ogunwale01: It's only because u guys didn't see ur scores dat's reason u can't understand wot's going on. Imagine som1 dat scored 67% was nt choosen while som1 dat scored 45% was choosen. Put urself in dat condition, will u be happy? pls, dont be selfish. Let's us fight it 2gether.

Let me educate u small to d best of my knowledge. On d day of interview , people were saying dat the criterias for d selection are 1) your state 2) federal constituency FC 3) gender cos they did it 35 % female and dey took 18 per state ie 13 males and 5 females. Ok following dat, d persom dat got 65 might cm from FC A, and d one dat scored 45, from FC B. In A, people might have scored too high dat he didn't make it in his FC but for d person in B, he/ she might even be d highest there and was chosen. Again, d person with 45 might be a lady, so she was chosen cos among d ladies she is d first five. So my dear, as u can see one of these might be d reason why d 65 was not chosen.
If it was dat easy to sort, you that was opportuned to see SCORES would have wangled ur way to TCN.So just take it dat God has better thing and work place in stock for you.
I will not be surprise if u attack me back but I've just told u d truth. They might not be 100% transparent but will give them 90%. I rest my case

I understand wot u ar saying bt it shld nt be like dat, it shld be in order of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...... not 6,5,4,3,2,1,8,7......... i don't bliv in dis federal character tinz. So, 4 those dat were nt called 4 appointment leta, is not dat u didn't do well o. U just av 2 accept ur fate and keep d ball rolling, bt still, IT IS NOT OVER UNTILL IT IS OVER.

@Ogunwale01:

‘HE WHO LIVES IN THE PAST IS ALREADY DEAD, HE WHO LIVES IN THE
FUTURE HAS NOT YET LIVED, BUT HE WHO LIVES IN THE PRESENT IS TRULY
ALIVE’

So often we live our lives fearing what might not even come into fruition. This
is mainly due to past hurts and the fear that they will happen again, but most
of all I think it comes down to the fact we believe we don’t deserve any better.
It is a vicious cycle that can swallow us up. We find ourselves too busy
focusing on ‘this will go wrong’, ‘I don’t deserve this’, we end up living a life
too busy focusing on the bad stuff that has happened that we miss the good
things that are happening right in front of us. I’m sure we’ve all been there
before. It is this fear that the big bad would happen again that makes us so
afraid to move forward, to put ourselves out there, to simply take a risk and
hope that this time it would be different. Because of this we miss out on so
many of the great opportunities life has to offer.

Yes life is a real bitch sometimes, but guess what, life can be a bitch for
everyone. It really comes down to the mindset of what you want to do with it.
Problems are circumstantial, yes shit happens but you choose to let it pull you
down or flick it off your shoe and move forward. Seriously how often can you
handle the smell of shit on your shoe before you have to kick it off?
Our past can hold us back and the unknown future can petrify us at times, too
often we find ourselves focusing on these then what is actually happening in the
now. I once heard a phrase that went like this…

‘He who lives in the past is already dead, he who lives in the future has not yet
lived, but he who lives in the present is truly alive’
Being someone who has lived both in the past and in the future, I know from
personal experience this gets you no where. Your heart only gets hurt as much
as you let it. Yes people disappoint us, some more so then others, some even
hurt us in ways that at times we feel might never move on from. But to believe
that as truth you are simply lying to yourself. Ultimately we are in control of our
lives and we have the power within to choose how we let the shitty moments in
life that we are faced with effect us.

What is the point of living in the past, you can’t change what has already
happened, and what’s the point of fearing a future of things that have not yet
happened. You’re more then likely to bring the things you fear the most into
fruition by focusing on them. Live for the now, take a risk, take a chance
because at the end of the day today is simply just another tomorrow.

No wonder u didn't scale tru, ur reasoning ability is abysmally low. Is it TCN dat started federal character? Guy wake up. Its over and no amount of juju of petition wil cancel the recruitment.

I was a victim of federal character in NNPC recruitment. Why do u think some gud students with gud jamb scores don't get admission whilein some states those with 150 score are taken for medicine and law?

Go hang urself if u think federal character started today. Frustrated ninny goat.

Ogunwale, when a person fails, he's ntt regarded a failure till he fails to rise again! I appliied online like others n I almost ...when i got this job cos its God's will for me. God's will for you pertaining to a good job will not be unfulfilled in your life in the name of Jesus Christ, the son of God, amen!

All this abusive and countered abusive comments are totally uncalled for... ogunwale has expressed himself without calling names so why the abuses To me i dont approve what he said, and his grievances can't change the fate of any one here so why worry about him... Well for me its wrong attacking him, he is not TCN so we all should let him be. "i don't bliv in dis
federal character tinz. So, 4 those dat
were nt called 4 appointment leta, is
not dat u didn't do well o. U just av 2

TCN Does not need the service of a frustrated slowpoke, hence the reason you didn't get the job. TCN has been repositioned for better performance. That's the reason they recruited young and energetic engineers. But a riff-raff like you will only come and spoil it, hence the reason you were not successful. Go and intensify the use of your juju and whatever you know. You will use your own head to carry it. Stupid nincompoop!

Guys, is there not a way of removing this jejune from this thread? Even if you make your own post searching for information from your other successful colleagues without calling him, without mentioning his name, he will still attack you. He will still call you name. His bitterness has gone beyond control. Are we the recruiters? Are we the federal govt? I wonder why the chicken is now holding grudge against the cooking pot instead of the knife that kills it.

l know how painful it cld be when one lose out but there is hope in the power sector considering the milestone of 40k mega watt/ 18k skilled worker required to drive the energy. with time federal character will not be applicable, l bet u TCN might have to fight for people to stay in the employment time will tell. There will be greener welfare outside TCN in no time from now. pls relax guy things will be ok.
we need a thread exclusively to the employed TCN Trainees and l suggest blessmj kick start the process possibly outside nairaland, the one here is too open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much vitriol in here! Y'all need to chill mehn.

Hello Ogunwale, take it easy, ok? I understand where you are coming from but let's face it dis Federal Character issue didn't start today and (sadly imho) won't end anytime soon. This is definitely not d right place to discuss its merits and demerits. Most of us hav prob been affected by it in one way or another- Common Entrance, JAMB, other Fed Govt agency recruitments etc.

Look to the future, forget the past, enjoy the present.
In Tubaba's famous words "Who God has blessed no man can curse".
I hope you find yours just as we seem to have found ours.

House, I need your contribution regarding the questions below:

1) What would happen If +ve terminal of a DC battery is connected to a bulb (using one wire) & another wire coming out from bulb is inserted in the ground (earth) instead of connecting it to the -ve terminal of the battery:
a) Would the bulb glow?
b) If yes, does it mean electrons in the wire flow into the earth?
c) If no, would it glow if the -ve terminal of the battery is connected to
the ground?

2) Could you account for the electrons that enter the ground as a result of:
a) connection of the neutral of electric source and drain to a ground?
b) Short circuit fault to a ground?
c) Surges been directed to the ground?

*please give explanation where necessary.
Thanking you.

The bulb would not glow until the negative terminal of the battery is also earthed. Current flows from the negative terminal of a battery to the positive terminal. The direction of conventional current flow which is from positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal is wrong. In the case above, when d negative terminal of d battery is earthed, current i.e electrons will flow from d negative terminal to d earth and from d earth to d wire connected to d bulb which you have already earthed.Current will then flow from d bulb to d positive terminal of d battery through d other wire which you have already connected to d positive terminal of d battery

hmmm fedaral Character don lon ooooo
Today in the morning while listening a program brodcast by one private Radio station in my Beloved satate, i had Sect, to the Govnr of my state Said TcN has give the state a vacant of 15 Engrs. ...so it seems each state has a fresh vacant of 15 pps. .....Ogunwale if you know some politician in your state, then this is your chance!
