A video showing a massive crowd of job seekers who turned up for a waitress job interview in Lagos has gone viral and sparked reactions online.
In the short clip, hundreds of women who applied for the waitress position at a hotel were seen gathered outside the venue, patiently waiting their turn for the interview.
The sheer number of applicants created a scene that resembled a major recruitment drive.
The video has sparked discussions about Nigeria’s wxxsening unemployment crisis. Many netizens noted that the desperate turnout for even a relatively low-paying hospitality job highlights how tough the economy has become, with limited opportunities forcing highly qualified individuals to compete fiercely for basic positions.
Others expressed concern over the broader implications, pointing out that such scenes are now common across the country as inflation rises, businesses struggle, and graduate unemployment continues to climb.
Some users lamented that "even waitress jobs are now heavily contested,” while others called on the government to create more sustainable employment opportunities for the country’s youthful population.
