Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 9:55am On Jan 21, 2008 |
So another week has begun, i am beginning to notice some people have been absent from the thread for a while, anyway I'm praying with the lot of you, What is meant for you will be for you. I think that's something we should all take note of:no matter how painful it may seem, lets move from the realm of what we want to what God wants in our lives, meaning that we should trust God no matter the consequences it may seem that he doesn't answer prayers especially when we don't get the things we want the most but the truth is he just sees a whole lot clearer than we do, for all those who didn't make it i think now is the time to get even closer to God, that may seem very painfully odd especially when it feels like having faith didn't work but I believe the uncertainty of life, not knowing what may happen tomorrow and the disappointments we get should even draw us closer to him, he sees and knows the answer to that question we ask in the dark so many times ( WHY?) For all those who have made it, {and i say this with a very wide smile plastered on my face}, its the beginning of another journey, another road of desires, wants and needs, hold on to God and don't lose sight of him in your life, you're gonna need him even more, when you're praying for that promotion or that raise, For those still hopeful, key in to the testimony of others and have faith because God can still do it for you, Lets all remember that He has our future mapped out, even if it may not seem like a fantastic map from our point of view but hey be reassured that in spite of a few bumps here and there you will get to the end of the road, your destiny! as long as you hold on to Him. Cheers guys and have a sensational week, and don't be strangers drop a note once or twice, ![]() |

Hi Shell hopefuls and hopefilled, This is another new week and monday's already gone. No more hope for any of those scream-inspiring letters today, maybe tomorrow sha. i know of someone who has already sworn to lock down his entire street in celebration and thanksgiving, me sef, I've employed the services of family members in round-the-clock prayer and fasting for divine intervention, lol, anyways, no shaking. I just want to implore all those who have gotten letters and/or had their medical to please take some extra time to drop some more information to help their brothers and sisters coming behind and not just one liners like "i got my letter today" or "just through with my medicals" such information honestly just adds to the anxiety, guys, na beg i dey beg o, any information you feel might be helpful would be most appreciated. have a great evening people. , As the days go by, we need more than the normal dose of hope, so hang in there all hopefuls, no cause for alarm!!! |

Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by tonix88: 8:47pm On Jan 21, 2008 |
anybody in da haouse who did interview last week that have been invited? finance/hr? pls reply |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by Miketomi: 9:37pm On Jan 21, 2008 |
KDB: Thanks for your piece. Could it be that the invitation for the medicals is based on state of origin for now? Guys, to help unravel this mind boggling question, the already called pple shld pls indicate their state of origin? So many thoughts going thru my minds. O boy confusion don begin set in o. God dey sha. |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by Shezman: 10:29am On Jan 22, 2008 |
Thanks a lot for the info KDB, Happy for you man!!! All the best. To all other guys, day 2 of week 2 and counting. Well all make it!!!! |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 10:37am On Jan 22, 2008 |
Miketomi i doubt if state of origin is the basis for inviting people for medicals, they could even be doing it alphabetically, according to performance or even randomly, i don't think the order in which they invite is important, whats important is being shortlisted in the first place, i know your anxious but just keep praying OK, Thanks KDB for keeping the house informed, we really appreciate that, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tonix88 i don't know if anyone has been invited from last week interviews, but i heard there was supposed to be a ten day waiting period sooo just relax I'm sure they'll soon contact you with information. Lets keep the faith alive people. |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 11:45am On Jan 22, 2008 |
Very interesting piece from the guardian newspaper, thought you all might want to see this Government queries restructuring in Shell By Yakubu Lawal, Yetunde Ebosele and Taiwo Hassan PLANS by the Anglo-Dutch oil giant, Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC), to sack many of its Nigerian employees in what it calls a re-structuring exercise may have earned the company a summon from the Federal Government. There are indeed suspicions that the said restructuring might be a ploy to ease out Nigerians from the system and replace them with expatriates. The restructuring, sources say, might also not be unconnected with losses incurred by the oil firm through militant activities in the Niger Delta. . The government has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to demand justification for the exercise, which will throw many Nigerians into the Labour market and make nonsense of the Nigerian content for the petroleum industry. Already, the NNPC has instructed its upstream supervisory body - National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) - to call a meeting before the end of this week to seek explanation on some grey areas in the re-structuring exercise which government feels is recurring too frequently from the Shell group in Nigeria. Sources at the Ministry of Energy in Abuja told The Guardian that the management of the NNPC had written a memo to the Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, over the issue and that it also met last week Friday to deliberate on the issue. It was also gathered that the management of NAPIMS has severally requested Shell boss, Mutiu Sunmonu, to justify the planned restructuring but all the explanations given were not satisfactory to the agency. The Guardian source said among the issues that would be on the agenda for this week's meeting between the NNPC and Shell are: That Shell must submit all the names of the expatriate staff that are affected in this exercise as well as their Nigerian counterpart; Nigerians had occupied some positions for years and therefore seek justification for bringing an expatriate to occupy the positions at the expense of qualified Nigerians in Shell group; that Shell should explain the concept of "common services" in the re-organisation exercise as the company's Joint Venture Operation (JV) as well as Production Sharing Contract (PSC) which falls under different fiscal regime or contract with the government; and the government will also want to know from Shell management how the severance package, which has not been approved by all the partners in the joint operation, would be funded, particularly whether it is part of this year's JV budget. The Guardian source noted that there are so many other issues that the company had not resolved with the government before embarking on this action, stressing that as a company operating a joint venture business, Shell needs government's approval through NNPC or NAPIMS before executing any project. Shell's spokesperson, Mr. Precious Okolobo, sent the following e-mail to The Guardian yesterday in response to enquiries on the matter. The Guardian: Will all categories of staff (Nigerian and expatriate) be affected in the re-organisation? Okolobo: Yes. The Guardian: We understand those who will be asked to leave are being offered 'juicy packages' - how will you fund these payments? Okolobo: We are committed to following all the legal requirements and contractual agreements associated with any release of personnel and we will honour such obligations. Beyond this, we are unable to provide details of individual agreements, as these are covered by confidentiality obligations. The Guardian: Did you get approval from the government before embarking on the exercise? Okolobo: Our SPDC JV partners have been informed. Their companies already tend to operate as a single entity in the country. In the background information attached, Okolobo explained that the re-organisation was to enhance efficiency and accountability and reduce costs by taking advantage of synergies and eliminating duplication by reorganising the core business functions and the provision of support services between the three companies - The Shell Petroleum Development Company LTD (SPDC), Shell Exploration and Production Africa (SEPA) and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) into one integrated organisation under a project called 'One Shell'. The Guardian however gathered that the letters of termination of appointment would be served to affected employees from the first week of March. Besides, The Guardian gathered that majority of those to be affected would be mostly from support departments such as administrative, public affairs, logistics and others while those found to be incompetent would be affected in core operational areas. "The final list is almost ready. The management is in the process of fine-tuning the list and also seeking the understanding of the senior partner and the industry regulatory body. They may go ahead with the plan under the guise of anticipatory approval," the source said. Besides, the source disclosed that talks are currently on between the various Labour unions and management on necessary compensations to accrue to affected staff. "Shell, due to massive loss incurred as a result of the continued violence in the Niger Delta had actually decided to reduce its staff strength from last year but series of persuasion had delayed the process till now. Only about one quarter of the people on Shell's pay roll are actual staff while majority are engaged on contractual basis. So, in essence, only a few of its key staffer would be affected by the purge. Shell has over the last three years been losing about 650,000 barrels of crude per day due to the facility shut-in occasioned by militant activities in the Niger Delta region. |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 12:26pm On Jan 22, 2008 |
As we are battling and praying to get in many people right now are praying to stay in, it's sad whats happening, but i guess the Niger delta crises has really affected their production levels and they have to cut costs, today it is shell tomorrow it could be another oil company having this problem ( God forbid), this oil palaver will definitely have a multiplier effect on Nigeria's economy, the job market is already taking a hit here, really if there is no job security in oil and gas, ( which we all know is virtually the hotcake in Nigeria at the moment) i wonder what will happen, I guess that's why there is the constant cry for a solution to the ongoing Niger delta crises, and a constant need to pray for our country! i read in another article also in the guardian newspaper (PENGASSAN cautions SHELL on planned workers strike)that restructuring may take till April, meaning we fin/hr guys might not be called anytime soon for medicals, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When are you sitp guys starting your training ![]() |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by KDB(m): 8:03pm On Jan 22, 2008 |
hey all, hope y'all gettin ready for your medicals cos its coming soon, heard our training should start sometime in march though, can't wait frankly, |

Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by muchluv(m): 9:48am On Jan 23, 2008 |
didnt you guys see the guardian report? there is a major shake up in shell and its not unconnected to the militant activities in the region. how do we expect a company loosing income to recruit more staff and pay heavily? the only luck we could get is being exploited, really think about it, shell would rather lay the heavly experienced hands and employ newbies like ourselves and pay less with some other insentives missing. but we would accept since we seem jobless and in the end get paid like banks do pay. im still wondering why agip doesnt even do any advert for freshers, thats by the way for those who have done medicals good luck at least when the wait is over you would be called, and those still waiting for medicals, keep ur fingers crossed, |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by onavae(m): 2:39pm On Jan 23, 2008 |

I also thank God for those that were not invited, afterall, God knows best and of course. Lets keep praying that this disappointment will only lead to greater strenght, blessings and divine favour, amen. On my knees, i pray to God for those of us still waiting for our e-mails, that the mails will not be disappointing ones and that shell will be our portion in Jesus name, Amen. well, na to still de wait now. no be till 29th? oya now, the wait is on! only say each time i think of opening my box, hypertension go wan burst my heart. May God save me from this excruiciating, frustrating and hypertensive wait, in Jesus name, Amen. |

Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by 2good(m): 5:52pm On Jan 23, 2008 |
Hi all, I am in a very tight state because of 5 people in my group,4 people have been contacted except myself.of the four people, 3 people made it and 1 did not. The people that made it were called at different time. The first got his mail on the 17th, the second got hers on monday, and the third got hers today. The only one that didnt made it got her mail on thursday, 17th last week. I dont understand while shell will be sending mail in batches and giving people unnecessary blood pressure. Is it that they've contacted all those that didnt made it or they will still send disappointment email? well i'm still waiting and hoping I get a good mail from Shell |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by oye1: 7:42pm On Jan 23, 2008 |
@2good. the same thing with me. All the other guys in my group have been contacted except me. One of them who got called today said they called him first to ascertain his email before sending him mail. Could it be that those of us yet to be contacted have issues with our emails? Does anyone knows anybody contacted with bad news after the 17th? |
Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by KDB(m): 8:46pm On Jan 23, 2008 |
