@logic boy and all those against him:

Merely reading threads on Nairaland sheds light on why Nigeria is in such a deplorable condition.

Some of the posts on this thread could only have been written by cynical cowards who believe the only objective of a forum is to derail any value-adding discussion.

How is it that responding to a topic is usually turned into an exercise in abasing and insulting each other?

If you want to get into a "fight", exchange numbers and get a room. The rest of us are not necessarily interested in these witless exchanges.

Do you guys see the quality of posts in other forums? You can actually LEARN from them. The objective of online forums are to share ideas, news and opinions in a COLLABORATIVE manner, not throwing daggers at each other.

It's not a matter of who's responsible for the negative image, Nigeria still has a long way to go. There's no way anyone can hide that.

When I first came to the UK, I was so angry. Angry at my Government.

Angry at everything they deprived my people of, myself inclusive.

It is true that in a country, everyone is conected.

No longer can we turn our eyes away, not speak about issues and say they don't concern us. The misdeeds of past Governments are knocking on every man's door. Yours inclusive. Take a ride with me. And remember that we have a long way to go:

Everytime you're cheated and you do not receive justice
Everytime you get home and there's no light or water
Everytime the corporate big wigs try to get the better of you with their excessive charges
Everytime you have to wait on endless queues to buy something you need with your own money
Everytime you're robbed or in an emergency and there's no number to call
Eveytime you look at the disabled and the homeless
Everytime there's an election and it's rigged
Everytime there's a contract placed on the pages of the newspapers and you know it's only been done for show
Everytime you count the number of unemployed and the dreams that have died
Everytime you see the number of failed businesses
Everytime you see an unsolved murder.

I write this without pausing.

This is 2012. My country has failed me.

I look at developed countries and see what they have. How their Government pays attention to them , how their votes count and how those who do not have work can live off benefits.

And many in Nigeria suffer for the sins of a few. Is this really a situation one should defend by not talking about it in the open? As some would say, the first step to solving a problem is identifying that you have one

It' s a systemic problem - one issue leads to another which generates a cascade of tribulations for the common man. For everyman.

What can we do?
When does this end?
Do we really want it to end?
Who's fooling who?
Do you want to bring up your children in a seemingly hopeless country?
Without the resources and convenience they need?

God bless you Simi

Who are we to question the vicissitudes of life?

You were an angel and died as one.

You're much better off than we are and will always be

Rest in the arms of God, sweet angel.

It's our loss; not yours.

Good idea, but I wouldnt do it without a paid job on the side as a backup.

As some other posters have said, it's tough out there and while a bit of motivation will help you along the way, you should realize it can go both ways. Hence, the need to keep your job until your business actually takes off,

Hi All, just to let you know that the news is not all bleak for pregnant women. Some employers are realistic enough to know that employing a married woman or ladies usually involves the "procreation element". From personal experience, I know that it's possible to get a job even when you're visibly pregnant! I was 6 months gone when I landed a job in Nigeria - they weren't discouraged by my physical state and were more concerned about my potential.

Bottom line, if an employer should refuse you employment because of a "temporary" physical condition, you probably don't want to work there, anyway.

While it's good keeping a positive mind set before an interview, it's even better when you prepare for possible awkward moments which may come up. Interviews though unpredictable, are a fact of life and having these at the back of your mind may well save the day and prevent days of mulling over your blunders!

If you didn't hear or understand the question, you can ask:

- Could you kindly repeat that, please?
- I'm not sure I understand what you mean, are you asking if, ?

If you are asked something you don't know, you may respond this way:

- I don't have that information at the moment - could you move on to the next question, please?
- I don't have information on that at the moment, but I can get back to you once I'm sure of the exact answer
- I don't know what that means but I'll love the opportunity to find out

Remember these though:

- Never apologise for anything
- You can't be successful at every interview you go for
- While interviews can be hitch-free, without uncomfortable moments, it's unlikely you'll have a perfect one. You'll always remember things you should have said that you didn't say or things you shouldn't have said that you said. On and on it goes but don't beat yourself up over it.
- Never feel bad about the outcome of an interview - if the job is yours, no one can take it away from you.
- While some recruiters are friendly, some aren't. It's just a fact of life. Besides, different interviewers have different techniques and theirs may just be one of intimidation!
- Try to steer the interview away from areas of your life/work you're not so comfortable with or confident of.
- Make sure your cv is as detailed as possible. This suggestion is however dependent on the job location. While UK recruiters prefer a short/concise CV format without "unnecessary" personal details, the Nigerian environment requires comprehensive information on all aspects of your life including your sex, marital status, age, etc. Choosing to include these as far as I'm concerned, can be a matter of personal choice or a requirement explicitly stated by the recruiter. However, bear in mind that providing information on your sex, tribe, age and status may introduce recruitment bias, especially in a country like Nigeria.
- It's easy to be tempted into exaggerating the facts of your life/experience on a CV. However, make sure whatever you put in there is as close to reality as possible. And more importantly, make sure you can defend it.
- This is perhaps the most emphasized of all interview advice: Be confident. Act like you own the place; be proud of your achievements. Walk in with a sense of pride and make sure you leave with it. However note that there's a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Avoid arrogance - No one loves a haughty person.

I know some of these tips are much easier to read than practise. That being said, you can still keep yourself miles ahead of the competition by anticipating as well as managing the unpredictable/awkward interview moments you may face.

Hi guys, it wasnt particularly pleasant for me but here are my comments:
- There was no focus on current affairs
- There was a strong focus on the cv
- Make sure your cv is detailed to a T with all gaps accounted for. Also, date all the educational instititions you went to from primary school upwards!
- Try to steer the conversation towards your strong areas
- I was asked to name 5 subsidiaries, why I want to leave my present job and discuss what I know about NNPC

P.S: NNPC doesnt count your work experience if you are going in through GT. All GTs start at the same level, post graduate or otherwise. That's what the panel members said, anyway.

Hope this helps someone. All the best

The first post was so touching, but also disconcerting for me to admit that it's rather easy to sit on the fence on a matter like this. Babies are conceived under different circumstances - both pleasant and unpleasant, which then begs the question "is the child responsible? Can an unborn child be blamed for its own conception?" I think we can all agree that the answer is no. Acting on this premise, it's probably safe to say that killing a child is wrong.

There are however medical reasons to embark on abortions - For example, in cases where science is able to reveal that a child will be severely deformed or plagued by incurable diseases such as HIV/Sickle Cell, etc

In some other cases, you see women bringing children into a life of extreme poverty  - they end up dying at birth due to malnutrition or living lives far beneath what children should be subjected to. Does this however give us the right to end such lives at conception?

Parents on the other hand should learn to act responsibly by preventing unwanted pregnancies, because in the end, they are the human custodians of such lives. It's far easier to play safe than to carry the weight of the "perceived murder" of a child on your conscience.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there's no easy answer - we can't cast an absolute answer of "abortion is wrong" or "abortion is right" without creating victims.

IT ALL DEPENDS.

I'm surprised at the rather bitter and angry responses that have been posted on this forum just because the guy asked a question. Whether the question sounds valid or not, its still a question and the person that asked is a human being as well.

Nairalanders, please show some diplomacy and tact in addressing forum members or don't post anything at all.

All these rather bitter and sarcastic responses don't add much value to anyone.

Rest in peace, Tayo Aderinokun. One line from him I'll always remember : "Efforts matter, but results are more important". May God comfort your family.

Hi,

Can you kindly describe what the IT and Accounting question is about?

- A rather odd question; I can't remember, Assuming I could, it would give you an unfair advantage, don't you think?

How long did the interview last and did you have to answer them on paper or on the system or just discuss it.

- Long enough - interview durations usually depend on how much you have to say. Lastly, the mode of answering is not nearly as important as what you have to say, this'll probably depend on what the panelists want you to do.

We were given a case study (IT/Accounting) - pretty basic stuff to reade through then called in individually to meet a panel of 5:
Questions were centred on::
- Provide a general overview of yourself
- Explain/Justify the answers provided to the case study questions
- Why the role?
- competency - based questions: describe a time when, , basically scenario questions
- When can you start? How much do you expect to be paid?

Pretty straightforward. Then it's bye bye, we'll get in touch later. And that was it. They were very organized and when they give you a time, they stick to it.
