I graduated since 2012 and have been searching for job since then. Though I stopped the search and I am gathering money from a small laundry business I am running to see if I could raise enough money to register to be a bet agent and start a bet shop this new football season, together with MMM hustle. On thursday last week precisely, I ran into an old course mate of mine who is now a customs officer, he was even on his uniform.

He gave me detailed gist about an Hausa man who happens to be a top customs officer, he met three years ago in his business center, helped him got the job. We exchanged contact and he promised to contact the man to see if he could assist me to get one of the replacement slots.

The issue now is that he introduced me to the man as promised and I got to contact the man and he gave me his official email account and instructed I send my CV and photocopies of my credentials to him via email, which I did.

I contacted my friend and he told me I shouldn't worry, that he will loan me the N50,000 to pay him, but I should hustle the remind balance to pay him immediately I land the job.

My friend has sent the N50,000 into my account today to my greatest surprise, but I don't know where to get the balance N450,000 b4 the end of september and I don't want to go back to my friend that just assisted me with N50,000.

Take the 50k,pay the Hausa man ,after all the 50k isn't yours,get the job and make sure you verify everything once you get the job. You have nothing to lose since it is the person that introduced you who is loaning you the money.
When you get the job,you will renegotiate the repayment.

Hmm, OP just be careful, for all we know your course mate could be running a scheme with the man.

It is quite sad though that for 4 years one can still be job-hunting, really a tough one. To be honest, if I were you, I would rather put that cash into the startup business ideas.

Your friend borrowed you the 50K... You're to pay 450K when the appointment is CONFIRMED. I think you're a bit safe. 50K isn't too much to take a risk on... But be careful, vigilant and watchful about the CONFIRMATION of the job and your 450K. Make sure you very and confirm the so called CONFIRMATION.

It sounds very good since the hausa man gave you his official email to send your documents.

I will advise you to give it a try, since your friend has already given you 50k to pay the initial deposit.

Pay the man the 50k to book the slot but beg him to allow you to pay the 450k balance in instalments as soon as you resume and begin to receive salary.
You can beg him to allow you pay him 50k monthly until you complete the payment.

Guy look very well before you leap! That your seemingly good friend you saw last in 2012 could be a totally changed person.
That he was quick to send you #50,000 doesn't mean the deal is void of fraud. It might be a calculated attempt to fast track your quick response as to paying them the balance without you suspecting any foul play. I advise you tread cautiously so as not to be caught by their evil trap. I have heard several cases like this and the end has not always been palatable for the victims.

A guy who offers you a job on condition that you pay him a huge amount of money is a corrupt criminal who is taking advantage of your desperation. If you pay that money to him, you are an enabler of the crime, and this kind of system never ends well.

Supposing you get the job, you will probably then have to borrow a lot of money to pay this corrupt fellow. You will be 500,000 Naira short, and then might be forced to start engaging in corrupt activities at customs in order to settle your debt; because when you start as a junior cadre staff, there is no way you'll legally make that kind of money anytime soon. You may even lose your job and end up in jail if you crossed the wrong person...especially nowadays that people have easy access to cameras and other electronic media that can help expose corruption. I think I have counted around 10 police(wo)men who have lost their jobs in the last year alone, because somebody recorded them trying to extort civilians.

Also, such appointments are always in danger of being revoked. Supposing a new person is posted to head your department, and they find the circumstances under which you were employed objectionable, they may revoke that appointment, then you'll be in big debt and jobless. Basically, a lot of things can go wrong when you corruptly acquire employment.

OP, from your story, you've already set out on the path of an entrepreneur. I understand things are hard, but I like to think you're managing and surviving. My candid advise is that you continue on the difficult but honest path you've started as there is no shortcut to success. You just need determination and persistence, and eventually there will be a breakthrough. Very few successful business people started out on an easy path. I appeal to you to return your friend's money and thank him. Next, avoid like a plague, this insensitive, wicked, greedy, manipulative leech of a man who is only interested in your money, not your success.

Please OP, don't go that dark path. It may seem as attractive as chocolate, but with the right decorations, shit can also look like chocolate. A word is enough for the wise, but I've given you many because I hate to leave things to chances, but I hope you're wise!

Report both of them to the authorities. Don't pay for jobs, it is illegal. Contribute your quota to bringing and end to cash for jobs. That way you and your children will have a better chance of landing government jobs.
