It's very simple. Before going for any interview calls, make sure you've done some background research, including researching the employees' salary range of the company/organisation you intend to work for.

Going by the above, comparatively, you can give them a figure range.

Thank you so much Nairalanders. May you all continue to increase in wisdom. So much has been learned already.

To the Mod who gave this a wider coverage, may God bless you.

VeryWickedMan:
Package whatever you have and give it to them.

Those type of people don't need your gifts, it's the gesture that matters to them.

Do not gift them something way above your pay grade as they can tell that you are forcing it. They already know your level.

If you're a farmer, package your fruits and vegetables well for them. If you keep poultry, package your birds well for them.
As long as it's well wrapped and presented genuinely.


Again, do not, gift them a car when you are a humble farmer or an iPhone when you use a Tecno.

Thank you so much. This make a lot of sense.

In my own case, I'm a government employee and a programmer/developer, what do you suggest I gift such people?

phorget:
If they can afford whatever you can give them then I'll suggest you look somewhere else. Look for those people that cant afford anything and bless them.

You didn't get my point, but it's okay though.

I can't bless everyone neither can you. I blessed the few I can in my humble capacity without any fanfare.

They're way above my league, but I found favour in their eyes and I was greatly favoured.

I've this class of people in my life; they've rendered help that I often feel like I don't even deserve. There's nothing I can give them in return that would repay them for their deeds.

I've been thinking lately, how do I appreciate these people? Have you been in my shoes before? I need your help!

When you lift someone else's work, always reference them for credit

One thing I can tell you for free.....fear anybody man/woman that attends deeper life church.

Pls tell me more..

Thank you, Sir.

But why are we still constructing MAJOR roads in 2025? We’ve really been left behind, no doubt.

Ko ni daa fun gbogbo awon tan ti dari Nigerian seyin🙏🏾

Ordinary LGA Chairman should be ashamed to commission this talk more of a sitting Governor.

Nice gesture from the Adeboyes by the way.

Quite iconic

Man looks so lonely and somber.
Wealth doesn’t necessarily bring happiness—especially when it’s ill-gotten. It can bring something far worse.

The driver should be tried & jailed, and his handlers be made paid for the damages.

Celebrity life's a sick one, they always trying to please their cheerers while stuck with drugs and bs im their closets.

Ahh this thread. Growing up was fun & crazy, I did all sort of things.

1.While in secondary, there were rumours of humming spirit and ghost in the entire school, I was the one behind it, till today nobody knew that it was one of the pupils terrorising them. I hardly sleeps at night so I used most of my night terrorising those kids in my own crafted outfits I kept somewhere in the bush.

2. While still in the boarding school, I remembered sneaking out with few of my accomplices on one Friday to fortify ourselves against our different offences(sneaking to girls hostel, cooking in the dormitories, using banned items, vandalism, and stealing) so that they could be forgotten, and us, pardoned, but after all, we still chop serious beatings, heavy punishments & suspensions.

3. This indeed pained me, and I regretted it the most, I confessed eventually.

I got a fully funded government scholarship, it covered virtually everything while still in the secondary school. I was still billing my parents heavily to fund my wayward lifestyles in the school. Though, I've returned it all in multiple folds & asked for their forgiveness. I still hated myself for having mind to do such at that age.

So many regrettably naughty things to write, maybe one day they'll make it into a book. God really loved me.

You and your brothers did worse in Abuja while your father was the FCT's Minister.

Wrong move by Seyi, but then it's Bauchi NG.
Btw, Fayose started this nonsense stomach infrastructure, now all the politicians are copying that demeaning move.

Kobojunkie:
What reality given that many people out there do not yearn for a purpose for their existence like you do for yours?

2. Again, I get the sense that you somehow believe or think that because it is you, then it must then be the lot of everyone out there. Am I wrong?

3. You are superior and hence should have a purpose bigger than that of other animals in the animal kingdom.

We are the only only people out here, in this visible plane. Others are animals, entities and plants. We are in an endless quest to find meanings to our lives and bailed from emptiness. We compete with ourselves not with other creatures.

You're not wrong or right, I project myself & assumed the feelings of other, I know so many people do same, afterall, we're all humans.

We give purpose to those animals you mentioned,
even the plants & mystical beings, we lord over them all. If we have a watcher, a supreme being out there, I'm sure he has intentions and purpose for us all too. I'm finding mine, have you found yours?

Kobojunkie:
Giving of arms and volunteering is only a small part of what it means to step outside of your own mind— that tiny box that defines you — to see that it is not all there is. By the way, all of your volunteer service seems to be in the past tense. why? Were you not able to see yourself in those others?

I derives joy from helping others, I still helps in my little capacity, however, the question that always pop in my head is "why am I sent here?"

You, my friend, have you discovered your purpose here?

I lost my dad at his peak of his career, yesterday I almost died, though from the cause of my actions. But then, good men dies, same as bad men, and on a daily basis. Is our existense that inconsequential?

Kobojunkie:
Knowledge is a curse. why?

2. Where do you get the idea that there must be a purpose beyond you simply existing and ceasing after death? Let's start there.

I have so many reasons why I see knowledge as a curse, especially too much of it. If I begin to explain these reasons, I'll turn here to some literature & gothic classes.

Right from my childhood, I've always believed that I have a higher purpose here. Yes, I've helped strangers, gave people hope, make people smile, I've always been a shining light to others– a reference, but still, I believed that there's more to my existence.

Kobojunkie:
Why don't you start by doing something entirely different from all you have done before now, which is to step out of yourself and attend to the needs of others? Since you have not been able to find your purpose in yourself, maybe by stepping outside of you, you might get ideas to lead you to the direction you need to go.

I've given alms, I've volunteered in causes for humanity sake, visited the worst of the places to have share from feelings of others. Yet here I am

StillDtruth:
Why should it be more than that?

I am very sure that if you were hungry, then you would have known that what God has given us, is very very good and complete.

But if you are Cursed then, you must seek for something else

Unfortunately, there is none for the Cursed

Knowledge itself is a curse we must learn to live with, my question is very simple though—what's the purspose of humans on earth. I've done a lot and yet I fill unfulfilled.

Kobojunkie:
It is a born of a false sense of superiority over other creatures and entities on earth. Likely a result of depressive thoughts.

I disagreed with the false sense part, it's the reality. We can exterminate all other lives of earth with minimal effort. Of course, our planet is surviving because of all the ecosystems. We all need each other but clearly, we are the superior.

delkuf:
why don't you pray about it. I believe we should pray about everything. I have been in this position before. Infact am still in the process. Everyones purpose can only be reveal in prayer. No one knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man, so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. For you to know the purpose of God for your life, you must pray to the God that created you and knows you. So pray to God about it

I am currently praying, I don't want to just fake into the oblivion when the time comes without knowing why I was sent here. What's the purspose of humans on Earth?

I'm sure it's more than just to whine, dine & procreate.

Cold141114:
It's misery, I am currently 29 and I have been working towards getting the answers but none i swear

May we find that, which we seek.

We come here, whine and dine, until we grow old & die to become an history, it's very strange to me. Isn't life ought to be more than that? I seemed to be indifferent to all these now as I no longer finds them pleasing.

Finding our purpose on here should be our number 1 priority. No matter how intelligent and beautiful/handsome we are, they all get washed our away by the tickles of time.

Have you found your purpose here? How did you find it? Help me, I am still finding me.

Everyday I wake up, eat, drink, sleep, chats, and perform a milions of gestures that constitute life on Earth, but I still keep wondering why am I here?

I'm yearning for my purpose on Earth, my life seems like a primordial one, each time I feel like I've been here before—in an unfulfilled purpose lifetime. I dreamt of wars and ancient times. Maybe I was an emperor who failed in his journey of life. Now I've been given a another chance to right my old wrongs, and live a purposeful life, but I can't find the purpose.

I've delved into the dark arts, trained my body to beyond human level, travelled through time and space, just to understand why I'm here, I've spent uncountable hours alone since my childhood looking for answer, yet I found nothing and still feel empty.

I turned to church to get my answers, immersed myself in the gospel, loved the God's work, I gave alms, I helped folks, I've counseled, preached, I was loved by everyone who's had an encounter with me, yes! God has really blessed me in all ways, I remembered my mum & sis jokingly saying that God used the whole day to perfect me, but I still feel purposeless. I don't know why I'm here.

I refused to believe in the saying that we're negligible in the scheme of things looking at the vastness of our observable universe. I am LIGHTLOVER, and I'm still searching for the answers.

I'll value your inputs, my friends.

something else killed her

everyone is taking and drinking almost dsame thing... Stop blaming drinks.

although i don't support production of fake products, still, i doubt it was d cause of his or her death.

He died of kidney failure.

CodeTemplar:
Even counterfeit constitution and law system. Imagine a christian cannot school because muslims are fasting.

Such can only happen in those shariah laws practising states, it will never happen in the south of Nigeria.

SUPERBLOOM:
Sorry for the loss

Thank you
