LeoDiVinci:In other spheres of my life I go by ur alias...leodavinci rocks. All this money you guys are sharing here....there is godooo |
artmedia:I do not doubt you when you said they will still send more regret mails but I still think it is not fair to still drop someone that has come this far. To get to this stage you must have proven your competence in every areas you were accessed. Maybe I'm being too emotional about this after all we all know life isn't fair. They reserve the right to even cancel the recruitment outright. Though I feel its not just about what they can or cannot do but what they will do(because what you do defines who you are). In the end fate wins. Well we wait! |
NanaF:It is to me. Which criteria will they now use to screen out somebody that has aced all the written test, ac, even the background tests that wouldn't be downright prejudiced and outrightly wicked! |
Badema:Hehehe my brother we still dey prayer the prayer....congrats on the due course mail...we were on the same floor on June 16th at nicon. The hope is still alive bro. Any word from the other guys. |
artmedia:That's cruel man. Why raise someone's hopes only to dash them in the end. Not good at all. If an individual is informed that he aced the ac and is let off the hook for reasons which I'm certain nlng will not reveal to him how on earth will that boost his morale? |
https://www.mckinseyenergyinsights.com/insights/positive-outlook-for-lng.aspx From the look of things the future of lng isn't compromised by the current trend of oil price. |
PresVA:You may not be totally wrong but the other guys too have a solid argument. You cannot compare NLNG with shell just like that because both companies operate different recruitment policies. Shell I know recruits graduates every year through their srd and sitp programs.They can afford to stop their recruitment for the next 5 years and still have the right people in their value chain. NLNG on the other hand last took graduates in 2007(a whooping 8years back). Even if the company has a very low staff turnover rate I believe they still require fresh hand who will take over the reins of the business for continuity sake. Besides do you expect people to still be doing the same jobs after almost a decade. To motivate staffs on NLNGs payroll you need to move them to higher jobs if not you risk having a drop in their productivity. That is what I feel led to our recruitment which started by 2013. If this is the case they should not allow any little short term hiccup to derail them. They should go ahead and execute the plan. Time is also very key. The earlier they take the GTs the earlier they reap the productivity that will come from each single individual they will take. If the recruitment had not been so fickle in the past by now they probably would have taken the initial number they need and nobody will be talking about oil price crash. Though I agree that it also makes good business sense to cut costs even on the short term by reducing the number of intakes that's why I prefer they wait list some but there is no reasonable argument as to further delaying the resumption of the GTs. The truth is that they need GTs if they plan to continue doing business so they should just get it over with. |
vantage7:I think their best option is 1. Before a company would initiate such a recruitment process it must have carefully analysed the need for it inline with its sustainability plan. You recruit because you want your company to survive into the future so the major factors driving recruitment should be long term. From history we know that oil prices behave cyclically meaning that the current fall in process will only last for the short term. Prices will definitely go back up and when they do only companies that are prepared with the right set of both human and capital resources will thrive. NLNG shud stick to their initial plan and take the number they planned from onset. The reasons given by someone above clearly explains why option 2 may not be a so great idea but if the company decides to adopt this it is still not so bad. Adopting options 3 is a disaster for a supposed world class company because it will only mean that the NLNG mgt embarked on this recruitment process without carefully aligning its purpose with the companies goals. Furthermore it will make a mockery of whatever damage control they are trying to do by giving the unsuccessful candidates closure on the progress of their recruitment because it will mean that more candidates will be getting regret mails in the near or far future depending on when they decide to call. I'm sure our discourse here is being monitored by the recruitment team so I encourage all to contribute meaningfully to this topic. Maybe our good arguments will aid the team in making the right call. Once again congrats to those who still kindle the hope and all the best to those who have left us at this stage. |
PLANETMARS:They were fined because of their lack of respect for Nigeria and her authorities. They shouldn't blame anybody but themselves for that. ![]() |
About 2 weeks ago, I got a text msg from MTN informing me of the need to visit any of their customer service centers and register my sim. I was both perplexed and angryat the same time because this was going to be the 3rd time I will have to go to their office for the same sim registration exercise. The last one I did was not even up to six months ago. Even for a person with a proven record of patience, I am pretty sure that having to go through MTN's sim registration exercise for a 3rd time is enough to stretch the limits of his patience beyond it's break point. Driving past their office on my way to and from work everyday and watching how people haplessly queue up under extreme weather conditions in this harsh harmattan season just in a bid to save their "precious" MTN lines from termination I writ inside with pain, disgust and anger at how low a multi-national such as MTN has placed it's money-makers such that every power or dignity which customers should have is being stripped away from them because me and my fellow countrymen have chosen to be treated that way. This morning after completing 14hours of night shift on my way home I decided to make a quick stop at the MTN center (Somewhere in the southern part of Kaduna city), since the insufferable queue has abated and there was even space to park in front. I entered and was ushered to sit in a short queue to await my turn with the customer service rep. When it got to my turn I explained to the rep my predicament of doing two previous sim registrations with the penultimate one done in this same center I'm lodging the complaint. I noticed that he was more concerned with searching for my details on the system than listening to what I even had to say. In the end he scribbled down on a small piece of paper my number and the word "fresh" and asked me to head on to the other side of the building and join a queue where someone will attend to me. Then he shouted, next person! I was like is that all....He continued, just move over to the other side someone will attend to you. I stood up still confused and walked to the where I was directed and saw all the people who had gone before me seated in line on a fresh queue. It dawned on me that this was going to take longer than I expected. I went back to the CS rep and asked him how long it will take for me to complete the process and he said ....please go over to the other queue someone will attend to you. I fumed with anger inside me because it seems MTN have started employing robots to attend to human customers. I told myself I wasn't cut out for this and stormed out of the place into my car. As I was about to drive out I had another thought.......perhaps I should give these guys a piece of my mind before I leave. I went back inside and told the CS rep that I felt its un-professional the way he handled my case. Why in the world will he fail to give me an explanation as to what happened to the previous 2 sim registrations I did. Even if he would not render a reasonable explanation for my inquiry courtesy demand that he feels my pulse and beckon on my soft side by atleast offering some form of apology or showing concern. As I was still talking another CS rep lady spoke up in defence of her colleague but I wouldn't let her speak further as I pointed out that the folly in their actions without mincing words. The AI humanoid rep I was even talking to still buried his head in his computer screen without making any eye contact with me "the angry customer" or bothered to offer any form of apology on behalf of the company. Well, what more can I do but walk out for the last time and telling myself this time I turn my back for good. The only reasonable explanation for the poor customer satisfaction most MTN subscribers have is the subscribers themselves. I do not blame MTN one bit.....I blame each and every MTN subscriber out there that will quickly rush to stand under the rain or sun just because MTN sends you a text to come do an exercise you have probably done before in the past without any explanation. These guys cannot even try a minute fraction of the bullcrap they give to Nigerians in their home country. Does it means we Nigerians are so intellectually inept that we take anything that is thrown our way? The only time we speak out is when we want to fight ourselves(ethnic,tribal and religious warfare)....that's when you see the strength of a typical Nigerian. We cannot unite and hold our leaders accountable for their actions. Same way we cannot as consumers unite and tell whoever provides the service we pay for that we demand quality and fair treatment (as civilized individuals). When consumers of a commodity forget the power they wield they sell themselves cheap to the manufacturer and play into their hands. Will I beg MTN not to terminate my line....NEVER!!. Who will lose?....definitely not me because I pay good money to buy recharge cards and buy data. If they do not care about my little drop to their revenue then we would see who will have the last laugh when other customers start latching on to my line of thought due to bad service and eventually jump ship. Also the fear of losing my old contacts is unfounded as the world right now is has a cesspool on peoples profile so you can search and get the contact of anyone one the various social media platform if you know how to look. Also any official feedback that I may be expecting is not at risk because they have my e-mail and contact address(even next of kin info). So if I want to damn MTN they will lose 100% and me 0%. Enough is enough....Nigerians,please have some dignity for yourselves. That 100naira recharge card you load every other day may seem small to you but in the grand scheme of things it goes into a pool that in the end pays the salary of that insolent MTN CS representative that will deny you any explanation as to why your line was dis-engaged due to one shabby exercise you had toiled to do before. That your 4naira they deduct when you send text message gives you the power to say No....stop this or I will go!. You don't have to become a savage and burn down their office or act violently like some of my countrymen did in Owerri to teach these guys that you have the power. The best way to show MTN we are not fools is for us to start dignifying ourselves. If I do not get a good explanation as to why the previous sim regs I did was nullified or what was done with the bio-data I had entrusted to them twice then they can go to hell with their sulky sim card because I don't need it. They have my contact info if they value my money they should look for me. I wont cower before them and in the end still give them my hard earned money. Sorry guys for my harsh tone of words.....its the way these guys have made me feel this morning. Feliz Navidad great Nairalanders Cc lalasticlala |
obailala:My point is that it is difficult for Nigerians to have that unity of purpose which is what drives nation building because the various ethnicities hardly see themselves as one. America is like the model multi ethnic nation in the world but what people fail to realize is that they were able to rise above their challenges because they had a strong unity to drive out their oppressor from their land. Here independence was handed over to us on a platter by the Brits in a neo-colonialist sense and they pitch us against one another thereby gaining control over us. If the other ethnic groups are also sincerely suffering from neglect due to bad governance I expect that they support the s.easterners and also clamor for their own self actualization. We need to have unity of purpose if not we can never be a nation. |
Setaje:What I term injustice isn't even about an igbo leading the government but rather the gross neglect of infrastructure amongst other things. Do u think that if Nigeria is functioning well with right infrastructure and a sound economic index which translate to the common man on d street in all regions that any body will clamour to secede? Truth is that our governments have failed us and due to our tribalistic and nepotistic tendencies we can never unite and fight the government to give us what we expect. |
Nice write up but I'm afraid you didn't touch the burning platform in all this struggle for seccession. What is the state of Nigeria doing about the perceived injustice from the south easterners? Remember that an angry man will never think straight. How many times have the citizenry of this country in unity come out to challenge the whims of the government? Do you realm believe that Nigerians would ever outgrow their tribalistic and nepotistic tendency? Does the multi ethnic state of Nigeria function as others take for example the US? If you can answer this questions with all sincerity then you will see things from the other sides of the prism and you yourself will start asking the right questions. |
Deefuray:It's busted not bursted......You welcome ma'am ![]() |
Great apostolic work guys. You have just inspired me to offer my five bouquets to my dearest mother. May my own petitions be united with all yours through Jesus Christ our Lord...Amen. |
Where is the centre for Abuja? |
PassingShot:I don't see anything wrong with OBJs directive for nnpc to keep their share of the dividends for the sole purpose of re-investment because that is the only way the gas sector will grow and in future generate more funds for the three tiers of govt to share if they like. The problem is the corruption in nnpc which has made these monies disappear overnight and no one is being held culpable for it. Rid nnpc of corruption and give them d power to operate without fg interference and they will make u money....in an ideal Nigeria by d way. |
bushdoc9919:Still doesn't cut it for me. If you are gonna fight evil do it with good not with a greater evil. I'd prefer they invaded Japan and engaged d Japanese army in conventional warfare than taking this cowardly option of mass murdering innocent civilians with such a horrific weapon. I also agree that some good came out from these bombings afterwards as every country have forcibly embraced peace out of the fear of being another Hiroshima. |
socialmediaman:Does that make it just. They are other ways of ending the war that are far better than the mass murdering of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians including children in a single gruesome nuclear blast. |
Make Una leave ladyF for her rightful position. She earned it by her super sonic posting skill. As soon as I clicked submit her comment is already there....i started wondering if she currently resides inside d cyberspace .LadyF pls give introvert a run for her money. I'd be cheering for u....her own don too much .Nobody don answer my question yet oo |
So sad. When u imagine d extent of devastation this bombing caused to fellow humans your mind begins to ponder if its really true d saying that all is fair in war. US being so smart and sensing that they can equally be on d receiving end of such devastating nuclear attack quickly spearheaded the UN treaty to check nuclear arms proliferation. Though I understand that the Americans acted rashly out of anger from japans ruthless maiming of marines at pearl harbour but a wise man acts slowly when provoked to anger. Nothing jusifies d nuking of a civilian population. |
We all know we had our first haircut right around or even before our first birthday and this practise seem to have been around for generations especially in this part of the world. The westerners also carry out this practise but for them it is out of choice whereas it feels as though it is compulsory here. Is there any physical,medical or spiritual implication of not cutting the baby's first hair? |
So to answer your question, ( God forbid) if my name gets substituted by one rich man's son who just earned a Masters degree from MIT or Harvard?Epic answer you gave there man. The only wise thing to do is trust the Lord and move on. |
ladyF:What you are suggesting isn't the best cos it would distort the integrity of the exercise. Let the best man/woman win. After all you women always brag to our faces that what a man can do a woman can do even better... ![]() |
ladyF:It was quite surprising to me that there wasn't even a single female in my ac group (both upper and lower floors). I dunno if this is because very few ladies made it beyond the shl stage. It seems the females are already cheating themselves by not resonating at the same high intellectual standards as their male counterparts. Not that I'm generalizing cos I know there are some outstanding ladies out there but the lot of our women occupy their minds with frivolities rather than aim to reach their full God given potential. So gender equality or not I don't see how the male to female ratio in this exercise will be 1:1....even if they decide to shun performance and take all d females that are left ![]() |
Misanthrope:Bravo for this long epistle which fails to give any answer to the moral question I asked you. Of cos I dnt want to enter another christian vs atheist debacle with u so spare me ut hatred for God and all that. You tag me a sadist for giving u my reason for suicide being wrong....what name will you call yourself for evading that simple moral question.....is it morally wrong for me to kill you? |
Dear Op, suicide is wrong based on the sole fact that the law of God dictates that thou shall not kill. No one can claim to create himself so you have no right to kill yourself as you didn't create yourself in d first place. Now if you want to take this argument a nudge further by claiming unbelief in the christian faith I have this moral question for you to answer....what is morally wrong for me to kill you? |
scarletdp:What you said is right but it doesn't change the fact that after all said and done what will be will be. We hav all put in our best and I'm sure we all hope for d best. If we get our prize in the end of course we will look back at where we did well and put our best efforts but for now we r helpless and at the mercy of fate. |
kblaze111:Bros you no be Moses oo or Jesus wey fast for 40Days and nights.. . Calm down you too are among the heavyweights as far as brilliance is concerned...infact we all are. That's why we got this far. But I dnt think brilliance alone will get one beyond dis point. You didn't go with the others for their own assessments so there is no yardstick for comparison with yours. Deep down in our minds we all feel that we could have done better. But we all had to think on our feet that day as no one knew what to expect beforehand. That is why its important we remain discreet as not to give the ph peeps an undue edge over us. We have all done our best because given d same conditions I don't think our individual performance will differ much if asked to repeat the exercise. All what's left now is for us to pray and hope. By his grace we will overcome |
Sometime back while we were still waiting for nlng to call for the AC, I made a comment here on how cruel it will be for nlng to drop anyone still left in this race. I can see now that d same fear has crept into the minds of many here. I know that we all cannot be taken at the same time but for the sake of all what we have invested in this recruitment emotionally which cannot be quantified I pray that by some miracle this happens even if its in batches. I wont even wish my enemy a regret mail at this point of this recruitment but in the end what will be will be. |

The Nordic dane15 good economic model there. Oracle artmedia any Nicer
How can you put your company at the mercy of an uncertain future? If your revenue generation declines, you have to find ways to reduce costs immediately. .or you want them to fund the administrative costs from their reserves?
