11Anonymous: You can go ahead with buying the transfer form. If your new department doesn't accept you, you will stay in your previous department. You will start the transfer of documents after you've been accepted in your new department. It's risk free. Okay, thanks so much. Gracias. |

Draei: Lose admission? I can't really say but something close to that. What I'll tell you is if you know nobody, like not even a little connection...just forget abt transfer especially if there is a wide gap btw the 2 courses involved. Thanks for d input. He is changing from one Engineering course to another (I believe the gap here is not wide) and he is on a first class...shldn't that be easy?? Don't know transfer is that complex at Uniben. |

Draei: Only through connections. Good day guys, Please my bro wants to process inter departmental transfer by the end of the current session and he was told by someone he could lose admission if it didn't go through saying if the new department doesn't accept him, his admission would be forfeited. How true is this?? And can you share more light on the inter departmental transfer thing... |

tyakson99: Lol ,... Bros, me just dey wonder oh cause if i have bigger offers and am seemingly not interested in the outcome of this recruitment regardless of whether I was interviewed or not, I bet you I would hardly comment let alone make my self the subject matter and I know more than 90% of us would do same. But it is perplexing for some one to say he is sure of not taking up an offer, yet he is always on the thread wanting to know when the outcome would be out and even making himself a subject matter. Any rationale human being would begin to wonder to what end? 
Even in the case of Oga jarus that has let us know he may not take the offer, it is understandable why he still comment time to time and that's partly because of his career coaching job which would definitely make him interested in the outcome. I doubt he would even bother himself to comment if he had no interest whatsoever let alone make himself the subject matter. In short I am pretty sure 99% of us here wouldn't even bother to comment if we aren't going to take up this offer and having something higher as our target. I posted here days ago on this same subject. Why would I expend/be expending so much energy on a job I would 99.9% or 100% reject and even be everywhere on the job thread bothering myself with issues as regards the recruitment. If you know you won't 100% take up a job, then you won't even be here at all, or would check the thread once in a bluemoon just to know what's going on with those that are interested in it, definitely as a low key follower. This doesn't conform to logic. But then, what do I know  This thread lost its sanity after the interview with so many unrelated and unneeded information, baseless theories here and there... The arrival of APL would really help in restoring it. |

mosgoon: okay, because of the previous happenings and advice on the thread, i am not supposed to say this so i'll put it this way, the ''last i checked'' was way back before i consulted several people on the issue, since then NNPC has been off my list. I think, not sure, i even mentioned it in one of my previous comments that they were my last option. So the point is i would most likely 99.9% not be accepting NNPC's offer. That 0.1% is for some exceptional unforeseen circumstances or advice The funniest thing about this thread is many of those guys who have presidential connection, who are on presidential list, vice president list, senate list, NNPC gatekeeper list, NNPC Cook list, those who would most likely 99% reject NNPC's offer due to varying reasons such as multiple offers and its acclaimed low pay when compared to what they currently earn are following this thread and refreshing for update every minutes, bothered about APL-TF relationship, when the list will be out and a whole lot of thing as regards the recruitment. Then I have to wonder why bother this much for a job you will 99% reject?? I am still searching for answers. |

Napolitano2012: Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
At the end of the day, i just hope these self acclaimed intelligent gurus get the APL, because it would be very shameful if they don't.
Faceless forum or not, it's not right to come here and lay yourself bare. No matter what you think u have achieved before now, it doesnt count one bit in this NNPC recruimtent. its a Federal Government Graduate Trainee recruitment and doesn't really care about your FAMED super intelligence, past achievements, or historical innuendo. If the GT slots are only for those with "supernatural" brains, then NNPC wouldnt have made it open to 2.1 and 2.2...... its a national cake and every nigerian graduate from any ethnic group or tribe and state in general has an equal right to it..
The final selection is based on several in-house factors that we and I repeat, WE do not know anything about. MARK MY WORDS, many applicants who are nothing in terms of the above listed traits (first class, Super intelligentz,, many projects achieved,, past acievements etc) will get this job and many who are already feeling like their own is too much will not get even TF not to talk more of APL. (not cursing nobody but fact) .
I see some people have even already been crowned with the APL letters by other ppl here.. nice one. some people here believe in other members in this thread more than they believe in themselves, saying things like "if Oga J**** or Oga M***** or Oga N**** don't get APL, den no hope for me (a pity).
some are just filled with negativity, anxiety and thoughts of failure because of their inferiority complex and lack of hope and they come to this thread to fill others with their fears..(and fear does spread like wildfire)
I have seen some even boasting that they might not accept the offer if they get the APL. (Wow, and yet you went through the stress from the application process down to the final stage, Kudos. And yet you are always on nairaland every day commenting and earnestly waiting for the APL with others.) I just hope those particular ones show us the Proof of their APL before they reject the offer sha.
HEAR THIS... NNPC APL will humble most enigmas here..
Some are just looking for any comment that will favour them and then they take it up and spread it more.. Those that have received TF are busy looking for theories that will say that TF & APL are not correlated.. those that have not received TF are busy hyping the theory that said TF is sent to unsuccessful candidates..
You forget that it is not by your power nor your intelligence alone that u have reached this stage.. anybody who has reached this stage of WAITING FOR APL should be congratulated.. 1st Class or no First Class, Intelligent Guru or not..
Do YOU KNOW that data released after the application portal was closed revealed that OVER 5 million applicants applied for GT alone. u all applied and were among that number.. but only about 60 to 70 thousand applicants were invited for CBT, ( about 10k candidates were reported to be posted to each center). u went for the CBT and were among the around 9 to 10 thousand lucky ones invited for interview... why not continue believing in urself and the grace that brought you this far and stop looking for Infos, theories and comments that would only create more fear in you and increase your anxiety. Pray and believe. AND if u don't believe in any God or god, den believe in your guts...
This superficial ranking and his hyping of people here should stop. During induction a lucky first class applicant would be standing close to a lucky 2.1 applicant who would also be standing close to another lucky 2,2 applicant and you will all start from the same entry level and receive the same amount salary, ur past achievement would not count.. AT ALL.
I leave you with a quote from A.L.Kennedy who once said and I quote--
"Have more humility. Remember you don't know the limits of your own abilities. Successful or not, if you keep pushing beyond yourself, you will enrich your own life--and maybe even please a few strangers."
Peace out and Goodluck to those who do not stop believing. Hmmmmmmmmm Dis guy, u just came and tear everywhere. Well said but people are coming for your head (lol).... |

yungmin: Listing the four categories of hazards is like answering a theoretical exam question. I doubt the panel would ask to just list 4 "hazards" from nowhere. It must have been related to the work environment you are possibly interviewing for. In construction sites, especially for O &G, works are broadly classified into "hot and "cold" works. Most times, works related to steel fabrications are classed as "hot work" and there Are inherent hazards associated with it that are not present in cold works. So, you should have tried to narrow down the question to a particular work activity related to your field. I equally agree, listing to me doesn't mean one would just say physical and stop there, one will take time to elucidate further and link it to what can be seen in the work place. giving real life scenario to further drive home one's point also serves better. |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Apply For 2019 NNPC Graduate Trainee And Experience Hire by simplebb: 4:59pm On Jul 30, 2019 |
Inception: Thanks a lot for your response.
This question was put forward to me by the Chief panelist.
I sensed that it was a situational question, so i identified an incident (Lifting a prefabrication for a major project , in which there was a pad-eye failure:a near miss) which required an investigative team (myself included). The inquiry then investigated the incident by identifying all possible causes that would have lead to that event , in which these possible causes were eliminated one by one (due to the evidence available) until the 'root cause' of the padeye failure was identified: Improper/nonexistent NDT/NDE prior to the lifting operation. I also went further to say that what lead to it not being a fatality or a serious loss was due to the redundancy built into the lifting design (which was recommended by the investigative team in the event this happens again in the future) and the need to ensure that proper NDT was to be perforemed for future lifts ..
Of course this never happened, but men, i simply had to improvise in that split second....I have since been worried about this answer. How do you see it?
Make sense boss... I Just gave a general answer, one should definitely give a real life scenario to drive home one's point. With that, one is more practical than just being the bookish type.
My HSE question, I equally painted real life scenario too.
Well done boss. |

yungmin: Hazards are broad! Even the hazards in construction sites are quite different depending on the activities. So, workplaces are different and the inherent hazards are different as well. That's quite true. These broad examples have been classified into types which was highlighted up there. For example in construction sites, hazards most noticeable are physical hazards (slip, fall from heights etc.)...generally, one have physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychological (this one comes in form of burnout, stress at work, low pay etc) . The type of workplace will determine the most prevalent of this type of hazard. If one is to list four, just go with physical, chemical, ergonomic and biological.... |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Apply For 2019 NNPC Graduate Trainee And Experience Hire by simplebb: 3:48pm On Jul 30, 2019 |
Inception: Nice one.
How would you have answered the use of Root Cause Analysis in the implementation of HSE? A good question. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) refers to the process by which the key underlying cause of an unwanted event (accident, incident) is identified, this is quite different from the immediate cause. RCA have the potential to prevent recurrence of an hazard as it tackles the hazard at its main source. This is indeed the main reason for implementing a Root Cause Analysis to look beyond the surface cause (can be management approach to overall safety in the organization, lack of quality HSE education, no/poor enforcement of HSE policies, workplace conditions not good enough etc.) Thus addressing the recommended actions from the RCA will help to eliminate recurrence of the specific failure and also other failures which had a common root as the one that occurred. In practice, at times it is impossible to identify with 100 percent certainty, a single root cause of an event. In such circumstances, it is prudent to work with the most likely causes and mitigate the risk of recurrence by addressing all of the potential causes of the event. Root cause Analysis would help implementation of HSE as it serves as a proactive, preventive and effective means to address an hazard from occurring again. Simply put, one has an idea of the root cause of an hazard and can put in place corrective plans to forestall such from future occurrences. |

FLOW101: I was asked to list four types of hazards during the interview. I listed fire, slippage, and burns. Now I'm wondering if these were the appropriate answers.
Did anyone get asked the same question? How did you answer? The right answer should be Physical, Chemical, Biological and Ergonomic Hazards. That's the four types of workplace hazards.... You only made mention of examples under this types. It can equally be 5 if one factor Psychological hazard into it.

Now that a fellow clown tried pulling one on you guys, Una wan crucify am.. lol I observe this too, The saying is true, most men think only about themselves. Everyone is formulating theories that favours them. Those yet to get alert keep forming theories to mock and put fears into those that have received, doing it with intent to mock, joke and taunt them while those who have gotten are equally claiming theories that favours them. What surprises me is the way people switch in between those theories.... Lol, like person wey dey spearhead one theory against alertee will change immediately alert is received. Una never see anything, before APL comes out, a lot of baseless and unfounded theories will be dropped here, only the smart and strong minds will be unmoved..... I only pity those who have high BP and put all life's hopes on NNPC following this thread as it can even kill them before APL comes out. For the meantime, people should please desist from spreading info not genuine, common sense that is out of sense and gibberish information.

If it is true, then it should be condemned in strong terms. It is totally uncalled-for. He has been creating alot of distractions on the thread by his activities. What does anyone stand to gain by blowing their trumpet unnecessarily in a faceless group like this? Lol, local man needs to answer your question. A lot to gain sire, popularity, worshipping, respect, focal point of the thread (at least you saw some people measuring themselves with him (low inferiority complex) and some affirming 150% that NNPC will hire him and won't hire him only if they don't know what they are doing... Lol) I am surprised the issue hasn't really die down. If you say people should focus on the purpose of the thread, people would say you are hating, insecure or feel threatened. A guy even mentioned people killing him in real life (just because of job offers,...lol so funny) people get overseas offers and we congratulate them. Even if one has offers in all the top companies in this country, humility is key and blowing things out of proportion is uncalled for. I once mentioned the need for moderation on this thread. I'm proud of his achievements and have learnt from the guy but blowing things up from time to time is really not needed infact even the shell thread has taken the NNPC dimension of this same thing. If we all want to start talking about achievements, this thread will change a lot. I don't think anyone here hasn't succeeded at one point in life. Let's focus on the subject of this thread. @mosgoon please create a new thread and share your detailed experience there, that thread can be dedicated for yourself and yourself alone and others who cares too.

But in this real situation: 9000/36 + fct = 9000/37 = 243. 243* 1/100 = 2.43*37=89.91 or 90 just as you said. @Flowwolf, Please stop all these baseless theory of 1% that can't be concretely proven. You and that access dude have been the reason why people keep analyzing, probing, thinking loud, thinking inside and all sorts of theories.

I have to contribute here Y'all just keep underrating Nigerian Universities. So someone that school in Nigeria won't know of AI and robotics. Seriously, u need to expand your scope and meet folks. Have you heard of Predictive Analytics? The branch of the advanced analytics which is used to make predictions about unknown future events. Predictive analytics uses many techniques from data mining, statistics, modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze current data to make predictions about future. I once worked with a friend on an Oando Project on how we can leverage these tools to improve their business processes HR, PR using AI and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Nigeria folks are doing great oooo, no think am. I have friends overseas working in the software engineering and programming sphere who studied Computer science in the same university.
