UK-based Nigerian man shares his unpleasant experience with a fellow Nigerian during an interview.

During a Teams interview I attended today, one of the ists who was also Nigerian made a comment that left me feeling quite uncomfortable. He said, and I quote: ‘I hope you’re not one of those Nigerians who attend a one-month bootcamp, fabricate job experience on their CVs,

and then underperform once hired. We’ll be ing all the companies on your CV if you’re successful—are you sure you’re safe?’


Even though my CV is completely genuine and I stand by my experience, I felt disheartened hearing such a remark, especially coming from a fellow

Nigerian, and in the presence of an interview that included individuals of other races.

If you meet a fellow nigerian in an interview in a foreign soil, that may be the end of the road for you.

Nigerians are so evil to one another. This is from personal experiences and experiences of many others that I know personally

Nigerians!! Why??

The same whites that we say are racists are the ones that are best to meet at interviews, but meeting a fellow Nigerian, that particular Nigerian would be the one to stress you all out the most among the people in the

Arostar2023:


Because the Nigerian is aware of what you guys are capable of doing. Nigerians seems to have a perchant for impunity... That's what our politicians and civil servants taught us. If I am a HR person tasked with the responsibility for hiring, I will be extra careful hiring a Nigerian too. I won't be foolish enough to say derogatory things about any country or race publicly.

Please we aren’t talking of yahoo boys here…
We are talking of real professionals, with PhD, MBAs, Masters from Ivy League schools in the Us

And the job we are taking about ain’t freelancers oo. We are talking of high profile jobs that before you even get to interview, it means you are among the best..

Please update your perspectives please, not everyone is a low life

damoobaba:



Forget that, are Nigerians not evil in Nigeria? I head an organization HERE IN NIGERIA and I've seen how lazy and unconcerned Nigerians can be when you're NOT SUPERVISING their work. IF YOU'RE NOT STRICT, your business may be gone b4 you know it.

So, let the guy prove himself trustworthy and CAPABLE of doing the job.

You are probably supervising construction workers or Food vendors…
We are talking of multinational organizations here.. companies on 500 Forbes

OK ,



we are sure he asked others who came for the interview the same question ,




he was doing his job ,


don't forget that the people who employed him too ,will want to see how he will act towards you ,since you are from the same country.


and you don't know the company experience with their ex Nigerian workers.



so overlook his statement..as long as you are real with your CV

We all know the group of Nigerians who would rather break a ladder after climbing up with it than see another Nigerian use the same ladder.

They go to Rome and try to teach the Pope how to break bread and serve communion.

They want to be seen by the Westerners as the defenders of civilization and the gatekeepers of immigration. No one should have a port because they've secured theirs.

Nigerians abroad are a thriving community that build eachother brick by brick, sadly these set of Nigerians would rather use their bricks to stone those beneath them, than use it to build them.

Through the testimony of one, dependants were curtailed from travelling overseas, through the complaint of another, period of stay to gain permanent residence is now to be doubled.

They sabotage colleagues at work, serve as spies and render unsolicited negative s about their own kith and kin to managers....for no reason.
It's in them.

Any and everyone who lives anywhere overseas, would confirm that it is only one set of Nigerians that behave this way.
The unaccomodating landowners.

There's this attitude with Nigerians always trying to cut off the survival means of another Nigerian in a foreign country. Someone has already impressed in his interview but here you are clutching at the most fragile straws just to bring him down or disqualify him. Kemi Badenoch is already championing her own anti-black, anti-immigration nonsense. It has become a pattern.

Most Nigerian bosses thinks interviews is interrogation l.

God bless you Mr Brown. Nigg interviewed me while we were walking down a street. He said, you are hired. Resume on Monday. I was like WTF. He said that was the interview. We need to know the real person without a and chairs asking dumb question.

We just conversed and nigg knew this guy had scopes and was smart

Not a Nigerian thing though. A lot of people lie on their cv worldwide

One American woman lied on her cv to land a job in television. Of course she was underperforming well well. Fortunately, her superior found her 'gumption' irable and assigned her to other duties. The woman went on to become a top tv producer..true story

Tinubu must be feeling like god wherever he is. His impacts are really frustrating Nigerians.

Nigerian situation is now worst than before they met APC and tinubu.

He proved to his white ogas that he is current and aware of what many candidates are doing. Which will help him during promotion/performance evaluation talks. He owes you no loyalty.

A social media friend was part of the interview for a job i applied for in 2022. Na him ask me hard questions . I never got the job, i didn’t even chat him about it. Life goes on.
