PoliticsRe: Abba Kyari Committed No Crime On US Soil, Shouldn’t Be Extradited – Panel by Ellegacy(m): 12:57pm On Sep 19, 2021
Thinktwicemybro:
In that case, they should immediately release hushpupi because he did not commit any crime in the United States soil. If is accomplice Abba kyari can be freed on such grounds, then I urge hushpupi lawyers to sue the Nigerian government for allowing it's citizen face justice in a nation where he has never set foot.
Hushpupi is a Nigerian and lives in Dubai, he has no US passport and has never been to the US, how come he is facing justice there!
An accomplice is as guilty as the accused.
Bro, exactly my thoughts. The others comments are based on sentiments and are tribalastic. But with your point, it shows how lawless our arms of government is in Nigeria.

Anyway @ op (ellegacy) you have learnt a lesson here , the bashing you have received here make me pity you small.

It is well. Mistakes are made to learn from. I'm sure your next one would be better.
Thanks man. Definitely, I learnt a great deal. Just getting myself familiarize with the interview world. I have no one to blame if I don't learn from this.

Sorry about your ordeal. If the job is meant to be yours, you will be called.


However, you must learn from this experience. "Weldone" is not a formal way of greeting your interviewer(s). Good morning, good afternoon or or good evening sound better. Also, "stuffs like" that was a turn off. I guess that came out involuntarily because the interviewer threw you off balance with the whole "weldome sir" lecture. Next time, no matter the reception that you receive, keep your cool and be confident!


I wish you all the best
Thanks ma. I really need it.

You were not ready for the interview and you didn't have any interview experience as I can see.
As a matter of fact, "well done sir" is a criminal statement when referring to a boss or an interviewer. They regard it as a nonchalant form of greeting and find it disrespectful.

"Stuffs like that" is a little naive too. Gives the impression that you don't know what to say and you don't care.

Overall, I think the interviewer was harsh too. Seeing that you look young, he should have been a little more relaxed.
Thanks man. I felt attacked, but I know I was wrong. It definitely won't happen again.

If you want to get the gravity of a statement, translate it to your local language.

Imagine walking into an interview hall to tell the interviewer “Jisike Sir”. Haba!! You were too unserious, but don’t overthink it, it is a learning curve for you.
Exactly ma. I was ignorant, but I learnt vital things.

Palm kernel not kannel

Good morning/afternoon is appropriate not well done in an interview.

In a formal meeting, you don't use informal language like stuff, guy etc. You are not in a chat with your friends/family.

Overall, going by your performance at the interview.....I don't think you'll get the job.
Thanks man. I know I'm not getting the Job. At least have learnt something.

Stuff like that is just like saying etc. Back then in school etc has saved student a lot of trouble, especially when you know you're supposed to list 5 items and you only know or remember 2. Etc, or and so on, is the "legal" way of saying stuff like that in an interview.

Next time use etc instead of stuff like that
Thanks man

You honestly should have said Good Afternoon. That is more appropriate and formal.

And "stuff like that" passes the message that you're being flippant with the interview.

Jobs/VacanciesMy Interview Experience by Ellegacy(op): 3:27pm On Aug 14, 2021
So I attended an interview this morning, I applied as a farm manager. It's for a big farm that also has an hotel. We were called to present ourselves at their hotel at 8am in the morning prompt.

I got their around 7:50am. I was ushered in by the security. I have to say, it's an A+ hotel. Exquisite, full of luxery. I met people who came for the interview at their open bar. We were up to 20 in number.

I won't say I did not get intimidated. I mean their are young guys at the hotel, swimming, playing basketball, working out at the gym and they're all young. Like under 30. I'm the youngest out of the applicant I saw on seat btw.

The interview did not start until around 10am. We were kept sitted at the open bar doing nothing. The sun was out today so it wasn't pleasant sitting down at all.

It eventually got to my turn around 12:30pm. Yeah, it means I won't catch my beloveth man united at their first game of the season. Gosh! I came in, and the young chubby beautiful lady helping the elderly man conducting the interview codely signaled me to greet. Gosh, were are my manners.

I said "well done sir".

I'll refer him to as the Man henceforth.

The Man said what do I mean by 'well done sir'.
Still standing I replied 'I saw that you're busy with works on your desk and I have to greet.'

He replied "Am I the one that gave him work to do that I have to say well done? Don't you know well done is after a work given has being done and the giver has to complement on a job well done? You don't say well done in an interview. It's only my boss that can tell me well done. I know you don't know that, but now you know. Next time say Good Afternoon. You can have your seat"

When did well done become an insult??

Of the many interview questions that I was asked and I couldn't answer perfectly, one comes to mind.

I was asked to talked about what I know about Palm Kannel. I said we could get a lot from Palm kanel, we could make Palm oil from the kanel,and the by product of the kanel can be meshed and used as fuel and stuff like that

"Stuff like that?" The Man said.
"Stuff like thathuh"
"Are you a Yahoo boy"?
"No" I replied. (I'm just 27 btw, I have a forever young look).
"Stuff like that? You don't say that in an interview. It's grammatically correct, but it's wrong to say in an interview. Who are you? You just say stuff like that?"

I felt I committed a war crime to be tagged yahoo boy cos I said 'stuff like that in an interview'.

He said good day.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Have You Ever Been Accused Wrongly? Share Your Experience! by Ellegacy(m): 9:33pm On Jul 14, 2021
1. I have a black lip. Have being falsely accused, even by my parents that I smoked which I wasn't then. Now I do as a result of constant falsely accusation. Your lips are black, do you smoke? #Black_lips_matter

2. I once live in a small hostel of 4 rooms. We were all student back then. Around 2011 during my ND days. We normally drop the front gate key to a neighbor behind our house. That unfortunate day, I came early to the hostel first. I opened the door and went straight to my room, tired. Not knowing a room has being bulged and 5k was stolen. The owner came back and he accused me, cos I was the one that opened the front gate first. He ransacked my room, called student man o war on me. The man o war came, whisked me away, sized my phone, and maltreated me in their building. I told my parents and I got connect to the Dean of students Affairs. He called them to order and asked if they had any evidence except I came to the hostel first and open the gate first, which wasn't the first time. They had none. He demanded the man o war to apologized to me and the guy was told to look for other means to find his money or challenge his roommates who knew about his money initially

The next week, I saw him doing charm. Nothing happened to me

The US is trying to bully Russia and I think they are embarrassed that they keep failing. After all the Sanctions didn't work they want to try the physical way. The us should stop their intimidation show of force.

Trump tried it with China because he thought he could crumble the Chinese economy.

Na Just bad belle.
I believed the Russians can't withstand USA in war if nuclear weapons are out of the options. But since Russia has the most nuclear weapons, they are a country to be reckoned with.

Russian can't defeat the US. The US can't defect Russian. Both countries are sane enough to avoid physical confrontation.

Making more money for already rich players is what have being planning to stop. I think here is the perfect opportunity for me to.
