ZALA64:
Good evening dear Nairalanders, I have a story to share with you and I will appreciate your candid advice

I have a junior sister of about 21 years of age, finished secondary school in 2019, tried gaining admission but didn't get eventually, also did A level but at the end, there was nothing to show for, this isn't cause she is a dullard but something Sha must end up something, she applied for another A level at Unilag, and was pushing through not until the news of her pregnancy came in, she was two months gone when I got to know, I really tried to persuade her to abort because I was concerned about her Education and our parent feeling but she insisted and I allowed her take her decision, we informed my dad and mum then the big issue starts, right now my dad does not want to have anything to do with her, she is currently living at my dad's junior brother house

The most annoying part to my dad was that she got pregnant to a Christian which my dad would not approve of, even when they tried to talk to him multiple, right now, he does not care if she exist or not, all he knows is she can't live under his roof anymore

I am the elder sister and my consign goes beyond the religion issue, the boys mother is some sort of hell, didn't like my sister and she looks really fetish, the whole family looked cursed to me, the guy is the only one that managed to finish ND and he is currently learning Mechanic after his ND Program, I have tried to persuade my sister to not have the intention of getting married to the guy now, because first she's young, second how would she feed and third that family is a no no, the red flags are just too glaring, Her strong head is just too much which is why I'm putting it out, if she's reading comments from another person maybe she'd pick something, I have invited her as a guest to Nairaland and she would be seeing all your advices. Kindly help us.

Thank you.

There is so many wrongs and not just on her part too. The fact that your concern goes beyond the religious aspect it’s a big wrong. The fact that you want her to abort the pregnancy is a huge wrong. I would assume that you are Muslim since you brought up the religion part, this will mean you and your sister are terrible Muslims. A Muslim woman would know not to associate with a Christian man (only our men can marry Christian women). That part alone is a sin as she has gone against Allah SWT’s command. Fornication is also a sin. But so is abortion (same as murder) and so is making religion take a back step as a Muslim.
Too many wrongs cannot make a right. The deed has already been done. Your sister needs to keep the pregnancy. You and your sister need to educate yourselves more on Islam. Your sister needs to end her relationship with the man and she needs to repent. Your father’s reaction is understandable but with time he’ll come around so long as he sees your sister is repentant in her actions and her words.
Religion (both Islam and Christianity) is very important because it has a blueprint of how we should live our lives even in this century. Being a Muslim or a Christian by name is not enough, knowing your religion deeply is.

Good morning and merry Christmas everyone.

Please I'm in dilemma and really need some good advice.
This guy and I have been on this relationship thing for 5 months now with occasional misunderstandings here and there. The first one was because he visited me and refused to go after the time he said he would leave, when he finally left I got back home from work only for the security to call me that I have a visitor at the main gate and behold it was him.
I allowed him stay the night because he's a nice guy, really good in bed and also helps in the house to do stuff like wash the dishes and cooking.

Fast forward to December 15th we agreed he comes over and we spend the Christmas at my place then go to his place from 27th so we can enjoy the new year there. As we agreed, he came to my place on 17th of December and has not made any moves to leave or for us to go to his place. I am moved to create this thread because I got home from work yesterday and noticed more of his things have been arranged in the wardrobe with his shoes arranged by the front door..

Please how do I address this? I can't go on like this. He eats a lot. Snores also.
Is relationship not supposed to be the other way around why is he moving into my apartment like I'm going to marry him
We both stay in Abuja.

Mods please kindly move to Frontpage.

He stayed over, you complained. He left, you complained, now he’s back and you are complaining. You better decide whether you want this relationship or not.

Search from history of nairand shows instrument cluster could be an issue here

Thanks for the response boss. Are they on this thread? I’ve also seen about the instrument cluster but then for others it changing the speed sensor was the solution. Also what is the explanation behind it working for few minutes after the sensor was replaced?

larrixauto2017:

Well done boss. I have an issue with my speedometer. It used to work on and off before and then it stopped completely. When it’s working, the gear shit is smooth but when it’s not working, the gear doesn’t go beyond gear 3. It was diagnosed and the diagnostics said it’s the front left speed sensor. I changed that and it worked for a minute or so and then it stopped working giving us error c1201 and c1406. Also the abs, brake, check engine and vsc and traction light is on constantly. When the speedometer works(before before), only the brake light disappears. The rest are still on. Do you have an idea what the issue is?
My car’s model is Corolla 2010
@GAZZUZZ @Kingreign abeg I need your help

cocococo:
Interpret my statement well. Even if I don’t make it, other EH applicants will, and they will be your bosses.

Let me take a page from your book, negativity. Someone like you I highly doubt will make the EH list. Just saying. Your negativity is through the roof.
Nobody should come for my head.

Originakalokalo:
Where are the new NNPC staff?

You guys should give us updates concerning the recruitment.

.....or have you signed a confidentiality agreement online?

Yes we have

Feex:
Congrats to all new GTs.

Prepare your mind for the following:

(1)The coronavirus will most likely affect resumption date. State govts across the nation are banning large gatherings and minimising physical contacts as much as possible. It is clear your orientation will be postponed.

(2) The problem is further compounded by the extremely low oil prices which have not even bottomed out yet. Nigeria is currently producing at a loss with the current prices, and we are not even able to sell our crude. No oil firm recruits during periods of low oil prices. NNPC boss has emphasized the need to cost cuts to.produce at current prices. Most companies fire or place employees on furlough. So the orientation will be moved to much later date when or if things stabilise.


(3) You are yet to receive official appointment letter. You have only received a notification of success. By law, no company is not legally bound to recruit any candidate that has not yet received an offer letter. Even with official letters, there has been several cases where govts or insitiutions withdraw offer letters even after resumption with no consequences. So the current case is even more precarious.

I therefore foresee a situation where the new GTs are put on reservation list for several months or years. A worse case scenario is that the recruitment eventually be cancelled or extremely streamlined. Forget sentiments, this is a real scenario right here.

I therefore ask all new GTs to hope and pray this crisis pass as soon as possible. The longer it stays, the less chances you will be recruited.

This shows what you know about the whole process. You don’t even know that GTs have already been given official letter or apl. Also GTs are no longer part of the recruitment because they’ve already been recruited hence the federal government notice on recruitments doesn’t affect them. Only your first point is valid.

BenFlash:
Oga all tribes in Nigeria are inherently nepotistic, it is the way the average Nigerian is wired and that includes Yoruba. Let's not even go there. If you mention U.B.A. for Igbos, then one can be tempted to mention the defunct Oceanic Bank for Yorubas or the defunct Platinum Habib Bank for the Hausa/fulanis. Abeg lets not go that route, it is a bottomless pit.

If you look very hard for errors in a simple situation, you are more often than not going to find one. Aguiyi Ironsi did something in the 60s, you held on to it but I am sure you won't talk about the inauguration of the chief Imam of Imo state at the state house that just happened few days ago because it does not suit your divisive narrative.

Charle!!!! So Imo state inaugurated chief imam!! That is shocking to me. I’ve never seen an Igbo Muslim before. Tells you no be everything pesin know. But the inauguration is a huge development.
But come to think of it, the fact that the government inaugurated it doesn’t mean the people accepted it. Government has a way of sidelining the people to do things that will appeal to the outside people.

� � �. Are we going to the Towers to return the acceptance letter or something else?

You could. Or you could use courier service, that is if you trust them enough.

Fellydonis:
Imo. APL RECEIVED!!! Some hours ago

Congrats bro. No waste time to sign oooo

Fellydonis:
Congrats bro. Still waiting for mine. I'm in Imo.

Same to you bro. It’ll come to you too very soon

favouredpikin:
Congrats still waiting for my own call sha

Thanks bro. It’ll meet you soon.

favouredpikin:
Am from Imo state
Did the courier service firm call on you on phone

Yeah they did. Had to go and meet the guy to collect

favouredpikin:
Dmamasboy have you received APL because am yet to

I have. Yesterday evening. That was when Kaduna Apl arrived. Which state are you from?

A lot of southerners don’t have northern exposure. I studied with a lot of them and the first thing they say to me when I tell them I’m from the north is `I didn’t know that there are hausa people like you’. Just like the western world think of Africa as a jungle with it’s people wearing animal skin and hunting, so do the southerners think of the northerners as village people or cattle rearers living in their huts. Like I said "lack of exposure".
There was a time when the northerners weren’t interested in western education. That time is long gone. When you speak of Emir Sanusi’s speech, be rest assured it’s not directed to anybody from the north who applied for NNPC recruitment with their first class and second class uppers. It is directed at the northerners who don’t put enough effort and still expect to get something. And if you ask me, that is not just particular to the north. I don’t know the exact census but I’d think the population of the north is almost the population of south south, south east and south west combined. That means that it’s obvious we’ll have a large number of undereducated people who’d expect more than what they worked for or deserved. Emir Sanusi is from the north and his concern is for the north.
True there are some states with more number of well educated people but that doesn’t mean that the best from the state with the less well educated people won’t be more than the best from the state with the highest number of well educated people. Those Zamfara and Kebbi people you see as illiterates will shock you

Licht:
The phrase "Federal Character" means merit has been sacrificed already! Hence you can never claim that the any process that is subject to federal character is on merit, because federal character implies that some people who are less performing, say, from the educationally less developed States, will find their way in, above candidates who totally flawed them from the educationally advanced states.

How do you deny a candidate from the south-south who scored 80% and allow a candidate from the north-east who scored 40%, and still have the audacity to say such a process was on merit? No! It's not. We've already used federal character to sacrifice merit in order to favour some folks. Ditto for why cut-off mark for entry into the Federal Government Colleges varies. A candidate from Zamfara State will have a cut-off mark of 23% & a candidate from Ogun State will have a cut-off mark of 85%, and you call that process merit-based? So, such a process lacks merit from the beginning once federal character principles apply.

Ask candidates that went for interview at the Towers and they will tell you for a fact that you hardly hear names from the geographical "upper" regions of the country when names were being called in the amphitheater. It was claimed that some powerful folks were not happy with that & decided to "adjust" the process to aid more people from those "upper" regions of the country to come in. For a process that started speedily to now take nine months between conclusion of interviews to issuance of APLs....

Lastly, note the use of the phrase "National Spread" which the NNPC used in its communique, it showed a desperation to validate the process. They've turned it to a game of luck.

So you feel wronged or some people feel wronged that some northerners got in and they didn’t hence the explanation of federal character and how it opposes merit?!
This thought is only brought about because you somehow feel superior to some people from the northern part of the country. That is messed up.
You think every northerner is educationally poor? You think your certificate is above the northerners? Knowledge is knowledge period. Maybe you wouldn’t even fare against the northerners you feel superior to.
So long as people keep getting this type of mentality, we can never be one as a nation.

Anybody from Kaduna that have received Apl through the courier?

cocococo:
Don’t worry ehn. Your APL is coming. Keep on hoping.

See this one . I already have my success mail

My fellow GTs, have you guys all received apl? I’m still yet to

inrainbows:
what time did you get yours?

4:14 pm

Guys notifications are being sent to your emails. Check them now. I’ve seen mine. Too busy to post proof. Alhamdulillah

So I heard from a little bird that the National Assembly have given NNPC till 19th of this month to bring out the apl list. Na bird tell me oooo

Guys please does anyone know of HCP recruitment and how their questions are?

Those screaming money laundering wouldn’t it have been them contacting the double and tripple alertees immediately instead of giving them time enough to have spent it and then ask for it?!
This seems more like just incompetence.

Why is it that the majority of people saying they shouldn’t refund are single alertees?

Gmajor:
They help nnpc to recruit contract staff

Thanks boss

Please guys does anybody know of Xthaffers Outsourcing. If they are credible or even real?

[quote author=scobyy2007 post=82359296][/quote]I did hear something like that save for the next week stuff. A lot of influence on the recruitment which is threatening the whole process. Hence the possibility of postponement.

I keep hearing something. I keep hearing that some people have been called. Na hear I hear ooo.
