Wiseandtrue: I hope that you don't complain about: - no electricity - no water - bad schools - strikes by unpaid teachers, doctors, civil servants etc - bad roads - etc which are the results of far too many blacks wanting plenty money without working and paying taxes appropriately. Do you understand? Do you complain? 1 Like 2 Shares |

Bro, it's good you think the situation as abnormal. Just to bring to your notice, recruiters don't like seeing gap on your employment history especially after getting started. Having said that, it's worse if you have an employment period of up to o two years without having tangible projects you were involved in. If I was a recruiter and meet a candidate who was working like you with no concrete project done, some of the few things that would run through my mind include: A) He is not saying the truth of his employment. Either not employed or impersonating someone else B) He was probably one of the redundant employees who's manager didn't deem fit enough to engage him in relevant projects C) He has no vision of what he wants to make of his career on the long run. This is my humble contribution. I hope it helps you make a more informed decision. 1 Like |

Mechanical engineering jobs are not easy to find bt try applying to oil coys or telecoms dey take alot of them. For now keep saving for the rainy day and maybe look into a business plan or investments. Cheers |

If you are a mechanical engineer, and you reside in a city, while don't you consider building a standard auto repair centre as a side business. You have all the time, take lessons and perhaps during vacation or leave , you can travel abroad to seek additional experience. In the interim , use your free time to visit kazeem, join them free and just learn. But don't expose your motive. I believe you will be valuable to kazeem and his company while building your outfit. In few months you will have a side business and that will settle this your quest to be useful to your self. If you are into building construction, replicate same by getting like minds in architecture and building. Set up a partnership and contribute your quota. Smart rookie builders and architects are everywhere in our university and will be more than ready to jump at your offer. You destiny is in your hands, take charge of it and start doing something about it today. Everybody will enjoy you complain , but we all have our individual challenges so nobody want to really help. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Talk2Bella: You have no idea of what you just said. Most big engineering firm make enough money to pay their worker for the next 10 years within the first 6 months of operation. It is the greedy ones that sack people immediately they loose their contract, as an essential staff member you must be retained for some essential equipment and tools. If a vessel is warm stacked for years it would still have minimum safe manning on it. Check out those rigs at Marina Lagos state - ORITSETIMILEYIN and ONOME, they have been there for a long time doing nothing than periodic maintenance and running auxiliary engines but still manned to minimum safe manning requirements. Op the cost of keeping u this while is CAPEX to the company not OPEX. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Naturallyme:Brother, we share same faith here. My boss ones told me that I joined at the odd period; the office was ones a hub of activities. I guess its all about the current style of governance. Projects are no longer coming, and the ongoing few are improperly funded. And also, with the introduction of some new stringent policies, every major contractor would want to secure his own funds before handing down to us (the subcontractors).

Xyzee: In real life, theories are for guidance only. He is seen as a machine now not a staff. He must be serviced and periodic maintenance job must be done on him, monthly. His salary has been earned long time ago by the company, he is just been paid in tads, that is monthly. The company is temporary out of operations, no operational in flow of funds. 2 Likes |

You have an HND and B.eng. You have experienced working before and it's been 6 years if not more. You must be in your forties or late thirties. You most likely have a family. I don't think someone like you need advice from us, what do you want us to tell you that you don't already know? Is it to save? to start looking for alternatives or what? I think you are an attention seeker. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Keep your job and start consulting for other companies. Start your own consulting firm right under their nose. With all the ideas you have been pushign to them. Start with this month when you get your salary get an incorporation 1. Incorporate your new company. 2. Print and design materials like letter head , complimentary cards etc. 3. start hunting for contracts (you will realize its not as easy as you think but then it pays off at the end when people start to knwo you are now running your own business). If possible get a small office and put a secretary there too that may not be doing much and be getting paid salary but make sure salary is as low as minimum wage. So you dont hang yourself). And office should just be a small space desk and and a computer. 12x12ft shouldn't be far from home too for convenience. 4. If you get lucky and things start going well for contracts and bids .. you can quit 2 Likes 1 Share |

vicfy: Buhari has spoilt our country fighting his enemies while pretending to be fighting corruption when he is the grandmaster of corruption himself. The previous administration was robustly engaged in governance while naysayers were shouting corruption. Hopefully eyes don dey clear small small now. 2019 loading....... 1 Like 1 Share |

For so many of our wasted youths out there, this is their dream "job" Less productivity, with so much time to while away, just wake up, bath and go to the office No problems Nothing to worry about as long as the pay is coming in at the end of every month Well, my dear OP I am so happy for your concern because that alone proves that you are a true Engineer Engineers create things So get your tools together and start creating meaningful things that will help you further your career You can equally try to diversify into other areas of human endevour Good luck to you 2 Likes |
