1. So I had been job hunting for over a year.

Walking up and down my state!
2. I had become a prayer warrior.

Going to church 4 times a week.
3. My mother had been running from pillar to post trying to help me get a job.

Like a headless chicken!
4. All those uncles that said “call me when you graduate” were nowhere to be found.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396063/nkem-owoh-hiding.jpg)
They had all disappeared. Professionals in the art of promise and fail!
5. I applied everywhere, to places I was qualified and otherwise.

Something will fall in place!
6. I even ran for election.

And lost, woefully!
7. That’s how all of a sudden I got a phone call inviting me for an interview.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396019/happy%20simpson.jpg)
PRAIIISEEEE GOD!
8. I first did my special celebration dance.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396051/Dance.gif)
As a Michael Jackson apprentice!
9. Then I started preparing for my interview.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1476209440/studying_zio7jy.gif)
Fail to plan is plan to fail!
10. I first spent 30 minutes ironing just the collar of my shirt.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1476210527/ironing_tzreu6.gif)
Carefully!
11. Then another one hour ironing the remaining part.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1476210513/ironing_2_v3iurn.gif)
I must shine.
12. I went over my CV and cover letter again.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1475065685/IMG_0764_mt529o.jpg)
Cannot miss anything before they think I’m a fraud!
13. Then went to sleep early so that I can be refreshed and renewed for my interview the next day.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1476102095/Sleep_woman_skuzdh.jpg)
Beautiful sleep for a beautiful me!
14. The next day I woke up early and made plans to to the office 2 hours before my interview.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473878476/wnlrxb2oqtpmgzoorqvo_nphhwb.jpg)
The early bird gets the worm!
15. Before I left my mother made me a nice cup of tea and prayed for me.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1475142346/THANK-YOU_imqe0r.gif)
Sweet mother!
16. After waiting for about an hour I was invited in for my interview.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396019/happy%20simpson.jpg)
Finally!
17. That was the beginning of my trouble.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396057/shock%20wow.jpg)
Na wa oh!
18. Everything was going well for the first few minutes of the interview.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1475065676/IMG_0111_llabhg.jpg)
This job is mine!
19. Then all of a sudden, my stomach started making one funny noise.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473348347/shock-gif_o7j54v.gif)
Ah! God don’t let my enemies disgrace me.
20. The interviewer was looking at me like:
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473195406/incredulous_f9k637.gif)
“What is this one?”
21. Before I could answer another question, one funny noise came from my stomach, followed by a strong smell.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1475065694/CGVAp8GU8AE7PyJ_ggn8a6.jpg)
Ahhhh!
22. My interviewer looked like he was about to pass out.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472390919/wuu2evmnvxju2qulasly.gif)
God oh!
23. I didnt know if I should pretend I had no idea of what was happening or start begging.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472658075/Leave%20me%20alone%20to%20die.gif)
What should I do?
24. After struggling for another minute, my stomach made another sudden sound followed by an even worse smell.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472396020/Cry.jpg)
Wow! So this is how my enemies set leg for me?
25. At that point my interviewer quickly ended the interview and opened his windows.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473327624/Cry_7_xueyzv.gif)
See disgrace!
26. I ran out of the office full of shame and embarrassment.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1475670111/shame_xfohm3.gif)
Is this my life?
27. When I got home and told my mum, she said “ah maybe it’s because of the detox tea I gave you before you left”.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473194649/what_vxcpti.gif)
What?
28. Needless to say I didn’t get the job.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473327621/Cry_2_hq89g4.gif)
Shame!
29. And I no longer trust anything my mother gives me to eat or drink before I need to go somewhere important!
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1473329037/no_9_pg9yiy.gif)
No thanks!
