Why Should NNPC And LNG Discriminate Between 2-1 And 2-2?

Of course i'll be going to "start up something" to employ inefficient, lazy and incompetent degree holders.
The nonsense you just typed above is reverse discrimination! Are 1st class and 2.1 students now captives of their degrees that they are now reduced to only 2 options:
 - Lecturing
 - setting up something with the motive of employing the dregs of the educational system

and while we are busy "job creating" those who do not merit it are busy taking up lucrative positions in oil companies and banks? You dear are a prime example of lopsided reasoning. Keep stewing in your ignorance and reverse psychology.


That is utter nonsense! Why have foreign universities not proscribed exams if they also believe in your absurd reasoning? If exams are not a true test of knowledge then what is?

There is a difference between oppinions not being in harmony and oppinions that are absurd to say the least. Yours unfortunately fall in the later category. Please grow up, where are the "insults" in my last post?

stop being sentimental here. Do you know the number of 1st class and 2.1 holders who hold their heads in shame anytime incompetent students accuse them of having bought their degrees? do you know how bad we feel when we are constantly told to go "create jobs" rather than competing in the labour market for opportunities?
If a grade is not a parameter of success at least it is a parameter of the level of commitment such an individual.

wisdom is not measured by how well you sugar-coat words just to boost the ego of those who chose to go philandering and clubbing when their mates were studying.
Thanks for your prayers but i would advise you focus it on yourself, you might need it when next you apply for another job!

I agree. pls ignore them jore.

I am a new member and this is the  first time I'll be giving an opinion . I hope u applied and didn't seriously consider this adverts, because  how can u be very sure that only the 2.1's applied. So, even if u don't have the cut off mark u can still try and maybe u'll get it. After all this is Nigeria.

Can anyone please tell me how the Nigerian 2-1, 2-2 and 3-0 grading system compares to the American system of GPAs. I come from an American grading system of GPAs (Grade Point Average) which is based on a maximum of a 4.0 scale. Does anyone know? Please share.

 

Offend me ke? That's very unlikely. You can't offend whom you do not see.
Back to your post, sorry if you don't like those who are blunt and not given to political correctness. I stand by every word i type, pride is not synonymous with standing up for the truth no matter how bitter it is. Everyone reaps the rewards of their labour, it is not right for those who have not labored to accuse others of "purchasing" their grades and telling them to go "create jobs"!

See the contradiction in your drivel. You claim everyone is entitled to their oppinions and yet turn around to tell me not to respond to posts i wish to respond to? Are you speaking tongue-in-cheek?

Sorry if it sounds like"pride", i've heard that a thousand times, most of the time from those who can't stand being reminded that life pays you back in your own coins!

To All,

It is unfortunate that some people do get there degrees in Nigeria through dibious means.

I stopped blaming anybody for such a discrimination when I happened to be on a recruitment panel for an organization I once worked with.

Could you beleive that for 10 positions in Nigeria and a little advertisement, you will get nothing less that 20,000 responses.

What will you do if you happened to be on such a panel? The law of demand and supply as related to price comes to play! "With a very high demand and fixed supply, the prices go up". You will use the fastest means to reduce the number by increasing the requirement(or cut off point)!!

That was what was happening for most recruitment. especially in most highly competitive companies.

As one of us said, look around for good openings with 2-2 and go for it OR for some favoured few, show that you are good enough and are made of quality stuff or even better that those with 2-1.

As another said again, go for 2nd degrees, most companies that insisted on 2-1 will consider 2-2 with a Masters, even many oil companies will do.

Cheers!

Always be positive and you will get to the top.

I am excited to see evryone contribute with so much passion and I must admit everyone has contributed well.Please let's not cricify the guy who taught some people made a 2-1 playing when they should be reading; it's his opinion. Truth is, everyone should be given a fair opportunity.It is saddening to think of the wonderful talents and potentials that many organisations would have lost just for descriminating against holders of 2-1 degrees.Grades are important though, but it's not supposed to be the yardstick for performance!

U must not work 4 LNG or NNPC. Listen,  the more one qualifies for a job and does not get it the more the frustration.  Not all 2.1 candidates have job.

The reason why they look for 2.1 is that they want people who will make it either by crook or by hook.
If u have 2.2 then u are not in that category. LNG wants people who will achieve results by working 4 it or by paying for it. U did not want to pay while in school but there wass alternative.

Funny enough, I do not have 2.1 or first class but I trust that I must make it without working for LNG. So get that idea off your mind and forge ahead.

I graduated from Uniben in 2003 and i really can't think or anybody in my class who got their 2.1s by paying for it or sleeping with a lecturer. My set churned out 5 1st class, 32 2.1s and about 80 2.2s. Some other unfortunates obtained 3rd class and pass degrees.
Most of these people got what they deserved. i've seen many brilliant people get 2.2s, most of them didnt take schoolwork seriously. and most of them accept it! if you've been having good grades, one or two lecturers scoring you low wont sink you, so please y'all should stop talking about victimisation.
measures exist to contest and combat genuine cases of victimisation. i admit it's a rocky path to follow, but if you didnt have the balls to fight it then, why prattle about it when it's too late?

at least 90% of those who got good grades got 'em the decent way, so only an idiot will come here trying to besmirch the industry of such diligent students.

Every fricking person here knew how the labour market was when he entered school, it isn't a new thing. We all knew that there was preferential treatment for those with 2.1s and 1st class. We all knew the industry out there uses our grades as benchmarks for empoyment considerations. So it smacks of serious foolishness to cast about for someone else but yourself to blame.

Many of my pals with 2.2s are doing masters now, or have finished. Why not try and apply yourself to self-improvement instead of trying to vilify employers who are only doing what you were warned/what you knew they'd do?

guys i had 2 2 but i know that if had put more effort i wd have gotten 2 1 so its my fault not the system. if u deserve 2 1 u will get it if u dont prove your brainz in d aptitude test nnpc  and the rest are not the only cool places to work, so dont get sore for nothin, CHEAVROI  is only seeking attn
