I hope this doesn't reach 8-0

I hope Okon from China will not come and flog someone 2 days later o

The way these Supersports analysts are hyping Nigerian players, I hope they wont get heart attack.

Falcons have not been exciting in recent times, or at the world stage at aĺl, to elicit these expectations o.

Given that Norwegian women have beaten even more
exciting Falcon teams in the past. Beaten Nigeria 3 out of 3 times at previous editions.

He didn't even make England's under-21 team. Na wao

To be honest i understand everyone's point but i can assure you that it is easier said than done. people may not understand what it means to board a plane, take off and land successfully until they become that " 1 in 11 million" (like someone said) unfortunate soul(s) to experience a crash as a result of turbulence. I used to be a very carefree person until i experienced the pain of accident maybe that's why i know better.

Same here. I used to be very carefree. I just sleep off no matter how short the flight is. In fact, I had been in a very severe turbulence before, Doha-Lagos in January 2013. I was still very calm.

But since that ET incident in March this year, flying has never been the same for me again.

Pius Adesanmi that died in the Ethiopian crash in March was a close friend. I never thought I would know someone personally in a plane crash. Since that incident, all the about 10 or so times I had flown between March and today, I got scared at the slightest issue - even mild turbulence. It's scary.

majestique:
Turbulence can cause plane crashes, either as the primary reason for an accident or a contributing factor.
According to the FAA, 234 turbulence accidents occurred from 1980 to 2008 resulting in 298 serious injuries and three fatalities. Of those serious injuries, 184 victims were flight attendants and 114 were passengers. Of the three fatalities, two were passengers who were not wearing their seat belts while the fasten seatbelt sign was on. Most turbulence-related accidents occur at or above 30,000 feet and many are linked to passengers not being securely fastened in their seats.

In 1966, a British Overseas Airways plane crashed and the tail fin tore apart after experiencing winds in excess of 140 miles per hour. In 1968, turbulence tore a wing off a Wien Consolidated Airlines flight in Alaska. More recently, in 2009 an Air France flight flew into a storm. In an attempt to steer away from inclement weather, the pilot sent the plane into an aerodynamic stall, which caused the plane to crash. In that tragedy, a combination of turbulence, airspeed sensor malfunction and most likely pilot error all contributed to the crash.

This stat says it all.

Over 28 years (1980 - 2008), 3 persons died from turbulence issues and it was because of not fastening seat belt (probably hitting head against something or a trauma), not that the plane crashed.

You were able to dig out only 3 air crashes in history from turbulence - one in 1966, another in 1968 and another in 2009. Millions of air travels in that period. And in almost all the 3 cases, turbulence was only a contributory factor, pilot error was the main issue.

Still supports the stat that chance of accident happening from turbulence is extremely low.


PS: Knowing this stat since about 10 years ago, I always felt relaxed no matter the turbulence, but since the crash of March 10 where I lost a senior friend, I get scared at any slight issue now. I hope I overcome it and return to my good old days of enjoying flight.

I used to be extremely relaxed in plane no matter the degree of turbulence, but since I lost a close person in the Ethiopian crash of March 10, every slight issue inside an aircraft scares me stiff.

Good evening jarus,
Please when will you be having another WhatsApp career seminar for final year students/fresh graduates. I have a kid sister still in final year and she is really confused on what next after graduating. You, being one with huge experience in the job market, I believe your advice would be helpful. I would not mind paying for your service to her. Awaiting your response.

Send me a pm

Good day boss,
I hope this message meet you well. I will like to get some clarifications regarding employment in Nigeria, I have your whatsapp number as I'm a member of the Whatsappp Jarushub career Club. I write to seek your permission to send you a message.
I will be anticipating your reply.

Regards.

Pls do. Response may be a little delayed, but will respond.

nurd:
Thanks so much. Took a while to understand the terms you used in your answer. But all is good.

If I get invited, expect me to come for your coaching, in sha Allãh.

Cheers!

All the best bro.

nurd:
Thanks. Here it is again.

For those who have experience:

Can I use my freelancing experience on my CV? Been freelancing for like 3 years...

If there you were not in a structured employment, add it. Better than having a gap on your CV. Those are the areas that trigger difficult questions in NNPC interview, where a good number of the questions will be from your CV.

But if you were in a structured employment, no matter how insignificant, put it, as it is better than freelancing for this kind of job.

So here is my ranking

Nothing/gap < freelancing experience < structured employment.

All the best.

nurd:
Hi, can you assist with my question above?

What's the question?

badassdude:
Sir, when you say "upfront ", does that mean we will be given money for one year at once and we won't expect anything until the following year?

Yes, except the monthly payment of 190k (for GT) as someone posted earlier and 13th month (like extra 1 month salary) in November or so.

Of course, there are other irregular payments like estacode when you travel etc

Traditional British setting.

Britain has a very rich tradition that people may not know.

I once stayed in a traditional British hotel, Chesterfield Hotel, Mayfair, that showcases traditional British tradition - from the building to the dining setting to the food.

When you use all those multinational hotel brands like Hilton, Novotel etc in London, you may not get enough feel of British tradition.

Some of you think this is a joke right, let me tell you guys something, I have data to waste & I can make this thread unbearable to you people.

So let peace reign & stop with the CBT questions or Better yet open a new thread & go show how brilliant you are with ur fellow "knowledge seekers". WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE ANSWERS NOR QUESTION. I really dislike people who keep living in the past

Sorry, you can't tell people what to post on this thread inasmuch as it is NNPC-related. Just ignore the comments you're not interested in.

This is not a Whatsapp group where the Admin makes rules. This is Nairaland, a public forum, and Seun's rules are clear - only off-topic is not allowed (rule 1) and the topic here is NNPC job. Any comment on NNPC job is not off-topic.

cameeeeel:
SS6 is for GT.

Then it should be SS1,2&3 - supervisors.

Madrid goes after the most sought after player every year just to own you, and consolidate their galactico philosophy, even if they will bench you.

Like Rodriguez after WC 2014.

klassd:
Salary is 190k actually

Ok. Thanks. Knew it should be within that range.

Do you know for SS4, 5 & 6?

The upfront and the monthly.

Heard it is N8m upfront for one of them.

skedemi:
How about for GT please?

N4m upfront in January. Not sure of monthly pay after that. Possibly 250k.

I think Americans are still largely fine with him. He should win 2nd term easily.

Thanks for sharing the link boss,

One can painstakingly read through and learn a lot more.

Material could be useful for you guys' interview preparation. Breakdown of petroleum industry issues.

The PIGB is just a caption of PIB. It doesnt consists of the splitting aspect. Read well plz

smh

I'm an authority on PIB. I made inputs into PIB.

I have written extensively on PIB. I have delivered lectures on PIB in Nigeria and abroad. I have been in same conference room in London with Senate consultants on PIB where we discussed the Bill extensively.

Some of my articles on PIB

Old info.

Yaya Jammeh is no longer the president of Gambia.

Weah had probably not become president at the time the blogger did that report.

simplebb:
Thanks for the input Oga Jarus.

Two major events, I know anything government there are always intricacies....

On the leadership, Baru has done well since his inception as GMD NNPC, was even commended sometimes ago by the first GMD of the corporation Sir Marinho, though there is still more to do as regards NNPC profitability. He might still be retained the same way Emefiele was retained (though this is two totally different organizations, and I don't know the politics that goes on in there) but his chances of carrying on are quite strong.

On the Unbundling, that is one big factor. one can only hope if the president assent to it, the implementation should not be immediate cos that would definitely slow down the recruitment as they will need to put a lot of things in order.

I agree there is a very high chance that Buhari retains the GMD.

simplebb:
Well suggested considering the post test decisions, you know a lot of things will be considered.

To me, they might decide to first release test scores before calling for interview and they might not.

NNPC has shown seriousness with this recruitment, updating every stage of the recruitment on Twitter and several national dailies, I didn't even expect us to write test as early as June after application closed towards March ending considering the long time frame of government organizations recruitment (DPR own be like 2 yrs course lol).

So on that note, July ending at max we should have update on interview.

We pray they don't suspend it like the 2012 own.

P.S: It's good to start preparation early.

A major event that may slow down the process is change of NNPC GMD.

If GMD is changed with Buhari's second coming (which I doubt) it may slow the process. Change of GMD could mean the new GMD will reorganize the departments and top management, including the COO Services, who is the highest executive sponsor of this recruitment. This may lead to this recruitment falling in priority for some time.

Change of government stopped the 2014 recruitment they were doing.

Another potential event that could cause delay, perhaps even cancellation, is presidential assent of PIGB, which unbundles NNPC into 2 different companies. Depending on whether it will take immediate effect or there will be a transition period that could be up to a year, this recruitment may be suspended or even canceled is NNPC is split sooner. You guys should hope the recruitment is completed before this happens.

The Bill was sent to the president last year but he rejected it and the Senate has made amendments and ready to be returned to the President for assent.

You may hope that the incoming NASS does not give it an immediate priority or the president rejects it again or there is a relatively long transition period (eg a year) if signed now.
