In a recent viral Twitter post, popular Nigerian skitmaker Lasisi Elenu, known for his comedic takes on everyday situations, has stirred up conversations with a satirical comment on job interviews.
“I might just open a poultry and employ only goats 😡😡😡,” Lasisi Elenu tweeted, following the release of a funny skit that pokes fun at the absurdities job seekers face in interviews.
The video, which has already garnered thousands of views on YouTube, shows Lasisi humorously acting out a chaotic job interview scenario, where absurd questions are posed to the applicant, and responses become increasingly hilarious. In the video, a “goat” (played by a human in a goat mask) is the interviewee, bringing out the humorous analogy that job interviews can sometimes feel just as ridiculous.
“I’ve been to interviews where they ask you everything except what you actually know or can do. It’s as though they are looking for a goat,” Lasisi Elenu wrote, calling out the often illogical or confusing nature of certain hiring processes.
The post immediately resonated with Nigerians, many of whom have shared their own job interview horror stories in the comments. Some cited experiences where irrelevant questions were asked, or where they were told they didn’t “fit the company’s culture” despite qualifications that seemed to match perfectly.
This is not the first time Lasisi Elenu has used humor to spotlight societal issues. His skits often touch on topics such as bureaucracy, workplace struggles, and the often comical side of Nigerian life, which has earned him a massive following.
His latest post, which combines satire with a relatable sentiment, is a reminder that sometimes, humor is the best way to cope with the frustrations that come with the job hunt.
While it’s unclear if Lasisi is seriously considering opening a poultry business or employing goats, one thing is certain—his sharp wit and humorous commentary are likely to keep both job seekers and employers laughing for a while.
