The young lady, identified as Lianna, reportedly traveled from Warri with her CV, hoping for a life-changing job opportunity.
Disappointment at the Event

Upon arrival, she discovered that the event was merely a briefing for the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows programme, which she had already applied for months ago. In her TikTok video, she expressed her anger and disappointment, stating, "I woke up early in the morning, I used my transport money wey I no too even get this period. I moved from Warri down to Asaba this morning... only for me to reach here, they are pitching Nigeria Jubilee Fellow. Did I not read about it before I came?"
A Wake-Up Call
The frustrated job seeker, who appeared dressed in a corporate outfit she made herself, noted that the experience was a wake-up call. She added, "Corporate world 100, Lianna 0. At the end of the day, na myself I go blame because I have a very beautiful handwork. I'm a fashion designer, look at me. I made what I'm wearing."
