In other news, Speed Darlington has officially entered the recruitment business, and the applications have not been what he expected.
The Nigerian internet personality and musician recently revealed the unusual requirements he wants from a personal assistant who will also work as his house help. In a video shared online, Speed said he wants someone who thinks like him and is essentially a "reflection" of him.

He said the person must be under 25, preferably between 20 and 24, unmarried, and without children. He also wants someone who has a NIN and driver's licence, adding that being able to drive would be an advantage. Speed further specified that he wants a "soft boy" with smooth skin rather than someone with a tough appearance, explaining that he does not want a bodyguard but wants someone who can be "gallant" when necessary.

According to him, the person should also be willing to help him if he gets into a serious fight, saying he wants someone who would be ready to stand by him. He added that the successful applicant would assist with housework after shows and would be paid ₦100,000. He also expressed frustration over his difficulty finding a suitable person, claiming that some people he contacted for interviews failed to show up after making arrangements with him.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.
Speed Darlington's inbox is reportedly full of curses is not because people are angry about the job requirements; it is because he forgot to include the location of the interview in his post. Hundreds of applicants have been sending messages asking where to show up, and when he finally replied with "Lagos," they asked for the exact address. He then told them to "figure it out," and the responses have not been polite. His inbox is now a mix of job applications, insults, and people wishing him luck with his "soft boy" search.
