SHAME: NIGERIAN ARMY N1,000 EXTORTION IN THE NAME OF RECRUITMENT

SHAME: NIGERIAN ARMY N1,000 EXTORTION IN THE NAME OF RECRUITMENT The Nigerian army just announced its recruitment for 70th RRI TRADESMEN & WOMEN 2013 and applicants will have to pay N1000 for the form. It is a shame that new recruits have to pay N1,000 for application form into nigerian army. It is a shame that the army is extorting money from people who volunteer to give their lives in the service of this country. In other countries, the army holds recruitment fair, encourage and entice people to join in the service of their fatherland. It is a shame that a recruitment portal that doesn't cost more than N300,000 to develop and deploy is being used to extort millions of naira from jobseekers. It is a shame that the army 'ogas at the top' will embezell the funds budgeted for recruitment and also go ahead to defraud innocent nigerian youth of N1,000. Can anyone tell us what the money budgeted for recruitment is used for? Can someone please multiple N1000 X 10-20 thousands applications and see how much they are ripping off our youths. It is a shame that the army is setting a dangerous precendents, very soon all establishment will start charging money for recruitment and deprive the poor of employment. It is a shame that the government is encouraging this extortion and reaping from the unemployment they created. If the government didn't create this massive unemployment in the country, who will be willing to pay for N1000 for army application? During the 70's when the army 'ogas at the top' were recruited, they were paid to even come for recruitment camps, now they have bastardised the system and moved on to demand N1000 before you buy application form. It is only this country that the armed forces are treated this way. It is a shame that this culture of impunity has been going on for two years now and neither the National Assembly, Public complaint commission or the traditional press and media have ever challenged it. It is a shame that the nigerian youth, students, jobseeker and the general public have left this to go unabated. It will continue to be a shame if after reading this you do nothing. THIS IS THE TIME TO STOP THIS EXTORTION. THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT. TOGETHER WE CAN STOP THIS BY MAKING OUR VOICE TO BE HEARD. PLEASE SHARE THIS IN YOUR WALL, EXPRESS YOUR DISAPPROVAL OF THIS EXTORTION, PASTE THIS ON YOUR STATUS, ALERT THE PRESS, TELL THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS, PUBLIC COMPLAINT COMMISSION ETC. PLEASE ALSO PASTE THIS TO PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S FACEBOOK WALL TILL HE CALLS THE ARMY TO ORDER. TOGETHER WE CAN!!
