Nigerians greatest problems all come to play here. poverty, unemployment, corruption and "irrelevant ego". First, I for one know the amount of money oil companies put into settling host communities on regular basis, funny enough host communities never get satisfied, in this we can relate to poverty.
Second, if a young graduate having pulled through university and even getting a masters can barely get a job, what is hope of a young ijaw man hasn't seen the four walls of a university and has no skill, tell me why wouldn't they be militants. Honestly, they have nothing to lose, in this we can relate to unemployment.
Third, we all know the oil producing states take a chunk of the allocations from the federal government, since time memorial what have these states done with their allocations, for crying out loud oil companies cannot develop the state, that is the principal function of the state government since these companies pay their taxes. In this case we can relate to corruption.
Fourth, is the issue of "irrelevant ego". How will you attack and expect not to be attacked. "Wetin concern old woman wey dey her house jeje with militants way go find trouble". In as much as the communities might hide these young men, the military should know better.in this we can relate to "irrelevant ego"
Lastly, it then strikes me hard when some folks say goodluck Jonathan caused the present situation of the country just to suit their political affiliation. NIGERIAN'S PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY OVER 50 YEARS OF GROSS MISMANAGEMENT AND CORRUPTION!!! Which includes Mr goodluck's tenure and all the super rich military men u see. Let's stop using ethnic sentiments and propaganda to play the blame game. Instead let's demand as one for the right things be done for once from the local government, state government and Federal government.

He should have been expelled straight away as I'm sure he really doesn't want a degree from the conclave of ignoramus that he thinks the UNILAG Senate is. Raw bravery without tact and sense is absolute lunacy. He deserved what he got.
If only we had less people like you and more like him, Nigeria and the whole of African would be Great.

Yeah sorry, I have been off Nairaland for some days. I'm just seeing this.

First of all, I should mention that it wasn't Dragnet so things might be somewhat different for you guys. Yes, we had disciplined-based questions, engineering for me; in addition to standard Numerical and Verbal sections.

The test was pretty basic and infact suspiciously simple, and I'm sure that was what caught many people unawares, because we were all expecting Dragnet-esque questions but were faced with other seemingly minor stuff that one would normally overlook as being too simple to ask. By this, I'm referring mostly to the discipline-based (Engineering) one, which was essentially Physics and Applied Mechanics, asking questions about momentum and true/false questions about if a body collides with another body, will it move in this or that direction? Those kinds of questions sha, if you get my drift. But we were preparing for more tech and advanced stuff.

In my opinion, that section was biased towards mechanical engineering guys as those elements in the questions were found, one way or the other, in the course of our BEng degrees.

The English and Maths bits were about the same usual ones you would find on just about any aptitude test. But this one now that Dragnet is taking over again this year, I fear that the format might be different. I took Dragnet for ExxonMobil the year before and it wasn't so great. In fact, truth be told, it was horrible for me. LOL!
Time was just flying before my eyes and I didn't know what was happening. That was my first attempt sha and I had not even graduated at that time. So maybe na why!

But judging from the two, Dragnet was more complicated and time was shorter. In this vein, I uploaded some sample Dragnet tests last year. You can find them on the ExxonMobil scholarship thread from last year; page 8 for the Numerical and Verbal sections. I don't know about discipline-based tests for Dragnet and sadly, I do not have any sample papers. But I believe the Numerical and verbal ones would be good practice for you in terms of speed and accuracy.
I should also say that after laying hold of these samples some time last year, I found some of the questions from the Mobil test of the previous year there so it's worth going over.

I wish you all the best.

Apologies for the epistles. LOL! Let me know if you need further clarification. Cheers!

Hello Daniel, 9ce write up, really insightful. Just a silly question by the way, " How do you know dragnet is setting the CBT this year ? "
