Now I get the gist lol. “They are all failures, but one failure is better than the other”? Yeah, right!

I wasn’t comparing, I only set the records straight about the “Jonathan was betrayed” part of your post. He wasn’t betrayed, he only reaped what he sowed when he betrayed those that helped him into power.

I’m not a politician (Pdp or apc or whatever). But I can confidently say Nigeria was safer pre-2015 than now.
The likes of Buhari and his cronies orchestrated bokoharam to frustrate Jonathan and now the same bokoharam has boiled out of control.
Even as at that have you seen where any member of this government condemn the atrocities of bandits/ killer herdsmen or bokoharam?...
Did you hear where they condemned the shooting at lekki toll gate ?
Instead they were busy putting up propaganda here and there.
And yet you’ll come here and be saying “you were betrayed by Jonathan”
Can you even visit you village without thinking about your security?

wallg123:

You didn’t set any record straight. If anything you’ve broken the record

On a serious note my man. Can you tell us which President that wasn’t helped into power ?
Obj was helped , ya Adua was helped , Jonathan was helped and even Buhari was helped into power. That’s how politics works. You have to befriend everybody so as to win an election and after election you kiss them goodbye.

We can deceive others but we can’t deceive ourselves.

If you were referring to me (I’m only guessing because you did not quote me), I’m not from a village. And yes, I can visit my home confidently and safely. I’ll be making a trip soon, in case you want to instruct those anarchists and arsonists to lay in waiting. My state is relatively safe and peaceful, we do not burn government institutions and security outfits where I come from. We believe in the power of the ballot, and we are always patient until the next election cycle to elect or change our leaders. We do not call for arms or insurrection when things are not going our way politically. Nor do we threaten secession through killing and destroying. We wait, change, and change the change when necessary. That is the beauty of democracy.

That’s where you got it all wrong, man! Politics is not about betrayal, but rather about trust. If the bolded is your understanding of politics, I can tell you for a fact, that your political career will not last, if you have any. Politics, like most endeavours in life, is all about trust. I will say no more on this matter, lest I cross the line.

Nigerians don't deserve better than Buhari, we are who we are.

We are good at writing pages after pages of complain but lack the backborn to take action.

We will still vote in another useless president after Buhari

Just at my work place though I have quit the place.

One of the bosses there took I and some other black people (Nigerians) to be precise. Gave us the dirtiest hardest job ever, we worked and didn't go for the second break. We were tired, we murmured amongst ourselves that we were tired, I told them when I see the boss I'd ask him to let us have our break, when the boss came, I asked him, instead of these Nigerians to back me up, they kept mute and I thought to myself, if this guy gets mad and decides to fire, he could fire me easily without problem and probably paint me thr bad guy, but the many Nigerians never talked they kept mute.


This is really a problem.

Are you applying for professional jobs?

wallg123:

What types of jobs have you been applying for?.
You don’t just apply for any job you see cause of say u dey find job. Look for retail assistant jobs, part time shop assistant positions, receptionist, event staffs (for stadiums and festivals)or cleaning jobs.
You can post your CV here (blur out all your personal and contact details) so we can see where you are going wrong. Alternatively you can PM me

LoL.

I will reproduce a quote I stumbled on Twitter today.

It has always been a great temptation, for men of action no less than for men of thought to find a substitute for action in the hope that the realm of human affairs may escape the haphazardness and moral irresponsibility inherent in a plurality of agents.”
-Hannah Arendt

That mostly sums our 'actions' as Nigerians in the abroad.

Mrtush:
Thank you for the responds. I don't think the jobs i have been applying for are ''professional jobs''. I get most job update from indeed which some clearly state that no experience is required but still not getting the job.

Above all, keep at it. Don't get discouraged. When looking for a job, rejections come with the territory.

True talk. Persistence trumps all .

I received so many "[b]we are sorry" emails that it stopped bothering me after some time. It

TheGuyFromHR:


There was an extensive discussion of this issue on pages 587 and 588 of this thread. Go through those pages and see the suggestions that people made, starting from word-of-mouth/personal contacts/agencies (the likes of Blue Arrow, Reed and so forth) all the way down.

I know of a couple of students who just walked into a nearby supermarket and asked if they had some shifts available.

As someone else mentioned, you can post an anonymised CV here if you like. However you format it, make it precise and readable. Tailor it to the job you're applying for where applicable. Most of these student jobs are open to all, or are shift/zero hours, so detailled discussion of the size of the CAPEX one managed while working in procurement at Nigerian Breweries for instance should be left for roles where that makes sense. Leave out long talk.

If you're applying online for some of these shift jobs and have to include a cover letter, make sure it's drafted in excellent English. Keep it short too, that way fewer mistakes are made. And, strangest of all, be sure to answer your phone when it rings. Could be anyone. Scammers cant scam you simply because you answered the phone. You're a foreigner with a funny African name and a different accent, so don't compound your job market situation with a "Who is this speaking?" Always answer with a sharp-sounding "Hello. Good morning/afternoon." Wait for the person on the other end of the line, make them talk their own. Make sure your email address is professional - your. name@whatever.com. Leave out the sexydiva443@gmail.com type of stuff. And so on and so forth.

Covid has had one somewhat silver lining - the large number of jobs that have moved online/become remote. Customer service, all that type of thing. You can make up your 20 hours with some of those types of roles, all from the comfort of your home.

Above all, keep at it. Don't get discouraged. When looking for a job, rejections come with the territory.

MichaelUde:


Correct man.
My late father was a personnel manager, and he always used to talk about the torture of reading application letters in various types of English in those days and na so the man dey worry us to use correct English. Him no dey take letter-writing play. He gave us wey be his children wahala back then, but that legacy is paying off now.
