dammyconcept:
My fellow nairalnder, I will be happy if you can help me thank God. I am a good nairalander and people called me Nairaland addict.
Im a graduate finished serving my fatherland last year. I am a professional Photographer also then I said if I cannot be employed as an accountant then let me apply for the post of Photography.
Everyday I open Nairaland and see people thanking God that they are now employed I do join them praise God and I know my day of testimony will soon come.
I don't have any forum than Nairaland as my job search engine because I know I will soon share my own testimony. Last year I saw a post on photography so I quickly forwarded my mail. A week later, I was called for an interview and we were told that they will get back to us.
I was called for second interview and we were told that anybody that did not receive text within three days should considered not qualified.
To the glory of God, I received mail that the last interview will be a chat with the MD so below is the short chat with the owner of the company.

Dammy: Good morning mir,
MD: so you are ........Dammy and you applied as a photographer
Dammy: Yes you are right mir
MD: I am not going to employ you...........
( come and see me I wanted to faint)
MD: I mean I'm not going to employ you as a photographer but you will be my accountant so follow me I will show you your personal Office.


for those that are still hoping that God will give them a good job, I pray your own time will soon come
pls if you know you can help me with accommodation around MAGODO PHASE 2 pls mail me . dammylaray@gmail. com

congrats.God favour.

[quote author=VickyRotex post=32553746][font=Lucida Sans Unicode]After seeing the thread about the one chance taxi driver that was caught, I’m sharing a similar experience I had in 2012.


It was on a Saturday afternoon, I boarded a taxi at AYA Abuja, my intention was to alight at Naomi plaza/park (A mini-zoo) but I wasn’t familiar with the place, my friends only told me it’s about #60 to #70 from AYA.


For those who had similar experience, you’ll rememeber that, it’s usually four people in the cab before you get in. i.e the driver, a passenger beside him, and two other passengers behind. Then the victim becomes the fifth/last passenger.

In my own case, there was a man (in white) sitting next to the driver, a dirty looking youth (the "invisible dollar" owner), and a woman (should be in her late-30’s).

I was so comfortable seeing a woman, especially being an elderly woman, I knew I wasn’t in the midst of men alone. Little did I know that comfort would disappear in few minutes


My mistake was telling the driver I don’t know the park (I don’t really see it as a mistake tho, cos I believe it’s a good thing to ask questions when you’re not clear)


The driver and his crew took advantage of that fact, and just about a minute to get to the park, they started their usual story of dollars.

The dirty guy said he wanted to alight, and told the driver to open the trunk so he could take his “Ghana must go” the driver paused and asked the boy if truly he is the owner of the bags, the boy said yes, and "Boom" the whole arguement started.

(Oh before that day, I only hear of one chance, never heard the full gist from anyone, so I was still enjoying the conversation)

The driver asked how can such a young boy be going about with 100 thousand dollars, ghen ghen, that’s when my eyes opened. I was like 100 thousand dollar in this car? Okay na. Bring it on. (How did the driver get to know the actual amount? I asked myself) Just when I asked myself that question, the woman asked the driver how he got to know the exact amount, then he said, its written on the bags (Kai, they were tryna sell me)


The boy kept begging and crying, defending himself with some fake stories, how he served his boss in kano for 10years and he wasn’t paid well, now the Boss is dead, and he entered one of his rooms, and saw 10 bags filled with dollars, then he carried three of the bags cos he was in a hurry (I was like, if you were not rushing you’d have carried more? Greed!!! And how can you possibly carry 3 bags filled with dollars from kano, and it wasn’t noticed by anyone? All this questions in my mind tho )


The driver still kept saying no, that he has to take him to the police station, all this while I was still mute and my own concern was for him to tell me when we get to the park.

Then the woman started begging saying she has a son like him at home and wouldn’t pray for such a boy to go to jail, the man at the front was still quiet and dint even interfere, he was just looking at his watch. The driver finally said, since the woman has begged, then maybe we should go to a place(his mechanic’s place) to share the money huhh That’s when I knew it was real now, and not an illusion.


I couldn’t pick my calls, I was scared. The driver asked everyone in the car, and they all said they were comfortable with the sharing. They already started discussing who takes the larger part, as the driver kept driving. Then he asked why I haven’t said anything, I was like (oh, I’m not concentrating on their discussion, that I just want to get to the park cos I got people waiting for me) he said okay, that we were almost there (we already passed the place ooo, and I dint know) but that shey I’ll still follow them to have a share ba? I said No. He asked why? I dint reply.


It dawned on me, that we’ve gone too far for such a journey to be #70 Naira like my friends told me. I started crying like a baby inwardly, but I was as bold as a giant outwardly. I told the driver to stop, he asked why, I said I’m not going to the park again, that it’s too far, and I needed to get back home on time. He said he’s not going to stop that he’s suspecting I'm an SSS agent and I might arrest them for knowing their plans about sharing the money. (Even if I’m an SSS agent/police, how can I arrest all of you at same time *in my mind*).

I was calm, dint wanna raise my voice, since I already knew what they were capable of doing. I just kept saying I’m not ready to share any dollar, (I could hear my heart beat, but I was still bold)

All of a sudden the driver stopped, he was about asking me a question ("You mean sey you no wan go share this money"?) as I opened the door, and stepped out. He asked for his money and I gave him 100Naira, (I wasn't bothered about the change), he said No, it’s #250, that we already passed Naomi park since. (Something I already knew)

I didn’t argue, I gave him another #100. Walked away, and the quiet devil at the front started talking and cursing his entire generation (not mine) the woman also joined. The driver called me all sort of names, and said “Na God save you” then zoomed off. (I said before nko, Only God could save me na)

I was on the lonely road, (still afraid, and looking right, left, front and back at same time ) I crossed to the other lane, and a cab stopped, he didn’t even ask what I was doing there, he just said “You don enter their hand abi”? I was surprised.

He offered to help me back to the park and while we were going he was gisting me about those people, saying when you insist on sharing the money with them, they either take you to a quiet place and rob you of everything you’ve got/unclad you, or they use someone for money rituals. He said they usually do the latter. And that they make use of charm/juju. Hmmmm

I got to the Park safe, tho was still in shock, I thanked the driver and alighted. He didn’t even collect a dime. God bless him wherever he is.

Oh, if I was greedy and decided to go with them to see/share their invisible dollars probably I won’t be here sharing this.

A friend told me, even if she feels the dollar is not there, she’d still go with them to be 100% sure. Hmmmm okay

Nairalanders, One chance is real. It's a day I can't forget too easily. I kept wondering what would have happened to me if the driver didn't stop or if their juju had worked.

I hope someone learns from this. Be careful and vigilant. I learnt they've got new strategies they use to get at their victims, but I pray they don't succeed as much as they try to.

In all, I give thanks to God!!!


cc: DragonKing

there you go

Thank God for saving your life. They are also in ondo state.

iwant2beheard:
I sincerely thank God for my life! I thank God for my mum's life!

My mum insisted I took her to the hospital, she had a hard time yesterday having her good night sleep (as her BP has been on the high), I had to take permission off work in order to take her...

Our mission was to go to general hospital (at ikorodu, opp high court), we left home at about 11.30 am.

We were coming from ebute (I stay at alogba estate), as we passed the mobil filling station and about climbing the hill towards general hospital, I noticed a big truck coming with full speed with its back, I immediately swerved to the on coming car's lane (fortunately there was no car coming), somehow, the truck swerved in that direction and all I could hear was a loud GBOA!!!, my mum was trapped at the driver seat and was in a serious shock, I ran down (instinctively) to start waving all the cars down(so as not to hit my precious mum. It created a big traffic but alas, the police came to take the cars to one side.

Bottom line is, I am safe, and so is my mum, no injuries (except minor scratches), we thank the lord!

Thank God for your Life,You will live to declare the goodness of God in the land of the living , Ά̲̣̣̣̥:::::::м̤̣̲̣̥̈̇::::::ε̲̣̣̣̥:::::::N̤̥̈̊.

We were refused Visa on Tuesday july 2ND 2014.
Sir/ma, I need your help and Advise. the issue goes thus:
My wife is one of the DV 2014 winner, she has a friend during her National youth services corp (NYSC)which have her details. After the service she lost contact with her until sometime in August 2013 when her friend called her on phone to broke the news to her that she won Visa Lottery to America, we were all surprise with the Good news,But she played it as a single because she did not aware that my wife got married Sept 2012, because of that she don't want to come to the embassy and lie or to manipulate document that she's single, that's why she decided to fill the form for me and my Daughter as a beneficiary.
Now can we appeal our case,if she can get the visa as a single and later file for us so this opportunity will not be lost because we love to be in America.
Please, What can we do?
GOD BLESS YOU,GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Pls let us all keep united prayers burning cos this is the reason we're all having a successful interview. God usually showers is blessings in any gather where there's unity in their prayers. Let keep the vision of prayer burning in this 2014...It can only be God

HE knows everything about us,
Yes it can only be GOD.

I thank ALLAH for making a way for me and my family last year,Al-hamdullilai for we are still a living soul,Al-hamdullilai for the uncountable favour you will still grant us this year(our visa will be APPROVE,safe trip to the state and everything will work for good for us all in the land,so it shall be.Aamin.

exteababa: 1. i will advice u not to carry any food at all, cos of immigration checks, not only at lagos but at your point of entry, most white folks dont know anything about our african food, and i bet u dont want any wahala....and most of these foods are here in african stores. there garri, dried fish, poundo, anytn u want. save yourself of immigration trouble and heavy luggage .
2. its winter already and its very cold, so get your boot, winter jacket, head warmer as jjc u can get gloves too cos u dont want to get sick atall, medical bills here is just too high. get thick long socks too. ALSO expect cold in your aircraft
3. career in USA, number 1 is any course thats medical 2. IT courses 3. Engineering, then others follow..........
4. driving procedure, i you have naija DL go with it, it may save you some money and test. if not your host will direct you to a DDS office where u will get your manual free, before you can do a road test u will need your SSN and state ID ( requirements vary from state to state) and immigration documents. you will do a computer test first then if u pass u will do a road test.
5. my dad is my host so am at home. but 1 thing about hosts is, here in USA, everybody bears his/her cross. so over dependence on a host can lead to 'throw out'. you can assist in paying some lil bills such as water, cable, electricity........etc, based on your capacity. but be smart, the more money u put down the more you host may depend on you too.
6.flight booking. i did direct flight with delta airlines and it was just smooth. remember to keep your brown envelop in u hand luggage, bring it out at your point of entry so they can know your 'special immigrant' and give you due service
last advice. be ready to come to USA only when u are ready, i.e be ready to study immediately you land or be ready to work, no room for 'iranu'
WELCOME TO AMERICA!

Thanks Bro.More greece to your elbow.
My cousin is a paramilitary officer and he as gone through some military training in here in Nigeria,is also one of the 2014 Dv winner , so is interested in working over there as Navy or military officer but His concern now is that is 35years old. He needs advice. from you and other experienced people living in the state.
Happy New year in Advance .

dixon4u: Please forumites, how long does it take to get ones visa package after interview? i was told it is after 5 working days. i had my succesful interview on the 18th of this month and i'm yet to receive any info from GSS.

Good day my brother, You are right pick up of package is 5 working day. I think the V.O must have told you on the interview's day where to pick up your Visa package,may be because of the holiday you experience delay. otherwise if there still delay on or before first week January 2014 please contact LagosIV@state.gov
Hope it helps.
