Authority Robbing: The new 419 in the Nigerian unemployment market

A few months ago when Ohakim the governor of Imo state launched a landmark project aimed at recruiting ten thousand unemployed (10,000) graduate of Imo state origin I heaved a sign of relief that finally someone was trying to deal with the real problems facing the Nigerian economy. Even though the project involved the buying of scratch cards I reckoned the good that would come out of it was bound to be greater than the evil. Alas! I spoke too soon, because after everything according to reports, Ohakim employed less than ten (10) individuals, while raking in millions from the funds generated from the venture. Only time will tell whether he was a wise man or a fool who sacrificed his political future on the alter of stupidity. But in the true Nigerian spirit once you can show success in anything everybody immediately jump in to share in the bounty. A wise governor of Imo state origin already showed the way now it is the turn of the federal government. The National food and Drug law enforcement (NAFDAC) led the way. In a recent advert for available post in there organization (NAFDAC) you are directed to go to there website to fill out there online form. On getting there you are asked for a code which can only be obtained from a bank at the cost of N1500. Now the funny thing is they have less than six (6) vacancies to fill and they expect the army of Nigerian unemployed to each pay N1500 to them for the opportunity of submitting a CV. My question is whether they are on a fund generating venture or do they actually have a job. If you do the maths a minimum of Ten (10) thousand people will apply that is N1.5 million NAFDAC does not deserve coming to them. A story of the rich stealing from the poor, the painful part is that very soon the private sector would emulate them and then only God can indeed help the unemployed.
