now you know

sahihameen2018:
Then let the APC government do the needful. If Mr. President who is also the minister of petroleum resources allowed this daylight robbery of a common man who queue up, voted and protected and make sure his vote counted for Buhari, then why under his watch will he allow this nepotism, corruption and gross subvertion of merits for stake holders and I question the integrity of both Mr. President and Mr. Shakur.

Please fellow colleagues, now is the time to act.

God bless you.

We have begun the race against time. I’m not sure if some people read what they type, because it puts a big question mark on where their loyalty lies. How can we be talking about consequences, before now has the common man benefited in any way.

Some said this publication would be ignored, I laugh. If I don’t know anything about Mr President, I know he can be quite pragmatic. Nothing he hates more than someone causing him more problem than necessary. Especially in this “harmattan” political atmosphere he is experiencing no telling the number of “his trees” this spark would burn down.

I’m just wondering why we allowed ourselves to be handicapped to not doing anything till now. Allowing ourselves to be insulted by DPR’s audacity to issue numerous APLs to stakeholders while leaving us in limbo.

Only God knows the number of slots that are presently available for the common man after stakeholders have taken the lion share. Imagine a handful of people holding tens of thousands of us ransom because we have no political connections nor an influential sponsor.

We are tired and we are not asking for too much; end this recruitment now.

As I said in one of my posts, though late, we will still commit our resolve to go public to faith and trust God that it will end in our favour. You can imagine the time from June till now and the level of substitutions and replacements that must have defaced the supposed merit list and the notion is that someone is protecting merit candidates by giving more time for what exactly?

As it is now, what they have planned to do they will still do, whether we wait or not. Point is let's be United in whatever step we want to take and let it be known by everyone who cares to partake that it is a collective effort not the protest by our colleagues who took the selfish route in the end.

Regards.

A handful got it on Merit though. If you're in Shakur's position, you'll do same. I initially criticized the process but when I stepped in his shoes, I realised that he was actually handicapped. In our Nigeria of today, these big shots are too powerful to ignore. When we have systems that work, things like this would be minimised but not eliminated because it also happens in developed countries. For now, I don't think there is anything this protest would yield because they followed all the government approved phases for recruitment. In the past 5 years , DPR is the first government agency to invite me for a test and interview . Even though I didn't get the offer, I still respect them. It means they wanted to do something good but powers beyond their control limited them.In other government organisations, you won't even be invited in the first instance. Let's be happy for those who got. At least they have something and when any other opportunity manifests, we have less people jostling for the positions. I advice we channel our energy into developing ourselves to be more attractive in the labour market and we would find ourselves in even better organisations than DPR with the help of God.

I gathered all dis from a top management staff of DPR nd before u attack,I am not a hopeful.Abeg anybody b Mustapha D Aliyu here?

All these months you have been following us bumper to bumper now all of a sudden you are no longer one of the hopefuls. Well congrats to you.

If there is a second batch, please tell Oga Shakur to release it and let us go our merry way.

Good morning fellow hopefuls, I noticed that the spirit is very high now. Pls whatever we want to do should be agreed upon here collectively and it should be reasonable.

Plz and pls, let us be a little more patient may be till month end. Marvel had said several times that October is the month and today is 20th of the month. We still 10 days. If we had waited for 2 years, waiting for additional 10 days should not be difficult.

Remember, we have different categories of people on this site. Some people can advice anything because they have nothing to loss. Some did not do interview and portal closed since.

Our portals are still on and most us are on supposed merit list. We can wait a little more before we re-act.

It is possible that nothing happened last week ended yesterday because of petroleum industry seminar that occurred during the week. If that is the case this week, something can happen.

I am very sure that something will happen before month end because our spirit high like never before. I believe this page is being followed or monitored by DPR too. So plz and pls, let reserve our energy till month end.

.

peepydelano:
Oga av bin with u guys here nd Neva fail to drop every information I gathered,d pressure on DAT man sef is too much,still he's bent on given chances for merit, be patient nd prayerful, everything ends soon.all d best

We have pray so hard, we think we have finally heard the voice of God...

Good mornining everyone,

I will support this idea. From d look of things the release of second list is imminent. Marvel said "All d best to us on monday morning" and since then he hasnt said a thing. Also from d info some other hopefuls got that d first batch guys are yet to undergo training and start anything serious which i think dpr delayed it for d release of d second list. In d meantime u guys can just put up ur writing in good shape and other necessaries for d said publication
If by 31st October, d second list is not released, then we can go ahead with publication.

Make i say my own.
I don't think going to the newspapers or AIT or any one of them is good idea. It's no news that NPA, NCC, BoI, NEXIM Bank,FIRS and many juicy Government Parastatals have recruited new staffs in the past 2years. There was no protest because there was nothing like merit candidates. In fact, most of them didn't even advertised. If we do this now, it will make DPR join them. Whether you believe it or not there ware many that got the DPR without knowing anybody, but there was nobody that got the call from NPA, NCC, BoI, NEXIM Bank,FIRS and many juicy Government Parastatals without knowing somebody. At least DPR tried. Going public now can make DPR a no area ever again to the commoners like us.
A realiable source told me that there will be a second batch, but he didn't say when exactly. He said may be till they signed the PIGB later this year. He also said after they signed the PIGB, DPR+PPPRA+Others will merge to become The Petroleum Regulatory Commission and they must recruit more staffs. Going Public can make them drop the idea of merit candidates since it's the merit candidates that are always protesting about margilazation.
My Advice we wait for our best reliable source here Marve65.
Let's not damage all the wait. We waited 2 years why can't we wait extra 2 weeks.

See them.. If any of them was called none would be here shouting. Selfish fellows, as if they're the only ones waiting. These ones clamoring are more corrupt in their respective fields than the so called politicians. Go do the publication naa.. But I'm certain some of your names are on the new list. We'll all be here when they cancel the whole thing.

you are restricting the whole issues to only DPR, which to me is a myopic view of the entire deliberation at stake here.
We want to change the entire narrative in this country for good, where every mertitted candidates irrespective of his or her background begin to enjoy a fair adequate and equal opportunity to thrive, and this can be done collectively, Not only in the case of DPR, but all sectors in Nigeria, and this can be done if we come together as a people with positive mind set,having the courage and making our grievances heard legitimately to the right quarters. That why tagging Mr. President and all the media houses are very crucial.

Its voting time. Let the numbers decide: Those in support to wait till 31st October before we go all out on any publication say: Aaaaiiii. ..

Those against say: NAY. ..

Hi

donafure:
You can vote if you are the one paying, but for me, I am paying for all publications I have listed, and I can do everything by myself. No one can tie me with a vote

Plz for the benefit of doubt, let us wait a bit till month end. Don't let us do anything funny at the moment. We have waited for too long and I believe that we are close to the promised land. The whole exercise may be canceled and nothing will happen if we are not patient. After all the portal is still open, an indication of hope that the exercise is not over. Plssssss

It's not a DPR affair which I clearly explained that even DPR as an organisation has been magnanimous to us compared to other sister organisations. Please get my point, I am not in anyway supporting what has been done but I implied that until we have institutions that are more powerful than individuals, this wrought will never be corrected. We don't have a system that works and empirical evidence shows this. Take for example, an agency wants her budget to be passed and the agency has to lobby individuals in the senate for that to come to fruition. In that case , compromise must be made. Individual interests come to play and when they ask for favours , you can't turn them down . Same goes with passing bills, awarding contracts and so on. It's a situation of grease my palm and I grease yours. That is the situation we have found ourselves on this country. Until we get the right people in places of authority that are ready to make laws that would empower our institutions and make them stronger than individuals, this practice would continue . A protest is scratching the top of the problem. The onions is on you and I to ensure that people who will be selfless to build our nation would lead us and do the right thing. Until then, this practice would continue in all government agencies and with time , government organisations would decay because they do not have the best hands any more. Only God can help this country !

When they cancel the whole thing, our eye go clear. Who publication epp?

It's people that use their hands to cause problems for themselves. Just remains small like this and they want to spoil everything.

I will continue to wait and if they no call me, so be it. Am not the only one that wrote exam or did interview from my state.

Besides portal never close. So, i don't understand.

People that want to publish, who told you, you even passed your interview?

U people should just relax abeg.

I must say that some comments here are shockingly disappointing and embarrassing. I don't know where some people get off deriding others because their opinions differ. I mean why the insults? The fact that some people don't want others to go public, does not warrant name calling.
The question you should ask yourself is this; is there any justification going to the media? Yes, there is. I don't know about most of you here, but I for one feel aggrieved, and rightly so.

How can someone from my LG, who has never worked in his entire life, get an appointment letter to work as an experience hire, while others are sidelined. He was busy managing his brother's money, when his brother was a senator. Then from nowhere he gets into DPR, having been unqualified by virtue of a lack of work experience. This person in question is not a fantastic student, because they graduated from the University with a 3rd class in their first degree. I am not saying this to shame them, I'm only trying to make a point that they are not the brightest of persons. Following my performance, I was confident that even if just 3 people were selected from my state, I'd make the list.

The final nail on the coffin was the leaked list that was published. If that list was not legit, DPR wouldn't have settled those people quietly with what they termed "carrot and stick".

My point is this, stop deriding people and calling them names for wanting to go public. There is justification for wanting to do that. Let it be known that this is how DPR recruitment went down, even if it won't bring about any change in the Nigerian system. Maybe our children's children will come and change things. But let it be known that this is how it is in the country.

And I don't understand @Xtruzz. One minute they're giving off vibes like they're a DPR staff, the next minute they're a hopeful. Yes, everyone wants to maintain anonymity, but drop the tricks.

Good luck and God bless you all.

Please note that those of you clamoring to send those publications “PREMATURELY” does more harm than good.

Let’s all wait till end of October as widely speculated before taking any actions

We don’t know how many people have been picked on merit so far and If the so called merit list is released and your names happened not to be on the list, would you still be on this

Unfortunately not everyone can get into DPR..don’t spoil the little chance of those that have gotten in or merit or would get in on merit subsequently.

Most members here are quiet so I would advise that who eventually get in on merit please be sure to update us so we don’t fight shadows with this publication.

Attention: Mr Marvel.
Good day please calm this house by saying something please. Thank you.

The only one's that can tell who actually got it or will get it on merit are those that have access to the exams and interview scores.. but everybody is shouting merit merit! Merit!! Merit!!! If u think you are good u have no idea how Damnn good the person sitting next to u is. So as they say pray that u are selected in the next batch or something better than DPR comes ur way... me I don't have the strength to shoouuut. For I know and believe whatever is destined to be mine can NEVER miss my way.
And for the system.. pray it gets better because you don't know what u are capable of if u were in those shoes.

From June when the letters started dropping till date, what is the difference of these many days that have passed and tomorrow or next tomorrow? Those days had 5 moons or 6 suns?

So the waiting that have not generated any positive outcome, that we have been uncertain about it and looking for info up and down, suddenly we want to subtly try using a letter that is when some people have seen a vision and are certain that it will jeopardize chances? But we have been looking for info up and down and stressing Marvel.

The only advice is for us to have one voice, not individuals wanting to go public individually. Any day that we collectively agree and letter is ready it can go ahead. That's my opinion. What will now be the difference between Monday and Friday or 31st October? Waiting that we have waited, passed even the recent wait till 1st/2nd week october nothing happened. Haba! But to try what the last Hopefuls did we are seeing vision that DPR will cancel the recruitment and it will jeopardize chances, insulting up and down. Calm down guys.

May God see us through in whatever way it decides to be. Amen.
