Pls there is this question bothering me for some times now. It has become a constant headache during and after every interview.
Pls my Dear Honourable members in Nairaland, Is gap teeth in anyway an excuse interviewers use to disqualify people from any job, Most especially on banking jobs?

I have attended several interviews where I am convinced that i tried during the interview but unfortunately ended up not being shortlisted. I am beginning to think that my gap teeth might be a hindrance to all of my dream jobs...

Recent I applied for a Banking job, Service Executive to be specific where I got shortlisted for Aptitude test for three times. Latter on after some days i received an invite that i have been shortlisted for Virtual interview which was last week. Early this week I took part in the interview were i was told they will get back to me through mail.

Today i just got a reply that my experience, profile and presentation were remarkable but However, they regret to inform me that I was not recommended at the end of the interview session.

Without been told I already knew My open teeth is behind this again.
Pls help me out on this, if i should stop wasting my time, energy and money applying for jobs. Honestly I'm beginning to get depressed of all the emotional trauma.

The question is Should i stop applying for jobs like banks? Do I still have hope? How will I start imagine things when My age exceed their limit, knowing fully well that banks has limited age range.

Pls help a brother before depression will weigh me down. Below is the screenshot of the message i got from the recruiters and my gap teeth

You might want to see a dentist, it looks more like you lost a tooth than having gap tooth. The recruiters might think you are a street fighter in disguise.

Not a bad idea.

Nice.

slyfox35:

Thanks for this,my thoughts exactly, but I do not know how to tell him to back off,should I remind of him of what he did?

"I am sorry, you cannot stay in my house"- shikena.

slyfox35:
Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?

He is coming to finish the job he failed to complete in that African country. If you like fall mugu.

Good

Your suggestions please

No, your time is your time.

PTF needs to think outside the box.

sapientia:
OP, Kano ran out of test kits.

Hundred thousand call centres will not help them.

Our problem started first because Buhari handlers were docile and treated the severity of this Virus with kid gloves.

To compound it, they read on Nairaland that nations are locking down and as usual, without even asking for clue on their plans on it, Buhari just locked down.

OP, our main problem is not call centres but trying to copy developed countries partially.

Enough testing kits and test centres with compulsory wearing of mask while maintaining social distancing all over the nation will reduce the spread.

Am only angry that Buhari Led FG are just suffering Nigerians because by the time people move to the street enmasse cos of hunger, this one month lockdown would just become useless.

Kano not Nigeria as a whole ran out of test kits. Complaining won't make Coronavirus go away.

Seun:
Is the lack of call center capacity by NCDC the reason why they haven’t been able to stop the spread of the virus?

It seems to me to that a shortage of test kits and suitably equipped laboratories, and a reluctance to test more people for fear of “wasting” money or increasing the number of confirmed cases is why we have failed to test and isolate enough people to stop or dramatically reduce the rate at which the virus is spreading.

The fact that our people are still interacting closely with each other without face-masks at hospitals and pharmacies, markets/shops selling food, filling stations, and ATM machines, which are all absolutely essential and cannot be locked down, isn’t helping. Face-masks slow the spread so that testing can catch up.

We can now run 1,000 tests per day. The NCDC is now complaining of lack of samples to test. Testing capacity is increasing daily.

Widen the search net, identify potential cases faster, end the lock down in shorter time. The strategy is simple, leverage on existing capacity to address the problem.

The people in Kogi state are on to something, we can improve on what they are trying to do.

CodeTemplar:
mobile banking. you think they sit down in front of PC and code facemasks, testkits, ventilators or medication into existence. That's only possible in witchcraft, magic and spirit realm. We need concrete efforts and not some codes running on imported computers.

What is the correlation between the article and this?

GamalNasser:
A country that doesn't have roads and can't get electricity supply to it's citizens , that hasn't been able to scale the issuance of a simple National ID fro decades is supposed to do this ?

Yes, because it has made strides in mobile banking and telecoms that make the suggestions possible.

Nigeria like most countries of the world is faced with an epic battle with the novel coronavirus, Covid-19. So far, the main strategy of the federal and many state governments is to initiate some sort of lockdown and try to test those that have strong symptoms and those that might have had contact with those confirmed positive with the virus.

Now, there is an undesirable consequence of this attempt to fight Covid-19 which is that the economy is practically grounded with millions of Nigerians that earn a daily income struggling to feed during the lockdown. To mitigate this and other undesirable consequences, it is important for us to initiate a system that allows us to rapidly identify those that have been infected or those that might be at a high risk of infection.

I propose that the federal and state governments invest heavily in call centres. Telecom companies and banks could be encouraged to make available staff of their call centres as well. Now, each of the call centre agents involved in this Covid-19 service would be trained to evaluate anybody calling with parameters that might indicate an individual is infected with the virus. Because a considerable part of our population especially in urban centres are tech savvy, web and mobile apps to replicate the call centre options can be used as well. I believe Kogi state is already using a form of this sort of app.

Citizens that suspect they are infected can have easier access to this preliminary screening to the call centres or app and those with high index of suspicion can be quickly identified and tested while urged to immediately self-isolate themselves. In addition, family and friends or neighbours of people suspected to be infected can also call the expanded call centres to give information and the symptoms they are observing in potential Covid-19 patients and their location. Field health workers that have been properly trained can then make house calls to check and test such suspected cases.

This collaborative and much more "crowdsourced" surveillance and testing regime can help identify cases faster and limit the spread of the coronavirus.

I believe if this is done with dedication over the next 3 weeks, Nigeria can begin to ease the lockdown and get people back to work while the elderly, those with chronic diseases and other vulnerable people can be encouraged to stay home because of the fact that they are at higher risk.

This process can be maintained until the number of those infected becomes negligible and we can hopefully return to the similitude of normalcy.

Your point is valid,but the girl is showing some affections,like sometimes she'd rather help me in the shop that go out with her friends even when it is her time out,so I don't want to betray that and at the same time I do not want to overstep my boundaries

Guy, do your due diligence, settle with her family if you are satisfied. Marry a good girl I hope and believe.

profsomebody:
Bro, I see nothing wrong with finding love from amongst your workers, provided you are emotionally strong enough to not let it reflect in your business environment. However, I believe you've already failed at that with your employees beginning to refer to her as "oga wife" as u stated (you have to work on fixing this). Apart from this, it's very wrong of you to have accepted her offer to start cooking for you, for whatever reason (I mean, how did you guys even get to that stage?). It's even worse that she's refusing money for the food she cooks for you and you accepted that too. Now, I'm not about going the superstitious route by suggesting she's mixing love portions with your meals, as I find those shii laughable, but the mere fact that she decided to be cooking for you without pay (twice daily) is a red flag for me. It shows she's desperate to make you believe she's not interested in your money, and in most cases, when ladies do this, the exact opposite is true. Where's she getting money from? The salary you pay her? How much do you pay her? For her to be juggling her schooling with working for you, she obviously isn't "rich", and is doing it for the money. Now tell me why she would go through all that stress just to be spending part of her salary feeding a grown man (in this case, someone who obviously doesn't even "need" her help)? Would she go through all she goes through just to be giving a broke bf half of her salary for feeding? I believe you know feeding costs a lot of money. And considering she's cooking for someone above her level, she'd always try to come up with something that will be presentable and befitting for you (means she has to spend even more than she would need to cook normal students concoction rice). Again, I ask how much do you pay her for her to be able to afford all these in the name of being nice? All these things don't add up. Makes it look like she's only trying to manipulate you (if she hasn't yet succeeded). Think, bro. Think! And going forward, try to set boundaries between yourself and your employees. Nobody is saying you should become a feared boss, but learn to be more professional.

If she is a decent girl and in love, she can. Some people appreciate good things and want to help make them better. Not everybody is evil.

Ishitinyourlife:
I live in the west, I'm single and in my late thirties, I work independently I have a store/cybercafe/gamehouse where I sell electronics like home sound system, games, pads, phone accessories, mobile phones etc and I also have a cyber cafe and a game house in the same building.

I have about 6 workers that run the place with me cos I can't be everywhere at all time and the shop is a little big. Among my workers is a very beautiful 22 year old undergraduate that works for me when she gets off school and during holidays. I like all my workers and I treat them right but I'm not really a guy that gets personal with people so they know I have boundaries, but this girl is exceptional. She takes her work diligently makes even more sales than me in the shop most of the time cos she is good with people.

This girl is very attractive and she dresses nice too. She doesn't wear revealing clothes. She's modest, all calm. I used to buy food from restaurants to eat in the shop before because I don't really like cooking but she told me I don't need to do that, she can make my food and bring it over to the shop for me. Like she will bring me food in the morning before school and afternoon and she refused to collect a dime from me.

People are starting to feel a certain vibe among us cos she smiles whenever she looks at me and even my workers do call her oga's wife jokingly.

In truth I like the girl but I don't know if asking her out might cause a problem to my business.

Advise me please.

There is no way you won't have to make adjustments marrying a woman. These qualities seem to make her a good wife material. Why don't you stylishly check her family background? If everything makes sense marry her my brother.

This is unwise. I hope it doesn't affect Nairaland. The #ShutDownNigeria people don't have a very deep understanding of how an economy works. The vast majority of business activities in a developing country like Nigeria are essential. Very few people go to Lagos just for fun. Our leaders think that shutting things down is a viable alternative to massive testing and isolation of those who test positive, and sadly, we are cheering them on. There is no quick fix to the Coronavirus. There is no alternative to massive testing, isolation and contact tracing. We have to be smart.

Shutting down a country to stop a virus is like shooting a man dead to kill the sickness in his body. Does it work? Probably. But it's also unwise. I say instead of that, find a drug that targets the sickness in his body and kills it without killing the man. That's the only real solution to this issue.

There are only two countries whose efforts to beat the Coronavirus have been really successful. China and South Korea. I suggest that they are the only people that we should be listening to. They both encourage the widespread use of facemasks. They both do massive testing and isolation of infected people. China shut down part of their country but South Korea didn't do that despite having around 1,000 new cases per day at peak. They just continued to do every smart thing that could reduce the rate of transmission of the virus, and it worked and is working.

If you put a mask on every face, educate everybody about how to conduct their business without spreading the virus, and do massive testing of all people suspected to have the virus, and that doesn't work (it will), that's when you can start thinking of shutting things down. Our politicians won't even distribute face-masks to market women in Lagos who are begging them for it, or wear them, but they want to #ShutDownNigeria.

How will it affect Nairaland? Here is a short part of the answer to that:

I agree with you on trying to find a cure.

ayukdaboss:

What woman? Did you follow that story at all? How can you just sit in your house without any personal access to information from the hospital she was admitted at, and cook up your own stories?

LOL, some people are funny, they just must counter issues.

Krak:


His case was suspected but it was confirmed he infected others. Hmm... check that logic yourself and see maybe it makes sense.

You are trying to prove to be clever but if you carefully read the article, you would see it has made the points that you are debating.

Official death toll: 0
Possible actual deaths: Low, despite possible large undocumented exposure to the virus.

sassysure:
What about the woman that died in Enugu?
Had the daughter not gone public with it, the govt will deny there was no infected individual in Enugu.
Even now from what I saw up there, the Nigerian govt still denied her case.

She was rejected in various govt hospitals until they took her to teaching hospital where she died. Daughter said the govt killed her as she was not taken care of. Look for the story and update on it here.

U guys should keep living in denial with some useless conspiracy theories.

People die everyday. She tested negative for Coronavirus.

Krak:


Then it means the body authourized to announce deaths is obviously lying. An index patient that infected others is dead and they are telling us no death.

Then what killed him, is it Amadioha? Or maybe the guy is sleeping and still snoring away on his bed.

It's science, you cannot report what you have not observed. It remains a suspected case until proven otherwise
