Supreme145:
After sending loads of applications for remote web dev positions throughout December without success I stopped applying and went into blockchain development. Last week I was replying a message on my LinkedIn account when I saw this jnr WordPress developer vacancy that popped up. I just applied since it takes less than a minute to do so on LinkedIn.

I was surprised when they sent me a mail two days later with a link to an assessment which I took and submitted. They got back to me some days later to fix an interview date, I choose Feb 9 among the listed options. The time options included 7pm, 7:15pm and 7:30pm and I chose the 1st option. The interview was supposed to last for just 15 minutes.

I left Chelsea's match that I was watching at half time to prepare for my interview. I asked one of my Nairaland friends for data and he sent me 3gb, I was all set up by 6:44 pm with a Bluetooth that I borrowed from a friend for the occasion. I didn't want any stories. If only I knew what was lying in wait for me....6:52 pm.....Boom!!! NEPA took light.

My laptop was fully charged but knowing fully well that my battery was not trustworthy, it would last 2 hours when it's in a good mood and 5 minutes on it's angry days. I grabbed my charger and extension and ran off to a nearby restaurant in my area. You think Usian Bolt can run baa? If you see my speed this evening you will like me. It was a combination of Bolt and Ben Johnson. I ran like a criminal that was escaping an angry mob about to lynch him, with the way I was grabbing my PC under my armpit I could easily be mistaken for a thief by the way.

I got there by 6:59 pm, plugged my stuffs and connected to the zoom call by 7: 02 pm, the beautiful oyinbo woman was already waiting. While she was in a well lit apartment, I was in a place with red and blue bulbs with my face barely visible even though I supported the light with my phone torch light flashing straight to my face.

She smiled immediately I came online, and murmured something, omo the Bluetooth was not connected o. Something I tested before connecting to the call, I was fumbling with my Bluetooth settings while she kept talking and gesticulating if I could hear her. The Bluetooth was connected to the system but was somehow not working, she saved me from my misery when she suggested we port to google meet for the interview.

I used the opportunity to check my Bluetooth settings well and connected to the call through a link she sent to my mail almost immediately. In the middle of the interview the restaurant gen went off throwing everywhere into darkness.... Omo!!!

I had to keep shining teeth and stretching my small eyes to its elastic limit because they were the only visible things from my end. She burst into laughter and I couldn't help but join her. It was as if she was in heaven calling someone in hell. I apologized and she told me not to worry that she understands amidst another bout of laughter that she was struggling to contain.

She shaa finished the interview with the normal I will get back to you after accessing the performance of other candidates, I still apologized for my interview settings hoping it won't affect my chances, she assured me that it won't have any bearing on her decision making as regards to selection of the successful candidate. She couldn't stop smiling throughout the interview that lasted for like 20 mins.

I packed my kaya and went home. I laughed my heart out while I narrated everything to my friend who rolled on the floor with laughter. The image of my eyes and teeth in darkness was so hilarious. This was actually my first interview and it will definitely live long in my memory.

Have you experienced something similar?? Please share for the fun

I laughed my heart out. I pray that God will send us a heaven saint that would fix our electricity issue.

If the pass this law, don't be surprised if another Buhari from Mali marries a Nigerian and the start contesting for presidency wins and start misbehaving.

I think IMF has something to gain from this shiiiit.

Anybody wey remove am an thunder go fire the person.

truth be told Osinbajo is overqualified, and he knows how things work from the inside, the only problem is his loyalty to APC and his attitude toward restructuring which everyone needs right now.

Tinubu na F9
Moghalu not bad
Obi not bad
Fayemi F9
Jonathan no go zone
Amaechi F9, na debt and unaccountability we go dey deal with till him tenure end
Atiku F9 another Tinubu/Buhari
Bello F9 bad example


Boya make we just gamble cos person no fit afford to get person like Buhari as president again, na suicide olohun

Only if you know what goes on in those Islamic schools, as in the brutality and lawlessness that transpires in those enclave.

Most moslems prefer Christian academy only to go there and start forming my kids must wear hijab. That's why you should give it to the northerners who are more sincere, you will never see them take children to anything Christian School to make trouble.

But the yoruba muslim been very cunny and deceptive will deliberately send their children to missionary schools and start crying and shouting hijab this hijab that.

even the northern Muslims, as radical as they are they won't do such. Na only our fellow Yorubas dey do over sabi

I think the Muslims instigating this violence are brewing chaos and unrest. The government is biased, and his approach lacks wisdom because he is trying to please the Muslim community.

If the case had been, there is no other school Muslim faith schoolzzzzzz for the sake of emphasy, it would have been a different case, and there would have been the justification for the use of hijab in a Christian school.

I can only speak about the governor of Ondo state and if I should rate his performance I would say 35/100 if not for security, it would have been 0/100

Na only security nahin e do for the state but the rest on God. The best so far would be Mimiko, but he later F up. The minor development in Ondo state was spearheaded by him.

Nonsense

It's one thing to give birth to a child, it's another to be able to cater to them

Some parent's duty in this life is to give birth afterwards, leaving them to cater for themselves at a very young age and when illicit act pays off, they say they are reaping the fruit of their labour.

Back then if your money is not clean you may get disowned by your family but this days you are a champion.

The fact that this failure is still alive to whine us is annoying.

Started from the government down to
Home, now parents don't see anything wrong in evil things
The society keeps glorifying nonsense

Omo the next generation go get as e go be if parents and the gvt refused to start getting it right now.

Way to go. It means more personnel likely of Nigerian descent will be employed to the African market.
But wait oh, a while 38% were cases of fraud from international crime agencies. Guys we can do better.

lmao

None...

I wonder if Buhari does not know that someone that is in partisan must not occupy any positions because they will indeed compromise the election.

Well I am not surprised, Buhari is above the constitution of Nig. He has done a lot of things that are contrary to the constitution many times without check

The arms of gvt are now paddy paddy, interfering in each others matter to bend the law to his favour

When Buhari lays his hands on you, your life will never remain the same, ask Super eagles, ask Anthony Joshua, and ask Nigerians.

We don suffer, small 22 joy Buhari stole it from us with his bad luck.

I should call Buhari on my enemies this year.

I forecasted that Buhari's morale support would bring doom just like he did to Anthony Joshua and walaaa!

We lost disgrace fully after maintaining a clean sheet

Things dey happen for Nigeria oh. A train line that's yet to become operational is now being dubbed as the fastest in Africa.

I thought the procedure would be to have it tested, up and running before claiming the rights. It's just like saying my house is the tallest in Africa meanwhile it has only been conceptualized inside my head.

We're better than this please. Although if sanwo olu can make it happen, he's assured of second tenure and even a bigger political office after Lagos.

Eko o ni baje

dem buy second hand new train call hype man like say na their money them use buy am and not taxpayers money.

A very good development but they should stop hyping basic amenities. Besides, a train that was not designed for Nigeria o and it has spent many years in the duck, a good procurement though but all these hype shiiit is not needed.

If it's good, the people would be the one to hype it not the media and gvt.

If them use this one campaign for Tinubu na Thunder go fire them.

Point of correction, it's not the fastest

Biased and unjust.

Do to others what you want others to do to you. This is more like stealing in the name of trying to multiply a religion.

Train designed for Milwaukee can work in other regions with minor modifications. The trains are only few years old, and train can work for more than a generation (50 yrs. plus). Developing huge capital projects such as train systems and road networks often comes with many setbacks as we can see with the cases in Milwaukee and even LA that has been trying to develop an underground system for more than 30 years. The initial cost was projected at 1B, now it has cost more than 30B and still not functioning.
A lot of you guys that have never left your villages and have very faint ideas of how things work around the world and are always quick to claim "saner climes" without having deep understanding of issues.
Can Nigeria afford the fast ultra-modern train system that you have in Europe? The honest answer is NO. The country does not have the financial capacity to do so, what is the GDP, what does the country makes on yearly basis? Compared just to city of NY, not a lot. With corruption and unnecessary recurrent expenditure, the financial situation is even made worse not to talk about the population that is growing exponentially on yearly basis.
Has Tinubu done everything done perfectly as a politician? Hell no, not even close but compared to these other shallow, dead heads you call politicians in and leaders in Nigeria including the ones with PHDs, he's way ahead of them with great ideas, great leadership skills and most importantly- with the knowhow of how to spot, attract, recognize and keep smart intelligent people around him.
This is the most important attribute any leader can possess. Tinubu brought out Osinbajo, Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo Olu and many many more. Compared to Jonathan who brought out Dickson, and that thug dictator wanna be Wike.
It’s your prerogative to vote for whomever you want, but pls stop this cacophony that those supporting Tinubu are doing so blindly, most are more educated, exposed and rational and logical than most of these anti Tinubu noise makers. As of this minute, Tinubu has my vote unless a better candidate emerges.

few years, how many? 4? We can't afford it because of unnecessary expenditure, while same keep bullion van in their yard, they are a financial institution on their own. How much does it cost to purchase the ones in Morocco and how much is the GDP of Lagos per annum? Me Economist. Tinubu is no where ahead, he is more like them even worse, he should campaign with results from the time he was a gvnor. Most people that are supporting Tinubu are thugs and educated people that are benefitting from him, I won't blame them though, but you can't tell me he is not thief and a rogue. Fash can say when he was the governor of Lagos state he did this and that, same as Ambode. What did he, Tinubu do when he was led Lagos, he has no vision, he is a worn-out vessel, a heartless murderer, a thief, and corrupt to the core. He became the state governor and filled all positions with his children and he has kept them there till now. Assuming he becomes the president, God forbid, he would do the same thing.

The only thing he is good at is political games and sabotaging those that are not ready to bow to him eg Ambode, he was unable to do that to Fash because he was almost spotless, and people found no fault in him

Talgo trains sat idle in a Milwaukee facility now heading to Nigeria

https://www.yahoo.com/news/talgo-trains-sat-idle-milwaukee-212327467.html

naso... If you can think, you should be able to realise that the train was designed for MilWalk and not the design Lagos needs. What year was it built?

In this 24th century if train and road, basic amenities is what you are celebrating I am sorry, you have no life

Lagos could afford to construct a 5 to 6 gauge or rail line like they have in Morocco with speeding bullet trains but here we are. Logos has the financial capacity and not the cheap asss, good bargained old train that was specially built for Mil.

If it was so good, why didn't other states in Europe or America purchase it?

Bigchristo:
Thats exactly what is happening every election season, it will look as if they’ve remove sense from the head of some people the way the rally round politicians, after elections boom they fall back to suffering from the hand of same people they campaigned and voted for, how many of those shouting Sai Baba during 2015 elections still have the strength to do so?

10k, 500h, 20k and one bag of rice... Then after election, they are back to the trenches shouting government no good for complete 8years, unless if their party give them their regular 2k and one plastic bowl of rice...

Ovo200:
I can't believe Nigerians are still interested in candidates like tinubu, like WTF shey we come this life come suffer?
Don't we deserve better?
For those saying tinubu developed Lagos, where exactly did tinubu developed In Lagos?
If you are someone conversat with Lagos you will know it's places the colonial masters and where the presidential villa was when Lagos was the capital of Nigeria are slightly developed. Go to other places Lagos is garbage, no good raod system, no modern facilitated hospitals ( if tinubu had developed Lagos why do he not stay in Lagos owned hospital for treatment, why don't his children attend Lagos tertiary institutions, even MC oluomo children aren't in Lagos university but Lagos is develop).
The most crazy tinubu election campaign promise; I will pay for all Nigerian Waec fee crazy as you think, is he going to use his personal money? Or tax or profit from Nigerian institutions? Another view, why do you want to pay for my child Waec fee? Oooh so you will keep me in poverty so much that I can't pay my ward Waec fee, what do this people takes us for

Oooooh I won't blame them dem don see Nigerians finish.

This coming election let look beyond tribe and religion let vote for man that has great achievable plans for Nigerians


I will vote for Ambode, fashola, over tinubu just to show how useless tinubu is.
Ambode has great plans for Lagos but tinubu and his urchins don't want greatness for Lagos, hw can they desire greatness for Nigeria?

WAEC that was almost free before, it's now 15k or 10k how much self...

I think APC increased it for that purpose. Besides, is he going to pay from his pocket? No!

Robbing Paul to pay Paul.


He his playing games, and northern votes are part of his political game plan...

Charity begins at home, the opolo eyes has never supported victims of tragedy from the South but always quick to throw the money he stole from the south up north.

I guess his game plan is to buy favour from the gullible poor masses up north, including support to rig from the north alongside the little votes he would get from the South.


Lagos was the center of trenches during his tenure, then fash came in including Ambode but they are giving him credits for what the moronnnn didn't do.

Instead of stopping fuel hike, they a moving to stop the protest... Awon were

Omo... We have to stop falling for stupid campaign promises.

I am wondering how we got here?

PDP was crazy but APC have skuri in the head, the father of craziness.

No... Many of us are fools in this country

They will come with the mantra we would restructure, but fear of the northern electorates never make them decide but save the best scam promise for the last.


When they see us, they see a bunch of fools.

The masses are their targets with these tricks cos the masses have the numbers... While the rich, money, loyalty, positions etc would win them over
