Yeah because it was 2003.
Try that now and get kicked in the ass.

I heard a young man got sh*t and k*lled while trying to preach the word of God to one Ex-Governor.

Interesting

As much as the connection thing is rampant, people still get jobs without knowing anyone...

See this life is all about challenge. If you challenge the challenges of your life, the challenges will pave a way for success testimony.

this is even 2003

In 2003 we still regarded one another as brothers and sisters. But Nigerians of today, particularly the younger generations, are totally different. Nigerians of today who are from the same state are capable of discriminating against each other just because they do not come from the same town.

For instance, look at what is going on here on this Nairaland forum. If a post appears on Nairaland today that a Yoruba person committed a crime in the UK or anywhere else, you will see that the Ibo and the northerner people will start to do name-checking. The same thing goes when an Ibo or a northerner man commits a crime somewhere; the Yorubas will quickly start to say all sorts of things to these people.

Nigerians of today are terrible. The only thing that matters to them is money.

Opportunities like this only come up once in a blue moon ..... He's certainly one of the few luckiest dudes during that era .........

These days,even to meet your ordinary ward councillor face to face,you may up needing to pass through alot of protocols first .

Bros this kind opportunities still happen. It takes audacity and faith.
I did something similar years ago. Mine wasn't a job. I was broke and hungry and showed up at a wedding event uninvited as a Mo gbo Mo ya. If I can do that for a wedding party what makes you think someone else can't go to the Secretariat and seek the audience of Governor Sanwo Olu?

True.
That is why we all need to just try.
You wont lose anything by giving a try.
The worst case scenario is to get a NO which is no big deal.

My very good friend Daniel, got his major breakthrough in life via a job with SHELL/LNG.

He just finished his attachment.
A friend saw an opportunity and told him about it. My friend said, na lie, he knows he cant get the job, that those guys already know those they want to employ.
That his friend prevailed on him till he applied.

Long story short.

Daniel got the job.

He has been doing well since almost 25 years now.
Baba has been travelling form continent to continent like person wey dey go from Lagos Island To Lagos Mainland.

This is why I use everything in me to resist anyone with that useless .mindset of "No point applying, they already know whom they will employ".

I will keep trying.
I will keep showing up.
Till I lay hold of that thing i desire.
I am on my way there.

You already failed when you dont try.

Lamba!

It was your lucky day . God was passing by then .
Many have landed in jail for the same audacious move for suspicious moves against the seat of government and an attempt to bo*b the govt house allegations leveled against them.

Grace speaks and God helps those he wishes to.

Omo na before oh. To see governor now be like you wan walk through the gates of heaven. So many protocols to pass through.

Cmanforall:
From what he wrote, this happened during the first term of return of democracy. Then nepotism wasn’t as it is today. Imagine security taking you into government house without an appointment today

Money just start to dey flow that time. No be now when money don dey their hand well well.

Lies; believe social media at your own peril. Firstly, not very many Nigerians owned a computer to become self-taught computer literate in 2003. Few people who were literate were very rich or children of the rich who owned a computer then or had the resources to go to a cybercafe and buy time; either way, they were still among the rich Nigerians. Secondly, in 2003, no poor man would wake up one day and walk to the government house to look for a job if he had not been referred or had someone in the government house.

Let him not sound brave or courageous; we know he was privileged.
I rest my case.

Fear is worse than death.
Many things happen in Nigeria to those who dare.

As a young lad, I got my admission from the JAMB Registrar himself. I walked into the office and he was surprised at my audacity.
I walked home that day with my name shortlisted in ABU-Zaria Admission list. For someone who had never been to the North, it was
quite a challenge but turned out great. You got to have guts!

He his not advertising you to go to government house and do the same thing he did many years ago, His story's summary is simple, have the audacity to take risks and leave your comfort zone. Change is impossible without action.

Don't mind them, they won't take the lessons from his experience, instead they will be picking holes and giving excuses before even trying anything.

That was under Orji Uzor Kalu's administration. He was an easy going Governor. His Chief press secretary was a good man then.

True, you can't just walk into a government house and ask for a job anymore 😂. But the lesson isn't how he did it, it's that he did it. The principle is 'shoot your shot.' These days you can respond to a government officials tweet and follow it up with a DM and also it doesn't have to be a government agency. Just know that the hustle remains the same, even if the method changes. Never think you can't.

[quote author=Konjiboii post=136776604]This days you no fit even reach govt house gate, and the mere mention of governor dss don carry you.


Abi ohhh?!!.

One young man was killed at the cross rivers government house gate for attempting to reach and preach to the governor a few months ago.😭

[quote author=UkoAnnang post=136776615]

Back then in 2003 there was a little sanity in government comparing to today

I won't advise anyone to pull this stunt today cos you may got shot by APC DSS mounting the gate.

YESSO!!!.
They killed a young man in calabar a few months ago.

Government House is even too far. To see hotel owner without appointment today is waste of time and effort.

I hope you pass on the 'confidence' teaching to your offsprings too.
