Please.....In as much as we looked paained with the turn of events,let us all be calm.
Truly,all Brock posted looks conditional...He said 'IF'...So XtruZz,since you know you are giving us the correct info,there should be no cause for alarm.You ought not to have reacted like that...Mr Brock,abeg,take it easy...We are all in the same shoes and i dont think laying curse is an option now...
Just my thought oooo

There is one more choice, that can be carried out before elections ”P” . You have been listening to these people fighting tooth and nail for their own interest what has come out of it! now merit folks listen to yourselves and do what would likely work in your interest, even if it doesn’t you have nothing to lose because as it is there is nothing for you.

When you tell people slot are being traded and promised to people they won’t believe. Like I always say the truth is like air, it will eventually come out.

Merit folks! I have told you before and would tell you again without mincing words waiting is not in your favor. Sometimes I just laugh, some of us now have demanding jobs thats need our full attention. My days on this trend are numbered but I have already said it; I will see this through with one final act

Xtruzz:


Xtruzz the villa call talk say wetin abeg?
[color=#000000][/color]

The call was made in regards to his own candidates. They are all waiting. We are not the only 1 waiting..other people are waiting too which includes people that where promised 2nd batch. You've no chioce than to keep waiting please.

IT WILL COME.

Pls who made the call?

No need for quarrel courses or insults. We are all humans and bound to react to what we see or hear.

It marvels me that people are already on training and others are yet to be called. I spoke with a friend in DPR today and he hardly believes there is any pending list.

Nothing is wrong with keeping fingers crossed while doing other things. The words of God are sure and will surely come to pass.

It is well with us all.

U doubt marvel ,Brocksman.. how do u know you are a merit candidate? Or that u made the final list at all, na u score yourself? u doubt Marvel info which i too doubt long ago but u still keep marvel so called merit and sh gist.



@makonko, no reason dat question ooo, xtruz na story teller o, the answer him go give u, fit shock u.hahahahaha

Epianuuu:

Now you just asked the right questions.

I don’t, even if i have the conviction that based on merit (exam & interview scores) I should make it into DPR. I really don’t care about myself, Whether you believe it or not.

Right from the word “go”, slot trading was going on; that was what gave birth to the term “Stakeholder Candidates”. As call were made, lists of names were submitted, merit (exam & interview scores) were disregarded. Some didn’t even write test. Few mouthed men even paid Mordecai Ladan a visit and APLs followed them home. How long should we sit back and watch few privileged Nigerians bring the entire country to ruins. Whats the hope of the intelligent children of the common man, whose brain power is able to restore this country.

Anyways i would do this for the people that should have made that list based on merit (exam & interview scores), that their hopes were bashed and names were substituted for that of people who can’t even spell properly.

Why?...... because i can. Everywhere you find yourself take a stand against evil.

Yes ọ. Uselessly optimistic and extremely religious. Any small thing, them go involve God, optimism and prayer. If that is wat China, Japan, US and other developed countries needed to succeed, am 101% sure they will remain under developed like Nigeria. Very naive foolish set of stupid people

If they don’t call this week, it isn’t my fault but rest assured that people will pick up APLs this month. The DPR have been very secretive about this second batch. They don’t need pressure from any person or group.
The Director has told those he has promised to be patient. Some candidates who confirmed their names on the merit list followed up the selection process & their names were included on the second list. Like I said, not everyone on the merit list will be called due to the limited number of available slots.
Cheers!

Do your research!

2008 Recruitment was shared amongst powers that be then swept under carpet, only the luckiest of luck got in.

2013 was savaged by a newspaper publication, it would have go the way of 2008 recruitment without it. The evidence is online for all who seek the truth.

Marvel, The same way you need this thread to deceive folks (especially the overly religious without knowledge of the things of the Spirit) and keep them from any action that would disrupt your plans is the same way i would use the thread to empower them and break away from the shackles of your deception.

Mark my words, tomorrow will come nothing will happen you will be given new dates, told new stories!

Well regrettably this is the first time we would both be in agreement. The most problems i had was with the Christians, I won’t blame most of them cause it was due to their lack of knowledge. Funny enough When the Former Marvel started to weight in the fact that they thought if they merited the job and their names were replaced it was God’s plan that when i started to suspect him because that was a big blatant lie, may God have mercy on whoever was handling that Marvel65 moniker but he/she won’t escape judgement!

Very immature folks on this thread, i never wanted to say anything because im allergic to abuses. Be rest assured there is going to be second batch, and if you believe there is no second batch please leave the thread, its that simple. There is no reason for people to be abusing someone they believe is their only source of information. I cant start telling you my source of information but from what i gathered, second batch is sacrosanct, and You can beleive what ever you want to believe. Marvel is very much informed and he should be celebrated not villified.

My Last Sermon - God’s Plan

If you are here and you still think that if you made it on merit and your name was replace then it was not God’s plan for you, permit me to educate you. You don’t have to agree with me you can also see your pastor.

What is God Plan for you
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Does God want you to continue staying at home - NO. Does God want you to continue in that job that is leading no where and leaves you with no savings - NO. Does God want to you have this juicy DPR job -YES!

Nevertheless God plan for you can be delayed, diverted and even stolen. How do i know.

(Here Jesus was telling the Parable of the Farmer that sow good seeds then the enemies can to plant weed.)

(Jesus still speaking)
Matthew 13:27-28 - The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “An enemy did this,” he replied.

1 Corinthians 16:9 - a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

How can you get back God’s plan for your life from the thieving enemies - YOU MUST CONTEND WITH THE ENEMY WITH YOUR OWN HANDS!

(Here Issac was telling Esau the only way to recover his dominion that was stolen from him by his brother Jacob)
Genesis 27:40b - when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.

No matter how much you pray God would still need people to make a difference in Nigeria. Even in the exception cases where God takes on the battle by Himself you have to be present to face the enemy (eg battle at the wall of Jericho) If you can’t be used of God to raise up and face the challenges of today forget about tomorrow because the challenges of tomorrow would be far greater.

Hello Mr Marvel, I wish to thank u immensely for ur encouragements and information dissemination on this thread. Also I hail ur maturity and decorum despite some rascality exhibited towards u by some guys here. Plz don't mind them. This thread was opened for exchange and dissemination of information, accepting the info shared here is not by force. If one feels he or she does not need the info, he or she should ignore it. Besides no one is being paid for information shared or accepted. Marvel u have been helpful I must confessed. By God's grace (inshAllah) I will explain why I said u have been helpful when I collect my APL.

Plz Marvel I beg u to continue to dish out relevant info once u have one for us that still believe in ur info. Plz don't be deterred by these unnecessary attacks by some guys here. Once again, may God bless u Marvel and also best wishes to all positive minded persons on this thread because the 2nd batch is sacrosanct and imminent.

Like I said before my days on this trend are numbered, as it there is no need waiting till tomorrow.

As promised but I won't pull the strings for you. With your own hands merit folks! work your own salvation. You have from now till 15th Feb. God has prepared people for this, whether they raise up or not would determined if they have what it takes to actualize God's plan for their lives or continue wallow at the bottom. if you choose to continue to wait on lies, don't ever let the thought God didn't answer your prayers.

Long Post

OPEN LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT, MUHAMMADU BUHARI BY CONCERNED NIGERIAN GRADUATES ON THE ONGOINGS OF DPR RECRUITMENT 2016 BY DPR MANAGEMENT IN THE SELECTIVE RELEASE OF APPOINTMENT LETTERS IN A MANNER LACKING FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY AND SUGGESTIVE OF NEPOTISM.

Your Excellency Sir,

Firstly, we want to congratulate you on picking APC’s presidential ticket, we hope this success which is not based on personal frivolity or the thought of amassing personal gain but deep sense of commitment to making a difference in the lives of our people will be the spirit we can beckon upon to aid us in our cause. We are hopeful that we have a leader who would champion a clarion call to all Nigerians and people in authority to do the right thing, be it carrying their day-to-day responsibilities with integrity to fight and stamp out the scourge of corruption or the conduction and successful conclusion of free and fair recruitment exercises by government parastatals, which is the subject of our protest as we draw attention to this anomaly that needs to be addressed.

Mr. President, to better understand our trivial, we would have to narrate the whole DPR recruitment journey. On 25th of October 2016, Department of Petroleum Resources advertised vacancies for Experienced Hires and Graduate Trainee positions. The minimum class of degree to qualify for this recruitment process was a second class lower division and according to DPR’s website the official mode of communication was through candidates’ portals. Sometime in July 2017, we received test invite via our portals; some also received email/sms notifying them to check their portal. Over 40,000 young, bright and promising Nigerian youths sat for the DPR's recruitment test in various locations across the country having met the stipulated recruitment criteria. Many of these young chaps had to pass through a lot of rigors in order to write this test. Many of the candidates had to embark on harrowing journeys on the death traps we call inter-state roads. Others traveled from various parts of the world on personally funded flights.

On getting to the test venues, In their hordes these hopeful Nigerian youths bore the infernal heat of the sun, as they waited for the officials of the DPR and Snapnet Limited, nothing could better define the enthusiasm of these young ones than the arrival of a newly wedded bride still dressed resplendently in her wedding gown making her way through the crowd to "secure her future". Despite these inconveniences, over 4,000 candidates passed the test and were invited for interviews in December 2017. A good number of the candidates missed their interview because they didn’t receive any official email and sms communication informing them to check their portal after months of no correspondence from DPR. Many testified to being lucky to have been informed to check their portals through their fellow candidates via social media platforms especially Nairaland; an online public forum. Getting to the interview filled us with immerse hope for our country Nigeria, something was finally working right we thought. The last batch of successful candidates were interviewed at the various geographical Nigeria across Nigeria, in a time when the security situation of Nigeria could best be described as tenuous, owing to the endless political violence that were becoming rife. Once again, optimistic Nigerians made the trip to the specified locations across lands and oceans at personal expense.

Fast forward to June 2018, we got wind that the journey of almost two years would roll to its conclusion. Then it first started as rumors, that without a political connection or the backing of an influential sponsor getting an appointment letter from DPR was a mirage. We waved off such rumors holding on to our faith that the recruitment would end with the same integrity and transparency it started under the leadership of Mr. Ahmad Rufai Shakur; Head, Corporate Services. However our profound faith was misplaced as we were awaken by the rude shock of distribution of appointment letters outside the use of portal updates. DPR started contacting “special candidates” through phone calls, which was unusual considering the mode of communication during the first 2 stages of the recruitment was through the portal. These special candidates have collect their appointment letters and they have since resumed at their various locations with yet no official communication through the portal to the merit candidates, who were successful in both test and interview conducted. Some of these special candidates confessed to have had strings pull on their behalf, while the rest disappeared leaving us to our fate. From senatorial connections to slots being allotted to present and past management staff of DPR, who apart from receiving huge remunerations average Nigerians can only dream of also covert the organization’s employment slots as part of their entitlement.

Hopefuls are increasingly wary, because the conspiracy of silence on this process forebodes ominous signals as was the case with the 2008 and 2012 recruitment. Unlike 2008 recruitment which was ingloriously swept under the carpet, 2012 recruitment was savaged with the aid of a newspaper publication such as this. The questions that keep begging for answers are: What offense did the common Nigerian youth commit? Is there any hope for the son and daughters of the common man that are working hard to rise above the factors in their environment mitigating their success? What then is stopping the release of appointment letters to successful interviewees of the common folks? Should we just accept that employment in government parastatals is now reserved for the politically connected, rich and powerful?

Department of the Petroleum Resources (DPR) have decided to play the ostrich concerning the recruitment of a few deserving Nigerian youths, whereas in this nation, billions of naira have gone into sustaining the avarice of a few. It needs some reiteration that it is the career of hardworking, deserving young Nigerians that is being toyed with by a privileged few. Mr President, Ministers and top management staff of these organizations should remember that “those whose nuts were cracked by benevolent spirits are morally obliged to others”. It is also worthy of note that increased personnel costs were defended by Department of Petroleum Resources at the Senate defense hearing. The Director of the DPR, Mr Mordecai Dantani Baba Ladan confirmed the department was to recruit 700 staff. It is however surprising therefore that months after this promise, numerous sons and daughters of the privileged and highly placed in the government and society have been employed; while the sons and daughters of the common man have been treated with uttermost disdain. Numerous slots have been traded based on entitlement while the hard-work of the common Nigerian youth was looked down upon and scoffed at. What kind of future is there for this regulatory body where employment slots are given on a platter of gold to the children of the privileged while brilliant minds are ignored just because they have no political connection or an influential sponsor?

We advocate for fairness, goodwill and the successful conclusion of this process, otherwise will call to question the genuineness of Mr. President’s change agenda and fight against corruption, which most of the hopefuls bought and gave him their votes for. It is unjust that in this nation, a cabal of few persons who brought this nation down on her knees still runs amok, whereas the employment of a few hundred youths have become a matter of contention. So far, the hopefuls have remained calm. We are gentlemen and ladies in the very sense of it; we are responsible professionals/would be professionals, but there is a point to which we can suffer the evil in the land.

We therefore wish to by this medium call on your attention Mr. President and all relevant stakeholders of government to this menace. We do not intend to castigate anybody by this letter but we expect the right thing to be done, which by our plea is that the remaining candidates who merited this job be immediately contacted to collect their appointment letters; putting an end to this deliberate delay so as to avoid any scenario that may lead to the cancellation of this recruitment or further manipulations that will favor more “special candidates” under the guise of doing the right thing.

It is our hope that Mr President, you will lend a listening ear to our plea, by looking into a speedy conclusion of this long-running recruitment process in favour of successful candidates of the common men and women of our country and invite them for training in the spirit of Mr. President’s transformation agenda and job creation for the Nigerian youth.
We appreciate the involvement of media and civil society in our cause as an injustice against the Nigerian youth is one against the Nation's future.

GOD BLESS YOU!

GOD BLESS DPR!

GOD BLESS NIGERIAN GRADUATES!

GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!
