Polchiz:

By strength shall no man prevail. The God's anointed, David never fought Saul for the throne. At God's appointed time, Saul committed suicide and gave way.

The King of Isreal was a position originally meant for God and it was God’s and His alone to appoint and give as he deemed fit. hence David’s inaction.

But when Jacob stole Esau’s blessing from their father, what did their father say was the solution? Esau was advised to brace-up and struggle to get back his rightful place

“....But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck”

And don’t forget that same God put in place the law “whatever a man sow he shall reap” still said “Do not steal”. Meaning the man’s harvest can be stolen

Itzdanrimi:
Uhhmm. In no way what Almighty God destined for you goes to other person. If it's ours it will surely reach us. This is all enough.

Very wrong sir

What Almighty God has destined for you, if you make no effort to take what is yours. You sit down, cross your arms and legs then you would definitely see how it would be kidnapped before your very eyes

Take every post you read here with a pinch of salt. Yes, every!

This is a public faceless forum avoid trusting complete strangers with your details.

Believe it, when you see it! (especially posts from people that have issues staying true to their own words, is it what they post about other people’s business that would come to pass)

Unknownuser:

33% Merit. Now you're talking. As against the 90% merit some people were shouting at the beginning of the recruitment. 90% forr this Nigeria wey all of us dey. LOL.

If we even see up to 33%, we should definitely shout for joy

Some people and their uncontrollable urge to tell stories that touch, go make you wonder, wonder(x10), till you turn to wonderer

Marvel68:

Total staff employed (Master List) = 600
Merit candidates (200)
SH candidates (400)

Master list (Batch A & B)
- Batch A ( 300+)
- Batch B (200 +) in progress...

Congrats in advance!!

Ain’t nothing new but the blues.
This information/speculation has been on this trend for months now.

Babagy823:

The same you being quoted below tried to make everyone believe Merit filled 400 slots.

BrockSamson:

Oh never mind that was the old you (Marvel65), it could be a new person behind this moniker for all i know.

Now I am guessing A.R Shakur has shown the new you the new list and you confirmed the 200+ remaining slots were filled by 200 bonafide merit candidates. O ga oo

Frankworld:


Note: Some people keep affirming my opinion


Brocksamson or whatever your name is... Now u made ur intentions known... Your personal attack at marvel has been to chase him away so that you can come and parade yourself as an authentic information sharer.. So funny how people fight for irrelevant power and presence.

Looool

Replace Marvel as the sharer of information that has no relevance to merit APLs right, it is juicy position

The Person that drew my attention to this post said: Samson, come and see this mumu ..... Bros you sef dey see how you dey broadcast yourself in a faceless public forum.

BrockSamson:

Note: Some people keep affirming my opinion

Jan9:
Now that they have all chased marvel away can they provide us with their own so called "authentic information"?

like all his information has aided your cause in anyway lmao. Your lovely Marvel is still very much around trying sending him a PM and if he deletes his account he is most probably tired of his own stories

You are even following Marvel68, As at 9:32pm you posted this you; how many seconds did you need to verify whether Marvel68 had actually deleted his account before posting this. Now that is the problem with most of you (Zero personal reasoning, that is even if any form of reasoning takes place at all)

Note: Some people keep affirming my opinion

Here is an authentic information for you that your mind would disregard because it is not as sweet as the beans from Marvel. if you weren’t promised a slot and you didn’t have the influence/opportunity to buy/get one, you can as well forget about this recruitment. The “second batch” is far from the “merit list” purported. Only very very very few lucky people are on it by merit (you noticed i used three “very” right) .

peepydelano:
that atiku boy called brockwhateva shld leave too as he promised to do after his letter, marvel kept his words,so do same

Marvel’s moniker that i can still see kept his word lol Just give him time to re-boot. You would hear from him soon. If your need for stories that touch is urgent send him a PM. This man i am sure you can read and write, I don’t know why you vehemently try to make me doubt this fact

Plus I don’t understand your obsession with Akitu, like less than 2% of sensible Nigerians my vote was for Kingsley Moghalu. Someone that had a plan and enough IQ for execution. If i can go back in time knowing the outcome of that election i would vote for him again

As my guy i would make you this offer (unlike some people “My word is my bond”). Spot where i expressly posted that i was going to delete myself and i would wire 40k to you first thing tomorrow morning.

I do enjoy our banters here, let not forget that backyard talk we supposed to have when this is over

Marvel68:
You don’t have to worry. I will keep my word.
My job is done & there’s nothing more to say.
I’m glad some made effort to confirm the second list.
Like you said, “Allow DPR do their thing”
Those that need more information can PM me.
Everyone will be ok.
Cheers!

Marvel68:
It’s ok. If nothing happens by February, I will leave this thread for good. It’s a promise!

For your information, nobody is forcing “Marvel” to do anything. He is acting his own script, of his own volition he said this and didn’t do it, thats free will.

If his “kind of information” (that hasn’t gotten merit people anywhere till date) is critical to your sustenance, have you tried sending him a PM? (Its just a thought)

Goderlist:
All these people who are forcing marvel to deactivate his account you are so selfish

Now that marvel has gone into silence mode, non of you can come up with any relevant information(even if u have any)

.......................................................................

please continue with your good work

peace!

One thing about opinions is that they are so cheap, everyone of the 7 billion people on earth in their right thinking mind has one including mad people (Someone just corrected about assuming that only people in their rational minds have opinions).

I am glad you aired yours and no offense was taken. Here is mine: people that are listening/trusting in Marvel for months now thinking he is on their side are very stupid. This is a faceless forum have you ever stopped to ask yourself, who Marvel is and why he keeps lingering here and sharing stories that get merit people no-where if he doesn’t have vested interest.

All the information Marvel has provided for months on this trend where did it get you, did APLs for merit folks come out? But it stop APLs from being promised out and sold to the powerful, rich and politically-connected?

For months, you have been hearing today, tomorrow, next week, next month. With due respect, If you are not very stupid you should know something is amiss; Maybe Marvel is trying to stall the folks here.... Instead you would rather have these stories even if nothing would come out of it for you so far you don’t have to take any action by yourself or use your brain.

All the people that provided you info have collected APLs and they left you here, more would still collect and leave you give it time. Don’t worry when its over you would surely know, you don’t need Marvel for that. Well thats my opinion, I hope I didn’t offend you in any way; you know how fickle opinions can get.

Babagy832:


guy easy na as people said before end of March, you that have waited since December 2016 Just be patient a little.

aha oga Marvel68 and Aunty Xtruzz happy New month in advance

Ohh okay, March it is. The ones that were promised and the ones that bought are the people being credited with APLs

The hopefuls will receive their own share before end of March you say? alright then

Happy New Month Hopefuls

notindome:


Season 3 was lit. See as cinema full, tickets sold out. The Movie was so captivating that staying glued to the scenes was an understatement

The Endders: A Shocking February (Season 4) Is in the making, cast have moved to shooting location. Shooting have began. Watch out.

All the best to the Actors and Actresses, we are solidly behind you all. Regards.

Peace out.

Mr Movie Director! You should win an oscar!

A Shocking February was action packed! So many were shocked by how the show ended, asking questions that were left unanswered by the cabal. You should have seen the look on their faces, their surprise no get part 2

I hear the season finale is in March, I can’t wait

Ladies and Gentlemen, that is how February ended!

The sharing is still going on, the hopefuls are still folding their arms and hoping; I guess thats why they are called hopefuls [pun intended]

Marvel if you are not going to delete yourself, atleast come and do your work. Tell the itchy ears it would surely happen in March

P.S: Make nobody vex for me, lets not fight. I am just happy tomorrow is Friday

peepydelano:
Thanks man, they are too serious on this thread.peace

For the first time, I agree with you. Let us all be jovial and enjoy DPR’s jokes

Sholly24:


But do you know FIRS recruitment exercise was advertized at d same time in 2016 when DPR was also advertized. Some were called to start work last year while some others were called 2 weeks ago. My sister in law was one of them. So am very sure of this. Though firs recruitment process lack credìbility compared to dpr which I still believe will not go completely d way firs went. Am disappointed on how it has been done so far cos even myself a critical decision i need to make depend on d outcome and conclusion of dis dpr recruitment

What if i told you that even with the way FIRS’ recruitment was handled, it is by a “big margin” far more credible that this DPR recruitment.

You don’t have to take my word for it, Just wait and see.

.

Sholly24:
I just have a feeling d outcome of dis presidential election is part of what is delaying d release of d second batch list...

I can’t believe it is you of all people that posted this comment. A 2016 recruitment, some of your mates have been working for over 6 months, some started work this month and this is what you “feel”

A big wawuu to your feelings

Lmao

I have learnt to lower my expectations from some humans. Don’t expect everyone that have eyes to see. Don’t expect everyone with a brain to have capacity to think.

Cross your arms and hope, be there consuming stories that touch month after month; you’d tell me if you are one of those Mr Mordecai Ladan promised a slot or you are one of those he sold slots to.

P.S: Marvel please don’t forget to delete yourself as promised once this month is over.

I have completed my role in God's plan for our lives as it applies to DPR and I have passed on the baton.

I still remain yours truly, BROCKSAMSON

BrockSamson:
I have started praying for the Marvel68 and I have a strong conviction it has been sealed.

Marvel, If truly you (and everyone that has ever handled the Marvel moniker) came here to help us, you will find help whenever you turn, before you even ask for help it would find you. The Sun, Earth, Wind, Waters, Every Power and Principality would help you and led you on the straight path of success.

...but if it is not so, you came here to delay and thwart the effort and dreams of the young people who this job can change their stories of their families. The Sun, Earth, Wind, Waters, Every Power and Principality will despise you and work against you. You will never find help the land of the living, nothing visible or invisible will ever provide you solace in the Almighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Same goes for everyone that has ever come to this thread and made conscious effort to deceive us.

A curse cause shall not stand. It also means a curse with a cause shall stand!

This has been sealed. i still need as many people as possible to cry it out to God everyday for speedy manifestation. Please include "If BrockSamson has intentionally deceived and led those deserving of this job astray let the curses here catch up with 'em first but if it is not so and BrockSamson has put effort, time and money to pave way for the brilliant folks in this recruitment process let 'em be the first to experience your profound outlandish blessing"

Long Post

OPEN LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT, MUHAMMADU BUHARI BY CONCERNED NIGERIAN GRADUATES ON THE ONGOINGS OF DPR RECRUITMENT 2016 BY DPR MANAGEMENT IN THE SELECTIVE RELEASE OF APPOINTMENT LETTERS IN A MANNER LACKING FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY AND SUGGESTIVE OF NEPOTISM.

Your Excellency Sir,

Firstly, we want to congratulate you on picking APC’s presidential ticket, we hope this success which is not based on personal frivolity or the thought of amassing personal gain but deep sense of commitment to making a difference in the lives of our people will be the spirit we can beckon upon to aid us in our cause. We are hopeful that we have a leader who would champion a clarion call to all Nigerians and people in authority to do the right thing, be it carrying their day-to-day responsibilities with integrity to fight and stamp out the scourge of corruption or the conduction and successful conclusion of free and fair recruitment exercises by government parastatals, which is the subject of our protest as we draw attention to this anomaly that needs to be addressed.

Mr. President, to better understand our trivial, we would have to narrate the whole DPR recruitment journey. On 25th of October 2016, Department of Petroleum Resources advertised vacancies for Experienced Hires and Graduate Trainee positions. The minimum class of degree to qualify for this recruitment process was a second class lower division and according to DPR’s website the official mode of communication was through candidates’ portals. Sometime in July 2017, we received test invite via our portals; some also received email/sms notifying them to check their portal. Over 40,000 young, bright and promising Nigerian youths sat for the DPR's recruitment test in various locations across the country having met the stipulated recruitment criteria. Many of these young chaps had to pass through a lot of rigors in order to write this test. Many of the candidates had to embark on harrowing journeys on the death traps we call inter-state roads. Others traveled from various parts of the world on personally funded flights.

On getting to the test venues, In their hordes these hopeful Nigerian youths bore the infernal heat of the sun, as they waited for the officials of the DPR and Snapnet Limited, nothing could better define the enthusiasm of these young ones than the arrival of a newly wedded bride still dressed resplendently in her wedding gown making her way through the crowd to "secure her future". Despite these inconveniences, over 4,000 candidates passed the test and were invited for interviews in December 2017. A good number of the candidates missed their interview because they didn’t receive any official email and sms communication informing them to check their portal after months of no correspondence from DPR. Many testified to being lucky to have been informed to check their portals through their fellow candidates via social media platforms especially Nairaland; an online public forum. Getting to the interview filled us with immerse hope for our country Nigeria, something was finally working right we thought. The last batch of successful candidates were interviewed at the various geographical Nigeria across Nigeria, in a time when the security situation of Nigeria could best be described as tenuous, owing to the endless political violence that were becoming rife. Once again, optimistic Nigerians made the trip to the specified locations across lands and oceans at personal expense.

Fast forward to June 2018, we got wind that the journey of almost two years would roll to its conclusion. Then it first started as rumors, that without a political connection or the backing of an influential sponsor getting an appointment letter from DPR was a mirage. We waved off such rumors holding on to our faith that the recruitment would end with the same integrity and transparency it started under the leadership of Mr. Ahmad Rufai Shakur; Head, Corporate Services. However our profound faith was misplaced as we were awaken by the rude shock of distribution of appointment letters outside the use of portal updates. DPR started contacting “special candidates” through phone calls, which was unusual considering the mode of communication during the first 2 stages of the recruitment was through the portal. These special candidates have collect their appointment letters and they have since resumed at their various locations with yet no official communication through the portal to the merit candidates, who were successful in both test and interview conducted. Some of these special candidates confessed to have had strings pull on their behalf, while the rest disappeared leaving us to our fate. From senatorial connections to slots being allotted to present and past management staff of DPR, who apart from receiving huge remunerations average Nigerians can only dream of also covert the organization’s employment slots as part of their entitlement.

Hopefuls are increasingly wary, because the conspiracy of silence on this process forebodes ominous signals as was the case with the 2008 and 2012 recruitment. Unlike 2008 recruitment which was ingloriously swept under the carpet, 2012 recruitment was savaged with the aid of a newspaper publication such as this. The questions that keep begging for answers are: What offense did the common Nigerian youth commit? Is there any hope for the son and daughters of the common man that are working hard to rise above the factors in their environment mitigating their success? What then is stopping the release of appointment letters to successful interviewees of the common folks? Should we just accept that employment in government parastatals is now reserved for the politically connected, rich and powerful?

Department of the Petroleum Resources (DPR) have decided to play the ostrich concerning the recruitment of a few deserving Nigerian youths, whereas in this nation, billions of naira have gone into sustaining the avarice of a few. It needs some reiteration that it is the career of hardworking, deserving young Nigerians that is being toyed with by a privileged few. Mr President, Ministers and top management staff of these organizations should remember that “those whose nuts were cracked by benevolent spirits are morally obliged to others”. It is also worthy of note that increased personnel costs were defended by Department of Petroleum Resources at the Senate defense hearing. The Director of the DPR, Mr Mordecai Dantani Baba Ladan confirmed the department was to recruit 700 staff. It is however surprising therefore that months after this promise, numerous sons and daughters of the privileged and highly placed in the government and society have been employed; while the sons and daughters of the common man have been treated with uttermost disdain. Numerous slots have been traded based on entitlement while the hard-work of the common Nigerian youth was looked down upon and scoffed at. What kind of future is there for this regulatory body where employment slots are given on a platter of gold to the children of the privileged while brilliant minds are ignored just because they have no political connection or an influential sponsor?

We advocate for fairness, goodwill and the successful conclusion of this process, otherwise will call to question the genuineness of Mr. President’s change agenda and fight against corruption, which most of the hopefuls bought and gave him their votes for. It is unjust that in this nation, a cabal of few persons who brought this nation down on her knees still runs amok, whereas the employment of a few hundred youths have become a matter of contention. So far, the hopefuls have remained calm. We are gentlemen and ladies in the very sense of it; we are responsible professionals/would be professionals, but there is a point to which we can suffer the evil in the land.

We therefore wish to by this medium call on your attention Mr. President and all relevant stakeholders of government to this menace. We do not intend to castigate anybody by this letter but we expect the right thing to be done, which by our plea is that the remaining candidates who merited this job be immediately contacted to collect their appointment letters; putting an end to this deliberate delay so as to avoid any scenario that may lead to the cancellation of this recruitment or further manipulations that will favor more “special candidates” under the guise of doing the right thing.

It is our hope that Mr President, you will lend a listening ear to our plea, by looking into a speedy conclusion of this long-running recruitment process in favour of successful candidates of the common men and women of our country and invite them for training in the spirit of Mr. President’s transformation agenda and job creation for the Nigerian youth.
We appreciate the involvement of media and civil society in our cause as an injustice against the Nigerian youth is one against the Nation's future.

GOD BLESS YOU!

GOD BLESS DPR!

GOD BLESS NIGERIAN GRADUATES!

GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!

OPEN LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT, MUHAMMADU BUHARI BY CONCERNED NIGERIAN GRADUATES ON THE ONGOINGS OF DPR RECRUITMENT 2016 BY DPR MANAGEMENT IN THE SELECTIVE RELEASE OF APPOINTMENT LETTERS IN A MANNER LACKING FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY AND SUGGESTIVE OF NEPOTISM.

My Last Sermon - God’s Plan

If you are here and you still think that if you made it on merit and your name was replace then it was not God’s plan for you, permit me to educate you. You don’t have to agree with me you can also see your pastor.

What is God Plan for you
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Does God want you to continue staying at home - NO. Does God want you to continue in that job that is leading no where and leaves you with no savings - NO. Does God want to you have this juicy DPR job -YES!

Nevertheless God plan for you can be delayed, diverted and even stolen. How do i know.

(Here Jesus was telling the Parable of the Farmer that sow good seeds then the enemies can to plant weed.)

(Jesus still speaking)
Matthew 13:27-28 - The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “An enemy did this,” he replied.

1 Corinthians 16:9 - a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

How can you get back God’s plan for your life from the thieving enemies - YOU MUST CONTEND WITH THE ENEMY WITH YOUR OWN HANDS!

(Here Issac was telling Esau the only way to recover his dominion that was stolen from him by his brother Jacob)
Genesis 27:40b - when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.

No matter how much you pray God would still need people to make a difference in Nigeria. Even in the exception cases where God takes on the battle by Himself you have to be present to face the enemy (eg battle at the wall of Jericho) If you can’t be used of God to raise up and face the challenges of today forget about tomorrow because the challenges of tomorrow would be far greater.

dprsauce:


Yes ọ. Uselessly optimistic and extremely religious. Any small thing, them go involve God, optimism and prayer. If that is wat China, Japan, US and other developed countries needed to succeed, am 101% sure they will remain under developed like Nigeria. Very naive foolish set of stupid people

Well regrettably this is the first time we would both be in agreement. The most problems i had was with the Christians, I won’t blame most of them cause it was due to their lack of knowledge. Funny enough When the Former Marvel started to weight in the fact that they thought if they merited the job and their names were replaced it was God’s plan that when i started to suspect him because that was a big blatant lie, may God have mercy on whoever was handling that Marvel65 moniker but he/she won’t escape judgement!

Marvel68:
2006 - 2008
2010 - 2013
Their prayers, patience & optimism paid off.
If you feel it’s over, turn a blind eye to this thread. Thank you!

Do your research!

2008 Recruitment was shared amongst powers that be then swept under carpet, only the luckiest of luck got in.

2013 was savaged by a newspaper publication, it would have go the way of 2008 recruitment without it. The evidence is online for all who seek the truth.

Marvel, The same way you need this thread to deceive folks (especially the overly religious without knowledge of the things of the Spirit) and keep them from any action that would disrupt your plans is the same way i would use the thread to empower them and break away from the shackles of your deception.

Mark my words, tomorrow will come nothing will happen you will be given new dates, told new stories!

Epianuuu:
U doubt marvel ,Brocksman.. how do u know you are a merit candidate? Or that u made the final list at all, na u score yourself? u doubt Marvel info which i too doubt long ago but u still keep marvel so called merit and sh gist.

Now you just asked the right questions.

I don’t, even if i have the conviction that based on merit (exam & interview scores) I should make it into DPR. I really don’t care about myself, Whether you believe it or not.

Right from the word “go”, slot trading was going on; that was what gave birth to the term “Stakeholder Candidates”. As call were made, lists of names were submitted, merit (exam & interview scores) were disregarded. Some didn’t even write test. Few mouthed men even paid Mordecai Ladan a visit and APLs followed them home. How long should we sit back and watch few privileged Nigerians bring the entire country to ruins. Whats the hope of the intelligent children of the common man, whose brain power is able to restore this country.

Anyways i would do this for the people that should have made that list based on merit (exam & interview scores), that their hopes were bashed and names were substituted for that of people who can’t even spell properly.

Why?...... because i can. Everywhere you find yourself take a stand against evil.

.

There is one more choice, that can be carried out before elections ”P” . You have been listening to these people fighting tooth and nail for their own interest what has come out of it! now merit folks listen to yourselves and do what would likely work in your interest, even if it doesn’t you have nothing to lose because as it is there is nothing for you.

When you tell people slot are being traded and promised to people they won’t believe. Like I always say the truth is like air, it will eventually come out.

Merit folks! I have told you before and would tell you again without mincing words waiting is not in your favor. Sometimes I just laugh, some of us now have demanding jobs thats need our full attention. My days on this trend are numbered but I have already said it; I will see this through with one final act

Epianuuu:

I was impressed with the way that Marvel served people so much beans and they kept eating. I still am.

So?

JWhite2Deep:
Honestly, I don dey begin reason say Xtruzz, BrockSamson, Epiannu........

This fight fight for here, e fit be say all of them na friends for background ohh . I just dey reason am ohh, if no be so e be, na joke I dey ohh.

Na this part make me burst serious laugh

I have told them the decree that has been issued. Whether they believe or not, no ranting, nothing will stop it!

Funny how they all took note of the curse and not the blessing.

It has been sealed and set in stone.

Epianuuu:
Brocksamson, relax, nothing go happen. You wey dey accuse other people of beebg sh candidates, what if they swear for you too? I no e dey painful but no make everything about u.

You think this is about me...

*smiles* @TheBolded no need to exchange word over this.

Wait and see.

Epianuuu:
It is time to abuse ourselves. This is sickening. Brocksman, you should not lay curses because u chose to believe a lie to be honest. Marvel brought up this sh candidate thing, almost everyone believed him. This na greed. So if e no benefit u, the others wey enter no get sense abi? Na only u get sense. Anyways, i sympathize with u on the other hand, Marvel and him people don decive people taya with fake, nonsense stories. Absolutely nonsense stories. I don tell people taya Marvel is lying ooooooooo. I had been in the background warning people for months that he is lying but i just cannot take it no more, marvel is wicked. Unfortunately, my friends here go dey attack me

I didn’t lay curse on anybody, read well. Their own actions will stand against them. Whether a blessing or curse will come upon them is of their own doing.

I tell you authoritatively it shall surely come to pass!

Hahahaha

When the Lord stands in the place of vengeance to expose your enemies.

Even the whistling of the wind would make them afraid and jumpy, they will expose themselves

Mark this day and my words, every enemy of the plan of God for every life that merited this job would get what is coming to them. If they are able to put a spoon to their mouth they shall not be able to swallow! Judgement should be swift and just!
