Smallville4live and DrBazz, please, which positions did you both apply for? I also was interviewed in Enugu for SO II. Thanks.

I was also interviewed in Enugu for SO II.

freshyabstel:
Well, I refuse to prepare for the worst but the best hence I call forth my appointment letter wherever it is now beginning to locate me by fire, no man or woman will swap u for another In Jesus Name. AMEN! Call forth those things that be not as though they were. I rec my Appointment letter by faith and fire of the living GOD. I am already a staff of faan.

Yes. I did my best in all the exercises. I did my best in the interview. So I am only thinking of the best. I will continue to believe in the fairness of the process, because that is how much my Faith is. Appointment Letter in anticipation!!!

MrHighSea:
. Neva said Seals av dias, dy r just agile n faster. Imagin dt hefty guy doin 30 pushups a minute, i'll b disappntd.

You don't have to be. He was the one who mentioned that it takes 2secs to do a correct pushup. That was when he was explaining why many people who thought they did well failed. I reckon he was right, because if you had seen their demo you would have known that what they wanted was for us to endure. It hurts more when you do the pushups slowly. I can do 40 fast pushups in one minute, but I didn't do fast pushups because that wasn't what they showed us in the demo.

27 or 28, my parents got two birth certificates

Hahahahahahahahaha...this is rich

i tot they said hard copy application wont be considered? so why is their statistic show hard copy applicants? i believe thos who submitted hard copy are the ones from oga at the top and the are sure of their appointment letters already... thanks faan

If you had frequented their site, you would know that they later allowed the submission of hard copies.
I say it again, we Nigerians never read, nor acquaint ourselves with current info. We just love to assume and jump to conclusions.

MrHighSea:
k. 2secs=1push up=Snail. Read abt NavySeals training or Tom Clancy (typically rainbow six). Seals run 3miles in 5mins. Readup u'll know au many pushups does elite military do a minute.

Well, those elite military as you have said have their own way of doing pushups. And the instructors in Udi have theirs, and showed us a demo. That you chose to do that of Navy Seals, which wasn't what was done in the demo shown to us, is ur own cup of tea na.
That is why it is always good to follow instructions. Overskill no dey good sometimes. That was why many girls passed the PFT while guys didn't receive text messages for interview.

Yeah but what they did was that they didn't count those that were done wrongly and continue counting when u ar getting them done correctly. What happen again was that they review the pass mark on daily basis. Those that did theirs on wed were lucky, their pass mark was 120 but it got increased on Thursday and also on friday cos d pop kept increasing day after day.

I don't know how you think the scoring was done, but I can assure you that it wasn't done by the number of sit-ups or push-ups you did alone. People were scored based on how correctly they did their fitness exercises.
A person who did 12 perfect push-ups would score a lot higher than someone who did 45 wrongly done ones. Same with the sit-ups.
I did mine on Thursday.

MrHighSea:
If u were @ udi on 14, u must av noticed wen d frsc guys were shouting 'ds guy can gv me 40, yes 38, 39...' Actually, i did 42 push-ups n dt got me to be introduced to d huge/hefty set guy. D frsc guys were so happy. In reality i rock average of 70 every other day, evn dt morning i rockd 50 b4 setting out. For seatup, i learnt if u rock 30, dy score 25 etc. Dnt jerk, d pass mark na 20.

Hmmm...I did my PFT on Thursday. We were given 1min to do push-ups. Trust me bro, if you do the correct push-up as instructed, you would never do above 30. It takes 2secs to do a correct push-up (i.e like d demo given by the instructors), so in 60secs you are expected to do a max of 30. What many people didn't know was that rushing the pushups was not the right way to do it. You are to go down, push up and count...on and on again.
The hefty guy did inform us dat all the people who did high number push-ups were failed.

It is widely acknowledged that this woman is unlettered and educationally deficient but this is becoming a joke!

She has over 60 special assistants. What are they doing to help her articulate her thoughts without embarrassing herself and her corrupt husband?

1. Buhari lived in Dodan Barracks as head of state and not Aso-Rock

2. Buhari faced similar national security challenges as her corrupt husband but unlike Jonathan, he successfully destroyed the threat of maitatsine- he did this efficiently without giving stupid excuses.

3. It is not Buhari's fault that the women she knew during Buhari's reign 'stayed in the kitchen'. Nigerian women have been making exploits since the birth of this great nation.

4. Buhari sent corrupt politicians to prison and made them pay for their crimes- that is what Nigerians want. Nigeria will be a better country today if politicians know that there are consequences for corrupt practices. Nwobodo stole money from Nigerians and rightly went to prison for his crimes.

5. There is no evidence that Jonathan has empowered women in Nigeria. Just because his corrupt administration is composed of corrupt women like Diezani and NOI does not mean that the life of the average Nigerian woman is better. Women are suffering and hungry in Nigeria

6. This woman should campaign using the achievements of her husband instead of calling people names and insulting General Buhari and other opponents.

It is too late now. General Buhari will be her President- Elect this time next week.

#wehavedecided

Everything you said and more. Why GEJ keeps allowing this woman to continue in her show of shame is beyond me.

emmadejust:
is that what you understand about my message?

what my msg mean is that the little touch of cash he started handling at early age without morality guidance, self discipline, fear of God, and psychological directions in what will fit his future personality , lead him to being gay.

You must be an ignoramus. Moronic statements like this actually churns my stomach.

Oh Nigerians, my people.
Why are we so ignorant? So he said he is Gay! Kini big deal?? All of you who are criticizing him are no better. Some of you are even quoting scriptures, like you lead exemplary religious lives.
Oh please shut up you lots!!!
Mason, please quit worrying about your parents, you are a young man and on the right track. You must learn to say NO to them, and stand by your NO. Your parents will come around surely.

komputa29:
Yeah, we did it after convincing them that there was no way we couldn't make the PFT cos I came first in d race and did up to 60 seat up and press up. We waited until the last people schedule for that day had their interview. We did it around 6pm.

But do/did you know that so many people who did higher number sit-ups and push ups were actually doing it wrongly? And as such failed the PFT??

Says who? Applicants are dam vexed! FAAN is not yet closer at al not to tlk of not yet there. What kind of statistics is FAAN publishin on dia website wen she has already met her waterloo already? Da goals FAAN proclaimed to be her parameters are not objective at al rather subjective. Why did I say dis? Imagin, a testee's success lies on his or her state of origin performance! And FAAN never took cognizance dt majority of da testees who scored very high mobilized people to join dem to observe da aptitude test at dia various comfort zones. As it stands now, majority of da inmates wil b tynkn perhaps i faild n dt ws y i was lamentin bt sori to say, I PASSED......lol. Obviousli, dis acts have jeopardized FAAN's goals. It wud v bin worthwhile had it bin FAAN contracted dis tests to outstandin CBT centres so as to manifest da psychometric properties of test administration. Tyns r just up-syd-down wit FAAN. Wit dis latest FAAN Public Update, wich position wud an applicant wit M.Sc in Geology wud v applied for? Or he wil swallow M.Sc and be applyin wit B.SC......lol.............. FAAN nids experts and not wannabes!

Mofetemi...I have been reading your posts, and honestly speaking/writing, I am disappointed. The FAAN recruitment exercise was a success. It was the most organized mass recruitment exercise this country has ever done. I understand that you met some hardship when you tried to participate, but I will attribute that to your own carelessness and nonchalance. You got the text, fine, but you were also instructed to check their website for detailed info. The website stated that only high scorers who weren't successful were needed to partake in the supplementary exercise. But you and others chose to ignore that instruction and go anyway, so why blame FAAN??
You have an MSc (which you love to throw around), yet you can't comprehend simple instruction? Oga Ade calm down.
FAAN did a good job. Those of us who participated can testify. I have no GodFather, but I reached the interview stage. So wtf are u talking about??
All the people complaining should please stop and move on...my 2 pence.

Hmnn, I missed the time scheduled for my batch on wed Bt later did wt another set on thur. About 8 of us could get sms for interview the following day as it was applicable to many of d set that we took the PFT together. We stood on their neck throughout Friday and Saturday. Despite several assurance that we would get our sms, we insisted to take the interview and we were interviewed very lately on sat. After leaving lag dt sat nite, I got the said sms on Monday inviting me for the interview. The other people called upon receiving d text but we decided not to go again. I don't know if this could actually affect us? I pray it doesn't oooo

Wait, are you saying you did the interview without actually receiving a text?
