crespo67: Bros Wallex, How are you doing. I have been reading through your post on this thread and I have been greatly impressed. I am currently undergoing NAPTIN training and am in Benin transmission Station. I have some questions for you since I learnt you did your field posting at Akangba. I have sent you a PM, and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Bro.

Goodday Broda. ⌣»̶·̵̭̌·̵̭̌✽̤̈̊Ŧђɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣kƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇✽̤̈̊·̵̭̌·̵̭̌«̶⌣ 4d compliment.
I didn't do my field posting in Akangba. I noticed from NL that you sent a PM, but I didn't see it in my mail. Could you resend pls

Everyone I chat with keeps saying, ....."Na God ooo". I like that so much

..... After these 2weeks, some pple will find it difficult 2eat their first meal at home, or 2sleep in their own rooms at home (no-light/naija tins).

Many are seriously "chopping †ђξ life of their heads" now if you know what I mean. No forget o. Na naija you still dey o.

yusufkm: U will fill some sets of forms like 4 or five in number, after which one of d TCN staff will attest n correct some mistakes for u , if any. U will present ur original credentials for screening, after which those forms will be collected alongside with d photocopies of ur credentials n 4 passports. I hope dis helps. Greetings from Jos RTC

Yeah. ⌣»̶·̵̭̌·̵̭̌✽̤̈̊Ŧђɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣kƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇✽̤̈̊·̵̭̌·̵̭̌«̶⌣

All the way from Jos. That should be Engr Abia's centre if I'm not mistaken. My regards 2him if he's still there.

“Oº°˚ ˚°ºOOSE!!!!!!!!!

Day1 gone.
Congratulations again to everyone on training.
My questions are just 2.
1. Pls what was d documentation like, since u were 2report for documentation &training?
2. Are there relevant info that was said by d tcn staff(s) on ground at d training that some of us might benefit from? If u av such info, however irrelevant it may be, I do appeal that you share pls. Someone like me might benefit from it.
Do enjoy ur night 2 in ur 5-Star hotels.
Great nite

You guys are making me feel like wanting 2do this training again. We never had all these luxury IΩ̴̩̩̩̥ our time o. @quad, esuabassey, babyremi, haman, et al, you guys better stop fantasising before I come 2evict you myself. Lool. Anyway, enjoy it while it lasts. Work begins 2moro. Have you guys been given your manuals?

Wait, I thought som of us here didn't want 2do Naptin.... For such pple, iڪ that still ♈ōϋя position?

Waiting 4answers o.

Looool

MiRaaj: Reporting live from my room: No reason to be frustrated now after being patient for over 3 months! You will [/b]probably[b] lodge at Akangba NAPTIN World Class Hotel. A bus will be available soon, but I guess that should be after other formalities. In the meantime, you may want to buy some suya for the two ladies on ground. It is usually a nice way of starting a career!!

@Engr Raji. Don't tell me you went 2Akangba o, perhaps because we didn't have †ђξ luxury of †ђξ rooms then..... I'm expecting you in Abuja on 16th.

IMOHS: , i dey feel u. wish we were in thesame RTC,would luv 2 have met quite a number of guys 4rm dis 4rum.guys like u,wallex,he is alive,agaj,esuabassey,n quite a number of others.All d best peeps!

Hmmmm. Looking forward 2c all great guys too. I'll make plans to visit akangba and ijora rtc before I proceed 2Abuja on 16th. Ijora guys no vex o. But I prefer Akangba, anyday, anytime (Apart from d simulator in Ijora). Accomodation there is superb. My regards 2 Mr Ayoola in Akangba. That man is always there 2help, plus Mr Amusan himself.

My advice, u guys shuld bond well in ur various RTC. Some of us scheduled for Abuja already knw one another. It won't take time 2bond. Somehow, everyone will connect soon.

God bless us all.

dahaz: BTW pls were is blessmyij? hope she is fine.

I guess she's fine and in Enugu. Enugu guys shuld see her soon

cyraxjay: Stop dreaming. Nigeian Goverment is almost broke. They are cutting expenses not splashing money. Even if we think TCN may be a revenue generating agency, its hardly possible for us tto earn like NNPC. Let's face reality.

TCN job like every engineering job will be a hot cake because pple will want to get it 2get out of joblessness. I agree. But like you said, I don't believe d paper money they are pumping in will translate to higher earnings. In my own opinion, you are correct.

In my research, I discovered that d whole money budgeted for tcn dis year is more that what is budgeted for d ministry of power in itself. But I perceive that this money, if released at all, may go 2d chinese 2build more transmission lines and workcentres. Sadly we care abt infrastructural development with less emphasis on human capital development. This is evidenced by nipp stations still being run by foreigners cos "there are no engineers to take it up" according to James Olutu, d NDPHC boss himself.

But we await as d issues unfold. No doubt, a career in d power sector is a bomb. Its a dream career anyone driven by excellence will look forward to.

After †ђξ merriments associated with today, most of us here will begin our journey arrangements for this weekend. From me and my family, I wish us all journey mercies.


Lest I forget, Happy New Year

Before you know it, if you ask about the letters they wrote, they will ask you back.... "Which Letter"

All these in just one year?

Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, founder and spiritual head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church located at Oke-Afa, Isolo Lagos, is one man of God whose predictions have always been dogged by controversies. But convinced about the inspiration for the annual predictions, Primate Ayodele simply brushes off the disbelief of those who doubt his pronouncements as many of the predictions came to pass.

With the country sitting on the threshold of 2014, Sunday Sun sought audience with him on what to expect in the coming year. Looking into the future, he declared that the PDP would never regain the presidency after the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan. He also implored Nigerians to pray against the break up of the country. Please read on…

Many of the predictions you made in January 2013 had come to pass. One of them was the outbreak of cholera in some parts of this country. Now 2014 is close by. What should Nigeria, Nigerians and the entire world hope for?

Before now, I have said it that Obasanjo and Jonathan will fight and that one had come to pass. Now 2015, but let us take it from 2014, Jonathan will want to make some amendments by negotiating with different interest groups. Part of the negotiation will be the removal of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. There is going to be gang up against Jonathan. People will want to remove him. Part of the negotiation Jonathan will want to enter into will be the post of the vice president, secretary to the government of the federation. The founding fathers of the PDP will want to come together to save the party. Jonathan will concede some to have his way for his second term ambition. If Jonathan has his way, the second term will be a great setback for this country. Jonathan needs to pray because of his health and that of his wife.

On the five governors that defected to All Progressives Congress (APC), two or three of them will still go back to PDP. Some other PDP governors are still planning to move to the APC. Go and mark my words, APC too will still experience crisis. What will cause APC crisis is power tussle and self interest. I want Nigerians to know that God said I should inform them that Jonathan is the last PDP president that will rule this country. I have said it on several occasions that we need to pray so that this country will not disintegrate into fragments. I don’t know how soon it will be, but I foresee this country breaking up. The national dialogue or conference being planned by the Jonathan government will not produce any meaningful result. Go and mark my words this national conference outcome will be dumped by this government and any government that comes after Jonathan. This conference you see them setting up will only serve as a foundation for a bigger national conference that is coming in future.

We need to pray very well. All what we are seeing presently will lead to a strong probe coming to aviation sector. Some people will mount pressure on President Jonathan to remove Princess Stella Oduah, Diezani Allison-Madueke and Arunma Otteh. This will be part of negotiation Jonathan will enter into. There will be no improvement in the stock market.
Before now I had predicted that All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) would retain Anambra State. The governor-elect of Anambra State needs to pray very well, because there will be court action against his election that may threaten his smooth running of the state. This coming year, I foresee a lot of crisis coming up in Rivers, Delta, Nasarawa, Gombe, Yobe, Kano, Sokoto, Borno and Plateau states. There is going to be ethnic crisis in Delta State. We need to pray against ocean surge in Lagos State. In 2015, an unknown man will emerge as the governor of Lagos State.
Fashola and Tinubu should pray against quarrel between the two of them. I foresee quarrel coming up between them to the extent that it will cause some members of APC breaking away to join PDP in Lagos. Let us pray for Osun, Oyo and Lagos states, so that we will not witness death among royal fathers. Olofa of Offa town in Kwara State needs to pray very well so that he can return to his stool. Those that ganged up against him will be exposed. Boko Haram is in its last lap, but we need to pray so that God will weaken them more. Nobody will be able to capture Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram sect; Government will only end up killing him. Nigeria needs to pray against more deadly attacks from Boko Haram.
ASUU needs prayer so that government will not infiltrate them that may lead to the union breaking up into fragments. The last is not yet heard about strike, as Nigeria Labour Congress and doctors will still go on strike. NUT will table some demands before the Federal Government, which will lead to NUT wanting to go on strike. Let us pray against boat mishap in Lagos State. Many things will still be exposed as regards the oil subsidy saga in Nigeria. Jonathan government will not be able to manage corruption crisis in Nigeria, because corruption will get to its highest peak during Jonathan’s administration. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will not achieve anything, because the corruption is bigger than what EFCC can tame. Let us pray very well for God to avert death among the Nollywood actors and actresses, both Yoruba and English genres. Let us pray against problem among Fuji musicians. We need to pray for guidance for both print and electronic journalists. God is planning to bless Nigeria with natural resources that we’ve not seen before in this country. We are going to witness reforms in the Governors’ Forum. Let us pray against problems in our airports, especially Abuja and Lagos airports. A big probe is coming to FAAN and NCAA. Let us pray against the menace of pirates on our sea coastlines. African countries will still want to have common currency. Nigeria will change its currency in future. Our economy will not improve. Let us pray against rise in the attack on our petroleum pipelines. GTB, First Bank, WEMA and Sterling banks will retrench this coming year. New banks coming up.
New telecommunication company still coming. Mainstream, Keystone banks will have their names and managements changed in the nearest future. Nigerian electricity will not be stable until 2015/2016. We need to pray for Queen Elizabeth of England so that she will not lose someone close to her. She should, as a matter of fact, pray for her husband. Let us pray so that we don’t lose an African president come next year. Let us pray so that an African president will not face an ICC case that may force him to want to resign. A minister will be jailed in France as a result of corruption. Let us pray against cholera and measles outbreak. We need to also pray against rise in hypertension cases and eye problem. Aviation fuel price will rise this coming year. New airlines are coming into the local sector of the aviation industry. We need to protect our airports against external attack. There will be heavy importation of arms and ammunition through seaports in the coming year. We need to pray to avert death in the Nigerian Army. Many parastatal boards will be changed next year. Let us pray again against plane crash. America and United Kingdom need prayer against external attack. Israel needs prayer against attack. Syria crisis will soon be resolved, but before the resolution, Syria will experience more violence. Let us pray against coup d’état in any of the African countries. We need to pray against crisis in Kenya, South Sudan and Mauritius. Also Guinea Bissau will not be left out. The crisis in Egypt will continue, but it will soon be resolved, as the military will announce new date for election. There is going to be a lot of revelations in NNPC to the extent that it may lead to the removal of the Group Managing Director of the company. Let us pray against crisis in the Central Bank of Nigeria.

We need to pray because God revealed to me that not all the senators that begin the year will see the end of the year. Not all the members of the House of Representatives that start the year will see the end. There is going to be serious gang up against the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Let us pray against increment in the prices of foodstuffs. Let us pray against the death of a national leader in 2014. Our royal fathers need our collective prayers. I foresee beautiful road networks coming in Nigeria. We also need to pray against railway accident.

Emeth: Morning guys... Please does anyone know if we would require a laptop for the training? I honestly do not want to add a laptop to my baggage for a 2 weeks stay.. Thanks

You maynot necessarily need it. But you ♍aƔ later wish you brought it. Your study book iڪ big enough 4u 2read, but †ђξ slides of ♈ōϋя facilitators will be given 2u, which you may want to refer 2. Besides, most NAPTIN RTCs ♓ανε internet facility. You may wish to enjoy that while you are there.

I hope this helps

Destiny27: I guess she is aware because we were classmates then in primary school.

I'm 30. She's 29. But she will be 30 in February. And I 31 again in August. Just six months difference. Aug 19 and Feb 19. We have a daughter already. We were in 100level together. I finished before her cos she did Medicine. We never met for once in school. I studied Engineering. Perhaps we met unnoticed in 100level. Today, despite †ђξ fact that I tell her its not necessary, she goes on 2kneels 2greet me in †ђξ morning. That anyway makes me find ways of showing her I adore her. I really do. And she knows it.

This iڪ my own story

gsmedge: Wallex pls respond to the above question, I sent u a pm

You can always call 2ask for whatever information you need. Provided you are humble 2dem on phone in your presentation, I'm sure you'll be attended to 10 times. I accepted ur mail, expecting you 2reply. You didn't.

Fritz007: I would like to ask this question house....its abt the acct no for the documentation, is saving acct acceptable or is it only current Pls i nid urgent answers pls..

I think its basically your choice. In my current office, I still use savings acct

He is alive: To join the group/forum, here are the steps to be taken:

1. Intending member will scan/snap and send his/her appointment letter to brilliantnigerian@gmail.com

2. Secondly, he/she will create account with linkedin (I.e if the person does not has linkedin Account) and then join the group named POWER SYSTEM ENGINEERING (TCN)

3. Lastly, the intending member will wait for the approval of his/her membership by older members who have the password to the brilliantnigerian@gmail.com

I still don't support this idea of appointment letter. In a matter of days, most pple will be in different RTCs and it wld be easy to get Email addresses. For me, for now, if its †ђξ appointment letter that will disqualify me for now, I don't mind. However, you have a very nice concept

drucee21: yes mydear it is very true, naptin recomends you to coren thats why u have to ensure that u make proper notes for defence

So surprised! It would have been very good. But what iڪ †ђξ source of ♈ōϋя info? As much as I knw, that's not †ђξ info we have. That wasn't what †ђξ Coren registrar told †ђξ set that graduated during Naptin graduation. It could only facilitate registration. That's all I knw

agaj4life: @Walex and He_is_alive, we been together in this room cooling peoples and given them hope for along time. I belived the two of you can't support one idear unless if it is True.
As a result of that i command the room members with problem to contact Femi on the number drop by Quad. If my previous post had
hot any one here, im seeking for forgivness.
I remain agaj4life.

†ђξ strongest pple are †ђξ pple that can say I'm sorry. Now you make me feel weak.

agaj4life: A friend of mine contacted TCN about the Two sms recieved, they repliead him :Mechanical Engineers, civil Engineers and ND holders should go direct to TCN Hq. On 16 jan. They added "they are 48 in number". This category of ppls were not qualified for the Training, as is only for Electrical Engineering Graduate. This tally with what Abraham said in the forum. As you can see all Nd Holder were REJECT by Naptin.
So any ND, mech Eng,civil Eng. Holders should Go to the Hq on 16 jan . whether you recieved Sms or Not.

Yeah, you are very correct. Infact with †ђξ figure of 48 u gave, it looks more like it. A day before †ђξ txts were sent, †ђξ same Femi guy told me that abt 90 names have been sorted from †ђξ 522 names. The said pple according 2him won't be doing †ђξ training. I asked Ђδω †ђξ number was 90. He cldnt immediately give me a precise response. But he said he knows som have done †ђξ training on their own before. I challenged that as far as I know, only 43pple have done †ђξ training before that I knw. At least that was †ђξ info we heard from Naptin. †ђξ issue now iڪ that 48+43 isn't 90...... But again he said "abt 90 names". Looks close..... Anyway Ђδω does all these affect us sef. Whichever part we belong, January iڪ January.

Quodragoals: Well! I posted that to the best of my knowledge and that was what I received on that day. If you are not sure forge ahead and go to TCN hq so as to verify things by yourself. Secondly, before you post things here kindly verify everything to detail, when I called him he told me to sms my full name to him, which I did, so that he can confirm my station. I dont think I have done wrong by trying to help because I knew what we went through during the postponement era. Agaj4life, if eventually people found out that that number is real, an open apology would be demanded from you.

Well, he may be a fake. I don't know abt that. All I know iڪ that he was †ђξ one that verified my particulars †ђξ day I collected my own letter. He helped me correct †ђξ mistake in my name that day. He was at †ђξ Southwest stand. Apart from that, every info he has given me has been correct. Most of †ђξ time, I knew 24hrs before every postponement. As fake as he may be, †ђξ info he's been given me always tallied. †ђξ only info I ♓ανε not confirmed iڪ my posting. And I can't verify that until I get my posting letter.

shallangwa81: pls can someone describe how to get to Ijora RTC from the luxurious park in ijora. I will be coming from Adamawa and I don't know Lagos very well.

Ask anyone there to lead you on how to get to Ijora Olopa. Tell †ђξ person taking you there that you are alighting at Nepa. When you alight, you are abt 120meters there, bt ♈ōϋ ♍aƔ get confused cos it would be beside the road that they will drop you. Let someone then direct you to under †ђξ bridge (still tell them Nepa). From there, †ђξ real nepa station iڪ τ̅☺ †ђξ left aπϑ †ђξ rtc τ̅☺ †ђξ right. But ♈ōϋ don't say rtc. You say training school there o

†ђξ number quoted by quad iڪ not scam. He's actually one ☺f̶̲̥̅̊ †ђξ contacts I use in tcn. His name iڪ Femi

Fritz007: officer2 6th-17th

That explains it. Naptin HQ iڪ †ђξ number 1 RTC. Apparently you are going for †ђξ training there since its 6-17. But Some are to report there just on †ђξ 16th. Check my earlier post. Its about †ђξ dates difference not venue.

Fritz007: am reporting to naptin hqts abuja n i didnt do any training

Pls which post did u apply for? 2ndly, what date(s). Some are 6-17th while some are just 16th January. Pls what does urs state?

From my observation, most pple received a txt of this format:

PLEASE REPORT AT IJORA (LAGOS) TRAINING CENTRE FOR DOCUMENTATION AND TRAINING, 6-17 JANUARY, 2014. KINDLY COME WITH THE ORIGINALS OF YOUR CREDENTIALS, 4 PASSPORT PHOTOS, BANK ACCT NO./SORT CODE. YOU ARE TO REPORT ON 5TH JANUAY 2014 FOR ACCOMMODATION

And a few of us that have undergone naptin program won't do doc and training, but doc and posting. And pple in this category are going straight to Abuja and not Naptin RTC. Their own txt iڪ like this:

Please report at NAPTIN Hqtrs, Wuse II, Abuja for posting and documentation on Thursday 16th January, 2014. Come with your original credentials, 4 passport photos, Bank Acct No/Sort Code.

I don't just understand Ɣ pple in this category shuld still go 2Naptin HQ anyway. I also think OfficerIV will go straight τ̅☺ Abuja too.

Pls connect me when next u come 2 Abk. My architect told me somethings abt these last month.

omooba25: @wallex1983 am still awaiting ur response as per my request.thank you

Just click on my username and send me a message. Even if it iڪ a blank message. That's all

agaj4life: Point of Correction ! Bro . Did u know up to now some of this private sectors hasn't pay salary yet?

To me i should rather work for state government than this so called Private Disco and Genco. I thank God for been at Tcn.....

This is one of the reason that is dragging 9ja back. You shouldn't have applied ,since you have a well paid job. Now you block pps like ogunwale,authentic 2013 and others opportunity who has no job for hand. .....TCN should do something ooo.... This work is for eligible and fresh Graduate, pps that has less concern to the Monthly take hoMe.

**smiles** I have only presented som facts that I seem to have, and mind you, I said I don't want to be quoted, and you quoted me. I don vex for you o. But really I guess its my last paragraph that you are angry with. No vex. †ђξ tone read speculations really. Not everyone iڪ driven by money sha o. I don't recall saying money iڪ †ђξ ultimate. But I said its a motivation.
I know quite a number of friends leaving their jobs for tcn cos of career development (which I'm part of if you read my posts). Many of these guys will be having pay cut.

But again, its all abt planning for one's life. †ђξ day you start a new project, career path or any endeavour, goals are to be set. It will always guide and guard you.

Ultimately, No vex sha. But that I got tcn..... That one no be my fault o. Na God. I was prepared for it also sha by training. *smiles*

dahaz: what still baffles me is that uptill now no 1 is able to state the exact monthly take home pay for TCN

May I just say. An SM in an old nepa facility said total take home iڪ abt x2 of basic. That baffles me but it has an element of truth. How do I mean? I'm aware that in †ђξ old PHCN, som officer 2 don't get up to 80k, som abt 90k and som a little change above 100k. †ђξ reasons behind †ђξ disparity iڪ what I've not been able to solidly unravel. But I'm sure that pple in power stations are entitled to certain PS allowances that may not be there in disco. Disco may have their own scale for allowances too. And again, †ђξ hazard allowance for an operator (who enters †ђξ switch yard) isn't supposed to be †ђξ same with an HR person of same level..... All these aren't concrete enof cos I don't really have figures. So I don't want to be quoted until I have verified details or perhaps when we get begin to get alerts *laughs*

But again, Manitoba should know better that I won't want to stay in tcn for long if they pay me 120k and private investors in disco or genco pay 180-220k. Motivation iڪ key!
