Hi Guys

@ Kenosky

Thanks for visiting my blog. Just thought i should try some of the writing skills i learnt from this thread.

@ everyone else

Well, The thread may be slowing down, but at least, a post once in a while will do everyone good. I also want to thank everyone that has posted on this thread at one time or the other cos this is where i got the inspiration to start my blog. Its actually a mix of my journey to Bonny and other events in my life. I titled it "My Memoirs". Its supposed to be like a journal/personal diary.

I met Opoks![i][/i] too on the eve of our departure, struck me as a cool dude. Anyways, i wish everyone the very best of life. Please just take a look at yourself and say slowly, " This is the lowest, i can ever be!" Cos that's the truth.

You might also wanna visit my blog and please leave comments o. (lol)

Hi People!!!

Been a while. I hope everyone's ok.

I read through the posts and came up with an idea. I have decided to maintain a blog to give you insider gists of my sojourn on Bonny Island. Well i already have a couple of posts. Please read through and don't leave without dropping a comment. Thanks everyone!!

Hello

Well, i was in your shoes like 3 months ago. I had a job with a very good company but i didn't like my job anymore, so i decided to quit and take lessons in forex trading. I had some accumulated savings on the side and i thought all would be well. i am a Christian, i really prayed about it and made the decision believing God to guide me. After my resignation, i attended forex lessons and was tutored by one of the legendary names when it comes to Forex trading in Nigeria. After a month, i felt that i was good to go, cos i had learnt all the ropes and someone invested $3,000 in me. So i took the plunge and went into forex trading. To be honest, i lost the whole funds in less than 1 month due to the recent credit crunch. I didn't anticipate it. I was ashamed, confused and embarrassed at my failure. I was so sorry, not for myself, but for the person that invested his hard-earned funds in me. I WAS DEVASTATED.

Did i send more money to prove anything? NO. I just sat down and analyzed the situation, the forex guru had been trading for 7 years. 7 good years!!! Nobody told me that. Nobody tells you about their losses. The honest truth is that nobody likes to discuss their losses.

On the other hand, if you sincerely believe that you have all that it takes. I have heard countless stories of people that have been making millions, here in Nigeria, just by trading forex. With all that has been said, if you really believe that this is destiny calling you, then by all means, be my guest. Don't let criticisms keep you from fulfilling purpose. Who knows? you could be the "George Soros" Nigeria has been waiting for.

As for me, well i still trade forex (not commercially though) and God provided another job for me. A better one that is more tuned to my personality and my sense of purpose. That is why i can never rule out God, and i would advise that you do the same.

In retrospect, there were other invaluable lessons during the process. Relationships i formed, perspectives i gained and insights gotten were worth much more than what i expected at the onset. That i believe, was the main purpose of my training,

I wish you all the best.

@ Shostar

I already sent this to you via email, but i decided to post it here for others that may learn from it.

Hurts like hell,

But face it, you get to learn a whole lotta things after the episode. It sorta makes you a better person.

That's if you learn from the experience,

and almondjoy is right, it doesn't have to be male-female relationships,

- I detest LIARS. You don't have to front to impress me.
- Untidy girls.
- Dry, boring and humourless girls, They drive me nuts,
- Some girls can be damn stingy, sheesh!! , I'm not asking you to spend all your money oo! before female NLanders wound me , but coming over with a pack of silk handkerchiefs ain't a bad idea, and it doesn't have to be on my burfdei,
- I hate when girls always run their mouths, , always yapping/nagging like its going outta fashion,
- Insecure, irritable, meen, the list is endless,

Let's just stop here for now, until i raise some more,

any FEB 2nd in the house??

Noticed toyinrayo, lai-lai and one other fellow, (sorry, your id kinda skipped my mind) were born in Feb, Cheers guys!

Hi guys

I kinda need a little help.

I use a Nokia N73 music edition, and i lost my headphones. I've been trying to get a new pair, (original ones), I called the nokia store @ The Palms but they said something about running outta stock, , so i was wondering, Can anyone help me out?

P.S. Sorry if the request sounds kinda lame, but hey, i aint no N-Series buff

@ poster

LOL!!!!

So those guys still exist!!, , I was a culprit like 2 or 3 years ago,

I sensed the scam too late cos i had already paid, it was during a shoddy interview i had with them that it suddenly occurred to me that i was being duped, , i never even bothered to go to the office that i was being referred to.

@ Poster

Don't stress yourself, and please do not pay them a dime.

N.B.

So they have started using aptitude tests, but people, honestly, you gotta hand it to them, , (N1,350 * 1000 people is not small money o, ), Do they still use that crappy office @ Ikeja??

OK People

I just couldn't resist the urge to post,

Trying to analyse the situation

Mr. Rufai

Still in school

Obviously inexperienced
A computer geek, (reduces his chances of being a show-stopper ), except he develops a program and hits it big like Microsoft. , then all the chicks will be around`you cos of your money,

Anyways, if this whole story is true , just sit down, relax and use your head.

"I left the room to get a drink, [s]when I came in she was holding my picture, steering at it with no blinks![/s] I said "hmm, what are you doing?" She replied "Nothing, just that I like the picture." I said no she had enough of my pictures with her, I can't give her this one now."

Guess what thought was in her head." I know the sucker is gonna fall for this, "and sadly, , you have,

My advice,

You don't even need her friendship for now, just blank her, FORGET about her, no need for chit-chat, no need for Hello, na by force, . Focus all your energies on something constructive, and trust me, with time, she'll be nothing more than a fading memory. Is it simple, yes. Easy? No way. You have to be in control of your emotions. That's where maturity begins.

Cheers.

N.B. abeg leave that child in JSS 2, Haba, Mallam Rufai!!! JSS 2 !!! ,

Where are Kenosky, Runsway, Adrianic, annify, Biolabee?

I dey o! How are you guys looking forward to 2008? With high hopes, i guess,

Just wanted to give a big shout out to y'all.

Cheers

Seasons greetings everyone!

Have fun and make the best of every positive opportunity,

God loves you, and so do i.

Cheers

@ seguntx

Well, with 6 yrs work experience in IT, i think you have a shot at it, Although some IT companies may pay you that much, you may stand a better chance heading the IT department of companies in other sectors . Having a static salary package for experienced hires is not so plausible. Your package is based more on your negotiation and your prospective employer's perception.

Regards

Its very possible, The honest truth is that those that earn such sums hardly post here on nairaland. However, this would depend on your work experience and the industry you are interested in.

Moreover, most of the posts (on salaries < or = N1m per annum) you see here are usually for graduates fresh out of the university.

Before you move to Naija, please weigh your options carefully.

Regards

_{Just my 2 cents}.

@ Kuwena

kuwena:


I do wish, though, that I had a job I truly loved; something related to the media; something I could look forward to every morning, not just something to keep because of the money. It was why I hoped very earnestly for NLNG, thinking that[b] with a job in their External Relations Department I would find job satisfaction.[/b] That was not to be.

, "The race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, but the Lord sheweth mercy to whom he pleaseth"_{i hope i got that right}, it seems i got that chance, , can you please send me some tips on strengths i may need to develop for my role, ?my email is aniffy4eva@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks

Hello

Please i have been trying to get info on CIPR. I visited their website and obtained an address (and phone numbers) in Nigeria. Well, when i called the numbers and spoke with someone, i just got this eerie feeling cos the guy sounded quite unprofessional. Just wanted to know if anyone here has information on registration, exams etc.

Thanks

@ Dayokanu

Or, was i mis-informed?

@Biolabee

Point of correction, as stated earlier by Kenosky, non-engineers that are Bonny-bound are scheduled for the plant induction as well, so you are not resuming slightly ahead of "others" , the plant induction is scheduled for guys that have been posted to Production unit which comprises of Engineering, Technology and so on

Bonny-bound folks that are not in Production Unit are not scheduled to attend the plant induction.

@ annamaria

Its a cycle, After rejection, comes anger , after anger comes frustration , after frustration comes depression , I'll advise you to look forward and be positive because you'll be surprised at what God has in store for you. I also suggest that you make more friends and spend time doing things like favours for other people. I think such deeds will help you think less about your hurts.

My heart really goes out to you, but please put a smile on your face cos' you are the greatest.

From what i heard, the new owner has decided to vamoose ,

Don't quote me oo,

@ NLNG peeps

Howdy everyone, I just got a call from one of my referees , he said he received a mail with respect to my NLNG runz.

But i'm a little surprised cos i studied economics,

anyways i'll keep u posted,

@ pgm

I know why you broke your phone, , its called "_{anticipation of too much money}, "

Chat with y'all later

@ indie

Na u sabi o,

Aren't you the same person that was wishing for 1st bank and zenith bank on some other threads, ?

Na wa o!

@ poster

Do you really want to know the truth??

I think males get complacent when they are so sure that their chics really dig them. Its not a crime because how can u really know if he's into you. I bet you that he's probably asking himself if he really likes you. co's i don't think he's soo sure of what he wants, (just a feeling, )

I really dunno what kind of person he is, but why don't you just cut him some slack y'know, spend some more time with your girlfriends and take your mind off him, but let him know that you care, If he likes you, trust me, , he'll come running.

Take care,

@ People
