Like play like play, they invited us for interview! Yeah! I said it. See how we ran to NNPC Towers for Interview! 2019 is our year!

That’s how I managed to approach my crush. I even had the confidence to tell her that once I get my mega job, I would change her life.

I even started thinking of my wedding in 2019 even when I didn’t have serious babe, but there was one crush like that sha.

Even me, I started planning how I will cut off some of my friends when I get the job. ‘No more associating with low-life people this 2019.’

After coming home from the exam venue, I started telling everyone in my house, ‘This job na sure banker.’ Even my mother started calling herself Mama NNPC. She stoped staying inside car again. Anytime anybody picks her in their car, when driving past our street, she would stay on top of the car, based on who she now is: Mama NNPC.

After the exam, we gave them marking scheme. NNPC job is sure!

That is how I started reading o! Because they said faith without works is dead.

Before you know it, they shortlisted us for aptitude test. Yippie! 2019, our year of breakthrough!

We then heard on the news that NNPC wanted to recruit. You need to see how I quickly wrote my application. ‘This job cannot pass me by!’

I started acting by faith o. I even start moving with confidence that my dream job will come this 2019.

My 2019 timeline.

I remember the first Sunday service of the year when the pastor said, ‘This year is your year’. He even said, ‘There’s a guy in the congregation. You will get your mega job this year! Because of your breakthrough, you will feed your whole family! You will even feed your whole village!’

NwanyiOkpa:
This is our week of APL.
Anambra Premier League

How many times will I tell you? Comot your mind from APL this 2019.

Rahl444:
lol
You are taking cocococo Seriously..The guy na matured clown o...He has this witty way of countering every comment no matter how inspiring, motivating, educative, informative, necessary,and even positive with negative comments..That's his talent ,that's his nature.

And he deceives himself most times,when he thinks that he is making sense out of such ridiculous comments...Thus, I prefer to believe that he just a huge clown who is about to loose it...

‘lose’, not ‘loose’.

muhamm3d:
God knows if I had the chance to give you my APL I Will give it to you today without thinking twice about it. Not that I'm so rich but tbh you need it more than I do. What I can however do is to pray you get it and I genuinely pray Almighty Allah gets you this APL before I get mine cos you need it more than I do. Insha Allah

I love your generous spirit, but you may want to listen to everybody’s story before you decide on who you want to share the limited APLs to.

mydas4ever:
Your comment is very stupid. Ol'boy you really need to grow o and stop looking for attention on a faceless forum. Ode!

Andre92:
This is the most senseless comment I have ever read on this forum. You failed to get the message. It's such a shame. Receive sense IJN.

Na una know o. I have said my own. Come and beat me in my house.

A1grade:
Bro the situation is only in God's hands. If I play my record for you, hmmmmm. Being from a family that is struggling, my parents managed to see me through school. After graduation in 2007 with a 2.1, all hopes were high and everyone was looking up to me because I was the first child of a family of 6.

I have gone for interviews in almost all the companies in Nigeria, Shell, Chevron, Mobil, Total, Saipem etc and nothing still happened.

Since then I had become reluctant to apply for jobs. I later got a job in a servicing company but some of us were dropped after some time, cos of the fact that the company lost some of its contracts during the periods of upheavals in the oil and gas industry.

Now I am teaching in a private school, preparing candidates for IELTS, SAT and TOEFL. Yes I make some money but it's hardly enough cos of the responsibilities I have on my shoulders. My parents are aged and my younger ones who are in school are all dependent on me. What is more? I am married with 3 kids.

So guys, learn from me. If I am still kicking and hopeful, please don't give up. It shall be alright. Although I am still pained at heart that I can't take care of my parents who deprived themselves of comfort just to send me to school. People laughed at them for not wearing good clothes. But I can't care for them the way I should. My heart still weeps bitterly. But I still remain positive anyways.

Bros, you even fit marry wife and born not 1, 2, but 3 children. Men like us wey never see money do better dating, ‘talkless’ of paying for father-in-law marriage list. You can afford to have 3 kids (from my understanding, having just one kid is really capital-intensive) while your parents who suffered to raise you up are being laughed at for not wearing good clothes?
The crux of the matter is we all have our stories. Yours may have been financial, and others may be healthwise, emotional, death of family/friend, betrayal from family/friend, heartbreak, or even ‘spiritual’. No one really wins a prize for having the most problem in life, or does anyone? I’ll be more impressed when I can see how you’ve touched or changed people's lives even from your painful experiences or the little you have, but from your story, your parents’ clothes haven’t been changed even when you can afford to.

Now, NNPC be like, ‘Does he really deserve this job?’

Achimenco:
Could it be true they might have released Apl to the successful candidates secretly. Someone posted this on nnpc group twitter handle asking for verification.

Yes, they have. We are already 2 months into employment. Odeh.

NwanyiOkpa:
Good morning everyone. I have something to say.

This week is gonna be a good week.

We know. Is APL coming out this week or not?

Napolitano2012:
Update: my boss just informed me he got a call from the HR lady again... She said they have completely concluded "online documentation" for each of the successful candidates Just TODAY"......

They have come again. And the funny thing is how Nigerians embrace such news because that is what they want to hear. Well, I will not fault you Mr Napolitano since you did not mention an exact date that APL will come. Because, as far as I am concerned, no APL this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year must come and go before NNPC can even think of releasing APL. It is common sense. These guys have already started celebrating their festive period. APL can wait, according to them.

Beeam:
Excuse me, but you are talking about ppl like cococococo, larride, teaser4, jiang as ppl that will build a nation to compete with America?
Lobatan!

Come this guy, what do you mean by I can’t improve Nigeria? Do you know you are talking about your possible future senior NNPC colleagues? Be warned o. Don’t let me give you query, even before APL.

Ladyjane5657:
Coco what?! Yeiiii! Of all the ships that didn't sink.. This one didn't sink the most !
@cocococo I cover ur reply with the blood of Jesus! And May it not attract Mods people amennnnnn!!!!

Nah. Not so fast. I never get angry, on social media, with people I don’t even know. On social media, we are all keyboard warriors. In real life, we would never act like anything you see here. Even if there appears to be bad blood between people here, I am very sure if they meet each other, they will laugh it off. Everything I post here is just for fun, even if it looks like an acerbic remark to a person. If anyone, including the person I scorn, takes it serious, na dem know o. . Na joke I dey o. While we await APL, such posts help douse the tension and distract us from thinking too much.

beef123:

Don’t go and improve your English; you don’t know that you’re a graduate. Be there writing English that wants to break our head. Even if this is an informal forum, can’t you construct something that is easy to read and understand? Just imagine if NNPC aptitude test involved us to write an essay. Be warned o.

GeNeRaToRBoi:
Buh wait ooo, oga @Jarus just left us like that without looking back. Even tho u gat better offer egbon, at least be socially responsible as you have always been and avail local man currently happening with this unending recruitment. Some of us attend your interview training for this job oooo, part of the resources will invested in this recruitment that won't just allow local man move on in peace.......

Is Jarus your father? What does he owe you?

olybaby50:
For those that are source specialist.
1. Are you aware that there was a meeting in Lagos yesterday in respect to releasing of APL
2. Are you aware that nothing is delaying the release of the APL except the GMD himself.
APL would drop this December as another meeting is expecting this coming week to finalize the process.
The group GMD is not happy that some people were able to manipulate some names in the list to be release, but there is nothing he can do about it. i have read from page 1 till this very last page and refused to comment because some won't appreciate it.
Mind you, i am not an applicant but my spouse is, for the EH.
Expect APL in December

APL is next year abeg. APL will come when no one expects. Make una rest for this matter na! Una nor dey tire? From Sept to Oct, to Nov, to Dec. This kind of things gets me annoyed.

When people, including NNPC staff, have already started planning on how to celebrate Christmas, you people are still expecting APL this year? Guys, please close the chapter of APL this year. We can reconvene to talk about APL come 2nd January 2020. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t spoil your December and festive celebrations with APL expectations. I have said my own.

Mlayidi:
APL will surely drop this month according to my source. Guys let us relax this recruitment will end soon(this month).

We are in already in the middle of November and no yet ALP; mehn, forget it till next year. No one has time to start employment in the festive period. See you guys next year. Bye.

TheExclusive:
The screen shot was taken within a minute of receiving it. Not time of posting on nairaland o o. When he should have been celebrating at least. #behaviouralinconsistency.

I think this solves the riddle. It is a scam and fake APL. We make jokes here and there on this forum, but for one to go on about this to create serious panic, making everyone feel that have NNPC did not take us, this is totally uncalled for. I think this guy totally deserves to be sacrificed to the gods as a burnt offering. Only his blood can atone for this grave sin.

Artexexes:
It's true guys. Dropped It was like a dream when I 1st saw it, I was busy sharing the testimony with family and friend before I remembered my Nairaland family. Although, I was almost sure of APL since day one, but all the cancellation rumors and silence from my contact began to make me doubt is it cancelled truly sef?

The journey of a thousand years ends one day..... Imela Chineke

January resumption, acceptance of offer Nover 30 deadline.

I return all the praise to you Baba God. Guys pls check ur emails

Dinwenu, a na m ekele gị!

Mehn, congrats o. It looks legit to me. But if you are scamming us, thunder will strike your forehead.

hafeezsemzy:
Good analysis but it doesn't justify anything about the amount. NNPC is not covering your expenses. They are paying based on their defined rate.

What about those who came from outside the country? How do you justify the 20k they received. My best guess is some received 3k since they used Abuja centers.

The fact that not everyone got the double or triple alert is enough to conclude without doubts that the pay was a mistake or reasons to do with list adjustment.

I get your overall point, but ayam not understanding the bolded statement. Was there any CBT in any location abroad? Wetin concern NNPC if, for example, people came all the way from Jamaica for interview?

RayOB1:
How can you be "scammed" out of money that was never urs to begin with, I wonder?
If it's naivety and the ppl who refunded were scammed, they haven't lost anything cos it wasn't theirs to begin with

How can you not see that!

Are we that useless in this country?
Have our parents, trainers and guardians failed so woefully that 2019 children can no longer distinguish between right and wrong?

Only smart words from TV Shows and sharp tongue from internet savagery, no character whatsoever.

These are unrepentant thieves, masking as graduate trainee candidates!

This is not about right or wrong. It’s about being wise. Whether you returned money or not, both options are neither right nor wrong, and nobody should be praised for hurriedly returning money to a source that was not confirmed. Is it because of the desperation for job that people are becoming saints overnight at the expense of sound reasoning? Are we not Nigerians again—who are used to seeing 419 schemes here and there? How can you return money sent to an unverified source, and you keep defending that even if you were scammed, you did the right thing?

As for the payment, there is what we call luck. The fact that you didn’t work for some money or you didn't deserve some money does not mean you shouldn't keep the money. People were lucky to receive double payments and triple payments, and this is how life generally is. No applicant deliberately scammed people of their money; the money simply came to them from NNPC who promised to send transport allowance. Whether it would be a one-time or multiple payment was not mentioned.

For people like Dangote and Otedola, do you know how much luck and easy money that came their way? So you think Dangote would have returned any easy money he received in this life, saying he did not work for it and it shouldn’t be his money? I understand people are trying to form saints here, but it is getting to the level of foolishness. Even if NNPC made mistake, was there a general SMS or email to all applicants that those paid excess should follow a procedure to return any money? Before now, all of NNPC’s messages to all applicants were both SMS and email. So why do you think NNPC will just contact only a few of the people paid extra, via only SMS, and ask them to return money? People need think before they do anything. I will say it again; even if NNPC found out that they overpaid some people, don’t you think an organized establishment like NNPC could have counted their loss and moved on? As far as I am concerned, the administration of the NNPC did not issue any directive for people to return money. Opportunists(whether they are private individuals or even NNPC staff, I don’t care) used this chance to scam people. People need to apply wisdom in life. No matter how insignificant the money may be to you, you should not help fraudsters achieve their goal. Any other bullshit comments supporting returning money to scammers will have their nairaland account suspended by me.

End of my story.

cocococo:
Meanwhile, those who did not return extra transport allowance but still got APL be balling.

Finally, when those who returned transport allowance later see free money again, and then you ask them whether they will return it. They will be like.
