Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation

ma man, it took a while, but i think after quite an ivestigation i concluded shell is better organised in nigeria than mobil, for example, tribalism hardly exists in shell as staff are of various tribes n ethnic groups, but on the contrary, mobil is completely dominated by the yoruba's, (fact),  and i might add, imagine a scenario whereby your in the office and everyones speakin yoruba?? , its pretty fustrating,

secondly, who say's mobil pays better?? it only seems that way because they don't have as much benefits as shell does, well that depends on what your looking for i guess, but ultimately, in terms of pay, i would say shell would be on top,

then of course shell has better staff care/welfare if you know what i mean, everythin wit mobil is always stress (in nigeria that is), i remember a couple of site inspections/evaluations i did with some of the staff while i was serving, and their logistics was shockin, flight scheduling was almost always wrong n hotel accomodations where always few n far between, as compared to shell,

all these are but to mention a few,

well these are jus my views, am sure some peeps would disagree but they are facts,

good evening all!!!!!!!

15 days to go

Shell incentives seems to really have no rival in the oil and Gas company in Nigeria.

@KDB

As regards tribalism, the major problem with Mobil is like they scarcely blv in quota system, they seem to blv much on merit but alas Nigerians are in charge so merit atime is aligned with tribalism.

There are also claims from some quaters that Yorubas also dominate both Chevron and Shell (sic).

However on a neutral ground, for now, Yorubas may still be dominating many sectors of Nigeria that requires high skill. Those yoruba people seems to be ahead of other tribes in terms of western education.

@Robbie,

               Thanks, man. One just has to keep expecting the good news to come ASAP.

@SITP Hope-filleds,

                Let the counting go on, on and on. Happy for you, guys!

Hi guys

hope you all had swell weekends, been a little under the weather for a while and out of circulation, sorry about that jare. I see yemhosky answered our call and finally dropped a word.  Good to have you back men, i thought you had completely exed our side ohhhhh.


On the oil company's debate, I really do not have facts as such, but with my little experience with mobil i realised that
There's a little bit of the Nigerian factor present in the company, though my experience with them  was really brief and may be to short to reach a strong conclusion but  i PERSONALLY think Shell is a lot more professional than mobil, i hear Total also scores really high in professionalism, but in terms of pay and incentives i don't know for sure which is a better option.

I don't think the yoruba factor is an issue, i am not yoruba but i tend not to look at tribes as a big issue, we are all one nigeria jare, and if mobil takes people on merit and yoruba's come out tops then there is no reason why yoruba's should not dominate the company,

though i am not a fan of language speaking at work and i know yoruba's over love their lanuguage, but still it's not cool to speak in any languauge people around you cannot understand when you are in a professional environment,

For me the choice of company depends on what's important to you as an individual, and where God wants you to be.

People do extremely well in most of these oil companies and at the same time lots of people get redundant and don't really have any career growth and stuff. So it depends on who you are and what you want to get from where you are.

tommy vex i dey oh
whats your yahoo I'm?
give it to me fast let me buzz you

It's good that you consciously try not to make people fell uncomfortable, i know how i feel when people just break into their lanuguage - it's an impolite way of indirectly saying "it's not your business".

I'm curious to know what type of information would really require that one speaks his local lanugauge in a professional environment

@Robbie
Several of them especially if u r trying to explain or teach something to a colleague.

@ masaroke

Hi guys,greetings to u all ones again. and congrats to all shellllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeee. well just wondering.

@ hopeful:  i wonder if there is still any hopeful who has not heard, receive a mail of any kind from shell yet. because like me i haven't got anything. do reply.


@ house :Well what did u think i should do?

long time no post. My internet connection was down. My bro, i have not received any letter from shell(SITP) good or bad but i learnt that last week they sent almost everyone on the waiting list "bad" mails. Now that we've not heard  anything, what exactly do we do seeing that there are only 5 working days remaining to April 1?

hi robbie check my profile,
Oh u offline,later then

@scoobydoo >
I believe in last minute miracle that happened at the cross of calvary, where the thief got a ticket to heaven,even without following due process. that they sent bad mails to almost all without either of us, may be God's dive intervention. Deinowei told me that 4 peope decline their offer, what do u know God can still do smthing. forget the time, even at the last minute to ELV MIRACLE CAN HAPPEN WITH GOD.

well what i intend to do is to send a mail to Bernard Enahoro,that ihave not receive any letter. I hope u do same and wait believing a miracle.

@ Shell-hopefilled < we that have not receive our letter yet needed ur prayers. because we love to meet u guys and continue the trend physically. hope u'll do so,

Well there is no any fixed wireless telcoms service in Warri. Before now Mobitel used to be but they are off biz .
However, all the four GSM networks are working perfectly there.
