My likely stand on NNPC's inclusion under IPPIS

IF I GET APL: How dare they attempt to reduce our salaries and allowances? Do they have any idea what other oil companies are paying their workers at all? If the Government continues with this move, it will just end up making the NNPC an official passageway for guys to be moving on to Chevron, Shell etc. This will inevitably lead to the dearth of expertise required to move NNPC to their 'NEXT LEVEL'.

IF I DO NO GET APL: This move by the Government is laudable. I see no reason why some set of workers should have better compensation than others in the first place. Are they gods? Are they not just workers like the others? Infact, to ensure equity and transparency, all Government agencies should be subjected to the IPPIS. I recommend that the Government extends this valiant move to other parastatals like the CBN, FIRS etc.

I'm sure i'm not the only one. ;

They are not the same,One(Civil Servant ) is employed by the Civil Service Commission ( Federal or State) and the Other (Public Servant) by a Parastatal under MDA.

Ah, is English and understanding a simple sentence really one of our major problems in this country.
After talking about the Context it was used in, and even going as far as providing a proof from Oxford that reinforces the statement made.

Hmmm, I think local man is now tired.

Rafiq2:


Mr pastor what are you implying, just because you keep calling God in whatever you type does not make others less faithfull than You. I WILL ALWAYS SAY THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHO I FACE. NNPC categorically stated that ALL WHO PASS WILL BE INVITED TO THE NEXT STAGE. Yes God made it possible. But miracles only work when you also work hard.

I seriously dislike religious pricks, this is my first & last mention for u on this thread. YOU WILL BE IGNORED from now on

Kevlala:


Dnt be vexed. In the context u used it, we get ur drift.

However, for knowledge sake to the house, there is a [b][/b]slight difference between a civil servant and public servant.

A civil servant is one who is hired (paid) by the government to work for the public sector.

The other (public servant) is one who is elected or appointed as a member of the government for social or public services.

It is most times used interchangeably.

Checkmate0074:


Be creating your own Dictionary meaning and Context there. I can't argue with you ,English Noah. Local Man is even more tired .

BenFlash:


In other words, the use of the term "Public Servant" would have been wrong in this NNPC context.

Robocorp:


Of course you can, you've done that already.
Now repeat after me, 'I won't argue with you'

Robocorp:
Don't mind them, this whole thing started when @sempumping wanted me to use 'Public Servant' in place of the 'Civil Servant' I used while referring to the nnpc staff.
But the problem with nairaland sometimes, is that people just jump into arguments they know nothing about.

Kevlala:


Yes bro. It is wrong.

But again we get what he intended. They say communication is effective when the receiver understands the sender perfectly.

I understood him.

BenFlash:


Oh you understood him too? You must be a "jobless weakling" like me I have to admit.

Kevlala:


Sempunping was wrong in calling NNPC staff public servant.
RoboCop was correct using Civil servant.

However, the search showed by RoboCop intended to say the both are same which is slightly wrong.

BenFlash:


All civil servants can fall under the umbrella of a public servant (emphasis on the word "public" because they render their services to a community); so they can actually be the same in some context.
