Nigerians are very quick to worship the whites,a very good example is the OP,we tend to feel inferior to the whites...

I have got a job finally!! 
I want to thank God for d miraculous way in which he did it.

Let me tell you all my story. I studied an engineering course in the University, graduate with a 2.1 and  finished my NYSC early  last year. I have submitted countless applications online,(because I had a 2.1 I always get test invitations) & did over 20 tests and interviews but always get the "we will get back to you" feedback.

Out of frustration I took a 35K job offer as a Sales rep in a FMCG company, the MD of the company is very abusive and always hire and fire at will. I did this job for over a year till I got fed up because I couldn't take it anymore.

During the 1year period of working in the FMCG company, I kept updating my skills by learning AutoCAD, PDMS and 2 other engineering softwares from my savings because those trainings are very expensive.

I resigned few months back and relocated to Lagos. Then I continued applying for jobs online and then I compiled a list of almost 200 oil and gas companies in Lagos through google and linkedin contacts, wrote their names, addresses , fone numbers and emails. I sent unsolicited applications together with my CV to all the companies and waited for 2 weeks but yet no positive responses.

Then I changed tactics and started sending text messages & calling the landlines of those companies yet I kept getting the same responses of "we are not employing for now", "the oil industry is in crisis", "We'll get back to you if we need you". 

Then last week I got fed up and started visiting those companies physically to drop hard copies of my CVs and applications. Then within few days, I started getting test & interview invitations, but all are still inconclusive. Then I got a call last week friday to come to an oil servicing company I submitted CV in VI. I went there I was told they are interested in me because of the engineering softwares I said I know and we did the interview and on the spot the told me the job function as a Trainee Engineer, and I was really happy that I will get good experience with the job, but what shocked me the most was when the issue of salary came, they asked what I would collect I wanted to mention that it is in the region of 70-90K so as not to discourage them because we are all aware of the Issues in the Oil & Gas industry and also because the company was a small one with just an ugly bungalow and am sure their staffs are not up to 20,  then I told them am willing to go with their company's structure for entry-level engineers. Then the HR just told me the will start with an amount (over 100K) & that I am to start immediately, and asked if I will take it, I was speechless and just said Yes, because despite the mass sacking in the oil industry & bad economy I still got a good job without any connection or experience in the oil industry. I couldn't hold my joy when I was shown to my work station and work commenced. Pls fellow applicants don't loose hope, keep trusting God and He will do it for us all.

I love your winning spirit,"never take No for an answer,keep trying until you win.Happy for you man.

I really hope she is happy,she doesn't look happy.I hope she wasn't forced into the marriage

0AU and their snail pace way of doing things.. did HND exam last week, nd list is out with my name on it.. now am stock btwn proceeding with admission or waiting for OAU D.E list..

Congrats,now you have more than one option...

angiography:
You actually think the 'secretary to a dean' will post this kinda information on admission on Facebook??


Lol...OAU doesn't operate that way...I beg to say

Exactly my point bro

Pre-marriage anxiety syndrome.Talk to her,pour out your heart to her.Postpone the wedding first and if she doesn't change.Call off the wedding.But if you love her enough,work it out with her,a known devil is better than an angel.My 1kobo advice

Tolexy247:
After the meeting of Deans held
on the 2nd of November, 2015. It
is obvious that the admission list
will be released sooner than we
can imagine. Many of the Deans
complained of over-shooting the stipulated quota given to them
by the school management. Total
of 4,802 names was collated and
endorsed. Over 4, 523 names
were rejected in total by all the
faculties especially from Arts (1,563) and sciences(1,321). The
most affected DE aspirants came
from Public Administration with
only 56 admitted DE aspirants
from over 698 admission seekers.
Many will rejoice and celebrate. You and those that you know
shall also celebrate. That's an update I got from the
Secretary to the Dean I know. She
actually posted it on facebook so I
decided to share with you guys.

The last part of your post got me thinking,how can a secretary to the dean(Confidential Secretary) post such a sensitive information on a social media(facebook)...

Well,from your post,I understand your kind of man,you want a "wife material"! See,you can't eat your cake and have it,everyone has their flaws,most wife materials have those flaws you listed,if you want a woman that you would totally control,they are usually less educated.This decision is yours alone,and yours alone to bear,take it! People would advise you here and wouldn't be in the marriage with you.Make your own life decisions...

muder:
plzzz at minimum for each dept is wat?

I really can't say but its usually very few

muder:
plzzz hw many students per department do they choose

Depending on the department...

I had discovered UBA to be useless,they keep deducting my money.It was my first account as a student.I dumped them already!

ambassadorgozie:
Oui, il est vous attendez ou tu attends


Merci infiniment!

*vous attendez means we/you(formal) are waiting**tu attends means you are waiting** Je vous attends means I am waiting for you*

Her account would be frozen,she would need to reactivate it,by paying reactivation fee with identification that its her account

The Lilian Esoro(Nurse Abigail in the TV series Clinic Matters) is dark in complexion,how did she suddenly become this fair? Her pre-wedding pix was perfect,the make-up artist over did the make-up,I can still barely recognize her,this make-up undermined her beauty,gave her a doll-baby look...I love her though

ambassadorgozie:

Regards


Je vous attendez

Thanks dear

they are resuming for second semester not for the freshers ok.and they do give accommodation for all freshers .,may God help us all for the admission.

Thanks,so when is a new session starting?

Who knows if Direct Entry students would be given accomodation? This one that OAU would resume on Monday and our list is not out yet.

This kind of thing is very rampant in most institutions of learning,happened in my time.It is advisable as a student not to live in hostels,live with indigenes,for security reasons.Perpetrators like that are never caught and this usually repeats itself.

Don't pity them,pity Nigerians that use mtn,pity Nigerians that work with them,most of their staffs are contract staffs...No one is irreplacable,if they go,others will fill their space.kudos to NCC,if not for them,they would have really exploited Nigerians...No one is indispensable if that is your fear.

What problems have you been experiencing, specifically? The things that make it hard for you to thrive in school may also affect you outside school, so you need to identify them and tackle details. Tell us everything that has happened to you so we can give you good advice. Cheers.

Sir,I think this topic is frontpage worthy,could you please move it to frontpage? This guy needs some advice and I feel there are lots of youngsters out there that feel the same way he is feeling right now...

Scaremongering. what do you think anyone cqn do with the emails?

You would soon learn...Mr Desperado!

Those custom officers eh,know a custom boss like that,all his children and children's spouses work with custom,the man has mega hotels and schools in major cities in Nigeria including his home town to mention but a few. Lucky enough for him,he is retired,so he wouldn't need to declare any asset. In all things,there is God o o...

I would advise that people stop posting their emails here for security reasons,don't say you were not warned,this is a public forum,your email should be confidential...

Gold45:
Please, I'll reply more on this later in the day. I am busy now.
Thanks.

Hi ma'am,I am a graduate of foreign languages(B.A(hons)French),took an interest in HR,a student member of Chartered Institute of Personnel Management(CIPM)PE1,hoping to get an internship placement to help harness my skills.I would send you a PM,so I can forward my CV to you.Thanks

As much as igbo men take very good care of their wives,I also share the mentality that they batter their wives,seen a lot of cases.I hate to appear tribalistic however,I am waiting to be proved wrong,I don't understand their culture though...#My opinion

I understand that fat people crave more for food and tend to be quite lazy(not your fault) so advising you to exercise might not be realistic.I can tell you that taking lime and lipton every morning works like magic,please don't take lime undiluted could cause ulcer.Try this and also try fasting 2days a week for starters,you can break at 12 for starters too,while losing weight can help build your spiritual life too,you can even pray about it.May sure that while fasting,be busy with work etc so your mind wouldn't dwell on eating,that would help train your stomach and the craving for food would reduce...

Observing this development,does this mean promotion for some custom officers and massive recruitment for the unemployed youth? I would also advise they do a massive screening exercise for them,some of them are using fake certifications and aren't qualified at all. God bless Nigeria

What if the man used "juju" on his mother-in-law?
