APC is already a failure, and failure is living in the same room with them. They need not search further.

Me wey don eating stop eating local rice 30 years ago, have started eating stone mixed rice again.

APC is Failure Pro Max.

israelmao:
Buhari is helpless and only waiting to go back to Daura.

Daura is a no go area for him. It is a bandit enclave.

When are they going to attack Aso Rock, it is long overdue.

LegendHero:
When is FG going to finish building those psychiatric hospitals they want to build in that East? Coz it seems these days, lot of Meth addicts keep escaping and we have to contain them.

So DailyTrust, a Northern owned Newspaper is now Tinubu newspaper?

To the topic, Amaechi asking for this right now is somehow stupid coz FG should be able to at least cater for the funds to treat these guys themselves without needing private funding. No be Nigeria donate over $1million to Afghanistan the other time, so why can’t the FG raise millions in Naira to treat victims?

Even if Nigerians will raise funds, I think the FG should not be the one to advocate for that. Amaechi should have used some NGO proxies to call for this. At least have some shame.

You are truly a #LEGEND, at least for your first paragraph.

Academicwizman:
This may be a prerequisite to Military takeover. Tactical manuorvre by those (vampires) that fail to capture or retain power through the Democratic process. Everyone should be on high alert now as this may begin to happen throughout the country.

High alert for what, to stop the military from taking over?

What has the politicians done that has improved the social welfare of the citizens that would make me protect their interests?

If the military would provide a better option to stop this carnage and rotteness in the country, they are highly welcome. But unfortunately they too have proved themselves over the years to be as bad as the present political regimes. And moreover they may stop or prolong our march to regionalism in Nigeria.

But somehow, somehow, something will happen very soon to stop the present violent madness going on across the country.

This is the handiwork of El Rufai and his master at Aso Rock coming home to consume them. I hope it will not spread to Katsina.

The Interview

By Bayo Adeyinka

March 15, 2022

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.

So you don investigate the case come judge the matter for nairaland here?
Be calming down. People lodge in hotels for various reasons

Somebody named himself #kingofthedamned (a cursed moniker) and you are arguing online with him?

englishmart:
I won a contract sometime in 2018, hired a team of 25 well paid experts and a couple of maladroit workers who we prefer to call labours. During the project, one of my staff cornered a potential contract that I had been pursuing. A contract that was worth at least #24m. He accepted to execute the project for 13m, and was paid a mobilisation of 6.5m to commence.
To cut the story short, this very Yoruba snitch did a bad job, wasted materials and couldn't deliver 1/10th the project. He later begged me to help him finish up the project but the amount he bargained was far below par. Ebn the cost of workmanship alone was worth more. He was later arrested, detained and currently serving at Ikoyi prison. As a kind-hearted Man from the east, I've been working arduously to get him out on bail. The bail is 5.3m, and I'm confident he'll be out soon.
Though I still hobnob with Yoruba guys, but I ensure it's done with at least a 3.3km long spoon

Even Satan himself is envious of your tribal bigotry.

Keep it up bro.

Wike is being pushed by the devil to waste his stolen River State money on a political jamboree doomed to fail.

BluntTheApostle:
Was Buhari not the president when we qualified for Russia 2018 with a game to spare?

This is the time to tell ourselves the truth. We are not passionate enough.

Blaming Buhari will not turn us into a German machine. And that is because Buhari has nothing to do with this spirtless display.

The Nigeria of 2018 is not the Nigeria of 2022, the country has gone to The rot, every sector, whether defense, health, welfare or education has deteriorated so badly.

Destinylink:
This is the worse team I've ever seen! No passion, no tactics, in fact nothing! Tueh!!!

The country is not encouraging to anyone, except the politicians and their families.

The country has been completely unlucky at all fronts under Buhari.

Buhari government is bad luck for this country, everything and everywhere is depressing.

slimghost:
Useless senators.

Dead beat polithiefcians who are only in the National Assembly to pose and drain the country.

They should all be lined up together and jailed.

Only criminals and rogues,and dead brain gerontocrats are the ones vying to be our next president. What a tragedy!

Zonefree:
Family business. Buhari and Northerners should find means to settle their differences.

People being killed are not all northerners, and moreover the northerners are human beings like you.

Have compassion, it may be your turn tomorrow.

IamSalt:


2014 to 2016, I thought 2 subjects in a private secondary school, I was taking JSS 1 to SSS 3 one of the two subjects and JSS 1 to JSS 3 the other subject, total of 9 classes.
The school examination questions were WAEC standed where you prepare 60 objectives and 5 or more essay questions without repetition and/or true/false answers.

I compiled over 585 questions every term and mark over 16 thousand answers termly. I still have other duties aside the class duties.


I was paid 11,880 naira monthly

Nigerian private business employers are slavedrivers with no human compassion. Their only interest is how to exploit their staff to enrich their lives.

Wicked people everywhere.

Dialpad:
Start something meaningful, there lots of opportunities online

For example?

Government of the gerontocracy by the gerontocracies.

God will eventually deliver us from Buhari.

Who dash monkey banana? Dem go do am ASAP.

Golan007:
Ariaria market dey look for new president.

Are you not current on the news? It is Nigeria that's looking for a new president, not Ariara market, and our own dear Saint Obi is the best candidate available for the post.

Please get your PVC ready. Promote him, campaign and vote for him come 2023. You will never regret doing so. His legacy at Anambra State is his recommendation.

lexy2014:
Wow...how did you know that Tinubu has anything to do with alpha beta? Is he the owner?

There is a mischief hanging somewhere in the air. Hope you are the cause of it.

Ijoba85:
Are you sure?

I am very, very sure. The spiritual problem will disappear. Too many testimonies confirming this.

lexy2014:
Can u give us a brief on alpha beta?

Ask Tinubu, his house at Ikoyi is in the public domain.

Nyanmiridunce:
Nyanmiris too love money. They only wail endlessly when the cookie jar is taken from them. Don't trust them with our national treasury oo. All their desperation to rule naija isn't out of love for naija but for free oil money. We no wan hear say 'owó tí kú wazo oo'.


Ngozi Ole jeme

E.g. Emefiele.

Good job. Keep it up, and rid the SE of that murderous and cannibalistic gangsters.

Ijoba85:
I feel like someone has done the same to me too cos things are damn difficult and all those that usually assisted me financially have all left me ...I need serious deliverance , what do I do?

Go quickly to MFM Church and do deliverance, and your problem will be over.

Righteousness2:
That is the degree of Wickedness being Pepetuated under the Sun.

Many today are chained , bottled, Calabashed, caged and padlocked in the Spiritual and they are living Hopelessly and Helplessly.

Many have been tied to various objects thrown into the sea. No Matter the kind of work they do, or money they make, it will be like using Basket to fetch water. Fruitless Efforts . Many are working like an Elephant but eating like an ant because Evil decrees and garments have been worn open them.
Some can have good deals and Promises only to disappointed at the point of their Breakthrough.

But I Stand this Moment as a Chosen and a Servant of GOD! Beginning from this photo right here, I send Holy Destructive Thunder to the Foundation of that cage and Power or altar backing it. In the Name of JESUS Christ whom I Love with all my Heart, I Destroy everything! I return the arrow on the head of that lady and I Liberate whoever it is that has been tied.

Listen Folks, living Empty is Dangerous. Living one leg here and one leg there is Dangerous!
Living a Life of compromise is Dangerous!
You need to Surrender, Believe and stand Firmly with GOD so when they take your name or Matter to any evil altar, there will Divine Bomb from to Blaster and destroy whoever.

12th & 13th of this Month of February 2022 is a great opportunity for yokes and Bondages to be Broken! No Matter the Number of years or Foundation involved.

It is Happening life @ The Lord's Chosen Charismatic revival Headquarters in Lagos , Nigeria in a Heavenly Settlement Program titled From Sorrow to JOY.

Save the date! Don't Miss it for anything. Go there and let GOD ALMIGHTY settle your Matter!
