Calm down. While you were earning 5k as your salary during NYSC, there were people who were earning 120,000 per month. It all depends on the field.

I will say it again, I saved 470,000 during NYSC including the money payed by INEC. There are corpers who bought cars after NYSC. Chill bro!

Toks2008:
In my own time i got N1600 allowee plus N3000 monthly salary from lever brothers making a total of about 60k a year....that was 1997.

This thread gives me a nostalgic feeling.

2003... I was just calculating it now and am like.... Whaaaat! Its bn 12 whole years.

I served in one dry, dead, local village in Nasarawa state. We did nothing but sleep and eat. The villagers were so happy and honoured to have us and always gave us food stuff and chickens for free. There was practically nothing to do with our money. I cant even remember what our govt allowee was then. The school where i taught was owned by the catholic church, they paid us nothing cos there was no money to b honest. The pupils were kids of poor fammers. The dint even pay school fees, the school had no uniforms, the priest said they had tried in the past but the parents of the kids culdnt afford it. Pencil and exercise book sef, na war. The whole staff in the school including the headmaster were corpers... . I think i had upto 90k in my account at the end of my service year. Apart from money for toiletries (which we had to travel all the way to Akwanga to get) , The only money i spent was for transportation whenever i travelled out of the village or state. I culdnt wait to leave but i really did enjoy the peaceful and stressfree life of that one year, it was like living in another world after the 4years of hustle and bustle of Uni. Na wa ooo.. OP thanks for taking me through memory lane. its been a while since i reminisced about NYSC days oo. Cheiii i don old oo

gunpoint:
Na, wasn't for me. I left the engrs in my group to continue their "financial engineering"
Left the entire country actually
NEPA light is not my destiny

gunpoint:
Everyone needs the MBA, not just the engrs

adwaani:
hmmmm.....well I am a mechanical engineering student at KNUST,and I can honestly tell you I wouldnt want to do anything other than mechanical engineering. As a mechanical engineer, well a good one for that matter there is no field in engineering or even finance you can't adapt to or be relevant in . plus if you specialise in the right area of mechanical engineering, like maybe thermofluids and energy systems engineering or maybe design and manufacturing, the sky would be your starting point.......please note, you need the hard skills to back the paper though,i know mechanical engineering graduates that can't even prepare a detail engineering on the board or even worse auto cad

Frankly its not even a bloody debate.
And you need to see engrs rising through the ranks in all these banks
Its a trend that can only continue

gunpoint:
Tis sad but thats the reality.
While i was in the industry, i was in a 28man dept, 13 engineers. 3 mechanical engineers(i was one of em), 1 production engr, 1 agric engr, 4 electrical engineers, 1 civil engr, you get the drift?
And only one economist and 4 accountants in the group.
It was not an anomaly, it was a norm in banking. And it went all the way up to the extent my group head a GM was an electrical engr too.
It puzzled me too, but it helped me settle in.
I have left now sha
And oh! Only one maths graduate

gunpoint:
Reason is actually very simple, engineers excel at the tests banks conduct. But i will drop the line with you. If you don't know don't argue. I mentioned the UBA MD, did you check? The current Zenith bank MD, engineer too.
Lots more like that, but you would rather argue

gunpoint:
Engineers actually outnumber any single discipline in banking.
Banks hardly employ "economists", and you will find lots of high level bankers have an engineering background negating your assertion that engineers work on the periphery of banking.
My GM was an engineer, current MD UBA engineer. Lots and lots of examples. How ever, you hardly find maths grads

martineverest:
Insult to mechanical engineering..... Do mathematicians, accountants and statisticians realize that an average mechanical engineer do 80% of their courses?. Get an advanced engineering mathematics textbook and see the degree of statistics that's in it

Mechanical engineering is the broadest and hardest discipline in engineering.

gunpoint:
@op
This isn't a shade at anyone who has posted already, but do not mind people telling you to go with maths, the people who are surprised to hear you studying maths when engineering is available, they are not mad.
As an engineering graduate, i worked in a bank for a while, truth be told, engrs dominate banking, while no other discipline crosses over to engineering. And as far as i know, no you cannot just waltz on a do an msc in engineering with a maths degree.
If you know you can switch, switch yesterday, infact switch last week.
But be mindful of what one other poster said, if you cannot make a 1st class or at worst a 2.1, DO NOT make that switch.
These people are deceiving you kiddo, maths is limited in Nigeria oh

Mind you, all these people talking about moving international, engineering is still a better prospect abroad too. Anywhere in the world, engineering will fetch you a job before maths.
And any tom dick and harry can program

Engrpj:
Abeg help me ask the Jobless people... how on earth can you compare Mechanical Engineering, Mother of Engineering to Mathematics

BREAKING NEWS:
Debunk any rumor that is being passed around that the senate of Obafemi Awolowo University has met and has resolved that the students should resume on the 10th of January.
The earlier scheduled meeting was postponed to the 7th of January due to some discrepancies.
So, we thereby urge our fellow colleagues to stop passing around the news. Thank you.

You know it's quite funny that people are quick to chastise people who masturbate just for the sole reason that it's a form of sexual immorality. A notion that's gotten from the paraphrasing of the transcribed & transliterated words of the holy book.

Now, isn't it better for someone to please himself or herself rather than going out to fornicate and sleep around with others? I mean isn't it still a form of abstinence? Wouldn't you rather let your daughter or sister do that than sleep around with men?

We all see beautiful women everyday and we all fantasize about what we can do to or with them. You see a girl on the street with big baloons hanging out of her chest or a big backside and immediately, you imagine having sex with her. Now, what you have done is no different from someone who masturbates, the only difference is that he is stimulating his genitals.

The sin isn't with the stimulation but it's with the thought, so if I am to go by that, then both sets of people are guilty.

In the case of married couples, you should first bear in mind that people have different libidos. Some people have an unquenchable desire to have sex almost at all times and such people can't always afford to wait for their partners to be in the mood before they have sex, so they favor the act of masturbation. It's better than being unfaithful.

I am not saying this because I masturbate, I actually don't, not because I think it's wrong, but because sex isn't really my proclivity.
