If she got you the prestigious job, who will be running around, doing her dirty jobs for her? You should know that humans are naturally selfish and wicked. Juts be bold and and take a walk, brother. Yours will locate you, but I really hate the pattern she's using to torment you. She's giving you unrealistic hope

Same story here, I completed my nysc in 2013, had a contract job with ppmc, got admission for an Msc program which I completed in 2018, moved to Abuja to stay with an uncle who encourage me to come so he can help find me a job because the contract job was terminated in 2016. I came into Abuja, my uncle and the wife asked me to work in their eatry while looking for job with 30k salary. Omo I recently left their house and their job because I found out that they don't have genuine mindset to help rather to manage their business for a peanut. I have huge responsibilities which I couldn't take care of. My advice, look for help else way, don't entirely hope on him or her, as far as he has pushed the relatives employment, he doesn't been well for you.
Hope you don't mind if pm if that job you left is available lipsrsealed

Those people saying you should walk away knows nothing about life. You needed to be used to become something in life. To become a master you need to be a servant. Getting jobs in Nigeria you have to know somebody that knows somebody. Breaking into that inner circle is hard bros.

Please calm down, accept the Junior job, finish your PHD, and when opportunity knocks again be on ground to grab it.

I graduated from the university seven years ago. After my youth service, I went back to my school for a postgraduate program. It took me four years to complete the program due to death of my supervisor and ASUU strikes.

But in between the four years, my hod called and ask me what I do. When she learnt I was unemployed, she asked me to come over to the department and start working as a casual staff for 20k salary. I had to accept since she needed someone skillful in MS office computer packages, beside I have done a lot of odd jobs before then which couldn't feed me let alone paid my rents and school fees.

Then, last year while doing the job, the university commenced recruitment which was very massive, but underground. God being so faithful, I was able to graduate from the masters program at the time and she kept promising to help me push my cv for employment. I came out as the best postgraduate student in my department with the highest FCGPA.

Brethren, do you know what has happening from then till now? Vested Status interest.
Since then till now, my application has been going one step forward two steps backward. She minuted on the first one last December. It got to the faculty, the Dean minuted and sent it out after much pressure from me, minutes later she ordered the application to be returned and that was all I heard about it. But she pushed her son's application and he was employed as well as our Hod's. She pushed her daughter's and her husband's niece, they both got while she kept lamenting that she's confused on how to go about mine, stating she has ran out of idea on how to go about it.

This afternoon, she called to inform me that, the university wants names of all the ad-hoc staff in all the departments for immediate employment as junior staff. She was asking me if I'm interested in the offer since I'm currently a PhD student and the job should be for ssce or fslc holders...

She said if I should accept the offer that it might terminate my chances of getting a teaching job, which I've been applying.

Please, what should I reply her?
Please don't settle for ssce work
Please don't accept that silly offer...
Get job outside that school ....
What a wicked world ,, And she will be abusing Buhari

This type of mindset is why some people will never succeed. Of course, one have to start somewhere, but the wisdom lies in knowing when to stay and when to move.
Nothing good will ever come from the OP's boss, I've been there before, the best he could do was to leave that environment entirely and start looking elsewhere.

I think at this stage she has no progressive plans for you

Just finish your PhD and sort your self out and look else where

Meanwhile don't accept that offer, it's a ploy to reduce the spead of your progress from her once you take that job it will affect your CV

Leave her to her conscience

Such a person has no genuine intention of helping you. I would suggest you cast your net elsewhere or outside of her.

You are very correct.
No genuine intention, just like the Association of Past/Present Criminals, APC and their Barawo Bubu who promised us 3 million jobs annually in 2015.
That would have been 15 million jobs.
Has anyone seen up to 1 million jobs since 2015? Instead they are making plenty noise for N20,000 empowerment street sweeper work for three months.
How do we get rid of Barawo Bubu and APC

Since you've started your PhD I'll advice you look beyond that institution and prayerfully reach out to other places.

Also, networking for Job this days is 'multilinear': you don't just sleep on one source. Seek God and reach out to more people.

I see you becoming a Prof. soon in Jesus name.

I'm force to comment on this issue because I'm not the type that usually comment on every post. One thing I can say is that you put your eggs in one basket, I can't believe that you are in the system where recruitment are been carried out but you however failed to secure such. It is a pity that you missed this glorious opportunity because I have seen someone going through this same path but the difference is that he was flexible and spread his net beyond people he trusted..... The HOD that promised to help him due to his relationship to the DVC (administration) failed him to the extend that he did not even knew that they have compiled the names already.... But he got the job through the secretary that typed the list due to the fact that throughout the recruitment he was telling everybody that care to listen to him that he applied and needs their help...... He makes friend with everyone of them even till date self......

Trust nobody they said' but you rely and trusted her, she did not do you any wrong because the people that she helped were her family after all you are been paid it is you that failed yourself and not her....

My advice is that for you to take the available job to remained in the system, their is what they called CONVERSION, but I advice you to make more contacts/connection when working so that when such opportunity present itself you will just grab it. No much work for federal workers so you still have more opportunity to look for other jobs elsewhere...... My humble opinion though.... Remember that your salary will be higher than your previous 20k per month...........

If someone can convert from non academic to academic, from security to administrative at least I witnessed this when I was schooling.. So it is possible... Remember this is Nigeria, if you don't take this offer, you might still be looking for job in the next 5 years but if you take it, their my be 1-2 conversion in the space of five years which you are such of if you press your bottom very well...... I rest my case ..... Good luck

The Hod is not wicked if you look at it. Imagine she has children that are looking for jobs, her sister or brother's kids need jobs, her pastor's kids, her best friend's kids etc. She will naturally feel the need to help this people you except there is a divine intervention to move you up her list.

You will get something better very soon. That is the pressure most Senators, DGs, governors and those people face regularly.

Please don't perceive them to be wicked and just see it as a way to continue praying for favor from God.

Always focus on your long term objective. Your PHd should provide you with a wider window of opportunities. I hope you are involved in a STEM programme.
