They should also replicate it in the Nigerian Army... Our soldiers are too crude

Lol.. hehehe.
Wahala for them be that o

Line 1 reads:
In a bid to ensure credibility and transparency blablabla


Nonsense. There is no credibility or transperency in a system that has already been zoned to the North

ur wahala. i jus know ur life making noise doesn't mean u winning. go nd ask Tiger Generator nd Mikano Generator.. u will understand wat am saying...

I hate it when some employers are been tricky
Write jamb just to get recruited into the police force...
Police work na work??
Why should I join police if I know how to write my name, I dey craze abeeeggg mtcheeeeeewwe..

The go use expo pass na.. Opportunity to learn corruption early

Mean say abokì no go join police again na. Dem fear exam pass anything

Only jamb.

Enlistment into Nigerian police should be more strict with higher education and psychological and character text.

We have many touts and uncouth persons in Nigeria police.

Will that stop them from collecting #50 #50

Writing JAMB is not the main problem, passing JAMB is.

Since most of the recruits are Northerners, they will still be admitted based on quota system.

Passmark: North 10, South 270

And the Southernerns will still be downsized.
No be their daily trick?

Gbenga, see wahala.You that can't spell your name and you want to join the police force.

session film

Hmm...maybe it will improve the standard of the kind of individuals the force will start to attract.

Good but

All these are just formalities.
It doesn't stop them from picking who they want to pick.

That means northerners no go dey among

But they would find a way to make northerners majority in the police force

Nonsense
They should write WAEC instead...

Hmmmmm. This will only prevent taking stark illiterate into the system. It won't help access their behavior. NPF, please take note.



Check my signature for your quality customised Atm card flash drive.

I'm not really concerned about aptitude test and whatnot, my major concern is the psychological evaluation of those candidates.

To be candid, the type of people I see wielding AK-47 in police uniforms, are majorly mentally and psychologically unstabel.

The services of a professional body should be contracted to conduct a comprehensive test on these would-be police intakes.

Good move NPF!
Everyone is a witness to the carnage NEPA bill certificate has caused the Nation

If this is true, then it's a very welcome one.

buhari government have finally gone mad..we all know people join the police because of poverty

Lol, so they want to put all those organ write statement,innner light and anything for the boys officers out of work, they won't pass the cut off mark..

Hian!

Now this is funny

All na wash

Very good, let everybody be writing jamb before dey enter government, including all our politicians.. let inec set jamb questions and current affairs for 2019 presidential candidates, I know somebody that will fail the question who's the president of Nigeria from 2015- 2019 ?!! ... Make them disqualify who no pass !!

And those of you still supporting this current government, may you find yourself in the hands of herdsmen/haram before the new year and may your survival depend on the competency level of this government
