If it were to be cbn firs or nimasa .. Den you will see Nigeria showing its true colour...

Like the permanent demons resident in Aso Rock and our various government houses which makes many of them antisemitic to the people that voted them in, likewise there is a far greater demon, that Is attracted like a bull in a China shop, to the blue/black and black/black uniform of our police men and women. I hope you new recruits, will police with good and clear conscience.

Congratulations to you OP, but every year, and on all forms of recruitment, there is always that 1% who had no godfather backing them, yet scale through.

Doesn't mean change has started with the Police.

well said bro!!! God has finally picked his call n others that made it witout knwin any God Fada that's doesn't mean thr wasn't man no man shii, he shud b gr8ful 2 God........

Things are changing. The only change short-sighted people want to see is meat in their soup. I pity such people.

I would have supported the Op's opinion if they hadn't cut down so much based on age. This is govt job, not some private companies or bank!

Tho, I still know someone that got the job and still far above 35 years of age. Apparently he lied about his age, which some of us cannot do!

Age should have been from 40 below!

My opinion tho!


Congrats to those that got the job

Till I see someone that was selxted for cadet asp on merit!

Boldstar:
Yesternight, I decided to check the nairaland FP topics as usual before I go to bed. I saw the topic that says NPF recruitment list is out. Relunctantly, with the mind that the exercise was a sham like the other gov't recruitment exercises this year, I clicked on the link to check the list. Voila, I saw my name gbagada . I thought I was dreaming because I knew no one nor did I give my details to anyone.

I immediately checked the name of my friend who knew a former IG and the personal aide to a present AIG. Alas, his name was not there . Everyone who knew him already thought he'd be selected because of the way the police treated him well at the screening exercise. He was intelligent and he 'knew people'. But he wasn't selected.

This morning I also heard many other people giving testimony that they knew no one but got selected. The report was that the selection was strictly through merit. If it continues this way, the best people for the job will be chosen and the result can only be progress.

This led to my question. My people, na true say we country don dey change for good?

Now you have the Barton in your hand, try make the change more transparent when you fully resume your beat. No corrupt the system when you get in, but change the system for good because I hate police for no reason. Until I see the professionalism of the police giving good service, I will remain indifferent.

Lol.

First off, congrats on your successful enlistment, OP.

Note, however, that this does not in the slightest way indicates that Nigeria is headed in the right direction.

Thing is, irrespective of how greedy a man is, he doesn't toy with his safety. Much as having it all to him self is a goal all those gluttons share in common, they usually go for the best hands when it comes to their safety.

Case in point: When it comes to hiring a pilot, expertise and experience trumps all else, including religion and ethnicity. This is because they are very well aware that no matter how well your tribesman means for you, chances are that he may crash you someday if he has limited knowledge in such areas.

As a matter of fact, them hiring the best brains is an indication of continuing corruption.

They have felt the heat much more lately, so, have come to realize the importance of security in their kleptocratic lives. This is a demonstration of their desire to feel even more secure than the Fort Knox so that they can enjoy the proceeds of their loot in peace.

If not;

Why didn't merit matter when it came to CBN and FIRS?

Why have their kit and kin been employed into FIRS, and are on their second salaries while others have yet to be called for interviews?

Why do their children still get jobs to which openings weren't advertised?

Why do government officials fall over themselves when it comes to securing juicy appointments for their wards?

Millions of questions to ask, but the long and short of the story is that, the number of thieves and potential thieves has increased exponentially, hence the need to hire the children of the poor who have a reputation of being focused on the job to guard over they and theirs.

Your case is the positive effect of a bad practice. And I'm happy for you!

We shouldn't always be quick to criticize. The truth is the recruitment could have been done the usual way and nothing would have happened. And your idea of 'wanting the best hands' is neither here nor there. One question for you: The Air force recruitment that was done the usual way, was there no need for the best hands to be there So the Air force is not that important Let's just commend something good when we see it. Simply put, the guy in charge of the recruitment did a good job.

apparently, there is nothing you can do as a leader to please Nigerians. a fair recruitment exercise that gave 10, 000 people job is being put up by someone as theory to protect the elite like it is only the elites that need protection.

Lol..because na police recruitment them make am fair. If na recruitment to NNPC or FIRS or CBN na coded runs e for be. Make una dey deceive una self.

They definitely won't allow their own children become policemen. Na una dem go employ to protect their children. Evil government.

ONCE IT HAPPENS IN CUSTOMS NNPC, NDDC, FIRS,CBN ETC, I WILL BELIEVE 2 SOME EXTENT DAT CHANGE MAYBE REAL.

Another perspective, one which I cannot disagree with. I have been thinking why every recruitment does this year was 'the usual Nigerian way' while the NPF recruitment wasn't. FIRS, CBN, even Airforce were all shams. There was no way someone who didn't know 'anyone' could have been selected. Where is the hope for the common man? Without using merit to pick candidates for school admission or job employment, this country will keep going in circles. So the big men and madams put their children in juicy jobs like CBN and FIRS while they allow merit employment for the jobs that will protect those with juicy jobs. There is God

That's the plain truth.

dude, your argument is pointless headless and needless. your conspiracy is more or less like the theory of some american journalist who think 9/11 was an inside job.

first, 10, 000 jobs were up for grabs at the NPF. how many were up for grabs @ the NAF, FIRS, and CBN altogether? a thousand or less?

also, the theory of using the recruited guys to to protect the elites is unfounded and implausible. so these recruits job description is to protect the elites alone and not the citizens.
the earlier we move forward as one nation seeing good in each other, the better for all of us.

I see a lot of naysayers, doomsday people, folks who rejoice at every bad news emanating from this country and weeping and wailing profusely when some good news is announced.

Continue o. Your judgement day is fast approaching.

The enemies of this country who have predicted that Nigeria will only get better over their dead body will die o, and Nigeria will get better. Ise.

OP, you can make this country even better by going to the police force and making us proud. No illegal raodblocks, no N20 bribe, no illegal detentions and a host of other vices.

All the best in your new career.

If the number of persons who got this job by merit begin to do the right thing in the job n doing it how it ought to be done, not being bias and going by how they got the job, then the Nigeria Police wil be what everyone wil wanna run to for help, peace, law and order that they are established to maintain

Na im oooo

Olopa tins....oya go n buy ya baton

The number of jobs has nothing to do with the fairness of a selection process.

Look here young man, you better shut up!

Commend good doing when you see it, this recruitment had a large degree of fairness and needs commendation and all you could come up with is this pile of gibberish!

My colleague told me how his kid bro saw his name and they all thought he was joking because their family knows no one in the police, not even a constable.

No one is saying Nigeria is now free from employment corruption, we are still far from that and a lot of work needs to be done but when good is done, please commend it, its surprising how some dumb Nigerian like you is bringing up lame theories about this, like seriously do you prefer them to hire without merit? Now when they hire based on merit you are still complaining and giving pathetic theories, how appalling I must say!

But I want u to know that in many states...the ASP and Inspector positions were fully robbed.. The cadet ASP and Inspector positions were no go area.. It doesn't mean few lucky ones didn't get it...but over 95% of that position was based on Godfatherism.. And since rge recruitment for both positions for cadet ASp and inspector didn't go thru the interview stage..and medical stage..that was when I knew something fishy will surely happen..in some states like Abia..aptitute test questions leacked before they wrote the exam around 11 pm in the mid night...same with some other sates.. The interview and medicals would av helped in the selection process but due to magu magu wey dey naija..it was dropped...all the same..from the beginning, the cadet ASP and inspector have always been the major interest of the elite.. Only God can hand pick a person without connection in that position..

The constable and specialist positions were a bit fair.. I know what I'm saying..

I think before people start commending the NPF,i wonder,what positions were given on merit,if truly alot of people saw names shortlisted for Inspector,Asp positions and its on merit then i doff my hat,but if its mostly for constable positions then i am sure a lot of people would agree there really isnt any change whatsoever

when it favour you, nothing is wrong with the process and when it does not go your way, the whole process becomes Mar with irregularities and man know man thing abi you don't win all the time,you win some you lose some. that's life and try and get it. congratulations though for being short listed.

For ASP cadet you still need Godfather

Maybe ur friend isn't interested anymore. Even if the method for selection is changing, the notion of every citizen on police force cannot change for the better. Their minds are black just like their uniforms.

ElsonMorali:


You're not making any sense at all. Sorry.

Don't mind him. All these posters criticising ought to appreciate that change has just begun. Who would have thought that even this one would happen. I heard that in the past years people buy police recruitment forms for as much as 500k each and yet some still don't get recruited. People forget that maybe Op will one day be the IGP even though he is the son of "nobody". If this is not change, what is? Buhari deserves commendation for this change. Let him do the same for recruitment into all federal agencies. God be with him as he struggles to change nigeria despite all odds.
