@chasteguy...abeg coman help me read this....

What about this category of people

Jarus:


25.6m people applying for NNPC jobs is statistically impossible.

Nigeria has a population of 180m. 25.6m means 1 out of every 7 Nigerians applied.

I doubt 3 people in my family of 100 applied. My mum and sisters did not apply. My wife and children did not apply. All carpenters and mechanics in my area did not apply.

So where is the 1 out of every 7 coming from?

Some stats are common sense. They cannot be true.

Nigeria has a population of 180m.
44% are 0-14 years of age, 53% between 15-64 years, and 2.7% above 65 years.
That means the number of adults of working age is 53% ie 95.4m. The literacy rate in Nigeria is 60%, that means only 57m are able to read and write from the adult population (an illiterate cannot apply to NNPC).

Now, that adult population includes people between 15-20 years, who could not have applied for NNPC. Let's say those are 5m. We have 52m left.

Now, are you saying 25m out of 52m (1 out of every 2 educated adult Nigerians) applied for NNPC job?

We have not even taken out those who are still in the universities, Polytechnics and COEs but are above 20 years.

It is just statistically impossible.

mosgoon:

Spot on! Now, this is closer to market sizing estimation..professionally. We do it A LOT during my time at McK for big name clients and critical situations so once i saw that, i knew right away it was totally impossible

Sempumping:

But what is Mck doing here again..oh Lawd

mosgoon:
Honestly, I'm indifferent

Jarus:




You want your frenemies here to come for your head again.

#LOL

I like you sha.

LadyHeaven:


I hardly post here anymore but came on and saw this, sis we get you probably have a "connect" in NNPC enough of all this a friends sister's uncle's brother said ish, for this your sauce i can TELL you its definitely NOT true, there is NO correlation between TP/APL, so my people pray hard because even people inside towers have NO concrete info, and just formulate logical things they heard via hearsay. Bubu and Kyari intend to use this recruitment to set a new precedent it been the major recruitment since both parties entered power (president/minister of pet. & GMD) they intend to use it as a yard stick to prove that they are men of integrity and are fair, and to me its a welcome development, YES back door would still play out definitely [b]but merit level would surprise a whole lot of US, [/b]the only thing we can do now is PRAY, ignore so called sauces and face your God...most of them know not what they spew

GL

PS- Those with so called legit sauces would hardly ever post anything they hear, Nigerians are pretty superstitious and wouldn't want to jinx it by calling undue attention to themselves

mosgoon:


haha. honestly, i don't even know again, sometimes i would want to type and then think deep unnecessarily because of past events. But i included that to give context as Management Consulting companies eat Estimations for food. I honestly don't care anymore what anyone thinks. I still remain on this thread cos it's a very fun thread and I want to see how events unfold

Jarus:


Feel free to say whatever you want to say. People will always accuse you of one thing or the other. It comes with social media participation. You can't stop it. I also get that from time to time, even on this thread, but I have learnt to ignore.

Gbriels:
Tfare and APL don't relate unless u force them....
Thank u local man...@souljar
I have been on d look out for this phrases since thirty first of February any time I hear the word "relate" or
"relationship"...

Sirvingeo:
The people that registered for that job is not more than 250k . An Nnpc official that addressed us said it . He said most people didn’t qualify that was why they reduce the number for the CBT to 60k . And I was even surprised when he pegged the interview list at 9000.
After that I was wondering where the million applicant information emanated from. Nigeria bloggers are liars .

Sempumping:


You mean I like to fight ? I only asked a question na


I told you all about %merit bah ...... Everyone uld be shocked at the amount of deserving local men and women that would be successful .

That's the only exciting thing about this process

krypton:

Nice analysis Jarus, though my submission to mosgoon earlier shows that the number of applicants can't be less than 400,000 or even 800,000 as mentioned in some posts.

1m is even a believable figure. I suspect that applicant's number tells it. I saw a 600k number for GT

ChasteGhuy:
