The point am trying to make with the bolded statement is dat some 3rd class guys are even more smarter than some fortunate 2nd class who sort their way in the university just to get that result. Also, being a 2nd class graduate doesnt mean ur the most intelligent.

well, unfurtunately in this world of ours, we judge brilliance through academic record. That's the key!!! I slightly agree with you as regard some 2.1 grads that can't comfortably write a cover letter. Most especially all these yahoo guys or rich kids that bribe their way into school. Some will tell you they just need the certificate! That's all!!. But then, most peeps I know with 1st or 2nd are good! Very good!! 2.1 no be here o! Let alone of 1st. You must be completely oustanding to maintain the tempo!!! If you truely made a 2.1 on merit, you must be good! I know too many of my friends that were even far better than most lecturers! It does happen. There's this guy in my class that defended his Degree project in School Audit. That's to tell you how good some folks can be! And he even made a 2.1 not a first.

Please I went for the Workforce interview for a customer care consultant with Stanbic IBTC today. Although I wasn't interviewed cause I spoke the truth of not been able to speak two out of the three major local languages in Nigeria. The lady asked me to leave which I obeyed diligently. To my utmost surprise again, I just received another text message which reads;

Sequel to your cv submitted to work force management centre for a banking role, visit (their website). Print and fill the forms carefully with pen pending when you will be invited for an interview. All passport should be on corporate wears. Guarantors and referees must have email address.

Please was is that I was successful in today's interview even though I didn't participate? Or was I just lucky? Or probably I am been rescheduled for another role in a bank?

Any possible comments and suggestions on this will be gladly appreciated. Contribution from Giannakopoulos will be gladly welcomed and appreciated mostly. Thanks

LOLS! I also attended one today with UConnect for Call Center Role. So I was asked to speak 2 Nigerian Language fluently but I goofed! And from the Look on his face (interviewer) I need no one to tell me my performance wasn't impressive. Immediately I finish blab bing, the GM asked me to take my leave that they will get back to me. Just this evening an sms from them came in inviting me for the second stage of the Interview on same 2 Languages!! As for you, I think you performed averagely maybe that's why they considered you.

mrvitalis:
i wipe for my country ....a place were failure is celebrated .......abia ....i have never pitted u ...cos the way u make ur bed the way u ley on it
....nigerians is not ready for change ....we are all fools

the change you seek must begin with you first! By going back to elementary school to learn basic singular and plural, past and present tense, spelling and sentence correction. No hard feelings bro!

I should have given philips consulting about 100 percent for job weldone! But honestly they messed the whole thing up with their OMR numbering system! Seriously! Don't know how they gonna clean up this mess coz a lot of people will bank on that when they eventually fail to meet the cut off. For us that wrote at REAGAN PRIMARY SCHOOL, YABA LAGOS, we were informed to start from number 1 of Part A to number 40 of Part B that makes it 100. so I'm really scared with all this conflicting instructions!! SCOFIELD is good no doubt, but he needs to be reminded that SOMETHINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID! There are far inteligent peeps that equally wrote the test. And to some of us, this should or would be our last test as GRADUATE TRAINEES! Most of us are experience higher! So what I'm saying is this, the test we wrote doesn't call for bragging and insult. Rather we should channel that energy to something productive. I'm sure, some of us on this Forum had acess to the questions even before the Exam! This is Nigeria! Anything is possible! and would possibly come here to display their inteligence with intention to Intimidate some peeps in here!! I stand to be corrected!

MechM:
Kindly direct me on how to drive to Reagan primary school, what's the name of the street its on or any landmark, awaiting your response, thanks

it all depends on your location. I drove all the way from Ajah to Cms then took costain to Yaba. Then had to ask persons for the addy of the school. When you get to Yaba, take a bus or keke going to ONIKE! The school is very popular in that town. Oh' forgot you're coming with your own ride! Just connect to Yaba from any direction you're coming from! Stop at Jibowu and ask bus drivers! You'll find your way!

Mhen got to Reagan primary school lagos so late this evening! Made arrangement to crash in one of the class rooms so I can do my acccreditation as early as 7 or 8am in the morning! Wish you all the very best!!! Great thanks to Nairalanders that gave out all this important info of going with just the sms and a passport I'd for the accreditation. I thought all hope was lost for those of us that didn't get both the mails and invitation letter!!!

Inspirational piece!!! Very inspirational!!!!

I gained admission on MERIT to study the course I so much desire! Basically, if you have the background knowledge of the course you intend to study in Uni, you wount have much problem in your first year. Especially all the Introductory courses (101)! Again I found out that most peeps that gain admission based on Supplimentary List or given courses other than their choosen courses don't usually do well coz of lack of interest or Zeal. Secondly, to make a FIRST OR SECOND, you must READ, take important notes in class then make friends with people with Sharp Brains. Get a reading partner and strike a balance with your Book and other social activities. Back then in school, I participated actively in SUG and stuffs like that but wasn't carried away! My eyes was always on the GOAL to make a first class. Lastly, you MUST be LOYAL! Honestly, it pays to be LOYAL! I had a good relationship with my HOD and other lecturers so never had issues with missing scripts and victimization. I was also close to my Coursrep! So my dear, the Key point is Putting God first, Being Loyal, and making friends with people that share same aspiration as you. That's all! I thank God for Granting me my dream course! Gained admission on Merit, and had 4.23 on a scale of 5.0 it can only be God!

BobE1:
This can’t be true, …..how do we explain this to unbelievers?, they are bound to say, “ where is our God”?, Honestly, I am speechless.

God gives! And God takes!! No one is immune to death! When I lost my Dad about 3 months ago! What I did was to tearfully go on my knees and say "thank u Lord" coz he knows the best!!!

THERE WAS A COUNTRY!!

dude please stop messing up all thread with your silly blog advert! NO ONE WILL CLICK ON YOUR BLOG! Its that simple! ...... That's by the way! Well, its about time we stopped portraying TAMBUWAL as a demi god! As far as PDP is concerned, he's nobody!! We are tired of reading same news every minute of the day!! So the issue of his decamping aint news anymore coz we already know he's been sitting on FENCE all this while as a pdp member.

Even an average indidvidual can comfortably set up that thing he calls E-library!!! This man is simply a chronic Thief!! He's absolutely one of the worst things that has happened to Abia as a state. Go to Aba and you'll weep for the state.

So where's OMOJUWA? That boy that thinks he's a twittter god!!!

South Africa's football captain Senzo Meyiwa
has died after being shot during a burglary,
police say.
He was reportedly attacked after men entered his
girlfriend's house in Vosloorus, south of
Johannesburg.
His agent described him as a humble man from a
tough background who had become a "hero in
everyone's eyes".
The 27-year-old was the goalkeeper for Orlando
Pirates and had played in South Africa's last four
Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On Saturday, he was in action for his club, when they
progressed to the semi-finals of the South African
League Cup, beating Ajax Cape Town 4-1.
Reward offered
In a statement, the South African Police Service said
two men had entered the house, around 20:00
(18:00 GMT), demanding mobiles phones and
valuables. A third man remained outside.
Reports said Meyiwa may have been trying to
defend his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo
All three fled on foot after shots were fired.
The footballer may have been trying to defend his
girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, a South African singer and
celebrity, when he was shot, reports said.
He was declared dead on arrival at hospital.
Police said on Sunday evening that they were
breaking protocol to announce his death so soon
after the shooting.
Relatives and fans gathered outside the hospital and
Ms Khumalo's house to grieve over Meyiwa's death.
National shock - by Milton Nkosi, BBC News,
Johannesburg
The whole nation is mourning the passing of a
national football hero. Radio and TV chat shows are
clogged with callers expressing their shock and
dismay. And I must declare personal interest right
from the onset - Orlando Pirates has been my team
since growing up in Soweto.
His shooting brings into sharp focus the wider issues
of gun crime in South Africa, particularly so soon
after the marathon trial of athlete Oscar Pistorius,
who says he shot dead his girlfriend by mistake,
fearing there was an intruder in the house.
South Africa is asking itself deep questions about the
cancer of violence that has killed some of its best
talent. It was seven years ago this month that
renowned reggae singer Lucky Dube was killed in a
robbery. The question in many people's minds is:
granted there is crime all over the world, but why is it
that here in South Africa violence is so gratuitous?
South African President Jacob Zuma said in a
statement on Monday: "We mourn the death of this
young footballer and team leader whose life has been
taken away at the prime of his career. Words cannot
express the nation's shock at this loss."
Members of Kelly Khumalo's family arrived at her
home on Monday morning
Senzo Meyiwa began playing for Orlando Pirates in
2005 and went on to captain the national team
Ephraim Mashaba, head coach of South Africa's
football team wept during a news conference called
on Monday in response to the footballer's death.
'Senzo is everything'
"Senzo was a very kind person," he said. "I have
never seen Senzo being sad or angry in the camp."
Urging Meyiwa's team-mates and colleagues to stay
strong, he added: "Senzo is a team player, Senzo is
everything."
His words were echoed by South Africa midfielder
Dean Furman who told the BBC that Meyiwa was
"just the nicest guy you could wish to meet".
President Jacob Zuma (here with Meyiwa in 2013)
said words could not express the nation's shock
Investigators worked outside the scene of the
shooting in the Vosloorus township on Monday
"It's tragic, so sad", Furman added. "He has a young
family so there's more to it than losing a footballer.
Someone's lost a dad."
Meyiwa's agent Mike Makaab called the death "a
huge shock", saying that Meyiwa was "really a hero
in everybody's eyes".
Team mate Tsepo Masilela was among many voicing
their shock at the news on social media.
"How do you kill someone for a cellphone?" he
tweeted, saying the whole country was at a loss.
"When does it STOP South Africa?" wrote Darren
Keet, the national team's number two goalkeeper.
Gun violence
Senzo Meyiwa started playing for Orlando Pirates,
based in the Parktown district of Johannesburg, in
2005.
"This is a sad loss whichever way you look at it, to
Senzo's family, his extended family, Orlando Pirates
and to the nation,'' said Pirates' chairman Irvin
Khoza.
His death is the second blow to South Africa's
sporting community in three days. On Friday, former
800m world champion runner Mbulaeni Mulaudzi was
killed in a car crash.
The shooting has once again highlighted South
Africa's high crime rates and problems with gun
violence.
Between April 2013 and March 2014, more than
17,000 people were murdered in South Africa, an
increase of about 5% since the previous year,
according to police figures.

diluminati:

I never lied! So goodnight! And jump out of my mention. Thanks!

aforosco:
you are very intelligent to see the way it is.if he cant speak eng how will he sell nd how wil he buy itz goods abi na turkey imported banana or he dey plant am ni

you guys still don't get it! Obviously it was all publicity stunt! But sincerely! He couldn't express himself in English! Believe it or leave it!

diluminati:
@mrking3
you dey lie oh, front page hunter. He was actually having fun in the company of a freind, cant you see the original banana seller, the lady with a baby at the back. Liar Liar!

what ever sha! So what fun would make him to subject himself to such public ridicle? Without minding his pictures taken and displayed for the whole world to see? Wasn't there all day! Was passing by and saw him hawking around there and I knew it was just for publicity stunt but didn't know exactly what his intention is!

ifyalways:
Yeah, it does but when it rains, the entrance is messed up totally.

Flood covers up the whole of Nicon, Ancopen etc. No drainage, I fear the shopping complex( VGC not ikota) would be washed away someday from the mini erosion building up from somewhere near that ikota complex/ VGC fence.

I agree with you totally!! Seems you stay close or somewhere Ajah?

Gullible folks are already droping their numbers!! Chai!!!

RockMaxi:
Somebody is enjoying himself and you are assuming he's suffering.
So with all the noise about VGC, this kind area still dey?

that's actually the path between Ikota shopping complex and VGC ... VGC share same Fence with Complex!! So no go there o! VGC make brain o!!!

nma24:
looked like a demigod was hawking Banana to you abi? The man no include Groundnut join? Let him hawk it very well after all there's Nothing So special about whites...

guy fvck off! I only felt it kinda weird to see such! Probably he has got some hidden agenda as some peeps rightly opined!! How many of this whites do you see hawking on the streets of Lagos? You wey bi mr ITK!!!

Guys chill! MTN network has been epileptic! Reason why the delay in uploading the Pics!!!

was walking towards VGC enterance this evening and saw this young man hawking just right in front of VGC gate!! So couldn't help but take pictures of him!!! Though I actually interviewed him briefly and he told me he's from TURKEY and can't express himself in English!! So didn't borther interviewing him further since he can't speak english. What's with this white men and their publicity stunt all over lagos? Just last week we saw pictures of a homeless white man lying on the Road and many others like that.

And some stewpid Racist countries like dominican city. And Uk will never deem it necessary to restrict movement from US to their fucking country? Truth is no condition is indeed permanent!! Its their problem! They should deal with it!

But don't know how some dumb and poverty stricken countries like colombia and dominican city still think Nigeria is yet to contain EVD even after getting the ALL CLEAR from WHO?

omoafolo:
There's no place in the Form where they asked for Drivers license number

seems most peeps have problem with paying attention to details? bros didn't you find anywhere they asked questions like :

Do you have a valid driver's licence?
If Yes! What type?
Date of Licence?

And the questions were all asteriks * not even optional! indicating its a major requirement for application.

barackodam:
And what's so bad about it?? .



Don't they do the job here too ni

just exactly what I was about to post! Even most. Graduates still do some odd jobs here in Naija much worst than they do in Dubai most of the security men you find in banks and other places are 80% graduates. I tell u.
