People are still disturbing themselves over this NNPC stuffs. The job they've already shared. Even jarus know this, but he's not telling you anything. Continue ehhhn, the lord is ur strenght o

irumole1975:
While I understand that most of u r probably 3rd class graduates, who can't even match side with me, talk less off constructing proper English to drive home ur point. I won't take insult

irumole1975:
Garage boy? Why is it difficult for most to accept that the nnpc test invites conducted recently reeks of biasness? That explains why most qualified candidates were never shortlisted. I leave u to judge

irumole1975:
You guys sef. God will help you o. I could remember some weeks back when NNPC didnt shotlist me for test, i almost kill myself despite how good, smart and intelligent I am. I even had a 2'1 o. Some people here with a 3rd class were even shortlisted. This recruitment already reeks of biasness.

irumole1975:
I dont know how profile of someone like you was even viewed not to talk of getting invited sef. Even with your first class coupled with the MSC., you still cannot match my 2'1.It is obvious from the way you discredit others here

irumole1975:
I'm sorry guys for being a nuisance here the past days. I was just pained about the whole nnpc stuffs. Not like they can really pay my salary really, my intentions were just to help them improve the company. That was why I applied in the first place. I believe I'm bigger than nnpc and they can't handle smart brain like me.

All the best guys

irumole1975:
Yeah, I really mean this. They can't pay my salary, that's just it. I applied just to help Nigeria and nnpc. I actually have one chemical like this, that can increase the nnpc yield. And I want to use my smart brain to help them too, as I was one of the best in my school (UNIBEN). coupled with the fact that I have a handsome face any girl will kill for. You can now see why nnpc need me?

irumole1975:
You people must really be some genius. How did you pass the dreaded test KPMG gave us that day?. I'm sure they themselves can't do that test and pass. I think some of you already have that question

Special mention to the AOLMAW (jarus, mosgoon, bobowaja, etc. Make una no vex oh, can't mention everyone), number5 in particular, you brought me out of Ghost Mode, you are that good, thanks for this wonderful piece.

Thanks to everyone who has in one way or another, extinguished the fires burning in my heart everytime someone in this same thread sets one in it. LOL.

A certain man said "No love lost, no love found". On this thread, you'll find love, just to lost it to find it again, and to lost it again, and find it again, and...

I've always wondered what words like "Mixed feelings, bitter-sweet, etc" meant, but I assure you now, that by this thread, I can not only describe them, but draw them (and label their parts) if you give me a paper and a pencil, thanks a lot guys.

It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I pray we make it to the end.

Shout out to my families in these areas that make my CV:

Mathematics
Kaduna state
Ekiti state
Kwara state
Kogi state
Bayelsa state.

Peace y'all.

DanXplore:
LMAO @ bolded. Later, If this dude doesn't get APL he'll begin to blame village people, haters of merit, process hijackers and even cook up theories & excuses. It's like you don't know nigerian interviewers. They will be nodding and smiling at you as your confidence to spew more trash/misfirings continues to grow and then they give you a handshake and score you zero in the end. I am trusting that that was not your case but then, you should know that a good manager of optimism is rarely heartbroken.

Lecture Title- THE TRUTH ABOUT BIG OIL AND CLIMATE CHANGE

In America, the world’s largest economy and its second biggest polluter, climate change is becoming hard to ignore. Extreme weather has grown more frequent. In November wildfires scorched California; last week Chicago was colder than parts of Mars.Scientists are sounding the alarm more urgently and people have noticed—73% of Americans polled by Yale University late last year said that climate change is real.

The left of the Democratic Party wants to put a “Green New Deal” at the heart of the election in 2020.
As expectations shift, the private sector is showing signs of adapting. Last year around 20 coal mines shut. Fund managers are prodding firms to become greener. Warren Buffett, no sucker for fads, is staking $30bn on clean energy and Elon Musk plans to fill America’s highways with electric cars.

Yet amid the clamour is a single, jarring truth. Demand for oil is rising and the energy industry, in America and globally, is planning multi-trillion-dollar investments to satisfy it. No firm embodies this strategy better than ExxonMobil, the giant that rivals admire and green activists love to hate. As our briefing explains, it plans to pump 25% more oil and gas in 2025 than in 2017. If the rest of the industry pursues even modest growth, the consequence for the climate could be disastrous.

ExxonMobil shows that the market cannot solve climate change by itself. Muscular government action is needed. Contrary to the fears of many Republicans (and hopes of some Democrats), that need not involve a bloated role for the state.

For much of the 20th century, the five oil majors—Chevron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, bp and Total—had more clout than some small countries. Although the majors’ power has waned, they still account for 10% of global oil and gas output and 16% of upstream investment. They set the tone for smaller, privately owned energy firms (which control another quarter of investment). And millions of pensioners and other savers rely on their profits. Of the 20 firms paying the biggest dividends in Europe and America, four are majors.

In 2000 bp promised to go “beyond petroleum” and, on the face of it, the majors have indeed changed. All say that they support the Paris agreement to limit climate change and all are investing in renewables such as solar. Shell recently said that it would curb emissions from its products. Yet ultimately you should judge companies by what they do, not what they say.

According to ExxonMobil, global oil and gas demand will rise by 13% by 2030. All of the majors, not just ExxonMobil, are expected to expand their output. Far from mothballing all their gasfields and gushers, the industry is investing in upstream projects from Texan shale to high-tech deep-water wells. Oil companies, directly and through trade groups, lobby against measures that would limit emissions. The trouble is that, according to an assessment by the ipcc, an intergovernmental climate-science body, oil and gas production needs to fall by about 20% by 2030 and by about 55% by 2050, in order to stop the Earth’s temperature rising by more than 1.5°C above its pre-industrial level.
It would be wrong to conclude that the energy firms must therefore be evil.

They are responding to incentives set by society. The financial returns from oil are higher than those from renewables. For now, worldwide demand for oil is growing by 1-2% a year, similar to the average over the past five decades—and the typical major derives a minority of its stockmarket value from profits it will make after 2030.

However much the majors are vilified by climate warriors, many of whom drive cars and take planes, it is not just legal for them to maximise profits, it is also a requirement that shareholders can enforce.

Some hope that the oil companies will gradually head in a new direction, but that looks optimistic. It would be rash to rely on brilliant innovations to save the day.
Global investment in renewables, at $300bn a year, is dwarfed by what is being committed to fossil fuels. Even in the car industry, where scores of electric models are being launched, around 85% of vehicles are still expected to use internal-combustion engines in 2030.

So, too, the boom in ethical investing. Funds with $32trn of assets have joined to put pressure on the world’s biggest emitters. Fund managers, facing a collapse in their traditional business, are glad to sell green products which, helpfully, come with higher fees. But few big investment groups have dumped the shares of big energy firms.

Despite much publicity, oil companies’ recent commitments to green investors remain modest. And do not expect much from the courts. Lawyers are bringing waves of actions accusing oil firms of everything from misleading the public to being liable for rising sea levels. Some think oil firms will suffer the same fate as tobacco firms, which faced huge settlements in the 1990s. They forget that big tobacco is still in business. In June a federal judge in California ruled that climate change was a matter for Congress and diplomacy, not judges.

The next 15 years will be critical for climate change. If innovators, investors, the courts and corporate self-interest cannot curb fossil fuels, then the burden must fall on the political system.

In 2017 America said it would withdraw from the Paris agreement and the Trump administration has tried to resurrect the coal industry. Even so, climate could yet enter the political mainstream and win cross-party appeal. Polls suggest that moderate and younger Republicans care. A recent pledge by dozens of prominent economists spanned the partisan divide.

The key will be to show centrist voters that cutting emissions is practical and will not leave them much worse off. Although the Democrats’ emerging Green New Deal raises awareness, it almost certainly fails this test as it is based on a massive expansion of government spending and central planning.

The best policy, in America and beyond, is to tax carbon emissions, which ExxonMobil backs. The
gilets jaunes in France show how hard that will be. Work will be needed on designing policies that can command popular support by giving the cash raised back to the public in the form of offsetting tax cuts. The fossil-fuel industry would get smaller, government would not get bigger and businesses would be free to adapt as they see fit—including, even, ExxonMobil.

PS: This isn't my handwriting. initially, I thought it was a joke or something lol..I have no idea what to write as I'm frying some personal beans rn, so I decided to share this beautiful article I read on "the Economist" sometimes ago. it's a lecture anyway it shouldn't be restricted to Nigeria alone. I hope y'all enjoy it too.

BenFlash:
@Number5, everyone is hailing you and your head is swelling bah. Oya give me back my note.






Nice write up...

moogoogaipan:
How did you miss my name?

smartzee01:
Coincidentally yes, I was interviewed on 3rd, cbt Bauchi
Wore ash coloured suit.

Enrypech:
Wow! Wow!!!

This is just beautiful, this is wonderful.

You always write right. I had read your previous posts before and noticed you play with grammar like no man's business. Keep writing bro

But with due respect sir, can you in one sentence tell me what you will be doing in the Towers with this your talent?

Briskroque:
You’re sighted !

mathology5431:
How else can i describe you my fellow Local Man!
You're just brilliant and emotionally intelligent!
The Association is just blessed!

herbdullahi1:
Nice one, thanks for the summary. Because of your post brother, I stopped being a ghost reader. Can't wait to celebrate with you and every other person in this thread on our NNPC APL which is coming so soon.

DarkShades:
My younger brother was also friends with mohammed. So if it is him the op was talking about, i can also ask my brother to ask around their circle of friends for more info for us.



@BenFlash Take note. It is a simple Yes or No question.

DarkShades:
Which of his sons? Is it Mohammed Baru that died in 2017? Jus wantu check sumthin

smartzee01:
Never wanted sayin a word though, but this is from a very good source, someone very close to the former GMD's son said :
printing of appointment letter started on friday 30th of August.
Only few people were allowed to enter the printing room and no one enters with his/her phone.
The GMD has stopped/limited any form of external factors and interference on the exercise.
The recruitment can stand out to be one of the best and most transparent in the history of NNPC recruitment.
He is not sure when APL will be released.
The question we should ask ourselves is how long will it take NNPC to print our APL?
Is there any meeting/ signing or any form of approval after the printing?
After answering all this, we can make a guess as to when APL will drop.
9/10th is still feasible if everything can happen within a week which I doubt much.

jlomz:
@Easymoneysniper will be holding a world press conference tomorrow by 6pm as regards Project Eagle "APL" Landing 9/10.
Kindly book for sit reservations as sits are limited.
NB: Kindly come along with a shock absorber so as to survive "APL Table Shaking"

Regards
For: AOLMAW Secretary

Donas11:
Local men and women,please join me and rejoice with me on the occasion of my 26th Birthday today... APL fall on me and everyone else.

gbenga44:
Happy Birthday ! But please confirm if its your NNPC age or Chronological age.

Just hearing from one “sauce” pan that NNPC will be using MRI scans during medicals for the first time. The MRI scanner was approved by the new GMD

menipo:
I just confirmed from a good sauce that's also spicy that the 9th & 10th is valid the only twist is that it's the presidential list that would be released

So brace yourselves guys.

The merit list like local men and women used to call it is actually on hold and nothing has been said if or when that would drop las las.

Peace and One love....
