During my Nysc in ilorin, I thought it would be nice to work for extra pay so I went to a tutorial and offer to teach the students. Ssce/jamb/ijmb.
He said the pay is #400 per period. I said no wahala.
I was in my full khaki regalia.
Next he said where is my CV?
I said CV for what??
He said they always review CV for any new teacher joining the tutorial.
Review my CV that I prepared for shell/chevron for #400 per hour.
I told him its ridiculous.
To my utmost surprise, he opened one drawer.... Mehn! See CV's like final year project. He gave them to me and told me those are the "Recent" submission.

Mehn and brethren, I went through the CV's and saw a guy, Graduate of Mathematics from Uniben, 2:1. He finished his NYSC 4years before the year I started serving. 4fucking years!!!!! I just handpicked his CV and told him to give this guy the job.

#400 per hour.
That Year, On that day, at that hour, I strolled home jejely.

I was invited for an interview at Kada Cinemas, but didn't go.

Have you ever gone for interview at GT Food?

Those ones do interview every Wednesday that year.

A friend of mine from Uniben called me o. Guy wetin you de do for house, come GT Food na, interview de. Just dress come. Na so I leave my PS wey I de beat my cousin o. Carry all my documents enter bus from oko central straight to ring road. From there to their office at Ekewhan road.

Got there, receptionist give me paper, say make I write my name then join the others who were looking at me like, this one wan come collect our job.

You know that kind of situation when you enter into an interview room and you just know you're over qualified for such positions available because of the type of people present.

That's how they gave us calculus to solve o. Me wey study philosophy for class, wetin concern me with maths? I was just looking at the paper until the invigilator asked everybody to submit.

At that moment, that kolo just enter my head and I went to him with my empty sheet and told the guy, if you can solve two these questions I will work for free for one month.

The guy look me finish say make I wait. Later showed me to their Oga who asked me for my qualifications, my experience and what position did I apply for?

After many talk the guy said they will give me a try but I will be following their bus to do catering services during weddings and obitos ( obito for Benin na short for obituary). And the pay was 18k per month but you'll get free lunch sha.

What turned me off was when he said since there's no ceremonies during the week, I'll be at uniben selling with their van.

Na so I just know say that PS will do me better o.

I've had many funny experiences o. But thank God for today sha

After my NYSC, I didnt want to stay at home so i got a job in a factory, there was no vacancy for B.Sc/ Eng so i accepted the SSCE/OND slot which is more or less a hard labour.
Pay was 15k/month but if you miss work a day
, they will minus 1k and if you come late, minus 2h. Work is Monday to saturday and it's 2wks day, 2wks night. Company pays half price your lunch (N50) and you pay half (N50), and monthly tax was 5h meaning your take home is roughly 13k.
There was this month I missed work for 8days starting from 1st and came late 2 times, after calculating what my pay will be if I work the remaining days , I just left and didn't return.

My friend had a 50kg ? bag of flour dropped on his neck from a storey by mistake. He complained for days. He is well built so it was nothing serious. Someone else would have landed in the hospital.

I had graduated and was waiting for induction. I needed money for clearance, suit and other stuff like mad so I was willing to do anything. After knocking on half the company doors in Apapa, my friend and I finally got "work" at Oxford factory; makers of the popular Cabin and Digestive biscuits.
Daily wage was 800. The work was evil. Six to six with a one hour break. Trying to keep up with machines for hours on end.
Every section of the factory was designed to kill. Packaging, mixing, stamping, name it. There was no end to it. The machines just wouldn't stop.
Work for 10 people would be assigned to three people.
Thunder fire those Indians and the Nigerians enabling them. Those bastards would still try to pay you less than the useless wage on one flimsy excuse or the other.
It was hell. The revolutionary in me always wanted to fight them. I felt so bad (still do) for the men and women would would still beg to do that dehumanizing work.
There was a limit to the number of workers needed each day so people were turned back when the limit was exceeded.
Come and see people's fathers and mothers begging to be enslaved. People dey suffer sha.

I will put a stop to all forms of slavery when I become Commander-in-Chief because that's what that was; and still is because I'm sure nothing has changed. I even hear it's worse in other factories.
Did I mention there was no limit to the number of biscuits you could consume

There was this very long ASUU strike. Decide to get a job seeing that it wasn't ending soon.

I saw a sign; FACTORY WORKERS NEEDED

Got there and discovered it was GNLD, after plenty talk, they came clean and told us it was actually a sales work and we'd become managers and manageresses (whatever that means) after only three weeks.

So, they offered a free training, and after plenty of motivational speeches, the trekking began.

We almost trekked the whole of Delta state and when we finished, the manager asked me how I enjoyed (God forbid bad thing) my sales experience.

Me: (already angry and with running nose from the trekking) It was great, I'll resume tomorrow

Oga manager called and called, I no just bother pick him call.
