I Will Never Apply For A Federal Government Job Again Without Strong Connection by Basalt(m): 10:23am On Sep 28, 2018
Those of you who did FRSC physical screening at 82 division Enugu will agree with me that applying for federal government jobs without knowing anyone at the helm of affairs is a WASTE OF RESOURCES, WASTE OF ENERGY AND WASTE OF TIME.

In the entire country, 4600 people will be employed and the possition I applied for is officer cadre and from a reliable source, only 400 people will be taken for that position.

Now let's do a little mathematics.
In my screening center alone, we were over 4000 BSc holders that applied for officer cadre.

Remember 400 is needed in the entire country for the position of officer cadre.
400/37 is approximately 11


It means that only 11 people out of over 4000 applicants will be chosen from Enugu state.

Out of the 11 people, how many politicians have slots? But let assume its strictly based on merit.
11/4000 x 100 = 0.275%
Which means anyone that applied stands a 0.275% cry chance of getting the job and 99.725% chance of not getting the job. cry

My question is now, why wasting money buying white shoes, white shorts and polo and spending on transport and food when you know your chances of getting the job is just 0.275%?

I will never ever ever apply for anything federal government job again unless I have a strong connection I rather channel that energy, time and Resources in something productive.
I also implore jobless graduates to start something that brings money, atleast from there you grow higher and higher while waiting for your dream job because indeed these people (politicians) don't mean well for the youths in this country

I am not against trying, but as for me, I rather channel that energy in something else and only apply when I am sure of strong connection

I stopped hoping or believing in any government job since 2011/12, when I got involved in NSIFT recruitment.

After paying about 2 to 3k in the bank, to enable me get a code/number for filling the form online. We were called for test. After the test they contacted successful candidates. After 2 interviews they said our names had been sent to FCC..... Federal character commission.



99.9% of those names sent never got the job.




I personally went to their Abuja office and I was opportuned to meet a well dressed driver, who came to collect appointment letter for his madam's daughter who just finished schooling abroad and was on her way back to Nigeria

Impressive calculations.

That's why I didn't apply in the first place. The process is not a safe one, talkless of been fair.

However, you never can say, luck may smile on you & i wish you the best.

He didn't give me the info just like that. I engaged him in a long discussion. I also didn't let him know I'm an applicant.

Nigeria Railway Corporation worst past. I could remembered at Ibadan terminal, we are almost 6000 that came to write that simple test, up till date i did not hear anything about NRC, all i heard was they had called people to resume job without screening and i begin to Wonder that on what basis do they use to employ those called then my instinct those me, it is on Political who knows who level that is when i retired from applying for Federal government job. In this Nigeria, nothing like merit again...if one need merit he or she should begin what will brings merit to him. Our government cannot help anybody except your are ready to shine their shoes and wash their cars like boy-boy.

Lol. Na now you know?
Federal government jobs are just scam.

I lost interest after the last immigration recruitment.
Most of the people succesful in the recruitment are usually those that either bought the slots or have strong connection there

Lalasticlala this deserves a front page, let them know the injustice they melt out to the youths

I remembered vividly the immigration brouhaha. When I saw the crowd, I immediately concluded that I was there to play.

I was corporately dressed so I decided to have fun with the show, come and see crowd.

Test sheet did not go round, so people were making copies of it. In my mind, I was like is this exam? I just form official there, directing them on what and what not to do and they were all saying sir sir! grin

You need to see how graduates were manhandled. It was a pitiable state. I felt like that was the best time for youth revolution but nobody seem to be thinking in my direction.

All in all, it is always good to try despite the odds. Ask baba Ijebu for tutorials on that.

Truth is that na Man know Man, A replacement was just concluded in the federal civil service. Guy, vacancy Slot are sold for at least 700k depends on direct or through middle men. Documentation are about to be concluded in various ministry, department and agencies. if you have your cash, go to Head of civil service office at federal secretariat Abuja and talk to coded men or newly employed guys to guide you. Jobs are been bought now, believe it or not

My cv dey house I cannot suffer myself again looking for there government job is base on connection not just connection but strong connection. In my own case they gave me appointment letter on one of the reputable ministry in Nigeria,Abuja to be precise but what happen the day I was suppose to resume office they practically told me it was a mistake I looked and just laughed the HR manager asked me why I'm I laughing I said I'm done searching for job as I was talking one guy just came in smelling alcohol says he is here for his appointment letter! He then mentioned a name na so the HR manager say you were suppose to resume work today the boy said he cannot resume today till the following day as for me I went outside and waited for the guy to come outside so as to discuss with him, as we were discussing he later opened up that the job he got was for another guy that the guy was suppose to resume today self I say really he said yes!na so I jejely waka commot thank God I started something on my own, to God be the glory I'm seeing progress in what I do. Forget naija na the rich the get everything.
