A distraught job seeker has shared his experienced in the Nigeria Police Force recruitment exercise carried out in 2016. Read his story below. Please note that this is the experience and opinion of the user who narrated the story:

We want the whole world to hear our story Nepotism, impunity and corruption is the order of the day in this country called Nigeria. On the 13th day of December, 2016 the Police Service commission published our names on their website, the list was tagged "Successful Candidates at the recently concluded 2016 Recruitment Exercise", and subsequently our names were published in three National dailies namely, the Leadership newspaper on the 24th December 2016, The sun and Tribune newspaper respectively. Alas majority of us thought we are finally getting it in this country, that the son of a common man can get a federal job without knowing someone who knows someone, we never knew these corrupt, pot belled, devilish individuals have another plan in their kitties. We were told to resume to the various camps across the Federation on the 31st of December 2016 according to d publications. On getting to the camp Specialists billed for interview and the reserved were told to go home, and await further instructions as regards the next line of action. After waiting for nearly two months, on Monday 27 February , 2017, arrangements were made by some concerned individuals to visit the Police Service Commission for clarifications as to why we are yet to be called for the interview, and why the reserved have not been called to join our colleagues who are already training In the various camps across the nation . What we learnt from the PSC was rather shocking a certain Special Adviser in the commission opined that ,we have been replaced and that the recruitment is over, just like that, while coincidentally in that same minute some cadet ASPs were being allowed in at the Police Staff College jos, the training centre for prospective cadets Asps on the same day, a total of 261 names were on that list ,the fact finding mission further revealed that some of the cadets on the special supplementary list did not even apply for the job initially and yet, they were asked to resume, at the expense of the reserved and those billed for interview. It's a pity such thing could happen in this county after they had gone public with our names, this is an absolute embarrassment ,some resigned from their jobs , some had accident during the course of this recruitment. After all the stress, money spent on transportation and risks associated with travelling on our roads , some folks who didn't make the cut initially are resuming camp at the moment right in our faces . This county is such a joke, some group of people believe they can go public with our names and still shortchange us for their personal gain, and they think they will get away with it. They claim the recruitment is over, yet their cohorts are currently resuming the various camps at the moment. These people with long legs so to speak will pass out and continue the same trend in the Nigerian Police and we want Nigeria to be better. until the day son of a Peasant gets what's due to him on merit this country can never be better. They should know , this is not business as usual, our voices must be heard.
Who else is in his shoes?
