WTF, now this is annoying.

Each bank has between 10-15 GMs. Are you saying all of them know the bank owners?

I know people who are GMs in banks today, whose career I followed very well.
Now, don't let me name names. Got a brother that is a DGM in a bank that starts with S, our family no sabi anybody. This is somebody whose career I followed from secondary school. Very brilliant and ambitious dude. Know guys that are GM or DGM in Access, etc.

I'm not ruling out politics outright, but it is most ridiculous to say you can't become a GM or even ED without being family/relative of owner.

And why would a bank throw a GM out because he is living comfortably? Even banks take pride in their guys being 'good looking' (not necessarily ostentatious) - a plus to their brand. I don't work and have never worked in a bank but I don't expect a GM to earn less than N30m per annum. For someone that must have worked for at least 15 years before rising to become a GM and currently earning N30m/pa (not to talk of access to loans etc), you think he won't live comfortably?

AjanleKoko:

I tire
So it is improbable for these people to have all been recruited on merit?

Rhino.5dm:


From my personal experience, u don't need to know anyone to get an exxonmobil job.

Just know your stuffs, Gbam!


Is [bBleep[/b] not the name of the guy from ATBU? He had previous experience as TOTAL trainee, NO?. . .It seems you always have a way of watering down the real situation on ground.

What I know for sure is 80% fresh jobs in MNC's is based on arrangee and who you know. At least I know Exxon Mobil, Shell and Agip like back of my hand. I know like a dozen of guys that got jobs in the aforementioned without without writing job test. Worst of it is Agip that don't consider test as a criteria, all you have to know is one ashawo that is phocking Italian, you start work the next day.

Exxon is another scam. At Exxon Mobil, All you have to do is to know either Fami Dada, Asuquo or Mr. Oluwole. T.

Shell?? Yeah, where people get recruited without attending interviews? Or where 90% of SITP trainees are recruited based on insiders standing for them?

NNPC or Dpr is equally is not merit since is quota system based. The only room left is for one to get experience in the field and how do you do that, if entry level selection is fraud?

Rhino.5dm:


I can go down and tell you when, who and what happened. Lemme leave the name calling for now.


Note:
I have personally benefited with the pady pady arrangee employment thing and am not ashame to say it here, cos that's the truth. Though, I got 3 more jobs within a span of 2 weeks.

The sad part of everything is, some guys did wrote the aptitude test for the vacancy and were interviewed for the position I was given like "gala" , they were told to wait for 2 weeks only for them to be substituted with us. Does that made me less qualify for the job? NO!!!!!. I went for 2 two training processes in France and bested every other person that came for that same training. . .to cut the long story short, I got another offer with the company that came to train us less than a month into the training

I can still remember how the instructor kept persuading me to return to Europe for the job, he even offered my family members educational grants i.e. BRIBED my popsy, mumsy and my other siblings with cash in form of educational support.


I won't climb moral horse and start "posing" like baba fryo. I'll always say the truth. I no holy passssss!!!

Exxon Mobil recruitment is a piled of wet shiit. The questions for the aptitude test is given out to selected few weeks before the examination date. Quote me anywhere on this!. Infact, you don't even need to write the shl/skill test to be invited for interviews and selection class. I'M A LIVING PROOF!!!

Rhino.5dm:


Say what you know, please! What's there is these companies that a brilliant secondary school student can't handle properly? Lemme say this and repeat it again and again, there is nothing scary or big about working in Exxon Mobil or other oil coy. Just a routine, boring and unchallenging task from January to December. Stop making it look as if a 3rd class Nigerian graduate can't handle the task excellently.

Wetin be big work for hourly checking and recording the pressure of an in-line process line or sending mails directing field technicians the next date of routine preventing maintenance? My 2 years old son can do that within 30 minutes of telling him what to do. Abeg fashi that side.

Not that some people can't get recruited base on merit and all that. But what I hate is lying and denial or trying to start bragging with "yeah, I'm now working with shell, cos I'm the best" when in real na pady pady runs carry you go there. The MNC is turning into family business, where members of family rotate recruitment slots among their siblings.

Lemme call some names to buttress my point. Do you know that Demiji Isiaka, Dotun Isiaka and Razak Isiaka are thesame family members working in EXXON MOBIL?, May be na dem sabi book pass wey 3 people and their 4 in-laws will be working in EXXON MOBIL . . . Don't come here to tell me about Exxon Mobil, a place I know like the tip of my dicck. That place is like a family reunion, where members of thesame family work in different department.

Bo,Thank you for the honesty.My respect for you increased with one more level from today.Why can't we be openly honest in Nigeria and call a spade A SPADE?

Bros, am sick and tired of these lies!!!. How can I continue lying and expect Mr. president to be sincere?? That's naija for you.

Yes, merit still dey but pady pady is much much more greater!!

I swearigawd this was exactly my feeling when i came out of the skills test that they organised in the UK back in 03. Me and my wife sat for the test and both came out thinking goddamit how on earth did some people finish early with smiles on their respective faces after having been drilled on kirchoff's/hooks law and the likes.
In fact that's the most ridiculous interview I've ever been for in my life as a graduate engineer at the time.
My wife went for the process engineering test and also had to answer the ridiculous questions.

No doubt in my mind at the time that the only people that would have scaled through would have most certainly been in the know as per the questions before attending the interview.

flexyonline:

Guy this is ignorance abeg. What you have described is a technician's job. Engineers (with full engineering degrees) are not supposed to work as operators in the oil industry. You might find qualified engineers doing it not minding that the job is for ND, HND graduates because of the money but that doesn't mean it's an engineering job. Petroleum engineers in producing coys do highly technical stuff like well intervention supervision, reservoir simulation, reserves, general reservoir engineering is an Asset team environment or Asset production engineering where you design jobs and ensure wells produce optimally. Waliking lines and taking readings and sending emails are done by operations people some of whom (older folks) have just SSCE. Graduates take those jobs now because if the money.

i would say the ratio is 19:1
out of 20 workers you see in any company based in nigeria, 19 of them got there through the backdoor. the degree of the aid they got vary from person to person but they all got aided one way or the other. i dunno why jarus/ajanlekoko are trying to pull wool over the eyes of the others. your brother might not necessarily tell you the things he did to land some certain jobs!

Jarus:

I have not been mentioning Exxon, because I also know their recruitment get k-leg. The only classmate of mine that, her father retired from Exxon as a top guy. And I didn't see her at the venue when we all did the test in 2007, only to hear she was the only one (out of our classmates that did the Mobil test that year) that got the job. She is brilliant though, a First Class herself.

With 2 or more people alluding that Shell recruitment is also getting crooked, I may review my assessment, but I have seen too many people from wretched/poor backgrounds that got Shell offers in recent times to believe merit doesn't exist there. Merit still largely exists in these IOC's. Don't discourage people. That's my general point.

these too many people from humble backgrounds might have forfeited their salary in the first few months and the females might have offered their bodies.

Rhino.5dm:


I agree with everything you said here.

I'm not trying to discourage people per say but rather make them open their eyes to see things naturally. i.e. they shouldn't close their eyes when they see others photocopying something that looks like examination questions before aptitude test .
