Where i dey when people dey apply, damnnn

Who get the link abeg?

Very poor wages but loads and loads of 50 naira.

these men who applied for the police force a great people that can serve the nation well

I hope the very best get to serve, not those that will gain pot belly and start collecting 20 naira on the road after 2 months of them beign officers.

I wish them luck tho

over 2,000% turnover....we die here today

Thinking that Canada has over 300,000 vacant jobs, looking for whom to fill them

Nigeria is sinking like the great titanic ship....

Imagine 242,455 seeking the position meant for only 10,000....Despite the fact Nigeria police is the worst job anyone would wish his/her enemies to join.

rate of unemployment is soo high in nigeria while juciy employment is skewed towards and for the affluential...and some foolish people or say youths are still trying to vote for the same criminals back to power

And guess what? Just add Maduiguri to the application form and place of primary assignment. All of them go move...

Good to know nobody died through it all.
Still fresh in our memory how hundreds of youths died while trying to get a job during the wasted and evil years of PDP.

Nigeria will be great again.
