Am a Husband 'material', Am a good guy and Am Taken.

You know it, you feel it, you live it and it interests you if you are one. There are others out there just that u need grace to find them just like diamonds.

Same applies to wife materials

innovative!
and it can't certainly be from the east.none of welding jobs they beat their chest over ever works.

Does that man with his well nourished chubby arms and legs, look like someone from the hunger stricken Osun state or their likes? He can only be from the land flowing with milk and honey where everyone knows how to chop money.

Mere looking at him, he can afford a 4-wheel mobility. Hes just being creative as an Igbo man

Innovation borne out of basic survival instincts.

AltarBoy1:
Pardon my typo and formats, na small phone I dey use.

I have been contemplating whether to create this thread or not, cos my experience was kinda embarrassing for me. But lo and behold, I was shortlisted for the next stage. So I decided to share this just so that others will pick a point or two from it (thats if there is any).
I made it to the interview stage after two tests. So as usual, I got myself prepared for the interview, researched about the company, got answers to some possible interview questions.
Fast forward to the venue of the interview, I met some other candidates at the gate. Some were with their jotters, rehearsing their answers while others are just whining away time. So I just walk up to one girl that was standing alone to chat up with her before the interview start.

Few minute later, they called in the first person. After about 20 min, they called in the second person. Then next they called me in
The panel was made up of 3 people, a lady with two other men. From what I later gathered, the lady is the zonal MD and the two men were from the HR department.
After sitting down, they requested for my documents and photocopies, which I presented to them. They were all quiet, scanning through my documents until the lady spoke up.
Lady: Can you give us one good reason why you graduated with 2.2
Me: *Silent for a while* Plz repeat the question.
Lady: *Repeats*
Me: Well, there is no excuse for failure in life. If I have to give any excuse, it should be why I made 2.1 or first class against all odds and not why I made 2.2. So I dont think I have any reason to give, even if there is, I wouldnt say it.
Lady: *Silent while looking at me*
Man1: You just said 2.2 is failure, can you tell us why you used that word failure.
Me:*see as I put myself for wahala* Well, technically speaking, I called it failure cos currently in the labor market, 90% of all job vacancy requires 2.1 and above. Its only few that accept 2.2. And giving the population of the unemployed graduates, having a 2.2 is really a disadvantage. Thats why I used the word failure.
Man2: What do you mean by technically?
Me: Conditionally or under a certain condition.
Lady: Now, does it mean that you are technically a failure
Me:*I don F-up with this word wey I use* Technically am not,*can see the smile/laff on their face* If I am, I wont be sitting right in front of you considering the two aptitude tests that one have to scale before been here.
Lady: Maybe luck was on your side.
Me: Luck cant just choose only me among all the 100s of candidates that attended the tests.
Lady: Yes it can
Me: *Silent**in my mind, I was like, e b like say na luck carry you reach this position wey you dey now.*
Man2: Now, tell us why we should hire you?
Me: *smiled**didnt know that the smile was so obvious. So as I was about answering the question, the lady cuts in*
Lady: Why are you smiling?
Me: Nothing ma.
Lady: It cant be nothing, tell us why you are smiling.
Me: *Feeling Scared* Nothing ma, maybe its cos I have a smiling face.
Lady: How can you have a smiling face when you have been boning since you came in here. Even your passport says it all.
Me: *feeling more scared* with due respect ma, its nothing.
Man1: If you dont tell us, I think you should just go so we can call in the next candidate.
Me: *confused and scared, I just decided to say anything* I am smiling because I was expecting that particular question. *decide to add salt and pepper* in fact, we have been rehearsing the answers to this question and some other possible questions outside before I was called in.
Man1: So you already crammed the answers.
Me: Not really.
Man2: Then what/how
Me: Well, I have come up with some possible answer that suits my personality
Man2: And you think that answer is good enough.
Me: *By now, am already confused, so I was just saying anything that comes to my mind* Well, at least its good enough to impress the HR.
Lady: Is that what you think
Me: *Silent*
Man1: Ok, Now answer the question
Me: Well, Let me just say it the way it is in my mind. You should hire me because am not going to fail.
Man2: What do you mean by you are not going to fail.
Me: I have been unemployed for a long time, so if given the opportunity, I will anything that I can to sure that I dont go back to my unemployed status.
*All silent*
Me: things within the banks policy and interest
Lady: Is that the answer you came up with.
Me: No. I dont want to use it again cos its just to speak English and doesnt tell the real me since is something I picked over the net and modified.
Man2: Can we hear it.
Lady: No, just leave him *turning to me* You read chemical engineering, and you want to work in a bank. Are you not trying to go off your career?
Me: Well, even though I have a background in engineering, I do not have a career yet until I gain experience in a particular field, from there I can build my career.
Lady: Do you think you can survive in the bank as an engr.
Me: Engrs are trained to be flexible and adaptive. I believe I can and will succeed in the banking sector. If Mr. XXXX (the current CEO of the bank) and Mrs. YYYYY (one of their senior executive) can succeed, I see no reason why I cant.
Man2: Why are you comparing yourself with them?
Me: Cos they both read a course that has nothing to do with banking.
Lady: Name them.
Me: Electrical Engineering and Microbiology
Man2: So you have the faith that you can do it.
Me: Yes. Plus the fact that I always have luck *grin*.
They just burst out laughing.
Man1: Tell us any three recent happenings in Nigeria or policies by the FG that is affecting the banking industry
Me: TSA, Fight against corruption and drop in oil price.
Lady: Explain them.
Me: *did the little explanation that I can* Summary is that money is leaving the bank
Lady: Go, personnel will get back to you
Naso I begin dey go come dey think say I don f-up Till just last week, I got a text that that I was successful, that they will get back to be for the next stage.

Pls OP, Next time don't say that again. you nearly lost your chance if not for your smartness that made you recover quickly.
You should rather say " i graduated with 2.2 because it was a competitive academic environment, and graduating with 2.2 which is the 3rd grade out of the 6 grades (viz: 1st class, 2.1, 2.2, 3rd class, pass, and fail) places me on a fair advantage and also confirms me as a good graduate. Also, grades have never been the sole or best measure of intelligence as there are proved cases of test item discrimination and guessing parameters affecting performance in test. I believe this explains my success in the recruitment test"

THE BAYELSA ELECTION, A LESSON FOR THE IGBOS:
I have been following events in the Bayelsa state since Saturday and I think it's high time we Igbos woke up and learn our lessons. What is happening in Bayelsa state shows that the Bayelsans have moved on. They are no longer tied to the apron of PDP and GEJ. That state is one of the smallest states in the country and it's the home state of the former president (GEJ), yet the result of the election held since Saturday have not been announced officially till now. I thought the PDP would have swept off the whole votes just like they did during the presidential election, but to my amazement the APC is also gathering considerable votes there. I know PDP may eventually emerge winner in the election, but my point is that we Igbos should wake up and stop crying more than the bereaved cos even the bereaved have moved on.
Other regions have moved on and have even started integrating themselves into this PMB administration to ensure they remain relevant and not schemed out if things, while some of my people are still holding themselves down and throwing hate speeches here and there.
Other region are already preparing for 2019, some are already gearing up for 2023, while my people have failed to arise and shake off GEJ and his failed administration. By 2019 now, we will begin to run helter-skelter and start last minute preparation and when we loose again, we will say we are hated by others but we forget that we are the ones holding ourselves down now that others are already preparing ahead.
The Igbos have enjoyed more "juicy" appointments in the past 16 years of this democratic dispensation, yet none of the appointees or elected officials performed exceptional well for us to present him/her as presidential candidate. But look at the likes of Fashola, Fayemi, Kwakwanso, El Rufai, etc they are all potential presidential candidates going forward cos their achievements speak for them. Tell me the achievements of. Orji Uzor Kalu, T.A Orji, Sam Egwu, Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbadinuju, etc.... none of them made a mark in their various states, yet we leave them and keep pointing fingers to other regions and saying they are our problem.
I advise we wake up and begin to align ourselves strategically with other region now cos we can never produce a president in this country if we continue like this.
While some misguided elements are busy shouting Biafra, and claiming that South south is part of their Biafra, the southsouth have denounced the whole Biafra thing publicly and I understand that just last weekend, Nyesom Wike of River State, named a stadium in River State after Yakubu Gowon. Does that not tell you something?
The golden rule says 'DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WILL LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO YOU'..... Love begat love, hate begat hate. Don't expect love from others when you give them hatred, don't expect them to vote for your candidate when you keep calling them animals that live in the zoo.
"Give and it shall be given unto you" whatever you give to others is what they will give back to you GOOD MEASURES, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKING TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER.
He who has ears let him hear, Wisdom is profitable to direct.... I rest my case...

My friend, how much were you paid? You can do much better research before posting trash. There's no Igbo name like CHIKIEZIE, what we have is CHIKEZIE. Next time, research deeply. Am sorry for bursting your bubble, be ready to refund their money, they will soon come back for it.

All Hail Biafra ......

The Land of My Forebears

Obeisance to the Man who saw tomorrow...Major Gen Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

You forever live in our hearts with Major Gen Philip Effiong and a host of others who sacrificed their lives.

Through Nnamdi Azikiwe Nigeria was birthed, and now through Nnamdi Kanu Biafra will come to existence. This is destiny and not mere coincidence.

EnlightenedSoul:
Her feelings aren't your problem. Politely tell her you're not interested and move on.

I concur with you. If he is concerned about her feelings, that means he loves her

Babe, I will ask you to commit it to prayers, remember God is ever willing to bear our burdens and give us respite. Ask for His will, submit to His will and let Him lead the way for you

Secondly, stay away from Him only on Social media and engage him only in real life. Understand it that your relationship with him is better off without Social media. Some people live a dual life; cool, calm and quiet in the real world while being expressive and aggressive on social media and i think this makes such people introverts. Then check your differences with him and come to a reasonable compromise for more understanding. Attack the issue from the root and not the fruits. I know you are not the call/ phone conversation person, but you need to develop it please, it bonds much more better than social media.

You can equally confide in your lovely Dad , am definitely sure he has one or two lessons to give you on how to tame your Man. He is well schooled in matters of the heart though i didn't meet him.

Above all i wish you happiness

No you can't , Husbands name only appears on Nysc discharge certificate, (for married corps members)
1 major reason why it's easier to redeploy on marital ground.

OK. Thanks

byvan03:
My husband 's name appeared on mine.

Your view is clarifying...Am grateful, Thanks.

Hard as it may be, can someone request for her maiden name to appear there?

bakeuhappy:
its the husbands' name that appears on the NYSC discharge certificate

Thanks, I appreciate

ssoftapple:
ITS her maiden name that must and will appear on her certificate, how can her husband's name appear on the certificate? "where was he when her father was struggling to send her to school, pay her misscellenous bills and others? husband ke husbond ni!!! the maiden's name is lost already based on marriage atleast it wont get lost on her certificate.

Why are you pained Mr? Please read the post again and understand that there is oneness of mind and purpose.

Again are you Married? A Married lady? Works with NYSC? Or have a married sister who experienced this? How did you come about your standpoint? Please I need to know

misspicy:
and you believe that is a nairalander?

smh for your sense of scrutinity

My dear what is so special and reserved about being a Nairalander?

Abeg you only know yourself. Don't be anyone's advocate

Oke akpiri egbuola umu agbogho Igbo. Chegharianu unu na ete anyi pooti n'ihu

Please Dear Family members,

I need an answer from Married Ladies who have gone through this. When a Lady redeploys from NYSC camp on marital grounds to join her husband, Which name appears on her NYSC discharge certificate at the end of her service year?

Is it her Maiden name in which she was mobilized with, or her husband's name which she had notified the public including NYSC to take note?

Now the problem is, she needs her maiden name on the NYSC certificate to enable her secure a vacancy on biological grounds after NYSC.

Again, she is skeptical of her chances to secure a job (should that one fails) which favours singles over the married ladies today in our society, which is the more reason she needs her maiden name on the certificate.

So please, Which of the names will be on the Certificate?
