This thread has suddenly gone mute again

When the so called thing that drew everyone together doesn't seem forthcoming. You can't blame the thread for its muteness. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and her states!

TeddyPendergrass:
Hello Folks,

So I was researching about careers with the British Council and I didn't find anything particularly informative about the whole process online especially with regards to the experience here in Nigeria. The only information I found on NairaLand either records people asking questions about how to apply for British Council jobs or people asking what their work based test and interview processes are like. For the most part people who start answering the questions usually end up not following through either because they eventually got the job and didn't bother coming up on NairaLand to follow up (honestly though who has the time to come on NairaLand to answer questions when you're annual salary is between the range of 3M to 7M depending on your position) or maybe because they didn't make it pass a certain stage ( for real though, why would they tell you what to expect when noone told them what to expect).

For this reason I decided to start this tread to discuss the BC application process especially, that is a very important aspect seeing that the whole BC recruitment process is not generic. This means that the process is specifically designed for the BC. This is the first step of getting a foot in the door. There is no such thing as "man know man". If I can do it, some of you can. Hah

At this moment I am going through the recruitment process of a mid-level administrative position with the BC so I am going to provide as much information as legally allowable so anyone who has an interest in working with the BC will learn from my experience.

I will update this post with information on Wednesday 29th July from 6pm. I will include documentation on how to carefully fill the BC ATS form for any position you have experience for and wish to apply.


I will eventually do the same thing for the American Embassy, MTN, ETISALAT and a few others.

You can post your questions here I will answer them on wednesday.

Cheers,
Pendergrass

I know your busy with so many things! But could you kindly help the uninformed people such as myself to become informed. In so doing you would be blessing individuals and permit me to say families also. God bless

alBidmaasiy:
Thanks brother, you're highly appreciated.

Thank you too

OK....so my inquisitive self went to UCH on Monday to ask 'how far' and its still the same the scripts are been marked, and when they are ready they would send messages to successful candidates, so until then brothers and sisters in the unemployed force let's make ourselves busy. Thanks and God bless.

I have been around here for a while. I just created this new id to relate my problems here.

My husband of over 6 years has now become an outspoken atheist. He has been one all along but he has been keeping it on the low. He opened up to me and told me 3 years after we got married. I was shocked but there was nothing I could do. He wasn't really a religious person before we got married and I wasn't as well(I was much more religious than him even at that time). I began to take my religion very seriously after we got married. Now I have an amazing relatioship with God. I take it very seriously, and I put God first in my life. My husband does not. He doesn't rub his atheism on my face, we don't talk about religion, even when we do, it is always me that brings it up but, he sometimes listens and sometimes dismiss what I am saying with a wave of hand or with a laugh. He is a very good man and an excellent husband, he takes very good care of me and my 2 kids, he loves us to death, and does his duty as a father and a husband excellently. I can't wish for a better man.

He is not the type to engage in and argument over religion because he is very smart and always wins. I have seen 3 people engage him and they ended up losing the argument to him. He is widely read and cleaver so I can't even go into an argument with him. His mind is already made up. The problem I have right now is that he is becoming outspoken about his unbelief, back in the days he just keeps it to himself, these days I see him openly mocking and deriding pastors, believers, and anything that has to do with religion and I am not comfortable with that. Last week his elder brother had a heart attack(we live in the same estate), while his brother's wife and family were praying for him, my husband who is a doctor came and told them to shut up and allow him do what he can, he said instead of wasting their time praying to an imaginary God they should go and get the car ready to take him to the hospital because taking him to the hospital is what will save his life not some empty prayers to an imaginary God. Every body was shocked. His actions like these get me very worried. He is now very open about his unbelief and uses it to mock people that come to talk to him about God or religion. Most people I know now dislike him greatly for his unbelief. Rumors are circulating that he is in a secret cult. My pastor and friends in church don't like him. His family dislike him as well but they can't confront him. People now see me as "the wife of that devil" and I am not comfortable with it at all.

Some days ago I over heard him suggesting to my 6 years old son that the stories in the Bible are mere stories. It started when my son asked him why he doesn't pray together with us. I confronted him and he said he just wanted the boy to know how he feels about the Bible. He then said he will wait for our kids to grow up some more before letting them know his position. But I fear with his present outspoken attitude, he will try to poison their young minds and tell them that all the stories inside the Bible are all lies the way he tells any body that comes his way to either preach to him or engage him in any discussion about religion. We aren't having any problems now but I fear that his increasing outspokenness about his atheism will bring problems in our marriage sooner or later. I just hope he will keep quite and keep everything to himself they way he used to before but he won't. I have talked to him but he won't listen. He doesn't go about telling people that they should become atheist like him, but the way he goes about mocking religion and believers when ever the topic comes up is driving me mad. I really fear for our kids. What if something happens to me? I know my kids will become atheist like him, because he will poison their minds. What do I do now? I am really confused. I need advice from matured minds here. Please this should not be taken to the front page. I just want to read the contributions of the matured minds in here. Thank you

My summary is this : Your husband has noticed a particular flaw in you that's making him more outspoken with his religion, firstly check yourself...and am not saying you act all S.U around him just do some internal check upon yourself then lastly pray for your husband! God still sits on the throne in heaven, he will answer.
P.S Don't think you can change him...never think so!

This is not my first time of seeing something like this, I won't believe it until its the headline of Nigerian newspaper...until then keep speculating.

Thank God for the test. Just want to ask if anyone has an idea as to when the scores would be displayed or the shortlisted candidates be contacted for a board interview? Just asking because this wait is tiring!

omograndma:
dollyB come see for yourself!!!

My brother you sure coz it just doesn't seem to add up

What?...A 2013 model VW Polo for 1.5 sounds too good to be true.

Whoa the OP really did make my evening....introvert all the way.

I don't mean to sound rude or condescending but there are some issues that needs to be addressed. You are a graduate either B.Sc or HND, you are eligible to apply, not "soon to be graduates". Secondly let the thread discuss helpful questions and not questions like

molenubi:
guys pls when then say "state" is it state of origin or the state one lives in?

please! Lastly let's think of positive ways forward and not

cuteguy007:
LMAO! You don't have a top federal connection and you're seeking a military job in Nigeria. Thanks for wasting your money on the FG. If you have no very top military officer or a very top federal govt official, better save that money you want to use to purchase that form or better give the money to the poor around you.
They are not interested in giving you a job, they are interested in generating revenue by sale of forms and then giving their own persons the job.
Better use your energy to improve your skills and search for private jobs.

that!. Thanks!

don4real18:
And who told you that Google's office in Nig don't pay tax

U don't understand my standing.

For all those screaming their lungs out that the whole recruitment is a scam abeg check well or better still use a reasonable phone
