Have you worked in a FG job before, go and see what people who are in FG job has achieved a lot more than their counterpart, if not for this buhari regime that's slow.

I work in a first generation Federal University. There's a lot of misconception about FG jobs. While some people in certain departments or positions make good money legitimately and illegally, majority are not that lucky especially in this time of galloping inflation.

Making blanket statements is very funny. Yes I have and I have family there too. It's ok to want to work the government but for the right reasons.
There's a difference between working for certain govt agencies like NDIC, CBN, FIRS and the likes and working for a ministry.
A lot of regular civil servants that have "achieved" are into sharp practices.
All I'm saying is if all you want in a job is "security" then you may never get to a certain level. Life I'd beyond been sent for courses and owning a house after 25 year's.
There's so much out there why limit yourself?

In terms of job security it doesn't matter where you work in Nigeria you can be laid of at anytime, that's the misconception about most people in Nigeria that thinks when you get FG job there are OK, I have family members who work in immigration, nnpc, customs, fg ministry, I have seen their colleagues get laid off just like others in the private sector.
People are looking at future prospects in terms of positions, rank, salary wages bonuses access to loans and age in retirement when compared to others.
If you are working in the private sector and you are not an expatriate in your field of work forget you won't go far compared to someone who's working in a FG job.
I have a friend who works in shell petroleum, he's an expatriate in the field of mechanical engineering obtained so many technical skills and experience from UK, shell laid him and millions of people across Nigeria, he was able to stand on his feet because of his expertise, but when compared to his colleagues who are in FG job he was found wanting.
But today he has achieved a lot and works as contractor with shell when needed and other firms but when compared to his colleagues VS FG job there are far below them.
I won't advise anyone to rely on FG job nowadays because Nigeria has changed in so many dimensions today with huge debt to pay.
Epcl was a FG company but was sold which is now Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited (IEPL), located in Port Harcourt, so many staffs were laid off as at that time.

The way my people like govt job, they just want to play it safe.

Do you want to be an employee all the rest of your life?

You guys should stop this recurring rubbish about FG jobs and job security. There's nothing there. Some of us have been there and still willingly resigned. When poverty hit una with those peanut salaries they pay there, una head go quickly correct.

Ok Sir. The way you sounded here, I'm not surprised that poverty drove you out of FG job.

I agree with you on that, but with FG jobs there are so many advantages when compared to others.
Access to huge loans especially senior staffs, few private firms only with high paying jobs has access when compared to FG jobs.
Access to free health care and your family depending on the FG jobs. you just need your ID you can have access to it for free in some FG JOB or almost free in some.
There are bonuses, like housing bonuses, thrift, for staffs in each year.
Institutions like pengassan and others for the petroleum jobs has a benefit for you that's if you are a member and make staff contributions, they serve as mouth piece to their staffs in terms of increment in salaries and other allowances.
These things you can't get it for free if you're not doing FG job.

You guys are clowns, screaming job security. Come and see how young boys are doing wonders and you there screaming job security.

My boss is less than 34 and he nets over 2.5M monthly, some of us earn twice what a Prof earns. When you see guys balling hard you go dey scream Yahoo .

My days in guiness, we made money na. FMCG anyday anytime.

Fed job wey u fit remain for one position for 10years. See defeatist and backward mentality.

freegaza:


The only sensible comment here . So many dumb people, one is even saying he'd rather go for 25k with FG than 1 million in a private sector.

People work in the private sector for 5 years and earn what you will not earn in your 35 years of service in the government

You ignored the issue of corruption.

Anyway, you do have a point

Childofaking:


i still maintain that no entry level person in immigration earn a salary of N125K

Prove me wrong

If I were u, I will log into national salary and wages commission website to download their pay slips instead of arguing here . I hope it will end your argument

There's no direct answer to the post. It all depends on the person involved, his long term career goals, his age and several other factors. If he is less than 30 he still has time to explore opportunities in the private sector but if he's above 35 The thing with FG job is that if you are in it's difficult to leave I'll advise him to take the FG job if he physically fit to do paramilitary work. I just wanted to disabuse some myths about FG jobs. For instance, you talked about free medical services. Not totally true. Yes FG workers who are registered with NHIS get some treatment free but NHIS does not cover major ailments and drugs. The pharmacy rarely have some of the drugs
. Also, for those in major cities like Lagos the housing allowance is too small compared to the actual cost of rent in the big cities like Lagos. In fact with IPPIS there's nothing like housing allowance as everything has been consolidated. Also. you are to contribute a percentage to National Housing Fund(NHF).

U see I didn't reply him. He is reinforcing his ignorance.

Lol, I feel he doesn't know much about the paramilitary salary scale but he was so sure of his assertions which is wrong

Apart from private multinational companies like shell, Agip, NLNG, enell, which jobs pass FG jobs like NNPC, CBN, IMMIGRATION, customs etc what have you.
You're just a novice, even in PH the people who owns top business, big mansions, bought houses in estate are working either in the two options.
You're just a novice, you get money to buy a plot of land of 100 million naira going for Abuja or 75million for PH. If you're not a well established businessman you can't afford it.
Which Nigerian bank will give you loan of 30-45million naira without a collateral of viable properties.
If not for security and safety purposes there's some things I need to show to certain people on this forum they will scream.

FG job is the best job...cos of job security

For junior staffs due to the minimal pay at a start your salary and position will limit certain earnings from your employer but as time goes by you will have a great access to these opportunities I mentioned.
When a family member of mine started working in nnpc he was virtually limited to access to even housing, thrift benefits due to his years of service but as he scaled to the senior staff ranks there were lots of full benefits.

It's not exactly what you think. I'm not a junior staff. Apart from NNPC some parastatals most other FG staff do not depend on their salaries. The salaries are peanuts compared to what some good private firms pay. And it is only a very small fraction rise to positions like Permanent secretaries, directors. Vice Chancellors etc.

The FG job will just make you a criminal. You will collect bribe to meet up.
If the FMCG coy is world-class, go for it.

What if the paramilitary post you go Sokoto, Zamfara or Borno

FarinJini:
Where una dey see all these jobs?
OP since you'll be leaving the country soon, job security shouldn't be an issue. Go for the FMCG job. You'll need the money in the abroad
Good luck.

Abi ooo, where una dey see this type job oOoOO, God please remember me for good

Well FG work looks more secured. However, since ur planning to leave d country, then go for the other offer.

Abeg can u li k me up

Oga go for the FMCG company o FG that are struggling to pay salaries once oil price declines na people like you dem go sack better go for a company with a better future and growth prospects its also an added job experience for future jobs unless you think being a para military official looks better on your cv (which it doesnt)

What about Lecturing in a State University? Is the pay same as FG jobs? If one is to enter the system as a casual staff, is it better than remaining in the Private sector?

If u join Any paramilitary as a graduate.. The least pay for a start is 100k..
It waec holders DAT start from constable earning 40k

Joysticks:
Which paramilitary jobs pays 125k?How much a constable in the police earn?

Where are you guys getting slot nah....where are you getting this job?

I have just been thinking of how life has been ha*d.

That a lie...even when oil dropped to below $30 per Barrel...all FG workers were constantly receiving their pay and allowances..and FG don't sack workers..
Oil is over $70 today..

It's like people didn't read the part where he said he's planning on leaving the country.
Don't bother about job security since you'll eventually leave the job and japa.
Work experience in the corporate organization will be of immense benefit when you japa
