Read the hilarious story below:-
I had seen couple of people come up
online to complain about unemployment.
I took it so easily not until I graduated
and finished my NYSC that I began
feeling the heat of unemployment and
job hunting fire. Being a serious
unemployed in Nigeria Is frustrating and
intimidating.
My first ever job I applied for my NYSC,
after the application, with even my 2.1
grade I wasn’t even invited for any form
of test or interview. Na so I begin apply
oo and yet nothing positive showed
forth. One that pained me was the one I
and 4 of my friends applied for. four of
my friends were called and I was left
behind. That one pain me sote I began
crying. I felt intimidated, that I wasn’t
good enough. I felt dejected and down
casted. I felt I wasn’t up to my peers
standard. All that made me strong.
Late 2015, November precisely I applied
for a job in Abuja in an Auditing firm. A
friend of mine sent me the link to apply.
After applying, I was waiting for a
feedback till the end of December. Yet no
call or email, or even flash came from
them. Na so I just forget about them,
filling 2015 has gone with it.
On the 5th of January 2016 I visited my
friend of mine in Wuse. When I got
there he was having a mini indoor party
with his wife to be. They were playing
“Efejoku” by Lil kesh. They were feeling
the song. Immediately my phone rang. I
checked the number calling and it wasn’t
a number saved on my phone. I went to
a corner that I could be able to speak
audibly with the caller. I picked the call
and it was a female voice. She said her
name was Mabel and she was calling
from the auditing firm I applied for the
past year. Immediately I heard that, I
immediately composed myself. But I was
shocked the questions she started asking
me.
At first I thought it was a joke or
compliment but later, no be complement
oo.
Below was how our conversation went:-
Mabel—- Good afternoon. My name is
mabel, I believe am speaking with
?
Me – Good afternoon .Yes you are.
Mabel—- Am from *** Auditing firm.
You applied for one of our vacant posts
Me ——- Yes I did.
Na here the call come turn another thing.
Mabel —— Ehmm, what kind of song is
that ?
Me—- Song! Which song?
Mabel—The song at the background. Or
are you not the one playing that song
Then I realized she was talking about the
song “Efejoku” playing at my own end. I
never knew she was hearing it because I
was not close to the parlour where the
song is being played. I was quit far from
the speakers. I told her it’s my friend’s
place.
Mabel —- Why do you people like all these
kind of wordly songs?
Me no know wetin to answer her. I
thought she was calling to tell me that I
have made it and their company had
recruited me. I no come know the one
wey she dey talk about song.
Me—— *silence
Mabel—- It seems this is the kind of song
you like too, you and your friends?
Me —- Not at all ma, I …..
She cuts in
Mabel — Our company wants responsible
and sound people. Not mad men.
Me— (I didn’t know what to tell her) Am
in my friends place.
Mabel — Your friend’s place? You guys
stay in a ghetto area because we don’t
want employees to bring thugs and
ghetto into our company.
Me— No ma aaa oooo. Am not in a
ghetto.
Before I could finish she has cut the call.
I was very pained and angry. My friend
asked me to go to their office in Wuse
the next day.
The next day I went to their office. I met
with one of the staffs who asked me to
wait for one Mr. James na so I begin wait
till the Mr. James came. I explained what
happened the previous day to him. He
laughed and asked me to come back the
next day. When I came back the next
day, the Mr james directed me to one
Mrs Dammy. I guessed she was the one
that called the other day. But it was
unfortunate that the Mrs Dammy was
not around. I was asked to wait. Na so I
wait reach 4pm, work close.
I came back the next day, security no
come allow me enter. Few days ago I got
a text from an unknown number which I
believe it’s from the firm. The text read.
“ Sorry we can’t employ you. We don’t
employ thugs in * firm. ” The thing
pain me again.
That was how I lost this job.
