My roommate and I spent the last 3 months prowling the streets of VI looking for a good place where we could do IT. To the extent that "waffi" boy like me now knows the streets of VI like the back of my hand. I had to buy new shoes afterward. Anyway, we learnt, the hard way, the way things work in Naija. How merit is relegated to the back seat and connections aka "leg" becomes the father of the day.
Eventually, thanks to a little bit "leg" and merit, I got a great place while he got stuck with one government establishment. Now I don't think I need to let you know how doing "government work" is talkless of when you are an IT student. Summary, my guy was itching to leave, he throws a couple of applications around; nothing special, same thing we did during our "terrible" 3 months. All of a sudden, he has 3 invitations; thats not even the shocking part, they are all for today, 2 by 10 am. Is that luck or what?
I'm so glad I already found a good place; ever seen a black man green with envy? The sight aint pretty I assure you.
Me?

That sounds like a comedic sketch or standup comedy routine in the making.

considering the fact that so many don't get that kind of opportunity- 3 job interviews at a time, yes, i do believe it is luck. a frustrating kind of luck lol!
