Thanks to cheap gadgets for forwarding the materials from Sir imag5.

prof e.o.o:
uhm,good points raised,however let me let u kw that even in construction & the other fields u mentioned Geologist are @ the forefront. U can not do any construction without first running a soil test & interpreting,șo as to kw wat kind of foundation to carry out. U also nid to kw d strength of d load etc. As such d Engrs wil be handicap without d Geologist in dis one. U c y both courses & others are complimentary. Nw to d comparison btw a Geophysicist & Geologist,everyone kws Geophysics is only an aspect or branch of Geology. In exploration & processing,u nid Geophysicst without a doubt,but they cannot function without a Geologist. First a geologist wil determine where to sink an appraisal well,d geological interpretation of info from dat well is done by him as well,Geophysics take on from there & later hand over to them 4 d sinking of more wells. They cannot read d structures pattern(faults,domes,etc). Come to think of it,a Geologist can even perform d task of a Geopysicst,cos they dd a bit of such & othe branches of Geology in their studies . . . Why would anyone ♍aƙē d mistake of comparing a Nigeria & say Ebonyi state

Nice points Sir. One last question before I drop my pen lol

Do you sincerely believe the Geologist has a broader spectrum of job prospects than the Electrical Engineer? Both in the Nigerian setting and overall.

ideology: crudedude, Nawaoo, geology has over 60specialties, it doesn't end in oil gas its just because of finance that's makin Nigerian geologist depend on oil, besides Nigeria is not harnessing mining sector well, Oga calm down.

I love the bolded. Now compare that to the prospects of the Electrical engineer.

Thank you Jazz.

imag5: Whatsaap group will be available tmw...will be sharing secret and other stuffs..goodnite

Thanks and goodnight Sir.

I'm touched.

Is the Whatsapp group on?...please someone should kindly forward the materials to my mail frankophyta@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks.

Good evening everyone.

prof e.o.o:
Ï am not here to compare which among Geology and Elec Eng is a better course to study in Nigeria. Obviously both courses are great to study any day no matter how they are taught. But the point Ï'm after is the opportunities opened to one wЂό̲̣̣̣̥
studied them after graduation. Nigeria is packed with âƖōŧ of Elec Engr,with comparatively few qualified Geologist. Small wonder,for some three years nw O&G companies e.g Chevron,Shell & some other servicing companies are demanding the manpower of Geological graduates. No matter how well taught the subject of Geology was in school,these coys wil stil send u 4 a refresher course to channel u to fit into d biz. Șo my friends,Ï like to conclude by saying : OIL MONEY is beta than BLOOD MONEY.

I love your response. but again I ask. On a broader scale of Job prospects which has more options? The Geologist or the Electrical Engineer? If i might add also, the Oil Industry is not the only industry.

Besides more and more schools are now offering Geology and admitting much more students.

The Geologist is most peculiar to Oil and gas industry, and whatever involves the earth. The Electrical Engineer can work in a cement factory, in refineries, in a bank, in space programmes, in power generation/transmission, in construction, in communication and so on and so forth.
Infact, Any place that involves "designing, building, and maintaining structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes." There's a 90% chance there's an Electrical Engineer there.

This you'll agree is way more than what's obtainable for a Geologist. Some are even of the opinion that a Geophysicist has more options than a Geologist.

I know the dream of every Geologist is to be in Oil and gas. But if (God forbid) he's not there, What are his options?.

At the end of the day. Not everybody will work in the Oil and Gas Industry. We can only pray for Gods favour.

I have a question for the professionals just to pacify my curios mind.

In the Oil and Gas industry as a whole from exploration to production plus servicing. Which of the professionals in debate have more slots?

Good morning

FULLTIME!!!

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wheres everyone?

Happy New Year guys. back to our debate

All protocols duly observed please permit one more time to remind us the topic of our debate...

imag5: Pls let debate Electrical engineering VS Geology which is better to study in Nigeria...

Our topic does not seek to downplay or compare the impact of these two set of professionals. Indeed they are both champions in their respective fields. The topic however seeks our opinion on which is better to study in Nigeria. This I believe may be with reference to our current education standard, the job prospects when one graduates and what have you. In my first post I highlighted how broad the job scope of the Electrical engineer is. Though I limited it to the Oil and gas industry alone. We may not need to go into other career fields as this might take us the whole day.

I now go to my second point.

Between Electrical Engineering and Geology which do you think is better taught in our Nigerian universities of today?

In my honest opinion, I will pick electrical engineering. Its no secret that the Nigerian education system is poor at the moment. Ill equipped universities and inadequate staff are but a fragment of the total problem. I still believe even with these scenarios the Electrical engineer is taught better because they have better teaching staff and better laboratories/facilities to learn with. While I may not have facts at this moment to back this claim I will seek to appeal to our reasoning and sense of judgment.

Geology is not taught in class. it is a field study. How equipped are our Universities today to teach geology. How many geology departments have their own buses? how often do they go on field trips? how many have work stations? of those that do have work stations how many of it are functional and in full use?. A few peculiar problems of geology study in Nigeria.

One may argue that the Electrical Engineer has similar problems but lets be sincere to ourselves. In the school you graduated from is the electrical engineering department favoured ahead of the geology department? There is your answer....

I'll stop here for now. Rebuttals anyone?

Now where's that my fried rice

link anyone? Thanks.

Moving on...

According to Wikipedia.org Engineering is is the application of scientific , economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. From the above definition it is obvious how broad the job description of an Engineer is.

The world is evolving. Communication is seamless, faster and of course there is electricity. These my good friends undisputedly are niches of an electrical engineer.

The Geologist is an interpreter. What men stand and do not see he sees sitting down. He can tell his great grandfathers how their environment was before they were born. Yes, the geologist is that good.

But Sirs, who will relay the messages of the geologist across borders? Who will set up that communication system? Who will design more efficient tools for the Geologist to work with? Will he be forever stuck with the hammer and compass? God forbid.

Permit me to take us back to our definition... " in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes . These processes/structures/machines could be in oil exploration and production, geological surveys and the likes.

In essence, there is always something to do for the Electrical Engineer.

My point number two in favour of my stance is a short one and I will throw it in form of a question.

Between Electrical Engineering and Geology which do you think is better taught in our Nigerian universities of today?

imag5: go on plsl...

ideology: crudeguy. e bi like you don forget your points, check Google.

no make me cut mind na

imag5: Good day house...Ezegozie has given us a wake up call....Pls let debate Electrical engineering VS Geology which is better to study in Nigeria... Debate start now,pls I need everybody to be involve in this debate..Result will be announced on Jan1st...imag

Good day Moderators, our incorruptible judge imag5, co debaters, distinguished professionals in the house, students and all Nairalanders. The moniker is crudedude and I'm here to tell us all why Electrical Engineering is a better option at undergraduate study than Geology.

First of all...

Should I go on

tintingz: This are common words among many unintelligent girls when chatting

• Hi - I

• Why - y

• Ok - k or kk

• Fine - 5n

• Alright/Alryt - aii, aiit or aite

• Whatsup - sup

» Any girl that reply you with this kinda shorthand words during chats frequently has a low IQ

This is so true. No better way to put it. I still don't get that "I". A girl once gave me that "I" I then replied with a "J" and she was like "what?". Nonsense

Compliments of the season everyone

I'm cool with the result. If however the organisers feel a change of venue will cut cost and stuff then they may choose to do so. Except we are all cool with paying any amount for registration fee.

Sir Imag what's the topic for this week?

Happy Sunday Everyone

We should have stated our reasons too. PH for make sense sha. Oh well the ogas have spoken.

ignis: Port Hacourt

PH is the best place to use, looking at proximity and cost of organizing.
Also we could easily bring in professionals from the oil company.
