I woke up this morning with the news that FCSC has shortlisted lists of successful candidates in the ongoing recruitment exercise by the Commission in various Federal Ministries.

Succinctly, I have a friend who studied Business Administration with 3rd Class, while I have Msc and Bsc (2.1) all in Economics. Both of us applied for the same position (SGL 09) in the Ministry of Trade & Investment. Perhaps, to my greatest perplexity, this guy's name was shortlisted while mine was conspicuously missing. Just a few minutes ago he opened up to me that the father made "some calls" on his behalf prior to this time.

For your information, we are of the same age bracket, applied for same position, from the same State. So what criteria could have been used to disqualify someone with Msc and Bsc (2.1) and someone with a 3rd Class was selected.

Holding other factors constant, I am so happy for him and I am so expectant that mine is coming. But this has kept me in an awe position, as the whole scenario depicts lack of correlation between merit and success in this entity called Nigeria.

WHAT A COUNTRY? So help us God!

Such a sad development, all things being equal.

But to rain a little on your parade bro, lemme just say that if you used the same quality of grammar which you used in making this post for your FCSC application, then it's possible their HR unit got suspicious of your claimed 2.1 and MSc.

Did u hear from WAEC recruitment? Thank God there is feedback in the FCSC recruitment its only that majority of the nairalander name is nt shortlisted

TimmyPapa:

Wait interviews are based on mentality nd not mainly on grades.. if a 3rd class mentality fr a job is better than a 1st class den why nt giv it to wu can do it better.. nd evn dis is a country wir people's mentality are based on aving d best grades secures u job.. NO
Dats y most graduates in Nigeria cnt secure a job.. seeing dir grades as a guarantee to securing a job. in developed country ur ability secures job for u not Grade... have a change of Mentality an also GRACE speaks.. d G factor

you've said it all..."a call prior" made all the difference..just one call...

Am sorry but why are Nigerians daft......what is wrong if someone with 3rd class is chosen above M.sc and 1st class....are they not all Nigerians....and beside it was an open recruitment......this is Govt not Privates who choose 1st class and undermine 3rd class......isnt it d so called 3rd class that are ruling dis country......my people get sense

From the comments you will know those that merit employment and those that rely on connections.

This is a batch A list. The most important list which should have been paid on merit (qualifications only and right fit-experience).

No test has been written, so the only basis for selection are the qualifications. No one can tell me that a first class is not better than a 3rd class . You have just ridiculed the whole education system. Why do we celebrate first class- because they have proved their mettle (what's the point of the grading system).

The FCSC batch A list is a national and very public scandal.







I'm not a first class candidate but there is something called Logic. This is outright corruption.

am sure your friend told you that in confidence and you come up here and start yarning

kevoh:
Connections aside, BSc alone normally starts with Grade level 8 while MSc is grade level 9.There might have had enough vacancies for level 8 alone and few for level 9. I've seen instances where people hide their degrees just to get into the system with a lower degree like ND. Once they are employed and confirmed they apply for conversion with their BSc.

Easier said than done,

So because he has 3rd class, he doesn't deserve to be shortlisted, Oga he may have some other additional skills that your big headed 2.1 brain think is useless because you are on your high horse.. besides na short listing, him never get the job and you are jealousing him instead of being happy for him. Oga Biko take a chill pill, you for keep this post for your head o

many people here are just saying thrash.."shey 3rd class no be result"; "what's the fatebof 2:2 graduates?" etc..to me, this is absolute nonsense? it is a general rule of life that the best should qualify for a thing. perhaps many of u don't know the pains and agony one goes through before securing a 2:1..do u know how many night classes, afternoon classes, tutorials etc one attended before grabbing a 2:1 and one non-entity who spent his university days sleeping, drinking and f*ckn now gets a job b4 u..naturally it's painful and annoying and the OP is right venting his anger and frustration on the Nigerian system

Hmmmmm my brother am speechless.... That's 9ja for u o o.... U go school make good grade at the end no work..... It is well o

3rd class can perform more than u

UcheDA:
My dear it is a shame. I graduated with a first class and have all the documents needed for this recruitment. To my greatest suprise my name did not come out too. In fact only 2 first class candidates where successful in my state out of over 70 shortlisted names. I weep for the country. This is a big time blow!!!

Why don't you start something yourself. Learn an art, shoe Making, tailoring, anything. With firstclass you still searching for job and you're not ashame to say so. That's why Nigeria is where we are

govt Jobs in Nigeria is like trekking to America with one leg!!

Tyviv:
The matter tire me.... I look the list like 3times as I no see my name,I shake head comot.... Just bcoz I don't know one politician or the other, it is well

Remember these words: Nigeria will never know peace until the day the son of a nobody becomes somebody without knowing anybody.

And you think those who had a 2.2 did not do all these?

I did not finish with 2.2 tho, but this logic na rubbish, !because those who finished with 2.2 also worked hard (some of them) and some finished with 3.38-3.45.

That is not a bad cgpa in the real sense of it.
And they are not nonentities too.

Masters is no guarantee of being favorable chosen, you wan become oga over your oga in a short time? And about 3Rd class if they don't get Government Job thru connection is it private that will hire them? And finally since you are good why not do PhD look for Lecturing job, start a small business or beg your friends father to assist also

Just move on something far bigger than that awaits you soonest!Mark my word.

fav444:
My brother, I feel ur pain. But remember that we are not one and may not be in the nearest future. We all are in one way or the other divided along political, tribal, social status and class, religious, cultural and regional lines.

To my fellow citizens,
If you are a son of just an average man or worst still a poor man and u are busy preaching, believing or fighting over "one Nigeria", My dear wake up cos you are only dreaming.

One Nigeria is only being practised among politicians and rich class irrespective of their tribes, religion or geopolitical zone. They share their juicy jobs and appointments among themselves but some very poor people will be here fighting each other over them.

hahahahaha,i have m.sc(3.9) and b.sc (2:1),,,applied for several positns too..... buh i saw 3rd class too in my state list when i checked.... there was a country indeed

The alleged non entities are the one In charge of the system and process mind you and also most of the very good results and many qualifications type of people let the result get in their head making them proud and arrogant even when broke and jobless.

adanny01:


Use ur brain, can you sell first class. Have you forgotten its an analogy.

In a normal society, first class are mainly research oriented.

[/s]
Nonsense!
You have no point
Just shut the Fûck up and swerve

sweetchii:
My dear I have been reading comments about this thread and u re one of those who just nailed it with ur comment.I am a daughter of nobody but d Almighty God yet I saw my name.It is nothing but grace.

God bless you jare, congrats on your success. Instead of the OP to consider God's influence he was looking at his certificates but unknown to him, God will always grant his children success if they ask.

beajjay:
OP, just pray for divine favour.
I know no ONE in power/politics... .I've even forgotten I applied, until a friend called in yesterday morning that she saw my name.

BUT ANYWAYS.....I KNOW GOD!

"Some trust in Chariots others trust in bows but those who know their God shall do exploits " Another awesome testimony, congrats

sufillah:
I am a 3rd class graduate plus pgde. No connection no bribe and I was shortlisted

Another amazing testimony, congratulations! Some people think they are better than you because they got higher grades in school but they forget that it is humility that will carry them far

Congrats once again, keep the testimonies coming

greenmonk:


Oga op, you're over qualified that's why they went for a lower grade whom they will pay less. With your MSC I advise you look for job even in a private company tp gain some experience so as to secure employment as a mature candidate. Entry point employers will always go for the lower certificate.

Not true..... He is qualified for that position he applied for..... If he had applied for level 8 then he would have been over qualified

#BringBackOurEmployment# (A call for protest)

Fellow Nigerians,
The time has come for us to come together in solidarity and rally for our collective good. The time has come for we the youth to wake up from our slumber. The time has come for us to take what is rightfully ours. The time has come for us to speak out against the enemies and progress of our country Nigerian. The time has come for us to stand up and speak with one voice.
Fellow Nigerians, we must say enough of favoritism, god-fatherism, nepotism and tribalism at the ways and manner sons and daughters of the powerful are been recruited into the federal civil service.
Fellow Nigerians, i will like to draw to your notice that the entire recruitment process was a fraud and big scam, every name on the list has already been pre-arranged, organised and executed.

We noticed a lot of irregularities and fraud in the already released list (batch A) which include
1. Why would the name of a graduate with 3rd CLASS be on the list of a position meant for a GL10 officer, which was supposed to be a position occupied by a Masters degree holder. "big slap to education"
2. Why was the finance ministry not published or released in some state?
3. Why was some state not equally represented? "wat happened to the quater system we have been practicing all dis years"
4. The most qualified were not selected in terms of qualifications "abi sey we no get Ph.D and Masters holders who applied for dis jobs"
5. Why would a B.sc graduate who graduated 2015 be considered over a graduate with masters degree and with a B.Sc certificate dated 2009. "everthing no just understand me anymore"
6. Why would a 3rd class graduate be selected over a masters degree holder, who also applied for the same position. "make dem tell us d technique dem take select dem"

Fellow Nigerians the time to speak up is now. we the youth must wake up and say NO to all this happening at the federal civil service commission. That is why we must all gather ourselves at the federal civil service gate on tuesday 21st of march for a mass protest to show solidarity and say enough-is-enough.
Fellow Nigerians, we must all come out in mass for this protest. Thanks

DATE: TUESDAY 21ST, MARCH 2017
VENUE; COMMISSION GATE, (Assemble point FRSC gate)
TIME: 9am

You are frustrated and will always be looking for a justifiable reason to make yourself happy haven migrated abroad as an illegal immigrant.

Nigeria is not and will never be a useless or cursed country, your life as an illegal immigrant abroad is just the beginning of your frustration on earth

Another confirmation below by another poster to what l said this morning, those who can read the writing on the wall knows better but you choose to remain blind forming useless patriotism instead of holding your useless leaders accountable for grounding the country, a country where merit is thrown to the dogs and it is man-knows-man, nonsense

comradeodunze:
Useless country.

Well said, l agree
