FG Pleads With Job Seekers To Apply For Fresh Immigration Exercise

Federal Govt Pleads With Job Seekers To Apply For Fresh Immigration Service Recruitment 2015





Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) - The Federal Government has set up a committee to oversee the ongoing recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Immigration Service.



The last recruitment by the NIS in March 2014 ended in chaos across the country with many young Nigerian jobseekers losing their lives in stampede at the recruitment centres.



The government, which assured that the ongoing recruitment exercise would be credible and based on merit, pleaded with graduates seeking employment not to disparage the exercise.



The Comptroller-General of NIS, Mr. David Paradang, said this in Abuja during a visit to him by the Africa Youth Patriotic and Development Mission, led by its Executive Director, Mr Adefila Kamal.



Paradang said, "Nigerian graduates interested in the NIS job should take advantage of the new recruitment exercise because the NIS would ensure that the new recruitment is fair and credible.



"Nigerian youths are needed to patrol the country's borders and hence the need to recruit capable hands into the service. Nigerian graduates should have faith in the ongoing recruitment into the NIS; a committee has been set up to oversee the exercise for credibility sake."



The CG said applications would be treated without fear or favour, saying all qualified Nigerian graduates who are interested in working with the NIS should apply.



He described the 2014 NIS recruitment fiasco as unfortunate but that the new exercise would be pleasing to all Nigerians as well as reflect federal character.



"Nigerians should help the immigration service with information, our borders are too wide, and we need the corporation of all Nigerians to effectively police the border," he stated.

Five Things We Must Stop Doing As Nigerians

1.Breaking Traffic Laws: You know you are breaking the law by driving in the opposite direction of traffic but you feel it will get you to your destination faster and you go ahead with your plan. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn’t and you end up causing a traffic jam and wasting the time of other road users.



It is annoying when as Nigerians we scream for change but we are not willing to start with ourselves. You see silly drivers breaking traffic laws and still claim that they are right. It’s a pity there’s no true test of driving skills in Nigeria or else a lot of drivers would have had their licences seized.



2. Erecting Large Signposts at Junctions and Bends: I think there’s a shortage of sensible people at the agencies that grant permits for signposts because I see no reason why a signpost should be erected in such a way that it prevents drivers from seeing vehicles coming at a bend or junction. Sometimes you even have multiple signposts at a place with each one trying to overshadow the other. Don’t we learn anything from “Oyinbo” movies? Can’t you see that their signposts are usually tall and on a single pole when placed at a junction or bend?



3. Refusing to construct proper sewage system for your house: This one is very annoying. People will build houses and not make arrangement for drainage. All they do is make a small channel that takes all bodily fluids and “yamayama” water to the main road filling the whole neighbourhood with stench. Some people are even worse, they throw their wash water on the main road even though there’s a gutter in front of the house. And when you call their attention to the damage they are causing, they see you as an enemy. I think all CDAs should make it a law that landlords must make provision for proper sewage disposal. Whoever fails to do so should be fined and of he/she refuses, they should report to the appropriate authorities.



Apart from the fact that it is an unhygienic act that can lead to outbreak of diseases and infections, it also damages the roads. Some roads are always wet even though it hasn’t rained in months. We complain that the government doesn’t build good roads but when they do we fail to maintain them.



4. Throwing litter anywhere we deem fit: majority of Nigerians are bad at disposal. We throw away our trash anywhere we think is right: on the road, in the drainage, schools, even mosques and churches aren’t left out. This is a very bad attitude we need to stop.

I know the waste disposal system is very poor in Nigeria as most of the masses live in areas that are “inaccessible” to waste trucks. But we can still strive to keep our environment clean. It costs you nothing to put that sweet or biscuit wrapper in your pocket or in a corner of your bag till you get to a place where there is a bin. It might seem like a little thing to do but I believe when the little ones see you doing so they’ll emulate it.



5. Selling on the road/Pedestrians route: This one is terribly annoying. I will divide this into 2 groups. One, those who setup their wares/goods on the road leaving the pedestrian walkway behind them and those who extend their shops and block the road meant for pedestrians.

These two sets of people endanger their lives and that of pedestrians. Imagine you are trying to dodge a motorcycle that is headed your way and instead of climbing on to the pavement meant for pedestrians you bump right into the fish seller who has set up her stall on the pavement. Unfortunately for you, your head is placed directly in front of her as she brings down the cleaver to cut the fish….. I hope you get the picture.

The pedestrian route is meant for walking not for selling. If you know someone who does this, please correct them. I know they are trying to survive in this harsh economy but two wrongs don’t make a right.





These are the 5 annoying things Nigerians do. I actually have more but these 5 are top on the list.


A Nairalander Who Nearly Died In Accident Appeals To Dragnet

I humbly wish to appeal to dragnet and co to decentralise their test locations. I almost lost my life while travelling down to write Nigerian Stock Exchange exam organised by dragnet.



I know I am speaking the minds of so many cos I have seen people share testimonies of how they survived one accident or the other after making that last min decision to go write their exams in lagos.

I Understand these tests are administered in those central location for security reason but that should not be at the detriment of we the job seekers. If a job specifies the location as nationwide, dragnet owes it to their client to bring this test down to every state.



Dragnet has not bothered to check why a candidate accepted a job test but wasnt seen on ground that day. Now I didn't write the test, test that is not even guaranteed that I would pass. But am now in pains with a huge hospital bill to attend to, on top my joblessness o.



Am still thanking God my life is intact but I hope dragnet and other recruitment agencies change their strategies. Everyone can't be in lagos.

Read About The New Way Robbers Now Operate In Lagos

This morning my relative just got robbed in her shop sad but not at gun point.. The thieves came to buy goods worth of 100K.



When she was giving them the goods, they seemed to be in a rush, one wouldn't suspect...so they calculated the worth of the goods to be about 100K.. The thieves paid and left, but before they left my mum showed the money to her neighbor and her neighbor confirmed that the money was ok..



The very moment they left, the money seemed to start transforming... Then all the money became fake before her relatives very eye..sad so she raised an alarm! Because the money she saw before was original..



Only 2K out of the 100K is original.. See duping..this is not going..



*modified* the 98K fake money has reduced to 86K undecided

See proof:
