I got a reliable information that the Ph folks are being called this late because of the rivers state elections. They even carried out the non-Nigerian interviews before coming back to send invite yesterday for candidates that wrote in Ph.
Although the interview venue is scheduled for Uyo.

Exxon has started inviting successful second stage applicants for the final interview. This is for experienced applicants. I've just received my invitation..

Congratulations brother. You are definitely a professional & understand the tenets of job interview process as evidenced by your mature posts on here. All the best. I reckon it would be a meeting with the departmental head.

Cheers.

Some might liken most comments on here as that initial feverish state of the jittery rookie!

It's a phase though. Until we learn to remain calm and keep working on our skills be it testing (for graduates/entry-level seekers), interview skills (entry-level and Experienced hires), we may never get to be in these big companies.

Harping on about application change dates & other frivolities as seen here, does no good.

Let us access ourselves. Learn to understand the things you know and the things you do not know; and seek to bridge the gap.

If you wrote the test (graduate test) and you are a good assessor of yourself, then to an extent you ll know if you did very well or not. Next step would be to start practicing for your interview & documenting same in a notebook. Even if it turns out you were not successful at this time, no learning is lost. But you are better off because you already got a refresher on interviewing. Next job opening will make you have a better advantage.

For the experience hires, clearly most are not posting because these paths have long been treaded. Positivity and focus on current job role is key. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, on to the next. However not without an in-depth assessment of what you could have done better be it at the interview or test stage.

Frivolous posts here and there about hearsays and needless conjectures does no one any good.

I say this not as a preacher or a lecturer, but as a lad that has toed this path before. I know what I am talking about too. And for those that would want to take a swipe at me, you are welcome too. Only thing is your realization of this truth will simply come later in life. But sure thing is that it will come.

Una well done.!

depends on where you are. It's easier if you are outside Lagos doing it, coz the guys quickly do all the needed verification for you. Plus your address must also be from the state you are applying from. This way it is easy for the NDLEA officer to go confirm your house location etc. I did mine in Rivers state.
Don't know about Lag or other states, but I heard because of the crowd and stuff in Lagos, the backlog is kinda much because they haven't gone to confirm several house addresses and bank statements etc. Application in Lagos is much that's why. So see if you can apply from your home town or so where there is less traffic in that state's NDLEA branch office.

This is my advice. A complete application is one that has fulfilled all the requirements and the NDLEA officer has also confirmed every thing, then it is ready to be processed and signed by the DG. So if it is completed for example in Ibadan or Kogi state by the NDLEA branch office, when it gets to the headquarters (Lagos), all that needs to be done is to be signed by the DG.

Hope this helps.

Hey ,please can you help me, with this ndlea ,how do I reach you ?

Hi, how can I help bro? If you v submitted ur documents get the number of the person u submitted to or anyone in the office and follow up with calls. Tip him so that he calls regularly to ensure ur file is quickly treated. That's mainly it sha, normally it shou take about 22 days to a month to get it processed. Although the guy mentioned that there is so much application for Malaysian Ndlea cert. Hence there are numerous files. This means that it's the guys that tip well that have their files being taken from under and placed on top. Naija wahala. Good luck bro

I v finally got my Ndlea certificate. About 24 days after. With good PR and follow up with the guys handling it.
Of course, a lil bit of Palm greasing as well. But before all of that, all the requirements must first be met. Cheers!

I saw this and took a screenshot for prospective students or anyone intending to use his/her ATM card in malaysia.
Anyone using any of this stated banks in Malaysia can confirm.

Yeah bro, most banks have discontinued usage of naira MasterCards for Atm withdrawals outside Nigeria. So one has to open for a dorm account now.

Quite sad and inconveniencing for decent Nigerians already in foreig lands

Quick one for guys that recently gained access to Malaysia on a social Visa, do they require physical cash at the airport ? What if u have ur atm card? Coz ppl say that they harass ppl for physical cash availability,and if u don't have on u, you may not be granted entry. Is this true plz? Thanks .

While I m seeking info and requirements for the ndlea cert, please can someone advise me on where to get an original Yellow fever certificate. (If possible a screenshot of a copy might help. So that I ll know the real one when I see it). I am currently in ph at the moment though, so anyone that can direct me to a genuine place where I can get it,and how much it costs, I ll deeply appreciate. I had one before but now I m seeing stories abou there being a new one with secur features, I m confused. So better I go get a recent and genuine one just to be on the safe side. Thanks folks

Got my visa on Friday, I made me understand even if u have been to Malaysia 100 times before, as long as u are coming back to for to apply for diploma, then u would need it, I will advise peeps to just apply to a uni instead of diploma, it would make ur visa processing easier
Bro, so u got the ndlea cert? How long did it take u to obtain it?
Travel / Re: Ask Me Anything About Malaysia And I'll Give You A First Hand Information by areolae: 1:15pm On Sep 22, 2016
I called to ask them if I need the ndlea cert since I v previously been to SA, she asked if I v been to other European countries or US or Asian countries. I said No. Then she said I would need the ndlea cert. I told her but your site says that one doesn't need it if you have travelled outside West Africa, then she replied by saying 'Send us an email requesting for visa information and we would reply you via mail'.

Sent the mail, they didn't reply. Been 1week now.

Na Wa o!

If You've traveled out of West Africa, you wont need the NDLEA clearance eg If you've traveled to South, Kenya, Tanzania, UAE , US, Europe, Uk etc.

@ifyalways, thanks for ur response. i v been to SA before only. But i'm just kinda scared that these ppl can still be funny with their requirements and still say it's required since SA is still Africa, even though it ain't West Africa. Do u have any personal experience on this?

Thanks.

And thanks to the other peeps that also answered my query.

I think this is very straightforward; meanwhile, by implication, if this is the first time you will be traveling to a non-African country/nation, then you will need the NDLEA visa clearance certificate.

So if one has previously travelled out of Africa, we don't need it then? Are you certain about this!?

@ Areolae getting a social visa might be difficult with all the documents needed, but please and please for your safety don't give any travel agent your passport in Nigeria to process Malaysian social visa for you. Whatever the stress face it yourself in the Malaysian Embassy. Travel Agents in Nigerian are issuing FAKE visa stamp that even come with receipts.

Thanks @youngbilly1, i would endeavor not to use agents. But how does one explain this NDLEA cert for first time travelers outside West Africa. Can one that has recently travelled to Malaysia on a social Visa kindly really explain this as i have the other documentations needed.

9. Original and copy of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Certificate (for all first time traveller to countries outside West Africa);

Hello guys, please this one i'm seeing all these NDLEA certificate stuff now, please I am travelling to Malaysia for a social visit and intend to obtain a social visa. A total of 5 days with my return ticket. Would I be denied visa if i don't do the NDLEA thing? I am just hearing about it even and it's not on the visa requirement documentations as listed on the immigration site. Please someone kindly clarify. Do i need it for a 5 day visit? Thanks.

Guys any news on this program. it has exceeded the mentioned time. But my HR status reads "Reviewed" and the job status still reads "OPEN" which probably means the role is still open.

Any updates from anyone's application status?
