Your. 1st, 2nd and third generations are those you referred to as u put it.

As long as the process is not in conflict with any laid down norms of recruitment, there is no way it will be affected by change in/of leadership.

Whether Buhari or GEJ, NLNG is a conglomerate that will recruit weda it is democracy, theocracy, militancy, militocracy or sentimentocracy! A recruitment process doesn't just gets cancelled like that, especially when it has reached 70% or stage 3.

Yes, there are factors that could be of great concern, especially if there are political naivety, insensitive, financial crisis, instability or unconditional short on cash, production or market development, this would have been a better argument rather than the PDP/APC brouhaha.

Fellow colleagues in waiting, let's be prayerful please, whatever the outcome, it is better we have a greater Nigeria for the common man than to have a job that could crumble for mismanagement, misrepresentation or misdirection of a government.

I still stand by the principle of rectification! This English is becoming so unpopular, let's go preserve it for the intended interviews. Now, its time to put logic before negation and brainstorm on how we can collectively be judicious to scale through the panel.

Ask questions, give answers, raise issues, burn problems to ashes!!! Someone got to take the lead please.

I am 100% sure Prelinctus was being sarcastic.

LOL

prelinctus:
The way all of you are attacking dapsy06, I think I might have to take sides. He has actually given examples to buttress his point yet you're all proving to be stubborn. Dapsy06, ride on. They are nowhere near your level.

Prelinctus! I believe as an intellectual you should know that just because you saw an example on the web doesn't in anyway makes it a reference point, people have all over, and they could upload anything, but why can't you just assist by verifying urself if there is anything like 'chosed' in contemporary english?

I am happy we have some language gurus here who could help us panel-beat in whichever direction to justify or rather rectify such a claim that 'chosed' is an indicative, subjunctive or conditional perfect tense.

These where the examples given by Dapsy06.

Again, this is not about levels. Both you n Dapsy06 perhaps are onto a higher level, but dat doesn't in anyway mean you guys are over/above correspondence or corrections.

Please lets discuss as one united Kingdom here! It shall all be well in the end.

Just a few examples to help u.

Labour have apparently chosed Chris Ostrowski to be their candidate in Norwich North.

In a move that drew scant attention -- unlike the selection of Rick Warren to give the inaugural invocation -- Barack Obama has chosed Sharon Watkins, head of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ, to deliver the sermon at a national prayer service the day after the inauguration.

As people mention the 18 million voters for Clinton, how about the rest of the voters who chosed the other candidate?

You can research for more online if you wish.

Sorry don't feel offended but kindly extend ur research to a higher level, 'Chosed' is not in any form definitive. Even where you got those examples stated clearly 'chosed' is not in anyway a perfect tense for choose, chose or chosen.

Gudnyt bro!

dapsy06:
Be smart bro, I didn't have to reply that. You don't need common sense to tell you that it's an nnpc interview, nnpc classifies them as a subsidiary. Therefore when faced with such a question, you list them as such. The day you go for hyson interview you can tell them they are partners with nnpc. Got the msg dumb?

Wonderful, I guess you must be sleepy! That message again wasn't yours! Pls lets not make it rusty d cordial relationship we share here! I respect you and ur sense of humour. Goodnight

[quote author=dapsy06 post=31627517]@ Badema, only God is supernatural. Not even in my biggest dreams will I claim to be one. I learn everyday and will not stop learning till I die. However, I know my equals and I also know my mentors so pls don't drag me into another issue.


OK.

dapsy06:
My brother or is it sis, I'm very gracious in defeat and would gladly accept when I'm wrong. You just referred to the present, past and past participle of choose. Run down through your note on tenses and you would find what we call a perfect tense.

Well said! By the way am Male.

On a quick one, weda indicative, subjunctive or conditional, there is not a perfect tense as 'chosed' weda as a future perfect tense, present perfect, continous perfect, imperfect or pluperfect tense.

I see no reason why you would be so mean! We meet to path as we can path to meet once more, it's just some guys sharing here! Dats all.

babacha:
Proving nothing upon nothing. Fed govt is to contribute a certain % and also share profit according to the % which the contribut, den of wat benefit is it to federal govt dat own the crude oil? A case study I will give u to read about is the otakikpo maginal oil field, find out if federal govt is contributing to that project and the % which lekoil who financing the project has in dat Field. U don't need to speak grammer to proof point

You conspicuously avoided as if suffering from myopia to see clearly that Hyson sees itself as a partner to NNPC even if you claim otherwise.

UGLYS:
The Msc fella can't be corrected. Chosed is cool

LOL!!! Age is not a sign of maturity and youthfulness is not a sign of innovation. We are humans ooo! I am not supernatural, perhaps the MSc fella is!

dapsy06:
Thanks but chosed is a perfect tense for chose. I know what I wrote.

Accept it whenever you are corrected.

Choose-Chose-Chosen

The word you referred to 'chosed' didn't scale even Thesaurus dictionary.

Pls accept n move on, we all make mistakes as humans.

I guess even if NNPC sees itself as having 'Hyson' as a subsidiary, on the other hand, Hyson sees NNPC as a partner.

I believe we should move on to other topics that would be more beneficial rather than being argumentative.

Let's try to discuss functionalities, organograms, present-day scenarios that may likely come up in an interview, group discussions or even presentations.

Eruditor, Sombaby I put u guys on d lead here!

babacha:
Hyson and duke are not JV, they are pure subsidiary of nnpc, Hyson represent nnpc in trading off excess grude oil and petroleum products in nigeria while duke represent nnpc in the internation market, that is why their office is in pagama. Both are subsidiary just like WRPC and others. For ur information, nnpc own 60% shares in any E & P company in nigeria be it multinational or indigenous

Well you didnt care to indicate which of the two has its office at 'Pagama' as you clearly referred "that is why THEIR Office is in pagama", adding "both are subs...." in ur next sentence.
Thanks for the update on E&P.

First of all, Nigerians, graduates of Nigerian universities and all those that understand ordinary Nigerian behaviour understand the academic concept of "BACK TO SENDER" and this implies that once NNPC has written on their legal website that HYSON and DUKE OIL are subsidiaries of NNPC, then they are Subsidiaries of NNPC whether they really are or not. Therefore any one that thinks otherwise better be ready to prove it beyond doubt if asked while increasing the risks of failing the interview.

Well I didn't actually sent it to you, let alone u sending it back, if u care todo some digging, u will come up with a mindset regarding subsidiary-JVC relationship n how both can mean either way, I was at Hyson for a couple of months, I hv read all n heard all d basics right from 1989 to recent days. If u take hyson to be a subsidiary, yes I would accept but only when you refer to that as not 'wholly-owned' by NNPC, which practically gives room for a JVC arrangement.

And yes, of course Hyson is a JVC, MD n EDS from NNPC, EDO from Vitol. Kindly feel free to avail urself at the Pent house, Ceddi plaza, CBD. For verification and re-affirmation.

babacha:

Sorry but HYSON has its head office in Abuja @ Ceddi plaza, its a JV between NNPC nd Vitol (Mansel n Algasco), NNPC's interest is represented abroad as Calson Bermuda operating mainly in Europe, NNPC Secondee staff holds d positions of MD and EDS while Vitol Holds d position of an EDO, so with utmost conviction its a JVC

And again pls try n verify ur facts, cos not in all corporations NNPC owns above 60%, e.g NLNG, NigerMED etc

Switlife:
I reckon that. My puzzle now is, why are such JVs (Duke, Hyson) listed as subsidiaries in the NNPC website Maybe the site needs tinkering.

Yea any JV mentioned as a subsidiary means, NNPC owns slightly below or more than 50% of the shareholdings. Hence companies like HYSON, NLNG, NIDAS mentioned as subsidiaries

Switlife:
According to NNPC website they include;
DUKE Oil*
HYSON*
IDSL
KRPC
NETCO
NGC
NPDC
NAPIMS
PHRC
PPMC
WRPC
NNPC Retail
NNPC Pensions Limited

I'm yet to fully undestand the first two (with asterisk). Hope this helps you. Cheers.

DUKE Oil, HYSON, NigerMED, NapOil, Calson Bermuda etc are Joint Venture companies with NNPC, not wholly owned by NNPC

softrise:
tell them but pls do NNPC accept NABTEB as O'level cert?

Yes NABTEB is NECO's equivalent if I am not mistaken, they are all considered as 'SSCE' alongside WAEC, GCE etc, and besides it was dsame NABTEB U used am sure to gain post-secondary education.

When people fail to realise how important it is to heed to advise, they may end up facing hurdles and in the end realise it was a costly mistake. 'if/when the centre can't hold, things fall apart'.

Eruditor:
Awwwww. Let me tell you how non-desperate I am: I already have my 2 Text messages seating executive in one of my phones. I can afford to stay ahome for 4.5 more years and I'd still not have exceeded NNPCs age limit. I have an AC with NLNG coming up sometime after the elections. On the 12th of February, my friends had to beg me to attend an interview with a company that attached 'Petroleum' to their nomenclature. So prattle on and humor yourself and a few other "false-hope seekers".

Can I indulge you on my definition of a desperado? Someone who is 31, throwing tantrums like he is 14, asking if Business Admin candidates have received Texts, When that fails (because many did receive) he changes his askometer to 'those from Kogi' and later to those who wrote in Port-Harcourt as he keeps running from Pillar to Post looking for a new criteria to keep his false dreams alive.

I wish I could console you but I can't. This is the real world. Alice in wonderland started in Walt Disney's mind and ended on TV. If you understood my last statement, you'd have received an sms on the 18th of February.

#MakeofThatWhatYouWillOldFool

Bro! I think you don't have to abuse him, 'old fool' is a little bit invective, I would rather advice we all keep praying, in the end it doesn't matter which side of the coin faces up! Pls lets make our country great again by staying calm as we wait.

It is important that we continue to pray to God almighty as we wait for yet another Quarter, we pray it shall come to pass and we will be successful in the end.

Alhamdulillah! I got a success SMS too! Wrote in KD, applied as GT. Congratulations to all, I pray others receive SMS too.

Simeon Onyemeachi was our Headboy at Federal Government College kwali Abuja 2002 set. One of the few hardworking Nigerians of our generation. Wishing you a Happy Married Life

PDP’s troubles insurmountable - ACF chieftain

Category: Sunday politics Published on Sunday, 09 November 2014 05:00 Written by Ibraheem Hamza Muhammad Hits: 161

Alhaji Saleh Gacha Bade is a chieftain of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), three-time senatorial candidate and a former member of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) during late Sani Abacha’s era. The former member of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) spoke on his recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Excerpts:
Why did you leave the PDP for the APC?
My reasons for dumping the PDP are so many. The PDP does not respect the rules of law. The reasons also include bad leadership, insincerity, dishonest and above all lack of cohesion. For instance, this government under the PDP breaks international laws as in the case of about $15 million scandal in South Africa. The party does not respect or obey even the Nigerian Constitution. You can consider the recent withdrawal of Hon. Speaker Aminu Tambuwal’s security details, and the 50 per cent reduction of Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s security details during the appointment of the Emir of Kano etc. The problem which the PDP is facing is insurmountable. The level of corruption has worsened the matter as most Nigerians don’t believe that the missing $20 Billion has not been siphoned or corruptly diverted.
Another issue is the allegation that N10 Billion was used to charter aircraft by the Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke, who has refused to be probed by the National Assembly. Even internationally, the world acknowledges that the present administration is highly corrupt.
Don’t you think that the PDP government under President Goodluck Jonathan is doing well in the fight against insecurity?
That is the worst aspect of this administration. We have over 150,000 soldiers, but few insurgents have taken away substantial parts of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. The occupied territories include Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Michika, Mubi, Buni Yadi, Nafada etc. The PDP has failed Nigerians. We need change. Apart from its failure to tackle the insecurity, there is lack of infrastructural development, high level of unemployment, and gross indiscipline. The administration is dividing Nigerians along religious, ethnic and sectional differences. We really need change before it is too late.
You have declared support for Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso’s presidential aspiration. Why do you think he is the man to beat?
Kwankwaso is very honest and hardworking. He is fearless and open-minded. His performance in Kano is commendable. For instance, he has transformed Kano State to a modern state with so many infrastructural developments all over the state.
In his effort to develop educational sector, Kwankwaso sponsors over 3,000 children of less privilege people (talakawas) to abroad to study.
He has the courage and zeal to bring positive changes in Nigeria. He is not a religious bigot. He is not despotic. He is not a jingoist. Above all, he has cordial relationship with most of his colleagues’ governors, both in the PDP and the APC, including past governors, senators and members of the House of Representatives etc. This was confirmed during his declaration that was attended by 27 senators, 70 House of Representatives’ members, eight governors and the multitude of his supporters all over the country.
Definitely, Kwankwaso may have a courageous running mate as a “Winning Team” for APC 2015. Kwankwaso has the support of so many traditional rulers, retired generals all over the country. Even some PDP governors, including previous leaders and other prominent Nigerians will support him.
What will you do if Kwankawso fails to get the APC ticket?
If former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari or Sam Nda-Isaiah emerges the flag bearer of my party, I will do whatever it takes to render my support. I will be ready to serve under any committee of the presidential campaign as I did in strategy and planning committee for Buhari in 2007. Our main goal and objective is to have a change so that Nigeria will heave a sigh of relief. Change by God’s grace is inevitable as the case in other countries where leaders have failed.
Why did you declare similar support for Governor Ibrahim Geidam of Yobe State ahead of 2015 governorship election?
Governor Ibrahim Geidam has performed wonderfully well in terms of infrastructural development despite security challenges. For instance, there is a road which the PDP awarded its contract between Gashua and Yusufari. After paying mobilization fees, the project was abandoned for 12 years. Geidam has completed it within a short time. Similarly, township roads in Nguru, Gashua, Potiskum, Gaidam, Damaturu etc have been solidly constructed.
Also, his administratin has completed different housing projects. Many hospitals have been upgraded despite security challenges. He really deserves another tenure to enable him achieve his desired goal of transforming Yobe State from a poor and rural state to a modern and developed state.
What will you advise Nigerians in view of the forthcoming 2015 general elections?
Let’s all be law abiding citizens. We should respect the laws of our land, our constitution. Let’s be God fearing in all our dealings as one day we shall all account for our deeds. Both Muslims and Christians should imbibe the culture of brotherhood. God decides to place us in one country called Nigeria. Thus, let us team up to develop our country. We should not allow people to fool and throw us into chaos.

airsaylongcon: Comrades (Pardon the pun),
It is good to see everyone trying to give this thread a kick in the butt and get it going once again. Now we must know what it feels like to be in the Big brother house when the show is approaching the finale with the camaraderie gone and everyone just hanging around. Now we must act as a unit and push over the line. Truth be told, I am over the specified age by a couple of years but I swear down I am ready to dig in and fight with all my might. I may have deprived someone who is within the age limit and equally qualified but remember when "If you are good, you are good"was trending? I am not good but STRONGLY believe in practise practise practise; for this is the only way a boxer keeps his reflexes razor sharp.

So I beseech you all to chip in a little bit on how we can all make our AC. I have got an ebook "How to Succeed at an Assessment Centre" published by Kogan Page. If you are interested quote me. I will respond to all requests by 1700hrs today 11/08/2014. Requests beyond this date wont be answered o! Also @majekdom2, @sqlmaster and other top dawgs....me I am not good o so assistance is necessary

Thanks for assisting. Amismaly@yahoo.com

Alhamdulillah for the success! May Allah see us through. Amin

Pls Mr. Tadeus, how much will land infiniti fx35 2006 model from cotonou to lag?
