A new thread for NNPC Hopefuls

[4gkevin]

ur contribution was a good one. to me the house should accept it. No time at all.

I m so glad we acted like great minds and suspended d protest due 2 d events of yesterday. I pray dat GOD comforts us all as a nation. Nevertheless, suspending d protest 4 long may ve d same insignificant effect as holding it during dis mourning period, bcos by den d aluta spirit must ve reduced causing divisions amongst us and may b d present mgt whom we r going there to meet, ll b gone by den. Life goes on, I suggest we carry on with our protest on Thursday, after d 3 days national morning. I believe by then, d dust must have settled, giving us all d attention we need 4rm d media and sympathisers, and those mourning ll begin 2 regain their strength.

Bebrief,
Please can we hear from you

[Favouredstan]

Bebrief pls pm me ur fone number. I hv tried fwding mine 2 u but to know avail

[arabic4real]

I accept the thursday protest and this time NO GOING BACK, even if there are 5 plane crashes, whether it involves top mgt staffs of NNPC/DPR it wont stop d protest. Thats my humble submission

[RegiM]

I've always been in support of d protest and as @ yesterday, I was ready to be at Total Filling station this morning. But there was no doubt in my mind that d most sensible tin to do will be to stand down n wait 4 d right time.
I support d protest to be shifted till Thursday. As painful and unfair as it is, life goes on...

[DivineEnigma]

i believe the new thursday date has its merits & demerits, but id suggest that b4 we begin choosing another date we should put certain things into consideration, for one i think thursday is 2 soon after the mourning and besides channels tv just reported Austin Oniwon is in USA attending a conference. i wd hv prefered a day/date close 2 a wednesday so the FEC can consider it in thier next meeting.

[RegiM]

Or next Monday Its just d thot of it being too late dat scares us.

[jonkal]

Thursday is very much OK. We dont need Austin to be in Nigeria before we carry out our protest cos he is not even the reason for the delay in the release of the letters. Remember even he Austin takes orders from above. The FEC will consider the issues resulting from the protest whether we protest close to a Wednessday or not so it doesnt make any difference. Pls lets stop peddling with flimsy excuses on this protest cos the 3days mourning period consideration we have observed is the only reasonable excuse that arose so far. Thursday is very much ideal for this protest which in my own calculation is even LONG OVERDUE. Remember a stitch in time saves nine. We are already running out of time and might soon find ourselves swimming against the tide.

@All,


I have been silent since yesterday for a moment of silence in honor of those who lost their lives in the ill-fated Dana Airlines plane crash...May their souls rest in peace, Amen. As we enter the second day of National mourning, we grief our country - a place where things cannot be done rightly, where faulty planes are allowed to fly in a bid to make "more money", where in the midst of daunting unemployment figures, recruitment are conducted by government parastatals and after 2-years there's nothing to show, even after money has been allocated and approved for the process.


However, we shall not relent in our efforts as future leaders to right these wrongs, even in our own little ways and by drawing the attention of relevant government bodies through civil/peaceful means to this evil menace.


But be that as it may, we allowed only one publication on Page 6 of National Mirror newspaper of yesterday 4th June, titled "Alleged recruitment scam rocks NNPC, DPR". Thanks to @debrown and Tordue Salem (the Journalist who summarized and published our press statement into a beautiful exposé). Also, the press statement were delivered and acknowledged at the office of the Zonal Manager NNPC, 22 Miverton Street, Ikoyi Lagos as well as the office of Director DPR, 7 Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island Lagos. Later, I will make scanned copies of the publication as well as the acknowledged copies of our letters to those who have not yet seen it yet.


We may have to give some time (at least a week) for these sad events to pass by, though we might be greeted with the news of a management change in the NNPC anytime soon, and we pray that when it happens or before then, our letters will be speedily released. From the comments and reactions I have received from various quarters, I believe these pockets of efforts so far have made some significant positive impact. Let's now pray and watch to see if the desired result is achieved soon, if not we can then re-strategize.


The struggle continues, but for now we shall weep with our people, and pray for the families of the victims of these multiple weekend disasters over the weekend, which includes the Bauchi bombings, the Lagos trailer explosions, the Ghana cargo plane crash, as well as the Dana Air mishap, that God may grant the families the fortitude to bear their loss and eternal rest to the souls of the departed.

Good job well done. All ur efforts shall not be in vain by God's grace.

the incidents of the past week,is sincerely sad and calls for a sober reflection on the state of infrastructure in our nation.
these infrastucture can only be manned and maintained by a progressive workforce.
the rot in the oil industry is as a result of the low standards in the work force.
we have called off the protest, but even if it had held,it would have failed or made low impact.
with time on our side now,it is important that we strategise on how to make the protest, have impact.
i spoke with some brethen in the human rights and labour community, and these are some things we did not do.
1) we need to be organized..as in a name, a contact address and clear line of leadership.(a headless org is a monster)
2) we need to inform the police, the state security service and the NNPC mgt through correspondence of the protest.(be sure it would get the presidencys attention thereafter)
3) we need to sensitise the public,by creating awareness via television, radio and newspapers 0f thr problem and planned protest.(talk shows,kaakaki,etc)
4) we need to elicit the support of human rights activist to support and speak at the rally,...femi falana,olisa agbakoba,mike ozekhome,etc
5) we need to meet and create departments and directorates (contact persons) to handle the different areas.
6) a world press conference on the day of the protest, at the NUJ lighthouse in ogba.
7) branded shirts, flags, banners and posters.
public address system.....batteries etc
9) clear cut journey mgt....commencement and closing
the intent is to pass a mesasgae in a simple but effective manner

@Bebrief: I sincerely thank u for the effort made. However, I am pleased to make the following remarks In good spirit as drawn from what u mentioned.
1) That we are future leaders is not invoke any longer. That future is now and its on the past. Mind us that Rtd buhari is still waiting to be our president after 20
somethg yrs ago. Which future are we talking about. Pls, let us have it now.
2) Though i appreciate the publication on the National mirror, I believe one of either punch, vanguard, the Guardian and thisday newspaper will do us a lot good and the
needed attention.
3) We just can't keep mourning. We need attention to be noticed, and Thursday should remain in my own opinion.
One luv.

@JA:
Good morning and thank u for all the effort. While I appreciate the outlined procedures, the Jesus army i now will inform the house which of these procedures the house stand to achieve through his wisdom. For me, I can work towards getting few branded shirts for the lagos chapter and banners. So help me God. Aluto 4ever.
