On Sunday 05/08/18, around 7:30 pm, a family made a break through discovery of
a strong Ijebu Juju that the Ijebu landlord had used to tie them on one spot,
where they were making no progress, sicknesses, death and infirmities were
the only recurring thing in their lives.
As the man, wife and son reclined on the pavement of the veranda in front,
the wife saw some threads poking out of the ground, from the impact of
erosion; she playfully pulled, revealing a strong Ijebu Juju; a tin
y pot weaved round with white threading, placed by the entrance
door, whereby every person entering or leaving the house must pass over it.
It was surprises, curses and thanksgiving mixed together as the
family recollected that the last Redeemed church Pastor that left
the apartment eventually lost his wife after series of unexplained
sicknesses and fainting spells, and that they too had gone through
a 5 year long drought, poverty, sicknesses and violence from Niger Delta Ijaw boys.
The family eventually burnt the Juju and are keen on relocating from
Ajegunle Ikorodu. It is celebration times for them. Praise God somebody!!!

Tip: If you’re attending an interview, here’s one question you can’t escape. and it usually comes first.

And round off with the future – why you’re really excited about this opportunity.
Answer: “I’m currently an Accounts Officer at GTBank, where I manage the accounts of some of the bank’s top customers. Before that, I worked at KPMG as a graduate trainee for 2 years. My experience there really enhanced my analytical and problem solving skills. I’ll love the chance to advance my career in the Oil and Gas Sector, which is why I’m so excited about this opportunity with the Petroleum Training Institute.”
2. Interview Question: What do you know about this organization?
Tip: This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. As soon as you’re invited for an interview, it is expected of you to find out as much information you can about the company. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players (The Founders/ Owners), when was the company established, what services or goods do they produce, where is their head office, branches located, what is their mission statement, vision?
Answer: “The Petroleum Training Institute is a federal government owned tertiary institution established in 1973 to train indigenous middle-level manpower to meet the labour force requirement of the Nigerian oil and gas industry. The motto of the institution is “For skill, service and progress” and the current principal is Mr. Joseph Orukele.”
3. Interview Question: Why do you want to work here?
Tip: To answer this question correctly, you need to do a little research on the company so that you can identify specific reasons why you want to work with the organization, and most importantly, be able to defend whatever reason you state, should the interviewer ask you to explain further. These reasons could be one or more of the following: The company’s pedigree, the reputation of its founders, admiration of its offerings (goods or services), company’s management philosophy, company’s recognition and awards received, core values, company’s market position and prospects.
Answer: “Well, the Zenith Bank’s pedigree is certainly one to be reckoned with. I would be proud to work for a company with such a long history of leadership in the industry.”
4. Interview Question: What experience do you have in this field?
Tip: Speak about what you’ve done in the past or what you do in your present job that is related to the position you are applying for. Here you can also include free services you rendered to religious or social organizations, friends and relations. If you do not have any specific experience, get as close as possible.
Answer: “From the job description, you’re looking for an individual who can take proper charge of your financial records. You also need someone who is computer literate and proficient with accounting packages. In my previous role as an Accountant with PZ Industries, I was responsible for maintaining the books of accounts of the company. I prepared the final accounts, balance sheets, profit and loss account, cash flow statement, and other management accounts without supervision. I did these and other related accounting tasks for over a period of 4 years using various accounting software including Peachtree and QuickBooks.”
5. Interview Question: Why should we hire you?
Tip: Don’t be scared to tell the interviewer that you are the best person for the job, but be prepared to back your claim up with what specifically differentiates you.
Answer: “You should hire me because I’m the best person for the job. Although there may be other candidates who also have what it takes to get the job done. Yet I bring an additional quality which makes me the best person for the job – my passion for excellence. I am passionately committed to producing results in all my endeavors. For example, in 2008 when I was given a target to generate 100 million naira deposit from customers, because of the passion I had for my job, I was the only one in my team who achieved the target.”
6. Interview Question: How did you hear about the vacancy?
Tip: No beating about the bush. Go ahead and state the source. If you found out about the opening through a friend or a relative, don’t hesitate to drop the name. Back it up by stating why you were so excited about the vacancy. Make your answer short.
Answer: “I heard about the opening through Bidemi, a childhood friend, but since my undergraduate days, I’ve always had the dream of working with your company.”
7. Interview Question: What are your strengths?
Tip: If you’re serious about your job search, this question won’t give you problems. You ought to have identified what your greatest strengths are, even before you start sending your CV out. Your strength could be your experience, talents and soft skills. Don’t make the mistake is listing strengths you do not possess or one that is not relevant to the position you’re applying for.
Answer: “I think one of my greatest strengths is my ability to solve problems. I look at situations from different points of views and I can perform my tasks under difficult circumstances. I also think my communication skills are top notch. I’m also good at negotiating deals and resolving disputes.”
8. Interview Question: What are your weaknesses?
Tip: Don’t say you don’t have weaknesses. Everyone has. So state one or two weaknesses but try to turn it into a positive.
Answer: “I’m too passionate about my job, and it affects my relationships.”
9. Interview Question: Why do you want to leave your current company?
Tip: Like the question about your boss, don’t say anything bad about your current company.
Answer: “I have spent over five years with KPMG gaining exceptional knowledge of the consulting industry. I am now enthusiastic to apply the knowledge and skills I acquired on the job in a different organization with new opportunities and challenges.”
10. Interview Question: What do you dislike most about your previous role?
Tip: Dangerous question. The interviewer is probing for things that you didn’t previously like and then they can ask a follow on question about why you didn’t like them. Beware of this trap. Turn the question round and give a “model answer”.
Answer: “I would like to avoid the situation in the last role where we had tight deadlines and 3 of my colleagues went off on long term sick. Although we achieved our targets it was only through hard effort, team-work and long hours.”
See how these answers portray you in a good light and turn a negative into a positive. Make sure you have prepared an answer otherwise you could see yourself stumbling!
11. Interview Question: How would You describe your former boss?
Tip: Don’t say anything bad about your former boss.
Answer: “My former boss gives me a high degree of freedom to get along with my job while always being there to assist with difficult or unusual situations – to lend his experience. He is a very hardworking and busy person but finds time to supervise his team, steering us in the right direction and helping us to achieve results we taught were impossible. I still maintain a cordial relationship with him.”
12. Interview Question: What lessons have you learnt from your previous job?
Tip: Another chance to talk about your successes but a truly open ended question. You should talk about your specific skills and experience that you can offer. Remember the skills need to be transferable to the new employer.
A closing statement like the one below will also add value, it will distinguish your answer and elevate your application
Answer: “I have learnt a lot of things as you can imagine. But one point always rings true. Everyone needs to be treated with respect, their opinion should be valued and they should be encouraged to contribute to the good of the organization.”
13. Interview Question: I see from your CV that you have never actually been in this role in any of your previous companies. How are you going to cope?
Tip: Firstly, this is an obvious weakness. Weakness mean risk to an employer and they are looking for re-assurance that you will adapt to the new environment.
Relate your previous experience to similar situations where you moved departments and had a new role or were faced with new technology which you had to learn quickly. Turn this into a positive about “how you are able to adapt to changing circumstances and have a flexible approach. How you pick up new skills quickly. How you enjoy the challenge of the ever changing technology.”
Try to broaden the answer by saying.
Answer: “we are all faced with a fast moving and changing environment which constantly presents new challenges. I have always been able to rise to these and perform effectively despite tight deadlines and little support.”
Importantly, then go on to list examples of similar experiences where you have demonstrated such skills. This should close the issue in the interviewers mind and paint a positive picture.
14. Interview Question: What is your typical working week in hours?
Answer: “I like to think I am an effective and efficient worker who gets through a full workload each week. However there are times when I need to work late and weekends and this is fine. This is often due to uneven demands on my time. I will put whatever effort it takes to complete my role.”
15. Interview Question: What do co-workers say about you?
Tip: Be prepared with one or two favorable quotes from co-workers. Yes! favorable because some people will never say good things about you. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will be perfect.
Answer: “Marcus Nkwocha, a co-worker at PZ Industries, always said I was the most hard working person he had ever known.”
It is as powerful as Marcus having said it at the interview himself.
16. Interview Question: How much do you expect to Earn?
Tip: Most cases, the employer had already decided your salary, so it won’t make any difference the amount you quote. Just make sure you are not too far from reality.
Answer: “The research I’ve carried out indicates that positions like this one pay N120,000 to N150,000 and something in that range would be acceptable to me as a starting salary.”
17. Interview Question: Describe your dream job.
Tip: In answering this question, lay more emphasis on what you can contribute to the organization rather than what you’ll gain.
Answer: “This is my dream job and that’s the reason I applied for it in the first place. I’m enthusiastic about the prospects of your organization and would like to be part of its success story by contributing my expertise and skills.”
18. Interview Question: Do you have any question for us?
Tip: Don’t make the mistake of telling the interviewer you do not have any questions. Asking questions shows that you have interest in the company. Also, don’t ask questions like “What does this company do?” or “How old is this company?” You are expected to know the answers to these questions if you’ve done your homework properly.
Answer: “If I’m considered for the job, who shall I be reporting to?”
Tip: If you’re attending an interview, here’s one question you can’t escape. and it usually comes first. The formula to getting the answer right is to start from where you currently are, then delve backwards a little bit about the experience you’ve garnered at your previous roles. And round off with the future – why you’re really excited about this opportunity.

Imo Blind Graduates Demand Jobs, Block Government House (Photo) - Jobs/Vacancies
Imo Blind Graduates Demand Jobs, Block Government House (Photo) - Jobs/Vacancies
Scores of visually-impaired graduates and students on Monday protested against government’s failure to pay bursary and provide jobs, blocking the main gate to the Imo State Government House in Owerri to air their grievances. The protesters, who alleged marginalisation by the Governor Rochas Okorocha-led administration, said the government was treating them “like strangers in our own state.” Displaying placards with various inscriptions which depicted their grievances, the blind protesters demanded an end to what they tagged deliberate abandonment and marginalisation by the government. The demonstrators, who assembled under the aegis of the Nigerian Association of the Blind, Imo State chapter, called on Okorocha to be responsive to their demands. They vowed not to leave the gate to the government house until the governor addressed them. Apart from the demand for special job opportunities for blind graduates in the state, the protesters equally demanded the immediate release of accumulated seven-year subvention arrears and bursary allowances for blind students in higher institutions. The protest caused gridlock on the road to the government house, as security men manning the gate battled in vain to disperse the demonstrators. The Chairman of the association, Christopher Kalu, said the state government had failed to build a special school for the blind which was promised the association seven years ago. Kalu said “We visited the governor in December last year to remind him of his promise, but we found out that the commissioners are not helping matters because several efforts to get the governor to implement his promise through his commissioners are not yielding fruits. “In January this year, we sent a warning note that if we come to the government house as a group on protest, we will not leave until our demands are met. “Now we are here. We will not leave until our demands are met. We are demanding a sum of less than N4.5m. We are demanding that our graduates should be given job opportunities in our own state. We are not demanding too much.” An unidentified government official was seen pleading with the protesters to leave the government house gate, but they refused. The government official said the governor had taken notice of their presence and was committed to making sure they were happy. In Kwara State, policemen on Monday used tear gas to drive off some protesting students from the College of Education, Ilorin. The students, who organised the protest to address some alleged shortcomings in their school, said their lecturers were being owed six months’ salaries by the Kwara State Government. They lamented that the non-payment of their lecturers’ salaries had negatively affected their academic activites and delayed their semester examination. The students sang songs and displayed placards with different messages, including, ‘Pay our lecturers their six months’ salaries,’ ‘Maigida, are you not collecting salary?’ The students, who started the protest from their campus, marched through Ibrahim Taiwo Road and the Unity area before heading to the state government house. Their march was, however, halted by policemen at the Unity Roundabout, who fired tear gas canisters to disperse them. The students ran helter-skelter, covering their faces after inhaling the gas. Business organisations, including banks, hurriedly locked their gates, while petty traders on the roadsides and passersby scampered for safety. The Speaker, Student Union Government of COED, Ilorin, Mr Ajamiu Mathew, told PUNCH Metro that five students had been arrested by the police. He pleaded with the state government to address the challenges of the institution so that academic activities would continue. But the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communication, Dr Muyideen Akorede, said the state government had released N125m to all state-owned tertiary institutions as their June 2018 subventions. He said, “The protest by students was unnecessary; government has made good its pledge to make money available to state-owned institutions.” The commissioner explained that the state government used to disburse subventions to the institutions on a quarterly basis but had changed it to monthly in order to assist the institutions to meet their monthly salary obligations. “With the release of the subventions for the payment of June salaries, the institutions now have only one month outstanding salary to clear, which is for July. The July subvention to our institutions will be released soon,” he added. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ajayi Okasanmi, said five undergraduates were arrested because the protest became violent as the protesters started destroying property. He said, “When the protest became violent, the police were left with no choice than to disperse the protesters, while five hoodlums were arrested. They will be prosecuted after investigation.” https://punchng.com/blind-graduates-demand-jobs-block-imo-govt-house/ |
