‘1.4 million Nigerians’ applied for 5,000 Civil Defence jobs

Over 1.4 million Nigerians scrambled for 5,000 job openings advertised by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps , marking yet another testament to Nigeria’s acute unemployment.

As part of the requirement for the job that pays above the N30,000 national minimum wage, thousands of shortlisted applicants would take questions similar to those set for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions in the country. While the hurried elimination of 5,000 potential employees unsettled a large number of applicants, the main battle could still lay ahead in the scramble for the remaining 5,000 openings, according to another official source.

While many would be winnowed out by a set of rules that would render their applications invalid, a high number would still make it through the final stages, and those “with connections” may ultimately benefit, an official said.

And fed govt has lifted millions of Nigeria out of poverty .All the millions are from daura village.

IamtheOGee Wahala dey o!

Toh God have mercy

BMC- 'they must be the corrupt PDP ppll who lost their jobs. No more free money'. Bubu has winned😎

It will go to the highest bidder

What does that tell you?

And you are proudly reporting the news

Job that has been shared before the recruitment begins

This is a full blown unemployment crisis in Nigeria! If this govt are wise, they would just resign and call for a new election! This millions of unemployed Nigerians, will one day turn on them and eat them raw! That time is coming soon!

2500 out of 5000 will already be allocated to eminent Nigerians... This is Nigeria...

We are still comfy in this country, until the day we are all hungry then we would wake up.

Job in Dubai.,..... Immediate employment. 2 years work permit...... Send DM

Speaks volume of the joblessness in the country and the youths who ought to protest are busy supporting the man who called them lazy.

Good luck to em

We have created job for the unemployed.

Civil defense wen dem nor like o. 😁

They are just after ur application form money thats all

Now ... That's a joke . Just stop

Simple show we are not lazy, and are ready to work. If work dey!

When is it coming out self

And they want to reduce it to 3k? Ife neme

Sad. Obviously these 1.4 million Nigerians just want a job. Not that they really want the civil defence jobs. We will end hiring people who do not love their jobs.

The country hard

Sad reality and later the govt will come and say they have created jobs

It's a normal something Fact: only 2,000 will get the job The other 3,000 have been employed already

Come to think if it, the people at the top have theirbslot in the 5000 and it still boils down to the point that the common man can't get the job.

What else do you call Nigeria again?

Imagine! A whole 1.4 million people 😪

Some of them are already gainful employed

1 .4 Million!!!!?

This doesn't mean the 1.4million applicants are currently jobless.Some of them have jobs already.

Not that we love the job , we don't just have a job .

There is high unemployment in the land

Wahala dey oh

Medd o

Yes because everywhere you go it's same story.. No Vacancy hun, even despite the 1.4m, how many have they given the job to

Nigeria is a horrible Nation

Codedtosin Oluwa o😭

This is one of the issues AMOTEKUN is established to solve.

‘1.4 million Nigerians’ applied for 5,000 Civil Defence ADVERTIZED jobs. The owners of those jobs do not apply for it. They're given by slots. Hope we remember remi tinubu reminding the senate president not to forget their slots. When will ppl realize govt job is a scam?

They should join AMOTEKUN on time!

AbdulHerphyz Buhari government is not creating jobs

May the most connected person win 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol! Chai. Work no dey town. Men don raster for streets finish. And the North will get 90% of the slot.

The more reason why the youths should come together and plan for their own future. It is clear that the politicians don't have you in their agenda. The situation is getting worse and they are going about their normal business. Ndigbo ibem,ka anyi kpakota wee chua ewu oji n'ehihie

tajudine2013 Legacy of our Failed 2004 Nat Pop Control Policy launched by Obasanjo when pop was 134+M.Policy intended a 3% annual growth reduction rate. By 2016 Pop grew to 154+M:Pop Control Policy failed within its first 2yrs & has ballooned to estimated 200M & Remains National Challenge..

That's how bad it is

Even those who are gainfully employed because they think as a civil defense official you can oppress with your uniform. Send them to Maiduguri to fight Boko Haram, they won't show up for muster parade.

This is serious.

What a country... A crazy stat. And our top officials we there squandering our money and wasting the lives of our youths. Lord arise and come to our rescue.

Unemployment is 23% faa

kayteepass The real thing is that all the ogas at the top have candidates. The cows without tails are only wasting their time. But I hope something will happen soon when everyone shall be fed up with this mendacity.

And they're still want to reduce it to 3k, what shit kind of planning ? Hon. Gudaji Kazaure

Are there jobs for the people to apply? Our leaders are busy amassing wealth for them and families rather than creating job opportunities by building industries. I hope this is not my Oga at the top kind of recuruitment? I hope it’s free application or fee applies?

Kaykay_50

Funny country where people applied for govt job but don't get notifications until it's about 8months or thereabouts

I can't wait for this thing to explode.

Time bomb

GbemiDennis After the nnpc June 1st suffering, if I don't know the president, I will never apply for federal Government job. I will rather sell power bank. I suffered that day. Awon werey

Lol. As usual. Come to think of it the 5000 slot might have been allocated to senior citizens.

This is really sad. The sad thing is, half of the spots have been given out as slots to our polithieves.

Seriously

😔

are you for real

Dangerous trend

Average of 280 applicants per position. Scary!💔💣

Is that the reason why they withheld the list, even that number is not enough for the cabal to share within themselves.

Tell them the screening is going to hold in sambisa forest the number will reduce to 4,000.
