Good day Nairalanders.
So I saw a thread that hit front page about ways of getting new jobs and I remembered this my personal experience and decided to share


I remembered applying for work at the federal Inland Revenue service here in Abuja, immediately after my service by the way i studied economics , so names was shortlisted for interview, we wrote the test and out of 15,000 candidates, though exams was scheduled separate days because of number of applicants , 50 was successfull and was short listed boom I checked and my name was number 18, my joy knew no bound, I didn't tell anyone as I wanted to take my people by surprise including my parents and siblings.
after that interview, they invited us for an oral interview.

I attended the interview and after the interview, 35 name was successful, I checked boom my name was number 12 on the list,
After the interview, we where all given breakdown of how the salary was like, omo, I see money tears dropped from my eyes, I was anticipating how to renovate my family house after working like for 6 months and changing my parents car as it was well deserved,

After the interview we where waiting for a mail to confirm our employment letter and posting, after waiting for 2 weeks no news, I went to the headquarters were we did our interview and was reliably informed that new recruit had resume work since, I made further inquiry and I was made to understand that the final interview was done on Sunday, and our names were replaced with people that lobbied,
I shouted, on Sunday, ?? Government work?? And we where never informed and
minimum of 7million naira was used to swap our names with the people that paid.

I find cry, I no see, I was depressed for almost 2 months, my babe will come and see me emantiating by the day as I refuse to eat, this girl will come to my house and cry from Morning till night begging me to eat, chai true love they shaa, love really shark her that year, but I bounced back to my feet and moved on.
And thank God, I am doing well for myself, and I pray that the Lord continues to shower me and everyone that refuse to give up blessings in abundance.

Most times when you see people contemplating suicide on the media, don't use it as a joke, encourage them not to commit suicide if u must comment, because most people vent their frustrations on the media waiting for validation, and believe me they do take anything said to them to heart 100%, unlike other people out there, I never contemplated suicide because I know I have got a thick skin and can survive the street, one of the advantages of being street smart, e never get wetin eye never see, so trolling and name calling and shaming on the internet don't move people like me, learn how to develop a thick skin in every situation like this. Most importantly don't ever wait for media validation in your personal life, what the media says don't mean nothing and won't affect you in anyway, know this and know peace

I hope someone learned one or two things from my story.

Those who paid to take your position have inadvertently taken all your pain, sorrow, early death and frequent sicknesses in life, God will surely give you a better song in due course

Someone with my kind of beer belly cannot can inside this place o.If your wife pregnant na wahala.....emergency evacuation in a fire will leave all the occupants dead as no one will want to wait for another

They will still pay N2000 in some places (I no mention name o), they are trying as much as possible to discourage access to education in the south

RIP legend, may God almighty forgive you of all your shortcomings..amen

Very soon, even for a Nigerian to enter Ghana, you will need a good conduct certificate, bunch of idiots

Some people go still fail they cannot even discuss anything that happened yesterday or this morning

Spark2:
Do you know anyone with similar issue?

I did my Biometrics and my dashboard shows it was successful. Infact, I still have the congratulatory message on my dashboard. Now they've deployed everyone I know and mine is still reading not deployed.
I've called them several times and all they say is that deployment is still ongoing. I'm tired and exhausted...

What can I do pls?

I belong to thr graduate category

It's an antique, and not the everyday phone.......Only people who know will want it, so scram

colestephan86:
Ok
Snap the label too, I don't want made in china. I think some are made in Hungary or Finland , those are the ones I want.
Snap all parts and does it have it's charger. And are you in computer village?

Here's the phone(s), so what'd say

Alex giving awards to Alex and Alex receiving an award from Alex; from one unknown Papyrus magazine

Sell the android phone in your hand and use the money to start bottle water hawking in traffic if in Lagos... In a week, that should double the money

Ray07:
Did you even bother to read it at all.

All the people screaming we have big big trees here and there, una think say those people mumu anbi them no research before them conclude on such.

If we the talk of trees, Nigeria no even reach Cameron talk less more of North America.

Amazon forest is kingdom of nature.

Read what I wrote and digest it, where's the Amazon forest?, Ode, Ido

colestephan86:
Are you sure, I don't want chiina
The original one with good battery.

I will snap and send the picture here tomorrow in the office. If you're serious.

Hello everyone,
Was wondering if it's still possible to get any of these cell phones.
I know it might be impossible to get it brand new but will make do with well functioning UK used

I get the first one, clean one for sale 15k

Just say tallest trees in North America and not the world... there are many very big and tall trees in the African and South American mangrove forests

Use Twitter and reach out to Harrison Gwamishu.... I hope something can be done here....

That's the subjective profiling of the youth that led to the Endsars agitation.... The way you dress shouldn't be a reason for unnecessary harassment IMHO

Me, I go just submit my paper say; na answer wey you no fit mark I wan dey submit now

No respect for elders, all the mkpurumiri sniffing gunmen

Except it's one of those picture lockers, your pictures are safe

Another frontier for Operation python dance

If I was the guy sacked by GIGM, I would've sued their smelly ass by the billions; how's my life outside of work supposed to influence their action(s)/Inaction(s) against me....After winning the court case then, I'd use the money to mess you up real good

Nice one from the woman-looking IGP with Ikebe

How much is involved; this will guide my advice to you over this as it might cost you some money. Most of the POS operators are thieves......especially in some areas

Recently, I avoided running over a kid of about 3years close to my house on the mainland.

The parents were in the front gisting away unconcerned and left two kids at the back without the child lock activated.

The playful kids unlocked the door and one of them fell out of the SUV right in my path. Thank God I was not on appreciable speed, I would have run over a part of his body.

I swerved and ended up taking a hit from the suddenly opened door on my headlamp and a major scratch from the door on my car body.

I was thankful despite not being wrong and the man could only say, let's go to the panel beater; I gave the couple a tongue-lash before leaving the scene.

Come to think of it, had it been I ran over the child, Nigerian Police will rather persecute me than charge the parents for endangering a minor.

All I could say at the end was, thank God for his mercies

Most of the highway drivers do not even know how to read the signs....the most basic which is the speed limit is never observed; you see them running more than 120km/hr on their already threaded tires most times

Icouldhave:
Lies.


I don't do bad.

Neither do I do evil.


I just want to be the one running everything in my family or any place I find myself.


I want to be the number one guy.


I want to be the giver always

All you listed as your attributes are those things that have led the world to where it is now, Yorubas call it anikanjopon (innate selfishness) and this breeds wickedness just like someone already told you.... This sort of thinking and selfish way of life is the reason for wicked politicians, police, lecturers, uncle's etc

Nice gesture, I hope the same gesture will be extended to the other gallant rank and file soldiers..... This is Nigeria, where one life is considered valuable/better than another

Na still your brothers dey bring up disqualification suit where there is none......this region sha

What an irony.........Coca Cola MD sips Pepsi Cola on his birthday
