I thought in your earlier post you promised never to post again until interview invitations are sent to successful candidates?

Congratulations on being shortlisted by your organization for training oversea. This shows that you are good at what you are doing presently.

However, those guys at DPR are too reserved. They don't always tell you the exact truth or fact.

If you are not certain of making it to the next stage, then I would advise that a bird in hand worths 1000 in the bush.

Most importantly, pray for God's guidance.
Thank you ma'am. Lol, yes I did promise but this new development got me a bit anxious and I had to comment again. It's not a training, it's a semi-permanent posting, which means I could stay up to 4 years or more outside the shores of the country. Of course, I dont intend to resign until I get an appointment letter and probably commence documentation with DPR. grin However, I'm concerned about missing the interview due to my unavailability. I would rather I attend the interview and try my best than miss it outrightly. My present employer is great but remains a private coy that can disengage at will. Like you said, I can only join others in prayer hoping the interview will hold next month. Thanks again.

Is your portal open or closed?
If you were observant enough, you may have noticed I intentionally evaded this same question asked by another person earlier. I have never been a proponent of the state of your portal being a determinant to your fate as regards interview invites. Disclosing the state of my portal will give room for speculators to share their opinion and I'm not interested. As regards the state of my portal, I have the info I need, what I need now is for DPR to send invites next month unfailingly. Cheers!

My office just informed us today that some of the staff will be posted to our international operations in the USA, Spain, UK, South Africa or Kenya. My name appeared on the list although I'm yet to know the particular country I may be posted to until Nov. 6th when postings will be effected.

As a result of this new development, I just called the DPR to explain my situation. Once I leave the country, returning without the company's directive (i.e for any personal purpose) will mean I will have to bear the cost of flight ticket all by myself and even risk a cut in salary. The lady who spoke with me at DPR was very polite but said she cannot a particular timeline for the interview. The only thing she said was "if it is not this november, then it has to be January because it can definitely not be december". She understood my dilemma but couldnt say much and just advised me to pray we are invited next month. I should be happy right now but I'm indifferent.

This thread is now doing more harm than good. If we continue like this, the thread may lose its relevance and people may be forced to source for info.from other groups or forum.

Why is it so hard to keep ur opinions, speculations, permutations, inferences and conclusions to yourselves? Them no use hot water press una mouth wen una small? For heaven's sake, we have been saying; let DPR be the jury. Till then, keep your opinions to yourselves.

I called a top director who works at the HQ on Saturday. I was embarrased after the conversation. I said we are hearing speculations, he said from where? I answered "an online forum". He asked who created the forum? Is there any DPR HR personnel there? Is the forum or whatsapp group the mouth piece of DPR? He concluded by saying, relax, those are mere speculations!

I wonder why anyone would even let the opinion of speculators make them uneasy. Make una go rest abeg. This is my last post till interview invites start flooding in. Then we will discuss again. Best of luck!

Value is relative.

A diamond is just a hunk of rock and there isn't really much you can do with it. But it's quite valuable.

Money itself has no value, just purchasing power, but to most people it's quite valuable.

Stocks are invisible but quite valuable.

Bitcoins don't even exist, but right now they cost an arm and a leg and people store value in them.

To you a phone is just a phone.

To someone else it's an elegant work of art, an amazing piece of technology, a valuable companion....

...and a phone too.
the manner in which you articulated your points, you must be really intelligent. I read this post over and over again.

At this point, I think sharing information about the next stage will be more beneficial.

Anyone with useful information or links to useful material/guide for the next stage is encouraged to help here, please.
Its of the truth that arguing about open or closed portal wouldn't change anything as it is normal, by experience, to deduce that it is likely those that got the notification for the update that would eventually move to the next stage; going by inference and experience with similar previous instances.

As for those that got this update mails and messages, remember, "the race is not of him that runeth, neither of him that willeth but of the Lord that showeth mercy..." And that you didn't get this notification, does not imply that you are not good nor that God has forsaken you...He has even better plans for you. Also, remember that patience is painful, that is why it is a virtue and He is faithful and careful not to take it nor those that demonstrate it for granted.

Contribute your efforts to support and see through, those into this race at this time; for you will someday come to this river and I see a very present help awaiting to take you across, for a testimony.

Thank u all!
grin grin Where do you guys crawl out from sef? You are already assuming and wishing other's wont scale through.....and you want them to help you by sharing study materials with you. You dey even quote Scriptures to support your warped mindset grin grin Abeg, laff wan kill me. If the other group (that didnt receive sms) are thinking like you, then you also dont stand a chance to them. Hence, no need to share materials with you. Ogbeni, wait till invites start flooding in. You may eventually not need the material you seek. It may be those that you think wont make it that will even be needing the material or study guide.

@the bolded: Na you disqualify the others? into this race......grin Till we hear from DPR, every applicant who wrote the aptitude test are still very much in "this race". Mark my words and quote me soon again.

The people viewing this thread every minute, apart from the guests, are far more higher than those who have commented here for the past 2 weeks cumulatively. They seem smarter than some of us here. They would hardly comment but get the right information that will favour them without letting their own secret out here, and then they would vanish into thin air. During the time some people were busy sending their DPR(Snapnet) "Aptitude Test Questions" that they wrote on Nairaland in the name of "Love your neighbour as yourself", in a faceless forum that nobody knows you, these silent guests/visitors got what they wanted, studied and prepared very well(without sending to you what they knew) and scored higher than you the good samaritan and might probably get to the next stage leaving you behind on nairaland to be abusing yourselves on hourly basis. The people that will bear the greatest pain if they didn't get to the next stage, are those that disobeyed the Commandment: They loved their neighbours MORE THAN themselves INSTEAD of loving their neighbours AS themselves.
Honest and apt! Well done

Please, what can do? I have been looking for my WAEC certificate I couldn't find it. But I have my soft copy. What do I need to do now??
Please search harder for it. They dont issue replacement waec certificates except you know top staff at waec and you're highly connected. In the interim, get a police report and court affidavit. Proceed to waec to get a confirmation of result from them (more like a letter showing u truly wrote the waec exam and the grades u got). However, keep searching while trying to flashback on your recent movements. If you are certain it got missing on transit, visit radio stations and use social media to solicit for its return if found by anyone. It's a good thing you have the soft copy. Keep that safe.
I lost my nysc certificate in a public transport and never got it back despite visiting radio stations and using social media to solicit for its return if found. I wonder what any1 would use it for though. Good luck.

Nigerians would just make asumptions based on what they feel.
If a site is hacked the first thing the hackers would do is to de-face the site , to show off that they are behinde the hack . Trust me those that recieve the sms and email are still the ones in the game. Those with objected moved problem are those using operamini to access the site, when the instruction says specifically to use a chorme or mozilla. Some people are already failing interview before it even starts. Are these the bunch of idiots DPR want to employ. NIGERIA IS A FAILED NATION. If this is the kind of mentality youths have. SMH for this country
you accused others of making assumptions based on what they feel, then you went ahead to do the same. Yet you feel you can use your runny mouth to insult anyone and everyone. I wanted to display decorum but you dont deserve it. In as much as you're guilty of the same offence for which you labeled others idiots, may I also announce to you that you're a worse idiot than those you called out.

Your promiscuous father probably contracted some STDs from the numerous whores he fvcks around, which caused some palaver in his scrotum and made the sperm cells in it run into delirium. Unfortunately for Planet Earth, that was the same period he decided to smash your syphilis induced imbecilic mother. And you were conceived. Cursed be that day.
nice poem. Now go and recite it your whorish mother and wretched father. A product like u is what we get when a lunatic mates with another lunatic.

Hello sir,

I'd love to edit the LGA on my portal but the drop down doesn't throw up any options.
Is it the same with yours?

Secondly,
The LGA; is it the LGA of your residential area or that of the state of origin?

Please anyone with helpful info on this can help out. I already sent them a mail as well, hoping they'd reply.
just as EngrVin has rightly said, it's the LGA of your State of Origin. As for the dropdown issue, I'll advise you use a PC (not mobile device) and a good browser like chrome or up-to-date firefox. If this issue persists, place a call to the DPR helpdesk. That way, your issue may be promptly addressed compared to when sending a mail which may not be attended to.

But wait o, why would you even want to change your LGA? Is it that you made an error earlier or you're trying to play smart? No offence please

Looking at those who were sent mails by DPR. You'll deduct that some:
1. uploaded more than required(i.e GT=3, EH=5, this is the actual number of documents required).
2. uploaded not accordingly as stated but instead in reverse(normal arrangement= NYSC Cert, A-Level Result Cert, SSCE for GT).
3. uploaded irrelevant documents like ND Cert, Transcript, Testmonial, etc.
4. double uploaded their documents(i.e Nysc cert, SSCE, each being two on their profile).
5. having personal(i.e name, age, gender, etc) mismatch, which doesn't correspond to 1 or more of their documents.
Hence, they were asked to update/edit. However, the recent NLNG recruitment, some persons were asked for updates. I wasn't, yet I was invited for the test.
Pls, debunk rumuors that you are out till DPR start sending invite mails. Quote me, DPR would NEVER close your application without sending you a regret mail. They are organised people, wait till the mails start coming before you conclude your fate. All we need now is "Patience."
simple. God bless you!

Recall that while some were outrightly rejected before the aptitude test, the application status of many others remained inconclusive (by not being invited nor rejected) but later received rejection notices.

Thus, in a similar fashion, it can be deduced that those with inaccessible profiles may have been dropped while those who can login but received no sms/email may still be contacted, although this is highly unlikely.

The deduction above is not meant to make people feel bad but please and please whatever happens, accept that it was meant to be.
Even with this epistle, you have not said anything important that has not been said before. Do you guys just derive orgasm from sharing speculations? Please keep your opinions to yourselves and let's wait till DPR calls for interview instead of repeating what has been speculated before. Y'all should better get busy. Awon DPR HR wannabes.

You guys have filled up almost 10 pages with speculations over this portal issue. Una no dey tire? Repeating same thing over and over as though you are messengers of pessimism and bad news. If you are not part of the DPR IT or HR team but just an applicant like everyone else here, kindly shut up, be humble and take a chill pill till next week or when everyone will know their fate.

CareerRe: How To Avoid Wardrobe Malfunctions During Online Interviews by Palaver:
Not in Nigeria, where skimpy/tight skirts and cleavage revealing shirts increases the chance of getting the job (for female applicants).

That is why 12 men and a lady will attend an interview but the lady will get the job. grin grin

I remember an interview I attended sometime last 2 year. We spent less than 5 minutes each with the interview panel. There was a particular lady who dressed to show her sensitive parts. Guess what? She spent over 20 minutes with the panel. We exchanged numbers after the interview and when I called her, she told me the head of admin was always calling her to invite her for a date but she wouldnt honour the invite cos she wasnt interested. Well, few weeks later, she got the job. I'm not saying anything happened oooo.....I'm just admiting that she was the most qualified amongst us. grin
