Oga if you are poor dose not mean others are not making it..

This year alone have been my most successful year so far..looking forward to next year,so also many young persons out there.so sit in your house and be shouting poverty poverty you hear...

Go and educate yourself in Nigerian economy and get back to me.
Nigeria is currently the headquarter of poor people in the world.
That you and your friends have managed to make small money is not an indication that Nigerian economy is good neither is it a measure of wealth and abundance.

Uglymind:
That doesn't change the fact that Pdp is the party that destroyed Nigeria.. It doesn't also change the fact that Jonathan looted billions of dollars from the country..

Nigeria is in tumult because of PDP...... the mess which was leftover is now intricate and difficult for APC to remove

Everyone is blaming Buhari but it's Jonathan who caused all this...

90% of the politicians in APC were once in PDP.
STOP deceiving yourself.

SuperS1Panther:
You are right, just that you missed a line out.

If the election was conducted in the land of hatred, PDP can.win even 100%. Unfortunately the whole of their 100% as we saw in 2015 is just a mere 5%

Are you sure you are educated or you just join illiterates in shouting 5% without giving room for proper analysis of the election results. The difference between PDP and APC is not up to 3m votes and only the votes for PDP in Enugu cancelled the vote difference in the entire south west.
Buhari is a president today because the North voted massively for him due to their beliefs that GEJ is a Christian from the south and that Buhari is a messiah that will solve all their problems.

Even at that under age voting, intimidation of Christian voters and manipulation of results in favour of Buhari was the order of the day.

I can assure you that no ethnic group in Nigeria can single-handedly make anybody a president not even the North.

If you must know, Christians make up more than 40% of Northern population and if election is conducted free and fair along religious line, no religion is guaranteed victory.

Why didn't the MOD publish this instead and why a misleading title?

He clearly emphasized that Nigeria should not be handed to non-democrat also and nobody is talking about that.

And if you believe that he was referring to Atiku then you can believe anything.

greatiyk4u:
Better to be poor in originality than be rich in imitation (corruption)

There is nothing like being rich in imitation.

So in your tiny brain, lack of money in the economy is an indication that Buhari is fighting corruption?

That industries are crippled due to insufficient funds and profit is an evidence of a corrupt-free Nigeria?

That government parastatals cannot pay full salary and or recruit more capable staff is a proof of Buhari's integrity?

I advise you to see things beyond prejudice and your level of awareness otherwise you will end up exposing your ignorance.

Your almighty corruption fighter Buhari whom your type believe he would jail every corrupt politician should have dealt with them accordingly.

His so-called integrity is fake.

Susu888:
Nd so wht? Wasn’t it corruption money running around?

Where is integrity money?
Is poverty an achievement?

profbayo:
it shows that ur sense of History is very poor... Atiku was indicted for the PTDF scam, get ur facts rite

Indicted by who? Why is he walking a free man today and you have the almighty corruption fighter Buhari who has come to jail every corrupt politician or person in Nigeria.

I thought by now an average Nigerian would be scared to steal #20 on the street.

Igbokid:
Atiku don give this one t-fare wey e no fit forget

Hatred for igbos was carefully and deliberately embedded in your gene from birth. It is not your fault. However, the only thing you will ever benefit from your venomous hatred and bitterness towards the Igbos is hypertension, because an average Igbo man has been divinely positioned to excel in life with or without political power.

Charly68:
First class ignorant ...I give my tithe to the needy ,they need it more than the church...so it is the need that preaches the gospel in villages ,organizes crusades & send missionaries to spread the gospel ?

STOP this propaganda. The church still ask the congregation to make special contribution and donations for these activities you enumerated.
Some pastors are also placed on salaries and the money for that purpose still does not come from tithe.

AkpaMgbor:
How come you don't find anything wrong in people giving offerings, donations and seed sowing to the church buy you are against tithe? Does that even make sense? No be the same priests and pastors all of them dey go to? Don't you know that a lot of people give more than ten percent of their wage as donations?? You are against someone giving ten percent as tithe but you're OK with that person giving even more as donations? Where is the logic there??

You are the illogical person here. You claimed that tithe money is crucial because it is meant for church developedment, maintenance of church infrastructure and payment of church workers' salary
I then asked you a simple question and you started talking from both sides of your mouth and went further to accuse me of preaching against tithe.
My worry is that the zeal with which the Pentecostal church defends tithe if this same zeal is channeled towards evangelization and preaching repentance; the kingdom of God will be seriously advanced on earth.
I am yet to understand why we frown at other laws in the old testament but singled out tithing for preservation and practice.
Why are we making mockery of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross?

AkpaMgbor:
They will want to come into a church gathering with good and comfortable seats, fans and air-conditioning units and well set out sound system for praise and worship..but they expect all this to be paid and provided by who?

What happens to the monies gotten from offering, donations, harvest, bazar and seed sowing?

elbangeez:
do you beleive someone will just sit down and start drafting a list from aptitude test score? i believe not. i dont know wether the list is entirely correct or not, but i know there was a list that was sent to fcc that was later changed at the dying moment. because my name was confirmed to be on that list that was changed, and i saw my ref number on the leaked list, so i believe that list is authentic but not complete and neverdown probably got the list throuhh FCC.

I have written to the best of my knowledge. I don't know it all. I wish everybody the best.

elbangeez:
please can you shade more light on the list?

The guy had access to the aptitude test score and made the list based on that. Also, it is not complete. That is why some successful candidates saw their Ref. no while others did not see theirs.

Ferguson0709:
Thank you. If Neverdown hadn't release the leaked list, how will a lot of them know they were successful ??

That list is not authentic.

WisdomFlakes:
You speak out of ignorance.The Op is a well informed igbo man (and elderly one at that), from Enugu state to be precise. Behave.

STOP this your lie in a faceless forum. Even devil is envying you.

Naijiant:

You are simply suffering from chronic igbophobia.

It is not your fault anyway, hatred for igbos was carefully and deliberately embedded in your gene from birth.

michoim:
Atiku, was Buhari in power 2001? How could he have possibly be planning to islamize Nigeria. Atiku/PDP this your false propaganda cannot sell...

Go back and read the article.

abbey621:
Are you saying all managerial jobs require more than a decade of experience? I must be very lucky then...lol

Also, try and find out why
1. All vice chacellors in Nigeria are seasoned professors.

2. You cannot lecture B.Sc students if you don't have at least an M. Sc

abbey621:
Ideal condition? Define ideal? What we have is reality and experience, save fantasy for your fellow daydreamers! The last time I checked there is no one principle of management, we have many management principles so what are you talking about? I think you've chosen the wrong person to discuss principles of management with....lol

Why do you think a hiring manager would demand that a candidate must have certain educational qualification with 15 years experience to stand the chance of being hired as a manager?

abbey621:
Nigeria is a shitty nation because of corrupt, greedy leaders. You can continue touting education as the number one priority but we've had a Ph.D holder fail just as much as an illiterate. If you can't defend this then keep shut!

What is your definition of failure and explain exactly how Goodluck failed.

abbey621:
Point A: A manager in a corporate setting is expected to have general knowledge of specific area/areas that he or she is managing not advanced knowledge. In fact all my years as a technical professionals and an I. T auditor, I never worked with a manager who knew close to half the things I knew. When I became a manager I started knowing less and less about the micro tasks each of my auditors were engaged in and I focused more on the macro engagements. I think you are confusing managerial skills with technical skills, a manager can get his or team to work more efficiently by deploying effective team building tactics focused on key metrics, such a manager need not be an expert but must know who or what to rely upon when answers are needed. When you've managed 15 to 20 staff members and also hold two Masters degrees, maybe I've received some lectures on advanced management...lol

Point B: The Nigerian Constitution only requires a WAEC certificate for any presidential aspirant. In the U.S., no formal education is required, surely your expectations are based on your own thinking and not what is written in the Constitution! Furthermore, formal education is no guaranty for success, as witnessed by our Ph.D holding ex-president, perhaps you meant non-formal education/experience? Are you saying someone who led during the military era and also led during the Democratic era such as Obasanjo would be classified as a less educated leader to someone like GEJ who holds a Ph.D? Sometimes formal education is highly overrated!

You still do not get it. What you do in your office and what is written in Nigerian constitution are not dogmas.

I am talking of an established principle under ideal condition. It does not matter what is obtainable in your office or Nigeria.

abbey621:
I think you've jumped the gun a bit, your response is directly against everything I've learned from graduate studies in regards to leadership/management, the president is important no doubt but emphasis should be more on the people actually carrying out his directives, this is the core of effective leadership, at least this is what my years of experience and educational qualificatins taught me. The president's fate is determined by the people he appoints, is this not correct? As a manager in a Fortune 50 company, I can tell you that my job would be on the line if the people I manage are incompetent at their jobs. Yes I could fire them and replace them but ultimately their efficiency/inefficiency determines my fate. At least in advanced societies this is true, in 9ja we are fond of blaming everything on the president hence we might not place heavy priorities on the cabinet memebers but the premise still holds!

You need serious lectures on advanced management. A manager should atleast possess two times (double) of the skills and knowledge of the people he is managing.

It is not enough to give order and directives, you ought to supervise the work and ensure that the people you are leading are doing the right thing.

In big multinationals, a director or general manager must have the general knowledge of the activities and operations of all departments. With this you can easily coordinate them in order to achieve organizational goals and objectives.

Quality control principles requires that a manage detects impending problem and act swiftly to bring it under control.

THE BEST WAY TO LEAD IS TO SET AN EXAMPLE.

How do you set an example if you do not have the knowledge?

In political leadership, a president is expected to be highly educated with robust personnel management skills. He must also understand governance.

Education is not just going to the school to acquire certificates. Education broadens someones thinking ability. It improves your cognitive evaluation and behaviour. It equips you with 21st century skills and promotes excellent comminication, organizational and interpersonal skills. Your approach to task and conflict resolution is enhanced by education. In fact education makes you a problem solver.

You are not expected to be an all-rounder but you ought to know what exactly is expected from the people you manage. You cannot do this if you are an illiterate.

BrockSamson:
We don’t have the resources for a protest that would get Mr President’s attention. We can’t deal those cards.

Luckily for us, Mr President is seriously cooking his re-election agenda and would angrily swat any fly that goes near that pot of stew.

When we have had enough, the publication is our best bet to expose the rot in his administration.

I sent you a mail (PM).

peepydelano:
From what I av read so far,I beliv SME ppl r new here.People testified here on merit base during d first batch,ask around nd many out there who got theirs DAT knew nothing abt nairaland. Appoint sm1 to give u guys info na since d volunteers av bin made to liv.All d best

You are joking! I seriously doubt if anybody got the job on merit.

You don't expect them to come here and tell you the truth.

The prince is trying hiis best to keep his job as a commissioner. However, he does not have the power to influence the electorate.

I have friends from Adawa. The state consist of a good number of christians and series of herdsmen attack on them is enough reason to send Buhari back to Daura.

divinecode101:
Chukwumujeje or whatever your name is, I am from Kano, I live in Lagos. It is you and your fellow chest-beaters that will be shocked!!

Name 5 towns in Kano and translate what you wrote in hausa language.

buhariguy:
you don't know what is actually happening in this country.
The stolen funds recovered is from where,
From the corrupt people you love so much, and that stolen funds met for infrastructure did cause recession,
And the corrupt people are still dragging the case in court till tomorrow,
Efcc was able to recovered 1tr naira,
And 500b naira was added to 2017 budget and 500b naira in 2018 budget.,
Moreover, you can see how the budget has increased from 4.2tr naira to 7.2tr naira in 2016, and increase to 8.2tr naira in 2017 and increase to 9.2tr naira in 2019.
How can you explain this?
You can see this government has really tried.

And how much have you borrowed?

wixzer:
I hope it is not only on nairaland that DPR recruitment ain't over

I was also informed that it is over.

[quote author=Marvel65 post=70818113][/quote]Please Marvel65, your update is highy needed.
Thank you!

Ferguson0709:
Well let me burst your bubbles, I haven't checked my name anywhere and I'm not interested in checking. I'm an EH hopeful. It's so important for you to know that I'm presently on a fed job too and it pays very much but not as much as dpr. For me, dpr is not a do or die affair, God has really helped me in life. I will rather move on. I have always believed that whatever belongs to me will never elude me. If it's meant for me, no manipulation can hinder it.
I'm not against any protests or publications, all I call for is patience and let's give them the benefit of doubt. Who am I to even stop your proposed protest? It's your money, it's your decision. But take this from me, it's not possible for DPR to employ all of us. There will always be some aggrieved lots. I promise to donate 50k for your publications only if you can put your names and reference numbers

I thank God Almighty for you. You can read my suggestions right?

BrockSamson:
For all who care to know, Final draft of the Open Letter is ready. Costing is next and it’ll be posted here for all who care enough to contribute.

When all is ready the Letter itself would be posted here.

A big “Thank you” to all who have supported the struggle.

I support you but please read my suggestions.

My advice for the planned publication:

1. Let it be a plea and nothing but a plea. We have to beg DPR Management and The petroleum ministers (Buhari and Ibe Kachukwu) to help us and bring the recruitment to a successful end.

2. We should not say anything to implicate Mr. Ahmad Rufai Shakur and Mordecai Ladan. It is wrong to spit on the plates that you eat from.

3. In our own interest, we must not accuse DPR of nepotism.

4. We MUST use corrier service and deliver the letter to the two major players instead of going public.

In summary, the essence of the publication is that we have waited for too long (2 years). It is almost 4 months since the first batch were contacted and we beg them to release the remaining appointment letters.

Most importantly, we MUST deliver this letter privately to the two major players, Alhaji Rufai Shakur and Mordecai Ladan via corrier service instead of going public.
