ShittimPeter:
I do not support the hash tag campaign on twitter as well. To what end will that be? The process is still on going.

Someone suggested tagging "influencers" from opposition, Are they not our common enemy? No politician or an influential person is a savior of the common man.

If we don't want this recruitment to slip out of our hand, I believe we don't need any campaign right now. Let's give it time.

I am compelled to agree with you on this. Eventhough I would have wanted to have any sort of official update from NNPC concerning the recruitment exercise but making noise about it on twitter will only provide leverage for some rabble rousers looking for every opportunity to politicise an issue or to blast the FG, to hijack the idea and make a mess of the whole thing.

Someone even said we should desist from using certain hashtags like #NNPCScam, please how do you intend to stop thousands of twitter users from airing their "biases"? Trust me some people who didn't even know that NNPC conducted an exercise before now will seize the opportunity to haul insults @MKKyari.

Recall the anti-Xenophobic protest started as a peaceful protest organised by decent Nigerians until the hoodlums hijacked it and it became a criminal activity.

My advise is that we tread carefully as it is still too early to throw caution to the wind, let's still keep exploiting the official communication channels provided by NNPC and hope that they respond.

My 2 kobo.

Obasi001:
Gentlemen and Ladies,

Requesting for a status update of the ongoing recruitment exercise is a great idea but I'll beg us to be civilized in our approach. The hash tag '#Nnpcnascam' and other statements in that neighborhood are too rash and confrontational, it might misconstrue our original intent thereby causing more harm than good. #Nnpc recruitment 2019, #NnpcWeAreStillWaiting, #NnpcHowfar and other polite suggestions from members of this great house will be more preferable.
Above all remain positive, good will surely triumph.

I pray the pessimists listen to you

[b]Nigeria has been recklessly kind to many who hate it today. Some obtained 5yrs Degree at Ife for a cumulative tuition of less than N500K at govt expense, but got to US after paying up $20,000 sourced at govt rate for just 18months Masters, to start condemning Nigeria from Abroad.

In over 10yrs, this useless country has provided an average of $2Billion forex every year for tuition fees abroad. Some of them, their parents earned their tuition from govt payroll, lived in official quarters and drove govt cars. All from whats left that politicians didnt steal.

When @AishaYesufu studied Medicine, the money paid for her tuition is an amount close to cowries in today's Naira. If she was born in UK, with that pittance, she'd barely be educated enough to insult Boris Johnson. She'd perhaps will be a farm hand, milking cows in rural Luton.

We spend few hours at Madison Square then become saner climes comparator. At a point we started using Rwanda to demean Nigeria. Why cant @BudgITng go and @TrackaNG Kagame's project and see what will happen. Who can accuse him of human right abuses when his critics just vanish?

#NigeriaAt59 have supported our excesses. It provided for looters. It provided money we've been using to eat foreign rice. Nobody knew this useless country was carrying the entire sub-Sahara on its back. FG closed border and Urea fertiliser climbed almost 200% across west Africa.

A friend told me GTB's Gambia branch is more or less Gambia's Central Bank. GTB closing that branch is enough to plunge the region into an economy crisis. Many of our banks leverage on their in-country assets to syndicate foreign loans for Uganda, Cote d'ivoire and many others.

A pharmaceutical company has paracetamol & cough syrup worth ~N500Million heading for the borders, when twas shut. #NigeriaAt59 isn't yet where it should be, but many condemn it from a standpoint of inferiority complex. Stop projecting your low self esteem as that of the nation![/b]

Please don't derail the thread!

This argument is like a bottomless pit, if we indulge in it, another 1000 pages will not even come close to the end of it.

naijatruth2019:
What if things turn around tomorrow, should I send a strong curse to you? you think I am a toy that you will talk to anyhow or say things anyhow? Please don't get me angry!! that I said wait till tomorrow!! If you doubt me, please face your business.

If I have a Source and things work out, fine, if things happen otherwise, I have passed my information. Do you even know why I have been confident about my information? Or you think I am that cheap to be looking for cheap troll or fame that will perish on earth......

Which source has worked here?? none!!. I said wait for this Source till tomorrow, then you can move on if otherwise... I know why I am banking on my Source.

Please I didn't come here to be childish...

Ghen Ghen! Truthsy don provoke.

Las las the much dreaded "clause" is beginning to sneak its way into the comment.

trilobite:
So it has gotten to the point of protests now?!! my goodness!!!

Seeing the efforts of you guys who still believe in the system brings tears to my eyes.

I pray our kids have the same belief.

Same kids that are already trolls and savages, those are the people you just want to start praying for? Anyway, I join you in prayers, what can local man do but to pray.

Just less than 24hrs to go, after that, if the source is not @MKKyari himself, just keep it to yourself. Let us wait in peace.


#NEXTWEEKTHEORY till the APL cock crows.

olaidefat:
Coca Cola Hellenic!

Oh my apologies. I forgot CHC bought over NBC.

I guess most Anti-Xenophobic Nigerian protesters didn't know that Nigerian Bottling Coy is a South African owned company since 2010.

olaidefat:
Number 1 brand worldwide when it comes to carbonated soft drinks production!

Alright thanks, however the Nigerian Bottling Coy is not a multinational coy. It is only a partner to Coca Cola as a bottler. So it does not count.

olaidefat:
It is not a big deal for an entry level role. When I joined a Multinational company as a trainee in 2008, I was given few days notice. I had to leave my employer then without any notice, though I forfeited a month salary.

Care to share the name of this multinational coy please?

mosgoon:
that's not unusual. I know two top multinationals that have done that

Oh really? Kindly pray tell, I'd love to make enquiries esp. as regards the one week resumption timeline.

GeniusOla:
It gave me concern too, however they obviously won't just have their way, they know how this thing is done. The way it was phrased was "have it in mind that resumption is so so date" which is exactly in a week time. Quite unexpected from a mult******

Wait, a mult***** asked you all to come pick up your letters individually at their office? On top of that with a one week resumption notification?

Are they Lebanese? Just wantu check something.

GeniusOla:
Anyone with legit clue on when resumption would be can predict when APL would be released, for the recruitment with the other coy I went through, we were told from day one that resumption would be in October, they called successful candidates yesterday (30th September) to come pick up APL physically at their office tomorrow and get ready to resume in exactly 1 week. All the best guys.
@OgaJarus I would like to give insights on this coys recruitment process sir, saw one of your posts/coaching on them. Thanks. Happy independence to you all.

Congrats once again bro.

I am concerned about the resumption after only 1week though. Are they going to compensate for the short notice period in respect of those who have an existing job or they simply don't care how one ends it with one's current employer?

poeticjustice:



July 8th

12pm'

GT, Lagos

We dey wait o

You sure say no be una money dem carry pay some people twice?

Local man it is better you focus on APL

Modubabunuye:
my friend offered a slot 4 N5M, but don't have Morney. after few days he managed to gathered amount from family, unfortunately the slot sold.

How has this info helped the common man now?

number5:
lol egbon, local man has been dreaming tey tey before sem started pumping

I thought @Mcgyver was the dreamer?

number5:
Lol...

Dreamt some hours ago that APL was released and names of successful candidates was announced on NTA.

Name number1. Scored 91, but was replaced for some "quota related reasons" in the words of the announcer. Other names were called, were all successful , only name i remembered was one Ifeanyi at number3.

When they got to @number5, local man woke up before the name could be called


I turned to the angel of dreams and was like:

Two things are involved concerning your dream:

1. If you have been thinking about APL so much in your waking life, then it is only a natural phenomenon for you to dream about it, so it is just some chemicals playing tricks in your head and means nothing.

2. Spiritually speaking, for you to be there present when they were rolling out the names of successful people, it means you are one of them. Waking up at the point of @number5's name being called also has significant meaning, it implies that there are forces against it (I hope you prayed for God to help you possess your possession, if you haven't, please do so immediately, jokes apart).

Note: I am not a Pastor and never used to believe in the "sh*t" I wrote in No. 2, but I have come to understand from personal experience that there are unseen battles and only the favoured ones get hints of it through dreams.

Congrats in advance.

bkamm:
Lol.
Shouldn't be surprising in regard a process this 'massive' though!

Well...
Been away (from this thread for a while), and I seem to see that there's a certain message/believe that "APL" will be "available" on or before Oct. 5th.

Sorry to say, that's highly unlikely.
Reason; there was an earlier need to review 'part of the concluded lists'.
That review, "yet to be approved".
The coming week is out of it sha, that's cos the 'medium' to get it approved isn't there (in the coming week).

So to say; It's got to be the subsequent weeks!
Hopefully it's more closer than later.
As always, best of luck people!

Bros. we can only shift the goal-post when you get massive buy-ins from NLanders. For now, pls just dey your dey.

Goal keeper is tayad...

souljar:
One-one inch, everyday. We move.

Goal-post keeps shifting by itself, even the goalkeeper is bewildered.

souljar:
2⅓ days to go.

No, it has been moved to Oct. 4 as per massive belief of @Naijatruth's position

So 6days to go...

Ginalex:
And where, how and when did I "set a standard I could not maintain" according to you? Aswear, there are so many strange people on this forum... U better live your life and stop monitoring and telling people how to live theirs... Stalker

Next time just use @Amadiohagirl or @Soponagirl, aswear fear will not allow him quote you talkless of stalk you.

Africans fear their local deities more than Jesus.

Abdulaaleem:
October 17th :-)

Okay, you have been cryptic about this your Oct. 17th since over 2weeks ago, what have you been trying to tell us?

Is it your birthday?

vingeophysicist:
yeah!! Back then I was really into that Jesusgirl . i was following her then but........ her comments on nairaland made me change direction. You are beautiful though.

Uhm! Hello bro, she just confirmed that @Jesusgirl is the same person as @Ginalex, perhaps you missed that part.

Beeam:
Beautiful perspective.

Misplaced location, pls go to the motivation thread to do this, u are derailing.

Ur comment has been reported.

Lol, comment reporter. If we have been reporting yours. The mods would not only ban you, they'll physically trace you to your house to seize your phone and laptop.

#Reportkeeyoudia

larride:
Sometimes it is good to test run your madness so some people won’t take your “maturity” as weakness or being unassertive.

Lol, true, but what if @Dbowline was also the same person as @GeniusOla?

My point is that all the effort would have been worth it if you even know as little as the real name of the person you are showing all the emotions for.

GeniusOla:
You didn't have to do this boss, remember the ant management theory? Respond not react

So it is safe to say that @eddyville92 responded while @enrypech reacted

#lessonlearnt

martinsfm:
someone that is not bright

Chai!

Aremolomi:
I will give u 100k if ur source come true on or b4 October 4th . Just post ur account number.

If otherwise on or after that day , just exit the platform cos of curses that will follow u.

Lol, low key, you want it to be true. All dis your gra gra na to test whether the guy go budge.

*THE COCKROACH MANAGEMENT THEORY*

A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai; an IIT-MIT Alumnus, now Google boss.

"The cockroach management theory for self development"

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear.

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away, but it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.

In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.

When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts, and started wondering; was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, *but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.*

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive, whereas responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand LIFE.

A Person who is HAPPY is happy not because
Everything is RIGHT in his Life...

He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right!

RESPOND TO ISSUES DON'T REACT, and keep winning....

@cliffwoods, I guess this article supports what you were trying to say the last time but it has not gotten as bad as not being able to pay salaries.

GeniusOla:
Mehn! This is extensive, thanks so much brother. Seen it from another perspective, A question wasn't answered pls, could the whites (nothern americans for instance) ever perceive someone to be proud? (In the negative) Thanks.

They wouldn't have invented the word "arrogant" if they didn't.

GeniusOla:
When exactly then does one cross the line to become proud or could it be that the word doesnt exist or Could it be a creation of african mentality? could the very civilised white be proud?
What exactly is the context of being proud? Just needed clarity.

You can actually be a proud father, if your child is doing well academically for instance. So "being proud" should not always be seen in the negative light.

However, if we should dwell on the negative as your question indicates, another word for it would be "arrogance"

Someone or someone's comment can come across as being 'arrogant' based on two factors -

1. Perspective/orientation

2. Level of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

1. Perspective
A child who says "what's up dad" as a form of greeting to his dad in America (very normal to an average American) will otherwise be considered to be a proud/arrogant/not humble child by an average Nigerian who sees him doing that to his dad here. It is simply a matter of perspective or orientation (why do you think some people almost kneel down when talking to elders on the phone?)

Another instance was when @mosgoon affirmed that the same comments for which he was being vilified here on NL were considered to be normal on reddit as no one even raised an eyebrow there, which brings me to point number 2.

2 . EQ on the part of the commenter
This should prompt the commenter to conduct an informal audience profiling to know which communication style to adopt otherwise he/she will come across as someone who is seeking unnecessary attention and in some cases deemed to be proud or not humble. Emotional Intelligence is key to avoid unnecessary backlash for an otherwise "innocent" statement.

Furthermore, the EQ of the audience also plays a crucial role in determining whether someone or a comment would be adjudged "proud". Some audience may see a comment, pick the relevant info and ignore the rest of the noise while the other set of audience will dwell on the "McKinsey" part that was mentioned and start vibrating.

In summary, being adjudged to be proud is a matter of perspective/orientation, and the emotional intelligence of the commenter and/or the audience. There is no hard and fast rule.

Okay we have heard ooo, Oct. 4th it is. You guys can stop quoting him now. It is beginning to sound like a broken record.
