LOL. I get that people tend to be optimistic and all. But as a lawyer, I will simply opine that status quo ante bellum simply means that the parties should hands off the subject matter of the suit and the status of the parties revert to the time before the suit was instituted. Therefore, in relation to this case, parties return to the status before the test/interview was conducted. Consequently, the parties cannot do anything and any of the parties found wanting will be charged for contempt of court. I know NNPC's legal team knows the effect of such so they wouldn't dare do anything either under ground or above ground.
2ndly, as to the issue of the final judgement of the court. Notwithstanding the ratio decidendi of the court or Even if the court rules that nnpc has the legal and equitable right to cap the age at 28, the petitioner/lawyer may choose to appeal the judgement of the high Court and proceed to the court of appeal and if he is still not satisfied then proceed to the Supreme Court. I'm not trying to be a downer here but knowing the justice system in Nigeria it will probably take a minimum period of 4 to 5 years to proceed from the high court to the Supreme Court. A miracle might happen though cos hey, God is still alive. But I will just advice that if you can keep yourself busy try and do that cos it might take a little bit of time.
Stay believing!

Spot on!!! The country is in a mess.

I doubt u are a lawyer. Because if u were, u wouldn't have typed all this. All because a judge said all parties should maintain status quo on a case, to allow one party time to prepare.

My dear, I know graduate trainee are for graduates that will be trained . In fact I'm also aware that the age is fair but we shouldn't use international standard to judge national standard. All nation have there own problems and they should map out methods to curb it without international interference. Using age to disqualify graduate is not something that will favour many in Nigeria .Our academic system is not as balance as that of the first world country, so there standard of graduate trainee can never work here.

baba I have to admit u are my favourite personality on this thread...but honestly why all this negativity, why can't some ppl just shut up if they have nothing good to say, seriously there are some ppl on this thread that will be very happy if this recruitment is cancelled, but guess what...it won't, and we will be here to rub our apl on your hateful faces insha Allah

muhamm3d:

It's crazy out there but don't let this nnpc job consume you. I have seen many people go down this road. Don't let it consume you to the point of thinking you have no option in life. This your comment shows you have seen it as the last thing for you. I just felt I should correct a wrong perception. But hey, if you choose to interpret it like that, good for you. Hope keeps us sane after all

The court decision is not complicated. Status quo means to continue with the current state of affairs. Don't forget an accused is not guilty until proven otherwise.

To NNPC this is not even a case at all, the corporation has bigger legal requirements to deal with. Why is it that civil service and judicial officers have retirement age?. Do you expect a justice of the supreme court to serve for only 15 years in their career?

Entry level requirement is set in all organisations. The prosecutor is just mischievous. Elected public offices have age requirements set for them e.g. Presidency is 40 years, Senate and HOR is 30 etc.

Another perspective is that there is no legal precedent or labor laws that prevents a company from setting its recruitment requirements. Thus, this case would be swiftly thrown out.

You want to mock people with your success and you are adding God's name. That's unfair no matter how hateful you feel they are. Nobody is hateful against you except you ask your village people.

klassd:


Crap NNPC will appeal this shitty judgement. How can a lawyer sue NNPC saying 28 years is descrimnatory for Graduate Trainees.

hafeezsemzy:
Funny how we let emotions be our guide instead of been factual.
Even with the age limit NNPC has put in place we have more than a million applicants and 9k+ interviewed for the jobs, how many will get the APL?
Like my interviewer mentioned "we are looking for the best of the best".
My point is even when every Nigerian in Nigeria applies, not even 1/7th will get in. So what's the point of not having requirements that includes age?

We just have to revamp our entire education system to meet proper standards not keeping hold of mediocracy.

Modubabunuye:
Stop argument, even if court dissolved the recruitment and order a fresh at GT age 30-35 , we can still apply, so long as we attended final phase

Do you think we where born to keep applying for NNPC recruitment while they keep cancelling. Dude, have some pride!

Recruitment is not yet officially cancelled by there is a sixty percent chance it would be as they are yet to reach a consensus. I weep for my country Nigeria, who did this to us? Let us keep praying that the plan of the evil ones would not come to pass in this recruitment. Our labour shall never be in vain and we shall reap the fruits of our labour. Fast and pray , the battle is fierce. The first fraud was DPR and the same fraud is about to happen here in a more technical manner. Let us put our faith together as a group and declare a 3 days fasting and prayer if you guys are interested. We fast Monday to Wednesday and I assure us , God would give us victory.

LARRIDE,

You are very ignorant for making this comment and let me warn you, do not comment on my post ever again. You must be a very rude fellow and I was thinking otherwise until now. This is your last warning.

From your words here,I can see you think like a child , please we are not mates. I did not even apply for supervisor cadre so that should tell you we are not mates. That we joke here sometimes does not mean we should throw caution to the wind when addressing ourselves. I advice you keep yourself busy. I assure you can’t keep half of this same energy you exude here when you see some of us in person. Be guided !

Sotrue:
Well spoken! When I was telling them about prayer and fasting 3 days ago, they thought it was a joke. Day by day, reality will dawn on us. My only prayer is that it will end in praise by God’s grace.
