Even if he had not asked that question, I believed other races there would still going to ask cos it's not new to all the boards or individuals there.
no they won't cuz it can be flagged as stereotype and discriminatory, that's why they put the "house nigga" in front, as usual; to pollute the air.
for how many centuries will the heads of the negro descendants be knocked against each other by other races before common sense settles in??
it's a monumental disgrace undecided

Nothing wrong with what s/he said. Nigerians are up to too many scams and she actually did you a favour by informing you upfront.

That's how many Nigerians behave abroad whenever they find themselves in position of authority where they can influence the fate of fellow Nigerians.

way. Always hating on each other and trying to put down ourselves in front of others.
themanderon: 1:09pm On May 23
Very typical of the average Nigerian. Talking down on people he feels he is better than. Look at kemi shouting ban immigrants ban immigrants up and down forgetting she was also smuggled in as an immigrant.
Uncle Tom's and Aunty Jemimas everywhere.

Not a lie, Once bitten twice shy.

But still na man dey do man.

It is also true of most Countries on planet earth.

The Nigeria guy on the have a feeling of inferiority hence he could not defend but would rather single out his own Country on a subject that is a menace worldwide.

Secondly, his question has no value; he would still do his background checks regardless, it is not a good way to start a professional relationship.

My guess is, this must be some entry or mid level position, most season professionals would walk away if greeted with this type of opening servo on an interview.

He might as well asked him that, hope he is not one of those Yahoo Yahoo Nigeria boys or drug pushers since the news have that about Nigeria too.

The guy is a Kemi!

That's not the way it works abroad, at least in UK. That's discrimination and he, the interviewer could lose his job for asking such a question. If someone has Nigerian looking names, you can't still use it to identify them. By saying "those Nigerians", the interviewer has picked up on a group of people, even if his suspicion may be true and discriminatd against them. It doesn't look like he went through any HR training, Human Resources and Human Rights. That question alone has violated UK employment law. The interviewee can sue the company and win. E think say na Naija he dey. Foolish question. ITK

I take all these online stories with a pinch of salt. Let's all be cruising, ship go dock.
laws and reality are two different things. I have worked for multinationals based in USA and Canada. And can tell you regardless of the laws in place human bias/discrimination cannot be eradicated. There are jobs where an internal candidate has been chosen but they put the advert out there to waste the time of over 20 other people so as to met legal or company requirements. Can u prove it in court as one of those candidates? 😂

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

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.

This one you serious.

Non-technical IT jobs done cast! It's now strictly for white people. Obvious this is an interview for BA ,DA or ITPM. Guys get technical! SQL, Python, R, devops, front/back-end programming DBA.
JaskanFactor: 4:00pm On May 23
25 years in cooperate world tech sector in Europe, And then moved to work for myself from home.

I tell you this, Planning to do your career amongst other people in an organisation subjected to interviews and office politics is like planning to eat all your future meals in a dirty public toilet, as opposed to eating in your own dining table at home.

When the world becomes as immoral as it is now, who is going to tell you when its no longer safe to engage your delicate mind in a filthy very filthy cooperate world.

The people who decided the materialistic world needs to forever go into depths darkness , also took away the right to partake in much of public activity without getting a very raw deal.

The level of fulfilment you will get from working in an environment that you control is so great that it out weights almost anything anybody can pay you in their cooperate.

Find a job you can do from home, and at anytime of the day or night , we are in Armageddon now , you dont even know who is still human being that you are subjecting your mind to them in interview, some people just do interview to vampire your mind for their pleasure. But the office politics will make anything you experience at interview a warning that you missed.

The world is now too evil, and peoples minds and souls too corrupted to trust to do anything with people unless its from a distance , via some commutation channel you can switch off when they start spitting evil.

While those who run the world are taking society further and further into the depths of darkness, dont make the mistake of assuming that this has no cost in of what you and cannot do with people.

The amount of childish wicked evil rubbish, both racism, and non racism related office politics that i have seen, left me with great deal of shame and sympathy for the human race.

Better know this, if you give them your mind in the office, many years after you leave the cooperate world you will still be fighting off all the evil stress and bad energy inside your mind. There is more evil in the office by day than satanic ritual by night. Peoples souls are being murdered in those offices like some alien abduction body snatcher situation.

And even if you overcome all the dark energy, there, the amount of work you have to do to pay your bills is now too much for anybody to think straight , else you will be 65 before you know it and your whole life just ed you by while you were at work.

There are great mighty spiritual forces standing on the tip of your nose hiding in plain sight trying to get your attention to introduce you to eternal concepts, but you wont see or hear them if you have a busy body cooperate life .That is why owners of the world have people in cooperate, so that you can leave the world, without ever actually being here.

The office and everything that goes on there is a very very dark spiritual place and a very filthy place to take your precious mind, the human mind is too delicate to take to places like that.

I work a lot more hours self employed everyday of the week, but its a great deal of fresh air compared to the alternative. I am too enraged and having fun with the work am doing to even notice any fatigue from the work.

That is when i realise what is actually making people tired in cooperate world is not the work, its all the hate , stressful deadlines and unproductive competition.

Please i beg you, fix your accommodation to something very cheap , be brave enough to move back into your parents house, backyard or a remote place, so that your accommodation can be cheap enough for you to work from a place that is relativity safe from all the demonic activity in cooperate.

When the world condones evil this much, there is nothing no where that people come together to do stuff that is not compromised.

As for his comment about you a fellow Nigerian, to this i say, the best Nubian teachers about racism are psychologists by profession examples Dr Amos Wilson, Dr francis Welsin.
The psychology of a defeated people , cooperate world is for house niggers, and as house nigger he has to probe you more to show master his loyalty. You need to understand racism from psychology to protect you from racists who are really demonic energy vampires, and fellow niggers who are under mind control of the defeated.

And still on racism , i warn you to avoid working for oyinbo the sooner the better, they are very very destructive to anything a nubian builds . After so many years that i worked for them destroying my career , even 10 years after i stop working for them, in the house where i live they are still destroying the parts of my property they can get their hands on, cause this is thier fetish the Gothic barbarian fetish of the Vandalism.

the word Vandalism was derived from the name of ancient oyinbo tribe called vandals, back when they were not European, but goths from north Africa . When you see them destroy black people stuff for fun be it your property or your career, best know this is in thier blood, to vandalise. The spirit of the pirate Joker that goes around burning and looting for fun in fetish costume.

When you add the racist vandal and the house nigger complex , the cooperate world is a very raw deal for a blackmail who is also known as blackmale.

Work from home self employed, until order is restored to the world, else what ever you let them do to your delicate mind, you will be fighting off for the rest your life. The human mind is too delicate for that.

And should you decide you will give them double and play thier game, that is you lost, your body snatched by aliens, soul lost and you no longer a human being. The cooperate world is where people go to become non human entity.

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.

I won't say much. Just that wherever in this world, it's not everyone who uses the law as they would. However ignorance is no excuse under the law. It's this ignorance immigrants use to take advantage of each other abroad and it's this knowledge immigrants use to punish themselves too. Indians could report to the police when they have spousal problems but some of them choose not to, Nigerians may use it, some won't. wink

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.

See forget

About 2 years ago, I attended an interview in one very big company, nice role

My interview ended when I met this Nigerian person… na that interview stress me while the other oyinbos were much nicer and ed me to next stage… but glad I later got another offer in similar company…
Very wicked human beings… nigerians!!

This is very common among our people.. want to be the only black African in that company ,

This happened to me in the early days of my career. I went through 3 stages of interview. When I got to the fourth stage, which happened to be the final stage, I was to speak to the Director, which means he decides if to hire me or not. It was a Senior Level role. Unfortunately, the Director is from the part of Nigeria known for treachery and backstabbing. He was acting all mean and tough. He asked me very basic questions and I thought I have landed the job. Unfortunately, he made the decision for them not to hire me. This is a fortune 100 company I’m talking about.

UK employers generally have an obligation to prove they tested all candidates equally. In fact you have the right to request for your interview score sheets in any govt funded company.

A recruiter saying such statement is revealing his very own incompetence. The purpose of the interview is to measure the candidates's skill and experience via technical questions and case studies.
