nonye6194: After getting the request letter from the new prospective PPA, I discussed with the HR staff and concluded everything that needed clearing up. We agreed resuming on the second week of September, buying me some time to sort out the reposting letter and get myself ready to begin work.
Fast forward to the thirteenth day of September, 2018, I reported to the firm at about 8:20am (due to traffic) and waited at the security post reception to be called in. Thirty minutes passed and no one sent for me, while other visitors who were in the reception got called. I even called the staff I concluded things with in my last visit, but this uncle was ignoring my calls. Then another panicking begun.
What if this pipu are planning to reject me
I pushed away the thoughts and remained positive. At about 9:48am, I got called by one of the security to head down to the factory section.
Olórun majè ò
At the factory entrance, I met with three men who introduced themselves to me before we proceeded into the factory office. Further introductions were made and I found out these men would be my bosses for the next 10 months. We had a bit of chit chat before one of them took me round the company on a short tour. During which I got introduced to several units/departments of the company and workers that manned these areas at that time. My oga/guide told me that there are other extensions of the companies around the state and across the western regions of the country, which serves mostly as depots, sub factories, warehouses and distribution points. Towards the end of the tour, I was gasping for breath lol.
At the end of the tour, I was asked to feel free and hang out with workers in the factory to get acquainted with them and a bit of what they're doing for the rest of the week. And at the end of the week, they'll draft a structure of rotating me through all the units/departments related to my discipline for my period of service here.
It felt like I was reliving my internship rotation suffering in Port Harcourt Refinery already .
Everyone I met with and got introduced to from the gate welcomed me with so much warmth that let me forget my security post panic . And I thought that the idea of rotation in a huge firm like this would give me relevant experience in various unit operations similar to what graduate interns gain in the oil and gas firms too.
I totally forgot to introduce my PPA, e ma binu
The firm is a LLC, located around Isolo LCDA of Lagos state, reputable for Holtz automobile and heavy duty liquid products and an endless list of domestic and industrial fluids. We also carry out major contracts within our scope for governments and top multinationals. The company clocked 48 years old the same week I resumed work and our MD is still as strong as ever handling his business with pride .
That's how far I can reveal, no vex.
So I joined the workers in automobile production area for the rest of the day and by the time it was lunch break, I was so exasperated from the little help I rendered there.
Na so e go be
I didn't go back there for the rest of the day for obvious reasons sha . Instead, I stayed back in the factory office until 5pm when the company closes for 9am-5pm workers, while those on shift work 7am-7pm and 7pm-7am.
After a day at my new PPA and a few others that followed, thoughts about the island firm I applied to were far away from my mind, while my reposting issue persisted still. Although, I didn't bother much about it now as before but still, I hoped everyday I went to work that by the end of the day when I return home and check my profile's dashboard, I'll find the letter ready. This didn't happen and I always ended up pissed at the whole system for being ineffective, just like every other system in this country.

I hope you are well? I know I promised to make updates to this thread. About that I have one good news and one bad news:
Sad news, I don't think that would happen anytime soon
Good news, I joined the japa exodus and moved to the United States and it has been a fantastic experience
It's been a rollercoaster of experiences for me since my last post here and I wish I could take time and put them down like when I was serving in 18/19. I am still hopeful because I enjoyed doing this and I have been documenting pictures for whenever I may have the time to do so.
I never forgot y'all and I hope we get to communicate again.
