seunmsg: You are very wrong. unnamed shareholders hold 20% stake in the company and Dr Ejike and prince Momoh are obviously representing their interest on the board.
Your hatred for other parts of Nigeria will not allow you to notice that the major beneficiary of this arrangement are the Italians who hold a whopping 50% interest in the company.
If the arrangement was that bad, how come GEJ did nothing about it for 5 years? Instead, he even rewarded the company by appointment Lamido Ado Bayero as the MD of NPA. It took an uncompromising Buhari that you people hate so much to cancel that appointment. Get your facts right and stop inciting the south south against other parts of the country.
they can't even incite the SS against other tribes in Nigeria. we know the Igbo's like the rider knows his horse. we know why they want and how to intend to achieve it. we simply know how to handle them.
they have tried forming this alliance twice in history and both attempts failed.
The first one was a forced marriage into Biafra during the civil war when they ravaged the SS lands forcing SS children to join their army and killing those who resisted. This failed as a Reprisal's attack from the Federal troops made the m surrender.
the second was this years election where they tried to use smartness and be the Southsouths's LovePeddler for Jonathan. when Jonathan lost, the as moved on as we know we will....but till today some persons are still crying more than the bereaved.
if Nigeria will split which is most unlikely, it will do so into many parts.....Biafra may be the cause of splitting but that doesn't mean the SS and SE will be one.....
when they call on history, they always stop at the then eastern region which was a political region for the NCNC created and controlled by Igbo men...nothing more.......such hypocrisy....if you want to judge regions that share union pleeeeeeeeease go to precolonial eras, we all know the stories of the empires and kingdoms that existed....these kingdoms and empires that lived as onevand friends still maintain that relationship. the Benin or Edo can marry the deltan, the deltan can easily marry the rivers or akwaibom person and the akwacross can marry the from any of the former easily without too many questions. But immediately a typical south south person wants to marry an Igbo , questions are asked by the as family and vice versa.
the peoples of the as region are diverse and have never been one with the igbos....if we want union with major tribes, we might as well just remain in Nigeria!!!....
basilo101: Why are u ppl like this? Its common knowledge that all eastern ports are not profitable for non oil imports instead of you to blame the appropriate authorities you start talking rub.bish like comming together and pressing for a cheaper rate bla bla bla its so disgusting.
eastern ports?
is there any port in the east? last time I checked, they are all in the region known as the south south which is completely and totally different in every aspect to the south eastern Igbo land.
about the sea ports, I think its a south south problem and we will handle it the way we think we can deal with the issue.
thanks for the heads up biafrans, we will look into it.
now pls go back to your protests and agitation for your Biafra which clearly doesn't include the south south.
NPComplete: Obviously another needy juvenile. He is not getting enough love and attention in his life so he intends to acquire it by writing the same jejune post on every thread and posting a picture of himself and that car to go with it. Hey prinhabyb, I hope u feel fulfilled now and cured of ur attention sickness. But if symptoms persists after 3 days, consult a native doctor.
chair...there is Christ oh..
this set of persons wey nlng want employ an clowns I swear...
The smile ehn, na die o. Even in my sleep sef. If I want to roll over, na wit smile lol. You really cant blame me tho cos this thing has met 2 of my most prominent needs in life. The first is that the struggle to break into the oil and gas industry has persisted for over a decade and now it has come. The second reason is that it has come in the form of deliverance from the hands of my oppressors at work.
I wish you the very best as well.
the kind testimony ehhhhn.......na smiles all d way
tk4rd: Guy, I never inquired on the renumeration. I no go lie to you.. But this amount you wrote here, how sure are you please.?? Is your sauce a confirmed sauce.? This one na heart attack jarre. ... Congrats to you too.
he said he is experienced....and rumour has it that even the gts get over 7 figures...I'm sure with time some persons here will know the real figure.
prelinctus: Oga, what proof does nlng have that recent commenters here were part of the assessment centre? For all you know, a group of people that got eliminated at the first stage may decided to keep posting trash about nlng just for fun. Having said that, your logic, as well as, prinzofparis' is inherently flawed.
lol you can say that...it doesn't matter who makes the comments,....what they will be after is to ensure people don't start having negative impressions about the company...if I was in charge, I will simply absorb those I can and bring a close to the recruitment without keeping anybody on waiting list.
anyway, let's let it fly jare bro....I don share my view. let the bashing continue...
lsoul: All companies gat their own critics, no matter how good they are, people will still talk, its left for them to protect their image. Same people that talks will still patronize them. E.g mtn, banks, if atm swallows your card customers go shout!, or during poor netwk issue, some customers swear 4 d bank sef, next day u will see them @ d banking hall.
Anyways we are all gud.
nice points, that's how to communicate like an adult.
these companies u mentioned have people as its first product....so people management is their thing.
consider, before the oil price drop, a multinational was about recruiting 60 persons and keeping 20 on waiting list. (they already had about 17 on waiting from previous recruitments). then came the oil price drop and they had to stall d recruitment. about 3 months later, there was a small debate in d company about the recruitment. they decided to to absorb 40 and keep 40 on waiting depending on how the market fairs (even against consultants advice)
then came the negative comments online, a thread even made FP on Nairaland painting the company in all opaque colors. The company simply absorbed its 40 and sent regret mails to the remaining 40 to the extent that even the 17 that were previously on waiting list received regret mails. This was done to reduced the negative comments about the company keeping people for too long in d name of recruitment. Some persons in this thread know this company and some were even in the process.
its all good though, we can continue making all kinds of comment online about NLNG in the logic that we don't support mediocrity (which to me is still relative, because NLNG might have its own genuine reasons for this delay). I believe that the negative comments does more harm than good. So left to me, I'd suggest we stop/reduce such comments, but hey.....I'm just one person so I can't talk for all.
naastyme: It is called "common sense" dude! No sensible organization will make such decision based on some silly chats that can't even be inked to its potential employees. I don't have to know nothing about nlng to know that.
common sense is relative dear friend. what is common to A might just be a high IQ situation to B. its all about being informed about the situation in view. as it concerns the situation we find ourselves now, some persons might be more informed than others.
naastyme: Too much childish statements on this forum now that it is becoming increasingly boring to read...Na wa o! What is this laughable talk about our comments here affecting the recruitment process of a company? Who even knows if we are the true potential employees or just some random people claiming to be? Guys, grow up, abeg!
forgive me but you know nothing so far as this recruitment is concerned.
lsoul: Bro I understand, some HR do go through nairaland, that's why is not advisable one post questions and interview questions oñ this forum. Just that the way he said they will increase the regret mail was really funny. They can only increase regret mails when cheating is involved not by comments. IMO
if they initially planned to absorb some and keep some on waiting, but candidates keep complaining on a public forum in a way that could tarnish d company's image. They could as well just add some of the proposed waiting list people to the regret mails to simply give them closure.
there's more to this recruitment than what we know on here. He might just know much more at the moment.
lsoul: NLNG to increase the number of regret mails because of comments here lmao
is it a new thing as it relates to recruitments in Nigeria? na wa o...I've had first hand experience with a company that sent regret mails to people that were initially on waiting list all because of a post on NL front page ... a friend in the company HR confirmed it as the reason for dropping the waiting list peeps. This is Nigeria bro...weird things do happen. if Nigerian army takes online comments as important,...I know Nlng also takes it serious.
Djbaka: We all survived the longest wait so far in this exercise, between July 2014 and June, 2015.
Waiting 5 months now ought to be a piece of cake, but I can tell you it's not! The anxiety and anticipation now is something else.
Tough or not.. I don't think it really matters. Cry, shout, fall sick, slap your boss #itsallowed. Let's just produce ourselves physically and mentally healthy when our success mails drop.
Nice to see SqlMastar again. BTW where's dpress, princeofparis, chm11??
Wealthyone: What you wrote is an insult to the Human Resources profession. Unfortunately, the so-called 1diot won't give you the job as your trait and aura during the interview will give u away.
There was a clause in my statement. Read it again. take not of the first 3 words

oliambi: Am serious lookin for Hotel Job in Benin, am collectly idol, who has an Idea of hotel lookin for manager or supervisor in benin, pls let me kw. I live in Benin
tk4rd: Ohh.. CHM11.. You've not been reimbursed too.? Ok naa.. But that does not validate the theory which you guys are propounding. If some people were reimbursed, and it happens that those ones whom NLNG have selected were not reimbursed, then, it means that NLNG have given away the results of the exercise even before the exercise finished., which I know NLNG is smart enough not to even think of doing.. The reimbursement is no big deal. The budget is little. The ones that are pending might be having issues with the account details they supplied, and I believe that NLNG must be working very hard to rectify them. Thus, when they rectify the issues with the candidates, they reimburse them.
I got my transport allowance exactly 31 days after my AC. My earlier post was me just being sarcastic and playful. There can't be any connection between the AC outcome and transport allowance. Those still waiting, I hope the issue causing delay is rectified soon.
DeeBlacque: Come to think of it, why (as an organization), will I reimburse those I know will make it to my payroll? Come on guys, for those of us who haven't received any refund, we're dancing our way to Bonny already, cos our employment letters have been written with permanent markers. Does someone get the code here? For those who have already been paid, ................*dodges bottle*... I mean................. *dodges slippers*... but wait...............*dodges blow*...............*runs away********
Lol or maybe the assessors just thought- 'there's no way these ones will make it through, their names were even in pencil before. No need to keep it on file!. They didn't even waste time to go looking for eraser, they just used the nearest rubber band to clean of those names and details immediately after the AC.'
Oooops....*dodges rock*.....wait...*dodges mountain*......oh sorry.....*dodges a whole planet*
Godsbaby1: no it is not pap i have been trying to upload the pic, i dont really knw hw to, it solid whitisd mud, like Igbo call theirs Nzu or Uro,

Stop taking it if you've noticed any negative things in terms of reproduction. If you feel like eating it, its probably cos your hormones are coming up and getting your body ready to conceive...the Ekoo might just be an anti-hormonal stuff....just saying.
You just did by quoting me. Unfortunately, they don't know the Urhobo or igbo names for all of the except for Vitex (Chasteberry) which is called 'Eshasha' pronounced 'hey-tcha-tcha' in urhobo. If you have close family or friend here in Lagos, they could get them for you and send down to you.
PS: Please don't throw your doctors advice out the window too.
basilo101: See d map u uploaded, Aba and Benin which one is closer to d sea? i.e. Which one is more southern. Cross river and imo which one is more Niger Deltan? All these abnormal nomenclatures sef.
Sorry dear, this thread has nothing to do with south east igbo regions, this thread was to simply show the region called the SS and the people there. It has nothing to do with Aba or Imo.
The South South region of Nigeria comprises of six states and is strategically located at the point where the Y tail of the river Niger joins the Atlantic Ocean through the Gulf of Guinea. Though a relatively small stretch of land, the south of the country provides the economic mainstay of the economy: oil.

atbu1983: Igbo think south south people are fools. is true many south south have been deceived. They are blackmailing us with Jonathan 2015 election. Just because they supported Jonathan as far as they are concern, south south owe them. We south south must learn to separate 2015 election from Niger delta struggle and Biafra.
Only a shortsighted south south will support south south being part of Biafra. What we want is resource control or our own nation not Biafra. Joining Biafra will be our greatesr mistake. Igbo should form Biafra and let south south form its own confederation or different nations. Joining Biafra will be worst than south sudan. Anybody in d minority tribe who refused to agree with them will b destroyed.
True We know them, many of us that have lived amongst them know them wella........
