CCIECLASS: The truth is that, there are a lot of youths already working in shell, shell has the largest employee rate in the country for an oil and gas company. a company cannot employ everyone. some disgruntled youths are unhappy and decide to prevent everyone from working. face the government first, before you face a private firm. i work with shell and i can tell you currently we have over 20,000 so called youths working as contract staff with shell, tell me which other oil and gas company employs that much.
bros, wat about the permanent staffs.. The bigger positions are occupied by non indigenes.. Hope u know dat

lets solve this simple mathematics. shell is an engineering company. engineering gtaduates are required. please who can get us statistics of Nigerian graduates over the past ten years and how many engineering graduates with minimum of 2-2 are from each geopolitical zone. I'm from the middle belt, I can bet you 70% will come from south west and south east.


so do you expect shell to employ political scientist to do well engineering jobs. think, think, think.

lonamy: what really surprised me is the fact that, these angry youths don't have what it takes to be employed. they don't have quality education, the kind of education in the south south is amazing.
ordinary shl test they can not pass, even the few that try to scape cut off marks, you will vomit while interviewing them, they don't have the qualities, imaging what they are fighting for, that is to show their level of intellegence.

well shell is already planning to sell off her assets in port harcourt as they did in warri and warri is now a ghost town. I think in another 2-3 years shell must have completed all the sales of her assets and move to Lagos finally. this call by the youths is a catalyst to shell's plan to leave port harcourt. youths you are fighting the battle you can never win, instead go back to your elders and ask what they did to the money they could have used to give you the quality education that could have made you employeable anywhere in the world. to be very frank with you, you don't have the qualities, shikenah.
guy, I'm from rivers.. Though its true that some youths don't have the qualities, but not all, the ones that have the qualities don't fight for their right.. Have they tried interviewing some educated peeps from the riverrine part of rivers state that experienced colonisation.. U just might be surprised.. Chikena

the lecturers in the universities such as uniport are not helping matters. by demanding money for marks from guys and pussy for grades from girls, they are gradually spoiling the future of these people, that is why they are not employable. the school didn't really pass through them, because what it takes to have 2-1 is money and pussy.

if you don't sleep with lecturer no NYSC, if you don't pay you can't graduate. all I need to do is to gain admission, do business make money to settle my lecturers, why wasting time sitting down to listen to any boring lecturer.

when I graduate with 2-1 I will get a job.


I have this question for you guys, why do you sell your job slots to Yoruba people. there are jobs meant for the community in the oil and gas but you go ahead selling the jobs to more than 3 people. eventhoug the job may be contract job initially, but most of those jobs were converted to full staff jobs after few years. I think you have sold your birth right long ago.

I got to work with these youths once during my internship with SPDC, and i'll say this: some of them are LAZY BUMS (that's right, I said). Rather than use the rare oppourtunity given to them to build on their technical skills, they preferred to turn up at their duty posts only when the monthly salaries are paid.

Down here in Akwa Ibom, Exxon Mobil is controlled by the Yorubas. Yet you don't see or read about Akwa Ibomites establish blockades in Eket to protest that fact, even though it sucks big time. I totally agree that oil coys MUST consider the idigenes of the host communities/stated first before anyone else. But the youths MUST also be ready to build on the much needed skills.

you are very correct. I know some of jumbo family, I have watched the interview of a prince of opobo, I find it difficult to understand what has happened to the educational decay, massively, to this region. the colonial era people you talked about experienced quality education, and that's is what I'm talking about. I did not say all are the same, of course I've met people from south south that are exceptional,but my issue is that it is very low. it is expected to be very high.

I really love what amaechi has done so far especially in the educational sector of rivers state, the beautiful schools and the rapid development. if peter odili did 10% of what amaechi did by now rivers should have become a little London in Nigeria but what do we have, waste and hatred to the performing governor. a lot need to be done. we need to go back to correct the foundation but unfortunately shell may have left port harcourt before this fundamental decredence would have been addressed. sorry dear.

it baffles me how we allow hatred and tribalism to influence our reasoning. Unemployment is what d entire youth in Nig. has been crying about in recent time. This is not d first protest and wil nt be d last. Some of d youth are not employable, agreed. What happen to those less skills job? Aren,t d locals suppose to benefit from it?

Don't be a dolt. They don't have too go to riverine areas to interview anybody. They advertise vacancies in papers and all online job forums.
If your much vaunted intelligent folks cannot be bothered to apply, write the test, pass and go for the interviews, they've got no reason to complain.

it beats my imagination the lies you people tell to yourselves. Face the facts, the vast majority of the youths in these sort of protests are NOT graduates. And not all graduates must be employed.

Advise your brothers to educate themselves and ensure they are fit for gainful employment in other areas...it must not always be about oil.

$uperior:

The Shell recruitment exams are usually leaked to the children of the high and mighty in the society leaving the graduates from the community to appear they are not able to pass the exams.

This is usually the sentiment expressed by people who are too dull to pass the exams.
Stop trying to blame third parties for your failings.

You made that conclusion, I only said 'the unemployable wants to be gainfully employed', don't be surprised that those employable are in their offices watching, while their idle counterparts are street roaming. So, next time, comprehend before you comment.

There is nothing stupid about the question. The middle class in Abuja is fill with people who earn at least 70k and not 40k. 40k is below middle class and unless u have a wife who is working, u can pay 70k for house

It is the fault of everybody but the youths/community people themselves according to some posters. There is an excuse for every argument. The test questions are leaked, universities don't give admissions, non-indigenes employ only their brothers etc. God dey sha. One day Nigerians will go above all these sentimentality and try to actually improve themselves.

Oga stop lying abeg. What happened to the federal universities in the niger-delta that have the states in the area as their catchment area? What about their state universities?

This attitude of blaming everyone but themselves for their misfortune never really worked and it won't start to work today. They better use their heads and get their priorities straight.
