Fear of God or fear of Allah?

The same Allah that expressly instructs them to do what they are doing inside that same book?

TimeManager:
It was a night operation, I don't know what else could change the hearts of this bad boys from wickedness. They don't even have the fear of God, hiding explosives inside Quran.


-Kiss the truth!

I came here to read comments. The first comments sent me to the floor with laughter 😂😂😂

PresidObi:
You mean that someone actually committed suicide because of that overripe paw paw? The only fine thing about the lady is her handbag.

When someone writes such long epistle to explain the massively lopsided Yoruba domination in establishments led by them, you know the logic will be anaemic.

Stop defending the indefensible. You base your argument on claim to "know people who worked at ExxonMobil". I worked there myself. So my info is first hand.

Why are you generalizing the recruitment and career progression in oil and gas companies in Nigeria based on your external perception?
Don't drag She'll into the matter. Shell is the best international oil company in Nigeria in fair recruitment and career progression. I was referring very specifically to the domination at ExxonMobil. Don't use Shell's credibility to polish ExxonMobil image.

I know first hand the atrocities Otunba Oladunni perpetrated at ExxonMobil, right from when they had their HQ at Bookshop House at Broad Street, Lagos. He has a BA in business administration from one obscure college in Nebraska. He had zero technical background in oil and gas. He Joined the company in Personnel Dept as it was then called. From there, he consolidated everything related to Administration under him. It's as Admin Manager he operated and perpetrated his tribal agenda lopsided recruitment and career manipulation.

I'm telling you what I witnessed at ExxonMobil.

I know someone will bring the foolish smartness and hardworking argument. If one ethnic group is so much smarter than others, why can't they replicate the domination at Shell, Chevron and Total where things are run more fairly? ExxonMobil stuck out like a sore thumb principally due to the antics of Solomon Oladunni.

Konquest:
These summations of yours are NOT entirely true but based of off HIGHLY misleading perceptions. I personally know folks who worked at ExxonMobil Lagos and Eket. Folks from different backgrounds and ethnicities were recruited into ExxonMobil Nigeria based on merit. Folks from Akwa Ibom where the oil and gas-rich Eket is located wanted to be employed in senior positions, but to occupy the positions you have to be brilliant in the Engineering and science fields. Hopefully, with more Akwa Ibom folks gravitating to those science fields, there would be more recruitments based on merit, but then again, the oil and gas industry has limited spaces, with the total number of workers in that sector hovering within that 5000 range. So, focus has to also be on promoting other disruptive, globally competitive fields for employment.

Coincidentally, I know a lot about the corporate recruitments in the oil and gas industry including the top international consulting firms and can say without a shadow of doubt that recruitments were based off of merit. A lot of the false accusations that are made that folks of Yoruba descent (who have ALWAYS excelled for decades in the STEM fields such as Engineering and the finance fields such as Accounting. Population also matters as the Yorubas as of now have an estimated population of over 60 million who are indigenous to Nigeria, Benin, Togo, with Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, the UK, Canada, United States, etc, being other major population centers where Yorubas are domiciled doing international business, and other kinds of professions) had taken over the oil and gas jobs are beer palor stories meant to demonize them.

I still have filed away some Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC) in-house magazines or newsletters that show CLEARLY the names of the top staff of that international IOC that worked in the 1990s right into the 2000s and many were from the South East and South of South as well as Yoruba folks as well. These folks from different regions have some of the most brilliant folks in Nigeria and the world who also went on cross-postings.

Diezani-Allison Madueke (now Diezani Agama who is from Bayelsa read Architecture and she worked with SPDC in PH back in the 1990s right into the 2000s). We can recall that the very dynamic and amiable Mr. Edgar Imomoh from Edo State was also the SPDC boss from the 2000s after the very amiable White gentleman who was the big boss left.

It's highly dishonest for anyone who isn't an insider in these multinational firms to say that Yorubas had cornered the industry based on useless beer palor fables over bottles of beer or palm wine, meanwhile the reality isn't so.

Excuse me sir. I have small question 🤏

What happened to the 17 cows including the pregnant ones?

Did you return them to sender or you slaughtered them to feed your guests.

If you slaughtered them, where is my own share of the meat?

Very correct. That is the real reason for the lopsided domination.

Otunba Solomon Oladunni did exactly the same thing at ExxonMobil. The domination starts at the recruitment stage, through development training and foreign assignments, etc.

Oshokhai69:
KPMG Nigeria was run by a gentleman called Kunle Elebute for a very long time. Well over two decades before he retired a couple of years ago. It’s a well known fact in the industry that he mainly hired from a particular tribe during those years.

If most of the staff in an organization are from a particular tribe, it is only natural that the leadership will be dominated by that tribe.

Be calming down. Obi is just eulogizing the departed and recounting their conversation last time they met at an event, which is barely few days ago. What is wrong with that?
Can't you see the pictures they took together at the said event?

When people pass away, the natural thing people all over the world do is recount their last encounter and memories with the departed.

Your Yam Farming Economics 101 seems fantastic.
Let's break it down a bit:

Seedlings - N400 ea
Bush clearing and tilling - free
Labourers for planting - free
Germinating Rate - 100%
Weeding - free
Pesticides - free
Staking - free
Fertiliser - "few tablespoons" (so free)
Payments to Bandits - free
Irrigation - free
Labourers for Harvesting - free
Transportation: farm to market - free
Exhortation by various govt agencies and police on the road - free

TOTAL Cost to plant 600 tuber = ₦400 x 600
= ₦240,000

GROSS SALES = N10,000/tuber x 600 tubers
= ₦6,000,000 or ₦6m

NET PROFIT = ₦5,760,000 !!!

Chai. Ol' boy! What a massive profit margin!!!
And you are wasting your time pounding the streets looking for paid employment.

You should jump into it and cream the huge profit.

Or sell your own for ₦1000 per tuber and still make a huge profit of ₦1000-₦400 = ₦600/tuber

When are you going to start your own farm? The profit margin is fantastic!!

Zwooks:
Thieves. Eveyone wants to use their legitimate businesses to dupe people


Yam seedling costs 400 Naira max. So, why should yams sell so costly ?

A plot can accomodate 600 tubers and would only need some table spoons of NPK fron start till harvest, so why the expensive price. Most Nigerians thesedays heartlessly and indiscrimately increases the orice of their products to take advantage of their fellow human beings. Thieves

OP you are making a mountain out of a molehill. A ratio of 100:86 or 1:1.16 is actually not bad.

This is almost 1:1. I thought you are going to say it is 1:5 or 1:10. Then that would be worth worrying about.

Melagros:
COMRADES, why the opposite is the case in Nigeria?

Can someone please educate me?

They would map the fraudulent coastal highway to pass through the refinery.

By now bulldozers would have started tearing down the refinery tanks and equipment.

Kukutenla:
Zombies are mad
Just a few months back they were praying for Dangote refinery to come online as a solution to their bulaba's economic incompetence.
Fast forward to today, they are against same refinery.
What is underlining their position at all times is a need to defend govt incompetence and corruption.
I'm sure if Dangote was Igbo, they would have labelled him ipob by now

This woman has cast the husband. He will be the object of jokes and ridicule in his compound, village and place of work.

Chai!!! Some women and lack of sense
Why not go and meet the Pastor privately after the program to seek help?

How are you sure the girl was not on top of a long thing while the fight was in progress? She didn't have to wait for the dust to clear.

DeltaBachelor:
Fighting over a girl.. That's the height of stupidity really. I am sure the same girl would be with another man in a heartbeat when this dust clears.... So shameful.

Can students from other regions go and organise protest at University or Ibadan and lock the campus gate, while the bulk of the students who are from Southwest are quietly going to classes or sleeping soundly in their hostels? Use your brain and reason.

premierlead:
It's not only people from that region that are in that school, we have many students from other regions there

They should remove all those barricades, open the campus gates and go back to their stinking hostels to drink garri and endure the hardship like the rest of the zombies who afflicted us with these band of rogues in government.

Most of those students where at the forefront of rigging this government into power.

Elections have consequences. They still have at least 3 more years under ABAT to endure the pain. After him Shettima is eagerly awaiting his turn to loot.

And those students will still be deceived by ethnic scaremongering to rig him in.

Their brain never reset. Landing cost for petrol has just gone up to ₦1100 per litre. Transportation cost and food prices will soon shoot up again.

I have gone to research a bit. That coat of arms and registration on the tail of the plane was never doctored. Show proof that it was doctored.

opamoses1:
It becomes a scam when stock images are being doctored to deceive others. What's the point of adding an imaginary reg number and coat of arms to a stock image?

This is false. I have checked FUHSA @Fuhsa_pioneers Instagram Threads account. That picture was never published in February 2024.

raskymonojendor:
How many times is he going to buy the same jet. Same picture in February.

I was asking about Data Analyst courses & certifications not cybersecurity.

No probs. I've found a few that concentrate on SQL, R, Tableau, Power BI and Python.

chidiakwari:
Data Engineer and Business Analyst are a good filed you might be at a better chance of landing a role.


There are several cyber security training and certification you can take. CompTia Sec, Network, CISA

The level of hate carried by Republican MAGA fanatics is exactly what APC urchins had against GEJ in 2015.

Prof Soyinka gleefully joined in that hate by labelling GEJ "Nebuchadnezzar". He insulted GEJ's wife Patience Jonathan, "hippopotamus", essentially body shaming a an innocent matured mother who did absolutely nothing to him. When Obideints faced him, he called them headless mob. Hatred is always sweet, until your opponents give it back to you woto woto.

When Dems pay them back by labelling Trump as Hitler they started whining and complaining. Claiming the revenge hate made the white boy shoot their god (DJT). They forgot that the same DJT inspired and encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol and trash the nation's symbol of democracy simply because he lost an election.

I shudder to to think of the repercussions if the shooter was a registered Democrat or an Arab immigrant.

raskymonojendor:
How many times is he going to buy the same jet. Same picture in February.

Nobody said the picture that accompanied the story is the picture of the jet. New media all over the world use stock pictures to accompany their story.

Learn this simple fact about journalistic liberties and know peace

Al Jazeera, the propaganda wing of Hamas will never report this news.

Righteousness2:
I am certain the likes of Aljazeera and other terror sympathizers would have been Screaming ISRAEL kills Medical Doctor. ISRAEL kills Innocent Civilian, etc.


What an INNOCENT Civilian/Doctor killed by the IDF.

The skills you listed are essentially Data Analyst / Data Scientist skills.

Indeed I'm beginning to pivot towards these. But it takes time to study and do the certifications and build a portfolio of projects to make impression with Hiring Managers.

What certifications would you recommend for Data? From reviews on YouTube, it seems Google Data Analyst Certification is a non-starter.

Just thought I can leverage my current skills in oil & gas and project management.

chidiakwari:
Do you mind sharing your profile? What’s your are your skills? Do you have any software skills? SQL, PowerBI, Excel, Python etc.

Check New Mexico

You need to pivot outside of Oil and Gas. Get some tech skills and it would be easier for you to land a good role

Like this one's?

Ibibio 1st Lady. The correct word for your post is "Commiserate" not "Commensurate".

ibibiofirstlady:
Dignitaries across the country have been trooping in to commiserate with the former Senate President Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) over the death of their mother.

May her soul rest in peace

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm LPR. Very legal. I'm applying aggressively. I'm on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glasdoor, Rigzone, CareerBuilder, ZipRecruiter, Brunel, etc

I'm even attending Career Fairs outside DFW
I'm open for opportunities outside DFW and North Texas. Will be going for another in June at West Texas (Midland/Odessa).

My background is oil and gas. Outside core oil and gas, I'm open to project engineer type jobs or even non-technical to put food on the table, Lol😂. Will appreciate any links or recommendations. Thanks

Seems things move here faster by referrals and recommendations. Networks of people that know people seems to be key for prime jobs.

Seunblack7070:
Hi, and welcome to Texas. If you have the required documents that can let you work legally in the United States like ur EAD or PR, you can start applying for professional jobs in your field. Go to Google, linkedln, indeed to search. Also, I will suggest you evaluate your result., and maybe take one or two professional exams to give you an edge. You can get cheap classes on udemy especially during their sales, that can prepare you for the exam.

But if you do not have the required documents to work, that's another route entirely.

I'm on practically all the major platforms.
Are there specific ones you could suggest?

shenazhatun:
You should look online to find some jobs, there are many platform which will help you to get good job

If he doesn't have a house outside Kano, that means he has become an automatic Almajiri Emir. Chai this life no balance at all.

Maybe they should allow him to squat in one of those almajiri classrooms at Abuja or Nasarrawa built by President Goodluck Jonathan which has remained abandoned because the Emirs instructed thier people not to attend those schools.

Babangidapikin:
Premium Wahala what if he doesn't have any house outside Kano...The Government should at least provide accommodation in Abuja for him ...
