Luck plays a big role in our everyday life. That is why when we pray, we ask for favour. As long as the outcome depends on man, you need grace.
Years ago, somebody went for an interview. He complimented the interviewer that she smells nice and she took offence. That was how he lost the job. Someone else could have smiled and that would make the difference.
I know someone that went for a job interview and was asked three questions. He answered two but didn't know the last one. He responded with "I'll get back to you on that." The interviewers teased him with "abegii, you'll get back to me when, how?" Then she added "let it not be that I'm the one that failed you. There are many stages of this interview. You have passed this stage, you'll meet the higher-ups next. Good luck." That is luck. Religious people call it grace.
Somebody went for visa interview without his bank statement that people are always desperately filling up(even if they have to borrow) to show proof of fund. The consular officer asked him where it was and he said it was there. He pretended to look for it and feigned anger "it is supposed to be here. How could my assistant forget that? You know what? I could bring it to you later today or tomorrow morning." The consular officer who was looking at him told him not to worry and gave him the visa.
I went to Corporste Affairs Comission in 2019 and the lady that attended to me saw my hands and her eyes lit up. "Do you wash with those hands, do you do anything with those hands?" I didn't understand at first until she said they were pretty. That was all it took for someone looking angry and tired to attend to me nicely.
Some people have gone to places to seek favours, and the uniqueness of your name is interesting to the person. It could be that their child bears same name and conversation would switch from why you came to "You have a beautiful name. Do you even know what it means? My child bears the same name." Gist don start and whatever you came for, you'll get it.
Somebody went for the final stage of an interview, which was with the MD. Oga was watching ball and his team, Arsenal, were winning 5-0. The man was in a good mood and just asked him about football. He got the job. Imagine Arsenal were losing 4 - 0.
Some of you have given your CVs to your uncles and father's connect, but till tomorrow they have not gotten back to you. On Twitter here, somebody can just like your vibe and ask you to bring your CV. Then your own helper will be the one updating you on the progress of things.
During my Msc dissertation presentation, which was online, my laptop decided to go off. I took my cousin's laptop and logged in to my portal to continue. My supervisor was waiting. I apologised and she smiled and said "No worries." I could have logged in and she had disappeared for lunch and failed me for being unserious.
You could go out in Lagos wearing your University sweatshirt and somebody would wall up to you with "I schooled in Loughborough too. Pleasure to meet you. Why are you here?"
Sometimes, all it takes is your smile. It might even be your looks. Your disposition just put the person in a good mood and they are happy to help. Once it involves man, you need luck in life. You can't be too prepared for grace. It just happens.
@wemabank@palmpay_ng If this funds is reversed, how do I recover it. I have already delivered my product, and I gave you @palmpay_ng all the proof you needed about the transaction. So, I don't know why the funds should be taken back instead of unfreezing it.
I'm currently experiencing same issue with @palmpay_ng. @palmpay_ng has been too slow (even after I've called the customer service, sent them a DM here on X and WhatsApp) to rectify this issue, as my money has been frozen. @palmpay_ng claimed I received the money during a glitch
It has been over 96 hours that @palmpay_ng unjustly froze a certain amount in my bank account with no substantial thing to hold on to claiming a glitch happened from @wemabank on the 5th of January causing the latter to escalate it & temporarily hold my account.
@wemabank@palmpay_ng Now @palmpay_ng sent me a form to consent a reversal from my account. They failed to indicate the exact account the funds will be going to, as @palmpay_ng has always mentioned I received funds as a result of glitch from @wemabank, meanwhile I had no business Wemabank...
