@Poster SAMMIE
Kindly tell us the source of this advert ...
Is it tuesday Guardian

Hello Fellas,pls don't let the issue of that message to bother you so much.
A very reliable friend has taken the form on Nigerian Army short service,he is the one that told me about it...as stated on my post Applicants are required to purchase PIN CODE at the sum of N2,500.00 only at any SPRING BANK PLC branch or all other banks nationwide.Please, take your time to find out about the procedure in the bank if you are not satisfy or convence with my post.Also,the phone numbers there is just to guard you which has already be stated.
Finally, if you are intresred just go to spring bank and confirm the information for your own interest.

Stay Bless.

Sammie,

I hope you are not offended by this, but your reply did not come close to answering CareersNG_Admin's question about the legitimacy of your website link http://www.nigerianarmyms.net.

I believe it is important for interested applicant to verify that the so called PIN purchase of N2,500.00 actually goes to the Nigerian Army and counts towards his/her application. Spring bank (and other financial institutions) is not obliged to divulge the details of their clients to the public - in this case the beneficiary of the N2,500.00 and neither is Spring Bank required to have the knowledge of the recruitment of the Nigeria Military - SPRING BANK IS NOT PROVIDING SUCH IN WRITING. For this reason, any verbal information from Spring Bank Teller/Cashier is not binding - therefore it is BS

Moreover, none of the phone numbers listed in your advert is published publicly as contact numbers for the Nigerian Army. It is good that you find your friend reliable, but unless his information can be independently verified you may not describe the information from him in a public domain as reliable.

Finally, http://www.nigerian-army.org does not contain any information on this advert. All the postings of this advert on the Internet have been from unsolicited sources. There has been a few of them online: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ni ... tnG=Search

I’M SORRY SAMMIE, THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS STILL YOURS

I would advise Interested Applicants to contact Nigerian Army by visiting any of their offices or by looking-up their phone number(s) from the public phone book.

Thank You

Thank OIO,
Either the post is real or not its highly questionable.
SAMMIE its still your call. We would appreciate you respond to all the issues raised clearly. This would go a long way in the future...in helping people that wants to apply for jobs, and other employees that wants to post jobs.

Thank You.

Hi,

Sammy thanks for putting up this thread, I think I can boldly say that the link( http://www.nigerianarmyms.net. ) and application is legit, though the deadline for application is over. you can see the link on the bottom of the Nigerian Army website; http://www.nigerian-army.org/ contrary to what OIO says.
thanks

at the bottom of the NigerianArmy website the link says; THE NIGERIAN ARMY SSC/DSSC REGISTRATION PORTAL

Did you check the link OIO?

Let me comment, I think this is not a forum to squash people based only on suspicion! So not even the site admin checked up as should be done before installing a ban on the advert!

What does this tell of our future, Oh Nigerians?

In fact, I checked the site and saw the link that has been castigated by so many even those who used wikipedia to check for info on Nija, U disappointed me!

(Nija is not US or any western country!! where reliable public info is on the internet, stop helping to rubbish your forum!!!!)

I AM REALLY ASHAMED OF YOU!

CAVEAT
Sincerely, some people deserve to publicly apologise and reposition this post as it ought to be.

Dear banji & qute_bloke,

I appreciate your follow-up on my comment regarding the Nigeria Army job posting.

I am sorry to say that you have not provided any credible evidence of the legitimacy of the website you claim belongs to Nigeria Army. Regarding the point that you made, "...you can see the link on the bottom of the Nigerian Army website; http://www.nigerian-army.org/... I do apologize for stating that the job posting is not available on http://www.nigerian-army.org - I have no evidence to back the claim that http://www.nigerian-army.org or any link on it is legitimate.

Here is some information on the ownership of the two websites:

I observe that none of the website is registered to Nigerian Army

For fairness sake the websites and job postings might be legitimate; however there is a reasonable doubt to it. I am therefore not prepared to concede this point or apologize.

NB: Unless there is any new and credible information on this topic, I do not intend to further comment on this topic.

Thank you.

Simple solution to this, did anyone go to Army headquarters and asked and confirmed that there is no such thing from the Nigerian Army? We are acting and replying like pple who are not Nigerians or who do not know what can happen even in Nigeria. If you are using all these standards to judge US army, I will say okay but not Nigeria. How many public things do you say are not in this fashion in Nija?

Am not saying that the advert is by any means true but we need to be of high standing. Dont just publish STOP orders like that!

Yea i feel you guys....
The problem is that the .ng domain is a big
Normally anything Nigerian government should be under .gov.ng
With that you know its legitimate..but all this .net .etc...is really confusing!
And knowing what our saad Nigerian Internet brand is for now which is SCAM! I dont blame anybody who raise a SCAM alert especially for a post that really looks like one.
You need to know many people that has been duped by 419 guys all in the name of job hunting. Its good that we use our IT knowledge to assist naivety's on the internet..so that they would not be duped

Regards

Well, inasmuch as the forum is meant to inform, I am sure none of us wants to be misinformed. It is the duty of the admin to ensure this does not happen, and I think the admin was trying to do just that. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It simple - if you are desperate to join the army, double-check and verify the source of the info, this applies to all vacancies announced on here.

I guess many here are oblivious to the fact that a couple of months ago, the admin of a popular nigerian forum was arrested by EFCC due to suspicious posts that appeared on his site. I am sure we dont ant our dear admin to suffer the same fate.


That a link now appears on the page doesnt change anything. Why? I am sure a lot of folks were ignorant a few weeks back when some "hackers" literally took over the CSCS website and displayed whatever they wanted to on the site. Incase you dont know, CSCS is the custodian of the Nigerian Stock Exchange Electronic depositary and trasaction database. A number of nigerian sites have been hijacked lately and nobody can rule out such a happeneing to any site nowadays.

By the way, nobody is really sure about the Nigerian Army website. Have you seen the website of any country's armed forces that had a "login" button on the home page?

Not to escalate the matter, I would just advise folks to alays double check info (even those from the Admin sef). SAMMIE, I am sure you can speak for your self and dont need anybody demanding an apology on your behalf. Admin, I am sure you can speak for yourself too, but I would advise we let this pass.


Lets dissipate energy constructively, we gat work to do.

Kip on rockin!
