This is the best position to take. Things got seriously bastardized under GEJ. Ogar, for example, spoke with total abandon and with no consideration for the high level of professionalism her office demanded. This may just be a 'cleansing' of the DSS to make it more effective. The article hints a relative of Ogar is involved to deliberately indict Buhari of vindictiveness and whip up primordial sentiments in Nigerians since everyone knows this is always easy to achieve for a people that is very divided and emotional.

Yet the fact is that the new boss of the DSS may just be reversing abuse of power, nepotism and perhaps even an agenda of ethnically perverting an important security parastatal. The bottom line is that we don't know the definitive answer as per what the truth is. We have to let those who head these security agencies get on with their jobs and give them the benefit of the doubt. Even the President and Prime minister of the USA and UK do not know why the FBI and M15 bosses take certain decisions. It is only in Nigeria we have to make a fuss when there is no need for such.

abiolasalamy:
I just feel the dismissed officers to be may become a security risk to the country. However, dismissing 65 out of 420 might be best known to authorities involved.

kkkp:
Hmm 65 trainee officers.. No advert , nothing they just employ their relatives.. Carry go baba

AncientJerk:


What a stu!pid thing to say!

You have assumed that because these individuals joined a security agency at one point in time, all they are interested in is war and dying young. From the article, its clear they were destined for analyst positions (i.e desk jobs) in other words these ones are soft! I guarantee you most these people will still end up with high paying private sector jobs--the same connections that got them into the DSS can most probably still sneak them in somewhere else. Why do you assume that the likes of Marylin Ogar's sister, Ostensibly a christian, would even have the remotest interest in joining ISIS? Why do you assume that for a young, probably smart and hitherto somewhat patriotic Nigerian, career paths in life are either DSS or ISIS? What does ISIS even have to do with anything??


I will tell you why you have made these assumptions sir. It is because you woke up this morning and decided not to think before you talk!

front247:
The way buhari is going about this thing. He is behaving more of a dictator and a tyrant

Dontbeused:

ric123:
SSS recruitment is always advertised before
No big deal - always advertised
It just became secret when Ogar wanted to appoint her own people

INTROVERT:
immigration sack
zenith bank sack
dss terminate

hope the owner of nairaland won't start sacking mods tomorrow

ROSYL:


So this how to reverse abuse of power? You are the reason why Nigeria is where it is today. You said the bottom line is no one knows the definite aanswer why they did what they did......so why didn't they state the answer in their sack letters.
And again all these countries you reference don't just wake up one morning, match to barracks and start handing in sack letters, and then again with no reason. Even if they want to retrench, they will first pass the idea to parliaments for debate, several months before it happens, so please your comparison here is null and void.....and why do you people always compare sef...We are way behind those people

pyyxxaro:
After exposing them to all the tricks
You now Sack them

Hope they won't regret this

dsul:
not all tricks. N non of dem went to any foreign training.

Acidosis:



I don't blame you, you have been programmed at APC situation room to defend your boss at all times.

You're soo clueless, you forgot that ISIS, Boko haram and other terrorist groups also have intelligence units manned my educated folks.

Btw, the emphasis in my point isn't about ISIS, it is about your f00lish president who 'sheepishly' terminated the appointments of 64 DSS trainees. Desk jobs or not, these guys have been exposed to all manners of sophisticated weaponry both within and outside the country. Let's not talk about the expenses made so far. Do you know the cost of getting a 1 year Masters degree in the UK in "petty" classroom courses?

Now relate that with a practical field training for 64 citizens in several countries, and tell us the total cost.

Imagine discarding all the efforts/money just because of your Dullard's hatred for Mrs Ogar?

ellabooz:
But come to think of it,when were this positions advertised? I guess the affected candidates are related to relations of Ogas at top.

234GT:


Sorry to burst your bubble, any new recruitment will not be on merit, so if you Don't know anyone, na still same for you.

BeardedMeat:
DSS, SSS call it what you never ever advertises, its a state secret service. Get your facts right before commenting.

ignis:
I just hope Buhari won't nothernize all offices in Nigeria.

zik4ever:

DSS will not say anything about it publicly. There is more to what is going on and to what we read about in the media. This is a public forum and not all can be said here. There is a time for everything. No further comments!

Gbawe:


Madam, simply wait for more information to come out. That is my point.

themharcqk:
There will always be those who will make insensitive remarks.

The security service never announces their recruitment, for God sake it's a secret service, Ogah's relative may be there but please did she go through the training as the others? Yes..

Was she jumped to an office position? No. Where is the nepotism here, due process along with other trainees was followed.

And to that dude who said recruitment was on the basis of man know man and corruption I think you need to check how you think, you may like buhari but don't be stupid..

No fee was asked for to recruit anyone, no advertising (it's the secret service damn it).
Please make sensitive remarks that even you can learn from..

kkkp:
Hmm 65 trainee officers.. No advert , nothing they just employ their relatives.. Carry go baba

eddyroyal:
DSS do not publicize it recruitment.
This service is called 'THE SECRET SERVICE'that is why its activities is secretly carried out,including its RECRUITMENT.

ROSYL:


He said he has evolved over the years, and that scored him some cheap points in the election......leopard and spots come to mind.

bendike:

When will you have sense? What is going to happen now is that 90% of the new intakes will be northerners. Before OBJ came into power and diluted the sss, army, etc the unofficial language in all Theseus agencies was Hausa. Over the past 16 years from the time of obj till Gej the service has being diluted with southerners hence the top management has to be cleared out. New intakes will the be re Northernized so as to ensure for years to come the top, middle and junior cadre will be abokis.

Good morning Madam. Were the vacancies advertised before they were recruited?
