During a Teams interview I attended today, one of the panelists who was also Nigerian made a comment that left me feeling quite uncomfortable. He said, and I quote: ‘I hope you’re not one of those Nigerians who attend a one-month bootcamp, fabricate job experience on their CVs,

and then underperform once hired. We’ll be verifying all the companies on your CV if you’re successful—are you sure you’re safe?’

Even though my CV is completely genuine and I stand by my experience, I felt disheartened hearing such a remark, especially coming from a fellow

Nigerian, and in the presence of an interview panel that included individuals of other races.

Because the Nigerian is aware of what you guys are capable of doing. Nigerians seems to have a perchant for impunity... That's what our politicians and civil servants taught us. If I am a HR person tasked with the responsibility for hiring, I will be extra careful hiring a Nigerian too. I won't be foolish enough to say derogatory things about any country or race publicly.

Forget that, are Nigerians not evil in Nigeria? I head an organization HERE IN NIGERIA and I've seen how lazy and unconcerned Nigerians can be when you're NOT SUPERVISING their work. IF YOU'RE NOT STRICT, your business may be gone b4 you know it.

So, let the guy prove himself trustworthy and CAPABLE of doing the job.

Sounds like de-marketing,but again it is what it is…
You can call it de marketing,but you can also call protecting the company,but two truth can coexist
