How Do You Expect A Job Seeker To Pay N480k Before Getting A Job? by Kolenda(op): 9:33pm On May 23, 2022
I just feel so bad for my elder bro who has been underemployed since he finished his service year.

Our joy knew no bounds when he called and informed everyone in the family that he will be going to Lagos for a job interview.

What actually happened was that a friend of his contacted him about an opening in their company.

The friend works with one QI group of companies.

The QI group of companies is supposed to be an international organizations that pays in dollars.

So my elder brother left Owerri to Lagos on a night bus yesterday. He was well received by his friend and according to him, he did the interview with some representatives of the company.

After the interview, he was asked to pay a whopping sum of 480k for the slot.

My questions now are: how and where will an unemployed get money to pay for a job slot?

If someone can be able to make 480k, why will the person be job hunting?

Is QI group of companies even legit or a scam?
Why can't the government really regulate all these thing?

This county na man chop man...
Now my brother has left Lagos for Owerri this night.

I can't imagine what he's going through. The financial stress, the emotional stress, the psychological stress and what have you.
I pray God showers his blessings on him.

No legit company will ask for money to secure slot for a job. The country is hard and is getting harder everyday the rich keep getting richer while the poor are at the mercy of God.

May everyone reading this who are working hard experience breakthrough in their life.

This is just like a norm now.


Tell your brother to run ooooo. He should keep applying. E go sure one day.

Before una sell family land or property, tell him to tell them to collect the money from his salary. Let him sign agreement with them. The 480k should be deducted from his salaries.

Okay
Re: How Do You Expect A Job Seeker To Pay N480k Before Getting A Job? by Jennyclay(f):
Nigeria is damaged beyond repair.

Your brother should rally round for the money. He should call his friends to surprise him with the money for slot.

Afterall, that's what our politicians who bought ₦100 million presidential form did... So, I suggest you tell your brother's friends to surprise him too.

Re: How Do You Expect A Job Seeker To Pay N480k Before Getting A Job? by Freeko4:
Payment to secure a job has been going on for long in Nigeria. I remember way back when a VC of a federal university made available more than 100 vacant position for applicant to apply in the university but the downside of the vacant job is that you'll have to pay as low as 200k to secure a slot.

I feel your brother's pain, in no time he will get a job and also he should be mindful of the kind of jobs he applies for because we have alot of scam organizations that are disguised to be a legit organization but they are out to swindle people.

Are you sure his friend is not in this with the organization to scam your brother?
Most companies that demand money for a job slot are scam.

Although there are instances in Nigeria when a job seeker is told to pay for the job but in most cases its government work (not right but it happens) . Ask your brother if he trusts his friend enough to believe that he won't scam him. And also be very sure that the friend works withe the firm and his standard of living is in line with the status of the said firm, make he no be say na pyramid employment dem dey run o. Like bring 1 or two staffs to confirm your appointment with the firm and those 2 will bring more to confirm theirs too. etc

Common, immigration service commission in Abuja asked my friend to pay 600k for a slot. Nigeria is corrupt, same as the foreign investors in this country.

Thread carefully, for a private company it could be a scam.

On to your question, people actually pay for jobs especially federal civil service and parastatal slots. It's an open secret but these things do happen.

Despite this corrupt practice some people still get such jobs on merit by God's grace, tell your brother not to relent.

Either they’re trying to scam your brother or a shady deal is being perpetrated by the staff of the company. Regardless, tell your brother to run for his life because it may be even a staged interview by fake people claiming to be representing the company. I’ve been duped of over 700k before all in the name of paying for a slot. Do not allow desperation land you into regret. God’s time is the best man. Wait for it.
