Thank God, if not because of Nairaland and google, i would have entered their trap, i saw there msg then, and i quickly dashed in for my suit, preparing for the next journey.... Suit wey be say na since d day of project defense I wear am last, my mind just tell me to search for d addrx online and i saw d list of fake job interview online

I have received more than 10 or more interview invites via text or email from those stupid people. And the funny thing is I never applied for 99% of them, so how can I be invited for a job interview when I didn't apply for the job in the first place? Before I knew their tactics I was very happy when I got the first invite and was already preparing the things I needed for my journey. Then I said let me do some background check on their non-existing company which doesn't have a web address or even professional profile. Lo and behold I stumbled on the name of the useless company on a Nairaland post listing it as part of scam interview invites or GLND people. My joy quickly turned sour but thank God, Nairaland saved me from wasting my time and money travelling all the way to lagos just to have my heart broken. And the painful thing is they sometimes disguise as real companies and put up open vacancies on legit job forums and websites. The thunder wey go fire them still dey drink ogogoro.

P.S: some of these yeye people hide under the guise of; supreme concept innovations, becologistics, pillars consult, CFLead, OliveConsult, morenikeji and many others too numerous to mention.

UNIQUEISRAEL:
Dear friends, take your time and read my story, I pray you find Grace to stand through!

Recently, I had to take a step that I was 100% sure was godly and morally correct but It looked so foolish to several people, but with God on my side and with the encouragement of sincere believers, I'm strengthened!

It goes thus:

Sometimes December, 2016, I got enrolled in a national scheme of the Federal Government of Nigeria called N-POWER, it's a current and working scheme that was set up by this present government to ameliorate or ease the high level of unemployment in the Nigeria.

Fortunately, I got an admission in December, 2018 to further my studies in the University of Benin, and as part of the pact or agreement between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the volunteers of N-POWER, it's required of us to work full time, that is; for no reason must we get into any endeavour that will clash with the normal working hour at our Place of Primary Assignment (PPA).

Prior to taking my decision, I did a lot of consultations, told a lot of friends, both the matured and the 'flexible' and of course I got mixed responses.

Some said "leave the job and go to school, you'll need the money, it's a national cake!"
Some said "put someone to impersonate you and leave the job for school!"
Some said "bribe to Head Mistress and go to schoo!, she will cover you up, in case supervisors show up"

The above were the responses from 'caring' colleagues, seniors and associates of which very few said I should do the right thing.

The right thing actually is to resign the Job and go for my education, considering the fact that the job needs my full attention and my education in the university will also need me full-time, it's therefore obviously impossible to meet the need coming from both angles simultaneously.

So I wrote a letter of resignation to that respect some weeks ago, upon which I got a confirmation from N-POWER website yesterday that I have been successfully resigned from the program!

Due to my preparation for school, I had to leave the town and stop working at my PPA since early February.

Some people called me later to inform me against their previous counsel that I had really taken the right step, some also told me that it was indeed a tough step to take considering the economic situation in the country but they prayed and encouraged me that God will see me through!

LESSONS

1. God's Will and moral standards shouldn't be compromised for earthly gains.
2. Act right, even if the whole world will tag you as a fool, God's on your side.
3. Be Wise and Courageous in taking right decisions.
4. God will reward all your sacrifices even when men's comments aren't encouraging.
5. Take the right steps, you may not know who is watching and will follow.

You must have learnt few lessons too about taking the right and uncommon steps, May God back you up as you take the steps to Stand for truth and righteousness. Amen!!!

I appreciate the honesty and sincerity in your actions, but I'm still here waiting for the main punchline. Or simply put the resulting consequence of your actions, as to if they were favourable or not. Yours truly.
