You better go for the contract job and forget the state civil service job. Job security my foot! That is how they've been deceiving people with the 'job security slogan'. Nothing there is secured when even your future/life after retirement is not even secured. Salaries are being owed and pensions are not even regular talk less of gratuities. I had to resign from the state civil service where I was retained after my service year to join the private sector. Today I run my own distribution company to the Glory of God. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

The government job is like being in a comfortable zone where you just take whatever is brought to coz u know u r secured somehow.........spate of unpaid salaries, under utilisation etc. The contract job is dope bro.....u will task ur brain and even get paid for it. U live a better life and have enough to save up for better things even when the contract terminates. Just have a good plan when going into the contract job.....like a 2-3year plan and target both financially and career wise. Don't pick the government job except if it's with the federal govt, at that sef, I will still pick the contract job. Presently, I'm almost concluding plans and process of leaving my state govt job for one of such jobs u mentioned! Just be smart and have a target/plan. 3 Likes |

Don't accept government offer. Unless you are shortsighted. Normal hustlers won't take govt job even for free, it's a distraction. Unless you want to live later in life either struggling financially or by taking bribes etc. The ball is at your court 1 Like |

If you are the lazy type who don't mind cooling off at the office and doing eye service, govt job is good. Nobody will sack you and you grow in corrupt practices. But if you are the field type(engineer) and you wanna own your company someday, take job with multinational with this goals in mind; 'You are working for the 3years to write certifications, gather experience and make sure you use your money well'. You still have to decide bro Coz if e red, na u go still bear the brunt! 5 Likes 1 Share |

Whichever way someone's else's prayer is about to be answered cos this is a mutually exclusive event. You must take one and leave one for your fellow Nigerian which isn't bad if u ask me... Nontheless I'll say u look at the contract job with multinational. The moment some prospective employers see a big multinational name in ur CV they begin to develop more interest in u cos of your previous work background and experience. You will never grow fast in a state civil service in terms of career and experience coupled with the nonchalance tolerated towards work and the rest. Nothing to motivate u to work more or be focused. At the budding phase of ur career u need better motivation and push. In the end ..ask God for directions and better decisions. Youread definitely going to have a job and bless ur naija brother with one. My 2 cents. 1 Like |

Take charge of your life. With the contract job, u ll thrive to do better to get an extension, DAT way ur life will be interesting and fun. With the government job, you will be doing every day routine, feeling comfortable complaining about the government, fighting for allowances, managing resources cos ur salary finishes in every two weeks of the month. You will be attending boring events like funerals, naming ceremony and donating ur small salary to those getting married. 7 Likes |

Obviously you are someone who is inexperienced in life to be asking such crass question. How can you even think twice, people are looking to work and save up enough money to leave Nigeria. how is such a thought not in your mind.how long would you work for a state government firm that you can save enough to even buy a car.upwardly mobile people get through to financial success. you must be ambitious in this life. state government employees usually lack ambition in life. work in an environment with people that will inspire you daily. 2 Likes |

Take the two. Find a way to hold down the civil service job if you know what I mean. There's always a way to go around it. After 5 years of good savings, start a good business that will fetch you huge sums. Then chill with the civil service job. 2 Likes |

If the contract job is 150k per month, brother forget am. Wetin you go save? I guess you are just starting life. You will want to live as a young man, prepare to get married. And you may want to do these things as the money comes in. Before you know it, fifth year is in front of you and you have maybe, just maybe, around 500k in your bank account with a wife and a baby. REALITY BRO. Unless the contract job gives a return of 300k, brother, my candid input is for you to stick with the state. You can do some side gigs with your time as it will give you more time to try other things.It will help you to streamline your expenses according to your 'meagre' income. The last time I checked, those state civil servants are not as poor as we depict them. They even live better than most people in private sector. 3 Likes |
