Nigerian lady begs for a job
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady, Egbohaghe Victoria, took the bull by the horn and showed that she is not going to be giving up anytime soon.
On Tuesday, February 9, Victoria took to the street of Abuja with cardboard that reads, "Please I need a job".
On the placard, she spelt out her qualification, saying she has a BSc in international relations. Underneath that is her email. Atop the cardboard is a plea that she really needs a job.
