Lol, you see why I said you're funny?
If you don't give out your number, It is your business. Mary gave out hers so that they can reach her, and you're here fuming and asking why they should have contacted her through that means.
Whatsapp is not official?
grin grin grin So it is Gmail that is official, or Yahoo?
Who made such rule? Do you have a company? So how do you decide what social platform should be used to pass information?
Is it part of or against the law?
So what is wrong about it that people of this country are normalizing?
If you don't respond to their calls, does it affect anyone else or you who applied for it? grin, or are you some highly sort after, special personnel that they'd have a problem not employing? grin grin abeg.
Ok

Lol, this guy, you're funny sha.
I don't know what you're feeling like.
If you don't respond to greetings from unknown numbers, that's your business. No one cares. cheesy And this is not the case. When you drop your contact because you're looking for a job, you don't turn around and tell your interviewer or whoever that they shouldn't have contacted you through that same contact you made available to them, neither do you blame them for greeting you first or not. If you can't respond to greetings, I hope you keep that same energy through out your life. It's your business.

Next time tell Mary to prove stubborn and question them on how they should have contacted her. Then maybe you can give Mary a job yourself, after series of rejection. cheesy funny guy.
Lol. She has already been offered several jobs.

Lots of people are trying to reach out to her all over social media.

I do not give out my number for an employer to engage me on WhatsApp. It's not an official form of engaging anyone.

We always find a way of normalizing what is wrong in this country.

If I don't respond to your calls, send a mail, and if I don't respond, move on with other candidates.

It's that simple.

You definitely don't have a point.
If you're in support of her attitude come out and say it. No one will beat you.
You missed where I said he has to confirm who he's talking to first.
Reason why he called her name after saying "good evening". Common sense will let you know that it's someone who probably knows you that's texting you.
Different people have different approaches when it comes to starting a conversation.
If you think someone must introduce himself and all that before you respond to a simple "good evening" that's your own attitude and it's your choice. That's why I said you are not different from the Mary, only that the Mary is dumb.

Greeting someone first and answering back won't kill you. It's not as if the person won't introduce his/herself later on.
So as it is, only one person is at fault here. And whoever blames the guy obviously supports the lady and is as rude and manner less her. Simple.
You can keep your opinion and attitude, but I won't be the one losing opportunities due to my attitude.
We're having this conversation because the girl in question is a desperate job seeker.

If the HR person in question was engaging a top client or so, would he just drop a "Good Evening" and expect a response? He'd obviously have introduced himself and gone straight to the point.

A simple introduction wouldn't kill anyone either.

It's a formal conversation for goodness sake and formal conversations have little or no room for salutations.

I personally do not respond to greetings from an unknown number until after introduction and I don't give a hoot who that person is cos I'm not desperate for anything at the moment.

We all have our different approaches to things and I'm fine with you having a different approach in situations like this.

Sera!!

Mr Emmanuel was not wrong for starting the conversation with a "Hello, Good evening Mary". Read that 100 times till you understand.

And how in the world is he supposed to introduce himself when he's supposed to confirm first of all that it's actually Mary he's chatting with? undecided
Did you even read the full story where he said he tried calling her 3 times and she didn't pick, only for him to try maybe he can reach her on whatsapp? So why should he introduce himself when he doesn't know if that whatsapp contact belongs to Mary?
Think!
Typical Nigerian mentality. undecided
Still doesn't make sense to me.

I work in a customer service team in a bank and once we place a call to customers, we first introduce ourselves before confirming the name and identity of whoever we're speaking with, so your above statement isn't valid.

I personally do not answer whatsapp greetings from an unknown number until after they introduce themselves. I'd just read your 'Hi' and 'hello' and ignore you till you have sense and introduce yourself. I don't even want to care who you are.

I'm not supporting the girl. she was rude quite alright but the man has his share of the blame too.

Inform herhuh every organization has a different way of doing things, that’s their own way... even in my little firm, I do that too and trust me ladies always fail.. still wondering why is it always ladies??
There's a standard procedure to things like this.

No professional firm in Nigeria would engage you on behalf of the company via WhatsApp.

The girl was rude yes, but the HR guy has his own share of the fault too.

I'm not comfortable exchanging pleasantries and greetings with an unknown number. Just introduce yourself and go straight to the point. it's that simple.

Hu and 5n , Jesus what are these generation learning ? I think Emmanuel is more wrong, no proper structured company send messages like over WhatsApp, it must in an official mail, it already tells that its a small company, also introduce yourself. Playing Devil's advocate, it's normal for ladies to have intrusive messages or even fraudulent messages or insistent toasters.
On Mary's side, when engaging with anyone you should always be professional and courteous. You never know who you might be chatting or talking with. It causes nothing to ask sorry who am I speaking with ? and if it doesn't go that far as you want, don't reply. Someone with that type of attitude especially with poor spelling. I wouldn't hire such to talk with client esp with that attitude. All these will have been simple if Emmanuel did a proper introduction. They are both wrong sha and Emmaneul was unprofessional also.
You're one of the smartest persons on nairaland.

Typical Nigerians just rush into making emotion based comments without actually looking at things from both sides.

Both parties are at fault.

U are a joker
Feminism is about making women greater than men and wit the illusion of equality they are making women feel like they are together and have been oppressed for centuries

But women just like men have issues and I'm always happen seeing two women bash each other than seeing two men bash each other
Just when I thought I was having a matured and meaningful argument with you, you resorted to using derogatory words.

Do have a nice day Sir.

Feminism gives that illusion that it's fighting for women's rights,that all women are equal and they won't have any issues watsover as long as they are together

Hope u grab nah
Feminism has no correlation with togetherness of women or women not having any issues with themselves. You're the one linking two different ideologies together.

Feminism is just simply an advocacy for equal opportunities for women like their male counterpart..

Anything else you're adding is your own ideology.

Business › Re: Banks Charge Customers For Failed Transactions by Tokkson: 5:20pm On Nov 20, 2020
Globad:
How is the country wicked for this?

Shouldn't a dud cheque or a failed transaction come with charges or a penalty? What of the charges incurred by those two processed it? Who will pay?

If you don't have enough balance in your account, don't issue a standing order or direct debit, or cancel the one you have issued.

It is irresponsible to issue or sustain a direct debit on unfunded accounts. It's also criminal if it's for a service that you have already enjoyed.

On this one, I don't see why Nigeria is a wicked country as you have said unless you're willing to educate me on it.
So all failed transactions are intentional or as a result of not having enough balance in your account?

What happened to failed transactions due to network disruptions?

kilonshele101:
please read the post again.

don't you see where he said charging points will be created across the city.

meaning even if you don't have light and you can't afford to buy a generator. you can always go to the charging point where there's going to be constant light to charge.

of course people are going to be paying but it will reduce the over dependent on oil price by motorists.

even if you're going to be using generator, instead of buying fuel for both your car and gen. you will only be buying for generator. then use your generator to charge your car and for other things.

this will lead to relatively decrease in demand for petrol which will force the market to reduce the Price.

economics101

sometimes always try to look at the big picture..playing devil's advocate all the time won't do any good
You'd buy much more fuel than you'd ordinarily have bought prior as you'd need to turn on the Gen much more than you'd ordinarily have.

Everything would still balance themselves out in the end.

Nigeria has no business with electric cars for now. Enough of the eye service.

We're still tackling the very basic issues.

MERCHANDISER:
Donald Trump has made everything non_western evil.
We need to sit down and look at it logically.
Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US
has never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time
they're were technically supporting BH by blocking every
opportunity to access weapons. Whereas, the same US
has been building sophisticated millitary bases all over
Africa with several billions of dollars even all over islands
in Africa. In a continent struggling to provide as basic
thing as clean water, road, edu, etc. In term of
infrastructural development, US hasnt built anything
tangible anywhere in Africa despite her big economy and
influence. On the other hand, China is building projects
across Africa from electricity to train to Airport, roads,
scholarships to Africans, etc even with their own money.
Let's say we can't
pay and they take over them, who would still be using
those infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them
here, so if we can't pay back and they take over them
these things would still be in use by Africans and improve
quality of life, just like every private business. US/Trump
that everyone is supporting call Africans all kinds to
unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of
African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we
do. The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet,
western media still find their ways into the hearts of
Africans to hate Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake
pastors joined this brainwashed citizens. Look at China,
how many times have they tumbled African govt? How
many nations have China invaded in Africa? How many
times has Chinese embassy criticize our local affairs? Etc
New York started have underground train in 1809, that's
200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started
booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything
technology they have to us, that have improved our lives;
From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom,
Roads, scholarships, etc Africans must sitdown and
think. China is not your enemy
You haven't worked for a Chinese man before.

If you have ehh, you'd hate them with passion.

An average Chinese man literarily sees Africans as slaves.
