This is pure deceit by the downstream players. The price of refined products refined by Aliko or imported by NNPC is a function of the price of crude. As at today, crude oil brent is at its lowest, selling at $71.62 per barrel, the lowest since this year begun. This is the reason why the price has dropped. No one should be fooled by any ridiculous competition. As soon as OPEC restricts production and crude prices shoots up, we will pay way more for refined PMS. They should quit with the deceit please.

The problem here is the employees and job seekers… stop showing desperation while on interview. Give them conditions as per why you will work for them. Give them reasons and make them understand that you might currently not have a job but you are not going to be overworked and paid peanuts.

Once Nigerians seeking for employment stop appearing desperate and know their worths , no private sector owner will treat you like shits, and also give them clauses that must be respected, if they go against it , it attracts additional charges per hour calculated by the number of days the contract got breached and sign it before accepting the job offer.


Do this and watch how careful your employers treat you. This is something every employee and job seekers must do to negotiate at least the price of one student’s school fees as salary. You can’t be accepting 100k naira as salary whereas students in that school pays above 500k as school fees..

If you must accept 100k a month, just tell them you will be teaching one class only and it will be once a week, maximum of 3hours.

Once you give your employer your power through desperation, even his dog becomes more valuable than you.

I built my self to where I am today, I don’t work for anyone, I told myself after seeing how employers treat their staffs that I won’t work for anyone while I was in Nigeria.

This is apt. However, whoever must follow this advise MUST be extremely adept and competent at his/her profession. He/she must possess skills that are uncommon and not easy to come by. Plus the individual must be flexible and have a fall back plan. I am a structural engineer and I deploy this method in dealing with exploitative employers. The fact however is that I am extremely versatile in my profession with theoretical & practical experience that cuts across an extremely wide variety of the subject matter in which I practice. So i negotiate with employers and not the other way round. After putting close to 19 years of practice in the profession I've understood the games these capitalist play

Great news. AMEC designed the FPSO back then in 2004/2005. Worked closely with some of the key structural engineers who partook on the FPSO topside modules.

What is the answer to this logical question

The answer is 4, but it appears that I am the only person that would solve it a different way without changing the mathematical sign directly as follows;

for the first expression;
9 + 5 = 16, is solved this way
9² - 5² = 56
9 + 5 = 14
(56/14)² = 16


for the second expression;
6² - 3² = 27
6 + 3 = 9
(27/9)² = 9

and then for the unknown question

18 + 16 = ?
18² - 16² = 68
(68/34)² = 4

It should however be noted that this is a long route as the mathematical expression x² - y² = (x -y)(x+y) would break down the method i've put up there to the correct results provided here in

For experienced married men, it is well known that ladies will/may upset you at the wrongest of time. The extent and nature of the dramatic scene she may create including its length will depend on the temperament, maturity and psycological make up of the lady. However, no matter what, there should be NO REASON for a man to hit his wife. It takes the greatest levels of emotional intelligent, self-maturity and restraint to conduct oneself when faced with a cantankerous and vituperative woman.

Really and you say u where born in Ago. I'm sure you part of the new entries into Ago. I'm sure u didn't even know when Ago was Ago jagaja, the period of faseun, opc, Ago no light, when century was last bus stop then. When the dams was the main show, fans then kj came in. I'm sure u never heard of them faki, Ade etc. Isolo maybe Apata or ajumoni all those complex schools. My brother I be old school Ago boy we started Ago and left.

Very correct sir.
Way back into 1998 - 97 during buba marwa's regime. The road on ago palace way was also so horrible and century was truly the last bus stop. Most of the streets beyond century were bushes and swamps filled with alligators and snakes.

The word Westerners, refers to people in Europe. When i first read the sentence i thought you were refering to Europeans or Americans. .
Naija own na Wasterners. Lol.

Westerners do not refer to the people residing in the whole of Europe per se as Russians and belarussians ,though Europeans, are not Westerners. The word originally referred to those residing in the western hemisphere of the world such as the U.S and Canadian citizens as well as those in Western Europe such as Italians, the French, etc by contrast, Romanians, slovanians, etc are no westerners even though they are Europeans.

Africans talk too much irritatingly so, write too much grammar, raise the shoulders of grossly incompetent leaders and do little or nothing afterwards. While at it, the nominal GDP of the whole of Africa combined, is less than the GDP of India alone. To put this concern in the right perspective, the United kingdom with only about 65million inhabitants is more productive than the whole of Africa with Over 1.4billion persons as the closing nominal GDP of the U.K in 2023 is about $3.168trillion while that of the whole of Africa combined hovers around $3.1trillion dollars at the end of 2023. With just about 9.7million people (lesser than the population of Lagos state), israel has a nominal gdp of $564billion(2023 est.), which is greater than that of Nigeria as a whole. But here we are speaking grammar and eulogizing a leader who may not even be able to use a spreasheet to tabulate and sum up his weekly expenses. We have an extreme fundamental problem at our doorstep and until people start thinking, electing vision-filled and patriotic technocrats as leaders we will continue to be the pithell of the entire globe!!

The fraud that went on during Godwin's reign at the apex bank is the same fraud going on now. Reading through the news writeup it is clear that Buhari didn't know what was going on in his government due to lack of inherent skill, capacity and eagle eye to review, finer details, documents that came across for his endorsement. The same fraud is currently going on in this government. It will take a disciplined, younger and patriotic technocrat to stir the ship of affairs of this country in order to reduce these kinds of graft. These older politicians who do not even possess the requisite basic IT skills and/or diversified knowledge to review and take decisive decisions based on personal research on the subject matter on his desk, before even consulting aides, have been at the helm of affairs in the last 16 years and have contributed to the destruction of our economy via the direct or indirect enabling of graft due to their gross ineptitude!! If the current chap manning the affairs of the interior ministry, for e.g, was the president, I doubt some of these would have happened, if he is a patriotic and detriblised citizen.

A state with most roads riddled with deep potholes on majority of its asphalt pavements and bridges, yet the people keep mum and applaud an open display of gross mediocrity from an administrator whose state rakes in billions of Naira monthly in internally generated revenue. From NNPC ikoyi, to lekki epe expressway, Law school Ozumba mbadiwe, third mainland bridge and several other major roads across the metropolis, its potholes here and there while this man sits tight and do absolutely nothing about it!! What a shame!! The way Africans cheer their oppressors openly is grossly bizarre and continues to beat my imagination..

Botswana is less than 3 million people, and is what Nigeria would be if our population was 5 million instead of the 230 million people.

Botswana's main export is diamonds. It is the seventh largest exporter of diamods, and it has just 2.9 million people. That's why it can afford good looking roads and streets.

Nigeria? We can't because our populaiton is too huge to rely on one single export, and that is if we used the money rightly. Countries like Nigeria that have a large population size and are prosperous also rely heavily on exporting manufactured goods and services, and taxable income. A multiplicity of money streams if you will.

If Botswana were to grow to 200 million people, and still rely on diamonds...it would be as bad as Nigeria.

Alora, Gabon is a 2.4million populated country and remains a gross underdeveloped nation due to crass corruption and greed. As someone mentioned, black Africans are somewhat genetically cursed from the inception of mankind

*Make him go ask Hitler how he ended.*
Them say, “if one person cook for public then go finish the food, but if the public cook for one person, him no go finish the food.”

Hello,
With reference to the asterisked information, I guess you are unaware that Hitler was also stopped by the Soviets. In May 1945, the Soviet Red Army barreled into Berlin and captured the city, this was the final step in defeating the Third Reich and ending World War II in Europe

Not much of a big deal.
Eminem has about 38.8million followers on Instagram and interestingly follows NOBODY!!

The court sentenced him to two years imprisonment on count 34 with an option of a fine of N500,000.

This is the reason why corruption will never and in Nigeria.

Hello,
The accused was convicted and given an option of 500,000 naira fine on counts 35 to 59 which equals 25 counts including an option of 500k fine on count 34. This implies that the convict is to pay a total of 500*26 = 13m if he is to be left off the hook and not 500k as assumed.

With this episode, one can only imagine how power drunk Bola's wife would be, if they are elected into office as previous experiences had shown how arrogant she could be.

Hello,
On the contrary, there are extreme and enormous potentials for engineers generally in this country and civil engineers, in specific. As a practicing structural engineer in close to two decades with extreme competence in finite difference methods of analysis, finite element methods, application of laplace transformation to the analysis and design of dynamic equipment structures/foundations, etcetera I can confidently inform you that in a developing society like ours and elsewhere abroad, there's a huge demand for structural engineers (for e.g) in industries such as the oil and gas, power plant, telecommunications, etc. These are people who design lattice tower structures, monopole structures, girder bridges, high rise building structures, fixed jacket offshore structures, pile foundations, combined footings, raft foundation, floating and fixed jetties etc. However, to fit in, you must be quite COMPETENT in engineering analysis and design (note that those persons you mentioned in factories are technicians and NOT engineers), both manually, with the use of SELF-CREATED intelligent spreadsheets and with the use of INTERNATIONALLY-ACCEPTABLE computer aided design applications such as STAADPro, SAP2000, SACS and ETAB (not ORION) together with detailing applications such as AUTOCAD, PDMS, E3D.
Additionally, you should be competent in internationally acceptable codes of practice such as the Eurocodes (EC0-9), AISC, API, DNV, and relevant yet-to-be-wiithdrawn BS codes. The problem(s) with the Nigerian universities is that you are taught the solution of homogeneous/non-homogeneous second order differential equations either by classical methods or special operator methods without being taught its largely used applications in engineering design such as its application is structural free damped vibration of rigid bodies, forced-damped vibration via externally applied forcing functions, application in the description of ground acceleration due to seismic motions, its application in the theory of thin plates and shells like analysis of thin-walled pressurized vessels, fracture mechanics failure theories like huber-hencky-von-misces theroy, etc Engineering is applied mathematics, is sweet and once you do not know its application and cannot deploy the right tools in engineering design, you would obviously be found floating either in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.
Finally note that the world is in deep demand of those who study and are COMPETENT in STEM-related courses and the 'E' in STEM is obviously Engineering.

You're welcome ma. I'm just seeing this.

Honestly, no right thinking president would opt a Tinubu... what is there to opt from? What are the qualities you are picking out?.. he only controls the vocal minions, he does not even control the SW..

- Age is not right..
- Method of leadership is dictatorial..
- Family and lackeys nepotism..
- lack of tolerance for opposition.. what really?

Verdict: its either the northern candidates are stepping down to form a consensus on Lawan or they are push their luck on Amaechi.. The reason is "how do you expect someone who claimed to make you before power, respect or serve you with power"... its almost impossible.


Vote right, vote labour, vote Peter Obi...

He is also seen to be EXTREMELY corrupt. You forgot to add this key point

Osibanjo is part of this government that has failed Nigerians and brought the country to its knees. If he had integrity, he should have resigned his position just as Okonjo Iweala did during the time of Obasanjo. I respect that Lady a lot. Nigerians keep celebrating those who torment and keep them in bondage. Its a shame. Of all the contestants, the only reasonable fellow who is passionate about revamping the country's economy on the right path and trajectory is Peter Obi. The rest are just greedy and cunny folks who are just after their pockets, power or a combination of both.

drlateef:
The man who presided over the poverty in NIGERIA right now, and people come out to see him at all? Nigerians are the most docile to rule over.

Very true. With all the sufferings and mal-administration which is the hallmark of this cruel administration in which this man is part of, its a shame seeing those who are continuously tortured, coming out to cheer a man who is part of their problems rather than rebuking the same fellow who has failed to resign if he claimed to have any modicum of integrity. A man who sat tight while herdsmen maimed his country men, the economy plummeted, killings here and there, elevated levels of corruption, etc is not one to be waved at, but one to be scorned and rebuked. The man is cunnym loves power and lacks integrity. Africans have a long way to go. In the house of commons, a parliamentarian was accused of watching pornography in the chamber and the fellow owned up and resigned. That's integrity!! and the British MP may not even be a christian, how much more a so-called pastor!!

BrickDevo:
Mere increase of food and feul prices, people over there are already protesting, but here in Nigeria, the cost of living have become unbearable and increasing even more still nothing is done, a country of more than 170 million people can't do nothing. Nigerians are fools.
How can a country with these much population be led by a fool, and if another fool will lead Nigerians again, then it simply means that Nigerians are destined to be fools and stupid. After all this years of constant suffering and backwardness.... Smh

Real talk brother.. These people speak up against injustice and mal-administration while Nigerians hail and cheer at their oppressors. What a shame.

Russia didn't have the need to dispose of it's arsenal at that point in history...

They have the Tsar bomb which is 1.7 times great than Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear blast and yeald combined together...

Read about the Zircon missiles too...

#Peace..

Hi, The Tsar Bomba tested by the Soviet Union in 1961 deposited a dangerous minimum yield of about 50000kT of Trinitrotuolene. Videos of these tests have been declassified by the Russians. Those used by the United States on Hiroshima had a yield of about 13kT of Trinitrotuolene. Thus, making the russian bomb about 3846 times as powerful as those dropped by the Americans on Hiroshima and not 1.7 times as u supposed. It is also on record that the Tsar bomba created by the Russians is the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested by mankind till date!

Eminem & Dr. Dre did, 50 Cent was only used as a pawn in the game.

Very correct. Shady did this with tracks like Go to sleep b**ch (Eminem feat DMX & Obie trice),Sh** hits the fan on Obie trice's cheers, Bully from eminem (also directed at Ray Benzino), Hailie's Revenge (feat Obie trice & D12), hail mary (Eminem feat busta rhymes), D12's leave that boy alone (from D12 world) ,Outro (Obietrice, feat D12), Patiently waiting (Eminem and Fifity), D12 Git up (on D12 world), etc Rap music was lovely and filled with so much poetry, similies, wordplay and all instruments of literature in the days of Eminem,D12, O'trice, Dre, etc... I missed that era frankly

Your comment got me crying... My husband too is not having it funny financially, i worry and feel for him sometimes. I guess this is our rough time, i don't have a choice but to do my part as a wife and mother even though it's telling on me. It's just a phase that will pass.

For the sex, that's the least of my problems right now. If he's getting it outside, i don't know o.

It's Christmas, yet nothing dey for children because we are saving for rent and school fees.

Bro, no be everybody wan begin reason their matter for people o. Sometimes i weep at night, crying to God for a change.

Regarding hubby's financial story, the matter na for another day

Madam, I've quietly read some of your write-ups. If you are genuine and not an online fraud, send me a message privately let me see how I can assist with a token.

Me too. Most times when people hail WizKid and co, I just keep quiet, so I won't be regarded as "bad belle". And not just Nigerian music, even those coming from US, most of them are shitty.

You just spoke my mind... One can't compare the content of what one listens to, to those of the 90s like Nas's Ilmatic, Fugees, WyClef's Ecleftic, Marshall marters LP, The eminem show, Dr dre, etc Rich lyrics, brilliant use and display of poetry, similies,.metaphors, etc as well as excellent story telling, all combined with great beats...

Boss,I'm a Civil Engineer,I have experience in the supervision of building construction jobs but I can still learn a lot from you.Can I get your contact,If you are pleased with me working with you.this is mine,08062150515.

Kindly visit

firstly and let me know if you are interested.

Hello, Civil engineering is a diversified profession with specialities such as structural engineering, transportation/highway engineering, geotechnics, water resources/environmental engineering & civil engineering materials.
Typically, at this stage of your development, you should have developed a passion in one or more of these fields of specializations which you intend to practice. If I am to take structural engineering as an example, your best approach is to seek for a consulting firm either in the infrastructural/building industry or the hydrocarbon/petrochemical industry where you will be exposed to civil engineering designs of various types of structures on diversified projects such as quay walls and anchor ties, slope stabilisation structures, high-medium rise structures, steel structures such as portal framed shelters, telecommunication masts, pipe racks, cable tray supports, etc. You will be exposed to the competent use of spreassheets and FE analysis software packages in the analysis and design of steel and RC Structures such as staadpro, sacs and etab in addtion to enhanced detailing with autocad. With this you will be building engineering capacity and learning from professionals, the intricacies and rudiments of structural engineering which you can leverage on, to handle jobs on your own by the side and make money as a professional. On the other hand, construction engineering is saturated, very competitive and is a space occupied by all sort of players such as architects, builders, etc Even masons approach potential clients and parade themselves as engrs on minor projects such as a two storey structure (single suspended floor, in good terrain without a complex foundation beyond their comprehension), and these clients do not know the distinction between these professionals. But if you are a civil engineer who is skilled in design of offshore steel structures for production fixed-jacket platforms to API/AISC codes of practice, loadout analysis and design, sea-transportation analysis and design, steel portal frame structures for shelters, filling stations' design, mooring analysis and design of breast and mooring dolphins at container loading bays, structural design of churches, steel trusses, design of shopping malls, etc you separate your self from non-professionals and make very good money as a civil engineer.
So in summary, apply to engineering consulting firms as a trainee, there are a number of them. Be diligent and learn the core principles of structural design to the relevant codes of practice ( BS codes, EuroCodes, etc), you learn how to detail the structures, prepare design reports, site visit reports, material take offs and bill of quantities, etc and gradually, you'll be working your way up to becoming a professional engineer.
