What were recruiters thinking of in Nigeria?

Snap shots of stadiums used for recruitment test.

A stampede among jobseekers taking a recruitment test in national stadium in Nigerian capital Abuja has left many people dead and injured. The stampede came during a recruitment exercise by the immigration department. Tens of thousands had turned up to take the test.

The Abuja stadium which is not to sit more than 60,000 people had well over 80,000 people. Did you know that each applicant paid £1,000 registration fee and there were over 2 million applicants (the level of corruption is unbelievable).

How was this allowed to happen? Whoever is in charge needs to be sacked. Words fail me.
