The bolded is likely true.

Took my test once and had 2125 points.

I didn't click on the 'retake ur test option'.I answered my stage 4 test(first go),clicked on submit,it showed n error stuff n when I clicked on ok,it reloaded new set of questions. Same thing happened twice n after d third time it showed me successful. Only to check my dashboard d next day n my profile was asking me to rake d stage 4 test-like I didn't do so already. I took d test n now the result is out. So it's not like I ever clicked on d retake ur test button so definitely its an error on their part.
Thanks

Got 4 stars.funny how I scored 75% and 5 points knowing I finished the test on time-all this after answering up to 4 different set of questions due to their network palava.hoping d end is successful though

sholay2011:
You can be sure of the wrong answers too.

Maybe true but when u re truly gud at maths n have good word problem solving skills chances of such errors become very slim

Tobby7:
I did the prechat/aptitude test, panel interview and also ED interview all in march at Marina. I was called yet again for 2 other interviews, few others and i were interviewed to work in other depts(even though we all aplied for the customer service job). We later did our medicals 13th of April, and since then we have not been contacted. Anyone with similar issue?

Pls how did you all apply

deluxecad:
You would be more confident of the outcome of a test if Math questions were more. You are sure when you solve correctly. I hate English jare. Stage 4 na yawa.

Nice to know someone also has my viewpoint. In total I answered mine up to 4 times.3 times without success b4 giving it a break n trying abt 2 days later.I bliv I did well but wasn't too happy cos d one that was eventually submitted had less maths questions than I luv (compared to d previous 3). Like u said ,am more confident in this area ,probably cos its my strenght

If people talk now they will say they are being targeted. Why does everything has to be about Igbos? Why must you bring tribe into it?

Someone started with Yoruba before the Igbo own came up. We never heard anyone making useless tribal noise over it when the Igbo own came out. The Hausa own is out now and you already started you tribal noise.

Why are you people the noisiest sets? [i](Apologies to my reasonable brothers for this)[/i]And when the heat is turned up now they start crying foul for the whole world to hear.

Tribalistic bigots all over the place.

Very true.reason y I said its a Nigerian problem.when I also viewed d thread about d Igbo dialects,I saw comments saying Igbos are copying yorubas and the Yoruba's lead n odas follow. And now am seeing this too from an Igbo abt d Hausa thread.it's really a bad thing to do n I think it has to do with ppls mindset. Am not Yoruba but I enjoyed d piece on Yoruba dialect n also enjoyed DAT on Igbo dialect(am Igbo).really was looking to see a thread on Hausa dialects too n now its here.and u know y I enjoyed them? Its cos I see each as educational piece of work.but lots of Nigerians see things from an angle of competition. Just hoping things will get better sha. I don tire to dey see e-war and online bravado

Alikaxon:
It is not delta igbo, It is Agbor language.

So asaba is also agbor language?

H-Net Announcement The Union Igbo Bible:A Centenary
Location: Nigeria
Symposium Date: 2013-11-25 (Archive)
Date Submitted: 2013-08-10
Announcement ID: 205796
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, GREGORY UNIVERSI TY UTURU NIGERIA in Conjunction with the RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
Cordially invite you to 3rd International Symposium tagged:

THE UNION IGBO BIBLE: A CENTENARY.
Exactly hundred years ago, the Union Igbo Bible was produced in Egbu Owerri(1913).The translation from English Bible to Igbo lasted between 1906 to 1913.The Archdeacon Dennis led committee used the Igbo dialects of Onitsha, Owerri,Bonny, Arochukwu, and Uwana. Instead of embracing Union Igbo Bible as breakthrough in Igbo language development, an attempt towards Igbo language standardization and collective means of communication of NDI IGBO, it was out rightly rejected. The Union Igbo Bible was described as artificial lingua franca (Esperanto), a language of the prayer book and the Bible. To a large extent, inter denominational rivalry aroused when the Union Igbo Bible was produced. This great disservice to appreciate Archdeacon Dennis ingenuity is unscholarly, subjective and uncalled for. Unfortunately, leading scholars have described the Union Igbo as unreadable and unacceptable. It is against this background that the following sub themes are selected but not restricted to it:
.The Role of Christian Missionaries in Igbo Language Development
. Archdeacon Dennis, Union Igbo, Anglican Communion and Other Denominations
. Esperanto Igbo language and the School Curriculum
.The Rise of Igbo Orthography
.Igbo Izugbe,(Standard Dialect)and the Igbo novelists
.Literary Criticism and the Spoken Igbo
.Igbo Nollywood,.Engli-Igbo Film and the Theatre
.Igbo Language and the fear of Extinction
Historical Perspective of Igbo Language Development
Standardization Controversy: A Review
Igbo Language and The Christian Worship

Again u read online materials. Am telling u we've always had an Igbo bible.that as a kid going to village for festive activities, d Igbo bible has always been there n u re quoting something. Are u in anyway assuming that I am lying or u don't understand what am saying

HopeAtHand:
The op of this thread has maliciously included Ikwerre amongst the various Igbo clans.

The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria recognises the Igbo and Ikwerre as two separate tribes..Nigerians can always refer to the constitution whenever that need arises.

We are not surprised at the Igbos and their tendencies because other Nigerians can prove that are always a provocative tribe and have the nature of attaching themselves to other people either by hook or crook.

tonychristopher, Pazienza, emmysoftyou, babyosisi, freeglobe, Abagworo and other NL igbos should do well to inform the op.

U may have a point but have u ever asked when the Nigerian constitution was made.before the constitution took effect,we already had ppl living in various part of the country. So even if u re ryt,it is wrong to refer sm1 to a constitution that isn't up to a quarter as old as the ppl to know their history

BabaO2:
No, they can't counter, only to display their inferiority complex, reason why they can't have complete holy bible in ibo language. It is good to lead and others follow.

I am in my late twenties and we always had an Igbo Bible right from when I was a kid. Problem with Nigeria is that we rarely travel to other places or even bother to learn about them so we make so many false assumptions. You really don't realise how big and diverse this country is.firstly, this is not a counter but another educative piece ( maybe not complete) just like that of yoruba,for us to learn.looking forward to seeing same for other languages.Nigeria will be better, if we begin seeing things this way.thanks

Jagaban one of Bougu Kingdom. Below are his talents in the West:

Fashola - Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
Ambode - Chartered Accountant with explicable experience
Amosun - FCA - Fellow Chartered Accountant
Aregebesola - Engineer
Ajimobi - Engineer with Experience with shell.
Fayemi - PhD holder with specialiazation in security matter etc.
Osinbanjo - Professor of Law

However in Ekiti they care for their stomachs and have decided to leave Jagaban out and elect a thug.


When other regions follow this footsteps. Then you will progress like the west. The north has started adopting this...but it's a problem implementing this in the east where a state like Abia has a huge talent like Alex Otti to take them to a new level after years of experience as the GMD of Diamond bank...but have decided to allow the most useless governor in Nigeria history rig elecTions for his candidate.


Jagaban Bougu...may you leave long Sir!!!

I get where u re driving at but u are probably missing the point.its not about whether they are trained professionals but its about personality n integrity.are u saying we don't have corrupt doctors,engineers,lawyers and so on.d southeast u erroneously accuse have got mostly trained professionals as Governors as well, same as south south.ofcourse u wouldn't know this cos it isn't ur region n u never knew some of them b4 they became Governor. Again another attempt to give this thread an inclination of tribal n ethnic bigotry which isn't good 4 Nigeria.

jomoh:
Most of the people that voted for him are majorly illiterate that has no access to the internet to know the kind of crime he is supposed to face. Same cannot be said of people (even on NL here)that see the truth and still go ahead to make excuse for such by claiming a conspiracy against their people.

I understand your view of trying to plead to people to shun Tribalism. I will also like a Nigeria free from tribalism but we can't achieve that if we don't eliminate favouritism towards people of our own tribe(Nepotism).

By favouring your people above other tribe even when your people has not done well will eventually lead to tribalism because in the end the person will eventually alienate himself and his tribe from other tribes.

OBJ may be a scumbag but he is one of the most detribalised Nigerian leaders ever. Even if his own daughter is caught in a wrong act he won't protect her.

#SayNoToNepotism and #Tribalism will be greatly reduced.

Nice post again. But to add to this, Nepotism isn't a tribal thing but it cuts across all spheres of life n all tribes.even in local govts(all Nigerian tribes) u see an instance where d chairman exhibits favouritism to ppl from his town/village. So its a general problem.
Again u said most of the ppl who voted him in were illiterates(possibly true as I can tell).Why then don't u think d Igbo's who would be defending such things are not right thinking .(hope u get my point here) .its wrong to generalise using comments of 10-20 persons in a race with millions of ppl. We all should shun stereotyping n tribalism.#real naija prblm

GodMode:
Itshekiri is adulterated/broken yoruba language..

People can name their children how they like.

Maybe u re right. But in most Nigerian languages,twins have traditional names n not just how u like

chamboy:
I rep Ijesa(osun)

Meanwehile rotimi amaechi reps itshekiri
so ppl should stop calling him a betrayal... he only rejoined his Yoruba brothers

O really. Well u must have said it based on d info u have.but google ikwere dialect or ask elders who know so they tell u d language with that dialect. Better still study their market names and the traditional no of days in a week(4 days) and their names so u also get.no beef bro,just 4 educational purpose

pcguru1:
Yeah I failed GTB like 3 times it was depressing everyone wanted me to be a banker till I closed eye and followed my programming. Not everyone's meant for the bank am glad I never passed. Where I work gives me Intense knowledge and irony is the company I work with no Nigerian bank cannot avoiding working with them.

Pls how do I get to apply n even sit for these bank exams.

jomoh:
You're right.

Also on the other hand if he were to be an igbo man, instead of being condemned like the people from ogun state has been condemning him, what his kinsmen like you will have been writing is, "they are conspiring against the igbos".

Is that not?

Nepotism is worst............#SayNoToNepotism

U are also right bro but it depends on the angle u re coming from. Definitely, rumours about his drug connections were known b4 d elections.so it can also be argued that d ppl of Ogun defended him with their votes.now u see my point.or do u think d no of nairalanders(from Ogun state) commenting are more than those who voted 4 him.a definite no.truth is we all should curtail tribalism as almost every Nigerian has can element of it.tanx

Atmmachine:
Now check this out.
Do Americans speak or write British English. How does that sound ??
Your father wasted his money sending you to school

Just couldn't pass this without commenting( already ignored 'and you're a Nigerian graduate'). Pls remember no one is above learning, we learn everyday.so it's wrong to come out n proudly defend your mistake.correct form is 'Do Nigerians speak' and 'Does he speak' .we keep learning till we leave this world,so humility pays

The issue of Unemployment to me is a very terrible form of cancer that eats a person slowly and progressively and if not cured on time with some form of intervention by way of a job etc, such an individual if not careful will most likely deteriorate more or less become a shadow of his/her real self.
I say this using myself as a particular example because my life ,i am convinced, is a classic example of a man who has hit rock bottom due to unemployment and literally digging further down through the rock bottom as it seems like life isn't exactly done dishing out disappointments to me.
this will not be the first time i will be posting an article as regards the subject of unemployment and it wont be my last even if i eventually secure some form of gainful employment because i consider myself a really tough person and this one singular problem has really shaken me to the point i have all but lost hope.
Briefly, i am a petroleum engineer , Graduated from FUTO 2010/11 with a Beng 2'1, finished service 2012 and have remained jobless to this very minute, in retrospect i have to admit much of my problems was caused by me because maybe i was just too over confident, i was making decent grades and i was sure i wouldn't ever have a problem securing employment ,or maybe i was just unwise and at worst plain stupid. there had been a few opportunities ( say about 2) during service where i could have gained employment in a bank and maybe because i am just too fixated in an engineering job or maybe i am just not wise enough, i never really took any of these opportunities serious.
in effect i still think the problems i am facing now where caused by me and me alone because somewhere deep down i know i have what it takes to succeed in any of these 'majors'

i think if i have been to approximately 20 different job aptitude test/scholarship exams ; Akwa ibom at least 5 times Porth Harcourt at least 11 times , Lagos at least four times and i reside in calabar so one can already imagine the financial implications a well as kilometers traveled and in all this i have only made it to the second stage twice after which i crash out.

I have to mention i did an offshore safety training *(cost me money i hardly had) , hoping to get a job in Lagos cuz i was promised one only to travel to Lagos to be interviewed and i was told i could not be taken .

the worst part is the psychological/physical deterioration that comes with constant worry , the depression, the loneliness, right now i only receive a phone call from just one person, a girl am with and that's it.. i had to deactivate my Facebook because i was quite tired of going in there and seeing picture updates of my friends doing pretty well and i look at my situation and feel like a complete utter looser.
the saying that failure has no friends and success has many friends is indeed very true.. tested and trusted.

My parents (thank God i still have em both around) always try to encourage me ,telling me i should never loose hope that my time is coming but i cannot help feeling i have let them down cuz they had pretty high expectations as regards me.

So this is it, a man close to 30 with a degree , little or no relevant working experience and broke as they come. well dear friends its not over until you find yourself in a "strange land' with only angels walking about so till that time one must try never to give up

for those who have jobs and are in a potion to help , please help those you can , each one teach one and before we know it brick by brick we would have built a formidable wall against unemployment.

Again thanks to the op , i always love an opportunity to share my experiences , maybe somebody out there will learn from it.

It is well my brother. O ga dinma .Also hunting for a better job n I just had to quote you for a reason.to remind u in not too distant time I told u so

Oh Lawd,

please make this Lagos oil be a reality, in short, make all Yorubaland become oil producing area - so that this fraud called One Nigeria go quickly split.

Not a good thing to say. In other words if it isn't true u will want one Nigeria.but if its true then u re OK with d splitting. Brother easy o,that's selfishness and its d problem of Nigeria today.I keep saying it ,almost every Nigerian has elements of tribalism.

8500 points and 85%.used my own CV so I don't think it had any effect

anthoniosp:
#nowthatbabaisthere...if u think u can get me off by all u saying u wrong..you keep insulting nd orubebeing..nd I keep JEGAing..but you don't get picture..I dnt wanna argue..lol..I dnt wanna fight u..I jst wnt 2 tell u dat am nt saying u stupid am saying the part of ur brain that controls ur thinking is dead...ok..#now_that_u_gat_my_precious_attention....if u are pained because buhari won..just go nd jump..no..fly off the empire state building..nd stop crying on my head..stop ur bitching nd smack urself outta it...forming maturity nd yet u keep yapping on som1 who is victorious..#sore_looser..

Again throwing abuses instead of engaging in a civil discussion.go through my comment u quoted n do same to urs.really tells alot

splashbaby:
You must be smoking dry shi.t to quote me and still not make any sense. You are an ethnocentric loving bigot, high on ethnic superiority elixir... FYI don't quote me again if you can't make sense else you will find yourself within the shooting range of devastating words... It will hurt you.

Another cry baby ranting on the internet. Feeling like a genius typing insults on a faceless forum.grow up kid

SLIDEwaxie:
The good thing is, they call us coward, but na only Yoruba people dey face these people. Out Igbo brothers just dey throw threats like spear...

Yorubas and Fulani's don dry clash since time memorial. But as much as dem kill igbos reach, na mouth!

We go retaliate, we go throw bomb, we go finish u, we go erase u...

Like fela said, "i go beat u die", na shakara.

Not d ryt thing to say.there is a difference in facing them in ur region to facing them in theirs.u fit ho face them for kano or Katsina? Not like they r killing IBO's I enugu. Embrace peace n forget all this bravery balderdash

AutosBay:
Push CV is an affiliate program, anytime you see the word referral it just tells you its a money making program, but honestly speaking if you did not pay to upload your CV you have nothing to loose, but sincerely speaking its an affiliate program whereby the organization earns money, infact they need as many applications as possible, haven't you asked yourself this question " you get a low score you still qualify for the next Stage"? My fellow Nigerians be wise.

Not so true. Lots of ppl ve been disqualified at d 3rd stage. Even those who scored 50%. Cut off was 60%

Checked mine.8500 points and 85% .chose IT and Engineering. Will take d stage 4 aptitude test today

mrtidier:
The IT/Engineering test was piece of cake. I think i aced it .Less than than Jamb Questions. The only issue might be the time factor like they did in the first test. I finished with 28minutes remaining. I know thats gonna affect the score.

Imagine qustions like









They also asked stuff like What is the brain of a computer and What property of a light wave is determined by its wavelength? Pretty easy stuff if you ask me. No kidding. The more important factor is TIME.

1) 12
2) 8
3) perpendicular, u solve this by finding d gradient by making y subject formula.

No time,would be provided more details

TristanReveur:
Tell me. When a very unprepared GEJ was winning 5 out of 6 southwest states as a PDP candidate in 2011, were Yorubas tribalistic then?

And when Obj won all d south east states as a PDP candidates,were igbos tribalistic? D problem in Nigeria today is double standards. group A cries foul n u call it propaganda. Group B cries foul n u assume its genuine .And you think u be a balanced n not a biased view of things.its both ways bro.almost every Nigerian has an atom of ethnic inclination. Once u dispute this, u ain't sincere

sammieguze:
I still find it funny when igbo people call yoruba people dirty...

I mean... I have been to three eastern states and the issue of cleanliness is the same.


So, it is quite funny when i see you people call yoruba people dirty.


Maybe it is coz you have been o lagos and mind you, the bulk of the wastes was and is still generated my non yoruba's.

Call yoruba people something else but definitely not dirty.

U see my dear,u re now getting my point.but its not only igbos that call yorubas dirty, go to d south south as well or in warri where I live n ppl say same.its d problem with stereotyping in this country. A lot of things are exaggerated. Again u noticed I said something abt people thinking Hausas are dull which ain't tru as well

splashbaby:
You are a professional mumu. We are talking about the fraudulent enterprise of your stvpid kinsmen depriving hard working Yoruba producers the joy of enjoying the benefits of their hard work... You are here spewing nonsense. Let me educate properly about the Nollywood industry.

Nollywood movies of 2014 produced by Yoruba producers

1. October 1 is N330m in
box office rating.

October 1 is a 2014 Nigerian psychological thriller written by Tunde Babalola, produced and directed by Kunle Afolayan. Aba boys are feeding fat on this movie right now producing massive pirated copies and selling them home and abroad.

2. ’30 Days In Atlanta’ made N85m in 8 weeks at the box office.
30 Days in Atlanta, is a feature film produced by comedian Ayo Makun, aka AY.

Those stvpid Nna bros are on a rat race to out sell and out produce the original as I type. And you think AY will be smiling at your kinsmen feasting on his hard work.

Not only Yoruba producers suffer most from this legalise stealing you're trying to defend but also Igbo producers as well. As I write this "Half a Yellow
Moon" have turned into full black moon in the hand of those Aba urchins pirating it...

Confirm mumu.where in my comment did I support piracy.seems u re very dull.I am against piracy.u should be stated 'depriving hardworking Nigerians' instead of firstly saying depriving hardworking yorubas before acknowledging they also deprive some hardworking Igbo producers.it would ve sounded balanced.but surely u didn't see that since u love tribal bigotry
