xtimate for the project nearest zeros ??

nairalanda1:
Actually we don't.

( It's a fact)

You think? a flat in teh Uk will cost average of 400 pounds of Energy Bills i n a month for 24 hrs of Energy monthly even cook with it.
that's is less than 800K in Nigeria
In Nigeria we ger merely 15% of electricity and you get charged N30, now jump to Gas.
If I power my house 24/7 with diesel generator I will spend 300K plus for just a week

nairalanda1:
And then your bills will go up to market standard.

Because those guys will be there to make return on investment. And Dem no go gree come unless the Nigerian government allows them.set the price of power and by extension make profits.

No more band a, b and c. Instead una go pay over 200 per kWh wherever you dey.

We pay more in Electricity than the west for what we get, same as m obile phone,If we have 24/7 power as things stand your electric bill with shoot up to 250k plus a month, so we can afford it as per what we p ay now!

Good. No bank will Guarantee them as they can not fulfil the requirements of the bank in the first place cos their Biz module is based on cheating the customers, No light but you collect bills.

Goodvibes007:
Big lie like the gbajue agulu fruad. Only Lagos and Benin are paying anything close to that in the federation.

Whereas Obidients favourite - Otti still is refusing to pay common 30k. All he can afford is 18-20k

Plz what state is called Benin?

This attack isn't necessary actually.
You could have ignored.

I dont think you understand this section of Nairaland,Here millions of Naira change hands daily, its for the very matured persons, People livelihood depend o n these thread, its a bridge between Builders merchant's and client both in Nigeria and Diasporans, so please we could help the fellow on Business thread.

rock86:
Thank you for your response about Qatar airways . It’s unfortunate that I was banned in Travels for calling out a bully, while the bullies likely went unpunished.

Moving on, I have a few questions about flying with Qatar Airways:

1. Luggage: I saw that the luggage allowance is 23kg times 2. Do they accept the Ghana must go bag? Also, is there an allowance for a school bag and a cabin bag? Any restrictions?

2. Logistics : My trust sent me a link to download my e-ticket, which I’ve printed. I assume I need to bring this with me. Since I have a lot of luggage, I plan to request a trolley once the Uber drops me off. How will I know where to go inside the airport? I want to avoid any confusion that might cause me to miss my flight or connecting flight.

4. Doha Stopover: My layover in Doha is 2 hours and 40 minutes. I’ve heard the airport is quite large, so I guess I’ll need to ask for directions to ensure I get to my next gate on time.

5. Precautions: What precautions should I take to avoid harassment or bullying by airport staff? I’m concerned about having a smooth experience.

I apologize for the many questions, I may have more questions as I prepare for my trip, kindly indulge me

No problem Im at wrk at the moment I shall respond to each of your question when I get home tonight.

rock86:
Who has flown Qatar airways, what should I be preparing for please?
I will appreciate inputs, there's a layover in Doha, hope transit visa is not required?

I have, it was a pleasant journey, flight very nice, at the airport you will be going fru check in and check out by English speaking Sudanese mainly who have almost zero in customer service(this is subject to your tolerance)Be careful not to buy alcohol on your carry on luggage for any transit fru their airport. Be carful not to get carried away ias its a massive Airport. I learnt my lesson in Turkey and missed my connecting flight!

Answer all questions from a behavioural perspective.
The questions will be along the lines of; Give us an example of when you have …. Or the team/ the role does …. Give an example of

Your responses should follow the STARR format
Situation – This was happening, we had a project, my employer needed…
Task – The team was asked to…I was the project manager and part of my remit was to…
Action – I took these steps (lay out the steps, who you worked with, who you collaborated with) What, Where, How and What. Tools you used, skills you utilised (link to job and person spec)
Result – Use numbers, facts, figures, data (impact to the team, org and project
Reflection – What would you do differently next time? Why – Link to impact on team, org and project

Use ‘I’ statements rather than we or the team.

Find the Trust values and objectives (will be on their website) and work them into your Action/Result/Reflection responses.

Emphasise collaboration, seeking and providing guidance/ direction, taking initiative, requestion and taking onboard feedback from stakeholders.

Band 6 is the first rung of leadership in the NHS so have that in mind when planning your responses – how you show leadership. Think of leadership styles (collaborative being the best)

Read up on the NHS People Plan as well. Aim to spend about 5-6 minutes on each question. You’ll get between 6 and 9 questions. Do some rehearsals so your responses flow well.

Take time to think through your responses. Make and take notes with you.

I always ask for the questions to be printed out and handed to me for a face-to-face interview so ask. It helps to remind me of the points I need to hit. I now as a rule print out interview questions for all applicants when we interview.

Good luck and go smash it!

Well placed, response and statement, good luck to applicant!

Please guys, due to budget constraint, which Wall Screeding should be prioritized: Interior or External wall?

And please, what is the current price range per square meter (material + labour) for Exterior Screeding and Interior Screeding?

Thanks.

Truvelisback:
Good day, fellas. How many of us used this stuff? The shock wey this thing give me ehn!

Nah we that year

Gajagojo:
You are a pauper
Weak boy
You are afraid of poverty
Weak and insecure
Talking ignorantly
Dangote refinery is the topic

yes you are right that I am afraid of poverty hence I'm where I'm at
Ans no we left that topic when You called me a pauper
the new topic is HOW the COST OF ONE OF MY TYRES CAN FWWD YOU FOR A MONTH
dicks for brains

Gajagojo:
You are brainless
I do not believe you have a tyre not to talk of spare tyre
You go explain tire about tyre
No evidence
A rich man will never be pained if he is called. POOR
YOU are showing all the symptoms of poverty
Talking about your car and who you can feed= WEAK

Do not charge the subject
Weak manwith weak ego. Pauper

This thread is about Dangote refinery
You are clueless and your contribution was totally ignorant and devoid of sense

That you feel you need to prove you are not a pauper is weakness
Dem say you no clean yansh when you shit you begin show people to confirm say you clean
How many people you want show?

Mumu

Just accept it.U was owned,dumb asss

Gajagojo:
You go explain tire no evidence
You are a pauper
That is what I called
You
You have not put anyone anywhere
Just revealed
Your insecurity around poverty
You are a pauper
That is worse than a poor man
So coming online to claim you have a range Rover
Is a sign of weakness


The more you talk about what you have or imagine you have the more stupid you sound
Any idiot can claim online to own a private jet

This thread is about Dangote refinery, not about you and your Imaginary wealth
You are displaying the obstinacy of a pauper

No the point is you thinking you got something better to say rather than trying to put a man down when you aint shyte acting like alil kid throwing dem dummy outta dem prawn, You probably thought I was one of them man who you can run down. Look I say this a million times you aint shiit.I know you find it hard to believe but i will say it again, my one tyre will feed you in one month, thats if you can even afford to consume 500K worth of food in one month Dickk head!

bigtt76:
Experience here are of two types - competence based and behavioural (work culture fit). Your Nigerian experience can pass through for the competence based experience if you know your onions well, while your experience with agencies here can easily pass through for behavioural experience. Just list all to cover the last 5 years. If they people here are so bent on dignity in labour, who are we to not list our agency shift experiences?

it depends on the field you are talking about, I can talk on my field Engineering. Nigerians do not have a good record for Health and safety unless you work in one of the multi nationals.
i think you miss the point when I say experience. When I said that I mean some companies will specifically state that they need UK experience that way your experience even from mars do not count. A carpenter from Nigeria will not have same experience as a carpenter in the Uk ,Same as an Electrician from Nigeria wont have same experience of the electrician in the US. Then move to social workers. we do not have same vices in the Uk as the ones in Nigeria.

Futuristica:
Yes I get.but man need to position self for higher stuff

You got to start at the base of the mountain b4 you hit the summit!If you rush in you crash out. The only way to start at the top is if you are self employed!

Gajagojo:
You are poor and weak
Feed your family let me feed mine

I do not have a car
I do not have a wrist watch and I do not have a smart phone
You will be poorer than me till the day you die
I know you feel poor in your spirit and that is why you are talking nonsense
Small people want to be on the agenda
We are not here to talk about you
You are an irrelevance
The issue is Dangote buying crude from abroad
My point is you should shut up
You are clueless

sgut the fuvck up, accept that you got put i n your place
you started by calling me a poor man without even knowing me and thought I was joking when I said one of my tyres will feed you for a whole month
You have the nack for insulting people
this is what you do fru out ur postings hence you got multiple ID on here
leak you wounds and move on wee boy, Slippers get size.
and 4 the last time foxtrot oscar!

Gajagojo:
You are poor
Empty barrels make too much noise
I don't have a car
Not to talk of Range Rover hope that makes you feel important
It is poverty of the spirit driving your careless and foolish statements

https://www.nairaland.com/3241253/conversion-rhd-lhd-2012-range

I know you thought I was joking when I said my tyre will feed your house for a month unless you spend more than 500K a month on food,
This is a lesson for you, don't call people poor just cos they don't agree with you broke mentality now you know your place foxtrot Oscar

Gajagojo:
You see you lack brain power if your spare tyre can buy enough food to feed a man for one month that means it will feed you and any other ordinary may
So what is your point ?
You want to tell us you have a car?

You have paupers obstinacy what Yoruba call Agidi Talika it is not about whatyou possess but what you don't =common sense

You clearly have no clue and continue to argue foolishly and stubbornly

You are right I do not have 5 MILLION Iin my account? Why should I I am not stupid

It's the other way round. I owe the bank
always
the bank never has my money
Rather banks let me use the money of dullard like you who keep their money in banks
You talk and reason like a poor man with very limited exposure

yes my spare tyre will actually feed you and your family for one month, reason is cos it cost N500k the tyre is made in the Uk and sold for 300 pounds for one cos its 22 Inch Range rover tyre. the 22 rime is range rover diamond cut alloy. These are worth more than 500k naira, so when I say my spare tyre will feed you in a month I aint joking.

rock86:
Really. I didn't know.
I'm anxious.
How about taking medications like pain killers, antibiotics, supplements and malaria medicines. Do I need to declare them and get doctors prescription?

Over the counter medication is Ok, however if it serious meds get prescription ohh to avoid stories that touch. They don't search for those though if put in your checked in luggage, but make small shyte nor spoil things you know what I mean. Certain Pain killers are banned and prohibited in the Uk and in Nigeria like codeine.

Gajagojo:
Paupers are very stubborn

ahaha people wey the spare tyre of my car go feed for onemonth dey call me Pauper nah wahh,This life no balance at all,small money you get now You dey call me pauper,If U come be Dangote, we no go drink water put cup down,Bross be Humble.I have met great men from Nairaland from Uk,US and as far in Brazil to china.These people nor dey make noise,If dem turn U upside down now N5million nor dey your account U dey here dey rake

Gajagojo:
You cannot explain the price of garri today
You go to the market You negotiate and you buy
That is the price. Not explanation
You do not know what type of crude Dangote bought
You do not know the price he paid. If you know tell us
Facts not explanation
You do not know the price Nigerian oil sold for the same delivery date
You do not know whether Dangote bought spot or futures and you don't even know what those terms mean
Instead you are arguing with the obstinacy of a pauper on what you are so clearly ignorant of

Exactly as I thought small talks no brain, typical Nigerian with tombo bar talk plz foxtrot Oscar

Gboss247:
Comparative advantage is has become rocket science in Nigeria.

I thin you just hear this grammar the 1st time E dey sweet you!

Teymanhenry:
Are you aware that Dangote is complaining that Nigeria and it's marketers have refused to sell him crude oil that they prefer exporting to foreign buyers?

Reason is simple, they can manipulate the figures when it goes to international coys.

Gboss247:
All those factors you are irrelevant, because what is considered in international trade is comparative advantage.

Bross i am a flued Engineer by profession in the Uk,I facilitate the comprehensive flow of any fluid on shore and offshore in the Uk upstream and down stream sector. I am not new to this topic, I have at least 17 years on this.
. How does Dangote buying Oil from the USA gives him that advantage? producing crude in Nigeria is very expensive yet in the open market it is sold at same price as of those where Oil is easily and cheaply produce. Oil trade is global and sold at the Brent crude bench mark. Won't it have been more rewarding saying the USA is at gain here? Meaning the advantage is with the USA not the Nigerian buyer??

StormpyBee:
I don't understand this news.

How can a company, located in an oil producing country be importing oil. There's something wrong with this country. Its apparently say, na we the do ourselves. Chi!

What a shame of a nation!

NNPC is a big fraud!

I am ashamed!

check where the news came from and its source.

IrepChrist:
The united states is not an oil rich country. Most of all thier reserves were purchased from oil producing nations. And your darling Nigeria use to be one of them. Today they have enough oil that could last them 200years. That is a country with vision. Whilst buying from us, we squandered the money. Now they have more than enough to sell back to us and make profits.

This is street talk, Dem say talk.The USA is the larges oil producer in the whole world.36 states in the USA produce oil,you can imagine how vast that is.in 2023 the USA produced 21.9 million Barrels of oil
Saudi is number two and Russia is number three then canada followed by China the iran with brazil at number seve, even the UAE is number 8 with 4.6million barresl.

Gajagojo:
You are talking rubbish without facts
A thing is cheaper or not is not about explanation

It is about facts How much is it it in the market that is the price. The price is a fact it is not an explanation

Crude oil prices change every day just like exchange rate and if you want to secure a price you buy what is called a futures contract.
That is the way the market operates it cannot change because of Dangote

You sell a December delivery today at $100 and when December comes it could be $90 or $130

So refiners have to take a risk and commit to a futures contract or hope there will be unsold product at short notice
Do you know how much Dangote is paying without facts you are just talking


You know a little and half knowledge is worse and more dangerous than no knowledge
The boys in the creek refining crude has nothing to do with low sulphur or cheaper to refine
If Nigerian oil was the highest in sulphur continent any where on earth would that stop them? Are they buying the crude? Please try to be logical


Sulphur is not the only thing that makes Nigerian oild the highest quality and you have no data on the sulphur content of the crude Dangote is buying

Cost of refining depends on so many factors

Dangote refinery is set up to refine all types of crude
Not all refineries can do that
The fact that he invested so much to set up his infrastructure that way tells you he was not planning on being reliant on Nigerian crude
The location of the refinery by the sea confirms that

he set up so he can receive crude BY TANKER from the sea

Not BY PIPELINE from the Delta

So amongst the gibberish you wrote up there how does any of your ill points cross out what I have written, so in your multitude of what you called knowledge common sense did not tell you that when you remove Import and export taxes/duties its cheaper to buy same Crude from Nigeria. Besides Bony sweet the other option for Dangote to distillate is Brent which is cheaper. The USA produce same kind of crude Nigeria produce so it would be same cost to distil either US or Nigerian crude.
The Point I was trying to make b4 you came with your cockiness and arrogance is simple. It would have been cost effective for Dangote to buy Bony Light than to go to US to buy the same light. The difference here is[b] Logistic cost[/b] key word Logistic cost. The cost of barrel is the same but cost to bring it to Nigeria Dissipates any gains compared to if he got it from the Delta as he wont be importing it.
I did say I will keep some terms you might not understand you delve into Sulphur. Now you sound xtreemly silly and naïve to think Dangote refinery was set up to refine all grades of crude, someone who cannot even boost of producing Euro 6 Diesel as we speak Now let me school you a bitThe four primary types of oil areGroup) are as follows, I know you will argue as you have no clue.
(1 The Very Light Oils / Light Distillates which include: Jet Fuel, Gasoline, Kerosene, Light Virgin Naphtha, Heavy Virgin Naphtha, Petroleum Ether, Petroleum Spirit, and Petroleum Naphtha. These oils tend to be highly volatile and can evaporate within just a couple of days, which quickly diffuses and decreases toxicity levels.
(2 Light Oils / Middle Distillates which include: Most Grade 1 and Grade 2 Fuel Oils and Diesel Fuel Oils as well as Most Domestic Fuels and Light Crude Marine Gas Oils. These oils are moderately volatile, less evaporative and moderately toxic.
(3 Medium Oils: Most of the crude oil on the market these days falls into this particular category. Low volatility makes for messier & more complex “clean ups” and when it comes to the increased toxicity levels.
(4 Heavy Fuel Oils which include the heavy crude oils, Grade 3,4,5 and 6 Fuel Oils (Bunker B & C) as well as Intermediate and Heavy Marine Fuels. With these oils there is very slow and little evaporation and therefore toxicity is highly increased. This not only means potentially severe contamination for fish, fowl and fur-bearing creatures, but possible “long term” contamination of water and soil as well.

What people like you fail to understand is that In its natural, unrefined state, crude oil ranges in density and consistency, from very thin, light weight and volatile fluidity to an extremely thick, semi-solid heavy weight oil.
There is also a tremendous gradation in the colour that the oil extracted from the ground exhibits, ranging all the way from a light, golden yellow to the very deepest, darkest black imaginable.
For the purpose of having a set, agreed upon “vocabulary,” the petroleum industry often uses references to “Geographical Locations” in order to descriptively classify crude oils.
This is due to the fact that oil from different geographical locations will naturally have its own very unique properties. These oils vary dramatically from one another when it comes to their viscosity, volatility and toxicity.
When Crude oil comes as a commodity to be sold there is actually over 160 types in the commodity market and sold at different prices. But for the purpose of this argument I will dwell on the two i deal with on a daily bases from the Uk and the US.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is an extremely high quality crude oil which is greatly valued for the fact that it is of such premium quality, more and better gasoline can be refined from a single barrel than from most other types of oil available on the market.

The WTI “API Gravity” is 39.6 degrees, which makes it a “light” crude oil, with only 0.24 percent sulfur, which makes it a “sweet” crude oil. The term “API Gravity” refers to
the “American Petroleum Institute Gravity, which is a measure that compares how light or heavy a crude oil is in relation to water. If an oils “API Gravity” is greater than 10 then it is lighter than water and will float on it. If an oils “API Gravity” is less than 10, it is heavier than water and will sinks.

These combined qualities as well as location make WTI a prime crude oil to be refined in the United States, which is by far, the largest gasoline consuming country on the planet. The vast majority of WTI crude oils are refined in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions. Even with production of WTI crude oil in decline, WTI is often priced from $5 to $7 higher per barrel than “OPEC Basket” oil and on average, $1 to $2 higher per barrel than “Brent Blend” oils.

Brent Blend is actually a combination of different oils from 15 fields throughout the Scottish Brent and Ninian systems located in the North Sea. Its “API Gravity” is 38.3 degrees, which makes it a “light” crude oil, but clearly not quite as “light” as WTI. It also contains about 0.37 percent sulphur, which makes it a “sweet” crude oil, but then again, not quite as “sweet” than WTI.

Brent Blend is quite excellent for making gasoline and middle distillates, both of which are utilized in large quantities in Northwest Europe, where Brent blend crude oil is most often refined. Brent Blend production, much like that of WTI, is also on the decline, but it remains a major benchmark for other crude oils in Europe or Africa. Brent Blend oil price is often priced at a $4 higher per barrel compared to the OPEC Basket price.

OPEC Basket oil is a collective seven different crude oils from Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Dubai', Venezuela and the Mexican Isthmus. Because OPEC oil has a much higher percentage of sulfur within its natural make-up and therefore is not nearly as “sweet” as WTI or even Brent Blend and since it is also not naturally as “light” as well, the prices of OPEC oil are normally consistently lower than either Brent Blend or WTI. However, OPEC’s willingness or ability to quickly increase production when necessary makes OPEC a consistent “Major Player” in the oil industry!
By the way who in you shallow mind you think when I say buy from Nigeria I meant by pipe, thesame way vesel buy from Nigeria at the export terminal same way Dangote would have bought. Go to koko google aworitse and see howmany ships that young man has in his ship yard.

Not bad do not waste your time bringing palm Oil, its waste of space and KG plus you will have to bribe at the Airport for them to allow you,No point buy in the UK

Mistake a lot of people do again is omitting from their applications agencies they worked with on shifts etc. These guys just want someone here they can ask to confirm your suitability to work in their workplace environment. So if you worked shifts under Indeed Flex, you can mention the experience...it's your UK experience and you can't chunk it off, my take though.

I think he means Experience gained working in the Uk, if you are in Nigeria and all your experience were obtained from Nigeria then you are in same boat as my man here. There are some jobs who specifically will state UK experience.
