which job did you get through them?

If you really want to know about the company, check their online activities and their profile as well as their LinkedIn page. They are very active online. Google will help you source the information yourself.

Bro i did.... got an email today... online test with token number.. test on d 30th july

I can tell you that it's very authentic. The interviews are definitely going to be via teleconference. It's a reputable Company - they major in corporate governance and Company Secretarial consulting.

nuel000:
I think it's scam, I've gone through their website, looks like those glnd people

It's not a scam bro. They are one of the top recruiters and have been recruiting for government agencies too. Do your research well, they were a department in Deloitte and very reputable.

I'm writing this because I got a job through them.

Hey guys. I recently bought a 2003 Honda Accord (EOD) and would love to change the fluids starting from the engine oil. Can anybody advise on where I can get a good Honda 5w20 engine oil in Abuja? Thank you.

Where is your location?

Condition of the country**



I hate when people make that an excuse.

Not using that as an excuse, but the truth is that it has increased the crime rate, though unjustifiable.

I and my mom had a fight over something as similar to this lady issue just 2 days ago.... And I sabi waka for night no be small.... God nah your hand I dey ooo.... whatever she is facing now will be more than a nightmare and that is if she is not dead already.... God have mercy ooo

Guess you are now well guided. Good counsel should never be ignored. Nigeria is currently in a terrible state. The worst is that people who ordinarily would be on the low are now being made monsters by the condition of the country.

You're healed in Jesus name!

I seek job opportunities endlessly, and was glad when Mr. Richard told me he has a job for me via one of his connects. I was so glad.

He mentioned the job was in one of the top 5 star hospitality industry in Lagos. My joy knew no bound when he stated salary is N80,000 with regular tips from guests.



Concluding the phone call, he told me to report to his office by 2PM today if I'm cool with the agreement.

Folks, what should I do

MODIFIED: Mr. Richard said I should not plead or negotiate. It's either I agree to the condition or forget about the offer.

Well, this is not to encourage you to accept, but to inform you that the agreement is not enforceable in court or anywhere. Court does not enforce illegality, so, signing an agreement is a better way of making himself culpable for a crime. In fact, he would be arrested if the agreement makes it out. The issue here is - what would he do if you don't pay.

God bless you with a good job.

It's normal. The female organ is not a reservoir constructed to hold back your semen. A good quantity of it flows out after intercourse.

Domain12:
So I went for an interview last week. I think the interview was 3 stages handled by different people. I excelled the first stage, the second stage I think was a 50-50 interview.
They wrote what they feel about me in my cv stapled and gave the 3rd interview stage handled by the branch Manager. He read it and said I will get a feedback that evening. Since then nothing. I even sent a message to their number still nothing. Please what do you think happened? And funny enough I know the branch Manager. I think of going to the office to see him.

If you were contacted via phone, call them for for follow-up, or better still, go to their office as you said. In my case, I waited for about one week and called them. Your testimony shall come.

Amotekun777:
All these points of your are of course valid but, in a place like Nigeria, they're null & void!

The most important factor is NEPOTISM! Bros, if you no sabi anyone for 'up there', abeg... forget am!

Lol. I agree with you to the extent that it's very prevalent in Nigeria. For instance, if you go to some FG parastatals, ministries, agencies or establishments, you'll notice the high dominance of one region against others. In private organizations too, people influence employment. However, a greater percentage, especially in the private sector get jobs daily without any connection or referral. It gets easier when you have developed yourself into a resourceful person, such that you have a merchantable value. Don't let the prevalent condition of the country dampen your spirit bro.

anthonyuncle:
good points.
but in this country, na person wey sabi person dey get advantage

It's a leverage, I agree. Most times, na person go help you get an interview, especially for job weh they no advertise.

Given the issues of poor work-life balance, low remuneration and profound pressure attendant to my former job, it became obvious that I needed to change the job, hence my second job hunting experience.
Below summarizes my experience while job hunting for a new job.

1. There are so many reasons you may not be invited to an interview. It may be surprising to know that sometimes, interview may take place and the position filled before the deadline for submission of CVs elapses, and as such, many CVs end up receiving no attention. On the other hand, an organization could receive up to 150 CVs for one job role, thereby making it a herculean task for the hirer to review all of them. Sometimes, after going through the first 30 CVs (or less), the talent manager would select about 8 for interview and abandon others. If no one is selected among the interviewed, the hirer would always go back to download more CVs for further review. There is high chance that most of the CVs you have sent in the past received no attention. I know this because I assisted in filling the vacancy my exit created before I left. The lesson here is - as much as you can, always send your CV on time, and if you have more than one channel (hard copy, e-mail & company’s website) explore all so that in one way or the other, your CV would at least receive attention.

2. Don’t ever get tired of sending out your CV. That you have sent out a thousand CVs, or that you have been sending out CVs for years should not discourage you from continuing to apply for jobs you are qualified for. My new job offer came from an application I sent out nonchalantly, having already sent out dozens of other applications for over one year with no invitation.
More so, even when the deadline for application has expired, and you consider yourself qualified, you may still send your CV. Usually, recruiters return to their inbox to spoon out more CVs upon failing to select someone among the interviewed, and when there are no more CVs to consider, they send out another advert. This is why you tend to see repeated job adverts some times. May I add here that I was invited seven months after submitting my CV. The lesson here is, "don’t ever relent or get tired in your job search".

3. Always edit your CV to meet the requirements for the position you are applying for. Note this, there is no comprehensive CV for all job roles relating to your profession/experience. During my first and second stages of the interview for the role I’m offered, the interviewers pointed out that certain key duties/functions pertaining to the position I applied for were missing in my CV. They queried further to know if I have such experience. The second interviewer even suggested that I applied for a wrong job. I had to orally liberate myself by going further to give an insight on them. The functions are those you would ordinarily consider mundane for any other role. It behooves to say that many don’t get invited for jobs they are qualified for, because of this reason. The lesson here is, "tailor your CV to the job requirements".

4. Arrange your CV well. Ensure that your strengths and key skills are conspicuously positioned (key ones should be on top), while you'll list your job experience from the current job. In fact, there are some experience you had that need not make it to the CV. This can only make sense to you if you understand that recruiters/interviewers don’t read CVs, they don’t even peruse them but merely glance through to catch your key functions, skills, experience and certifications. The HR of my erstwhile employer rejected one of the CVs I forwarded to her for consideration because, to her, it was clumsy and not well arranged.
Kindly divert the strength you spend in copying catchy and cliché career objectives to articulating your good skills and experience. Most recruiters don’t usually read your, “team player, loves multitasking, and works under pressure” stuff you write. I know this because (for the second time) I sat at interview panel (including for the job I’m leaving), and no panelist referred to, or mention those clichés.

5. Prepare for interviews (even if the HR is your aunt). Note this, interview is a marketing opportunity. All you are coming to tell the company is why they need you, not why you need the job. No company would want to hire you because you desperately need the job, or because you need them to first employ you to later see how good you are. Many people allude that jobs in Nigeria are based on who you know etc, but good companies by virtue of their system and structure, are unlikely to hire someone based on sentiment or affinity. My former boss, a member of the Management team, brought someone for the role I just left, but the candidate’s performance was obviously not satisfactory to the panel. Always read up about the role you are to fill. This helped me a lot during my interviews. More so, some of the people we interviewed for the position I left showed that they knew the answers but could not just gather their thoughts. You could see the disappointment in their faces. The lesson here is, - always refresh your memory before going for an interview even if you are a veteran in your industry/job.

6. Yes, Master's Degrees and further studies are very good, but they must be value based. Some of the people we interviewed for the role I left paraded flamboyant certifications with little or nothing to offer. The job I got had Master’s Degree and another professional certification as added advantage, but I have none (and I even graduated with 2nd class lower). This is not to downplay further certifications/studies. They are absolutely important. The lesson here is - while you gather certificates, ensure you match them up with value (knowledge and skill). Also, ignore those added advantages and apply if you know the job.

7. Negotiation is an art that proceeds from the standpoint of personal worth. One of the nightmarish aspects of salary negotiation is that you are left to navigate through uncharted waters, or traverse unknown terrains in blindfold since you are less likely to know the company’s salary range. The concern is that you may not know what to say that would amount to overshooting or undershooting, especially if you are from a system that pays terribly low. Most companies would offer you a lower pay (than they earmarked for the position) if your existing salary is way below. My experience during the interview was that I added about N2m to my pay at my previous job to arrive at my expected salary (annual gross). Because I needed to move, I was afraid of overshooting. Unbeknownst to me, the amount is just one step above the entry level. The interviewers did not even negotiate but asked multiple times whether I would wish to change my mind. Upon receiving their offer, it became obvious that I undershot. I had to renegotiate and got one more step added. The lesson here is, always know your worth outside your current pay, and assert same when you have the opportunity.

8. Finally, believe in God’s grace. Both the job I left and the one I’m currently in, are jobs I applied for, casually, online. The one that I was head-hunted for, and the one a recruiter contacted me for through LinkedIn, never materialized. One notable phenomenon was I saw both jobs in dreams before they came. I kinda saw them coming.
I pray that everyone reading this, who is unemployed, underemployed, or desirous of changing his job receives the good news between now and January, 2021 in Jesus Name.

She knows how much I earn monthly (salary) while I do partial declaration of my side incomes. This is without intention to hide it but to accord it a level of obscurity that enables me handle some concerns that may never make it to the priority list or concerns that are just too personal.
At the level we are now, every income matters, so, while I always tell her of all my side hustles, I consciously leave out the figures or give the amended version.

good day sir please I see you put up that you're a laywer pls quote me with your number sir.....

That twist makes it a good movie, and closer to reality.

femi4:
you are wrong. What happened to "The head houses or protects the brain". That's the primary function of the head.

Don't tell me pry1 or pry2 pupil will not comprehend that

What then is the function of the skull?

You lack maturity, he lacks empathy. Grow up, love yourself, and stop waiting for someone's opinion to feel complete. You require a level of self completeness and independence to attract respect of your partner. I don't appreciate when peoples sound like they are begging for love, approval or pity - and please, limit your festival of tears, it's not so good a trend. Remember, no matter how you love someone, never you show signs or believe that you can't do without the relationship. Change that blue (m) suffix to red (f).

Crownstarsucces:
I guess you don't understand the whole scenario, Rudeboy's anger lies on the Judges, lawyers and other high officials that commit crimes and no one talks about it...not the rule of law as you said..

This you omnibus and generalizing comment does not justify the fragrant disobedience of the law by the accused, and further encouragement of others to act same by posting it on social media. Their punishment will at least serve as a deterrent to others planning to act in same manner.
If judges, lawyers and high officials commit offences, let them be judged for those, other than rationalizing a clear breach of law for any imaginary array of unknown crimes. Please find time to read about patient 31 of South Korea, to see what one person's action could cause in this pandemic mess.

omale88:
when was social distancing decleard a crime if you dont obey? was it not just a medical professional advice or instruction was a bill passed on social distancing,when? did abakyari go into quarantine when he returned from germany?is he going to be prosecuted?

There is a law prohibiting that in Lagos which was just enacted. People are saying all these against the court because we have acclimatized to corruption and poor social standard. Kindly read about patient 31 of South Korea whose singular action (attending church service) lead to the infection of a good many, leading to spike in the number, from thirty-something to above a thousand. Even though the church leader apologized, he was sued for murder.
Law has to be applied dispassionately, not just for the justice of a particular case, but to discourage other intending culprits.

APCNig:
Several rape incidents are being covered and swept under the carpets everyday. Not because the people are wicked, but because many of them do not know the right thing to do. Many think of protecting the family name. Many think of avoiding jail term for the offender. Many think it is devil's work. All these people are wrong.

The OP is confused and she has come for advice. Advice her, not insult her. If you ask your parents, they will tell you about several rape incidents that they know of which have been covered and swept under the carpets over the decades. Learn to advice people without insult.

And it is right to sweep and cover rape - defilement of a minor for that matter? See, from the op's story, she does not even know the severity of the situation, thinking that eliciting apology from the brother and forgiveness from the girl is just okay.
She slapped an innocent girl three times, but did not slap the sodomite even in his arrogance and you think it's cool?
She checked and saw that the 11yrs underformed vagina has been severely drilled and torn, yet she did not take her to any hospital, and you want us to clap?
The girl is there taunted in agony, regret and loss of esteem and purpose, with no shoulder to even cry on, and may be contemplating suicide, and all she did is to leave her brother with her for an "aluta continua", and you feel it's cool?
She needs all these comments to understand what she has done, and truly, her offence is greater than that of the boy.

Op, I can't but point out many scary issues in your post.

First, the way you easily vent your anger on the innocent under-aged girl by slapping her wantonly without any good cause is quite gruesome and unbecoming of a sane woman. It appears you have some insecurities, or long cherished resentment you refused to confront, but instead, you let it out by assaulting the innocent under-aged girl.

Secondly, I hope you understand too well that you abated a grievous crime of defilement of a minor, and are about to become an accomplice to further crimes, because the boy is not stopping. That girl is not safe in your hands at all. Your sentiment may land you into trouble. To make matters worse, you still kept the pedophile and sodomite with his victim, expecting no further occurrence. Are you really that clueless, or just wicked?

MY ADVICE
Be well assured that the act will come to light someday, and when it does, you will be charged too for the same offence (aiding and abating).
Be well assured that this is enough to wreck your marriage, especially if your husband is not in the picture.
Be well assured that there is no such thing as the girl forgiving now. This act will always taunt the innocent girl. I pray she doesn't "reciprocate" on your vulnerable children.
Be well assured that you are traversing a dangerous path.

Kindly take a quick action NOW! Those two individuals should not be at the same place. Take the girl to a hospital immediately madam. Inform your husband as well.
Even if I ask you to report the boy, you wouldn't. All I am asking is that you save the girl and treat her well. Stop the in-human treatment and festival of slaps, and please consider reporting the boy.

There is no lock-down in Abuja. I doubt the credibility of the news.

Dude, you're highly insecure, and that's why she will go. What sotta response were you expecting - that she will die for you? C'mon guy, brace up and be a man. .

I guess you have never met acutely stingy men that are even stingy to themselves too, or thirsty and insatiable babes that are never content. At no point should you generalize.

So, if someone is declared a suspect, it means the law has caught up with him? Your caption doesn't do justice to the content.

pictures and location pls.
