If there are 100 open slots...
and 10,000 wrote the exam...
but 800 passed,

they will still take only 100 applicants.

If you were hired, will you still believe it is unfair?

Ladies got it easier. Smart ones find ways to get married before 25. The ones in denial about the reality called Nigeria keep living on false hopes until at 30, no decent job and prospect of marriage dwindles exponentially. Then depression sets in bringing more wrinkles to the face. Then they have to compete with those who were 14 and now 20.

Sorry, but I don't believe it was due to connections


What the guy who posted this is implying is that he expects everyone who applied for the job to get the job.

That's not how it works.

Take the recent NNPC recruitment. Apparently those who passed got it via corruption. What those who should corruption don't tell you is.that 45000 people were vying for 6000 jobs.

There was no connection. OP did not get the job because he was not good enough.

kikero:
The article is full of flawed assumptions

Op says that less than 20%of the people interviewed got the job, therefore they used connections

And he offers no proof

Was he expecting government to dash him job?

Mod you have to delete this thread because, they're proper channels to follow if you want to get things done in the right way and clearly this isn't!

Damseldammie:
Securing a govt job in Nigeria is all about connection, which has been in existence since the time immemorial .... Ki Olórun sàánú fún wa (Àmín Olóun)

Mowsid:
Everything in this country is through connection and slot. These days people do pay to get jobs. A woman paid #700k for a federal job worth 450k annually . You actually need money to get money

Nigeria case worse ooo...That's how one of my friend that went for police screening last year narrated a story to me.. They ask them to run 5Km race and he came first..The Oga said to him; " You are disqualified! you are not running like a police officer, you are running like a thief"..

usman3688:


Maybe there still is. My brother got a job with FIRS this year based on Merit. He just submit his CV through a friend that works there and behold he was called for appointment letter a month after. No follow up nothing. I think it was a Devine connection sha

Gbangasawyer:
It's like Every Recruitment under Buhari administration (APC) is nothing but a scam, from customs to Nscdc to INEC recruitment all are inconclusive.

But they can easily recruit police Constables that are ssce and they soldiers too so they can sacrifice them to Boko Haram.

APC = scam

Emmy3:
This country done bad so tey people go dey look you like alien if you dey upright.

But OP, test score is not the only criteria that an employer considers.
Others factors like:
Specific Skills Sets,
Work experience (the most important),
Education and Credentials,
Social/Public/Criminal records are also considered.

But laslas we go dey upright....
I pray God give you a better job.

Who said that written exam is the only criterion for employment in Nigeria? They could be quota system at play as well.

The problems of Nigeria are Nigerians. A simple case study can't be analysed by the so called educated on nairaland. If 1000 people apply for 10 slots, the most transparent thing to do is to count 10 names from the top downward. That will mark the cutoff. Infact 93% can be a cut off mark. If we have many people with the same mark as the cut off, subject them to further examination or interview. This is not rocket science.
