That boy that always comes First in his class whether his uncle buys him a gift or not, and doesn't complain to his uncle about his uncle's promise to buy him gift when he comes first in his class.

Junior the patient boy!
Junior the smart boy!!
Junior the first in his class always

naastyme:
Even after @Forkadict don put disclaimer for this code-racle ena still dey analyse? Kwantinyu...

Just to keep the thread alive and busy oo

epic5:
I think it is clear and easy though.
In the year of our Lord 1960 Nigeria gained her independence. 1960-2 implies our long awaited independence will be achieved in Q2.

Yea every permutation at this point holds water, I agree to that, Q2 is just days away! We will still be hopeful as always!

forkadict:
By the way, I thot the general concensus here is that folks are not interested in anything short of specific date for the rapture?

Chairman na condition dey mek cryfish bend ooo!

forkadict:
No wahala baby. Notin dey happen. U can trust me on that.

@All, it's official. It's now 1960-2.

I know it ain't easy cos I've treaded that path before. But please make the best use of the wait...

Oga Forkadict happy weekend oo
Wow so much permutations to that! Where are the gurus? Come help with this 1960-2 oo
60-2=58
69-2=67
96-2=94
61-2=59
91-2=89
19-2=17
90-2=88
196-2=194

Therefore (300,120,60) - (1960-2) = NLNG2016 recruitment

I no think say this one na maths oo!

freeradical:
Any meaningful discussion that is related to our course is welcomed my guy. It definitely will help ameliorate this boring wait (apologies to the move-on preachers) and also give the prospective employer a hint of the inherent value this current crop of GTs will offer when they come on board.

Aite, bring it on!

cashme28:
Can we discuss other topics other than this recruitment? e.g. the 'backyard' recruitment of family members of the current administration by CBN.

There is a thread dedicated for that I guess, we could as well move over there to do that!

Cashme28, dane15
boys abi Men no dey smile oo! Mek una finish all the analysis give us the statistics! Na just Logic and Negation, so we dey support 10/10. Weda 300, 120, 60 our own be say mek God mek us part of the list!

Anyway who has read about oil prices going up above 40USD today?

ladyF:
Hehehe....but is it not best to close the thread for now? It will help people that are trying to consciously move on, it's not like there has been any useful info here lately sef, with the parables that leave no clue whatsoever...

I agree Ma! But keeping in touch is the real game! We must keep the team alive.

Perhaps we start some convo that could calm nerves down. I really enjoy being part of this family!!!

forkadict:
Force ke? Force bawo? No be me o. May the Force be with you sha.


@All.
I should have come with this message looooong ago but I held back because of the potential counter attacks I was liable to once I went thru with delivering the message. I anticipate folks coming at me with lines like 'Forkadict, because you don manage enter now, you con dey tell us make we move on abi? Na so life be?' I could be accused of being inconsiderate, selfish and all that. It has happened before when I attempted informing yall about developments regarding your process thru codes. I heard lines like 'Forkadict that used to be part of us is now talking to us thru codes etc etc ' but still on still, I just feel the need to say this and i appeal to yall not to be cross with me.

First of all, it is just unnecessary and discourteous for anyone insulting and throwing all manner of vituperations at NLNG for the protracted recruitment process. I was affected as well but only that my wait was not as intense as yours. At least from the time I applied till when I resumed took 28 months. You guys are doing your 29th month if I am right. So guys this is coming from someone who has a practical experience of how excruciating the wait can be (in contrast some guys whose process went thru the normal circumstances) and I still share their sentiment by advising yall to please chill and cut the invectives.

I get really baffled when I hear people come with lines like 'my life has been put on hold by this process' how so? If anyone is like that then the person has himself strictly to blame for putting his life on hold and not NLNG. Do you have a certification to bag? Or an academic degree? Or marriage? You name it. Why not go ahead and anytime NLNG is ready to unfreeze this process and you are one of the lucky few, you simply decide whether you want to come on board or continue with your life as the case may be. And even if you decide to come on board, I don't know what programme you may be running that you can not put on hold and continue when you have eventually settled in at NLNG.

I have always said it and I still repeat that regarding your process, neither the son nor the angels knoweth but only the father. For all we know, the interview outcomes MAY even be communicated this month or later. Cos the eventual communication of interview outcomes does not necessarily translate to immediate resumption. There will still be another 6 months lag at least. So NLNG coming back to yall on interview outcomes this month and eventual resumption in 4th quarter or earlier is not a possibility to be ruled out.

Finally, this (and @Kaitung's last post) shouldn't mean that yall should abandon this thread. Let's still continue to commune and have fun on here like the end of this saga is tomorrow.

Still yours truly in this struggle,
Forkadict.

This is quite inspiring Oga Forkadict! I must say am impressed and inspired already, I trust over 70% of the traffic here will agree to all you've said.

I want to move for the total adoption of this motion! Can I pls hear someone support and say AMEN?!!!

ladyF:
`

Hahaha iron LadyF! You wan mek we go AWOL or MIA?

airsaylongcon:
At all... Thanks. I can't start delving into d specifics but it seems I've been headhunted. Apparently the CEO of big pond was very impressed with my experience that she felt I will best serve the bathtub that is struggling with their operations. Bathtub CEO was so keen for me to start immediately but I chose to "yet him" (post him) so that I don't come across as cheap/desperate. I know I will work with them but na how to free myself from current boss now na be d koko. Cos the guy will be stunned to d centre of his bone marrow

Hey! AIRSAYLongCon! Congratulations!!! Wishing you God's guidance and protection all through, soon NLNG will snatch you from them! Amen.

Hey hey Hello!
Guys I no fit shout abeg! E don do una like that! Mek una go rest, sun don reach 40 degrees today.

Upon seeing over 90 posts on this thread in few hours, I couldn't believe it, I thought we had closure! Only to see my Ogas flexing techno-muscles!

We just pray NLNG reach out to us all soon and positively!

Boys are not smiling!
Men are just watching!
Women are just laughing!
NLNG is just dribbling!

@kaitung compliments of the new month, @forkadict's welcome back!

@uchboggy i dey hail.

coolio2014:
He should have been asked to clarify, seeing as he said he was misconstrued and not lampooned.

Informer @tygrins proceed to clarify...

Which I did but 'the informer' ignored. so he/she had better say it or hold his/her peace forever! That would prevent any high tensions here.

kaitung:
It's a pity my earlier post was misconstrued for something else. I regret any inconveniences this must have caused YOU all.
There would therefore be a cessation of info given on this matter after this, to avoid a repeat of either wrong interpretation, incomplete understanding etc.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night(1 Thessalonians 5:2) KEEP ON THE WATCH
Never despair, it is soon, sooner than you expect.

SUCCESS ALL and see u all on the island soon.

Your reply is rather late, however we can accept it in good faith if only you could Crack the shell of that ambigious initial, Sequel to that, try not create more tensions please as some persons may not be able to bear but castigate or discombobulate your head tonight!

My fellow hopefuls, I think this is a time for positive interactions, let's all leave an indelible mark of hope and support for one another, let's all lay a solid foundation of hope for the common man through our Union here, regardless of admittance into NLNG (since it is pertinent to say not all will get it). Someone here may not get into NLNG and perhaps becomes Nigeria's President someday or DMD, NLNG through other source (NNPC).

There is no doubt we are all resilient and indifatigable in our own ways, we should please thread with caution, we may meet on our way down even after conflicts on our way up!

Remember they say 'The return of the clan, was not the end of the King'.

I pray we all achieve greatness someday and make Nigeria phenomenal among commity of Nations.

ladyF:
When I asked why they wanted to move, I was told because of the [b]increasing ren[/b]t, they didn't mention anything about space....perhaps they tweaked the info for different people/days maybe?

Yes very true and interesting! I think we should be mindful that one of the reasons they wanted leaving was because of increasing rent, therefore if your choice didn't meet their budget, you need some budget defence!

And I quiet agree with @airsaylongon, perhaps in any fact finding there aren't a wrong answer, your ability to prove why you stick to your choice matters most, if you have all the facts you 'think' you need, or if you still havent gotten enough facts just yet and you still claim to your choice.

dway4ward:
I'm sure you were the team leader during the group exercise. Na so......



Airsay, I feel you. You're referring to the giant within. Not all giants can manifest irrespective of conditions. Some need enabling environments and the eventual capacity will shock onlookers once they manifest.

Regarding the argument of public or private schools being better, it's not a given that either is better. They empower you with different skills, relevant to survival. Just appreciate whichever system you passed through, and be grateful you're one of the success stories from such systems.

#truetalk THE WAY FORWARD

airsaylongcon:
The emphasis in most Nigerian Schools (public and private) seems to be verbatim copying of whatever the instructor dictates in class which IMHO is wrong. I had several running battles with different lecturers in school because I failed to regurgitate what was given in class. I had a Mathematics Professor that insisted that I write word for word what he had integrated! The emphasis for me is learning. The school is only shows you the road, the real process of learning can only occur IF you walk down that road by yourself. In my first year in school I had a conversation with final year students and was stunned to hear computer science students saying "I don't like programming". In my head I was like is't that like a doc saying "I dont like blood"? I learnt programming in secondary school when I was barred from entering the computer lap cos i didn't know how to use a computer. That day I went to the Library and (God forgive me) stole a computer book in the hopes that it will teach me how to use the computer. Turned out that it was a book about programming a text-based gaming. I got hooked.

Bottom line is whether public or private WHEN YOU ARE GOOD YOU ARE GOOD. A lizard cannot leave Nigeria and become an alligator in the UK

I guess we are now on the same page! Perhaps of different text books, in the end all that matters is passing WAEC in SS3, not coming 1st in ur class from JS1 to SS2.

airsaylongcon:
Does quantity dictate quality? Nigeria probably has 10times the population of Japan yet Japan is "superior" to Nigeria. Heck China has a population 100 times more than Japan and only in the last 30years have they managed to catch up.

Most public uni grads have the misconception that cos they've studied in tough conditions they are superior believing that in" softer" conditions they will do better. But is this really true?

Outrightly, Quality outwieghts Quantity in any respect, except when it comes to food for a hungry man!

Yes Private schools in general are expected to have better and equipped facilities in place, especially in Nigeria as a case study, but on the other hand, the state of the art facilities you find in some public universities, the qualified consultants and professors, the quantum of all important books, documents, journals, needs assessments you find lying down in libraries of these public universities, the commitment of some very serious students and some factors would keep one thinking if public school are not better than private. But for our non-PPM strategy, these factors do not necessarily result into any KPIs in the end.

So I rest my case.

airsaylongcon:
Random thoughts

Why do graduates of public uni believe they are academically superior to private uni grads?

Why is the rate of "Michael Jackson effect" amongst ladies very high these days?

Perhaps cos Public Universities have 200 times the population of Privates', another issue could be the number of consultancy services; professors, courses, failures, passes, attendee certificates, dilapidated structures, faculties n departments, over streched laboratories, outdated cataloguing, unionism, landmass etc. in public unis are way wider than any known private.

All these aside, I quite agree Public Unis are academically superior to thier 'secondary school' setting private universities, (no offence to those who attended private unions)

freeradical:
Hehehe my brother we still dey prayer the prayer....congrats on the due course mail...we were on the same floor on June 16th at nicon. The hope is still alive bro. Any word from the other guys.

Yesso! Mek we just continue dey pray berekete! Cos Na prayers carry us come this stage oo! U go fear!

Yeah I heard from a few, June 16th was quite a nice meeting! God's willing we shall make it!

artmedia:
Not to sound like a spoilsport though, but definitely those of us that got the 'in due course' email are just those that passed the AC cut-off. Forget all the talk about them not wanting to make a commitment. The people that passed this AC are more than the amount that they had initially wanted to pick (about 120 before they then wanted to reduce the no), and yes some of us sadly will still be let go. If it's any consolation, at least we know we were successful at the AC. Some sorta morale booster that is.

Anyway, let's just keep our minds open. Good thing is that we knw our odds have largely increased and our chances of joining @Forkadict are better, bad thing is that we dont know how long this carefully-crafted 'in due course' will be. All is well IJN. Amen.

#OneStepCloser...
#WeWait...
#Shalom...

Indeed true! Either way, we should all keep praying for the best. God has several ways of giving us His blessings. 'Water is for survival as Prayer is for salvation'. Chairman lets just drink plenty water and prayer hard.

ItsTime4me:
Yes, keep an open mind. That's the spirit. However, I am sure those that got the 'going mail' are the successful ones. Afterall, what prevents them from saying that one is unsuccessful when he really is. Those guys are at a cross road. Yes, those that got mail are qualified to work with us, but how many of them do we absorb, considering the situation of things? Ok, why don't we wait till so and so time till things will improve? Alright, until then, let's inform them that the process is ongoing without any form of commiitment. That is the situation I think. Remember, the mail says: 'with reference to your participation in AC'.

I quite agree with this analysis. We just pray and hope things get better with respect to Global crude price and political/economic stability.

ladyF:
It's best if you guys keep an open mind still. As far as I'm concerned, NLNG didn't do anybody anybody any good by sending out "recruitment is still ongoing", I mean, we all know/knew the recruitment is/wasn't finished yet, none of us needed a reminder for that.

Interpreting it as a success mail will be a sorry case of counting ones chickens before they hatch. What stopped them from making it less ambiguous? Maybe they should have even sent a blank mail...it's almost the same thing!!!!!!

Anyway sha...Happy New Work to Forkadict and Happy New Month to everyone.

Exactly! Twas why I said 'Perhaps' and 'that's my prayer'. Anyway we are all open minded, at this point we can't even argue if NLNG meant 'Successful or Awaiting list' as far as the mail is concern. I am however still optimistic; my prayers!

airsaylongcon:
Everytime I pull out, I get pulled back in. Ok anti-corruption as practiced by my President and Commander in Chief President Muhammadu Buhari s NOT populist. I concur.

Meanwhile as Oliver Twist wey I be has anyone critically scrutinised the email from Bonny? The wordings of the email notifying us that recruitment is ongoing is very vague O. What does "due course" mean in pidgin? Na like dis we go dey dey? Until 100 o'clock?

Oliver Twist! 'Due course' Perhaps mean you are SUCCESSFUL and NLNG will call you for Medicals any moment for Monday (mind you any monday oo). Thats my prayers for 'due course'

airsaylongcon:
Develop a TOR after the so-called fight has begun? That's like saying your salary will be discussed after you start work. Get it right I'm NOT against anti-corruption. I'm against selective populist anti-corruption.

Airsaylongcon! I respect you a lot as a Technoprenuer that you are, but clearly, not when it comes to political arithematic, how can you say 'selective populist anti-corruption' war when clearly people from all works of life are begining to join the EFCC bandwagon?

A politically motivated instructions cannot be gainsaid in any democracy around the world, but clearly the fight against corruption as it currently stands is far from being Selective, antagonist, nepotist or malappropriate in the view of the majority.

Nevertheless, the saying in politics goes;The minority will should have their say, but the majority will always have their way

airsaylongcon:
Kemi is still a novice and I can tolerate that. How about the Chief liar of Nigeria?

Let us seperate victimisation from corruption. Amaechi was indicted by a panel of enquiry in Rivers State. What did APC do about it? Throw it under the carpet. One must not only be seen to be fighting corruption as evidenced by the numerous arrests and humiliation of PDP members, one must also actually fight corruption by uprooting the witch within. The Yorùbá have a proverb wọn sọ wípé kòkòrò tòun je ẹ̀fọ́ abẹ ẹ̀fọ́ ló wà. (The pest ruining the vegetable can be found within the vegetable).

Errrhmmm! Lemme just come in here, speaking about numerous arrests; Sen. Yerima, Brig. Gen. Jafaru Isa, Gov.Murtala Nyako, Alh. Aminu Baba Kusa are clearly not PDP card carrying members but yet under EFCC investigation currently.

Brother, I think sincerely speaking the fight on corruption has to start from somewhere, let's just all agree we need corruption out of our system, then we can develop a TOR later.

Crr7:
Cutting OPEC's output alone wouldn't amount to much if major non-OPEC producers (Russia) continues with its output. While Saudi is battle ready for the current prices, other members such as Nigeria & Venezuela are feeling the heat. OPEC is now trying to cooperate with Russia on a possible deal and it was the 'positive' response from the Russian Oil Minister that pushed up prices during the week.

The speculations, forecast & predictions continues and only time will tell.

Meanwhile, the linkage between crude oil and LNG prices I about 70% (said Mr Babs during a Senate hearing last week). The rise or fall of crude prices does not immediately affect LNG prices, it however does in the long run.

My question is, is it oil prices that is holding NLNG from concluding this recruitment or something else?

Happy weekend!

Quite true, LNG prices are index at a percentage to a 6 month old Crude price, it is likely that even if crude prices rise after a new price is set, it will take another 6 months to be effective. This can as well be a reason to painstakingly delay the recruitment process, however, it is my firm believe that the process will reach to a logical conclusion soon, as there are feelers crude prices will go up in weeks.
