There is a reason I am posting this in the politics section.
I attended a job interview today. It was a primary private school,initially I thought the candidates for the interview would be few bcus the school wasn't flashy and the pay was low. When it got to my turn,the heaster and another teacher started asking me questions about my qualifications and myself. I told them I am a graduate and I love teaching. A teacher entered and greeted the heaster, he replied and told him "season never start u na don dey get injury,season go long o". The other guy replied " u na go carry full squad still dey do escort". They continued making fun of their clubs. I found out the heaster was an arsenal fan and as a man u fan i ed the banter. We were making fun of our teams and laughing. Interview of 5mins turned 30mins.
Then it was time to teach the students. I performed well and explained things in detail. The heaster called me to his office and told me to resume tomorrow with a salary of 12k/month,when school resumes I will be paid 22k.
My advise for job seekers when going for interview.
1) you know the necessary things,go early,dress well.
2) try and relate with with your interviewer if you see the person as a free person
3) answer questions in detail.
My reason for posting this in politics section...
1) this suffering in Nigeria doesn't know anybody irrespective of tribe,everybody is facing hell. I had to go for this job because I needed to see money at least to feed.
2) we need to put aside our differences and unite to fight in order to have hope for this country. We are in a difficult situation,I had to feed on garri and sugar since Sunday. I had 1,000 I spent it on half paint garri,sugar and bread. There was a time that money will feed me well 5days.
3) if we keep quiet and allow this politicians keep riding us,a time will come when to eat will be for only the rich. The poor will be left to starve or slave for the rich to get crumbs
4) let's stop voting popular thieves because of tribe or religion. They will only invite their thieving friends to them on large scale stealing
5) before politicians use first tenure to perform then show their colour in their second tenure but now things have changed because now they have the formular to win election with/without the electorates. They just need two or three loyal men per state to help them rig election.
I am really pained that lot of people are suffering because of the foolishness of some people who are satisfied eating crumbs from these politicians.

Teaching is oversaturated though.

How are you feeding now and how will you commute/cope with work until pay day?

12k in this Nigeria. How many days would it last. Send your number let me send you small money,business hasn't been good.
Let me also give you advise and encouragement,my boyfriend then had to work in a factory for 25k. He had just finished uni. As he was working he was learning wall paper installation. It wasn't easy but he pushed through. Today he is doing well.
There are some graduate that will refuse to work for that amount. Even young boys will not agree to work,na scam dey their head.
