I saw an advert at mowe about a job vacancy,i decided i was going to apply for the post of hotel receptionist with basic salary 45k and free accomodation, i was so exited when i saw the benefit attached to the job.

So i called the number and i was directed to their office, on getting to the office,the secetary told me the agent fee is 2500, without hesitating i paid the money the following day.

I was given the address and the hotel is situated at festac, i packed few of my things and was set to go and resume work, i had to borrow tfare from my sister on that day.

To my greatest suprise i had spent almost all i have with me before getting the location, i knocked at the gate and i explain to the gateman about my mission, he told me they had employed someone about two month ago.

I felf like crying when i heard they had employed someone else, what comes to my mind is how i will get back to mowe from festac.

I had to beg for transport before i could get to mowe.

Have u ever experience such situation before?

Nah. I no fit ever lusegard

They've employed someone 2 months ago and that idiot still collected 2.5k from you... I would have gone back and left him with nice bunches in the face for wasting my time and resources.

Kai you fvck up! If na me ehn, I go collect that N2,500 plus the cost of transporting myself there. Dem dey mad!

Feel sorry for u and laughing at the same time...hahaha...u gats shine your eyes for lasgidi

Welcome to Lagos!

@Mukina2,
we are actually just seeing 'that' today.
So sorry for the late response sis.
It wasn't deliberate at all.
We will get across before the end of today ma.
Hardly we go in there!
Copy!

Let me get this straight, you borrowed transport to go resume work where you did not apply. I would not be wrong to also deduce that you were hoping to get paid, fed and accommodated on arrival?

Lagos is not for everybody....

if you dey village ....Lagos go be like london for your eye.....

Until you jam the Lagos hustle

H

Lagos for show.

Nah to find better police go visit them. Make dem fuel black maria small.

Agent job na scam, once they told you to pay agent fee. Japa.

No, i would call my sure friends and family for instant assistance they would send me money and i would return back

Were u planin on sleepin ova der

I can't forget the day i trekked from ojota to mafoluku after i lost my wallet in 1997. I was so ashamed to beg for money from passersby, not because of superiority complex but because, i was not raised to be a begger. That can never happen again sha, Thanks to technology.

I have never been stranded because i don't move without money, even if it's just to go and visit someone in the next building, i never leave home without money in my pocket.

Haha if you are talking about being stranded in general then I think I have a few scenarios;
1)19 years old,got stranded in Linz ,Austria when the gees weh invitte me no gree look my side when I came.Them no gree pick my calls ,na so I just dey frustrated sleep for street till I met other Nigerians.
That was my first major disappointment in life.

There was also another time I think while growing up (was 16 or so) when I went to visit my crush then
Bought one pack of coke,buy oranges and even mango and pawpaw with my return transport hoping that when I got there and gift her those things,I will ask for transport from her when going back home.
Omo I reach there na so them tell me say my crush don go France with her family ooo(she was a mullato,father was french) My jaw drop no be small.
I had to leave the fruits with the security at their place out of anger and went ahead to hawk the coke I took there so I can realise tfare to go back home ooo
I hawk till 7pm come get transport,then I dash one agbero one coke sef,the guy too dey beg me coke for that motor park where I been dey hawk gift

You lucky see who give you money to come back self

Omo wetin my eyes don see me I no fit talk

I remember like 5 years ago i went for an interview for a call center job then i only have 2k with me so have already calculate
How much i need to spend so i waited like 15 minute we were like 15 people for the interview mehn i ask the receptionist the rest room i went there after using the toilet I put my wallet beside the washing basin of the toilet, i rinse my hand and i forgot the wallet there i gues because of the tension of the i interview

It has reach my time for interviews before i enter the interview room i search my self i notice something is missing my phone was with me but my wallet is missing i keep sweating like a goat i went back to the toilet The wallet is gone almost fainted i went back to the interview room sweating but i stil compose my self but one of the interview notice but he didnt ask anytin unfortunately i pass the interview but one of the interviewer ask me why am i sweating is it because of the interview i said no that wallet had been stolen at the rest room that am stranded to go home back
They gave me 3k back home if not i could have to turn begger i stay in alagbado and i went all the way to ajah to do the interview

I later got the job
