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.

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.

Ferguson0709:
Dear BrockSamson,
I want to raise few issues here and I want you to objectively and critically look at every angles to it.
1. Not all those interviewed will get the job
2. It's not possible for a recruitment of this magnitude to be 100% merit except if we want to deceive ourselves, if I'm wrong Buhari's daughter will not be in NNPC and those who voted for him running after NPower
3. Not everyone objecting your protest has a godfather or is an SH candidate. Some people still want to give DPR the benefit of doubt, hence, their persistence.
4. Majority of hopefuls here depends on Marvel's info cos they believe he's in the know and he said the new list is imminent. Reason why people are asking you to back down on your alleged protest.
5. If you still think you have been cheated and the protest and publications is the best way to seek redress, kindly go ahead with it. I wish you all the best, who knows it might be for our own good in the end.
BUT please make sure you explicitly explain that this action is a decision of you and some others and kindly be bold enough to put your NAMES AND REF NOS there.
Good luck my friend

I am just laughing. Sir Ferguson, the publication is the best option now. It seems you have already checked your name and you are sure that you are successful.

What happens for those who are just waiting hopelessly?

When exactly will they release the appointment letter? Today? Tomorrow? Next month? Next year? Next ten years?

And Marvel65 has disappeared which implies that his job is over.

It is okay! Of course, I don't expect you to believe me.

Put the blame on me. Onyiridike is innocent. I have made the correction.

hammer2010:


The psychological torture is real my people

I'm sure she/he didn't realize when the alternate moniker was used

You can carry out a background check. That was a simple mistake from me. I wanted to explain what she meant and wrote it as if the message was for me.

Onyiridike, I apologize. Whatever insult you receive from people here as a result of my mistake is entirely my fault.

Once again, I apologize.

[quote author=Xmen149 post=65332121][/quote]pls that was a mistake from me.

lawrence83:
I can't remember saying you did. I was only asking after your well being.

Forgive me madam.

She only implied that that the reason for her silence is because she doesn't have much to say.

bidemi1190:
Agreed but Dpr is under the ministry of peteoleum but reports to the office of SGF not directly to the president.

The president is also the minister of petroleum.

Ahmadmohd:
Ofkos some APC's were selected, infact not only dos wit big wings even dos who knows nobody among them were selected,

I wish everybody success

Sapiosexuality:
Baby science. The technology behind the drone is too simple, too crass that trying to project it as something extraordinary smacks of high level retardation. There's nothing significant in constructing a drone. It's baby science. I'm saying this because of some mummified minds who'd consider it a giant stride and the tribalists who think it's an edge. This is baby science.

STOP writing science and practicalize science by constructing a local wheel barrow first.

Bad belle!

Ugosample:
But if that child was raised from day 1 by Caucasian parents and was not told about his African ancestry, or interact much with blacks, that child will be as British as a white kid.

it happens a lot in Italia

Foster parents training the blacks from day 1 not to be black

you get my point

Scientifically speaking, there are potentials inherent in an organism as a result of genes (DNA). These traits can be influenced by the environment. However, the environment itself doesn't confer a trait in an organism automatically.

Natural Evolution takes millions of years.

In genetics, we talk of domestication which people don't really understand. Briefly, it has to do with transforming a wild organism into an almost entirely new organism that can adapt at home. This takes millions of years as the new environment has to gradually interact with the gene thereby modifying it.

It must interest you to know that the organism can never lose its entire genome.

This is why DNA test is still applied to indentify the origin of a man.

Lukaku is from DR Congo and he looks like them. Pogba is there and many other examples.

The DNA is still the repository of genetic information. It determines even intelligence.

Ugosample:
Environment plays more role than genetics.

Simple and short

An Albanian raised in Canada is a Canadian as a Canadian with German parents


But in Africa, due to stupid strong tribal identities, people like you can think the way you do.

Environment shapes people

Stop writing history and talk science.

Can a bird lose totally its ability to fly because it was raised in an environment where there are no trees?

Nobody is doubting the role the environment play in the phenotype of an organism. However even the environment has to alter the gene before it can manifest.

Food is considered an environmental factor but no amount of food can make Buhari grow as fat as Papa Ajasco.

When two African parents gave birth to a child in England, does the child automatically become an English man in all ramification because he was born and raised in English soil?

Alteration of DNA sequence due to environmental factors is what people don't really understand.

Ugosample:
Not true
environment plays more role than genetics
the Caucasians are a proper case study in that respect

Don't teach me what I am an expert on.
You need a serious lecture on epigenetics.

belovedaja:
This publicity is unnecessary from my point of view. Nigeria army is nigeria army and not igbo army. If there was no marginalization, if there has been Fair play and equity. This publicity justify and reveals that there is indeed marginalization of the Igbo's in all sector of Nigeria.

Besides this the best of my knowledge can not be called Igbo. Someone who have spent less than 0.5% of his life in Igbo land and was not born there or schooled there, neither does or has business there can not be Igbo indeed.

Go ahead and kill yourself. He is Igbo, the governor of Borno also called him Igbo and acknowledged his efforts.

In science, what makes an individual is the gene and environment.

An Hausa man who has lived most part of his life in Enugu can never be an Igbo man. The gene must play its role.

And yes, the gene plays the major role in terms of cognitive ability, bravery and intelligence.
