I have never applied for anyone, and I have promise myself never to do that rubbish too, unless I have a connection. Nigeria work is a scam I know that since when we were capturing data at Federal civil service commission in Abuja that year, as we were busy capturing Nigerians graduate details, the commission are busy giving appointment to the preferred candidates. May God help US. I have heard my certificate with NYSC discharge, I want start learning mechanic now sef.

I stopped hoping or believing in any government job since 2011/12, when I got involved in NSIFT recruitment.

After paying about 2 to 3k in the bank, to enable me get a code/number for filling the form online. We were called for test. After the test they contacted successful candidates. After 2 interviews they said our names had been sent to FCC..... Federal character commission.



99.9% of those names sent never got the job.




I personally went to their Abuja office and I was opportuned to meet a well dressed driver, who came to collect appointment letter for his madam's daughter who just finished schooling abroad and was on her way back to Nigeria
for real ?

My brother its a pity nigerians have been so corrupted that they would do anything for money...if you ask they will tell you its survival of the fittest afterall they aren't the first to deceive people...but i will ask, why allow someone to pay you for doing one thing when you can pay urself doing multiple successful jobs..i believe in youth empowerment things can only change in this country when the government realises that they dont own our source of income..and that we are not fully dependent on them to make a life.....and as for those saying God can do it....of course he can do it but is it really worth the test......the poster isnt just speaking for himself but for the remaining thousands that qualified for the job but didnt get it....and others that even wasted a lot of money to bribe and still lost.....
bro like what?

The system is corrupt from the base to the peak.. people not qualified paying and taking the positions of the qualified..Merit is removed from the selection process and this is why we have redundancies and block heads in MDAs around the country...
this is not gonna stop because its a chain...from the applicant>middleman>godfather>traditional ruler>Senator>Minister..
reason why the amount is bogus as each one gonna have his cuts.. meanwhile all these people are affiliated to one religious house.. mosques or churches and they all feign innocent in corruption...
Nigeria isn't going anywhere near development soon as this attitude will sink the country some years to come
the coming generation has a lot of work to do..

I also applied only in case if any1 ask 4 my print out slip. I didn't bother myself for any screening. I remember wen i jst finished NYSC, i was so enthusiastic, applying for evrything nd attended so many countless screenings. But now i'm wise. I rather b at home. If not 4 my faith, i would say y am i a Nigerian. Ds country is a hell.

Guy your observation is noting but a pure truth This year immigration recruitment, I have an uncle who happen to be an controller of immigration and I told him I have apply for immigration recruitment that he should help me out but I was shock with his response that why I was just telling him now that they have already share the slot among themselves I shouldn't bounder waste my time that was even before they finish selling form. I keep my faith on and did all the necessary things for the recruitment at the end I was not successful. This country if you don't know any high connected person your name na sorry. May God help the poor.Amen.

So after passing through a rigorous and humiliating recruitment process, it ends like this. I was told by a reliable source that in some camps applicants were asked to unclad themselves to be screened. Imagine asking a mature guy or lady to remove his/her underwear.

Basalt:
Those of you who did FRSC physical screening at 82 division Enugu will agree with me that applying for federal government jobs without knowing anyone at the helm of affairs is a WASTE OF RESOURCES, WASTE OF ENERGY AND WASTE OF TIME.

In the entire country, 4600 people will be employed and the possition I applied for is officer cadre and from a reliable source, only 400 people will be taken for that position.

Now let's do a little mathematics.
In my screening center alone, we were over 4000 BSc holders that applied for officer cadre.

Remember 400 is needed in the entire country for the position of officer cadre.
400/37 is approximately 11


It means that only 11 people out of over 4000 applicants will be chosen from Enugu state.

Out of the 11 people, how many politicians have slots? But let assume its strictly based on merit.
11/4000 x 100 = 0.275%
Which means anyone that applied stands a 0.275% cry chance of getting the job and 99.725% chance of not getting the job. cry

My question is now, why wasting money buying white shoes, white shorts and polo and spending on transport and food when you know your chances of getting the job is just 0.275%?

I will never ever ever apply for anything federal government job again unless I have a strong connection I rather channel that energy, time and Resources in something productive.
I also implore jobless graduates to start something that brings money, atleast from there you grow higher and higher while waiting for your dream job because indeed these people (politicians) don't mean well for the youths in this country
.


Bro, you're very true and entitled to your opinion. But never loose hope, keep trying and despise not the days of your little beginning,there's always light at the end of the tunnel, favour on your way soonest, keep hope alive

99% of FG jobs are like that. The general interview conducted for the public is wash, just formality and they're simply following the public service rules which states that all positions should be advertised in the national dailies. The same public service rule is also flexible to suit them as there are provisions of offering temporary appointment and formalize it later which is called regularization of interview. God help us.

I remembered vividly the immigration brouhaha. When I saw the crowd, I immediately concluded that I was there to play.

I was corporately dressed so I decided to have fun with the show, come and see crowd.

Test sheet did not go round, so people were making copies of it. In my mind, I was like is this exam? I just form official there, directing them on what and what not to do and they were all saying sir sir! grin

You need to see how graduates were manhandled. It was a pitiable state. I felt like that was the best time for youth revolution but nobody seem to be thinking in my direction.

All in all, it is always good to try despite the odds. Ask baba Ijebu for tutorials on that.
