Nigerian man misses job interview
In his viral post, @kunle_pata explained that he had a job interview in Lekki, and his shoes were already dusty, so he stopped at a cobbler spot to have them polished.
However, things went sideways not long after due to a raid by task force officials at the location where he was having his shoes polished.
He shared:
"I had a job interview in Lekki that day, and by the time I got to Sandfill, my shoes were already dusty. Wanting to look presentable, I stopped by one of the Aboki shoe cobblers under the pedestrian flyover to get them polished. He handed me slippers to wear while he worked on my monks."
"Little did I know that task force officials usually raid that area. 💔"
As the task force officials raided the area, he discovered that the man he had given his shoes to had already fled the scene to avoid being arrested, leaving him stranded.
He added:
"Suddenly, there was commotion everywhere. Shouts, panic, people running in different directions. The task force had arrived and started arresting the cobblers. In the chaos, the man polishing my shoes ran for his life with one shoe still in his hand. 😭"

"That was how I stood there, confused and helpless, wearing slippers and holding just one monk shoe. 😫"
"It was supposed to be an important day, but it quickly turned into one of the most frustrating and unforgettable experiences of my life."
"Everywhere first blur."
Several individuals asked if he was able to finally attend the interview despite the setbacks, but he responded negatively:
"I didn’t. Wore the slippers back to the mainland instead."

Man fails bank interview over simple question
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian man went for a bank job interview and failed because of a very simple question.
Before the interview, he spent around three hours talking with other applicants outside the interview room. But none of them asked each other’s real names. They only called each other nicknames like Boss, Mama, and Chairman.
