This is the mentalliy of the rich. They can never help push one up tthere, because they feel threatened that one could measure up to them or outshine them. So sad.

doggedfighter:
Nigeria where one man can be richer than states


Not because he works harder than others but

because he knows how to corner and keep what's meant forthe whole community for himself and his own ,
even when he doesn't really need it.


All because they enjoy being the only light that shines.
Sad.

Reason History, as a subject has been rendered unpopular/useless in secondary schools, so that the next generations will not have an inkling of their abominations.

Aystarz:
The most inept government in the country's history. When future generations study about the generations of administrations that brought Nigeria on her knees, BUHARI and his APC would be on the frontcover of that textbook.

Very ignorant bunch of leaders. This two- week pronouncement is a clear revelation that their cluelessness is beyond redemption.

Please, where is the location?

You funny die oo lol . You ain't serious, are you? Lol

Loooool this ' pastor of doom funny die! I blame the women's gullibility and stupidity . At this time and age, how could they have fallen so cheaply for such see- through scam of a fake pastor from hell! Hian!!

You would have helped if you really wanted to, irrespective of popular opinion of ingratitude on the part of help recipients. I truly understand your point, because it once happened to me. I helped a random lady who stopped me on my way home from work and asked how her cousin could get a teaching job. I gave her all the necessary answers and even linked her to my office for C V. submission and all.Long story short, she happened to be the so called cousin that needed and got the job, all through my influence. Barely a few months into the job, she turned an enemy. Hmmm...she ended up leaving the job out of frustration on the long run, due to an endless guilt.

Seriously, I thought he was an irredeemable slowpoke oo.Lol

Duru9:
Oh so this dude isn't imbe

Congratulations sir
I wish you a happy married life


Though marriage na scam

No be small irritation. Very appalling.

boyjo:
She is calmer.

That tongue pics is so irritating.
That should not be forappallin public view.

Good a thing it's your own spec, because not all women fancy crude or bad boys!

These species are forever unrepentant.

Now for you to know these guys are hardcore criminals, see my statement below.

--This guy Emmanuel Chukwuebuka Ifeanyichukwu hails from Ezioko in Orumba North Local Council of Anambra State.

--The guy was nabbed in 2015 by NDLEA when he ingested 1.293kg of substances that tested positive for cocaine. He was to depart Enugu to Istanbul through Addis Ababa on an Ethiopian Airline flight. His reason for trafficking in drugs was to raise more money for his business. He was a secondary school dropout then in 2015, and would have received 3,000 dollars on arrival in Turkey if he had succeeded then. He is married with a child.

https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/metro/ndlea-arrests-tricycle-rider-others-over-drug-peddling/

--Probably the corrupt NDLEA freed him

--Now he is arrested in Pakistan in 2020 again on the same crime of cocaine

My verdict, they should use hammer to flatten his head. That is the only way to pay for his crime!

Funny you... You sure cracking me up. Lol .

But because it was made by Ghanaians, suddenly you remember it is not looking how you want it to be

FunkyAlhaji2015:

So what's really ur point? Are u attacking my suggestion or undermining it? I gave a befitting suggestion based on my line of thought on the OP's post which I'm duly entitled to as a member of this forum. Therefore, if u've got any contrary opinion, then u should channel it to the OP & not my post!

Ferdinandu:
Job security, job security on less than 60k per month at the moment, probably no hope of up to 100%increase in the next 15yrs.Too much fear of the unknown is the reason why so many people are poor for life. Why won't he take the job learn on the job and plan towards establishing his own company.

U welcome.

lonikit:
Thanks so much

The govt.job will be yours & yours only, but your uncle's business is his & his only and you'll only be a caretaker there. If he's not pleased by you, he could fire you at any time & there's no job security in a business u're managing for someone. Therefore, take the govt.job where u won't be threatened by job insecurity. And u could run your uncle's biz simultaneously with your govt. Job.

Great write-up! Very analytical & on point! I think the problem is from the elementary foundation. If one has a solid primary & secondary educational foundation, it gives one a strong edge over others. The university/polytechnic won't teach u basic writing skills or basic /proper sentence constructions,this is done only in primary & post primary schools. As a matter of intervention, our educational sector needs a thorough overhaul.

The Interview

Each time I conduct interviews, I usually end up shaking my head and lamenting about the state of education in Nigeria. Our tertiary institutions are churning out graduates who are mainly unemployable. Earlier today, I interviewed almost 50 candidates and by the end of the whole session, the only conclusion I could arrive at was that we have a BIG problem.

In one particular instance, I was alarmed when I read the CV of a particular female graduate of one of the Universities in the South West. It was full of outlandish errors and so I asked her to spell a few words. She spelt the word 'redeemed' wrongly four times before she got it right the fifth time. On her CV, she described herself as one of the officials of the church fellowship when she was an undergraduate but she wrote the name of the church wrongly. She couldn't spell the word 'corper' despite trying more than five times. Yet, during her national service, she taught pupils at a school. I underlined about 10 grammatical errors on her CV and showed them to her. She couldn't even determine where to use apostrophe s.

A particular candidate couldn't speak a whole sentence without committing serious blunders. Even when I repeated those errors while thinking he would correct himself, he repeated the blunders again. Another candidate found it difficult explaining what he studied in school. Some have not developed themselves in any way since they graduated. I had to spend some time to talk to a lady who had her Ordinary National Diploma fifteen years ago but had not done anything to improve herself since then. When she mentioned the issue of paucity of funds, I pointed at her designer bag and her well braided hair as evidence that fund was not the problem.

I asked a female candidate what her aspirations were if money was not a restraining factor. Her answer left all of us on the interview panel with mouths wide open. "I want to live large and live big", she told us. One of the candidates told us he studied 'BSc Economics'. He made the mistake thrice until I corrected him that he studied Economics and not BSc Economics. A fellow was asked to introduce himself and he started with 'My names are...'. I asked him how many people he's introducing. Even when I tried to correct him, he insisted he was correct so I gave up on him.

On one occasion, I asked a female candidate what her husband does. She replied, 'I'm sorry but he's a driver'. I asked her why she was sorry about the legitimate job that her husband does. I told her that the job of her husband does not define who he is. His job is simply a job. I told her I also drove a cab before. I spent the longest time with her as I wanted her mind to be disinfected of the low self-esteem she seemed to carry. I played the video of Femi Ogedengbe, the Nollywood actor turned security guard in the United States and encouraged her to be proud of her husband. Interestingly, the husband is a graduate and I've asked her to give me her husband's CV. She almost broke down in tears when I told her I'd rather hire her husband than her. She knelt and apologized before she left my office.

A few guys had the labels of their suit on their sleeves- at least three of them that I recall. When I asked why the labels were not removed, they grinned sheepishly. One of them told me that is the current trend. When that same guy sat down, I observed that he wore ankle socks with a significant part of his legs showing bare skin. One candidate was particularly striking for his naivety. He came in shaking and stammered while introducing himself. He could barely string a sentence together. When I tried to make him comfortable by asking him to take a deep breath, he answered by saying, "I don't know why I'm like this today. This is actually my first interview". He just finished his national service and anxiety was written all over him.

I made two major observations during the interview session today:

1. Candidates who engaged in extracurricular activities while in school turned out better. There was a lady who was a member of SIFE- Students In Free Enterprise- while she was on campus and she was one of the bright spots. There was another fellow that represented his University at a competition outside Nigeria. He was also outstanding. Likewise, a lady who was Vice President of her Students Union while she was an undergraduate. She demonstrated so much confidence during the interview.

2. Candidates that went to private universities performed better generally. There must be something the private universities are getting right as their graduates communicated better. They demonstrated a far more superior level of intelligence. I was disappointed by the performance of most graduates of mainstream universities and polytechnics. One could almost guess whether a candidate attended a private university just by listening to them.

If you're preparing for an interview, it's in your best interest to do some research about the company you want to work with if you know the company. Google is your friend. Work on your communication skills. You should be able to talk about yourself very clearly and also describe what you have done before-if you're an experienced hire. Your body language is critical- no fidgeting and no show of anxiety. All of us have butterflies in our stomach when we face strange people on an interview panel but with a smile on your face, no one will ever know. A lady cracked her knuckles throughout the interview today. It's very irritating but also shows she was nervous. Your posture is important. Dont slouch on the chair. Sit straight with your back on the chair and your legs together.

Mind your language while being interviewed. It's better to be brief than to be unnecessarily verbose. By talking too much at times, you demonstrate that you know so little. Pronounce words well. It can take some practice but stand in front of a mirror and rehearse until you get better. Be ready to defend your certificate. Demonstrate that you actually earned your degree. Maintain eye contacts. That shows your level of confidence. Good grooming is key to your success. No matter the current fad, it's safer to be conservative in your dressing. Dark coloured suits are best for interviews. Stay with white or blue shirts for men. You can never go wrong with them. You must have a great sense of colour to want to try very bright colours. It's either it turns out so good or you turn out like a magician's apprentice. Ladies have the latitude to try out more colours but the simpler, the better. Pay attention to your hair and hand bag. Synchronize your colours properly. Avoid loud jewelleries. Look your best as the book is often judged by the cover during interviews. Your appearance is what we see first before we hear what you have to say.

We need to declare a state of emergency in our education sector and even start to teach intending graduates certain life skills. Nigerian graduates will not be able to compete with their African counterparts in a few years at this rate.

Na wa oo! This tory get as e be oo!

Wow! U just spoke my mind!!

DavidEsq:
I have the impression that OP doesn't need the kinda help suggested to him. This is because every option suggested to him is rejected by him. I doubt if he would reject the option of fund raising for him. This should make one wary of him. Wat exactly is he asking? Just FP or something implied?

The working conditions should be stated in the appointment letter. Were u not given one? If the holiday work/duty isn't stated in your offer letter, then u could question it. Better still, if you lay your hands on a better job, simply quit. But if u comfortable with this one,just man up & endure its inconveniences.

Lol

chinchonglee:
Hw is she d one catering for u wen u earn 60k monthly..

Wetin u dey use ur 60k do?


Wen i said i rather remain single for life dan get married wit a 60k income u pple thought i woz joking baa.

Hanty rapunum aka biko.

I don't have time for old cargoes like you, biko.

Lol such a long speech over a minute issue. And was that a subtle threat? By saying ' you don't know what's coming next from me"? Mr Man, save ur energy for better or challenging arguments. Ok bye! [size=8pt][/size]

bluefilm:
You see how I have succeeded in confusing you?

Now, you are nowhere near the answer you were seeking for when you busted into my mention in the first place with your pointless question which was totally uncalled for.

In fact, you can't even remember how we got to this level.

You are now in the attack mode and you don't even know what might come next from me.

Wow, isn't that wonderful?

My answer to you: Men and women are not equal.

I use logic. You use emotion.

Unfortunately for you, emotion can never win against logic anywhere in the world.

So just pipe down.

And...

Greet your daddy for me.

An who the hell are u to ask me such a stupid & uncalled for question? Or have u forgotten who your father is and want to use my response to console yourself? Abeg pack well!

bluefilm:
Who's yourself?

I'm asking you to tell me, you are asking me to ask yourself?

Or does it mean you don't really know who your daddy is?

Ask yourself!

bluefilm:
Who's your daddy?

And it pities men right?

bluefilm:
Chai.

Age can never pity women.

Even the girl celebrating her mama don dey old kwa.

O di egwu o.
