70% connection, lie, lie, lie. U just dey talk as if u be the HR. Na connection u take get that ur work?

Let me tell u some thing about federal goverment recruitment that u may not know. Federal goverment uses quarter system. They may take 20 or15 person from each state as the case may be. If u are from a state with more applicant, it becomes difficult for u and if u are from a state with few applicant, it becomes easy for u to get the job. Now let me give u live situation. In 2006 after my OND, NNPC advertise must of us with distinction and upper credit apply for the trainee operator position. Two of my course mate from Ebonyi state got the job, they are in warri refinery till today, . In 2010 NNPC advertise again, now we have graduated and most of us apply again. My friend from bayelsa and his elder brother got the job. He is in PH refinery. All this people did not have any connection, the question is, how many people from ebonyi or bayelsa state have upper credit or distinction that wrote NNPC aptitude test and pass? Very few, so they have more chance of getting the job compare to me and others from delta state. The competition is high in delta, u have to be the best. So if u are from delta state, u will be shouting connection, connection that is making u not to get the job. For NNPC, i will tell u that merit is more than connect, go and ask very well.

Note also that for 90% of connection to work for you, u have to meet the required qualification to apply for the job, and u have to pass the aptitude test so dat ur connection can have mouth to speak for u. If u fail aptitude test woefully, ur connection will be ashame to speak for u and that is why most people with connection are not getting the job.

Now let me expose those who are claiming that they have connection. Those with connection, tell us when the aptitude test will be coducted? Ask ur connection and tell us, those that ES has promise job, please ask ES and tell us. Nobody go answer the question ooo. Just watch.

Friend please prepare for the test if u are shortlisted and u will come here to share the good news

I don't need to argue with you. You sound like a fresh graduate who knows nothing about FG recruitment. I don't need to tell you I got my FG work. Please let's stop this childish talk and face on the reality on ground that's how to pass to next stage of this recruitment. Thanks

babacha:


If u think i am a fresh graduate, no problem but i have 9 years experience in oil and gas and in 4 different companies. am sending all this messages from am offshore platform.

The message am passing across is that. If u think u need connection to get a job, then u will not job any good job in ur life, remove connection from ur mind and compete with ur mate. I am where i am today without any man connection. God has has been my connection and am moving forward

Since you know there is a reality on ground to discuss, den stop connection talk here.

Thank u

We all know connection ALWAYS plays out in Nigeria's recruitment exercise and so do MERIT but coming here to disturb us with connections talk simply means you have given up already. This thread is not created for connections talk please. We are here to help each other with informations as regards our preparations and what to expect in the fourth coming aptitude test. Let's calm down abeg. That was how one certain Teddybear was disturbing people on the NNPC thread about connections talk but in the end many people I know got it on merit and they came hard on him and disgraced him out of that thread. We are all Nigerians here and we know how things work so I don't think we need any reminder as regards that. Wishing us all the best.

You guys should just thread softly, the competition hasn't started yet. At this stage, only luck could make one get shortlisted for the aptitude test.
One might meet all the criteria but still not get shortlisted which means one has lost the battle even before the war starts. Let's just pray we get shortlisted and then start thinking of the next step. The ball is in your court only when you've been sent invitation to write aptitude test.

As for the merit part, I think for NCDMB to have remained anonymous in the newspaper publication, then you'll should know they really mean business and not ready to entertain job lobbying by politicians or public servants. I won't be surprised if this recruitment is handled entirely by a third party outsource firm. Probably, NCDMB would only call us for offer at the end of the recruitment or just for interview.

For the quota system, this would also play a part in this recruitment but not to the extent of that of other FG agencies due to the location of the head office. I guess little number of northern applicants applied. You all know security is a major concern in the country. If unrest should happen in Niger Delta, a hausa man would be very vulnerable. I think this might be a factor while less application might be received from northern people. I see southern names dominating the employment list but every geopolitical zones would be represented.

As for those looking for past questions, this is the first time NCDMB is recruiting openly. We don't even know the recruitment firm handling it. I would just advise anyone not used to aptitude tests should go and study how to solve mathematics problems and master their shortcuts. Also Use of English should be mastered.

As for me, until I get shortlisted before I take this recruitment serious as that is when the power is transferred to me and not the recruiter. I see this recruitment coming to an end before the end of this year, 2020. NCDMB plans to bring all new and existing staff into the new edifice office this year. I think that's reason why they option for virtual test because of the urgency attached to this recruitment and moreover, the pandemic. So, the recruitment would most likely be a quick one and majorly full of merit candidates.
The firm is just 10 years old, favouritism isn't that much there yet. Go to Twitter, you all will see this agency is transparent with all their dealings.

Good luck to everyone of us!! See you all in Local Content Tower come December. But before then, we should keep sharing necessary information as the recruitment advances.

I have gone through your profile, I saw you applied for DPR 2016. So what happened there? They did not pick merit or what?

babacha:


Are u dreaming? please wake up. Where did u see me apply for DPR? Is that what ur village people told u? Sorry, they have lied to u. Go and tell them that i have NEVER apply for DPR job before.

I dont know why u still want to believe that connection is the only best way to get a job. Change that mind set if u want to make progress in ur job hunting

Oga the way you are going on about this your pro merit activism is rather not it, allow people to shield themselves from the rocky terrain that is the Nigerian labour market especially as it relates to Federal govt recruitments. It has become a coping mechanism for applicant's mental health from the jungle out here, because for some people their grades/age already puts them at a disadvantage in the private sector.

There's no one here that will not want to be a recipient/beneficiary of whatever the percentage slots of the merit candidates are. Because at the end of the day, the vast majority of us don't know anybody and as such we're only putting our hope on that. One thing we must not do is lie to ourselves or downplay the fact that connection plays a major role in federal government recruitments and that already stacks the odds against the numerous candidates who don't know anybody.

Most of us here have participated in one or numerous govt recruitments and we all know what the popular outcome has always been, we only continue applying because we are hoping for that breakthrough. Personally, I have learnt that a lot of people will be shouting merit while pressing buttons in the background and that was evident in my time on the DPR thread where people were shouting merit up and down, but at the end of the day the story was different.

This is not to dampen anyone's spirit, but just to let us know not to swallow every tale of merit with hook, line and sinker. And all the best to everyone in their endeavors and also in the course of the recruitment process.

So we should start discussing connection here na, get my point clear, ur shouting connection, connection. That will not help any body here. How will u feel if a doctor tell u dat the chances of surviving what is disturbing is low, will it dampen ur spirit? And how will u feel if another doctor tell u dat what is disturbing u is a small tin to handle? Will dat lighting ur spirit? The power of the mind is very strong, if u give urself hope, u achieve great tins, but if u lose hope before the fight, u can never win.

I dont care wat happen at the end after all not every one will get the job, but dont kill any body fighting spirit. Some times connection dont work d way u think. Let me tell u some tin that happen within this covid-19 period. Because of the fear of the outbreak of covid-19 in offshore facilities, my company have to tell many of us to stop work. My back to back is from the same community with the HR of my company and he is very close to the HR. He is the one that give me information of wat is going on. But to my surprise the company call me first to resume now that tins has normalised and he has not been called with his closeness and connection to the HR. Most times ur performance speak more than ur connection.

Am not saying there is no connection. If u have worked in a private company, u find out that there more connection and man know man in the private company than the goverment company. But am not an advocate of connection. Because there are thousands of people out there lik me who dont have connection and i cant kill their fighting spirit. What i preach is "fight for it, u will get it, dont demoralise urself with the connection of others u already have the greatest connection in the world - God " am not forcing any body to accept my preaching, but that is what i preach. I give realistic hope to people.

Thank u

@Nekkycee, Naciest and Babacha. Some one among you wrote something about aptitude test and APL collection.
Is it that NCDMB did aptitude test only(without interview) in one of their past recruitments?
