oluxmondd2: How can you say this? Is it only ministries that are using CONPSS? Any agency using CONPSS would find themselves in this salary scale. And no, agencies that pay below 250k are far more than the ones that pay above. Even paramilitary entry level is less than 250k Well, I can't provide full evidence but I know so many agencies reviewed salaries between 2022 and now. |

Brightlight123: As seen on twitter... I laugh when people say slots have been shared to Senators and Governors children. This is an obsolete take. The children of Senators and Governors aren't jostling for 500k or 700k jobs. Most of these children aren't even in Nigeria. You can hardly see the children of these top politicians jostling for FG jobs. Some of them are positioning for either political positions, striving well in the abroad, doing excellently well in businesses or just doing nothing enjoying their father's loots. |

Mustaphasaheed: That's the amount NOA pay for level 9 they are under conpss I have a friend that work there in Ilorin Federal secretariat. People resume there almost everyday. I work with one of the basin in Nigeria I earn that amount as a level 9 officer Engr. I don't think any Federal Agency pays this low again. Only Ministries pay this low and I stand to be corrected. Most agencies pay 250k and above with some of them about to be reviewed |

DeOTR: Emphasis on "not that bad if you have connections". As I'm typing this, somewhere in the same Niger state, some people would be getting NGO jobs paying in hundreds of Nigeria for doing something as basic as administrative duties. Opportunities open everywhere everyday in this country, but you'll only know about the useless ones or the ones they can't find someone close qualified to fill it. I agree. I worked with an NGO in Minna that was paying heavily. That NGO is still the biggest NGO in Niger State. What I'm saying in essence is that you don't just travel to a place like Niger to look for greener pastures. The only reason why you should go there is because you have gotten something taking you there. |

Alsenora: The way they were released simply defy what those politicizing the issue expected. It is obvious the main aim of the govt/military is to ensure no casualty....besides it is not every details of the release that the military owe the public but a well thinking unbiased mind can read between the line....the end justifies the means.....the narrative those with contrary views wanted would warrant direct confrotation with the terrorist while the kidnapped are in their custody. I think you have the most balanced take on this matter. I respect what you just wrote here. I understand the lives of the victims mattered and direct confrontation could have resulted into more casualties. Agreed! All we are asking for is transparency from the government's end |

Sonnobax15:
 I remember back then in 2016, when i Ieft Delta for Niger state in search of Greener pastures. When I was leaving,I could remember my father warning me of the dangerous trip I was embarking on. Even my girlfriend then also warned me but my elder sister who was inviting me over kept pestering me to come over,that there were numerous job opportunities. . Omoh,na so I jump enter BIGJOE bus one early morning enter suleja that evening . The following day,when my mind was already settled down,I asked my sister what kind of job offer did she have for me, only for the werey to open her mouth and say that it was one of these adverts she saw . At that moment,I felt cold , running allover my body and I knew I must had equally lost my erection too ,cuz all my ginger and morale was killed immediately . I knew my father would roast me if I should call him and tell him about everything.
Las las,na furniture workshop,in the midst of abokis I take find myself .
Since then, whenever I come across these kind of adverts,I dey always dey imagine my sister face for inside and it always increase my anger issues 😡.
6 months of my life wasted for nothing. Las las,it was still my father who sent me transport for me to come back to ughelli. Niger State and greener pasture in the same sentence? 😭😅😅 |

Putinofrussia: Trump too promised the same just like all govts of the world but under Gun Violence....another name for terrorism in USA....up to 40,000 Americans are killed every month not year...and It has been happening for more than 200 years. I agree with you but you see, when a government is making deliberate efforts you'll know. In 2013, in the peak of insurgency in the north east, Goodluck Jonathan hired mercenaries from SA, they enjoyed some temporary victory, we can say insurgency didn't end but at least we saw the efforts made by the then Government. The useless Buhari came and told the mercenaries to pack up and leave. What efforts did he make to end the insurgency? We can't pinpoint Please tell me just one significant or concrete effort BAT has also made regarding ending insurgency and kidnapping today? |

Putinofrussia: Yes,it spread to the SW because the enablers wanted to show Tinubu and his people something. And this will also translate to their end. God always triumphs. You can't be finding excuses for your leaders. Tinubu promised a secured and fortified country before becoming president. It's his duty to end insurgency and keep to his promise. Nobody really cares about any enablers. We just want to see results and live peacefully in this country. Buhari failed in this regards so we expected more from BAT but it's getting worse. Do you know the number of Generals and senior military officers that have died in this year alone has never been recorded in the last 15 years. |

Lekan239: its so pathetic that you arr so psychologically biased that u dont even realize u have started to automatically dismiss good news while eagerly accepting and even celebrating bad news about govt and even ur country Nigeria. The funny thing is you might not even realise you are doing it. So pathetic.
You may even genuinely belive u are just being objective despite that u consistently
1) assume good news is fake, exaggerated, or has a hidden motives 2) you downplay or criticise genuine achievements 3) you immediately believes and share bad news 4) you feel validated or even happy when something goes wrong bcus it confirms what you already believe.
Why i said you might not even know you are doing it is that, I know you are not consciously thinking you want bad news, but ur existing beliefs is shaping how you interpret information without you even realising it. Probably bcus of bern biased, deep distrust or because you have deep emotional or political commitment...
So you take a deep breath and ask yourself this questions
1) Do I demand the sane level of evidence for good and bad news? 2) Can I sincerely acknowledge a real success if its coming from someone I dislike? 3) Can I criticise someone I support when they genuinely did something wrong?.
I know all those questions above are definitely No with what I have been reading online. And this might be one of the main reason why you think you still have to use tactics of criticising to convince many people and its not working, bcys many people can see through you guys. Everything you've written here is rubbish sorry to say. Nigeria has never had it this bad since 1999. No one could even think a time will come when terrorism would spread to the South West. Am I unhappy the kidnapees were released?, of course not. I'm happy they were released but let me tell you something, if the root of a problem isn't tackled appropriately you would keep having a resurface of same problems again. The government came out to tell us some of the terrorists were killed and some were arrested but the unfolding news says other wise. What am I saying in essence, this present government has woefully failed and only a nitwit or a delusional person won't accept this. This isn't even about politics or not but if we are being serious and want the progress of this nation, BAT won't smell the seat of leadership come 2027. Not to digress from the matter, did you see the lie Onanuga posted on twitter before deleting when these kidnapees were released. Watch this wicked government use this whole situation to campaign for re-election. PS: if I see anything good about this government, I would spill it out, I don't need to be biased. Oh when Tinubu stopped Optasia from looting Nigerians in the telecom I commended that move so I'm not even biased in my judgement |

Lifestone: Read before commenting, it won't hurt you. The information here aligned very well with Government position and explanation. Let's be glad that they returned safely which government's position? Government that said they killed some of the terrorists and arrested some? Does that sound like it aligned. Let's be factual, ransom was paid and these devils are still out there looking for the next victims to kidnap. You people are very delusional always defending rubbish |

relocationhub: Having 65 points when the minimum requirement is 60 does not automatically mean you should receive an invitation. The 60 points simply make you eligible to enter the SINP pool.
Looking at the screenshot you shared, the more important detail is that your entire score comes from Labour Market Success (65 points), while you have 0 points under Saskatchewan Connection and Adaptability.
That means you currently do not appear to have factors such as:
* Saskatchewan work experience * Saskatchewan study history * Close family in Saskatchewan * Other Saskatchewan adaptability factors
In many immigration programs, candidates with stronger provincial ties can have an advantage over candidates who only qualify through human-capital factors.
Another thing to consider is that SINP invitations are not always based on total points alone. Saskatchewan may conduct targeted draws based on occupation demand, labour shortages, licensing requirements, or other selection criteria. So it is possible for someone with 65 points to remain in the pool while another candidate with a lower score receives an invitation because their occupation or profile better matches the draw criteria.
Since you've been in the pool for 7 months, I think the key questions are:
1. What is your NOC code or occupation? 2. Which SINP stream did you apply under? 3. Is your occupation regulated in Saskatchewan? 4. Do you have any Saskatchewan job offer, work experience, study history, or family connection?
Without that information, nobody can accurately determine why you have not been invited yet.
From the screenshot alone, the biggest clue is not the 65 points. It is the fact that you have 0/30 points under Saskatchewan Connection and Adaptability. Combined with the possibility of occupation-specific selection, that may explain why you are still waiting despite meeting the minimum threshold. Thank you so much. This is quite explicit. So I'm getting to understand meeting the minimum points alone doesn't matter. All factors must be included. I appreciate this again |
