Identified as @ManshakLawson on X, the man shared how his friend was picked over him.
He was responding to a tweet that stated that people could get jobs in top companies without any connection.
The tweet read:
“In 2019, I did CBN & NNPC exams, did interview but didn't get any. My friend, a Jos boy, Christian with first class economics from ABU Zaria got the two offers almost the same time on merit. He picked CBN. He went to the training institute & became the best intake of that set.”

@abycolion said:
"Yes ,i had friends and classmates who entered NNPC, NNLG without knowing anyone....Strictly on merit...."
@_shebejnr said:
"Thet was because they called for applications and in cases like this definitely some people will get based on merit. As for CBN, CBN did not do any exam 2019 Oga. Make una no dey give false info. NNPC called for applications and that was why people who had no connections were able to get. When they did not call for applications, tell me who was called just like that? And Yes, CBN never invited people for exams."
@Litkwalssnappy said:
"You can perhaps reference the application portal that was used by the CBN in 2019...no doubt NNPCL announced theirs and made it public both in 2019 and 2024, buy you see CBN, ECN, BOI etc. Forget. Even those that wrote the supposed exams did so because they knew someone."
