Am of the opinion that the average african (not black!) Is a poor manager period.
Other societies all around the world have over time developed their own unique management culture. This is the reason why the style and to some extent philosophy of doing business differs from continent to continent.

But in nigeria, and in most parts of the africa we J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ can't manage (organize, etc ).
Most people will blame government, or the economy when a business collapses. I J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ blame the management.
The african society is too riddled with sentiments, superstition, and greed that hamper decision making.
Take a good loo'k at our indigenous companys and see how they treat there workers as opposed to multinational companys.
Here you have mangers that will give the work of 5 people to one person simply because they want to make profit.
Or will owe salaries for months simple because they know there are no jobs out their so must of their workers have no choice.

Erza: I'm a girl

I dont really know where to grade the test. Its not a personality test tho. Its just basic stuff. 25 maths questions, 20 verbal and 10 abstract. pls make sure ur internet connection is strong. it almost efd me up.

When u say verbal, do you mean like comprehension?
Btw 65% should be really good

Erza: just took the test. got 61.82%. dunno weda its ok...

Make sense.
What where the sections involved?
In the numerical aspect, what type of questions did they bring...any profit and loss, etc.
Pls help with details on the other section. Thanks

Interesting

Always used to eat my meat last, until I went to uniport, and met some bad as*s warri boys.
Menh! After the 1st time of chowing with those guys, no be person tell me make I dey eat my meat 1st
Also, I think the concept of eating meat last I is a western thing that comes with eating the sweetest part of the meal ("dessert" last.

Carsonv: I don't think your assertion is correct because I have a 2.1 and I was invited.

@ carsonv, do you have certifications? If so which one?

Hmmm pls who applied for the specialist position. I have a feeling our interview will start after the field engineer selection ends.
(I made the mistake of thinking the specialist position was the same as the field engineering position when applying, didn't know there were two different applications )
Anyway, those of us that applied for field specialist position.....any news?

What about this one I noticed in my 1st week in warri
"Tekewe tekewe! I go match ya head enter ground o!!"
"Or eseroghene! I go tear ya face with slap o"
.
.
.

*A typical conversation btw an Urhobo woman and her son, and least I forget, the child wasn't even up to 5 years old yet*

lington4: Pls friends after submitting the application,did u guys receive mail from BH immediately?I got a message afta applying and told dat my app will be reviewed and will be advised of my status.did u guys get same?

That's the normal response bro

Pls has anyone that applied for specialist position been called for interview?

bigtt76: No Sir! UNILORIN did not 'Invent' Biometric Machine but rather developed a Nigerian version ...obviously from foreign raw materials. Please lets desist from misinterpreting all these things. Are you trying to say that there exist no biometric machines before? Your laptop with finger print swipe entry ...what is it called?

All those finger printing machines installed on door posts ...what are they called? What did INEC use during the last registration process? Or better still FRSC National Drivers licence or Nigerian ePassport are all captured using biometric devices.

At thsi juction, it has become very clear that the word invention holds different meaning to we engineers as opposed to ....the rest of you guys.
Having said that, in a certain NL character's voice
WE GIVE UP!!!
*reminds me of when faculty of science use to beef engineering students back in school, we J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ see things diferently*

kokosheen: The 14 Billion people part gave them away! Rubbish research - This prof. should be washing plates if he doesn't know the population of the world.

Buncha scammers

Is that your problem 14 billion?
Common man. So they got the estimate of the total number of people in the world wrong...and so what. Their estimation has nothing to do with the work they where doing.
Even if there 20 billion or 5 billion, it has no logical relevance to the validity or lack thereof of their claim

adenitemi: You explained it just as it is. Because engineers worldwide go on churning out new technologies, our social sciences and arts peeps don't know the ingenuity that go into those designs. That was an invention, in all sense of the word....

I J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ tire o. Some peeps think that an invention must be something that shakes the planet earth like the wright brothers or Einstein....we invent every single day

nyt3237: An improvement upon a machine or product is called innovation. Value added features on a machine is an innovation. For example u cant say techno invented a mobile phone despite the fact that new features are added daily for their new set of phone. Invention is different from innovation.

So you imply that the cascade LNG cycle wasn't invented becos it wasn't the very 1st LNG cycle created?
Like I said, from an engineering perspective innovation is part of invention, as long as it is original.

alcuin: invent: to make, design, or produce something new for the first time e.g Alexander Bell invented the telephone in 1876

Source: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English 1995 Edition.


How about that?

Thanks....

Hmmm what about this one
An invention is a unique or novel device,
method, composition or process. It may be an
improvement upon a machine or product, or a
new process for creating an object or a result.
ww.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention

Well while I maybe speaking as an engineer, most peeps crying up and down about using the word "invent" are doing so solely from a lame man or purely scientific perspective.
The bone of contention behind the use of the word "invention" revolves around the word "originality".
Has a biometric machine EXACTLY like what was produced been produced before?
Can this innovation or invention be given a patent?
If your answers are NO and yes respectively to both questions, then kick back relax and swallow a big as*s chill pill cos those men have invented a new type of biometric machine.
Its like me inventing a new process of liquefying natural gas.
Did I discover liquefaction of natural gas? Hell NO.
That doesn't stop my new discovery/invention from being "patent-able" signifying its originality.
#rest my case

nyt3237: Innovate should be the right word. Ucant invent whats already in existence. We nigerian just like to overexarggerate things to boost our ego. The design is just an improvement on what is already available . I know its just programming aspect that has been upgraded which they referred to as invent

Boss pls google the word "invent" and see if you won't see innovation as part of its definition.
Do check, am awaiting your response

alcuin: My thought exactly. I was hoping to see some original.

Anyway, congratulation to the engineers. We wish to see more of these, albeit original.

Thanks..

You should revise you understanding of the word "invent".
Pls consult a good dictionary and come let's discuss.

Trendy247: IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES IT IS PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS DAT INVENT SUCH THINGS AND THEY WON'T BOAST ABT IT, WHY CAN'T WE BOAST OF INVENTING SOMETHING BETTER. nO WONDER WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNDER-DEVELOPED COUNTRY.

Sorry sir...who exactly are the "we" in your post?
No sir... The only thing underdeveloped is your brain
