Mine was a very funny experience, a very dramatic one indeed... I saw the extreme desperation of Nigerian graduates... i mean B.sc holders and professionals.

To be candid, we were up to Six thousand that filled the compound of Govt, Day sec sch Gwawalada, as early as Six-fifteen PM. A crowd that was three time the size during my NYSC orientation, I have only seen some thing close to this when i went for LNG interview sometimes last year.

This provoked a lot questions that i found difficult to answer. Where are a heading to in this country? This number revealed the gravity of the problem of unemployment. The number was only for the FCT, without including other 36 states in the federation. I learnt from a reliable source that the vacancies that existed was only 2500 through out the country.

The hold exercise was a flop. The officials could not control the crowd. The jogging to determine fitness saw candidates riding on Bikes (Okada) to meet up with the limited time.

As if that was not enough, the whole test was not co-ordinated; some candidates who could not get sits in the few available class-rooms had to take theirs outside. It was like a market Square. May Go Help us in Naija. AMEN

IT WAS ALMOST THE SAME IN IMMIGRATION HERE IN PORT HARCOURT

no be small thing oh!it wasn't easy we had casualties here and we were about 799 but after the checking of height and running we were only abt 300 that wrote the exams.

god will help us 4 dis country

In my younger brodas case,he didnt even gain acess,he said he's is beta than those that went n d gates in Asaba bt were screened out as a result of one credential, age and what ve u...the crowd alone is smtin 2 worry the leaders of this country, the level of unemployment is alarming all in the bid to put on a lousy uniform...bt d bar sha na correct paddy

That faithful morning, d El-rufai bus i entered went through kuje for gwagwalada and as at when we got to kuje where the prisons are doing theirs d road was already blocked (7am) and we were ment to reverse and follow airport giri road, with what i saw at kuje i had concluded that immigration would have finished before we get there, but to my greatest surprise even though a junior officer tried to stop us, we still went in and as at 10am we were still on queue. it shows that prisons are more organised.

Immediately we finished d so-called 3.2km i was panting and grasping for breath in one of the classrooms when i saw people moving towards some of the officers but before i got there a superior officer had calm d situation. They had said that some persons were given a different colour of tally which means they were the people that started and completed d race genuinely. That is to tell u that their .......... has started even before writing d test

Guys, the tales are cool and very disappointing to say the least. It's only God that will deliver us in this country. For those who went and didn't succeed, keep on trying. God dey!

in calabar people died and this job self na dull khaki we wan wear self. nna come see men de run pass obudu mountain race and drop butty run pass men self.though the calabar center was coordinated, see how common warders were ordering graduates around cos they know that u are coming in to be higher than them. all the same i commend the ministry of interior for thinking about those who can't access the back door in nigeria

In my own case- no b small tin walihi. I had 2 sleep in town 2 meet d 7am deadline.but as nature would av it ,man no b fire wood.D guys i slept with,if i would say were once part of BEERFEST.cos we had 2 drink n Smoke not wtstandg d exam som had d nxt.When i even tot it ws ova ie abt 1am one of dem said lets go out as in clubbin.wetin man go do now-i had no choice than 2 hop in d ride.then headed 4 IBIZA;a popular joint in d FCT.we were there til lyk 5.30am.Can u Imagin?
