Abuja, Nigeria – E be like say dem don scatter the new recruitment portal wey Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) set up to take applications for their paramilitary services. Na just two days after dem show face for Monday, July 14, 2025, the portal don crash, and thousands of applicants dey waka for the road of disappointment.
According to wetin dem talk, the wahala start after dem notice many people dey rush enter the portal. The system no fit carry the load, and error messages like “unconditional drop overload” don dey greet many hopeful applicants. Na why dem decide to close the portal from Wednesday, July 16, to fix things make e sabi run well. Dem go open am again on Monday, July 21, 2025, as dem promise say dem go upgrade the system to fit carry more people wey wan apply.
As e be now, many pple wey dey our obodo Naija don dey vex. Dem don dey yell up and down say, “Wetin happen to the system wey dem say go help us?” (Na true, because for Naija, na so e be, we dey hope for better things but we still dey see wahala) Applicants dey complain say dem no fit fill their forms or submit any material, and dis matter dey cause yawa among dem. E no go sweet to miss opportunity wey go fit turn life around because website dey misbehave.
The CDCFIB don talk say dem appreciate the excitement wey young Nigerians dey show to serve inside these paramilitary agencies. Dem sabi say e no easy to carry work matter come for young pikin, especially with how job matter dey go for this country. But the return of the portal go dey a big deal for wey don dey vex already, no be so?
For this recruitment wey dey for Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Fire Service (FFS), and Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), young pikin wey fall under age 18 to 35 and no get any criminal record suppose stand toe-to-toe to apply for these positions. But with di way the portal don disgrace applicants, many don dey doubt if dem go get chance to fill the forms before deadline wey dey come – August 4, 2025.
As dem dey work on fixing the wahala with the portal, our padi dem wey don dey try apply go need to keep dey pray because this one e no carry small wahala. Na to stay sharp and keep an eye out for when dem come back online go be di new plan. As I dey talk so, the situation dey reflect how badly govenments agencies dey manage website for this country. It no suppose dey hard to set up online recruitment wey go work well, abi wetin you think?
In essence, we fit only hope say dis Recruitment portal go get sense when e reopen. For now, e be like say applicants go just dey chill, because anything wey no fit run well for Naija, na wahala. But no worry, we go dey here dey monitor the matter and gist you anytime any new thing show face. E go beta, my people! Stay tuned!
