This is what you get from the sattelite campuses that are churning out half-baked graduates. I work in industrial security and have seen countless managers with worse English communication skills than you get in Punjab. We have listened to many national leaders (senators, reps, governors down to LG bosses) go on air to disgrace our educational system with unpardonable errors in written and spoken english. This is commendable from Alkali and he needs to raise the bar also for those already in service. If you have ever had to obtain a police report, you must surely understand what i am driving at. |

chamber2: What now makes you the 'BEST' for the job |

Na wah ooooooo |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by chamber2(m): 3:03pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
What now makes you the 'BEST' for the job Yeah, i lacked the confidence but NOT the knowledge. Even the interviewer observed i was only nervous. That was immediately after graduation.Subsequently, i gained confidence and the result was awesome My point is, the guy may have been nervous and that contributed to his inability to speak coherently. |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by pinkrex(m): 3:11pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
chamber2: Are you saying there are no exceptions? Thats why its called the 'best', Some people in 4 or 3oo level in some uni's can perform more than managers. Forget that thing jare, you are just making excuses for yourself and that guy cos uv been a victim of such circumstance before |

Abeg leave mata.What kind of interview fright would affect you so much,you can't even express yourself properly? Check out this thread and see to yourself people's interview experiences, especially the freshers; https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-129847.0.html |

Forget that thing jare, you are just making excuses for yourself and that guy cos uv been a victim of such circumstance before If you read my initial comment very well you would observe that i only tried to ''look at'' the issue from various perspectives. I just imagined what could have possibly led a 2.1 English language graduate to make such unpardonable grammatical error. In order not to jump into conclusion like most people here did, i shared personal experience.Even in my own case i still got the job because the interviewer was convinced that i was suitable for the position. So, she invited me for another chat where i performed beyond her expectations. You can as well check out this thread to see more of what people experience during interviews, especially freshers; https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-129847.0.html Quite agreed, there are horrible Nigerian graduates, irrespective of the grade they graduated with. But that is not enough reason to disparage those who worked hard and merited whatever grade they were awarded. |

See for yourself.Now I understand You are an Id.ot |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by brainpulse: 3:32pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
It is believed that as a 2.1 candidate you are well baked in at-least some part of human sphere. so you don't have any excuse to deliver below expectation. You should be able to defend the certificate you laboured for any time or day. I had one colleague during my undergraduate years that could not construct a sentence up till tomorrow. He graduated with 2.1, it was during the convocation day we knew that his uncle was our Examination Officer. I am telling you the Gospel truth. He couldn't secure a Job for years, but he is now a GA in is uncle department. when i got to know about that i felt cheated but i also knew then that nemesis will always sing her song. |

cold: ^ Bro, The first poster on that thread must not be allowed access to anywhere near school children. @Topic, if I were to conduct recruitment for the NPF, I will place more emphasis on your ability to speak local languages in your area of jurisdiction or command. Criminals in Nigeria don't care about good English, if you can't speak the local language or understand the intricacies of pidgin English you will probably fail to be effective as a street cop in Nigeria. The police should not bury their head in the sand by assuming that Lagos is London. Local languages rule on Nigerian streets, local street police need to understand those languages more than English. I'll excuse flawless English and emphasize honesty, discipline, fitness, professionalism, logical reasoning, attention to detail e.t.c Wetin concern agbero with overload? |

chamber2: You weren't the best for that job shekina! Maybe you had a strong connection in that company or your father owns it Interviews are meant to test your competence and confidence and not nervousness. Maybe of all the people that were interviewed on that day, you were just the best amongst the non-best. If you read my first post you could see that i mentioned 'paper qualification'. People pay for results this days so why should 2.1 or 2.2 be anything |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by chamber2(m): 3:50pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
okada_man You seem to be the ONLY sensible person here. One nihilist was even busy correcting my sentence without looking up the meaning of the word in his dictionary, that's if he has one. |

chamber2: If cold is an id.iot then you are idi.oooooooooot A simple correction from a brother and you are already smocking! @cold I was tempted to correct especially the 'consented' guy but i rather smh. example: gulfer spelled satellite as sattelite another guy up there spelled liar as lair another one said 'i no' instead of i know etc. |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by chamber2(m): 4:05pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
Beaf I won't join words with you because you are one of the few guys i regard in the forum. Please tell me, how is this a wrong expression; to yourself : …be able to use, occupy, or enjoy something without having to share it with anyone else… I think that goes well, taking into consideration the context in which the word was used. |

Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by cold(m): 4:27pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
Wow !I didn't realise a simple correction could land one in serious trouble.See as my body dey (((shake))) |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by chamber2(m): 4:36pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
Cold You never intended to correct me, you only wanted to ridicule me. In fact, there was nothing to correct. I accept well intended corrections, after all, no one is above making mistakes. |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by cold(m): 4:46pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
^^Now why would I want to ridicule you? To what purpose?I don't even know you.What you just exhibited is a common trait with Nigerians.When you try to correct them they simply fly into a fit; 'do you think you're better than me?' 'look at this small boy,you want to teach me my job?' 'you have no respect for your elders abi'. Reh,reh,reh,bla,bla,bla.So no surprises there |
Re: Police Recruitment: 2nd Class Upper Holder Disqualified For Speaking Bad English by pinkrex(m): 4:52pm On Aug 25, 2011 |
cold: What job? |

You only wanted to use my sentence as a ''case in hand'' to further prove your points. As i said before, i am not above making mistakes (not silly ones though), and would always welcome well intended corrections. If you checkout my comments here on NL, you would observe that I am one of the few guys who don't resort to insults and name calling as a way to drive home their points. Even while making corrections i try as much as possible not to sound offensive.I think that is a good attribute we should all try to exhibit, not the showmanship that is evident here. |

It might be true but then we've only heard from the Commissioner of Police in-charge of Lagos State command and we know the men of the Nigerian police force for their dishonest ways. None of you were there with them. Probably the guy made one or two mistakes and the Cp concluded he couldn't speak, How many policemen can speak good English in Nigeria? |

men, for one it could be first time interview tension. But on a second thought, i think the unis are to be blame. I remember my pre-science days in esut, after the program i was among those with the highest scores they refuse giving us admission because we refuse to sort and also because we are not from the S.E. While giving admission to sorters and peeps from the S.E with very low score |
