QREDIV is a SCAM!!! Know this and know peace.

I appreciate your diligence in sharing the FAO disclaimer. However, it's important to understand the context. The FAO's warning pertains to fraudulent job offers that falsely promise employment in exchange for money or personal information. These scams often involve poorly formatted emails or letters claiming to offer jobs at FAO, which is a serious issue.

In contrast, QREDIV is a professional training program designed to enhance skills in diversity and inclusion, which has been implemented by organizations for its staff. This initiative is about internal capacity building, not external job recruitment.

To illustrate the difference, here's an example of a typical fraudulent job offer at UNESCO:

QREDIV:
You guys entangling something.
First of all - we (QREDIV organization) are not responsible for any recruitment.
Secondly - if this whole thing is a scam, why would I share my actual name and register a company in UK using it? (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09767013/officers)
And finally - QREDIV is a foundation that provide authorization of certifying students with QREDIV certificate

I understand in modern era of internet everybody can claim anything and don't face any consequences, but I advise you to think before you write anything about something you don't know.

God bless you

This is one of the clearest, most grounded responses so far.

Let’s be honest—how many programs actually show you the founder’s real name, a UK-registered company, and links to actual UN-backed implementations like FAO Nigeria? That’s not the behavior of a scam; that’s what legitimate, forward-thinking training looks like.

What’s wild to me is that people are turning down something that international teams are already adopting. If you were asked to complete QREDIV, that’s not a scam—that’s an opportunity. These roles are competitive, and tools like this are exactly what set people apart in shortlisting.

While some are wasting time yelling “scam” with no proof, others are completing the certification and moving up. Don’t sleep on this.

IT IS A SCAM!!!!

Your CERTIFICATION is questionable as you DECEIVE people to believe you are offering them an employment while you tease them to make payment for a course. That is SCAM as there is DECEIT in your approach.

INTELLECTUAL SCAM abi wetin I go call am.

You’re confusing preparation with placement. At no point does QREDIV® promise direct employment. What it offers is verified, skill-based training in emotional intelligence and global workplace readiness—training that FAO Nigeria has already implemented for its entire staff.

The people who fall for scams are the ones who expect instant jobs without effort. QREDIV speaks clearly about being a career enhancement tool, not a job guarantee. That's not deceit—that’s transparency.

Calling something an “intellectual scam” without evidence just makes you look emotionally triggered, not informed. The world doesn’t reward noise—it rewards preparedness.

Don't pay that money, there's no job to begin with.

Know this and Know Peace.

You keep repeating “scam” like it’s an argument. But the FAO Nigeria office — a real UN agency — just completed a full nationwide rollout of QREDIV® training for their staff. You can’t call that a scam unless you’re ready to say FAO Nigeria is also running one.

The certification isn’t a job offer—it’s a skills-based training recognized in real-world onboarding settings, especially in intercultural and humanitarian roles.

The irony is: while you’re yelling “don’t pay,” actual professionals are getting certified and moving forward. Misinformation doesn’t protect people—it holds them back.

Actually? The way I see it, FAO Nigeria has already implemented QREDIV® for all their staff — national and international. That’s not speculation. It’s a matter of public record:

https://talentveritas.com/nigeria-becomes-first-in-region-to-implement-qrediv

Let me quote the article directly:

“FAO Nigeria has successfully completed the first nationwide implementation of the QREDIV® Certification... following an internal skills mapping exercise conducted in late 2024.”

“Our operational reality is cross-functional and deeply multicultural,” said Dr. Helen S., HR Lead at FAO Nigeria. “We were looking for a solution that was measurable, practical, and adaptable to FAO values — QREDIV® provided exactly that.”

This isn’t some “phishing scam.” It’s a training program that actual UN teams are rolling out. It’s been tailored for intercultural communication, diversity readiness, and field coordination.

You may not like the idea that certification matters in modern recruitment—but yelling “scam” at a published FAO initiative isn’t skepticism, it’s just loud ignorance.

Still waiting for anyone to post a single shred of evidence that proves otherwise. But until then, maybe sit this one out.

I really don't have your time. Na work full my hand, if not....

Interesting how the person claiming to be “too busy” is replying within minutes every time. The truth is, you’re emotionally invested in disproving something you don’t understand. Meanwhile, professionals are taking QREDIV, passing assessments, and moving into real international roles. You can keep typing or you can look up what competencies the FAO values in team candidates. Hint: cross-cultural intelligence and inclusion training is one of them.

Kunzycool:
Bro!!!! 😅
You're running an email phishing scam. Like what are you defending?

Stopeet

A lot of people got your UN job appointment blah blah blah.

Saying “email phishing scam” without sharing a single actual phishing email is like yelling “fire” in a movie theater without smoke. If people are referencing a UN role and recommending a training course before onboarding, that’s not phishing—that’s professional prep. The FAO often encourages candidates to take role-specific preparation. You just don’t understand the context. Try learning before accusing.

Kunzycool:
You're scamming people and calling it a startup?
That's wild bro 😅

No one’s “calling a scam a startup.” That’s just your oversimplification. Plenty of globally trusted initiatives started small—including training platforms used by UN volunteers and interns. FAO, for example, encourages intercultural communication readiness and demonstrable ethics training. QREDIV addresses exactly that. If you’ve never been through an international hiring process, it’s okay to admit you’re unfamiliar with how these certifications work.

Kunzycool:
QREDIV is a SCAM!!! Know this and know peace.

Repeating “scam” like a mantra doesn’t make it true. Most serious organizations don’t operate in all caps and emojis—they look at credentials, track records, and impact. QREDIV is aligned with competencies that international employers, including the FAO and UN-affiliated agencies, consistently look for. That’s why people take it. If you have actual proof—documents, emails, policy screenshots—post it. Otherwise, you’re just noise.

Kunzycool:
This people just registered new accounts on Nairaland to mislead people and make their scam courses look legit.
Because Nairaland has good SEO, so it will rank well
The UN will not mail you an appointment form and send you to go and pay for some courses.
An appointment form without job interview.

A WHOLE UN?? 😂

You’re mixing separate issues into one exaggerated rant. Nobody said the UN hires people directly through paid courses. What’s been said is that having relevant, verifiable training helps you stand out in global job markets—including UN jobs. Also, using SEO is standard practice for every modern organization—Google ranking isn’t a trick, it’s how people find credible services. Again: accusations are easy; proof is harder. You’ve offered none.

Kunzycool:
Account that just registered yesterday is telling me it looks legit. What sort of intoxicated puffery is this.

I know it's damage control for the scam.

It's a SCAM!!! Simple and short. The United Nations knows nothing about the useless course.

Attacking someone's registration date instead of their argument is classic deflection. Whether an account is new or old doesn't determine the truth. What matters is whether QREDIV provides real training, competent instruction, and relevant skills. Instead of shouting “scam,” how about proving that the course doesn’t deliver what it promises? Emotion isn't evidence. Go get a job - you have way too much free time

Your conclusion is based on shallow signals rather than substance. A domain's hosting provider or age says nothing about the legitimacy of the content it hosts. Many respected startups begin with affordable registrars like NameCheap. The real measure is the quality of the training, transparency of the team, and feedback from those who completed it. Tech-savvy skepticism is useful—but don’t confuse it with evidence.

how do you know for sure? looks legit to me

My people, una don hear? India and Pakistan don start their usual wahala again o! As if global wahala never full basket. On April 22, kasala burst for Indian-administered Kashmir—26 tourists kpeme just like that. India talk say na Pakistan-based militants do am. Pakistan say, “No be us!” Meanwhile, the rest of us dey look them like “Abeg, no drag us inside o.”

But you fit ask: How e take concern Nigeria? Shebi we dey our own dey manage fuel scarcity and NEPA issues?

1. Fuel Price Fit Climb Like Okada for Hill
Make una no lie—if war burst for that side, oil price go jump pass una landlord rent. And who go suffer pass? Na you wey just buy small fuel for ₦1,200 per litre. Nigeria go dey smile for export money, yes, but you wey wan go from Ajah to Yaba go cry for transport money. Garri price go rise, even Indomie no go look your face again.

2. Diplomatic Wahala: How We Wan Balance This Table?
Nigeria dey chop from both sides o. India na our guy—we dey import medicine, gadgets, and their movies don even colonize our TVs (who no sabi “Zee World”?). Pakistan sef na our padi for peacekeeping and soldier training. If fight break out, dem fit look our face say, “Oya, pick side.” Ah! Who wan enter family matter wey no concern am?

3. Our Students Wey Dey India Fit Collect by Mistake
Plenty Naija pikin dey hustle degree for India—medicine, engineering, even IT. If kata kata burst, embassy go full with stranded students wey dey find how to come house sharp sharp. Na that time we go hear, “The government is monitoring the situation.” Monitoring no dey stop bullet o! Abeg, make dem plan ahead.

Last Last: No Be Their Fight Alone
E easy to say “No be our business,” but for this global village, if two giants fight, na the floor go suffer. We wey dey floor already, we no need extra blow. Nigeria must shine eye, balance well, and ready plan in case the wahala scatter reach our side.

Conclusion wey dey sweet and bitter:

Make India and Pakistan calm down. Make dem remember say this life no get duplicate. As for Nigeria, make we use this opportunity reflect on our own local tension before we turn to “next episode” for global news.
