Travel / Re: Confession Of A Nigerian Pilot -“White People Should Manage Airlines In Nigeria” by chessguru1(m): 1:21pm On Oct 12, 2013 |
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. |

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. |

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? |

Education / Re: UNILORIN Engineers Invent Biometric Machine by chessguru1(m): 7:33pm On Oct 07, 2013 |
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?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* 1 Like |

kokosheen: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 3 Likes |

nyt3237: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. |
Education / Re: UNILORIN Engineers Invent Biometric Machine by chessguru1(m): 6:42pm On Oct 07, 2013 |
alcuin: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 3 Likes |

nyt3237: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 |
Education / Re: UNILORIN Engineers Invent Biometric Machine by chessguru1(m): 6:29pm On Oct 07, 2013 |
alcuin:You should revise you understanding of the word "invent". Pls consult a good dictionary and come let's discuss. |
