Nigerian graduates face several obstacles in the labour market, ranging from the scarcity of jobs to the authenticity of job vacancies. Another obstacle is the issue of misleading job titles, which sugarcoat a job vacancy, as in the case of Andrew, whose job interview for a position in ARM Life Plc, wasn't what he expected (read below).

Successful Application Text Message

I was thrilled to have received a text from ARM Life Plc stating that I was successful:

Sequel to your application, you are hereby invited for an interview on Tues. 16/8/16 by 10a.m @95b Opebi Road, Off Sheraton Link Bridge, Ikeja. ARM. Ifunanya

However, I was skeptical of the authenticity of the text message as I had made hundreds of applications, and couldn't seem to remember applying to ARM Life. Subsequently, I searched my email and found an application I sent few weeks prior; it was an application for a Financial Advisor position.

I was happy, but on reading the job description, it sounded like a glorified marketing position. I remembered the Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc interview I skipped because I learnt from Nairaland that it was a marketing position which pays only on commission basis.

However, I was determined to attend the interview, as I had nothing to lose. I ended up preparing for the interview the day prior to the interview date.

The interview

The interview was scheduled for 10 a.m, and I arrived the company reception at 9:46 a.m. I was greeted by the receptionist, and was to told to sign the visitors register, and I was directed to a meeting room upstairs. On entering the room, I saw about 26 other candidates waiting in the room, and I took a seat at the back.

While waiting, I was interacting with some young men who I met at the meeting room, and there was speculation as to what sort of job it was. This question was answered when a candidate asked an ARM Life staff, and was told it was a marketing role. I decided to stay on and see for myself as I had already made the journey to the venue. This was not the case for the candidate who asked the question, as he left the room immediately. Poor guy made up an excuse to the company he worked for just so he could attend that interview, only to be disappointed.

What Pastor Adeboye has said is for us, not for him. He is married and living a good life. You may choose to follow his words or throw them away.

Come to think of it, if you marry a guy or lady who doesnt have a job, by the time children or other responsibilities start trickling in, you will sing a new song.

In the same vein, it is better you marry someone who can pray and whose ways are right with God. If you do, your stress will be reduced, and you will face more important challenges...not flimsy ones.

When we do the right thing, it makes our lives easier. Pastor Adeboye has given his own piece of advice, you may wish to take it or leave it.

Erm, like I wrote, I rather have a woman with a good attitude and one that draws me closer to God, than one that prays for one hour non-stop but has a bad attitude. And don't say stuff about his marriage.. You don't know him personally. That's what people must have said about Pastor Chris' marriage. Now look at him.

MrLankeeee:
What he actually meant was no one should marry a woman that can not pray fervently. Not literally 1hour.

If she lazy nd cannot pray a Christain man shouldn't go for her.

Then he shouldn't have included 'non-stop" if he didn't want it to be translated literally. Look at what Jesus did - He stated that you should forgive your neighbours 77 x 7 times... You can't take that in its literal sense - that is a metaphor unlike that of Pastor E.A.A.

Pastor E.A Adeboye has been trending on social media for a video which recorded him making two statements, "a girl who cannot pray for one hour non-stop, don't marry her" and "don't marry a girl who cannot cook". Some have deemed his message controversial, while others have voiced their support for him, making comments like, "the bible said we should pray without ceasing".

I don't want to make conclusions based on Pastor Adeboye's statements, as they are vague. However, I would like to address the issue from my perspective. In 1 Thes 5: 16-18 (ESV), St. Paul wrote, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you". From my understanding of this passage, Paul meant that a person should rely on God in all circumstances. If we are to take the passage literally, "praying without ceasing" will mean praying 24/7 and no one can pray 24/7 - I have never heard of someone praying in their sleep.
