Northern borders are porous... So they don't need much customs. But the southern border is more guarded... So they needed to employ more from Lagos... grin grin cheesy

The spoon used in feeding the East during Buhari's regime, is now been used to feed the entire North

They entire south east and south south got less than 200 slots....this extreme tribalism and yorubalization is pushing Nigeria to precipice!
I have said it severally,no tribe is half as tribalistic as Yorubas,get an employment in an office with majority Yorubas,you are finished,they will speak only their language to make sure you are put out of daily activities in that office,you will be most likely stagnated,infact you may be forced to sign your resignation and the next day one Bayo,that is a messenger in that office will be instantly elevated to takeover your position.
Just look at what is happening at the national level,thankGod all Nigerians are witnessing it firsthand.

Federal Character has rendered Nigeria comatose. Let the best be recruited.
However, not in support of the unprecedented NEPOTISM of Tinubu government.

Make una dey try present una head line well, it should be south have more slot than the north , not Lagos have more slot than the north
Re: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by NewHe: 9:27am On Oct 30, 2025
These people are very selfish. Over the years more than 3decades the Northern people dominated the customs based on connection and never on Federal character, but now when proper recruitment exercise was carried out with meritorious candidates emerging, they are crying!
Re: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by Honeydew3040: 9:27am On Oct 30, 2025
If the borders in the north are opened for bandits, and then the borders in the south are protected, them let's a mathematics how many borders are in the north, and how many borders are in the south, and even the money for salaries is also from the south, then the south have it bcuz no be all force Una go just full like say na Una birth Right

Shawarmagirl:
Do you now see why I admonished people not to waste their precious time and resources to apply for any federal government top jobs except you know one Governor, Senator or House of Rep member?

Even if you go ahead to apply as a civilian and scale through the test and screening, you'll still not make it to the final stage.

I was once a secretary to NDLEA commander in one of the state, and I know the names handed to me to type.

If you want to get any Federal jobs, just apply for police and Army your name will be shortlisted asap.
😂😂😂😂😂
Last paragraph got me (police and army)

pongwa:
can he also show us data for the past five years?
That is the only way to confront him.

Meanwhile, let assume Federal character was applied and the Northern applicants failed to meet up or pass the process, will Federal character still prevail with mediocre people just to fulfill quota?

If this is an intentional bias against the North, the recruitment exercise should be reviewed to correct it
Re: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by regenerateman(m): 9:30am On Oct 30, 2025
What ever goes around comes around. There were massive complaints when DSS carried recruitment exercise under the leadership of Mallam Yusuf Bichi as it's DG, We all knew what transpired during that time. So, nobody should complain now.

That Is What The Northerners Do To The Southerners- once a Southern is in Power,forgetting - THAT MOST OF THE RESOURCES ARE FROM THE SOUTH!
1. WHAT HAS BE THE CONTRIBUTION OF ZANFARA ,etc,to National Development?
How come Zanfara State have more Local govt than some States in the East?
What has been the total Contributions of Jigsaw,Yobe,Zanfara,Nassarawa,Borno- to our Development?
Is is about Terrorists and Bandits Contributions - since their leaders called Yesufu-brought in Bokoham, during OBJ Era?
Kiss 😘 the TRUTH!

In as much as i believe, merit based recruitment into organizations are the way to go! Northerners have for a long time turned federal jobs into personal gains they use to reward their kins. Go to BOI, CBN, DPR, NNPC, FIRS, NA, NN, Airforce, Customs, Immigration etc. and do a census to determine the number of people from Northern extractions in those places.

You'd see that the injustice this man so claims to be meted to them as a region is what they have been doing for a long time coming to other regions. If someone is trying to put a balance to it. I do not object. This country belongs to everyone, from East to West, North to South and we all deserve to be equally represented.

See who is talking about Federal Character? The term, " Federal Character" [/b]should not be in the same sentence with any major northern politician. Even though the present government has not done enough in terms of federal character, Nigerians should all rise together to condemn injustices in whatever form. I have noticed that most people in Nigeria feel alright if things do not affect them but cry foul when the tides turns. Under Buhari, we witnessed the worst form of nepotism and favoritism, with recklessness without caring at all. Nigeria's leaders would continue to be the bane of Nigeria's underdevelopment. Read Professor Chinua Achebe's book, [b]"The Trouble With Nigeria". You would understand how successive leaderships of the country have all worked together to derail the unity and progress of this nation/

If you are a SE person and you say this, then LOL! What you typed up there is what you guys do normally, the moment it doesnt happen your way, you start shouting tribalism. You enter an office of 10 people with 8 SE, they will never speak english. Its a FACT! you'd be lost as to what's happening! Same goes for an Hausa/Yoruba person in the same scenario.

Way out - Ban local dialect with severe consequences for offenders in Government Establishments!

When you do the arithmetics of the figures shown in this report, you'll discover that the Southeast and Southsouth regions were left to share a paltry 322 slots! Yet during elections, some people will come and divide the two regions by demonizing the southeast before the Southsouth people and making them believe that Igbos are their problems! At the end of the day both regions get cheated when the national largesse is being shared. The marginalisation of the southeast and Southsouth regions of this country is just too glaring in all sectors of the country's economy! It's too bad for a supposed "one Nigeria"

Please do us a favor and tell the population distribution of Customs officers prior to Tinubu.
Do same for EFCC, NNPC, CBN, EFCC, NPF, NA. We will take up your complaint as soon as you provide the stats.
When Buhari turned Federal positions to Tribal Patronage you people were gleeful. Now that PBAT is continuing from where Bubu stopped you want to call Town-hall meeting?
APC is too sectional

Karma is a bitch. This is the way it has always been. I can remember when the North took the lion share in DSS recruitment in Buhari's ill-fated regime. And when people complained, the excuse given was that they were doing so to correct the imbalance of the past. So this very recruitment is done this way to correct the imbalance of the past. That is why it must be Tilumbu in 2027 or no one else, because it looks to me like he will do things that the North never thought was possible if reelected. It's my opinion sha.

The North has always commandeered everything military and paramilitary in this country for many decades. So what is wrong if another region uses their time well? It's only South East that I pity, and the day will grab power eh, una go see something. This country has never been fair, but karma is real.

I don't know where this cry is coming from, if you goes to Custom, Immigration, NNPC, NDIC, etc; the official language there is Hausa because they dominates everywhere.
Re: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by Good2go1: 9:58am On Oct 30, 2025
When Buhari did his own he carried the whole northerner region along, it reached southern turn only southwest carry everything to their region ,is that not selfishness and greediness?
Racoon:
Buhari did his own but they kept quiet. Now Tinubu is doing his own now. The seed of discord has long been sown. Earnestly pray another fella would never try this evil on this nation.
