So, this is it.
First of all, congratulations to all the successful candidates.
It has been a wonderful few months here. We got the closure, and just as expected, not everyone got their desired closure.
It is a difficult time, and it would feel as though this is the end of life, well, it isn't.
Life is not a sprint, it is a marathon, take it one step at a time.
Don't wait too long, missing out on APL is enough torture, don't add "waiting-on-APL-that-won't-come" to it. Everything is in your hands now, closure is here, close this chapter, and don't look back.
This is heartbreaking, I know, but remember, we didn't fall, we only tripped, and we'll go again.
I wish you good luck in everything you do, and I pray this serves as a catalyst to your urge for greatness.
Don't wait up guys!
Don't wait up!

number5:
Well, as the distinguished history keeper of this great association, it is my duty to present to us all in this grand event, the history of this thread and subsequently, that of the prestigious association of local men and women (AOLMAW) OF NNPC.
The thread was created by one of our very own @Dmainman on Wednesday, the 13th of march 2019 at exactly 2:39pm. It turned out that one of the most decorated government owned company had published an advert for vacancies in its various subsidiaries..
Till this very day, the number of persons who registered online for the recruitment is unknown, though some sources have stated something in the range of 800 thousand and/or above. Registration process was greatly marred by difficlties in uploading passports which made a good number of applicant to fall out of the race.
A month after the online registration closed, came the invite for a cbt test. It is rumoured among local men and women, that about 60000 persons wrote the cbt test all over the country in about 190 cbt test centers. The cbt test was considerably thought to be 'cheap' by a good number of local men and women while others felt it was a deliberate setup by the organizers as they were very aware of online platforms like this one that had dished out various test past questions with a lot of difficult samples. Yours faithfully, the distinguished historian wrote his cbt in one of the middle belt states, 7am and he was very excited as evident to the cordinators. He had looked forward to this for "years".
Invite for interview came less than a month after the cbt exams were conducted. It came with mixed feelings as joy sparkled the air for those who had received while those who did not receive, broke down amidst tears.
It is worthy to note that this period was crucial to the formation of the prestigious association of local men and women as it brought pioneers of the association into limelight, notable amongst these great men and women are:
Sir jarus, mosgoon, enireqx, teaser4, beeam, bobowaje, chasteguy, macgyver1, gbyms, csrockefeller, gbriels, mathology, sempumpingson woman, danxplore, mosphy4, klassd, 22general,larride, bodylicious, stevie55, benflash, enrypech, tejiri44, C1212, jobseeker, cybersecfreak, swargu, realisticj, greatken, sandieeee, kevlala, moogoogaipan, emmyteetosin, dorado, darella, geektrovert, sibabe thespark, souljar etc, special mentions to Xfire, and my humble self, number5.
Prior to a 9days interview experience conducted at the Nnpc towers, central business district abuja, Intelligent men and women displayed professionalism and decorum as we all prepared towards the experience of a life time. It can be very well recalled that it was at this junction that a certain mosaic4gooners, ex mckinsey, way ahead of the world dude came into limelight. He offered to share a room with anyone interested at sheraton hotels and towers just a few minuites drive from central area, abuja. It remains unknown if anyone took his offer, but that young man would go a long way to make ripples and leave his marks on the sands of time in this thread.
Interview came and went and the AOLMAW was born, chasteguy with the memes, teaser4 with the cut edge pidgin, jarus with drop-dead composure , sempumping with the pumping sauce, beeam with the agbero mentality, and ehmmmm, mosgoon with LOMS 
It was also at this point were LOMS was making air waves that burnt sauces, zobo and checking of something was introduced. The aforementioned, are the non-negligible signature of the members of the association of local men and women.
At some point, other notable persons joined the race and added soured sauce (ladyjane, ladyheaven, ademmy, cliffwood, tonyhopkins, easymoneysniper, timilehinpeter, etc)
The access bank theory propounded by larride and the one percent theory by flowolf09 remains the official theory of this great association till date, though the journey has been characterized by notable players jumping ship, most notable from the Access bank theory ship (popularly known as ABT) players like beeam, darella, chasteguy, swargu, flow09, bobowaje, sempumpingson, enireqx, cocococo and its founder, larride.. The impact of the ABT was most felt at the time when a certain anyam 'king in the north' terhemba ran rampage and did great havoc among the members of the association. Special mention in that regard, to cocococo, a brother who was massively hit by king anyams sniper and he 'lost all his ability to can'.
Massive shots by king anyam, and his two foot-soldiers: farouk freedom and lazarus maikalu, ensured that even someone as rigid as jarus confessed that its not an easy life for a local man trying to can.
We can't forget the bromance that broke out between members of the association in the course of the run of time. Notably experienced were between jiang and pumpingson, chasteguy and ladyjane, etc
Brethren, ladies and mentlegen, what is left of the recruitment is undoubtedly a few days but the periods that spanned from inception till date is one wich will never be forgotten by the members of this prestigious thread, NNPC HQ, Nairaland community and the Ghost readers.
If you're years into the future reading this post, no matter were the eagle landed, be very well assured that we made a name for ourselves, we carved a niche, we made our prints in the sands of our time and against all odds, every single member of this prestigious association went on to have a wonderful and successful career.
At this junction, i would crave our indulgence to observe a minuite silence for one of our senior brother/colleague who lost his life in the course of the run of time (NNPC HR STAFF WHO DIED 3rd September 2019, MR DEWARI AYE) A minuite silence.
Special mentions to the official dreamer of the association, all local men and women i failed to mention, all the ghost readers, and all who had to put up with our attitudes, banter and jokes whilist looking for ONLY serious info. This post would not be complete if i dont chip in my official meme (find attached)
Yours faithfully, i remain the history keeper of the prestigious ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL MEN AND WOMEN (AOLMAW)
number5, first of my name, reader of books and keeper of knowledge of the time stream. Special mention to the AOLMAW (jarus, mosgoon, bobowaja, etc. Make una no vex oh, can't mention everyone), number5 in particular, you brought me out of Ghost Mode, you are that good, thanks for this wonderful piece. Thanks to everyone who has in one way or another, extinguished the fires burning in my heart everytime someone in this same thread sets one in it. LOL. A certain man said "No love lost, no love found". On this thread, you'll find love, just to lost it to find it again, and to lost it again, and find it again, and... I've always wondered what words like "Mixed feelings, bitter-sweet, etc" meant, but I assure you now, that by this thread, I can not only describe them, but draw them (and label their parts) if you give me a paper and a pencil, thanks a lot guys.  It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I pray we make it to the end. Shout out to my families in these areas that make my CV: Mathematics Kaduna state Ekiti state Kwara state Kogi state Bayelsa state. GT|2nd_July|Kaduna|TF_Paid_in_full. Peace y'all. |
