"Storytelling isn’t my thing, I don't think I am one of those guys who would send you on a wild goose chase with my story, helping you rack your brains. No I offer no help for your problems, or whatever that might beset you in this hall. All the rule on this board are strictly to be adhered to. A slight breakage in any, would cause me to throw you out.."
Those were the words of the hall invigilator where I was to write my test, I wondered what must have provoked him in lashing out those words on us.
Well before all this jamboree of varying and inconsistent use of words, different in meaning to us. Large crowd of appreciating individuals ( appreciating in the fact that they listened to the call for a changed Nigeria, with little concern for what they'd get in return) filled the building of the government owned establishment to undergo the planned exercise required for their intake.
All that was required was a O-Levels then you can imagine the number of turnout, and yes the supposed planned pay. By merely looking at the faces of those present for the test I could guess that ⅔ (two-thirds) of them were degree holders ( I could even swear that I saw a doctorate degree holder, lol). From discuss of some test writers who were Orimaic by there activities (I mean those who acted as if they owned the establishment, those who knew virtually every existing employee by name), I was told the pay is #15,000 monthly, plus daily and regular meals at lunch.
For #15,000, graduates like myself left the comfort of my home, swallowed the insults of the bus conductor I entered (a story for another day), listened as one short, fat, and yeye man lashed out words on me.
It made some of those orimas, some I learnt had undergone the programme before come to do it again.
As of the date of this write up, fifteen thousand isn’t going to be enough for 2 weeks for a Pro Manager (details done in this link). Yet people churned out in their numbers.
O my Country Nigeria, can't you see how blessed thou art.

ReplyDeleteAnd your write-up is ORIMAIC....LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe major problem in Nigeria is that 99% of student study all because they want to get a well paid job after graduation.....Hmmm....Shey na U put job there?
My advice is: if we can turn entrepreneurial(not with the whole mindset of making money but solving problem), we can reduce the rate of unemployed people in this nation and continent. Why so many back off after starting a business or company is because they are impatient and not ready to face challenges or take risks...
If your business IQ is in function, you can leverage on the JOB SEEKERS....
See how those that don't even have certificate or degree use the so-called educated but weak-minded individuals to run their companies.....
The secret is: they are CREATING the job and you're running around under the scourging sun in search for one to GIVE YOUR WHOLE TIME-LIFE to as long as you are taken.....(am not saying you shouldn't work to gain experience).
If you see the way some put their words all to impress an employer.....''I can work under PRESSURE with full exuberance and will do anything to see the growth of this company''.....Do anything??? No wonder some cheat just to retain their position or keep the job....Hey! Labourer with class! You dey die dey smile(exuberance ko).....Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop(4 dat one, U done enter am....Na d position wey U don put Urself o!)....
However, not everyone will become a creator of job.....That's the law of nature...It's inescapable! But if you discover you're a problem solver with ideas buzzing in your head, don't hesitate to join Millionaires Academy @: http://www.register.millionaire.ng/
Come shake the young billie(billionaire) later when you become a millionaire......LOL! Am not joking....Go ask Joke(a name)....
