NEZON:
pls who have idea when GT could be expecting there Alp.pls can some one help me and reply my question!!

Andreblaze365:


I totally understand you, Gee. You no wan hear story

You know what's up...

hillaboi:


So apparently, all the 1050 GTs have been notified?

I don't know. But most likely. Today is 11th, just above 2 weeks remaining, so I guess 200+ should be able to submit by 27th

Andreblaze365:



As at today, over 700 have submitted. Not all went themselves though. They accept courier, they also accept proxy submission. If going to Abuja isn't convenient, use a reputable courier - like DHL that you can track your package every step of the way.

OK. Thanks so much. I couldn't trust anyone so I went there myself...

QuietOne5:
Good day house, please do I need to physically go to NNPC to drop my letter stating that I've accepted their offer or can I mail it to them. Thank you for your prompt response @xfire @Jarus please I need an urgent answer

Please go to the Towers yourself and submit it. You need to sign on a submission list. I submitted on Monday, more than 600 people have already submitted the acceptance letter. Yes. Six hundred and thirty something as at Monday (for those who peddle lies of 400 GTs).

Go physically

Congrats my brother! I'm glad you finally got it, one week after

favouredpikin:

Ladyjane5657:

Ladyjane5657:


Nope. I was actually a GT hopeful

Ladyjane5657:


Blush.. Tankiu

But I'm very serious minded. U will understand when u see me serious

By the way, I had a dream where EH got their Apl..

You are waiting for EH I guess. They stated in the release that EH would come next. See NNPC Twitter handle for the update

Ladyjane5657:
Am I the only one who doesn't know how to join in this argument??
Haven't been more bored and clueless in my entire stay on this thread.

Why do people keep choosing to argue over sensitive issues like this? Next thing now, ethnic rivalry! Puleeeeeezeeeee y'all should shift!

NEWSFLASH
I'm still looking for a good job that pays well and won't stress my life
BTW, if u tinking I'm not serious minded, wait till u employ me

I like you already. I am intentionally skipping those ethnicity-oriented comments. Meanwhile, I really feel you are not 'serious-minded'...

Some of the evils of quota system

In 2014, I and several other Nigerian University graduates had been shortlisted to write the Presidential Special Scholarship (PRESSID) designed exclusively for First Class Nigerian graduates who wanted to pursue both Masters and PhD in any top 25 Universities in the world. President Goodluck Jonathan had set the scheme up and the idea was to build a strong team of brilliant Nigerians who will come back to serve the country years later.

There were a little above one thousand of us who wrote the exam at CHAMS, Abuja. At the time, I was already lecturing in UNN so most of my friends (who were also my colleagues) enrolled. 16 of us in total. It was a computer-based test so we knew our fate instantly. I had scored 94% in the exam. In fact, 15 of us from UNN scored between 80 and 97%. Man! We came out of the exam hall completely joyous. We were so sure we had got the scholarship. And we were right. Sometime in February 2015, the list of 101 successful candidates was shortlisted in the National Dailies. Fifteen of us were on that list. I had applied to Princeton University, Imperial College London and University of Toronto already. That phase of our lives was glorious.

Fast forward to March 2015, Goodluck lost the elections to Mr. Buhari. That was where things started to take a new turn. Shortly after Mr Buhari was sworn in, he had recalled the list and complained that there was no single northerner on it. He believed it was an agenda of the South. Right before our eyes, meritocracy was shortchanged for Federal character. It was first like a joke, but we all lost that huge scholarship. It was worth about $250,000 per person (tuition and living expenses inclusive across 5 years). Before then I had little faith in the country but when this happened, I became weary of the country.

Thankfully, later that year, I got a full scholarship from University of Toronto for my Masters and PhD (6 years in total). Of those other 14 friends of mine, 13 of them have also moved since then - US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Japan etc. Obviously we moved on but truth is, the life we have now was afforded to us by the Government of another country, many of which will seduce you with permanent residency and citizenship afterwards.

Any nation that shortchanges merit for anything else will fall. Nigeria has the brightest people, yet, we are where we are (in Osibanjo's voice).
These people will corroborate my story as they were also winners of the PRESSID scholarship

These people will corroborate my story as they were also winners of the PRESSID scholarship: Odoeze Jideofor Okagu Ogadimma Olikagu Sylvia Chisom Hyacinth Ali David Chukwuma Izuogu Samuel Olisa Chima Eke and others.

Sad!

@POLITICSNGR

The Spokesman for the Atiku Campaign, Mr. Segun Showunmi has released a statement regarding a song released by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC titled 'Atiku is a thief'.

The Statement read;

We need to restate as directed by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of The PDP that the 2019 election should be issue based, deviod of slandering and name calling.

We hold the view that unguarded narrative hurts the country and further divides us as a people.

Some of the consequences of previous mismanaged campaign efforts is perhaps the reason why their is little or no internal cohesion with its attendant security challenges.

Elections comes every 4 years in our country and if great effort is not taken, we could hurt the country and its people needlessly and invariably our democracy.

We have to sign up to these ideals, we can campaign without recourse to hate speech, liabel, lies, undue criminalization of people and each other.

On our part we have signed up to running an issue based campaign and if it is not too hard for the Muhammad Buhari administration and the APC to understand, we call on you to do the same.

There is greater value in doing so. Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth and we owe it to ourselves and the black race to be above board.

We are trying to present our idea on how the country should be led and not interested in anything else. And by so doing, set Nigeria and its people on the path of working again.

https://politicsngr.com/just-atiku-reacts-thief-song-released-apc/

I have never liked or supported APC and Buhari. I wasn't much keen about Atiku either. But this class act and response has won me over totally. This man, Atiku, his campaign team and PDP at large are light-years ahead of whatever APC and their figurehead can put forward

echelons:
Npower, just like Market Moni is just a way this government has devised to pay peanuts to Nigerians, keep their dreams limited, and make them subservient.
The beneficiaries of the programs will tell you "Half a loaf is better than nothing". But come to think of it, what does the pay do for them? Nothing, but keeping them alive to hope for the next peanuts.

Looking at it critically, those that have been receiving Npower funds, how have their lives improved?
How many of those youths even participate in the community service that's attached to the program.

What if rather than give 1Million people 30K monthly, you set up 30 thousand entrepreneurs with 1million naira, for 12 sets.

Same money will be spent, but the impact will be more profound.

That's Peter Obi's position has always been spot on.

It only takes a smart government to decipher what will grow the economy. Sadly this administration is far from smart.

You are smart... But then, remember Obi and Atiku are enterpreneurs and businessmen. Their job creation ideologies will definitely be above a dictator and an academician. Those guys want to grow the economy, not give peanuts

tigerclaws:
if I'm mark I'll buy all their shares and kick their asses out of my company


Why will a company allow a total stranger to have upto 30% shares on his sweat?

if na me maximum you can have is 15-20%

make someone no come tomorrow start dragging my company with me

You know this is why Africans never build any company that lasted centuries (Sit-tight mindset/syndrome)? Even Zuck will put his company's success ahead of his position. By the way, the investors are not coming for his stake in FB, neither will he ever grow poor. They just need a better and more transparent executive to pilot Facebook to greater heights. With Zuck in power thus far, FB shares have lost much value this year...

Congratulations in your projections... So, when he wins 90% in the NC, SE and SS, 70% in the North, he must win SW to be confirmed president? Keep deluding yourself

otukpo:
Atiku need to pick a running mate from the South West.

That will give him an easy ride to Aso rock come 2019.
Already, the Northern votes will go to Atiku 70%.

The South Eastern / South South votes will go to Atiku 90%
North central votes 90%

Where Buhari still has many sympathizers is in the South
West. And that is mainly for Osibanjo.

A strong credible candidate for vp slot from the South West
will scatter their votes

The South East can be given Secretary to the government.
That will do for the region for now.

The collective target for now should be to send Buhari back
to Daura.
