Ms Josephine Washima is President Jonathan's Special Adviser on job creation. There's a special adviser on job creation? #ohok! Anyway, Ms Washima today at a news conference in Abuja, promised to create at least 5, 000 jobs for people who are qualified. What she said below...
Last week someone called me and was offering me 5, 000 job
vacancies. We are going to have a website where people can upload their
CVs. I don’t need to know you; I don’t need to know your face. Just go
there, if you qualify for that job, apply for it and be sure that you
will be called up for an interview.
We are not bringing anything new. We are not trying to do something
that has never been done before. But we are going to build on existing
structure and strengthen the labour laws of this country in such a way
that we will do away with bottle-necks.
We don’t need anybody asking any Nigerians for a note to get a job from anybody. We will work closely with the National Bureau
of Statistics to get appropriate data of unemployed Nigerians.
5000???And how many graduates are unemployed??
ReplyDeleteOver 5 million
DeleteThis woman must have smoked something! How can a broke ass govt full of corrupt sharks create any jobs?These punks r not interested in creating jobs 4 any NiGerian,they r basically grOomed to steal as individuals and 4 their party,d rest of nigerians r OYO, on ur own! Period!
ReplyDeleteOhakim gave 10000 @ state level and u̶̲̥̅̊ re giving us 5000. This į̸s Ohakims scam like @ the fed level chikina
ReplyDeleteyimu.. do it first then open ur mouth to announce what you have done. afterall actions speaks louder than word. Madam your talk is cheap.
ReplyDeleteAll of em are just bloody washers like my man vector said.. Washersssssssssssssss oshamo ondun..
Delete**Who is fooling who??**
ReplyDeleteAnd what difference exactly will the 5000 jobs make compared to the number of unemployed graduates (at least) out there?
ReplyDeleteImagine! Don't mind dem jare. They are all sick uptairs! 5000. She must be mad
DeleteNational Bureau of kini? Those ones that don't know the number of their staff. I give it to her, she's got jokes!
ReplyDeleteBtw, 5000 is too small for a whole FG. If Osun state can provide over 10,000 jobs in 100 days and is still paying all those employed without problems, why can't FG do multiples of that?
"I don’t need to know you; I don’t need to know your face"
ReplyDeleteCmon sharap there, who wants to see or know ur wowo face. isi-ewu. hisss
She sure knows how she got her appointment. By "note" of course! Someone called her and wz offering her 5000 jobs! Can u imagine? A whole S.A on Job creation! Who should b calling to offer jobs? Ms Washima or the "someone"? ME...
ReplyDeleteThink this lady lacks wisdom of even d jobless Pple in this country. Am thinking that she may be of those girl friends to those big men in Aso rock bcos she has nothing to offer.
DeleteIts a new age where unemployment has made more and more people, business minded and now more than statistics show that has been a 52% increase in busniess start up from 2010 -2012, What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

ReplyDeleteThis our government are full of shit. Countries are creating 5mil job..here they are talking and boosting to create 5000 jobs
ReplyDeleteonly for your village People abii??stupid
NYC-1 says: Does it mean that ones Major doesn't count in this type of job? Doctors, Engineers, Accountants, Tailors and Conductors can apply for the same position?
ReplyDeleteRubbish! how can you say you would create 5000 jobs just bcos someone called you last week and told you he/she has 5000 job positions to offer.
ReplyDeleteYou want to create jobs you know nothing about.
You don't know what economic sector you want to create the job for.
You don't know if they are skilled or unskilled labour or if they are temporary or permanent positions.
Abeg komot jooo, if you have no tangible thing to say then SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like Seriously !!!! U wey wan create jobs for pple how many has she created sef ...

5000 jobs for 152 million people jonathan you try, next time make una vote for am.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahhahah!! Lmao!! The biggest irony is her own job is irrelevant and d revenue being wasted on it can be used to create 50 jobs, if u add up d revenue wasted on d other irrelevant 'special adviser' jobs at least 50,000 jobs can be created....... Whoz fooling who?

ReplyDeleteof salvo and drama..... Olugbenga
Instead of nagging here which is not going to change anything why dont you watch and see if its going to be a success, then send your CVs to see what will happen....
ReplyDelete@ Fatimah, and who told you NBS does not know the no of staff they have? did u ask them for it and they gave you a wrong figure, besides what business do you have knowing the no of staff NBS has, is that the issue here? my friend pass the mic and face what is important here.
ReplyDeletecommon get out
ReplyDelete5000 thousand job.... are you guys for real... In a country were thousands of graduates are churned out every year ..... what a shame
ReplyDeletewendu
In January, we were told 10,000 jobs will be provided in each state... Whatever happened to that
ReplyDeleteUseless government
ReplyDeleteOk divide 5000 by 36 state plus F.C.T = 135 jobs per state and what difference will that make in a population of about 170 million people with over 50 % unemployed or under-employed??? This woman is just on a very long thing. They should take the jobs and shove it down their asses. Jokers
ReplyDeleteIts nt enuff Madam Job Creation......n dats if its tru,Nonsense uPon Ingredients. *eyez rolling
ReplyDeleteWhat is the statistics of graduates that leave our higher institutions yearly and how many of them are either employed or set our their business. Am sure she does not even know the jobless percentage we have. This lady has nothing to offer with just 5000 jobs. Haba? Who called you. This may just be another scam to retain her job and satisfy her paymasters. Check out her background, she got her job though either her parents or relations and not based on her qualifications.
ReplyDeleteThis clueless clown epitomises GEJ's government.....period! Kmt
ReplyDeleteY is washima washing us now? Abeg someone tell her to hold her tongue!
ReplyDeleteTel her to get married first....
ReplyDeleteShe's GEJ's Mistress.

ReplyDeleteDo they knw aw many graduates that are unemployed? Have they been to each states to ask? Cos she dey do yanga say 5000jobs and aw possible is that? Fashola is tryn on hs own encouragin ppl to learn handy work bt after learning nko? Is der a shop waitin or any materials to b used?

Ms Washima, are you going to create jobs out of the air? The outside world is having a good laugh at your naivete. Rule of thumb no 1 for creating jobs is create a stable, progressive and conducive business environment then you wont need to make this embarrassing announcement. This means encourage investors, eliminate 419, prevent airlines from making travel a nightmare and a "not necessary" by not allowing anything but in person bookings for flights that include Nigeria as a destination because we have been tagged a high fraud route (what a “forsaken by all” country), shutting down Boko Haram to create a sense of stability for investors, improve your educational system so that graduates can write one correct sentence in English (which in today's world means castrating most male lecturers who are sexual predators and engaged in prolific sex for grades blackmail, and killing off the rest who sell handouts and use other intimidation means other than teaching to create a non-academic environment – and DRUMROLL….it CAN BE DONE and SHOULD BE DONE), encourage microeconomies (Nigeria has the consumer base; figure out what types of economies abroad including that Dubai of a place are surviving only because of Nigerians, and make a concerted effort to bring those types of businesses and jobs home), provide SUPERVISED incentives to honest and well-meaning Nigerians (Not the uber rich and women who can get anywhere with their downlow) to set up small scale industries across the nation, etc etc. I no be economist but I sabi all these things because I live in a country where we have these debates sometimes as intellectuals and at least those who want to be informed can be informed. You are creating 5000 jobs for the 10k illiterate and uneducated youth in my local government area? When you talk nationwide, are you including all those young northern men who are in phase 3 of what happens when there is massive inequity in society? The ones in my LGA who now kidnap and are technically on salaries of 3-4 million naira every 3 weeks? How much you wan pay them, sister? Na 5k jobs every month abi na 5k jobs for now and evermore? Where did GEJ my love and sweetie pie pick these people? Patience abeg hurry up return house see whether you go help my bros. The more I think about this the more agitated I get. Abeg, na early momo for here. Linda make I no fill all your space with my vexation. Its too early for HBP resulting from all these annoying announcements. When will it stop!!!!

Ms Washima, is this not a new job scam? 5000 jobs for millions of unemployed youths?

ReplyDeleteWell done Ms Washima, that will be a right step in the right direction, just make it happen. you can see the frustration from the bloggers, their reaction is not at a result of lack of faith in system but the constant failed promises in the hands of the Old brigades. and bloggers please try and make ur point and avoid ridiculous and cynical comments. "Captivity in negativity". God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteA trial will convince us.. Let's watch and see the reality of her statement, if they can actually actualise that, then it is a starting point...
ReplyDeleteAnother sex merchant gets elevated.....too much sex goes on in that villa especially now that Peshe is on a sick bed. Poor Nigeria! Madam, i pray this appointment gets you a gigolo for a husband.....make you at least carry that one go as achievement!
ReplyDeleteNd this prayer came 2 pass.lol
DeleteAll this talk about trial and waiting to see.........please Linda,did u interview this lady yourself? Do you know her? This lady is a crackhead o! This position of hers does not exist. Please ask for her office and pay her a visit and then get back to us. Thank you
ReplyDeleteLook at dis government ppl playing with unemployed ppl like me abeina who una dey fool. 5000jobs ni 5000jobs ku. wat happen to ohakim 10000 jobs? NO BE STORY STORY? Abeg close that hole u call a mouth and stop wasting our time. mouth makers
ReplyDeleteAll of them plus Jonah are high on sapele water!what is 5k jobs?Infact,Naija na home video.I wonder wot next.5,000 jobs....hmmmm*I sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe SA job Creation is a woman that has without anything or an appointment developed human beings and guided them to become who they want to become thru entrepreneurship skills development...if you do not know her go and read her profile and see what she has done in her active work life...she's just not a big mouthed Nigerian who does not believe in her country...it is a shame that we Nigerians prefer to go be second-class citizens else where in the world wash up old people's shit...pls if you are not joining the train of young Nigerians who have decided to make a change u can do us a favor and keep quite cos you have no value to add.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way all i read on this blog is about cheating husbands, girlfriends etc, so i do not expect anyone here to be supportive of someone who has being helping ordinary Nigerians all along with no support from anywhere...guys just report ur cheating husbands n wives n girlfriends n boyfriends n leave job creation alone...u cant b jack of all trades...cave out a niche for urselfs n create a job...if u love blogging start one lets c how u will do...
ReplyDeleteJob Creation is a continuous process and its not just about money but about encouraging ppl to start a business doing what they like doing...so if its gossip u like pls start a blog or go take up a job as a journalist...trust me u will make it.
ReplyDeleteThank u Victor...lets learn to give ourselves the benefit of doubt n not b quick to condemnation for lack of knowledge...everyone has a life style but its what u do to add value to society that matters to some of us...pls all ya bloggers what ve u done to help another human being in ur life's b4 other then try very hard to destroy them...lets start from there....
ReplyDeleteThank u Mr. Okeowo for that advise...i will certainly check out ur blog...weldone. Please those who ve ears should hear....and those who ve started a business and ran aground, pls don't give up....keep trying or seek professional advise on how to start and grow a business and pls give constructive criticism and not bad belle criticism when u ve not being able to succeed at anything.
ReplyDeleteTony u should b banned from the world wide web (www) for making foolish comments u cannot defend...u should seal up ur dirty mouth cos u cant even help urself not to talk of helping anyone else...pls lets know what u do apart from joblessly surfing the net without any clear destination.
ReplyDeleteThe office of SA jobcreation is barely up and running and I think what we really need (as hard as it may seem) is to give them a chance and see what they have to offer...
ReplyDeleteIt is well!
ReplyDeleteHey peeps! What I read here is lack of believe. People! BELIEVE. When you believe in ur self u can then believe in someone or something and that will work right.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much criticism and sarcasicm in all comments, but I guess she who is working to create jobs already know that data has to be collected, skilled n unskilled, so why can't you all be supportive n give her a chance. Correct, we have been so messed up in the country but when you look around who are the people that messed us up? Ourselves, for we condemn before accepting, please guys let's be realistic and do something to help ourselves instead of cheap talk. BELIEVE guys. SA to the president on job creation has come to work n work she will.
Now we know that we ve a big task ahead of us bcos some Nigerians that r supposed to b knowledgable n exposed cannot distinguish btw "job creation n a blow job, but not to worry, that is y we are opening up job centers all over the country to enable those that ve no idea or clue what they want to achieve in life can go there and get free career counseling, to realize their dream. Pls BELIEVE!!!
ReplyDelete@Ritz we are BELIEVERS, pls join the train and stop being an unbeliever. Nigerians believe in yourselves...we can change our country only if we support ourselves n stop engaging in unproductive activities.
ReplyDeleteThank u very much guys for expressing ur opinions and giving the office of the SA job creation celebrity status by ur comments...we really appreciate. BELIEVE!!!
ReplyDeleteLike seriously guys, we need to give this office a chance. You don't just condemn what u ve not seen, give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteCreating the office alone has created some jobs! I believe more will be created! Jobs will be created.
Just BELIEVE!
Pls we should learn to express ourselves openly and stop being anonymous, make yourselves known and let your voices be heard cos you don't know where your help will come from...BELIEVE!!!
ReplyDeleteJob centers! I knew something good will come out of this office, I mean they sure know what they are doing. Who ever put that Lady there ain't doing no mistakes I know she will perform and we naija youths will be proud to have some one like that there.
ReplyDeleteFor me I have never heard any one made such a promise. Of course many projects have been brought on board for job creation n nothing has come up, I get that! It's quite frustrating but I see a new light. Kudos to the president on this one. It is well! The SA will deliver, let's support her.
Ayeesha our office is at the Federal Secretariat phase 1 block 3A rooms 25-33 Shehu Shagari way Abuja...u can pay us a visit and i hope u are not the supplier to the crackheads u are referring to...Linda pls take note of some of this crack sellers using ur blog and coding to sell crack from ur blog...Mind u NDLEA is on the watch out including the SSS....
ReplyDeleteit's shocking the rate at which Nigerian do not believe in their capabilities. Be aware that there is a quiet revolution by young Nigerians who r committed to making Nigeria a better place and the office of the SA job creation is a starting point... better join the train or be left behind... Nigerians BELIEVE!!!!
ReplyDelete@Abike please are you sure you're not in desperate need of psychiatric attention? coz from ur pic it seems you do.
ReplyDeleteHey guys ..pls this is really embarrassing, i am pleading to you to please use this opportunity to make sensible comments on blogs that you know r being read world wide, please we need to start taking note of how we r being viewed and judged by the world...so try n have sensible n reliable info.. so that we can make informed comments and be looked at as the intelligent ppl we are.. how on earth can we have this opportunity and we are making a joke of it...this is just to show how cynical Nigerians are...pls lets try n make a change....BELIEVER
ReplyDeleteJOB CENTERS..u said...give it a year or so be infested with rats and cockroaches!!..country of waste!!
ReplyDelete@BELIEVER
ReplyDeleteCut us some slack joor..haven't you heard GEJ is planning to sell a large stake of PHCN to IBB and Odetola..and you expect us to fall for this gimmick..that country disheartens me!!..hopeless basket case..jus saying the truth and u no more a passionate 9ja man than I am!!
@ Anonymous..
ReplyDeletefirst of all, am not a Man and its good you're passionate about our beloved country Nigeria..so pls try and be optimistic about this latest office(SAPJC) created by the President.. its the first of its kind, so this is to show how serious the President is about putting food on ordinary Nigerian's Tables by providing them with job security..it doesn't have to be a blue-collar job..its going to b private sector driven including the various kinds of professions we have in this country as it is being done else where In emerging economies.. passion is not said its seen in ur attitude...BELIEVE!!!
We are still waiting...
