This is absolutely true. Although I have to say that it isn't only in finance that these questions apply. I got asked these same set of Qs (some slight variations) and my work isn't related to finance/banking. Let me add some I remember.

How did you know about us?
Of all the establishments in this field, why did you chose us?

I just read another thread where someone was asking about an interview invite at Ng call centre at this same address and most of the commenters said it was a scam. I'd post the thread for you but I don't know how to do it.

This picture reminds me strongly of Rihanna's video - we found love.

But I like the space bookers! They make really funny comments about their space, why they're booking it etc. Then come back to dedicate the space to their family, going as far back as ancestors

The E-nsulters are just exhausting. They derail threads too oh.

I think there's another class though. The ones whose posts/threads are completely unintelligible. Too many abbreviations or "textspeak" and it's clear they don't evn know how to string a simple sentence typing most words in full.

Lol. I've been in your shoes before, but in my case, I liked my boss and didn't want to leave her in the lurch.

I got a replacement for myself, apologised profusely to her (she'd been really kind to me and I didn't want to offend her, but a better offer is a better offer) and lied that I actually applied for the new job BEFORE I joined her establishment but the company didn't get back to me until now and they need me to resume asap.

I no wan talk much abeg, all i get is more negative remarks from my dad. No matter how hard i try, he neva appreciates. He insults my future generations wen i make mistakes. At a point i felt like commiting suicide. Asin if not for GOD`s intervention, i would hv been long gone.

It's easy to judge your dad from this post, but I often maintain that there's no smoke without fire.
Are you a son to be proud of? No offense, just trying to see things from both sides.
What do you do that irritates him so often? Have you honestly tried to correct these faults?
I do understand how it feels to have a father who criticises your every move, but you have to be strong, and do the right things, make something of yourself and the praise will come from him without your prompting.

Jesu! Her back probably hurts like crazy. Her lover must be an extra strong man. Dealing with this can't be easy.

mediachirps:
Nice. Are you married yet?

My sentiments exactly.

milychocs:
I do not mean to be all up in your business,
But I feel you just insulted thousands, (no maybe more than that) who are cleaners...
I do not understand, is anything wrong with them?

Your post..........hmmmm
Every woman deserves to be fallen for
You make it seem they are somehow undeserving of love just because they are in "lowly" jobs
Kinda uncool sha

I agree with all you said, and I certainly didn't mean it the way a lot of people seem to be taking it. I would have modified the post to make it clearer, but people seemed to be enjoying the insults they spend minutes typing, so I let them have their fun.

No, nothing is wrong with being a cleaner. I'm just saying, that in this day and age when women are really proactive about their lives, cleaning is left mostly to young girls who are trying to gain admission or are students already trying to support their parents. OR older women who already have families to cater for. There are different circumstances though, which I'm very aware of, that make smart women stoop to conquer.
But, a 26 year old who's a cleaner? Let's remember that banks hire cleaning outfits, not the cleaners themselves so whatever the bank pays is already slashed in half before it gets to the cleaner that does all the work. How much does she get at the end of the month? Is it worth running errands for her mates who are tellers or customer service officers?

I have a neighbor who's always after me to fix my nails or make beads and although it isn't my style, I do it from time to time to encourage her. She's gathered enough money to include sale of weaves into her trade. She could very easily get a cleaning job too.

There are rude female doctors, pharmacists, tailors (esp the good ones with high patronage) Nepa officials, office assistants etc.
Saying It ws unfair, I was feeling sorry for the banker. Everyone has some good in their hearts and want the opportunity to live someone and be loved back. It's only normal to have your specs in mind.
Thanks for bring polite about countering my opinion.

Melahou:
so many kids on NAIRALAND this days...
Please seun create kids section

Yes. Please! Seeing threads like this dey tire me.

heryettymama:
There is a Frnd dat needs help,
She said her boyfrnd release on her virgina nd she. Is afraid of getting pregnant, note d Girl is still a virgin.

Madam, tell your "friend" to go to a nearby pharmacy (not a chemist or a medicine vendor) and ask for their pharmacist. Explain the details to him and he'll tell you what you need to take if any and how to shag safely in the future if you must.

Zedric:
So being a cleaner means the banker is better off? Maybe guys should stay away with babes with Ur way of reasoning

*sigh* Look, men and women have certain standards. The kind of man who would willingly choose a cleaner, thinks of himself as being happy with her choice of work/person. There are certain jobs people choose because of a lack of choice. The average university graduate in Nigeria would go for teaching rather than cleaning, for instance.
There's no way to equate a cleaner with a banker, unless the person cleans Jonathan's room in Aso rock or runs a professional cleaning outfit.

mzhorlah:
Bags
A wonderful perfume
A nice Wristwatch

Clothes, CDs of musicians she likes, jewelry, iPad or other tablets, or a really fancy phone. Girls like to show off pretty stuff they have, and especially love saying "oh this dress? Wale got it for me" to people who don't evn know that her boyfriend's name is Wale sef.

Wale112:
Girls/guy in the house my girl said am not caring so I really want to start showing her how much I love her, so to the girls what kind of gift do you appreciate? Expensive, not very expensive, not expensive?
Also to the guys what gift them gals that make them go gaga. Waiting huh?

freshdude2:
Tell her she's the cause of her son's dullness. The boy needs to explore and understand his environment to be intelligent, she's killing his brain by restriction and overload.

Exactly.

NO, you haven't been reasoning this the wrong way. This is so unfair to children and I equate it with having little girls fix weavons or braids. Not every child will win prizes, and certainly not every child will blaze trails that early in life.

slimyem:
I was shocked this last weekend while visiting a friend with a 3 year old son and she was telling how she's employed a private tutor for her child.
He comes around 4 times a week to tutor him.That's after this poor child must have been in school for more than 7 hours of the same day.
Shouldn't what a child this age learns from 8a.m-2p.m for 5days a week be just enough? . . . Maybe I've been thinking wrong.

Bloody unfair. But I don't suppose they'll be interested in the type of men who would go after a cleaner. I don't mean that as an insult, to either profession, but these are two different kinds of women.

Caracta,
You seem to be the one in charge so I'm directing this post to you.
You've done so much already, God bless you very much. I found the Dr's email online from comments he posted on a website - oluyombo2@yahoo.co.uk. I thought we could email him to see how Djdola's doing?

tunapa2009:
The hospital is in Eruwa(not too far from Abeokuta).. I will try to update you tomorrow because he promised to visit him 2mao morning...

Let's us continue to pray for him(from Eruwa to Ibadan is more 3hours).....

No sir, it's an hour, hour and half, tops.

Hello everyone,
This thread has encouraged me so much. There are good people in this country. Marcjane, Caracta, God bless you for the effort. Everyone that has sent something, God bless you.

That said, I have been to Awojobi Hospital in Eruwa before and I'm certain it's a waste of time. It's a one man show, and is filled (believe me, the crowd is unbelievable, you find patient relatives lying around, under trees for days etc) with people who have more faith in that man than in proven science. It felt like something out of a book about healthcare in the 1920s. The only doctor in the whole of that place is the owner - Dr. Awojobi. He doesn't even have corper doctors.
FYI: Eruwa is in Oyo State, about an hour from Ibadan if one goes via Eleyele. It's a bit longer and the road is worse if one goes through the other road that's between Ibadan and Abeokuta. There's a Polytechnic, Ibadan satellite campus not far from the hospital.

If he won't go to UCH, I would recommend Babcock University Teaching Hospital in Ilisan Remo. It's more expensive, but he will get what he needs. They may (not sure about this) transport him to UCH if they can't deal with a transplant themselves, or get the required personnel to their hospital to do it.
I know tertiary hospitals in the southwest, and if the need arose (God forbid) I'd rather they handle things for me as their patient.

Frivolity. Iranu.

Ah ahn? This is serious oh!

It's the kind of girls you meet!

Trut:
I am writing base on several experience. You meet a girl today, you call her later in the day to say Hi, after the conversation, she will ask for recharge card.

Biko, if it's a smart girl who carries a conversation nicely and the guy is enjoying it, should he hang up?

edozie04:
Evn sef guys @times no dy try,how would u be calling a girl for the first time for 8minsY she no go ask?

Men ehn, I tire. I'm sure you've all met girls who[b]didn't[/b] ask for recharge card but all we hear/read is how you meet girls who start requesting things the second you say hello.

2legit2qwt:
The reality is starting to sink in, I'm never gonna achieve my goal of staying young forever. With that in mind, I've decided it's time to cross some things off my to-do list as i approach a milestone in my life.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys ever keep a list of things you'll like to do before you reach certain age or die? A bucket list sorta thing? What are they?

Take a trip to the cities I read about so often in books. Venice, number one!

ClintonNzedimma:
Have you ever had a conversation with your friend about a nairaland thread you saw on front page and your friend will be like "Who takes that website seriously?" or "That lie lie website" or "You have come again" and so on.
Its so embarrassing.
Some of my friends even mock me.
Any nairalander with similar experience?

Certainly not. I have/get a different opinion from the people I discuss NL with.
Asides the insults and childish behaviour of some users, NL is a great forum.
Very useful information on almost ANY thing you want to know, good people who have intelligent conversations etc

kennygee:
That you are in the friendzone.

Trust me, if she truly wanted an opinion on her bra, she would definitely not be asking you, a guy.
That's an invitation if I've ever heard one. The fact that she had to resort to such method means that you've been ignoring other signs and she decided that a desperate situation required a desperate measure.

But if you were friendzoned as suggested, forklift sef no fit comot you from dere oh.

velly001:
buhari?

I fink it high time we stopped lookin @ or following this over aged politicians who dont wanna give space for younger generation. . .

I agree. But I'm yet to see a suitable young person who's a better candidate than Buhari. His political history is somewhat warped, but having tasted GEJ's tenure? I'd rather have him.
Now, if someone like Fashola were to run, I'd have a different opinion about this.

I really don't see why I'd like to look at a video of myself doing "that". But I suppose if my husband (not just a silly boyfriend who's getting ideas) really wants it, fine. Don't blame me if the memory card(or wherever the video is stored) mistakenly gets damaged the next day.

Buhari. It's time we had a MAN on that seat.

I don try.

Tell him you have back pain and you've been given a physiotherapy appointment in LUTH or LASUTH (choose one). This works, because everyone knows Gov hospitals and their way. You have to show up on time to see your therapist, also, you can be given an appointment every week sef, till you "feel better".

Witchcraft, at the moment, is when my nkwobi pot is actually a shallow wooden something with mostly onions in it! God forgive these people oh.

Story. It'll still happen anyway.
