This sounds so much incredible and I'm struggling to believe it wasn't made up.

The OP should clear my doubt by making public the names of those involved.

It's not that Nigerian leaders are not capable of anything, but 8 out of 1000 is just undiluted greed.

You self reason am now that's just a paltry 0.8%

Charmingrascal:
Now this people will die miserably and we will be stressing our fingers to type RIP.

I am not saying that there is no corruption involved in the scheme but anybody who believes OP's tale by moonlight needs to go back to kindergarten.

Let's face it. Each local government is entitled to put forward 1000 beneficiaries. Out of this 1000, a fixed percentage is allocated to State Governor and the legislators for their loyals in their constituencies. So what is available to others to share is less than 1000 slots already.

Moreover, in an governorship election year in Ondo State, there is no way only 8 persons will benefit out of 1000 slots.

Moreover, which Kabiyesi would be careless to talk freely about this kind of implicating stuff in presence of stranger.

OP should try harder next time!

Seventy7kings:

op, easy with the lies. First off, slots are allocated to Governors, Senators, members of HoR (regardless of their political party). As a matter of fact, the APC and PDP share the slots in my own LG

Nwoke01:
Op please call names and stop all this secrecy. Do you think they will come here looking for you or what, if you can't call names pls go back to bed.

Similar experience last year. My brother needs admission into unilag. Cut off was very low but a sure link said it’s possible for 100k. I thought it was 419 but paid coz I didn’t want my brother to feel like I didn’t want him to stay home again. My bros got the admission. When I met the link later I asked him how he did it, he said university admission 2nd list, he said there are arrangements and levels. Government get their own slots, State and federal level oh, and even Ministry of education guys, even kings and chiefs of the communities, then VC and lecturers. It’s all about booking slots earlier and making slots available in your own department. There are people with worse cut off chilling inside Unilag while those with higher cut off are looking for admission. If nor enter the merit list you can’t get into the supplementary list unless you get sure link.
If Corruption is human, he is a Nigerian

jamace:
If a leader claims to have integrity and those under him are corrupt, the leader integrity is null and void, and of no consequence.....

A good leader must have integrity and enforce same on his subordinates...

Timagex:
What you saw was a vivid description of how corruption has been embedded in our every day lives in this country. I'm not even suprised that a king can behave like that. There is no accountability. I suggest you start looking for another job, because, anything from "above" is always hijacked by the powerful people. We go survive.



Anyway, I'm a photographer by the way. Dm and let's talk business. I shoot portraits and events. Follow me on Instagram @timagex photography. I'm very affordable. Thanks.

SocialJustice:
This story is false. The oba does not have the right to annex slots as such numbers unless the senator, rep member and every other political office holder in the local government is in on it.

Boss I have a serious business proposal I'll love us to deliberate on it.

when you are good it's hard to believe this kind of story, bcuz u feel no matter how greedy u can be, u can't huge percentage for your self right? Others can take everything. There is the man that went to his village one day and saw his old classmate in a very shabby condition, he promised to assist him, do u know this man sent 2m to him tru one of his worker, but he delivered 50k. What can u say about that? D man returned like almost a year after d gift and still saw his friend in dat same condition, which prompted him to asked what he use d money for, and he said he paid sch fees for his kids and used the remaining to open a kiosk for his wife. The rich guy said how much was the fee u paid? He said 22k and d remaining 28 was for the kiosk. These are people that I know, d giver, delivery man and d receiver. People can do unimaginable things when it comes to money

Your argument is valid but I still doubt OP's story.

If people like you would be smart enough to unwrap mischievously wrapped lies, politicians won't be taking us for a ride. I still don't believe OP's story.

I see vividly how corruption works �
I called a member number from the special public works site (ondo committee 774,000 jobs), the man referred me to a king in the community to get the form from so that I can Register. I got to the oba's palaces yesterday,
I told the security personal I came for the special public works, he look me like a novice, he says he don't know anything about it, he direct me to the secretary, getting to the secretary I asked the same question, she also said she haven't heard about that before, so I take my time to talk her through.

She then told me to wait so that she can deliver my message to the king, to my surprise the king comes out, I pay respect as a Yoruba guy, he ask me who referred me, I told him the name (I don't want to mention names) he pick up his phone and call a number probably he didn't clearly hear the name I called, so he call another member of the committee (I could here the conversation, the phone speaker was loud and clear)
The discussion on phone:

Oba: why do you send someone to me
man:I don't send anybody baba
Oba: a boy came here saying you sent him to me
Man: please give him the phone
(I collect the phone)
Man: why are you lying I sent you
Me: not a lie sir, I call a number from the special public works site.
Man: what's name
Me: Mr.*******(for security purposes I don't want mention name yet)
Man: give oba the phone,
I give back the phone to oba
Man: it's is honorable ***** that sent him
Oba: why is honorable doing like this (in Yoruba), sebi we agreed we are only employing 8 people out of the 1000, why did he send somebody else again
MeI almost fainted after hearing that) Oba: help me tell your people not to refer anybody to the job again oo please
(Phone hang up).
He then told me to write my name and phone number.... So I left the place.

I have been thinking about it since yesterday, am even less concerned about me getting the job My main concern is even if you want to embezzle money, why must you go so far and deep? it will even be better to employ 500 people and you can embezzle the remaining 500 out of the 1000 beneficiaries..why will you plan to embezzle 992 out of 1000. That's too much, leaving only 8?
@fkeyamo fought a good fight by not allowing the project been hijacked.. but it will still end in vain because there will be so many ghost worker that will get paid during this program.
Imagine if what I experience is likely what is happening in major local government.

The problem with Nigerians is that they don't know their real problem.
When you heap blame and complain about poor Federal governance alone but forget your LGA chairman, your elders and state government EXIST.
We go to Church/ Mosque praying for a good road, hospitals and schools still on election day is either we are at home or somewhere chanting
Sai baba, pdp, apc.
The solution to Nigeria is right in front of us but tribalism, religion and ethnicity wont LET US SEE IT.

Well all I can say is ANOTHER ONE.
