The issues Lai Mohammed raised should not be dismissed like that.

A simple accusation like that can spiral into something else. Fine, he didn't mention FAAN recruitment, but if they will go after NIS recruitment, then it is possible they can go after this FAAN recruitment too. The incoming government can even terminate recently employed personnel if they feel the recruitment was a sham to destabilize them.

So let those of us who tweet, go and reply Lai Mohammed and caution him and the APC about trying to play politics with the recruitment. They should understand the process started long before elections. I know they tweet, so they will get the message.

I voted GMB, and I believe our voices will be heard if we make some noise. Our noise can push FAAN to respond sef, who knows.

Ejimike:
Did anybody have an idea when FAAN did their last recruitment and the number of candidates recruited.

You said IDEA, so I will give you an info I got that is not confirmed.
Their last recruitment was in 2006 as I heard, but I don't know how many they recruited.

I think the APC is being unfair in their accusation of the NIS recruitment being a sham. This is because the NIS recruitment is a correction of the last year's attempt.
Besides the advertisement for the process started before the elections, so why are they crying foul?
But I do understand their fear for the rushed privatization of some government agencies.

KAYNINI:
nolonger false isi ukwa

Hahahaahahahaa... U go like trouble well well

Hahahahahahahahaha

I keep laughing at all these contradicting info from the same FAAN office.

Abeg make una start to dey tell us position of the people/source wey dey feed una info.

E.g. 'I called one SENIOR/JUNIOR/Gateman/Secretary staff of FAAN and he/she said'

Make we fit know how to analyse the info kwanu!!!

dydx123:
Please a word of advice: Change your source. He/she is feeding you with a load of absolute bull (quote me when the list comes out). It`s not like some of us are not connected to the very top (more than anyone can imagine), it`s just that if we talk too much our identities would be exposed and would be like we are exposing insider information which won't go down well with our benefactors. What nonsense! No be only resume na promotion dem give dem sef.

Can you imagine the guy? Either true or false info. Why should anybody be encouraging people to peddle false info?
This is crazy mehn!!

Juonx:
Ranting n lamenting about those who lost hope..if u v so Much of it i guess U shouldn't b ere monitoring ppl's post. Talking about faith u nid know aw i was interviewd n aw my level of faith broke all protocols.. so b reasonable wen addressing ppl u hardly know cos U r exercising ur faith

Young man, how did you do your interview? Is it different from how the rest of us did ours?

I still insist that it is people like you who didn't perform well in the interview that are hoping this process doesn't end well. Especially those of you who have godfathers and are hoping they can use them to gain advantage.

Too bad for you lots. No godfatherism this time around. Let the best people win. Stop peddling false info, and quit thinking senators/governors/anyother politician can tamper with the FAAN list.

Yes, Arrant Nonsense!!!

KAYNINI:
false

Is it still false?? Isi aki

It is indeed funny how most of you who failed the test/PFT, or didn't perform well in the interview or have no hope at all in the process seem to be the ones posting bad info here.
I wonder if it is the same FAAN source I got my info from that you people are getting yours from.
If people have been selected and training started, trust me I would know. I ply the airport route, where the training takes place, often an nothing is going on there.
So shut the hell up people. Simply because you have no stake/hope in the process doesn't give you the right to spoil others' hope.
Arrant Nonsense!!!

President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Suleiman Abba.

He has also appointed DIG, Solomon Arase, as Acting IGP with immediate effect.

Now can anyone explain why this is happening now?

cc lalastical

Funny enough Ibro2star's information just confirmed what I already thought.

Ofcourse govt officials will be frustrated with the FAAN recruitment process, because many of them can't help their candidates since it is a free and fair process. We can imagine someone telling Ibro2star that he will not rest until he helps him, even though he knows the guy doesn't have a test score sef.

They will continue being frustrated, but they can't taint the process.

The information I got is that not many people in FAAN have access to list. Only a select few do an have seen it. That is why all our contacts keep telling us to pray, because they don't know for certain themselves.

But know this, the list is complete and ready. I hear this from a top FAAN man in Lagos. Nothing like cancellation at all. The only thing is that this top shot himself couldn't access the list, because it is protected seriously against tampering. He was only able to inform me that 2 people were selected from Plateau state for SO II. An he got that info because he is from plateau and wanted to check for his person, I guess, then he asked me to pray.

So I smiled and thanked him.

I checked the list for plateau an realised only 8ppl were selected for PFT. So I am guessing not all participated, then again maybe not all mae it past PFT and then again, maybe the few that did didn't perform well in the interview.

So you see house, there hope. The list will not be tainted. I know some topshots will try, but they won't succeed. Maybe that is why they want to delay till May 28, so that all these worrying politicians can leave office and leave them to do the normal thing.

Let us all be hopeful and prayerful. Let those who can reach the numbers keep trying. Make we shake small for concrete info from FAAN na

So Ibro2star, are you seriously not going to share your information with the house??

timbros:


Onu ikputu

Hahahahahahahahaa....See my Nsukka brother o

kaiye:
hello, is no one with any recent info?

It seems the people with info/contacts/source don't want to share it anymore.

So no one has information to share??
Where are our people with contacts na? LoL

teetopalad:
I can see u really do not know the criteria used to shortlist candidates, According to FAAN site, Candidates compete with others for slot allocated to their state. I don't wanna know wat your score is but u should know that surely more than 60% of those shortlisted from UR state under ASS & SC probably score more than u. Mr!
so if they had applied like u, one of them would have taken UR slot. like it or not, this is d truth.
Lest I forget, it was categorically stated on FAAN site that "CANDIDATE WITH M.SC ARE CONSIDERED OVER QUALIFIED FOR SECURITY CADET AND ASSISTANT FIRE SUPERINTENDENT" only.
note: they only said M.sc so what's u guys problem abt B.sc people for Gods sake?
habaa! na busy they worry una!

I will state it now, I scored 83%. Now you were saying??

DeanOlamide:
Kiddo that can give ur jobless life job........ Yes your jobless life. If u had said this one on one u think u will survive me? Becarefull how u spew those thing out of ur mouth.......

It is alright!!

DeanOlamide:
Na u sabi................ hope u will tell us about ur status at the end of d day? Mr know know

There is that silliness again...kiddo!!

So APC are the people taking action.
Yet many of you here will go on about how Jonathan is the best president the country has ever had. The man has not come out to make a statement while our brothers are being lynched and killed in SA.
It is a pity, really!!

DeanOlamide:
Bros no mind this guy again........ E belike say english language na him problem....... Minimum is in the dictionary he should get the meaning before coming here to argue blindly.

I just feel sorry for you. You are hyperactive for nothing.
It is really silly.

teetopalad:
Bro, I need to correct u cos u are wrong!
1. security cadet is not for SSCE holders, in fact none of all d vacancies has SSCE as minimum requirement.
2. Majority who applied for lower cadre job with higher qualifications simply do that out of their discretion mainly to increase their chances, like me now, immediately I saw that level 8 combines B.sc&HND, It took me only one minute to decide on level 7, cos anyone familiar with mass recruitment moreso in 9ja will know that d competition @ DAT category 8 will b too high &ur chances low. cos I know that more than 90% of youth unemployed are in that category (B.sc/HND). So, y won't I choose lower cadre if that could guarantee me better chance( isn't 1/2 bread better than none).
3. It is not our nairaland complaint that influence their decision to accept, rather it is d persistence of many candidate and their troubling them both @ d centres & on their contacts including email & phone. In Lagos they refuse to let them be & hang around in d premises. Many of d officials who interview us are not involved in shortlisting hence they had to hold meeting & agree to continue d process next day & pass d info across to other centers.
Finally, NOTE THIS:
IF u fall into category level 8 & have made it to interview level, & if majority of those u are condemning for choosing lower cadre had applied for level 8 as well, U PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THE SHORTLIST IN THE FIRST PLACE!
so pls, learn to respect people's decision, it is their descretion.
thanks.

Listen to me young man. I am not condemning anyone here.
I am telling what happened in my centre in Enugu. I never heard of nairaland until it was mentioned by the FAAN official. If you check my profile you will see I just registered recently. So I know what I am talking about.

About you thinking my chances would have dwindled had all of you applied directly for SO II is bull-crap. My score got me selected, not the number of people who applied/wrote the test. Hope you know that the score used for considering ASS and Security cadet were lower than the score used for selecting those of us in SO II. So you see, if you had applied directly, you most probably wouldn't have been selected for PFT. So save me that crap.

Lastly, there were 3 categories for security and 3 for fire. Now I am certain you didn't really read the instructions on the site.

[quote author=DeanOlamide post=32819433][/quote]I did my PFT in Enugu.
After our physical exercise on the 2nd day, a FAAN official came to address us about complaints from online mediums. He mentioned Nairaland. That is how I even found out about this forum.
The morning we were interviewed, one of the interviewers came to address us again. This time he mentioned ppl with cases like these. Prior to that day, people were being sent out for being over qualified for positions. Yes, again he said because of our complaints they would be upgraded.
I am only just saying, and am saying the truth. There was a simple instruction on the site and people just flouted it.

berryaustin:
Pls does anyone have the list for ASS candidates? kindly insert a link to view it on this thread

Why are all of you asking from the link to the lists? If you have any information share it here. What relevance is there to those lists you people keep asking for?
Please no one should drop links for these people until they tell us here why they keep asking for it.

DeanOlamide:
Sorry did u read the application instructions very well? They said minimum of OND or NCE and not MAXIMUM..... So with ur BSC u can as well dive into it....... Personally I applied for Security cadet and I have an OND and BA when I got to d interview section I was upgraded that doesn't mean they won't decide not to release my name under security cadet whatsover....... Anyone wey enter no wahala so don't make it look as if there is a big deal for a BA to apply for an OND position.... They said MINIMUM of OND and in ENugu center majority of those in SC were virtually graduates and were all attended to with respect.


But this Nairalanders ehn una too get wahala, why bringing this irrelevant issue up..... Make una do well biko......

Since you had a BA why didn't you just apply for SO II directly? Why did you apply with your OND.
Security Cadet is for SSCE holders, why will you apply for that?
If you are familiar with mass recruitment exercises, you will know that when they grade cadres and put minimum qualifications on each cadre, you are expected to apply for the one your qualifications falls into the minimum.
This is not logic, it is just the way it is. Most of you erred in that regard. But it is a good thing they stopped chasing people out, then again Nairaland should be thanked for that since it was complaints from here that were addressed.

yemostar:
well bro i actually agree with you... but one of my course mate applied for a lower cadre but was sent away from the premises wen he was asked for OND cert and he presented Bsc cert. My question to the house is, why did the Bsc holders here applied for the lower cadre position when they could clearly see the certificate required is OND! Was it to increase their chances of getting the job?

I have also wondered about this too. I don't understand why they chose to apply for the lower cadre positions.
I know they chased people like that away on the first day, but after they complained here on Nairaland, the officials then decided to move them up and ask them questions from their appropriate cadre.
But that day I did my interview, I sensed the irritation on the faces of the interviewers though.

mobhorlarjee:
SORRY HOUSE, HAVE FAAN COMMENCE INTERVIEW FOR THE LAST TWO SET OF PEOPLE THAT DID THE PHYSICAL TRAINING EXERCISE OR THEY'VE BONE THEM OR THEY'VE CALLED SOME FOR THE INTERVIEW? PLS I NEED RESPONSE. THANKS

I don't want to sound harsh, but just forget it. No one will be called for interview again. The recruitment process has ended.

Ekaka1:
Look at the flip side, in country where police mount illegal check points and you're constantly reminded of impostors in uniforms robbing, raping and killing citizens his first instinct must have been flight,...
By the way, how come it's your responsible/respectable police force not doing the chase in line with their procedures using the proper equipment and tactics from their training school.
How come they claimed They were robbers when the occupants of the vehicle posed no threat to them other than the fact that they did not stop for the police. Did the navy officer shoot at anybody with His service pistol, did he threaten to harm anybody.....that country is on a reverse unless something happens quickly. People 's lives devalued to the extent that they're now roasted like chickens on our streets and you come here to defend the police?

So after reading my comment you are able to deduce that I am defending the police? Hmmm...contunu!!!
How do you expect the police to make a senseless chase into an area that a robbery is taking place? They were doing their duty by condoning off and restricting access to & from the affected area. Isn't that sensible??

Did you read the story at all? Or do you just like to insult and blame the Nigerian Police too?

How some of us reason sometimes truly baffles me.

nationwide1:
The most sensible post on this thread so far. Military men behave as gods whenever and wherever they encounter police.


His death which was very avoidable should best be attributed to arrogance on his part, then barbarism on the part of the citizens who killed him. I wish Buhari can also change that mentality in the military when he comes on board.

My heart felt condolence to the family. RIP.

I have seen them act like this first hand. Even young police officers do this to their colleagues on the road. It annoys me a lot.
One time I had a very bitter argument with a friend of mine after we were stopped at a check point. We were about four boys in his car, and the check point was in front of Area F police station. He just stated talking down on the officers for no just cause. I was irritated, just because you have a car doesn't make you better than policemen on duty.
I told him outright that he screwed up and that I didn't like what he did. It generated into a heated argument, to the point that he had to drop me so we don't fight. I just told my other friends they were wrong to allow him think he was right by keeping quiet.

It is really sad. This young man could have avoided being lynched if he had stopped for the police officers and identified himself.

That is the problem with military men. Always looking down on the police.
If he had stopped and identified himself to the policemen, he would be alive now. But they like to downgrade and insult police officers.
I feel sorry for you bro, but this could have been avoided.
I wonder why people still do jungle justice, una no fit beat person then hand am over to police? Haba!!! Animals every where pretending to be human beings.

ukeme200:
I protected him cos I wasn't sure abt his identity.. It's not scam, he actually needed the documents in his mail box to fasten his job of documentation/tracing. He later told me dat he has seen my file, dat it wasn't missing(he wanted to be fast instead of sorting try hipp of files in his office. I asked him when FAAN is likely to call us, he said he can't disclose d date to me, but very soon we shall be contacted via d appropriate channel.

Okay, let us hope he doesn't ask you for money. If he does, then let us have his number and disgrace him. But trust me, he will ask you for money very soon.
