DPRmoniker:
I have tried to come in for few days now but had password issues.

Personally, I detest injustice and I’m an anti-corruption advocate. Let me first of all sympathize with those that put in sincere efforts to get this job, eventually got it on paper but have been (or would be) replaced by others who are connected. It pains me and I have to tell you this.

Meet anybody you know – friends, former/present DPR high ranking staff, minister, senator/HOR member, governor, etc – to establish if you are selected and to ensure your letter does not disappear. ‘Influential’ people continue to flood/pressure DPR with their candidates’ details. Some would have their way and names probably swapped. If you have nobody, unfortunately you may resort to prayers (if that works anyway) and hope to be among the merit names that would remain at the end of this recruitment bazaar. For whatever reason, they are just reluctant to push out all remaining letters to candidates.

This is a recruitment that was designed with superb matrix to pick the best, but sadly this is what it has degenerated into. Admitted, it is not easy to ignore politicians (who appointed you and cover you), relatives/former staff (whom you may be loyal to) or staff union, but then I NEVER expected it to end up this way. However, I am not saying that nobody it on merit.

For those regretting not going to press or social media to agitate, that is good but the follow up questions would be what evidence you have. Nairaland posts? What evidence do you have that more merit names on the list are not receiving offer letters? How did you know that many employed candidates did not merit it? What are you protesting for, by the way? Did you see anyone’s name? Do you just wake up and accuse them of malpractice?
Only with the initial/comprehensive list can you answer these but they are a smart bunch as well. They covered the tracks cleverly and any lawful body that can question them has been offered some slots, thereby compromising them. Even some relatives of some ‘big men’ who just finished master’s degree abroad last May/June have been smuggled into the process with fabricated test and interview scores. A pity!

The message is, act fast if you can! However, you must know that even if it’s 100% on merit, not everybody will get the job but let there be transparency, openness and fairness. Good luck to you all! Also consider that DPR may not even be what you need after all.

Pls don’t send me PM because that mail cannot be accessed.

I guess this is Mr. Marvel. Just thinking out loud

Please what about Ekiti state?? Kindly update us. Thanks

Fellow hopefuls, I had an urge to write these. Let me firstly say that I haven't received any APL. You may want to say I have no sponsor but that's not true. I have an elite and well known Nigerian who could at a phone call to the director have my name on the stakeholders' list but he chose not to but rather instructed me to go write the CBT and pass. I did pass and was called for the interview, then I called him, he said I should wait until the result is out. But here we are (lol):
I chose to write these because I wanted us to think outside the box for the following reasons:
1. I think Mr. Shakur has worked hard to make this recruitment merit based. If not, it would have been done at the back door like other Mdas recruitments.
2. Let's remember Mr. Shakur is a man and he has blood running in his vein like you and I. With the info we've gotten here, he's sacrificed few slots for the stakeholders to make room for the common candidates.
3. DPR wouldn't have sent some of the staff on training if they'd not wanted fairness in this recruitment.
4. Letters won't just be signed now if they'd wanted to consider the stakeholders' candidates alone.
Lemme quickly say that if you are close to military personnel, you'll understand that every segment in Nigeria seems like a chess board where everything is well planned and staged like the pawns, rooks, knights, Bishops, Queen and King. That's Nigeria for us.
Please, this is a faceless platform, we are hurt (every common candidate is) but let's tender our hurts to the management respectfully. Protest or no protest, the management is aware of what they've done. Let's give DPR the benefit of doubt till next week friday.
I think the best way to handle this is to go to the headquarters in our numbers and respectfully ask questions.
But then, if you've not gotten your APL, that's never the end of life. I believe one day, we'll all look back and ruminate on 2016 - 2018 and remember that DPR recruitment was part of that phase but all we'll do is smile and say God, I thank you.
Patience is a virtue earned most times through hard experiences. The one who owns our life is the Master Chess player, He knows the best hopefuls, lemme say; Las las, we'll all be alright by His Grace.
Peace.
