We are coming to your DM. Reserve one purple goat.
And please tie the national flag around the neck. We respect our fatherland.

As I am kuku jobless if nnpc says I should report to work the day after getting APL it can't move me.

BenFlash:
Wait, a mult***** asked you all to come pick up your letters individually at their office? On top of that with a one week resumption notification?

Are they Lebanese? Just wantu check something.

BenFlash:
Congrats once again bro.

I am concerned about the resumption after only 1week though. Are they going to compensate for the short notice period with respect to those who have an existing job or they simply don't care how you end it with your current employer?

olaidefat:
Are you among?

Sometimes it is good to test run your madness so some people won’t take your “maturity” as weakness or being unassertive.

Enrypech:
OK Sir

Eggovic:
Cockroach actually

Enrypech:
Wow! Wow!!!

All these things for me? For charging to teach what I paid to learn?

I didn't know when it became a shameful thing for one to monetize his information and knowledge

Alright. My post didn't suggest that I was selling an App to anybody. I merely wanted to teach those interested.

A quick question. So because anyone can easily install python, Java, Blender etc. You will go ahead and villify another person who is charging to teach people?

Now, let me state that I do not have a calm and collected mind like moosgon.

Dbowline, it's a shame to you and your African parents (if you have them) that you grew up so unfortunate like this.

I understand you parted company with your senses long before you were born. You are very sick but the real sickness is that you are not aware you are sick

I see you make a meal of bringing people down a lot and you seem to enjoy it thoroughly.

With such a " good heart " . Why not opt to teach the interested ones free of charge .

I haven't scammed you or anybody, I haven't coveted your wife. Why would you speak so ill of me.

Dbowline. Take your time. Avoid me

They wouldn't have invented the word "arrogant" if they didn't.

BenFlash:
You can actually be a proud father, if your child is doing well academically for instance. So "being proud" should not always be seen in the negative light.

However, if we should dwell on the negative as your question indicates, another word for it would be "arrogance"

Someone or someone's comment can come across as being 'arrogant' based on two factors -

1. Perspective/orientation

2. Level of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

1. Perspective
A child who says "what's up dad" as a form of greeting to his dad in America (very normal to an average American) will otherwise be considered to be a proud/arrogant/not humble child by an average Nigerian who sees him doing that to his dad here. It is simply a matter of perspective or orientation (why do you think some people almost kneel down when talking to elders on the phone?)

Another instance was when @mosgoon affirmed that the same comments for which he was being vilified here on NL were considered to be normal on reddit as no one even raised an eyebrow there, which brings me to point number 2.

2 . EQ on the part of the commenter
This should prompt the commenter to conduct an informal audience profiling to know which communication style to adopt otherwise he/she will come across as someone who is seeking unnecessary attention and in some cases deemed to be proud or not humble. Emotional Intelligence is key to avoid unnecessary backlash for an otherwise "innocent" statement.

Furthermore, the EQ of the audience also plays a crucial role in determining whether someone or a comment would be adjudged "proud". Some audience may see a comment, pick the relevant info and ignore the rest of the noise while the other set of audience will dwell on the "McKinsey" part that was mentioned and start vibrating.

In summary, being adjudged to be proud is a matter of perspective/orientation, and the emotional intelligence of the commenter and/or the audience. There is no hard and fast rule.

Have been following this thread and nothing predicted has ever come true. So when you hear people saying anything about info gotten from sauce just know they re all assumptions. Believe whatever you read here at your own peril.

lakezycarter:
Congratulations, please what did the medicals involve?

BenFlash:
Only @Xfire can solve this conundrum w.r.t. NNPC. Some organizations I worked for issued APL (albeit Provisional) before medicals, others did medicals before APL. It is not cast in stone.

October here, October there, learnt the shell stuff targeted resuming October, was at an aptitude test yesterday and was told resumption is by October if successful , nnpc should be no different, what's the thing about October sef (the beginning of a business year? )I presume by now companies should conducted or will soon conduct their AGM, plans should have kickstarted for the following busines year, budgets e.t.c, why not September or November, just asking.

GeniusOla:
I went for an assessment today and the H.R said guys just forget about all those your nairaland tips and all, this will be asked, that will be asked, let me shock you, I'm also on that nairaland i perfectly understand this generation very well, name all the social media platforms, im there #lol local man lost all ability to can

johnchima007:
..... Let them forget about the new salary scale, I don’t mind the old one... abi which kind wahala be this sef.....

Jarus:
Yay, mo gbe

techconfam:
Doubting Thomas....... Am sure you were not qualified to apply for the job, talk more of been invited for the test or interview. Na dem . Unfortunately, some guys here will still take you serious after spewing what you knew nothing about with bitterness.

Robocorp:
If nnpc recruitment can take place during the tenure of one of the PERCIEVED most corrupt petroleum minister in this country, and some common men were still able to get in, then someone is here saying all the slots have been sold out to the highest bidders.
Just know that we are not the only ones against you, logic and reasoning are also not on your side. Yes, I may not get in, but one thing am very sure of is that, common men like me will surely get in. ✌
So brother, take your pepper � and sell it somewhere else, coz we ain't buying.

vycente:
APL & TF payments are 2 diffrt processes. NNPC is not waiting to pay everybody b4 release of APL. They can release APL while still paying people and vice versa...

Gbriels:
We all have one....at bolded....
Ok, for d sake of whoever u worship, to what end is the statement...I have a binding agreement with my sauce?
I would have been very ok wit him saying...no bad news or, I don't have non for now, or something else..
U know d thread is for infor, and u are coming to tell d pple u have one but can't reveal...? Bro can u can this..?
The fact will always be that this APL has nothing whatsoever to do with what he says or not say..
U know local man is just hear to waste spare time not APL infor....

BenFlash:
NL has a way of making people over think things. I am sure if Mele Kyari slips and fall, someone in this forum will say it is a test to know those who will be quick to say "sorry" (empathy test) so that it can help NNPC decide who should get APL.

SMH.
