Yes during the days of Oceanic Bank. I was employed as IT officer in 2005. I rejected the offer basically because i was posted to core North, an being a newly married person. My marriage was just a year plus then. And I know the accepting the offer will put a strain on my marriage. I would get entangled that is certain, so that fear of going polygamous that early made me to reject the offer. And I am happy I took that decision marriage is fine, family together and now on my own.

I won’t call mine “reject.” I got the letter to come for an interview. The day before the scheduled appointment, I went to view the venue to know if the company was worth my time. It was a rundown looking office. Out of curiosity, I asked the staff I saw there what job they were into. When I heard the dreaded GNLD, I went back home to sleep long into the next day’s afternoon.

I rejected one that asked me to pray in the morning. I knew about it at the final stage of the interview. That morning prayer is a trap. A psychological trap by human beings in the name of faith.

Everyone should pray in their homes and come to work to work, not for worship. It happens in some government offices where people bring their personal affair with God to the office. I don't need your outward showoff to know if you're spiritual or religious, I'll see your religion through the way you treat others and make decisions at the work place. Your power to reject is based on your convictions and how experienced you are. At a younger age, you may not see clearly but life will teach you some lessons and later in life you will start to reject what poisons your soul even if it pays you billions. Be grateful for mentors or parents who can protect you and tell you to flee from some traps. Life repeats itself.


When I think about life, what I see is that school never stopped. Adults just changed the venue of classrooms. People want to control you in different ways because they hold the keys to power and that is where the money is. If you don't work, you'll die so people lose their freedoms in the name of work. It's rare to see a class captain who respects you as a person not because he has the power to write your name on the list of noisemakers. The plantation never closed down cry

Authority is not power. Take note of that.

I once rejected May & Baker offer in 2014. I will never forget October 8, 2014, in my life!

That day, I was supposed to resume at M&B and a construction company.

Prior to the October 8 resumption, M&B told me I was going to be posted to the east, with a car attached to the offer as Medical Sales Rep, and that it would be contractual. Because I had never been to the east, I instead went and resumed at the construction coy here in Lagos and didn't take up the employment letter at M&B. I was ill-advised. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life and I am still regretting it till date!

After some years, I went back there to submit my CV, but didn't get called up.
