Pls

To add to this

I beg you in the name of God

Don't pay anybody any money to teach you how to make money online

Those idiots are now so many on Instagram and YouTube

Showing you expensive lifestyle how they made it
Dropshiping and buying this and that
How you can do little and make thousands of dollars

First you should know


No Nigerian
I repeat
No Nigerian loves you that much to tell you how to make money that will reduce his own customers or compete with him


Most of them teach what they do not do
They make money from tutorials
They can have 6 to 10 classes a month
Making 200k per class
From innocent people paying 20k to learn how to become a millionaire


They might have used the method when it was still fresh but when it's now over saturated and its no longer bringing money because the competition is too much

They start teaching other people


When you make money doing one particular thing online
90% of nigerians will keep it to themselves so that it doesn't cast

Once they start selling course of 15k to 5k to 20k

Someone That claim to have made 10m to 50m still needs your 5k

Use your head and think

The only Exception are those
THAT TEACH YOU A GENUINE TECH SKILL AND TECH COURSES YOU CAN GET CERTIFIED ON TO WORK

I was doubtful but decided to give it a try... I have already started calculating how I will flex with my salary during December cos it was during ember month

fast-forward I called d person nd arrived at d venue dat day... I was shocked with d number of ppl dat I saw there..abt a hundred all kitted up in suits nd coperate grin..

Then one hungry-looking huluhu was came on d stage nd started vibrating on how he made his first million nd his he travelled to Brazil on an all expense paid trip by d company..

we were told to pay 9000# to begin.. dats when I was fed up... got up to run away but d agent I called held me down nd was persuading me to drop something even tho it's 50#.. grin grin....I told him lemme go and withdraw, from there I disappeared, entered keke going to my house, called d agent nd rained curses on him

Be like this op want me to put more curse on those people today angry

No much different from op story though, just the distance.

After NYSC in the North, was in Abuja , I got this packaged interview , I enter road from Abuja, landed at a family place in Ikorodu, enter road to Mushin on the day.

As I got there ,I met several other people waiting for the interview to commence. We were all gathered in a big hall , that was when a lanky black man entered, I have never see someone with sweet mouth in my life.

I already knew I have enter am, I was just sitting on the chair thinking and crying inwardly about my life, I didn't have and I have spent so much on transport alone.

As if that was not enough, that's how the unfutunate idiot said we will pay 12k for registration angry , some people stood to pay which I knew they are partner in crime, later they reduced to 6k angry

Guess what they are selling all along,lo and behold, its SWEET yes, they were selling sweet like that normal licking sweet and you need to see how that evil man really presented it , showing us different pictures of how he was holidaying abroad just for selling sweet.

I sa left the place after so many thoughts in my head on how I'm going to manage myself back to the base.

I stopped granting unverified interview since that year though, may God help Nigeria.
I wish our leaders can do something about those wicked people.

These guys are extremely wicked! Esther break-through at OJUELEGBA do they still exist ? My friend told me we should try them out.Just coming back from service.The queue of applicants were as if people were applying for visa.This was around 2010/11 there about. Collected money for test materials .I told my friend ,my instinct is flogging me for falling for these guys,They are crooks.we've been 'ripped' We were over 500 or less.My guy said make we try am.In less than 3 hours,the test results came.I scored 97% but guy 98%. Collected another money to link us with his clients at Ikeja.We were sent to non-existent company at GRA.I was angry and told my friend that I am angry with him and the man.My friend retorted what if it had worked? I said I will collect my money from the guy and would probably beat him.I was dissuaded by my friend.We encourage ourselves and walk- away. Job scammers are roques.They will even publish vacancies in newspaper then,They have reinvented themselves using the electronic platforms now!

There was a man I recently interviewed, he said he got a first class in America, worked for Deloitte accounting and owned three petrol stations in the UK.

He said we should give him a chance at our company as a manager and he will give us 30% profit every year.

After we hired him our expenditure has increased to 3 times the original operating costs. We can't jet him go because our shareholders think he just needs time to adjust

Around 2014 I travelled from Benue State to Lagos for one scam interview. It was terrible experience. The organiser brought us together to get money from us. The organiser claimed that he was contract by a multinational company to recruit staff. Alot of people came from across the country. We were taken to a shabby hotel, immediately we started suspecting a foul-play. The organiser got to know and wanted to run. He was caught and he confessed. grin

GNLD.. The GOAT of Scam Interviews

I saw their interview and applied. Got their message inviting me for an interview due to my impressive CV. I'm just fresh into the Labour market and my grades were not on the CV but WTH.. They said impressive, so nothing else mattered. I was in cloud 8 😌

So I approached Henry, who joyfully lent me the same suit he gave me during my project defence. Henry is broader at the shoulders so the suit was supposed to be bigger at the shoulders. However, I think the impressive praise I got expanded my shoulders to angle 90 to fit the suit so I no wan hear say e no match.😑

I spent about 90% of my muscle mass and the energy from the food I ate that day ironing razor sharp gators into the suit trousers. Hopefully, they will clear the path for me 😎. That's how son of man prepared o, thinking my breakthrough was finally here. The LUDE polish saw depreciation that night as I generously applied it to the brogues to hide the age of the shoes. They always said then that how you dressed is how you want to be addressed.

5 P.M., and I was on the way to Yaba, to meet up with this high profile, Fortune 500 Company with a Potential to Empower The Youth of Tomorrow, as per their description in the SMS. I navigated the alleys with a chip on my shoulder (bro, I'm wearing suits and brogues, what do you expect?), and finally arrived at the venue. 😌

The venue? I remember thinking. This is just like an empty space with all these benches in football centre and tarpaulin demarcation here and there. Even the people there, the way they were dressed, I kuku concluded that if this was the place, we are not here for the same thing. After all, one brilliant man said 'Don't judge a book by its covers' (Ogun later kee this man sha).🔥

I sha brought out my BIRD flip phone and dialled my boss (who later introduced himself as Line Manager, which is a term I found impressive (for about 2 hours)). This man came out, but he didn't dress like CEO with his SAMSUNG blue light phone (those business centre model) 😐. On the other side, Mark Zuckerberg sef dey wear one Kain shirt with trouser so make I chill. He said I should go with him and I did. That's how we passed different groups of people o, until we reached where this man kept his own army of recruits. I was given a seat and I nodded to all those other guys (some of whom dressed to kill too.). Okay, let's do this.😎

That's how this man began to talk long story o. From history of Golden Neolife Diamite and all those things, to how leg and leg will multiply to give more legs, to selling health products to buying starter pack.. Omo. Is this interview or training for the interview. At a point, I had to ask o and he started another story that described how 'Salary is slavery-something-something..'. Imagine telling me that came to chop your money with my impressive CV that what you are supposed to pay me is slavery.. In that case, enslave me abeg, that's what I'm here for. I didn't come for freedom nah 🥲

When I saw that ontop the heat dealing with me inside this borrowed suit, Oga was not ready to enslave anybody, instead, wanted to chook hand inside our pocket, I excused myself and left to take a serious decision. I had a serious decision to make between concocting a story on how the interview I dressed to kill for went or how God will punish GNLD. I later settled for the latter and told whoever cared to listen that once they see people sitting down in clutches in any interview center, they should leave immediately and send 'God Punish You' to the person that reached out to them. 🤬

Now that I think of it, God will still punish them 🤬
I dey roll for ground with laugh oooo

Lol. At least you've not been deselected on the ground of not clapping during an interview session grin grin. I guess My number was among number randomly picked online, I received their message and I set out for it. Similarly to your suspicion on the kind of building, it was a story building and this said firm uses the down stairs. I met other candidate curiously waiting to have a go at the opportunity, to cut short, we were told the interview had two sessions, aptitude test and oral interview. After the written test, we were all ushered into another part of the building, where speakers, sound system and laptop have already been arranged for the unknown session. By then, it started becoming clearer to us that the man who anchored this session was a motivational speaker.

He started by telling us to strive to become a capitalist instead of looking for a job under anyone. He then ask us to clap for their company that through the clap, he would trim down our numbers. By this time, I was already down emotionally, I didn't have the same faith and commitment I had before getting to the interview venue. Invariable, I felt to the one's he was able to discharge because we couldn't clap very well. Will clapping be part of our duties? But what I could clearly deduce was that it was going to be a marketing job, where we would be deploy to hawk medicine for people with target.

The experiences we've acquired over the years as a job hunting man is not a child play, all for nothing, it's not easy to build something and become something in this life with

Meet on Facebook, next day she showed me a picture of boy she claimed is her son named Elias and that the husband died in a motor accident in US. She told me she loves my Facebook picture that we need to become friends. I accepted, she promised to send me a new set of laptop and iphone from New York, I agreed and thanked her, next day someone called me and said he was at Apapa worf in Lagos and that there's a package gift for me from New York, that I should come with anything for identification and reclaim my gifts; and while coming, I should come with #47,500 which is a processing fee. I said ok! This guy started call me with various phone number that I should contact Mr Williams to get my gifts. At a point, I told them that am at Silame LGA, SOKOTO STATE, they called and said I should pay to Mr Williams through transfer so that they can waybill the item for onward delivery via bus company transporters. The level of calls my phone received that day was historic. Toward 5pm that day I called them that I'm in Lagos for the gift collection that I need their address to come and that am coming with police officers from Panti. Till today they switched off that phone number till now.
