@surj: I feel that the thread is now for those of us whom are still HOPING against all odds. I pray GOD sees us all through. Also, there is now a new thread called NEW NNPC EMPLOYEES,meaning there is now a divide.

@hafeezeeks, what sort of logic are you using. We should commend NNPC for undertaking a recruitment that is 50% merit-based because other agencies fails to reach your 50% percent benchmark? We should as well commend all pick-pockets for not being a full blown arm robbers. We should always aspire for the best and reject nothing less. Our problem as a nation started when we began settling for second best.

@ kazie: you have spoken my mind. I wish a lot more people would acknowledge GOD's Grace and Favour as the source of their success more foten.

[surj]

Those that made it shld be thankful 2 God and acknowledge that its not that they r better than those hoping. If you have done interviews in top multinationals b4, you will know that the kind conducted by NNPC may not be the best test of an individual.
I was asked like 14 questn bordering on my discipline wh i answered correctly with very positive responses from the panel but here am i with no letter.
I wish those that hv gotten a fulfulling career and also urge some of them like 'Ethnan' who was advising people that havn't gotten thier letas to 'search themselves and work on xter' to be humble and thank God

The Federal character (FC) issue is a shortcut to solving a problem that is eating away at the country.

We all know that we are not all equal, however, there are things that each an every one of us excel at over the other. FC tries to equalise everybody in Nigeria and that is why we are in the mess we are in today starting from 1914.

This issue has pervaded the whole sphere of human endeavor in this country. Let me ask, if FC was that important to our survival, why hasn't the private sector embraced it yet. How many Banks use FC while recruiting?

Remember Jamb. I, with a score of 230, was almost not admitted into school whereas a student who later became my friend entered on MERIT was admitted with a score of 203. Infact most students that were admitted that way never told anyone their Jamb scores because of the fear of been ridiculed.

Affirmative action (FC/ Quota system) has never solved the underlying societal problems of a Nation. It has not empowered the Black Zimbabweans farmers nor reduced Almajiri in the North nor helped black South Africans. I am not saying that it does not have its advantages, however, the feeling I get is that we are not looking to solving our problems head-on but are still employing shortcut.

To round up my treatise , One of the fields of endeavour that we have excelled in as a nation is football/other sports. I am sure nobody in Nigeria want to hear FC in football. Till date, I do not know the state of origin of our Atlanta 96 football squad and do not care. Infact, if 11 Almaijiri wins us the world cup, I will personally lead them to Aso Rock. If we achieved success in Football without focusing on FC, are we saying we cannot transfer same to other aspects of our lives.

Lastly, If PDP had chosen Donald Duke based on his performance rather than Goodluck based on FC, our situation as a Nation will probably be different today.

You have a point. I want those complaining to note this: know that graduating with a first class does not make you better than someone with a 2.1 or even 2.2. there are many factors. That you felt you did well in the test and interview does not mean someone else didn't do better. Most of the people that were sacked in my set for poor performance or falsification were not from the north. Some companies interview people and never employ any because they do not fit the profile of who they want to work for them It is not only about academic achievement. Academic qualification is just to lead you into the door what will make them keep you is inside you. If those complaining think they are better than the others then they have no business whatsoever seeking to be employed in NNPC because they would have set their sights on NLNG, Shell,Mobil, total and the likes.By the way those companies do not use federal character (even though some are skewed towards ND) so i will expect such people to get in easily since they are better than others.

Pls House. Nobody has answered my question.
Has any Economist GT or Social Science cadre received offer letter. I am awaiting your timely response.

[sidimury]

@surj, Lisabi, dustydee I don't think anyone is trying to say he is the best and must be employed here. What people are trying to say is that merit should be the criterion for deciding who gets a job and who doesnt not 'who you know'. While test and interview are not necessarily the best way of determining intelligence, that is all we've got for now. Until a better means is devised, we should make do with them for now. I am a strong proponent of merit-based FC selection though.

And who did not make it based on merit? Several criteria were set for the recruitment, which one was not adhered to?
