Just thinking out loud

Could it be that NLNG have grouped all the AC candidates into pools and it's based on this classification that feedbacks are being sent.
Could it be that those that got their closure already were in the first pool which comprises of those that had their AC in the first week of the AC across all centres i.e abuja, lagos and PH.

Could it be that in the near future some more mails will be sent to candidates in the second pool which comprise of those that had their AC in the second week across all centres i.e abuja, lagos and PH.

What am I rambling about sef.....when you r left in the dark for so long (without closure a day can feel like a thousand years ) you notice how your thoughts amplify perhaps until you see the LIGHT

Dfavouredone:
Brother thanks so much for the support you gave to us on this thread. I look forward to seeing and hugging you.

Your selflessness is profound. #TheLastOracleStanding.

I pray for success for those still waiting.

Freeradical, where are u? My brother in the struggle.

Congrats my brother. Finally your wait is over. Unfortunately I still have to wait to hear what feedback NLNG has for me. Whatever the outcome, I still praise and exalt my God above all.

Congrats to all the other hopefuls that have got their success mails.

Prinzofparis:
day 1 of June 2016 is a beautiful day over here,...I hope day 3 will be a happier day..

This guy, are you trying to tell us something. Too bad you are not an oracle

I guess THIS IS NOT THE WEEK AFTERALL

artmedia:
It's much closer than you think. Again, the revolution will be televised. Have faith!

#NuffSaid
#Shalom

heheheheh......he has still not said THIS IS NOT THE WEEK

Someone said THIS WEEK IS THE WEEK and the Oracle with his diviner artmedia have not come out yet to say THIS IS NOT THE WEEK in their usual fashion.



My people what could this mean??

NLNG una see una life? Now I'm being offered an opportunity to attend a prestigious and world renowned institution (as far as my field is concerned) and I'm still dreaming of NLNG and waiting on them to tell me my fate. If I knew for sure, I would pass on this opportunity. But since I don't, obviously I can't not pursue this with all diligence in case I don't make it. I know the verdict is almost out according to the oracles but I don't think it will be out in time for me to make my decision simple and straightforward. By anything a week into June I imagine I won't be able to back out of this opportunity without implications which I would really like to avoid. The same June we're waiting for (unless NLNG calls very early June or even earlier). So you see the "move on with your life and answer whenever NLNG calls" advice won't work so well here. Some would say this is a good kind of dilemma to be in. But it is still a dilemma.

NLNG #makawhy?

Leave no stone unturned to secure that other opportunity. It's what I meant each time I said that NLNG is only a means to an end and not the end itself. If along the line they decide to call then you can choose which path to follow. It's a shame this recruitment had to take this awful route.

My advice to NLNG is to send out mails informing everyone left of their fate as far as this GT recruitment is concerned. Many would not mind hearing they have secured the job but will resume in Q30(pardon my sarcasm). Personally if such applied to me na to take long vacation outside the shores of this shithole of a country and come back as soon as work wants to resume. With the uncertainty that trails dis wait however liver no go gree me embark on such adventures.

Hello House,
Please, I have this issue that I believe people in the house can help me reason along with. I am at the verge of being confirmed at my place of work and also just got my TRV to relocate with my hubby in Canny land. I want to know if there can be any future implication if I resign ahead of my confirmation since I will still be needing a reference letter from my employer in the nearest future but if I wait for confirmation, it will delay my travelling as I will need to give a one month notice before I can resign and I know confirmation doesn't add any financial value to my salary but just changing my employment status and then some other salient future financial benefits. I want to ask please if not waiting for confirmation can hinder my chance of getting such reference letter in the future or if there is any other implication. I work in a Bank.Thank you

One of my previous employers denied me letter of reference because I didn't stay up till confirmation before I left them. According to them it's part of their HR policy. So be advised before you make your decision.

It seems the last part of this wait is the longest. It really may be coming to an end.

Phillips Consulting -__-

What do you know about Philips consulting. Are they taking over the GT recruitment from this stage on for NLNG. Abeg help us with info...this place dry pass Sahara and kalahari desert combined

Badema:
Household Survey participation.

This one wey philips consulting remember us so e be like say something is up. Last time they sent a survey like this they followed up with feedback on the NNPC test.

Oga kenosky you are sighted
Well done sir, any better for the boys and girls

NPComplete:
Yeah. I reckon the government needs to do more to guarantee the efficacy of their current strategy. They need to start making laws to expedite the creation of more refineries in the hopes that it actually drives prices down.
Come to think of it, must refineries be humongous contraptions capable of processing thousands of barrels of crude per day before they are considered worthy of investment and encouragement by presiding authorities? I mean some of our less-than-scrupulous fellow citizens have since perfected the art of illegal refining of crude, while looking over their shoulders, and some of their distillates have ended up in the market. Isnt there a way to encourage people to devise similar, but better designed, contrivances under legal oversight, quality control and regulation? They may not be able to produce quantities that will rival Dangote refinery but the sheer ubiquity of such springing up, if encouraged, will ensure continuous supply. The advantages are manifold

1. More jobs will be created as even SMEs will be set up solely for that purpose
2. Jobs will be created in even rural areas based on their proximity to oil wells as extracted oil can easily be transported nearby for local refining using the easiest mode of conveyance available. Unlike the sort of ridiculous situations we have now where oil producing areas suffer worst fuel shortages than non-oil producing communities.
3. It will reduce pressure on our foreign reserves quickly since there will be no need to source for foreign exchange to import fuel.
4. It will just stimulate the economy leading to more usage of our ports and inland waterways. Crude can be loaded into barges down south and shipped up the River Niger to different places in the north for local refining. Even Onitsha river port will feel less redundant. And since crude is less inflammable than fuel, it is a safer to transport and the highly inflammable end product will need minimal movement on the road before getting to consumers. The need for transporting through pipelines which are prone to sabotage will be reduced ensuring reliability of supply.
5. The byproducts of the refining will also be used to stimulate local economy or sold to other areas where it is in high demand. Petrochemicals can be used to produce fertilizers for local agriculture; lubricants for local use, etc....

The way I see it, it is safer to bet on numerous refineries with smaller capacities than one ginormous one requiring intricate pipeline systems that can be easily blown to smithereens by any ragtag group in the name of correcting perceived slights. It will be easier and better to get 1000 one-thousand-litter capacity fuel producing refineries around the country than a one-million-litter capacity refinery. The former can be completed within a year. The latter is usually prone to bureaucracies and takes a longer time to complete and still ends up putting the wealth of the nation in the hands of the already affluent few.

I couldn't agree any more with you. Your analysis is spot on. My only concern is that the government should hasten the PIB which is the statute that will regulate all the activities you mention above. Without that we may just have put the cart before the horse.

Ashleee baby, you never sleep?

It won't be nice for us to just abandon this ship just yet pending the call. We can come up with ways to make the thread more interactive. So we get to know ourselves much better. Whether NLNG or not I see in this thread potential great men and ladies.

Good to hear from artmedia...the man that communes directly with oracles . It feels great to know that this long recruitment is coming to an end. My gut feeling too tells me that by June we shall all know our fates (too bad I dnt hav an oracle to consult ). I'd suggest we all keep our fingers crossed and wait for that blessed day to arrived.

I said blessed because no matter how it turns out, if all these while we really hoped on God to give us this NLNG then we must accept his holy will IN ALL THINGS. Go through the NLNG thread of 2007 and face this sudden reality that not all the refugees shall enter Nigeria.

I trust God with all my life. I've fought well on this race and I made it this far. That is enough for me. Going further than here is left for the author of my life to decide....afterall he is the one who writes my script...I only play it out.

So fellaz June it is...

@MrSneh,

I have watched the Channels clip and this got me thinking. Rather than fold hands and watch other competitors spring up like Olokola and Brass would it make sense for NLNG to acquire them and run them as full subsidiaries of NLNG if Train 7 is being delayed because of Political intrigues?

Why not acquire Olokola and Brass? I am sure NNPC may be willing to sell for cheap considering that all other investors in these white elephant projects are pulling out?
The Directors of these acquisitions will be top managers from NLNG just like NNPC seconded Oga Inuwa.
Approving the acquisition, maybe difficult but afterwards, NLNG seconded Directors (who should be majorly NLNG staff and not any of the secondees from the NLNG shareholders) can " somehow" approve expansion of their 100% owned subsidiaries without all the headaches that come with seeking all stakeholders' approval for Trains 7, 8, 9 et al. They will then get more dividends and gradually make Nigeria become number one in Gas exportation.

It will be easier for NLNG to run because of the experience garnered. NNPC will know that they still have 49% of 100% in the companies and Nigeria will benefit from more money.

There will also be more GT recruitments. Looolz.

Can anyone explain to me how the "somehow" can work? We will send the best answer to Oga Babs. Here is your assignment for the weekend.

The next one shall be from Baba Addict!

Your suggestion is good but would be very difficult to be actualised. The reason is because NLNG is a JV company and imagine what the probability of all four shareholders of NLNG agreeing to making this supposed acquisition a reality. Remember also that buying over those companies you mention will involve a huge capital investment and there is also the question of additional investment to get it up to production state where it can start raking in the cash. The management of these subsidiaries will be the least of the problem here as Nigeria has more than capable hand. Coughing up the cash is where the problem is. I'm not sure all four parties will ever agree to cough out that kind of money in this our current economic melee. Even NNPC need it's share of the profit from NLNG as Nigeria is in dire need of funds to actualise it's budget.
Though it's still a very good ideas sha..
.maybe it may just fly in d end

MrSneh:
The CIAs have begun

You nailed it bro! Code cracked.

Badema:
Wow I pray you get it resolved as soon as possible!

I hope you know the nature of the containers @forkadict is into....ask well oo before you go cut share inside another man sin!

majekdom2:
nawa ooo. Make dem hire you for nothing What do you want to hear again? That it has been cancelled or put on hold. Well, if you will get a different response, Fine. I hope someone in Hr can engage you.

Guy, we are just going about in circles here (much to the joy of ezinne1990 ) so I think we shud just wrap it up here. You dont just see NLNG culpable in this awkward situation the 2013 GT recruitment is currently in. Read my earlier submissions and you will see where that I blame NLNG for not tieing every knot before going ahead to advertise for GT recruitment. They should have budgeted for all these bottlenecks and be able to make quick decisions in the right direction where there are unforeseen hiccups. The major reason they are recruiting is for the continuity of their company. If i meet their skill, attitude and qualification I will be selected and if I dont I will be dropped its as simple as that. The day they floated that advert on the web and we applied we have become stakeholders in this process (because they cant run the company into the future without employing fresh talents) so brother I understand you want to act all understanding but sometime its good to let people know where they have shortcoming so they can improve on that and become better. I know @NLNG will appreciate constructive criticism and we here will never do anything to smear the company's name or good image because we demand feedback. Our plight is just that we want this exhausted process completed already. That's not so bad to ask for na......abi you sef u never tire

majekdom2:
There isn't any problem still stands. What do you think you can do to stop them from asking you guys to resume 2050 if 2050 is the date. Hehehehehe. Brother man,the solution is not in your hands. Well maybe you can finance the delayed projects or perhaps raise the oil price.

You didn't give a rational explanation for your answer and instead you are jumping to another argument. I never claimed I can do anything to make NLNG call. So what u r telling me now is that it's Ok for NLNG to stay mute till infinity as long as their business need is 'unfavourable'? Bros reason Wetin you dey talk now.

Badema:
Sincerely speaking! I do not think there should have been any serious issue here, it's simple, you want to ask/request/enquire you are very free to do that, but it should not be compelling to others, a group of 5 to 10 can do that at will, it's still a cohort that can be given a fair hearing, but anyone who feels they do not want to be part of that cohort are not cowards in anyway, I personally feel 'in due course' is enough for me to mean 6 months, another person sees that as a week and has since that week asked/requested information.

Pls guys let's be as cordial as we've always been, its simple analogy, join cohort A or B.

Don't worry mate we r just expressing different opinions and everyone is trying to give his own argument to back his own position. We r still one family here and there is no reason to feel any animosity towards each other.

Love you guys

majekdom2:
I really have time. I like to teach and let people learn. Pls, show me where the problem is.

LOL...for your mind you wan teach me. okay lemme oblige you. From what Vantage and ceetee have posted by now I hope you realised that by your definition in due course has no definite time frame. Which means NLNG can decide to wait until 2050 if that's when it becomes favourable for them to call. So you still see no problem with that?

Answer the query above then go ahead to expound on your reason. Maybe I'd learn something from your argument if superior.

majekdom2:
if you say that something will happen in due course, you mean that it will happen at a suitable time in the future .

So you don't see a problem with that phrase "in due course" going by this definition?

RileyFreeman1:
OK, just so u know, prospectives call in via phone and mails daily asking about this graduate trainee recruitment campaign. They get the same simple formal reply.

"The recruitment is still on and feedbacks will be sent to candidates immediately it is available."

there is no harm sending your own request too or calling in. You most likely will get a reply like the one above.

Hehehehe.....no wonder people begin tweet Oga babs. Maybe na Oga babs we go begin channel enquiries to now

majekdom2:
still trying to figure out what the problem is?? Is there a problem anywhere?? I like your spirit and I want to ask again, do you really think mails will hasten or make NLNG call you to resume ASAP. #cowards - is it a fight with NLNG?? Ok. The mail doers should do good to include their names and personal email contacts in the mail.

1. The problem is that we were told that we would be contacted in due course and this is over 3 months and there is no response whatsoever as regards the recruitment. I'm not saying they should call for medicals.....a simple rejoinder mail giving explanation for delay or specific time for completion will do well to calm people's minds.
2. I'm not desperate about getting this NLNG thing job. I just want it to come to an end. Whether I'm called or not it changes nothing to my plans. But that doesn't make their silence right.
3. I'm only trying to let yall know that everyone if acting according to his nature/conscience will most definitely not care about how others perceive his actions. Read my write up in context and u will see that it's not about fighting with NLNG.
4. Yes I believe that contacting NLNG for feedback is an action and NLNG must definitely make a reaction to it. It's either they decide to send another feedback mail or they choose to remain silent. So in the end that's a 50% probability of getting a response as compared to 0% if we all stay silent.
5. If at the end of q2 we don't get any feedback at all I'd do an enquiry from my NLNG application email to them and demand for my feedback. Nothing will happen!

RileyFreeman1:
I like this.

question for the deep mind.

let's say Nlng wants 150 gts, yet they are keeping over 300 PROSPECTIVES waiting this long even at the risk of a bad public image. Ever wondered why they have not reduced the number to about 105% of the assumed 150 gts?.

advice: Its hard to be waiting when you've invested so much time into this, very hard, but its more profitable to live like NLNG doesn't exist. Get some certifications, improve on your skills, aim at getting higher where u work, change jobs, get a new apartment, get married, have kids,......just do your thing, check d thread once a while, keep in touch with proceedings. when NLNG calls, if the offer is worth it, take it and improve on what you've built.

NLNG will definitely get back to you. At least they said that in their last correspondence. keep it professional!!

You sound as if people that are demanding feedback have paused their lives until NLNG calls and that's not the case here. Everyone is deeply engaged but not everybody buries their heads in the sand when there are problems.
@badema...i like your analogy above but what I can draw from it is that for every action expect a reaction and when it comes to human behaviour you can never predict that reaction. We all are wired differently so wyl some will choose to just be quiet and hope NLNG calls in a zillion years time some other will start demanding for feedback after 1week. Those that choose to wait a zillion years will accuse those that are agitating after just 1 week of being irrational and impatient while the latter will accuse the former of being lily livered cowards. After all na here we all dey somebody don go tweet Oga babs demanding for feedback....
It's simply human reaction!

forkadict:
Lol. Okay no vex. You hear no vex. Haba I know say you no dey jab me na. I know. But I just need to set the record straight. First of, if anything, I was even trying to tell guys in here what was likely to be responsible for the delay and I came up with the oil price theory. And that taking on many hands at the same time will not look good in the books. Go back and check it. I was one of the first if not the first sef to mention it. I can't recall asking nlng to take us by fire by force na. The wait obviously got to me but I never bombarded them with mails for instance, all I did if anything was groan on and off nairaland.That's all.

Second of all, the oil price theory was confirmed after I got in. It may have been a permutation but it was absolutely on point.

If I remember correctly, you na one of the top CIA agents for here. I will baptise you with a mission soon enough. It may not be much though given the charged atmosphere in here but however little it is, it may be worth something for a few folks...

hehehehe....who am I to stay angry at Baba addict himself. no wahala I'm just happy we understand each other now. But this vex wey u make me vex go cost you ooo.....you go buy me better mmanya when I enter island to appease my heart

forkadict:
Of course I was part of it and do I need to be reminded? I think not. But I have heard on many occasions and I will quote just one:

Many pages back, someone posted an article about NLNG trying to award a contract for the building of one road and the figure was quoted. The same poster (or possibly another) computed the annual salary of GTs and juxtaposed that amount with the contract worth. In other words, NLNG should forget about the road and call for you guys.

Another case is a few pages back when someone (I can't remember specifically but I thin it's @vantage7) quoted the profit from the latest edition of facts and figures and said something like even tho the profit for the year under review dipped, GTs annual remuneration is peanuts when compared with the profit declared. If these 2 cases cited do not buttress my point about folks trying to determine what ought other ought not be NLNG'S priorities, I don't know what else can.

BTW, we are still together in the struggle o. Never forget that. That's the sole reason I am still following the thread.

Bros I don't mean to throw jabs at you but seriously you are not being objective in your argument or should I say the way you reason with us. I have to say things the way it is here so just focus more on the points i am about to make as I would gain nothing by insulting u.

I recall vividly how you joined this thread. You were bitter at the guys on the EH thread not sharing info. We welcomed you in and it has been a great ride with you. By being bitter at the EH threadites you have displayed an obviously similar emotion to whatever guys are doing right now. It doesn't matter whether our speculations are right on why we haven't been called. The fact is that keeping us on the sidelines will always provoke some sort of reaction. Its easier for you to say now because you are inside and you see things from an entirely different perspective. From our own side of the prism these things are a bit obscure so we speculate to manage our emotions.
I recall also several times when you were also doing permutations here on oil price, NLNG future plans and all other while you were still waiting for your call. That's not too different from what you are scolding peeps for now.

So bro just try and understand us. I won't blame another insider for making such comments about us but for you I'd take exception because being a part of us here it's expected that you show us more empathy. This wait isn't easy....imagine that for some reason you weren't called when they did, will you be here defending NLNG?
