Should I pay a whooping sum of 500k to get a job? Please Advice!!!.... by nurexfutmx(m): 1:32pm On Mar 11, 2015
I lost my job last year december, have been trying to get another job since then but all to no avail. Am getting frustrated by the day cos i don't see any job coming, I was able to save up to 500k during my time in my former workplace. Now, the question is...

1. Am thinking of going for MSc which i may end up spending the whole money on and God forbid, what if i still don't get any job after the programme won't i go back to square one?

2. I'm thinking maybe i could invest in something profitable and start up a little business but i really want to build my career and with that little sum of money i have, i may end up making little or no gain which i could possibly lose lots of money aswell.

3. The third and last one am really interested doing is someone promised me a job in NNPC and he is asking me to pay 300k for a slot there but from experience of what happened to be last year, i lost 150k to a family friend who promised me a job in Nigeria Custom but i end up got scammed. It didn't workout, am trying to avoid such mistake again.

I've always wish to work with a goverment parastatal (a very good one) and i don't mind forfeiting the whole 500k to get it only if i can be rest assured it will workout.

Am really confused and don't know what to do with my life....i need u guys advice please!

Simple.ask him for a goo collateral for the money.if he succeed good for both of you if he fails worse for him

split the cash into two,
starting with option 2 take half of the fund, look for a biz that involves goods and services that is needed on a daily basis e.g: pure & table water (cosharis and nestle) mini distributor using a minibus, or printing recharge cards and distributing etc.

- get authentic info about the nnpc opportunity and pay half the fee to see if it would work.

- my last option: keep job hunting as you already sound career oriented, get employed. working and doing msc becomes a perfect venture when income's steay.

- pray, asking God to help yot make best decison

Id go with number 2. Entrepreneurship pays more...


Whatever you get from it, use it to begin your Msc.

And while doing the business, you could still seek for other available job positions.

One shouldn't affect the other

Bros.. no one can giv u a slot in NNPC 4 300k..its too cheap.. dey r obviously scammers.. reason been dat a fwend's aunt told me dat her fwend got a Frsc job for her younger bro at 1.7m.. if frsc job can cost 1.7m, hw much more an NNPC job..
I knw diff pple r involved nd diff prices, Bt NNPC is way bigger..

My advise 4 u.. luk for a job ursef nd while finding a job, start up ur business..

Btw, u sound employable.. jst put more effort, u will b fyn

POINT 1 AND POINT 2 IS A GOOD IDEA. POINT 3 MIGHT BE CLEVER BUT I WON'T ADVISE YOU TO GO FOR IT BECAUSE ITS CUNNING AND UNWISE. THE ADAGE THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE, CAST YOUR BREAD UPON MANY WATERS AND AFTER SOME DAYS YOU WILL FIND IT, DOES NOT APPLY HERE. BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND FORFEITING THE WHOLE N500,000 FOR THAT GOVERNMENT JOB, DON'T BLAME DEVIL WHEN THINGS FALL APART. ASIDES THAT ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: DO YOU TRUST THE PERSON THAT WILL OVERSEE THAT SUCH A JOB WILL BE POSSIBLE. IS HE/HER RESPONSIBLE, IS HE/HER A VERY CLOSE RELATIVE OR A FAMILY MEMBER YOU DINE WITH AND WELL KNOWN TO THE FAMILY. IN ADDITION SEEK ADVICE FROM ELDERS AND NOT NECESSARILY NAIRALAND OF A THING

How did you come about this conclusion? that you will fail at business undecided...
Even if you finally start a business, there's no way you can succeed with this mindset.


That said, you can have an agreement with the person in question to pay after you have gotten your appointment letter..

Life is full of risks. Consider them and take them. What's the guarantee that u will get the job or at least half of your money if you don't get the job. To some persons, 500k will help them start a very profitable business that they won't need to work for anyone again. But business is not for everyone though. So think it twice or even thrice.
