In hindsight, was there really a need for the WAEC stage? For me, it felt like its main purpose was to fulfill local content requirement and serve as a gross filter to cut down the number of applicants. My experience with the WAEC screening was less than stellar, and I was in a more organized center (compared to centers like Unilag where I hear it was pure chaos). Sitting conditions in my “more organized” center was atrocious. I shared a desk with another applicant and we could literally look into each others answer sheet. The SHL for me was THE true test prior to AC
It was a different era if I must say...recruitment has come a very long way and at the time , I reckon that was the best approach for large scale basic competence testing at the time.

My first test was at the ICC in Abuja...there was almost a stampede at some point and if not for my sister, I would have just gone back home due to the size of the crowd.

CBI was done for the 2013-17 set I think, but not for the 2023. I doubt they will revert to the former setup (they had a WAEC exam too) though I have no clear info on the current one.
During my time, the first stage was a paper-based WAEC exam. The second stage was another paper-based test, this time an SHL assessment with multiple sections, before candidates moved on to the Assessment Centre.

Machiavelli27:
Not what I asked though , the guys on Bonny , the engineers that get posted there . Do they all live there permanently January to December or do they get like a schedule with which they come to Bonny and work
Not every question needs to be answered literally. Sometimes, you are expected to fill in the gaps and draw a reasonable inference.

It is the same logic as prompt engineering with generative AI: The clearer the context, the sharper the response.

In this case, operators and technicians work shift-based schedules. The ongoing recruitment is for Graduate Trainees who will typically work normal office hours.

Also, until late last year, there was no land route into Bonny Island.

That context matters.

So, for non-shift employees, the inference should not be difficult. grin

I have always wanted to know , NLNG guys do they live permanently on Bonny or is it like a shift thing of 30 days on , 30 days off kind of life ?

Thank you

Omoo why thread come silent like this cheesy
What's the update guys
Probably the downside of herding folks into whatsapp groups...gatekeeping helps no one.

Those that went ahead did a great service by documenting the process in the public domain.

On some other platforms, you can be banned for redirecting users to continue the conversation on a different platform.

Anyway join any whatsapp groups you want to join at your own peril...

Your set was a huge source of succour for 2013. Kuwena was like a legend to us cos that guy kept that thread alive for days. It almost feels like I have a personal relationship with him.
I never got to meet Kuwena in person, but I did run into Opoks during my first week - guy was working just nearby.

Funny enough, a lot of us from that original “Which Way NLNG” thread are still solid till today. Real ones.

I have wanted to ask this but always get carried away, this is I think the 5th time you mentioned this "we sell gas" vagueness, I wonder what your response will be when someone presses you further with questions. People can be really clever when they want to extract information from you.
When people ask what I do for a living, I usually start with, “I work for a gas company.” Then I release information in phases, depending on how inquisitive they are.

It is a simple survival strategy really. You limit information for your own good - security, black tax, and unnecessary overfamiliarity.

At some point I started saying, “I work with models,” because, as an economist, that is technically true.

Unfortunately, one day at a dinner party, an aspiring fashion model heard that and locked into a very enthusiastic conversation with me. Somewhere in the middle of it, I had to clarify that I meant economic models.

The disappointment was immediate.

May 26th should be the day we receive our offer letters if we’re to follow the same number of days between application deadline and receipt of offer letter for the 22/23 set, because that process lasted for 239 days (22nd November 2022 - 19th July 2023).

We’re currently 186 days into this campaign, on the 186th day they were already done with the AC for the Abuja folks and were doing that of Lagos.

Overthinking wan kee son of man…
I really like the way you are approaching the process. Wishing you all the very best.

In my time, there was no previous recruitment process to reference, as my set was the first to document the experience publicly, specifically on Nairaland.

What is your claim?

some people just open mouth waaaaa with nothing to back up their claim
There are times on public forums when the burden is on readers to read between the lines of the original post. Unfortunately, I can only respond based on information already in the public domain, particularly where you may not be aware of certain facts or may have been given inaccurate information. If you read my post again in that context, you may better understand the point being made.

A. Pre-Assessment Verification

Some assessment centers verify candidates through a portal

You might be asked to log in on a device

B. Result/Status Checking

After the assessment center, you will use it to check updates online

How true is this statement?
Because if it's true... it will give majority of us equal fighting chance
And how true is that they have quota like federal character in their recruitment of GTs to balance it across all Nigerian geopolitical zone?

A friend got in last year for the O&M trainee; he did induction online, although they still did physical when he got there august last year before they flew them to Bonny, and then he started training at LBS

For the abroad training, you're actually correct; I once worked in a company that does training for OG guys and have met several of NLNG's senior staff there. That was around 2022, so one of them told me, "Initially, NLNG paid them in dollars during his own time as GT, but things have changed now due to the naira depreciation, but still, their pay is still very good. When you enter, you literally won't even think of resigning. If you would resign, it's either because you went to start your own company or you moved to major IOCs, and when they go abroad, they pay them both their salary and the usual lump sum of allowances abroad.

"He said when he came back, lol, he entered the bank with huge money, and all the staff were like, 'How did this guy make so much money like this?' till they saw his ID. We still chat once in a while, but there's nothing like "PLS HELP ME GET IN." He told me point-blank in 2022 to enter with Connect; it's almost impossible. Things might change a bit this time around, but still, the NLNG process is always FAIR. If there's any company in Nigeria that does recruitment on a fair basis, I'll rank NLNG 1.
There are more than a few dollarised statements here that are false.

Every time I return to this thread, JobsLever somehow manages to lower the bar even further.

Anyone serious about progressing beyond the next stage, if successful, should prepare independently rather than rely on the poor-quality spiegel he keeps peddling.

I am here strictly for the comedy, so please DO NOT direct any questions at me. I will NOT be responding.

I was just as green as anyone else when I showed up late to my assessment centre in 2007. I have shared that story before.

Since then, one lesson has stayed with me: when preparation meets opportunity, results follow...

Yes, NLNG sometimes allows virtual assessment center for candidates abroad, but the standard format is physical assessment centers in Nigeria, and approval depends on the NLNG recruitment team.
Where do you get your info from? You sound like you use generative AI to come up with responses to make yourself look smart or informed.

Caveat: All I will say is that while this account has shared some helpful 'general' information, take anything that sounds company specific with a pinch of salt.

Did you?
1. I came to tell of a story from 2007
2. I spoke of 3 stages [obviously I must have passed at least one to progress to two other stages]
3. I said what worked for me
4. I gave advice

Make of this what you will.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: NLNG Recruitment 2025/2026 by vahonohai(m): 12:23pm On Dec 16, 2025
I don't there is a magic formula that works for everyone. Some people recommend long periods of preparation, while others swear by quick-thinking shortcuts. For me, what matters most is staying calm, relaxed, and clear-headed, so you can answer questions quickly and correctly without guessing or panicking as the clock starts to run down.

On a lighter note, I remember my experience in 2007. I had flown into Abuja from Lagos late the previous night for the first test, where we literally had to fight our way into the ICC because of the sheer number of applicants. I was completely exhausted and actually fell asleep between sections since it was a paper-based test. A fellow test-taker could not believe his eyes and kept berating me for “wasting” a golden opportunity.

I went in with zero preparation and carried the same attitude into the second test and, eventually, the assessment centre in Lagos.

I even arrived late for the assessment centre after first forgetting to make copies of my documents and then getting lost in Lagos Island. I barely made it in time for accreditation grin

One thing I will say is this: follow the rules and do your best. 🙂

Hi guys top of the day to us.

Please for those who got their TRV Approved, how long did your Eligibility Review take?

The wait is choking.... I am March applicants.
My first application was January 2022 with Visa Approved in April 2023. I was issued with a 9 month visa due to my passport nearing expiry.

I reapplied in February this year after visiting Canada last year and I was issued a visa in July 2024 to expire February 2032 which is when the biometrics from my previous visa application expires.

Can I still walk into VFS lekki without an appointment for passport submission

Do I need to fill consent letter if I’m submitting in person?
Booking of appointments is very straightforward...you're beter off doing it and you can be in and out in under 20 minutes.

I only submitted consent letter the first time I did biometrics...if your biometrics are still valid no need for consent letter. Just come with two copies of your passport, your appointment letter, and your passport request letter.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by vahonohai(m): 3:37pm On Aug 05, 2024

Biometrics were previously captured in February 2022 as this is a renewal on a new passport.

Previous application was submitted in January 2022 with visa issued in April 2023 for 9 months grin grin grin

Graveyard silence as expected. Those wey don do AC will never want to give advantage to those who are yet to do. The experience and mental stress has a way of keeping you silent. Best of luck to those who have already done theirs and to those who are yet to do theirs. It's only the cream that will rise to the top from this round.

Meanwhile let me "instigate" small. How far with the "connection or nothing" moniker?
