yuzedo: Apart from the really hilarious comments/vitriols (e.g. Cattle-f.ucker tribe ), y'all are just being hypocrites. If you had a sibling who was unemployed and this came up, you would THINK the same thoughts. Acting it out is another matter. And personally if i had the power, i would F.UCKING "nepotise" my brother into the slot if possible!
@ O.P: Alas you stand a 20% chance of pulling this through. Take it from someone who has a university degree in this area. . However, 20% chance mathematically means one in five persons will pull off this "scam" successfully. . . Are you that one person??

@poster

C ur life! Tribalistic slowpoke

ismhab: Ndi igbo mentality, you are part of the government circle that does'nt want to see the progress of our dear and beloved country.

livapul86: @All: I think we should read through the OP's post again and be sincere with ourselves. Clearly, the Op must have gotten the job on the basis of Federal character policy and as such might not have written any 'special' test. Op, I do understand your sentiments and to be frank with you its totally doable. Firstly, go the department concerned and try to relate with any guy man working in the unit, he should be able to put you through on who to meet. As long as the job was zoned to your state, it can be worked on. Most people castigating you don't live in Nigeria and this might seem absurd to them. Recently, the Central Bank advertised for a job and they clearly stated that they needed candidates from only Taraba, Gombe, Bayelsa, Ebonyi to apply and take their slots.

HellaBella: Some of you people sha...
Those criticizing the OP aren't doing so because he recommended his brother. Read his post, the OP did not mention anything about recommending his brother to the office. Rather, people are taking issue with the fact that the OP seems to have this false sense of entitlement that a job that was once his can now be allocated to his brother. This is the problem with Nigeria. The OP should have been asking for tips about how to best talk to the management about employment opportunities for others (in his case, his bro). The OP even commented that he doesn't want the post to go to someone he doesn't know. Well if that's the case, then the OP should keep the damn job. How dare he!

Nothing wrong with looking out for his bro's best interest, but please, the entitlement needs to go.

...guess cretin is the only english insult you've learnt in your sojourn abroad...

Emilo: Please OP, go and discuss with someone at the top of affairs, your brother can still get the job as long as it is the Government. If your brother gets it, its more blessing for ur family. Don't mind these people here,, who if given same opportunity would try same stunt.

Most of these people have never worked in the Government sector so can't fantom how it works. I worked as a permanent staff with INEC for some couple of years before moving to the private sector. My regret is that i didn't put someone i know to take my slot, today my boss as i hear has been claiming my salary ever since.

MRbrownJAY: this is exactly the kind of mentality that is making Nigeria go backwards!!!

@OP
decide which job you want and let THE AUTHORITIES find a new applicant. there is absolutely no reason why your brother should get the job over anyone else. that is the reason why there are TESTS made to find the right applicant, duh! let him apply and pass the test like anyone else!
