Sis, you really cracked me up this morning...lol

Okay, now I have a new found respect for these two men.

mcthewills:
Desperado. Oya start making the noise na.

No doubt they'll push in there people. No amount of noise can change that. You just pray that they include you in the list. And if they don't, you move on.

There r 2 things to this exercise, its either you are called or you aren't. Its either you get the job or you don't. Some will get the job, some will be disappointed. Some keep shouting faith here as if your level of faith determines your eligibility.

Niger people self.

If you are an atheist and they judge you qualified and you are favored by quota system, you'll get the job while the other under-qualified born again christian will not. No amount of faith can change that. So lets all be realistic.

I wish you the best

If you participated in the process in Enugu, you would know that these people fear the noise we make here on NairaLand. Complaints made here were addressed and resolved, with the resolution communicated to us.

You may not have faith in God, good for you, but never discourage people who do from professing theirs.

You call me a desperado.. I will save you the trouble and confirm that I am one, as I know I participated excellently in all the recruitment exercises and oral interview. SO NO! NO!! NO!!! I will not want to be cheated. I will not want to be defrauded by a system that was termed fair. I am not against FAAN fielding in ogas' candidates, but I will like for them not to term the process free and fair if they do not plan on seeing it through.

I understand that you are used to failure, disappointment and being cheated. Sorry about that bro, but not everybody can take SH.IT like you will.... So stop advising me to keep quiet and move on. If you feel a need to, just do me one favour, SHOVE IT UP UR AR.SE!!!

ejiykzazi2007:
U 4get say dat list is nolonga authentic as hundreds were called after d list was published. The 6persons may have risen to 50persons or more from ur state. I know wen the final list is out, many will make noise that pple not in d list are shortlisted, dey wont rber that thousand who also did there interview dont hv dia names in d published list for interview...

This was my fear. I actually feared it was a contorted conspiracy by FAAN to allow the ogas-at-the-top to field in their candidates without suspicion. Otherwise, why didn't they simply release an updated list and invite only those they felt were qualified, that is the high scorers as was claimed on their website. This is no time for us to keep quiet. Let us remember we have a voice with the power of the social media, so let us make enough noise, so as to force them not to taint the fairness of the process.

Those with numbers of the staff should it here, so we can keep calling them and reminding them of how dangerous delay is. Let us keep getting info and sharing it here

The drama is getting intense... Make the call-up for APL no pass tomorrow o.

Normality:
I told them the ND and Biafra die hards have been having serious meetings since the even of the election which I will tell u to quote me even before any being.

Why won't you sit at the comfort of your home and issue battle cry!! Why are my people so daft and blind to progress?? Why? Why??

Recall that Charles Novia and Yoruba actress, Foluke Daramola exchanged bitter words online over GEJ/GMB.
while Novia supported GEJ, Daramola supported GMB.

Why do all these people feel the need to explain themselves? Just say congratulations and move on. Nonsense!!!

All of these people should just shut-up. From what I gathered most of them can't write proper English!!

Dear Sir Mohammadu Buhari,

At the beginning of this race, I chose my candidate in the person of General Mohammadu Buhari of the APC. Many people thought I was nuts for choosing a Muslim over a Christian. I stood firm in my support for the general, because I knew my choice was borne out of a need to bring change. I refused to be lead by religious, regional or tribal bias.

Many of my kinsmen thought me a lost son supporting the General, a lot others termed me a fool for thinking GMB would be elected president. Now posterity has proven right, it has proven me wise and I am glad that I stood firm in my resolve to vote for change. I am prouder today for ignoring my kinsmen and naysayers. I am proud of the General for showing me that persistence is a virtue. People called you a perpetual failure, but today your persistence has vindicated you!! You persistence has vindicated Nigerians.

My General sir, I congratulate you this day. I congratulate the many Nigerians who chose change over religious/ethnic/regional sentiments. I congratulate the entire people of this nation for having the most peaceful election ever.

My General sir, I wish to ask certain favours of you;
- Please overlook the regions that rejected you in this election. Instead think of the people among them who chose to vote for you simply because they believed in your capabilities.
- Now that you have been elected, Nigeria must be treated as a nation, not as a nation with different regions. Please sir, don't ever see along religious/regional lines.
- Please sir, don't allow any group to disrupt the peace of the nation. Swift actions should be taken to nip any militia in the bud.
- Please sir, do not forget the promises you made to Nigerians, we progress requires work and we hope you get to it immediately.
- Please sir, do not surround yourself with people who never mean well for this Nation. Please reject counsel from selfish advisers.

Sir, I will plead with you to retain Chief Osita Chidoka as the Aviation Minister. Sir, this man is as credible, honourable and efficient as you are.

So sir, as we await your swearing in on May 29, I pray that Nigeria continues to maintain the peace and unity.

God Bless You sir,
God Bless Nigeria!!!

A strong supporter of change!!!
Sai Buhari!!!

Billygee2u:
the north created Boko Haram to make GEJ government un-gorvernable, in order to wrestle power from GEJ,then peradventure, Buhari wins,let Nigerians know that Niger Delta should also rise against Buhari and make him restless until he dies of HBP. The Northerners alone are not born to rule Nigerians.
If Buhari wins, Nigerians prepare for another stronger violence in Nigeria.
I am not supporting violence in Nigeria,but this is the true nature of things to happen if Buhari wins.
Even Buhari's certificateless issue on ground is enough to cause uprising after he's sworn in as Nigeria's next president. No one is above the law.all heads are equal.

You are an e-diot for wishing violence on Nigeria. GMB has won the election, let your thugs in the Delta start an uproar. You think GMB will keep quiet and let them rubbish his government. Just remember what OBJ did to Timaya's people. Violence ko!
Make una try am na!! Instead of you to be thinking of how well we can take advantage of this change, you are busy preaching chaos! Tompolo and Asari should make noise na, and see if the entire creek will not be blasted out of Nigeria map!! Arrant Nonsense!!!

Young man, go put opn a shirt abeg!! And allow us continue in our quest to rescue this nation.

MzJackBaueress:
Benue people believed PDP government has failed them. Their governor owed them months of salaries. They were sensible enough to vote based on the failure of PDP and not based on religious sentiments.
Benue is 75percent a Catholic state. They produce the highest number of catholic priests after Igbos. But they voted a muslim brushing sentiments aside.

In the southeast,the story is the opposite. Voting against Buhari based on religious and ethnic sentiments even though it is glaring that Jonathan and PDP has failed them.
When will my people ever get it right?

My brother, I weep for my people. They keep accusing the Northerners of being religious bigots, forgetting that these same people voted Abiola in 93, Obasanjo twice, and GEJ in 2011. We Igbos are so blinded by tribalism and our religious sentiments even to the detriment of our progress as a nation.

I often wonder what people who think a person from their region being in Aso Rock would profit them. Seriously, if someone underperforms why on earth will people clamour to support him to rule for another 4yrs?

I pray we get it right someday. But for now, I remain entirely grateful to the Northerners, Middle Beltans and South Westerns whom have chosen to save our country from impunity.

KevinBrown:
See dis one.... Forming straight yet 90% of the people u follow on nairaland are females.

Bitch! Lesbian!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

It has always been said that most homophobes are closeted homosexuals!!!

Chinom:
Starting with the hookers is a good idea. So I will advice you to follow up that thought. A big azzed well rounded Lagos ashawo will su*ck that gay tendencies out of you. You have the money to pay, so why waste time. Toasting girls will take a long time and may put you off.

Every gay man can be straightened by the right woman in bed.

So what happens to those guys who have girlfriends, wives and still have gay lovers??!!
Ignorance na wa!!!

harrysterol:
ur if not u won't have sounded like miscreant when I was trying to sound polite with everyone

I am sorry, but there is no polite way to say the bull.shi.t you have been spewing. Olodo!!

harrysterol:
is either your crazy or your mad, am I compelling you to believe me? I answered what someone asked me to the best of my knowledge, I wish we met in person then you will tell me such words, blood will have flown

Really?? I doubt if blood would flow. You see, I am not an untrained dog that results to fights over a disagreement. Now scurry off and go lick you butt!!

harrysterol:
I don't want to know again I have given up on faan, i know wt d official said in udi enugu wer i did my interview, Nigeria is not a gud country and are not ready to change either, this faan thing has been politically hijacked, that does not mean hope won't come again as for me I have pointed my search light somewhere else

Oga shut up!!! I am sure you are among those people who fumbled in their interview, that is why you being so negative. Nobody who did well in their interview will be as feeble minded or dejected as you.
Dress go one corner jare!!! You and your mugu friend!! Hiss!!!

aflyingbird:
op's mother had the strength to throw the first hit and fight . she isn't as elderly as we might like to assume , in terms of age .

If your mum slaps you will you retaliate? If you answer is NO, then you have no business hitting your MIL. So, let us stop making excuses for the wife.
Let us imagine if the husband has issues with the FIL, and the wife comes in and finds the husband beating the father. Am sure the brothers would have gone to beat up the man mercilessly, if not arrest him.

perfectionist:
Thanks, Cococandy. Your advice is always appreciated on this forum.
As to the reasons behind their animosity I cannot say but I do suspect my wife believes my mother is against her and may want to harm her.
The other women present tried to separate the fight to no avail. Even neighbours assisted but they just won't let go until I came.
I've always advised my wife to avoid any situation that would lead to a quarrel or fight with my mother. I guess she chose not to listen.

'I guess she chose not to listen'...
You seem so lackadaisical about the whole thing. So you have warned your wife to avoid such situations, you know there is no love lost between them and you still thought it wise to leave them alone?

I blame you. I blame your wife and I blame your mum a little.

Slapping your mother was completely wrong on the part of your wife, unless she would tell me that she slaps her own mother in retaliation too.

You didn't even mention if and how you have reprimanded your wife for what she did. You seem not concerned with how grave her actions were. You are even dissociating yourself from the abomination claim. You try well well. Continue letting your wife think she is Tatiana Ali, well done!!

Oga, my suggestion is going to be harsh. You must 'handle' your wife. Get me right. Your mum will find it hard to forgive her, unless she knows/thinks you have punished your wife in some way. So my advice is that you ask your wife to go to her parents for a while, let her parents know what she did and have them beg on her behalf. She should remain there while you invite you mum to spend the weekend with you and the kid/s. Use the alone time to beg your mum. Invite ur in-laws to meet and beg her in your place. The you can invite your wife to come and reconcile with her there.

Don't take your wife to you mother's house, I use God name take beg you!!! With what women do these days in anger!!

I wish you good luck!!!

If she can compensate with a 'good head' whenever I want it, then I don't mind. But ofcourse she will have to learn, and be experimental.

[i][/i]:......................use ur head...NIS did not modify anything...after going tru applications,some selected candidates will be sent username and password to do the test anywhere ; just like FAAN did...I DONT KNOW Y SOME PEOPLE in this forum WOULD GIVE THEIR PERSONAL OPINION AS IF IS FRM AN AUTHENTIC SOURCE....mitchewwwwww....NIS will do all she can to avoid any sort of crowd....no special centres for CBT[

jdbabzy:
Lol...I agree with u. I've been made to realize this is a federal government recruitment exercise and as such d quota system must be adopted. It's our constitution. I cannot argue with that. Thanks for d correction.

As for why I have a grouse with this system, my answer is simple. It stifles "true" competition amongst applicants in its entirety. Take for instance we have 10 applicants from a particular state who performed excellently in d exercise (say they all had above 90%) and then some other applicants in another state scored 40% as their highest. What dis means is u must pick a required number from each state. So if only two are needed from every state, 8 candidates who struggled to have those scores will be dropped over those who scored way lower. Does that in any way encourage competition? I guess that answer is very obvious. But that's what it is.

Now this is where you get it wrong. The quota system allows for those educationally developed states to have more candidates employed into the service

jdbabzy:
I appreciate ur response but I will however disagree with you still. Fairness is when u say everyone who gets 50% and above qualifies for the next phase and that is exactly what u keep to. Shifting d "goalposts" just to benefit a select few and at d detriment of those who got d pass mark is far from fairness.

In all developed countries, competition is what makes their economies tick. U cannot stiffle competition and expect development. It's nobody's fault that a particular geopolitical zone is termed or classified as ELDS. I find it rather degrading and nothing to be proud of. I wonder how my rommie who made a first class wud feel when people think/say he's from d "north" and as such "they" are educationally less developed. Anyways this is Nigeria. Everything goes!

U cited an analogy using jamb and waec scores/grades and tried to relate it to this case. First both scenarios are mutually exclusive and shd be treated as such. Waec/jamb NEVER fixed a pass mark of 40% neither did they say it was 50 or a 100%. FAAN however "fixed" a pass mark and clearly stated on their website that those who get this mark will be shortlisted for the next phase. This is where there is a lucid distinction.

Anyways it is ur opinion and I respect it.

I will fault the bold sentence. FAAN never said all those who scored above 50% would progress to the next phase. They only gave the pass mark as 50%. Mind you security cadets and assistant FSs wrote the same exam with us, they were actually the ones who were considered for the 50% because they had only SSCE and wrote the same exam with BSc, HND and even MSc holders.

When they gave the pass mark as 50%, they never said which cadre it was for. I know of some security cadets in Enugu zone who score 58.

I repeat, FAAN site never said all those who passed 50% would progress to PFT stage, the only stated it as the pass mark.

jdbabzy:
Very well said. I applaud d points u stated.

First let me correct an impression. I'm not crying fowl cos it didn't favour me. I am only saying that this exercise is anything but excellent as u have put it. I bear no grudges or ill feelings against those who made it. I'd just like us to be more objective and admit that while they achieved a form of success in d exercise, it was far from being excellent.

This recruitment exercise is no rocket science. Organizations such as NLNG, NNPC, and several banks or multinational coys witness hundreds of thousands of applications every time they advertise yet they conduct their screenings in transparent ways(at least in d public purview). Competence is what they look at, not quota.

If it'd make any difference, I passed d test and was invited for the pft. I know I didn't do well at that stage cos I wasn't fully fit. But that will not make me say it was entirely fair. My point is dat a recruitment exercise that is based on federal character system cannot be entirely fair. But then again what do I know?

I wish u d very best sir.

But do you realize that the Federal Civil Service Commission is responsible for monitoring recruitment exercise into Federal Government agencies, and the Federal Character Commission Act guides the quota system? And they have stated that every state must be given quotas in their employment system. FAAN is not the only body that does quota system. Nigeria Army, Navy, Airforce, CBN, Police Force, Customs, Immigration, FRSC, NIMASA, etc...they all use quota system for employment, because consideration must be given to educationally under-developed states - that is only fair.
Why do you have a gross with the quota system?

@ JDbabzy...
Are you still flogging this dead horse? Good thing you said it was your personal opinion.

Please let us never criticize the quota system? Haba, why can't we get along with everyone. The quota system even allows for educationally developed states to have more candidates. If you checked the list of successful candidates you would see that some states in the south had about 29 people, while some states in the north had as low as just 2 people. So why are you crying foul? Face it, competing with your state is an ideal from of competition. If you think you are smart enough to get a placement, then show that by beating other candidates from you state for its quota.

I won't even write/talk about the 50% pass mark sef.

About people writing in the comfort of their homes. Well, we were all given the same opportunity. I understand that some people did theirs in cyber cafes with lots of distractions, but FAAN is not to blame. FAAN has just set a precedent. NIS has modified it by having their CBT in centres. So kudos to FAAN.

Pls note that I am not just saying because I was fortunate enough to have made it to the interview stage. I know I am saying the truth when I say FAAN did an excellent job in this recruitment process.

It seems the groundnut oil burnt you up in the pan!

You see the power of comma? 'Well, none' would have saved this conversation.

oga..i av been opportuned to work in d airport 4 4months
d security officers dont need any training,cos dey dont do any strenious/braintasking work,all dey do is sit and screen passengers luggages.Dts all

Rashygenius na u suppose calm down! Security Officers and Fire Superintendents must undergo training exercises. Do you think people will be given uniform and be asked to just go and start screening passengers luggages? Or are u expecting fire officers to just go fight fire without proper training?
Successful people will be camped and trained for a period of time.

[quote author=olamisegbe post=18628556][/quote]Oga, hope this is no what you are tutoring them? Because you failed 4 out of 9...SMH.

4everisaac:
Sorry, there are some errors in your answers.
Here is the correction:

1. 'Rounding up' not 'rounding off'.

2. 'he can speak the language' not 'but he...' Remember 'although' is there already.

4. 'None the worse'

8. 'on a plane' not 'in a plane'

9. 'the president with...' is singular. 'the president and...' is plural. Don't get it twisted. 'is' is the correct answer there.

Thanks. :-)

Actually, no 1 is 'rounding off'...but you are right on the rest. I was shocked too.
