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.

If the OP had been chosen, we wouldn't have seen this here.

Johnnyessence:
you are just saying trash Here. do you scored cut off mark niiii?

In 2016. I applied for EFCC recruitment. Wrote the exams in Gombe, passed and attended medicals in Kaduna. I was called for interview. During the interview we were told we did well and the best of us was even from my LGA in borno state. But after everything, none of us were called. Even the best. He came with MSc forensics computing. He defeated 2 staffs of EFCC during puzzle.

2 of my friends are now detectives from that same recruitment exercises. One didn't even apply and was busy sleeping at home when we were writing exams. The other usually comes to the place of exam, medicals and interview but he didn't partake in any of them. Magu is his dad's friend. The one from zamfara knew one top govt female official

Ollyb10:

Reminds me of how they recruited in a school around me here last year, a Federal University. I didn't even know they were recruiting, only to find out later. No advert was made, nothing. Over 500 people were employed. Ever since then I knew nothing good was going to come out of this country.

Iliyasdass:
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"..

damsberrydammy74:

And since things are not right he should have kept quiet abi

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

Merimental:


somwer in kogi state rite?

vacettetommy:

Pls you mean N450k monthly?

damsberrydammy74:

Always calm down before you comment who told you he didn’t get the cutoff mark or did u write the test, you are the part of the problem of Nigeria

macAB:
graduates in federal ministries get 50k so he is correct

I applied as Detective 1 in the DSS, we were told that only those that score above 50 would be selected in 2007. With over 2000 applicants, I scored 69 and from 2000 the number of applicants reduced to 15 and I was no9 on the list. We had to traveled to Ojoo cantonment in Lagos State for another aptitude and interview. I sourced like 20k, visit a boutique, bought 2 packing shirts, pant trousers, covered shoes, neck tie etc. I was left with the transport fare (to & fro) and feeding allowance.
So sorry to hear about that, I trust God you are in a better position now

We converged at the cantonment, the funniest part was that other States like Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo used government vehicles to convey their applicants to Lagos State.
Fast forward to the interview, I had never owned/ wore a suit in my life, I decided to borrow one from somebody who had been interviewed.

The suit looked like what I can simply describe as "my brother dash me" - over sized. It was my turn to enter, I put my hands in my pocket, trying deceive them on my outfit, one officer just said to me "u go borrow suit?" No sir, I replied.
The following day l went to the officer's mess to eat, I asked for rice and beans #100, they were just laughing at me not knowing that they sell per plate, ask me how much? #300 per plate

After some days we had returned, I went to the command to ask for the outcome, only to be told that the list had been hijacked by the politicians in government house.

Timtellect:


Oga/madam...
Do you understand the difference between state and federal?

mandate12:


U want to know the future of the youths? Keep watching Big Brother Naija. Nonsense

newisd75:
when d is a limited job offers 4 many people, d solution is 2 put things in place 2 reduce d number of people that will apply 4 d job. 4 e.g if d fg has a jobs offer for 800000 people, d can say d price of d job apps form is #200000, where people who paid & did not get the jobs, their money will b refunded with interest

Tonto30:

Yes Federal University Lokoja.

Merimental:


also happened in F.C.E okene.

Desmondum:
I have been hearing people saying this but I never believed, I used to think those people are just finding excuses for their failure. Now it has happened to me.

We applied for advertised jobs at the Oyo State Hospital Management Board around November last year, qualified applicants wrote CBT around February this year. The results were out around March and people who failed and passed were able to see/check their result one way or the other.

Now, wen the list for shortlisted candidates for interview was pasted just last week, it was not up to 10-20% of the people that passed. It became obvious that only connection worked here.

My question now is that, is this how we are going to continue in this country?

What exactly is the future of youths in Nigeria?

For how long are we going to remain this way?

Kindly share your experience if you have passed through a situation like this either on State or Federal level, I would also appreciate other people that applied, passed and denied employment in Oyo State Hospital Management Board to buttress this. I don't want to keep quiet because our silence keep making things worse in this country.

Below is the list of people that passed in my department. I'll upload the few list for the final shortlisted candidates next to it, just 18 people.
Apologies to anyone who might not like his or her name published, but I just have to do this, we can't continue this way in this country.

Mods, I'll really appreciate if you guys can move this to FP.
