Why do people act naive? Our cynicism as Nigerians is a bottleneck to progress.
Have you guys considered the cost of logistics involved to setup such a big event which holds at 3 different choice venues?
Have you considered crowd control? Imagine the stampede that it will turn out to be if there's no measure to admit only serious job seekers? I'm sure the participating companies will lock up their booths and leave from the rush.
Have you also noticed that these people do not ask everyone to pay because they screen those that they invite? I have a couple of friends who didn't meet their criteria.
We should learn to embrace ingenuity and support what has potentials of improving our lives.

Abeg spare me the crap, its the participating firms that should pay for the fair. Worst case the job seekers should only pay a token (in the form of gate fees), that's how I know fairs are organized, not this way.

It would be nice for the mods to put this thread on the frontpage as soon as possible to either save people from getting schemed or to throw more light on it.

This is what I wrote in another thread opened by [b][/b]folasflo today:


How come there are no massive adverts on the Radio and TV like you claimed on you site? And the only social media compaign that you have done is to be on Facebook. You can't even afford to pay a frontpage advert on Nairaland?SMH.

My point is simple, if this is not a scam, then let's see efforts that are more believable.
And the fact that an applicant has to pay to participate in your fair makes it look even more questionable. Why can't the payment be after the fair, when an employer has shown interest?
What lies in stock for them after the fair if they're not chosen? A refund or what?
And pls, show me that employer who so needs your fair to get what he wants especially when some of the companies you claim are your media partners/exhibitors/sponsors have recruitment agencies that handle what your fair is offering them.

I just feel that people shouldn't take advantage of other people's situation to exploit them.

They should know how Nigeria is with paying ahead for services not yet rendered. they'll have considered payment upon arrival..
Re: Is The National Recruitment Fair 2013 A Scam? by MarcoP: 10:14am On Mar 07, 2013
This is a scam.

No job seeker should pay a dime to attend a job fair. There's even no guarantee that attendees would get jobs at the fair because such jobs don't exist.

Exhibitors should foot the bill, if at all such event is necessary.

There's too much scam targetted at innocent unemployed youths in this country. Each desperate man/woman is devising how to exploit people.

An employment agency in lagos is presently asking unemployed engineeers to pay N1 million each for a 6 months training by Siemens, after which they will be guaranteed of job positions.
Can you imagine that? Yet we complain of corruption in government.

May God help Nigeria.

Re: Is The National Recruitment Fair 2013 A Scam? by nenergy(m): 10:16am On Mar 07, 2013
..............besides recruitmrnts fairs do not guarantee employement, so a moderate gate fee(paid upon arrival) would have made much more sense..

I got the same email too. Those attending the fair in lagos, the deadline for registration was yeterday, while the summit it on the 12th of march. Mine is abuja and the deadline is 17th. I will wait for the feedback from those in Lagos, before I proceed.
But to be frank, am skeptical about it. There website is so scanty, but no harm trying.
