A Nigerian man has lost an attractive job due to his word of endearment directed at the employer during the interview.


The job was reportedly meant to see him earn N200k if he had been successful, however his attempt to be informal caused him the offer.


This is according to controversial blogger and investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo in a recent post via her Twitter handle where she shared the story of how a man lost a N200k job in Lekki for calling the boss ‘uncle’ during interview.

Kemi Olunloyo wrote; “A man lost a N200K per month job at my brother’s company in Lekki. He was the best qualified candidate. He lost the opportunity simply because he called my brother “Uncle” during the interview. Stop addressing people with titles you feel comfortable with. RESPECT”

Why should you call your interviewer Uncle for goodness sake, is he your Uncle?

Uncle doesn't sound smart in that context nau

And those of you that call addresses everybody as "Dear" , continue

Mtcheeeew nonsense

You don't want to employ him period!
"Uncle" don't worry, God will give you a far better offer.

" He was the best qualified candidate " The loss is a two way one!

it doesn't mean? Is the man his uncle? Does it not occur to you that he is trying to patronize the interviewer. Your interviewer is not your uncle and don't address him as such.

are you get partner in crime?

Why in the world will you refer to you're employer as your 'uncle'?

That is not smart at all, very degrading! If I be your employer, I'd sue you for defamation.

Your employer is never and can never be your 'uncle'.

Let's get some things right for once!

nope I'm not. truly some are scammers while some are real. but that does not mean anybody that ask for help online is a scammer.

Just curious why the added word "attractive" to the job in the opening thread title. is it the N200k or that the job itself is so amazing?

Meanwhile, you don't use informal words/ tittles in a formal environment. It's simply wrong and should be stopped!

People always making life hard for each other.
