I agree that there is no form of comparison with the way David became king in the place of Saul
And the way people buy, cunny, nepotismise their way to positions not meant for them.

It's a sham and an abuse of the word grace e and a blatant show of lack of structure in a place where people who are not meant for a position are put there

I mean to do what
How would the business work
What standard will be set for others coming behind

When you hear such it's usually in jobs where you don't require specific previous technical skills. Eg banking. If you somehow manage to get a job you don't only qualify but don't also have the neccessary skills to do, it's only a matter of time you can't sustain that job. Someone can't come and share a testimony that he got employed as a doctor without sufficient knowledge of what it takes to be a doctor. Even God won't allow that kind of miracle come your way. You really don't require a lot of technical skills to be a banker in Nigeria for example. Just be generally bright and willing to learn cos most of these organizations spend money and time training new intakes. So I see nothing wrong in that kind of testimony neither do I believe it means mediocrity.

Not entirely correct. When some people say they got a job they are not qualified for, it is not because they lack the capacity to do the job; what they may lack is the prerequisite paper qualifications. For example, if I've been working in an organization for 4 years and I've shown competence, then a managerial position opens up for which, if advertised to the public, the requirements would be 7 years experience in that positional capacity and maybe a particular certification. However, based on my track records within the organization and leadership skills I have exhibited, I get promoted to that position, then I truly got a job that I'm not qualified for. This can also apply for an external job I apply for. My CV and interview can show that I'm capable even if I don't particularly meet the defined criteria set.

Ok.There's another angle to it. The employer knows you are not qualified for the job but has decided to train you to get the skills you need. This happens when the person has shown potentials for grasping things quickly. Trust me, it's not always a bad thing.

Not being qualified for a job doesn't mean you can't perform excellently well if given the opportunity. You could self-develop with a lot of online stuff and tutorials.

I should know, I've done it! wink


help us with some examples of such

Go and ask tony elumelu. He was not qualified for banking job because he had a 2:2. Bro there is something called GRACE OF GOD that you don't understand. Some people may not be qualified by virtue of age or fitness but they turn out to be the best. It happens bro

Those qualified people may not have the zeal, may be too pompous, or may have character issues. Will you like that person to work for you?

There's nothing wrong with engineers or geologists or any other non-finance professional working in banks. One's first degree has little to do with job prospects but rather with cognitive skills. Mind you, this is not a "Nigerian" thing.

You have a point

And what if the person going into the job with a lack of qualifications makes mistakes that lead to the wrecking of our Nigerian economic system, and our system of governance.

Let's not justify bad things in the name of religion. Am sure you won't like it if you went to a government hospital and got treated by someone who is not qualified for the job of treating you, yet got there via 'connections'...and has even done his thanksgiving in chruch.

You Nigerians are the problem with this country,honestly.

Abeg go and sleep. When you get an oil company job as a Yoruba education graduate, please reject it. Be forming holier than thou. Nigeria where jobs are more scarce than diamond. I repeat, anyone that gets a job he is not qualified for should do Thanksgiving in church. Because na baba God do am for am.

If you don't agree, you can take a swim in the Arctic ocean.

All of you that liked his comment, same goes to y'all!
