charlsecy4: Test? I only did an application.

After application at the Diageo website, by email, I received a reference number. I also got another email which read:

Thank you for applying to Diageo's GRADUATE FINANCE - NIGERIA role in Nigeria. We have successfully received your online application and will now begin to review your qualifications for the role in our Africa Early Careers Programme.

Since then I have not received any alerts from them. What do you think?

Obviously, mai gaskiya applied for another role entirely and not the "Diageo africa early careers" that dealt with only management-related courses. They'd definitely get back to us whether the application was successful or not.

Na wa o.

Why is this not on the front page yet?

Just saw that the OP's date was as far back as 2006.

Ikazuagbe: As any one in the house been contacted on the next stage as regard the above subject matter, please let know whats up,thanks and God bless,

Ok then. Thanks for the info.

Never knew they've started calling. I applied for finance and I haven't heard of any one else that has been called.

Hi all, hope the 2nd stage went well. I got a mail on thursday saying I've been recommended for a third stage interview and that they'll get back to me regarding further info. Did anyone else get the mail?

Seems we don't have people on nairaland that are working in Sahara or conversant with their recruitment procedures as no one knows what's coming. Please anyone with knowledge of how the next stage goes should fill us in.

Una don derail the thread sha.

I don't get it. "Kwarikwa" is an Igbo slang, so what's the connection with their own song?? Abi do they now speak Igbo in Ghana?. Rubbish

Evagreenfields: Thanks a bunch Vera. Apparently I didn't make it to the next stage for Sahara, I wish the rest of u the best of luck..

Wow...all the best in your endeavours dear. We aren't even sure of anything yet. We can only hope and pray even as we do our best.

samsown: just got an email from ash....for stage 2, we're supposed to be in our traditional attires.
Did any one here apply for Nigerian breweries mgt program?

I also got the invitation for stage two. Mine is 11am on the 14th. What of you?...and yea, I also applied for NB. They said we should be expecting the test from the 15th.

I just thought I should get people's view on this. You can check out the site to even see the comments from the citizens. They think its outrageous. Lol. For the love of American football. Hehe

Anyone who’s seen Friday Night Lights knows high school football in Texas is no joke. It’s particularly not a laughing matter in the Dallas suburb of Allen, which just spent $60 million on a lavish new stadium for its high school football team.

When residents decided the previous 14-000-seat stadium wasn’t large enough, they approved plans for the new facility in 2009, NBC DFW reports. The Allen Eagles’ new home contains 18,000 seats, a 75-by-45 foot HD video scoreboard, a weight room and sunken-bowl design. The press room and private boxes rival those of college stadiums. It’s quite an upgrade from the old facility — one that didn’t even have built-in bathrooms.

But don’t go calling Guinness just yet: Eagle Stadium is only the third-largest high school arena in the state, though it is the largest one used exclusively by a single team. The Allen Eagles consistently rank among Texas’ top 10 football teams, having clinched the state championship in 2008 and notching up a cumulative record of 88-15 over the past eight seasons, according to MaxPreps.

“We just have to [be] blessed and humble and not take it for granted,” incoming senior and defensive back Michael Jacob told NBC. He said the team doesn’t feel additional pressure to perform well, but they’re excited to take the field on their new turf. Christian Herr, an architect who worked on the project, said he predicts other districts will get competitive once their teams play in Allen and want to build giant, lavish stadiums as well. The school’s athletic director, Steve Williams expects around 8,000 season ticket holders. But the new facility isn’t all about football, Williams told NBC. It’s also home to areas for wrestling and indoor golf.

Inevitably, though, a majority of the attention will focus on the lush, expansive field when the Allen Eagles step onto it for the first time on August 31.

Uhm...my question is since he's employing graduates as truck drivers, does that mean he'll then employ Msc holders as trainees in the admin and other non-haulage departments? Just thinking.

Evagreenfields: Seems m the only one here in fire group. Mine is for 10.00 on Friday

You should be done by now. How was it oo. Hope it went great.

@100 shades, chill a little. Elimination would most likely start after fire group's interview today. They can't also view his profile. Does that mean that people who haven't even done the interview yet will be eliminated? I don't think so!

@sleeky8, yea I made a 2.1, but I think people that made 2.2 were called too. I don't want to believe that they'll shun them after stating that both 2.1 and 2.2 should apply.

@samsown, ok that's good to hear. Let's keep hope alive.

sleeky8: fanks bro 4 ur response i agree wit u on d last part of ur write up i recently did mtn interview and even though i faild sum of d questions i got a kall back 4 a second interview reason being i was so fuckin confident givin ma interviewer wrng answers plus i lukd at her straight in d eye and didnt flinch.

On d q "do u c urself workin only in a finance relatd field" pls tel mi hw u answerd cus i feel its a trick q. Did u make a 2.1 cus ma calculations is dat only dat grade of applicants were invitd

Yea, I sensed it as a trick question, but I didn't know what answer could be wrong or right, so I answered it the best way I felt I could answer it...by replying with a bold "Yes", cos they insisted on just a yes or no.

@100shades, same thing applies to my group, the earth group and I thinkit also applies to other groups. Haven't been able to access his profile or posts. Let's see how it all plays out.

sleeky8: pls tel us in details hw d interview went

Got there on time and waited till they called my me, along with another guy, to enter the interview room. There were like 5 of them in the panel and the whole thing didn't take more than five minutes.

First off they started bombarding my partner about his age and why he looks far older than his stipulated age and if he has his birth certificate, C.V, picture or the nokia phone with him. He came with none and they kinda got pissed off I guess and even started asking him about his academic history (from nursery to present with dates), and finally told him to market a product to me.

Then they faced me. I gave them all the documents above. They then went on by asking me to tell them what I'm doing right now to add value to myself (told them I just passed out from NYSC and currently undergoing my ICAN programme). They then asked me why not ACCA...blah blah. I gave them reasons for my choice too. Someone else asked me what my future goals are and if a finance-related department is actually the only place I see my self working in. Some other questions in between sha.

I got the idea that its actually not what you answer but how you answer and how confident you are while answering these questions that may matter.

samsown: Hi guys, Earth person here. Anyone with info about the interview process this year should please share. If we don't get any info, my suggestion is to be ready for whatever. Aptitude test, brain teasers etc. The key is to be calm and calculative. My interview is 3pm today. All the best y'all!

Hope the interview finally went well for you. Mine was by 9am and it went fine. I just hope and pray I scale through to the second stage. Young group of people in the panel doing the interview. Really motivated me sha.

mrkels: Hmmmmm this is definately the sahara spirit calling. I got one wen the called me last year. Na ebay I buy am o. Those sahara people are useless jare.

Please can you share more regarding your experience with them when you got the white nokia? Cos I'm in same brouhaha. I was thinking we may have to think out ways around it and not exactly the physical thing. Na wa o.

Hehehe. Ash just told us to look for the white Nokia. I guess this will finally be for all groups. Oh well!

VERA ODIH: @ zibe, i get it, tanks, wonder what he will come up with for us, wat time is ur interview?

I just confirmed mine to be 9am, thursday...thought it was 8am. Anyway, all the best!

@Vera Odih, wind group and earth group are two different groups. I'm in earth group and we weren't asked to bring the Nokia phone. That task is for the Water and Wind groups. Hope I've clearified it.

So I guess you all saw the list of those invited for interview. Mine falls on thursday, 8am. Please anyone that is familiar with them should give an insight here. The funny thing is I haven't been invited yet to join one of the four groups on FB. He only added me as a friend. I'll have to call regarding this tomorrow. God help us all.

Evagreenfields: Amen. Did d name change earlier and was put under the group "fire".what about you

My name change is yet to reflect on my FB page. FB is saying it'll take 24hrs so by this evening I'll send him the request. I just wanna be sure first.

I got the mail too. I just finished changing my facebook name to reflect the name on the C.V I submitted to them. I just pray we sail through.

The Nigerian god is one. It may have many different manifestations, but it is essentially different sides of the same coin. Sometimes, adherents of the different sides may fight and kill each other. But Nigerians essentially follow the Nigerian god.

This article is for all those who want to become better worshippers. If you are a new or prospective convert, God will bless you for choosing the Nigerian god. This is just how you must worship him.

First, you must understand that being a worshipper has nothing to do with character, good works or righteousness. So the fact that you choose to open every meeting with multiple prayers does not mean that you intend to do what is right. The opening prayer is important. Nothing can work without it. If you are gathered to discuss how to inflate contracts, begin with an opening prayer or two. If you are gathered to discuss how to rig elections, begin with a prayer. The Nigerian god appreciates communication.

When you sneak away from your wife to call your girlfriend in the bathroom, and she asks if you will come this weekend, you must say—in addition to “Yes”—“By God’s grace” or “God willing”. It doesn’t matter the language you use. Just add it. The Nigerian god likes to be consulted before you do anything, including a trip to Obudu to see your lover.

When worshipping the Nigerian god, be loud. No, the Nigerian god is not hard of hearing. It is just that he appreciates your loud fervour, like he appreciates loud raucous music. The Nigerian god doesn’t care if you have neighbours and neither should you. When you are worshipping in your house, make sure the neighbours can’t sleep. Use loud speakers even if you are only two in the building. Anyone who complains must be evil. God will judge such a person.

Attribute everything to the Nigerian god. So, if you diverted funds from public projects and are able to afford that Phantom, when people say you have a nice car, say, “Na God”. If someone asks what the secret of all your wealth is, say, “God has been good to me”. By this you mean the Nigerian god who gave you the uncommon wisdom to re-appropriate public funds.

Consult the Nigerian god when you don’t feel like working. The Nigerian god understands that we live in a harsh climate where it is hard to do any real work. So, if you have no clue how to be in charge and things start collapsing, ask people to pray to God and ask for his intervention.

The Nigerian god loves elections and politics. When you have bribed people to get the Party nomination, used thugs to steal and stuff ballot boxes, intimidated people into either sitting at home or voting for you, lied about everything from your assets to your age, and you eventually, (through God’s grace), win the elections, you must begin by declaring that your success is the wish of God and that the other candidate should accept this will of God. It is not your fault whom the Nigerian god chooses to reward with political success. How can mere mortals complain?

The Nigerian god does not tolerate disrespect. If someone insults your religion, you must look for anyone like them and kill them. Doesn’t matter what you use—sticks, machetes, grenade launchers, IED’s, AK47’s.

The Nigerian god performs signs and wonders. He does everything from cure HIV to High BP. And the Nigerian god is creative: he can teach a person who was born blind the difference between blue and green when the man of god asks, and he can teach a person born deaf instant English. As a worshipper you must let him deliver you because every case of sickness is caused by evil demons and not infections. Every case of barrenness is caused by witches and has no scientific explanation. So instead of hospital, visit agents of the Nigerian god. But the Nigerian god does not cure corruption. Do not attempt to mock him.

If you worship the Nigerian god, you are under no obligation to be nice or kind to people who are not worshippers. They deserve no courtesy.

The Nigerian god is also online. As a worshipper, you are not obliged to be good or decent on Facebook or twitter all week except on Friday and Sunday, both of which the Nigerian god marks as holy. So you may forward obscene photos, insult people, forward lewd jokes on all days except the holy days. On those holy days, whichever applies to you, put up statuses saying how much you are crazy about God.

These days, the Nigerian god also permits tweets and Facebook updates like: "Now in Church" or "This guy in front of me needs to stop dozing" when performing acts of worship.

In all, the Nigerian god is very kind and accommodating. He gives glory and riches and private jets. And if you worship him well, he will immensely bless your hustle.

I seriously don't find this funny. Just when you think nothing new can come up! Peole are deliberating on issues that affect the populace to be in the constitution and our own president's wife is canvassing for her selfish interest.

Have companies actually started implementing IFRS? And I'd like to know if the current ICAN pack (PE1) is based on it (IFRS). I'm asking cos I heard rumours of change in the syllabus soon. Don't know how true though.

Meanwhile, I'm surprised at the number of failure in AAA in the just released ICAN results. Really depressing. About 90%(if not more) failure.
