who's divorced and a hustler type still trying to find her feet called me up one day and told me a friend of hers had a connection for Civil Defence and i should email my CV right away to her. I have never discussed jobs with her before so the call took me by surprise. I wasnt particular keen on Civil Defence and as a lawyer i had my sights much higher on parastatal or agency jobs. She might have sensed my reluctance on the phone and she went on to say

"I'm just doing you a favour ooo, many people are hoping for opportunities as this"

She had this tone of urgency.

I didnt especially like how she was hurrying me as i never approach anything with desperation and as such, have never been scammed. I told her I'll get back to her. Two hours later, she was messaging me on whatsapp that she hadn't seen my CV on her mailbox. I replied her saying

"Aunty i haven't sent it ooo, is the job slot free because me i don't have money ooo"

This was a very dicey situation for me because this woman is over 10 years my senior and i wanted to be as diplomatic as possible without causing family wahala.

She read my response but didnt reply.

Very early the next morning she called me and when i picked up, she said that the job wasnt free but the price wasnt too much, just N350k. That i shouldn't worry that she'll call my hubby (her brother) and ask him for the money. When i saw she was still pushing, i opened up to her that even if i wanted to pay for a job slot, it definitely wasnt going to be a Civil Defence job as i had my sights set on agencies and parastatals. I knew she was upset by how her voice changed. "Agencies? What's that?" I told her like NNPC, DPR, NCC and the likes
"NNPC? ehnnn.. Okay" She cut the call and i heaved a sigh that it was over. It wasn't.

Two days later, this woman called me again to tell me she has an NNPC job for me.

(you've gat to be kidding me!)

She said that her friend knows the director and he asked for one million but after begging him, he agreed to take 500k she started with her hurrying tactics that i had only 24hrs and if payment wasn't made before then that the offer will be withdrawn. At that time, NNPC were done with their recruitment process and i didnt even apply and knowing how stringent NNPC recruitment was, i knew that offer was impossible. She went on that if I didn't have the cash that she'd call her brother (hubby) to make the transfer immediately. I knew right then without a doubt that this woman wanted to use me to obtain her brother by all means. She can try to scam him directly and if he falls mugu, good for her but why try to use me in the scam? I went further with questioning her on the supposed NNPC job. "Please Aunty the director that is helping, where is he?
" Abuja nau" she replied getting irritated with my questioning.

She was in Lagos and i was in Abuja at the time
so i asked her if i could meet the supposed director one on one and pay him directly and even promised to reward her and her friend handsomely if the deal pulls through.

"No" she said abruptly "you pay the money to my account and ill give it to my friend to make the payment. All you have to do is just hope and pray"

Pray... That word. I knew then without a doubt that this Aunty was trying to scam me.

I told her "Aunty please dont be angry, i know you mean well for my future and want me to get a good job in NNPC but right now I've already paid part payment for another job somewhere and i wouldn't want to invest in two places at once" That wasnt true, i just had to get her off my tail once and for all. She was shocked. She angrily cut the call. She wanted to finesse her brother out of some cash using my future, what happens when the real slot comes around. Would i expect him to pay twice?

Her mum (mil) called me and started blasting me. Saying I'm feeling too big to be helped and her daughter was only trying to help me and now she never wanted to have anything to do with me again. That i should call her daughter and take the offer so that peace would reign. I didnt. Even my hubby blamed me and i couldn't even open my mouth to tell anyone i thought the whole setup was a scam. That's such a big accusation to make. The family dislike for me grew worse because of that incident.

Please did i do wrong?



Modified: For those asking me to talk to hubby, ofcourse i did but he genuinely believes his sister was trying to help and since i couldnt point out outright that the whole thing smelt of scam, hr thinks i rejected the offer because of pride. But i know better. It didnt cause serious issue between us though.

I can't argue with you too but it's left for people to choose between what you said and what I said. your choice is your not mine ,thanks for your time sir and have a nice day and remain bless

there's f next to my name, why the sir sir sir...

real1000:
Sir that opportunity that may have meant nothing to you could have change his life. it doesn't work for you doesn't mean that it will not work for others, if IMO state governor and bayelsa state governor had loose hope like you they wouldn't have been a governor today,some people go to Court after election and win while some go and lose that is life,the man will not kill him if he had taken the risk and try so please stop discouraging people from trying out their luck,grace differs.

Experience they say is the best teacher. I wont argue with you. When you see the Chairman of an agency anywhere, hurry up to him and ask for a job. Please dont forget to come here and tell us how it panned out. You're here making someone feel gloomy about an opportunity that means absolutely nothing. I'm here telling the reality of things and I'm the bad guy?

Stop giving people false hope .

real1000:
[s][/s] If you want to fail and remain where you are forever follow this advice, I don't believe in this your mindset sir because everybody's grace is not the same what work for you may not work for me and because you fail with the same plan does not mean I will fail with the plan.The grace that follow A is not the same grace that follow B , I can never buy into this your mindset sir.

You were making someone feel bad about an opportunity thar meant absolutely nothing and you're here to say what now?

Really

Meeting high profile people in random places and asking them for a job is just you wasting your time. Even knowing them one or one does not guarantee anything. The most they can do is dip their hands in their pocket and give you money. The fella here that saw the Chairman of PEF in the supermarket and didnt talk to him, you didnt miss anything. Nothing would have come off it even if you'd gone to him kneeling and begging.

What people seem to forget is that these high profile people have relatives, friends, wife's people, village folks besieging them day and night for job opportunities that they haven't been able to fulfill and you think you, a random stranger will get such by greeting him and asking him for job in a supermarket? You put Jazz for mouth? Do you know how many random strangers asked him for job that day? You didnt miss anything bro , except the constant tension that you'd be plagued with wishing and wishing and wishing...
