wandel,thanks for dt very early morning call.

it gave me an assurance dt my day was sure goin to be good.

nagode

have a great day too

i must say i have seen quite some characters of people in this life but i stand to be corrected,i have never seen a lot as mature as d peeps on this thread.

i know the first person on this thread got his letter exactly two tuesdays ago.

but since then i have been waiting to see the usual nigerian reaction of trying to blame everyone else but ourselves for any "woe" dt befalls us.

i have been thoroughly disappointed.

guys have taken the whole thing in their strides.they've taken it calmly and stoically realising that in the end ,we'd all be fine.

funny enough i have gone through my down moment(dt was even 2 weeks back) but thank God for plan B's ,i am so good to go.

i must commend nlng.

i am sure those guys saw hell in picking the candidates they finally settled for.

some of the greatest minds on this thread have been left behind(albeit temporarily,i believe) but i happen to know some of the guys chosen and these guys have sworn on their integrity dt they know not even a broomstick in nlng let alone a cleaner.

i have no cause to doubt them.

and dts perhaps y i am so happy for them and for me.cos i know i gave it my best shot.

jill, my love.

how could u do this to me.

how could u just leave without even a word of "goodbye".

u remember, after kuwena u were the next person i ever told i loved her writing style.

as i once said ,ur write-ups were like a soothing balm to my soul.

u had an indescribable way with words.

u created ur own style, totally different from ours.

then u just stopped posting.

good to have u back tho.

hope u dont leave me and us like this again

kuwena is indeed a genius.

never has this thread had such visits until kuwena dropped his post.

isnt there a possibility he dropped all those controversial lines knowing that pple would be reacting till next week when he has time to post again.

if that was d aim ,the guy has more than succeeded.

for bringing ehido out once again,kuwena deserves some kudos.

i remember before the advent of opoks,the dominant forces on this thread were kuwena,ehido, jill and i.

all of a sudden ehido went awol.

despite all the pleadings,he refused to come back.thank God we now know y he left and has even realised he was too hasty in judging.

ehido,welcome back.

i missed all the part on "my pastor said."

in the end we'd all be fine

i have read the posts on this thread since kuwena dropped his classic and i havent ceased to wander how one man can draw people who have long been lost on this thread into posting again.

i have delibrately kept away from posting knowing that kuwena would get more than enough replies from the guys on the thread

secondly,i have had d privilege of meeting with kuwena and after gisting with him for close to 3hours i came to recognise the fact that this is one guy who apart from being a genius is also a very emotional guy.

his story of his life gave me a better explanation for his nature.

i dont think there is anybody who would go thru half of what he has gone thru dt wouldnt be.

i must assure u guys that the part on selling his soul to the devil was something said in that period of madness all human beings have.

even psychologists agree that human beings have at least five minutes of madness everyday before returning to a state of lucidity.

knowing kuwena,he would be here in less dn one week to apologise to us and to God for all he said.

the guy never meant dt part on selling his soul.

Wandel,adrianic is so proud of u.

perhaps as proud of u as ur parents.

why?

cos u are an alumnus of the Greatest University of Ibadan and u also served in kebbi, where i happened to have served too.

perhaps i even know ur face.

and furthermore considering ur Godly fortune of being the first person i have seen to have had three jobs in three months and have worked in all of them.

men when i grow up i will like to be like u o.

here is wishing u the best in all ur endeavours,my bro.

Greatest UITE

opoks,i have read so many posts from u but i must confess the penultimate one is d most classic of them all.

i quite agree with all ur postulations there.

at the end of it all we'd be fine.

kenosym,congrats again my bro.dont forget that agreement i had with u then o about being my page boy.hope u are still game?howz portharcourt

abuja is now cold.the harmattan which happens to be my best season ,is here.i have come to realise dt most of my problems seem to dissipate during this season.the cold kind of takes it away.is there any one feeling sad and looking for an opportunity to get away from his familiar environment,then come here for a few days .i am sure u'd feel better after it.

opoks was always fond of saying"even if i am not chosen by nlng,i know i have lived my own nlng on this thread".i sure cannot agree less.one thing i definitely will never forget is dt i met some of the greatest pple ever to come out of this country on this thread.whenever i hear dt idiotic saying that nigerian graduates are half baked, i have a ready answer with the peeps i met on this thread.thank God i have established contact with some and i hope to make these friendships endure for a long time.

since d first day kenosky told me he had received his letter i have oscillated between different moods from dejection to sobriety to excitement and confidence and to a renewed assurance of the security of my future in God.i think i am in dt last state now.i have come to realise dt setbacks and disappointments even make a more solid authobiography.i have sat down to imagine reading a book from kenosky who made a first class but after graduation had to face rejection from some top companies and now having the blessings rushing and pouring at him.after being rejected by the big dogs hes worked in first Bank, Zenith and now NLNG.his story greatly inspires me and with kenosky i have come to realise dt what will be will be .it may take time but it will surely be.so for all my peeps who may be feeling sad(its only natural) its all goin to be fine at the end.

tommyex ,it was nice speaking to you too my brother.at the end of it all we are all goin to be fine

nlng picked kenosky and kenosym.maybe i would have used kenosyd as my user name o.ok,its late sha

congratulations once again to all d brothers on the thread dt scaled through namely wandel,kenosky,kenosym,aniffy,pgm and all other peeps.

ur level of humility since receiving ur letters is quite commendable.

thanks also for all the encouragement.

men life goes on with or without nlng.make use of the opportunity nlng presents.i have d greatest faith in u guys

yesterday evening was a bit rowdy in some parts of abuja especially the areas leading to the National stadium.


this was because the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God was around for a special Holy Ghost service.

though i did not attend the theme of the night struck a cord in me.

It was entitled 'All must be well".it wasnt "all ought to be well" or "will all be well?" or "all be well now abeg".

it just implied that things really have no option.they just have to be well for pple who put their faith in God.so whatever happens,letsbe assured of our future.all must be well

opoks,pgm called u a great man.i sure cannot agree less.thanks for constantly reiterating the creed of a plan B.thank God for the so many i made.i am beginning to put more fire to them.u were not the one speaking (or writing ) then,it was d spirit of God speaking through u.life goes on men even if the letters end up not coming out,nathing mega.

tonbra,this waiting list that u guys have spoken about,what is it there for?

are they the candidates in the "2nd eleven" that can only be called in the event of one of the main players getting injured(which we sincerely dont pray for) or are people being called in batches ,hence this people would be called after this first batch has finished its medicals.

let us know abeg.ask ur contact.

kuwena my brother and friend,i have always seen myself as one who is above shedding tears but ur last post was something else.it almost made me shed tears at the cafe i am browsing.

in all things,we must praise God.i totally agree with u.

do u remember what St . Augustine once said "you have made us for yourself o God and our hearts are restless until they rest in you".

Let our hearts rest in God at this most trying period.in all things ,we are more than conquerors.

Kuwena,this is wishing u the best in ur training school. we trust u'd do this thread proud."kuwelo,one day i know say u go make us proud"

tommyex,no be me do am o.i just noticed dt after typing my posts yesterday and sending them,the name normanbrow would appear.the thing no funny o.its back to adrianic now sha,so no lele

runsaway,its never over until its over.i will lose hope on only one condition i.e when i put a call across to nlng and i am told categorically that i was not shortlisted.only then can i comfortably say its over.but until then ,nada.so girl,still keep hope alive.i forgot to mention that on the day i had my assessment one of the guys there(who works with zenith) said he called d nlng peeps to ask if he passed but the lady after checking the list told him his name was not there.he 'jejely' continued his zenith job.but to his greatest surprise his sister called him two days later while he was at work dt he had a letter from nlng.so girl even the so called human resources personnel are not above mistakes.its never over until its over.

pgm,my brother.Congratulations.God has done it for u.i am happy for u.no be small thing o

okoroboy,calling fedex or nlng isnt a bad idea but i would suggest chilling out till monday.at least we would be sure dt a full working week has gone by.fedex, as i said yesterday can be quite inept sometimes.i got my letter for the assessment almost 10 days after d first person got his.but if u dont get it by friday,then first thing monday morning would be a perfect time.

opoks,

nairalanders,indeed nigerians can like gist o.

since i posted the stuff on having one juicy gist concerning nlng,u cant imagine the number of mails and e-mail addresses i have got asking me to post the gist to their private mail boxes.

some from former regular posters with their sign-on names and others from planet mars.

it only goes to confirm the number of persons who are 'tuned in' to this thread on a daily basis taking all the info they can while claiming to be busy and bluntly refusing to post.

so na so d thing be ehn.

gist koo,gist nii.

uche,

u never call d lady yet.

or was she only 'posting ' u.or rather ,were u only 'posting us'?

i had expected dt if d letters had been truly sent out,at least one soul would have come here to sing his victory or lamentation song.

or was dt a stunt to stop opoks from taking his well deserved shot at thought.

uche men,

u sound so excited.

i hope i can get as excited as u are.

these guys have kept us waiting for so long dt we dont even know what to believe again.

well as for me,till i get the first authoritative report of someone having collected or recieved his or her letter,like Thomas in the Bible i refuse to believe.

opoks,remember the end of september.one person called adeyemisa came here and told us dt God told him that our letters would start coming from the fifth or sixth of october.today is d third of november.does God lie?does He give a definite date and rescind it in the twinkle of an eye especially when all His children are in full expectation and none is calling on Him not to do it.my happiness lies in the fact God is not sango,ogun,amadioha or these other gods who strike their followers for even the whitest lie.when will pple learn dt God is not man and His words(when truly heard) must surely come to pass.adeyemisa ,pleas be kind enough to tell us if God has reneged on what he told u.

thought,

i have had my own beef with two great  original men(opoks and okoroboy) who came to face me at day time when i could reply them and not like a thief in the night  after retirement.

u are a very small fry.

i will leave u to opoks.he is enough for u.coward

opoks,

the godfather,u are really back.

within three days of your coming back,the thread has moved two pages.

and all with original pieces not some 'cut and join ' abi na 'cut and paste' articles from cowards.

my guy don begin fear fear.

u retired on october 16 at exactly 8.49 p.m. mr thought abi na thoughtless woke up from sleep  on october 17th at exactly 3.50a.m to paste his beef article(after keeping a beef since d 28th of august when u joined the thread).

go back to page 54 and check out the timing.

and we all claim to be leaders.

opoks,

the house of representatives has a new speaker.

he is jimoh Bankole,a 37 year old Bachelor who is a 'two-termer in the house'.

dt guy is in trouble.naija chics no go let am hear word again.i am sure abuja will have an influx of creamy chics now coming to try their luck at being the fourth lady of the federation.

u know in the hierarchy or order of protocol,the speaker is the fourth person so his wife should be 'fourth lady'.

so all d unmarried nigerian opekes ,over to u.i forgot to add dt the guy was described as a detribalised nigerian(tho all politicians claim to be)

pgm,my brother and friend.

as far as i am concerned u kept the thread alive.

ur posts have, as always, been illuminating and funny.how nnpc.

jill,

something tells me u still constantly read this thread but like me u are on a sabbatical.

i have never hidden my love for ur style of writing and i miss it so much.

please come back and just drop something(all those efulefu's who are fond of saying 'dont beg anybody' please steer clear)

i am sure u are as tired of the waiting as most peeps are but still drop in and give us the poems,info et al

howz work

while reading the thread sometime last week i felt a need to check the statistics and it dawned on me dt we had over 33,000 people reading this thread on that day.

definitely not all of them are waiting with us for nlng.

but i can circumvent a guess.at least nothing less than a 100 hopefuls read this thread on a daily basis.

why then is it dt only less dn 10 contribute regularly.people come here to get info on the recruitment process and when they are opportuned to get info they keep it to themselves.

i cannot help but imagine how many hopefuls would have been able to survive the wait had it not been for this thread.at a stage here in abuja,there was this rumour that nlng had already finished its selection and had indeed called the successful ones.i remembered rushing like a mad man to the cafe knowing dt i would get authentic info from here.

i have always strongly believed that it is virtually impossible for someone on this thread not to be chosen and i am also sure the good news would be broken here by successful peeps.

that goes to show the power of the thread.

it is pure selfishness for people to visit the thread regularly ,enjoy the materials from the minds of a few persons and refuse to do same.

it even seems d moment some peeps are welcomed ,they take to their heels.welcoming people into a gathering is usually to show unity and encourage them to participate in the activities of the group.dt rule is observed more in the breach here.

for those who post regularly,keep it up.i have a very 'wicked' info to share that would interest u all as it relates to nlng.pls send me ur e-mail addy and ur nairaland 'name'.my e-mail addy is drian16@yahoo.com.
