24 months just for 8.75 km of road?

Good initiative though

Lol. I laugh in impossibilities

frog12:
shut up. you work for dpr

I wish I work there. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Hmm. Though the money seems quite large, but there are two ways to look at it. You might want to say that the salaries of the DPR staff is on the high side for civil/public servant and the same goes for other high paying public institutions like NNPC, FIRS etc. But you also have to look at the practices of the industry under which the institution operates. The oil industry is known to have high salary benefits to its employees all over the world. So if DPR and similar government agencies decides to pay it's staff what non oil related industry are paying, it will not get required technical manpower to perform it's operations most especially in the top management level and it will generally have a high employee turnover as its staff will port to private oil companies that pays will at any given opputunity.

And the writer of this piece does not understand what upfront payment is. It's an accumulation of benefits that is given once a year and at the beginning of the year and it varies across the seniority level. So it doesn't mean that all the employee got similar upfront some might have gotten more while other got less than what was stated in the article above.

Well, at this stage, our economy needs all the help it can get. I just pray that the money will be used judiciously after Senate approval and disbursement. And this will bring about the much talked about agricultural revolution, food import reduction, export increase and economic diversification.

A non lazy youth preferably one will agroallied experience will already be thinking of how to tap from this. There is much wealth to be made from the agricultural value chain.

Is there any forum similar to nairaland in Kenya?

I just edited this post to remove my account details. As much as I would like to get the money, I know that there are people out there that need it more than I. At least I should be able to survive till the lockdown is over by God's grace.

Good morning, have you been able to make withdrawal from the site? I was able to make 150$ and paid for referrals but they didn't acknowledge the payment. This I have done twice.
And I am getting some indications that the site is a scam site

Why don't you go and ask Dorsey or Zuckerberg for give away

Nawa for the person that wrote this article oo. What Prof. said is not even up to one paragraph and they turn it into a novel. If you want to write an opinion piece then write it separately not that we will now start searching for Prof's statement in all your opinion and history that we already know of.

Aptly put. It has always been on record that BHT use territories in to lake Chad region to launch attack and quickly retreat there when they are chased. If the Chad military was serious about the war against Boko Haram, when was the last time they performed any sizable operation against them even as the BHT are in their territory while we hear of the Nigeria military success against them almost on a weekly bases. And from the look of it this operation was only a one off operation that could not be sustained.

Love your videos. Already subscribed to your channel. It's will be good you bring your videos here more often

Thank you. Maybe my network connection is not strong enough cause all the call i tried gives me 401 error.

Playz:
Error 401 means the call was picked by someone else, you'll have to be faster when picking calls.
Slow down a bit though, money dey for air currently.

Hello guys, just a quick one. I just registered on QA world on Monday but i have not been able to get a transcription job there. I do refresh the page several time and whenever a job is listed and i click on it i get an error 401 message. Is there a specific time when i will be able to get transcription job? Thanks

Ouchbabe, it would be difficult to give a good advice without understanding the full context of things.
When did his attitude of staying out late start? Is it after he lost his job? If it is, then think it is as a result of the job loss. Maybe he can't stand being the man of the house and not being able to provide for his family instead having to rely on his wife for means of sustainance and how he tries to cope with that is by making himself unavailable to at least make it look like he is occupied with something. I know you might not see it this way. But you should understand that men have their egos and have different ways of dealing with when it is down.
Another thing that I would advise is for you to know the kind of friends he is going out with and if you talking terms with them, you should try and make known your displeasure about his attitude to them in a respectful manner. If his friends are responsible, they will talk sense to him. They major thing that he needs is a sense of purpose and responsibility.

Noooo. Those guys are not efficient with their service. I think they are the one's in charge of drivers license software for road safety and it took me over a month before they could get good service to do my registration. They have very slow network.

Don’t patronise me abeg.

Go back to ur DPR thread.

Guy chillax, your blood too dey hot. I don't know who appointed you as the police of all sources. Can't you just read and scroll pass like most other people here. You too carry this nnpc matter for head.

PS. The DPR thread has been on since like three years ago and it is only logical he will have history there abi is it a crime to apply for both DPR and NNPC?

You just dey use your vibe dey discourage people with better "gist". Some of us are just here to read and entertain ourselves with what people are saying and are indeferent about whatever sources posted.

Just take a back seat and watch as things flow, it is good for your blood pressure

opylog:
please someone answer me. Who has completed ICPC registration

I had same experience when I registered. I was even expecting email but nothing like that. The application e get as e be. I think they contracted the process to a third party

I agree with you that university staff should be paid for the extra work they do which is peculiar to the universities. But what i understand from the federal government point of view is that they cannot pay workers multiple salaries and those extra duties can be captured with allowances that should be paid by the institution you are providing the service to. To me, this seems logical.

Though I have only been paid once, but this discussion about multiple payment refund for some reason just irritates me to say the least . I smell foul play.

If I were the one paid multiple times, I wouldn't refund the money just because of a SMS that said I should do so. Instead, I will wait for the NNPC themselves come out and explain what went wrong through their officially known channel of communication. I don't give a damn even if it is mukailu abi king or Lazarus that calls me himself. I applied and interviewed with NNPC not some Lazarus abi mukailu of a guy.

And to think that people easily fall for such cheap format is quite disappointing. We shouldn't settle for less.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the suspension of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) ongoing job recruitment pending the determination of a suit filed by one Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olajengbesi, a public interest lawyer, had commenced the enforcement of the Fundamental Rights of all potential applicants to set aside the recruitment by the NNPC on the ground that it was discriminatory.

The recruitment had disqualified Nigerians above the age of 28 from applying for the vacant positions.

Olajengbesi had faulted the age criterion placed on the ongoing recruitment of the NNPC noting that it violated section 3(e)(iv) of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure), 2009 which protected the public interest of Nigerians.

He had written to the then Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr Maikanti Baru, on March 26, threatening to drag the organisation to court for placing discriminatory age requirement on qualified Nigerians who would have applied for the jobs advertised by the corporation.

The NNPC had invited applications from candidates for a number of positions including trainees who must not be more than 28 years as of Dec. 31, 2018, and had graduated from a university or polytechnic not earlier than 2014.

At the hearing on Oct. 18, 2019, the applicant prayed the court to ensure that justice was served on the unemployed Nigerians who needed to know their stand in the matter.

“The matter has long been before the court and the rest of the matter is at a stake and under Order 8 Rule 4 of the Article II of the African Charter of Human and People’s Right (Ratification and Enforcement) Act.


“I pray that the matter is heard together with the preliminary objection filed by the respondents in the interest of justice,” the applicant said.

When the matter was called up, the applicant’s counsel informed the court that the respondent filed his counter on Oct. 15, 2019.

In reply, the respondent informed the court that he was sick and had surgery.

The presiding judge, Justice Muhammed Tsoho (Acting Chief Justice of The Federal High Court) informed the respondent’s counsel that his counter was not properly before the court and had not been regularised.

The court in considering the urgent nature of the matter granted an adjournment for the respondents to regularise their counter.

Tsoho however, ordered that parties must maintain status quo pending the hearing of the substantive suit.

He adjourned the matter until Oct. 29, 2019, for hearing.

panalyst:
APL's have not been released. Also, the list isn't with the Presidency. List is with HR, compiled and good to go just awaiting further instructions.

Meaning all pending issues raised earlier have been resolve. Thanks for the info. If I may ask was their any adjustment made to the list in order to resolve the initial concerns?

Kevlala:
For as many that are bothered, that's the way to go. Not Aggression but demanding status update in a calm and calculated manner.

I guess we as citizens are very docile, that's why we don't get what we want.

Even for private companies, once its upto 2 weeks i interviewed with them, i send mails and follow up calls for feed back and they respond.

we can do more rather than be a sitting duck till whenever they choose to do so. At least a feedback on why the delay becos there could be logical reasons why it is so.

Thanks be to God, i will be resuming a new job in October. Focus on other things that matters

I agree with you on this. I think we should write a petition to NNPC demanding that they give us a reason for the delay in completing the process. And if they have a tangible reason then the least they could do is to notify the successful candidate as soon as possible regardless of the date of resumption.

NNPC cannot just be allowed to do whatever they want just because they think they can.
If their contract staff are putting pressure on them, we should also put pressure on them to do the right thing.
Where are the lawyers in the house?

Jarus:
I have given up on advising people to stop spreading that negative thinking.

That was how my colleague's brother was ranting that DPR was not recruiting on merit, that the interview was just a formality, that he was asked the name of the senator representing his district (as if many others were not asked current affairs) blablabla.

The guy got the job eventually and could not eat his words after blackmailing DPR.

Someone I brought to Lagos - a brilliant guy but not so exposed then - that stayed with me while doing NYSC, that I was the one that shared interview tips with right in my sitting room, got NNPC job in 2012. He didn't know anybody. Although he didn't take it (on my advice too).

These are few examples of people that dont know anybody in NNPC or DPR.

Look, we can't deny that people get into these places by connection, but I have seen enough reason to believe that up to 70% is based on merit. I don't care if people don't agree but I can confidently say it anywhere. I even mentioned it in a book I wrote in 2014.

Good day Mr. Jarus. Is rasheed's phone number that is on your website still valid? I want to get a copy of your book in Abuja.

CircleOfWilis:
So Faruk Achimugu sent me my transport.....Automatically means I hv gotten the job abi..
Pls. can I resign from my current job?

Is it too early to call my family and friends for the celebration?

Please don't resign yet oo. No one knows for sure regarding the relationship between the payment and APL wait till you have it at hand first before celebrating and resigning . As much as I would like you to be optimistic, we also have to be real. The result is a two way thing and you shouldn't loose both ways.
Me for example within the time of the interview and now, I have taken an internship that could lead to employment after 3 months or at least added experience while still looking forwards and praying for favourable outcome from the nnpc interview. PS, I have not been paid; July 1st
