Congrats..
But this transcript is not useful to anyone ******. I am even ***** you posted this kind of *********.

Congrats again

Tolatof for president!!

TWoods:
Don’t waste your time. They’ll simply insult you and accuse you of trying to stop them from coming here.

Calm down man. He hasn't said anything that would prompt anyone to insult him. He passed his opinion across in the most reasonable manner.

There was no point in you telling him he'd be insulted.

My opinion chief...and happy new month.

Jerrevie:
Everything was just God’s grace and favor. I saw the notorious black lady doing what she does best. There was this other white lady with a squeezed face dishing out blues and administrative processing ( flight tickets that are hot now I’ll now be waiting for two weeks). Anyways I did my interview at window 5, this Ankara wearing guy was the perfect mix of professional and chilled (leaning towards chilled). We greeted for like 10 secs and he didn’t ask me any technical questions. That SAT trick tipped the interview back to my favor and God just oversaw every every �
Without further ado, here it is:

VO: Good morning
Me: hello good morning
VO: how are you?
Me: I’m fine, thank you. How was your night?
VO: it was fine thanks for asking.
VO: where are you going?
Me: I’m going to University of South Florida for my undergraduate studies in chemical engineering
VO: oh for your baccalaureate in chem engr?
Me:yes for my undergraduate studies in chemical engineering (lol I was too nervous to abbreviate anything)
VO: did you apply to other schools?
Me:yes I applied to three others: New Jersey institute of technology, Georgia Southern University and Cleveland State University.
VO: How many did you get admitted to?
Me: Just USF. Their admission decision came early and since it was my top choice I didn’t continue with the rest. *i was so nervous when I said this but it was the truth so I didn’t stutter*
VO: what’s your highest degree
Me: my high school degree
VO: when did you leave? * as if he didn’t already know*
Me: 2014
VO: so what have you been doing since then? *acting all concerned*
Me: I took JAMB twice then I got provisional admission into UI to study chemical engineering but I deferred it to take care of my dad when he was hospitalized and his leg was amputated. It was during this period I prepared for my SAT and I got a very good score. *this last line was very pivotal and it shed light on my strongest attributes*
VO:What were your scores?
Me:I had 1300, 680 in verbal, 620 in math and 6/8 in essay
VO: *nodding his head while typing* who is your sponsor
Me: *feeling the strength of the blek pentha returning* my mom
VO: what does she do?
Me: she is a deputy director in the ministry of defense and also runs a successful clothing business. She currently has 3 stores here in Lagos.
VO: do you have a bank statement
Me: *gives it to him*
VO:checked it for a while then gave it back to me saying the magic words...I wanted to concentrate on the words he said afterwards but I just couldn’t. I was too happy.

This platform was incredibly helpful and I need to thank tolatof for taking time out of work to help, for the mock interviews, the corrections and for giving me that SAT trick

Tolatof for president.

congratulations man. All the best.

tolatof:
Haha, We bless God really. Thank God for his divine Favour. More wins to come

More wins brother. Thank you.
and congratulations to Gracefaith12. I wish you all the best.

What John Zibiri said about Nigeria

I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014.

Two million of the likes of Buhari cannot change Nigeria.

�Everything is wrong with Nigeria.

�The Director won't give you contract except you pay up front .

�The banks won't give you loan except you concede a certain percentage.

�The man supervising the contract won't pass the job except you play ball.
�The clerk won't pass your file for payment except you rob his palm.
�The accounts department won't raise your payment voucher or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on.

�The worst thing is that it has become a norm that nobody sees anything wrong with.
� If you think otherwise, they begin to think you are sick and not normal.
�If you try to stand in their way, you put your life at risk.

�If you get killed there is no justice system in place to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book.

�The police is corrupt , the Judiciary is the same.
�Even the religious circle is not spared.

�Everything in Nigeria revolves around corruption.
�Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order.
� I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money".
�They will kill anybody and anything that stand between them and money.
�I am an electrical engineer with MNSE and COREN. The system don't care about my qualifications.

�Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, pastors, friends and relatives without any basic skills.
�I started asking myself, how do I convince my kids that education and hard work is rewarding?
�When fools, agberos and touts are running the country from the local govt to the Presidency.

�Is this what my four sons will also go through? In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I migrated to Australia with my family.
�Don't put yourself in harm way for any reason.
�The problem of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

�Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it. The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf.
�They are corrupt, morally bankrupt and selfish.
� Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria .

�You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything.
�Let those under the hammer start the revolution. I beg make you hear word.
�This post is gonna anger a lot of my followers. I'm still gonna post it anyway.

*Analogy of OPPRESSORS & FOOLISH CITIZENS.
*(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors):

� During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

�The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground.

�The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature.

�The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

�Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership.

�He said, "This chicken represents the people".

�"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

�"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you".

�"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

� Breath taking, isn't it ?

�‍♂ Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.

�Take a look at those they call their heroes.
�They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is.
�They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments.

�Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's house during this Christmas period to go and collect peanuts?

�Did you see the crowd that welcomed Ibori?

�Your guess is as good as mine. And the likes of many others, we all know about.

�Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! �

Pass to all your contacts & let your government know we know.

@theamerican Thank you so much for sharing this!

godG:
That doesn't sound convincing, to me, sir. You mean if someone else at the said place of work had told you that a certain program wqs instrumental to his/her growth, you would consider such program? Why not talk about the things you love doing that is related to your proposed program and how you want to gain a more nuanced understanding of that thing or field?

Plus, you should be weary of these proposed responses. Don't be mechanical in front of the VO, just flow.

I totally agree.

Sorelee:
Glory be to GOD.
I am happy for you, infact I dey dance like this

You've been a blessing to a lot of us.
God bless you brother.

Aronman:
