But I love Absu. My alma mater.

Lecturing jobs is the only job that politicians don't submit the names of their allies and side chicks.
Cuz it's mentally demanding.

15 copies actually for what?
What would 15 copies solve that one copy cannot solve and the others CC-ed in a mail?

The same mentality of submitting projects in sch is in the recruitment.

They must always make everything look stressful!

This recruitment na for Igbos people. Make other tribe no even bother to apply
