Career › Re: Nigerian Engineers Are Not Competent? by faketan(m): 3:04pm On Feb 05, 2008 |
Delta007: I think both sides have some valid points. I'm an Engineer, albeit schooled, trained and works in N.America. I had a cpl years Uni education in Nigeria before I jetted out and I must say my experience is clearer than 7up. I cannot dismiss the theoritical knowledge I picked up in Nigeria because it was the backbone of my relative success as an Engineer here, however I remember those nights I stayed up studying with lanterns and candles while mosquitoes finished the hell out of me; I kept asking myself how I was going to apply the knowledge because it never made sense. Yeah, I studied to pass and I passed with distinction; when I got to N.America the theory was already there but then I started to understand its applications. Heck, I came out tops in my class, easily worked my way into the world class firms by God's Grace. Even when u graduate here in N.America, you are not an Engineer; instead, u are an "Engineer in training" and you have to build 4-5yrs experience (which are supervised) before you are classified as an engineer. But in Naija, the moment u step out, even with a 2-2 or 3, u don become Engineer Adebayo. What can you Engineer? It's true, most infrastructures in Nigeria are built by multinational firms who bring in their "experts"; only few Nigeria Engineers actually Engineer., not because they are incompetent but just because of the system. I remember working in a global manufacturing company which had a plant in Naija; my intentions was for them to post me to naija as an expatriate for a couple years. Funny thing was one of the dudes that went ahead of me as an expatriate worked under me as a technician N.America. I trained him, gave him all the materials he needed and when he went to Naija, he was an Oga obviously because of his white skin. And of course, my boss no gree release me because according to him, I was too crucial for the operations in N.America.
My point is, there are very intelligent "Engineers" in Nigeria but the system has not allowed for Engineers to practise effectively. I must say I give kudos to my counterparts in Nigeria who despite the inadequacies, they genuinely practise in their fields and uphold the "standards" of the profession. There are incompetent Engineers everywhere, not just naija; that's why there are regulating bodies in various countries that ensure Engineers conform to law and ethics and are very competent in their fields. Take it or leave it, Engineers are just as important (or even more important) than doctors since every thing they do affect the general public, from the bridges and roads u drive on to even the cell phones every tom, privates and harry owns. For the dude that says Engineers in Naija only repairs and fixes, that part of Engineering is called "Reverse Engineering". Infact firms around the world employ engineers to research, spec, design, manage, maintain, improve, etc. The unfortunate part is that in Naija, most Engineers end up only "Managing" or "Maintaining". I guess that's your gripe but it's part of the profession.
The Universities have to be overhaul. Engineering is a practical Science so more emphasis should be put on experience, the theory cannot be ignored tho. Also, just as someone pointed out, Firms have to invest in Engineers; despite my university education, I've had countless on-the-job trainings which have kept me abreast with latest technology. These are not cheap.
BTW, anyone know whether PHCN dey look for correct Engineer? Time to give back to my motherland! I love this post |

GeeCee: Na me dey craze abi na you wey wan to be monitoring the CCTV in the loos especially the female loos. Well, you may write a detailed proposal to d company on the desirability of the idea. Thanks.  my detailed proposal had been forwarded to your office but I am afraid your secretary who happens to be a female will not let go through. Anyway I will forward another copy. meanwhile did I mention female loos? |
Jokes Etc › Re: Notice To Employees by faketan(m): 2:35pm On Feb 05, 2008 |
Hahaha u de craze.
I as an employee, I suggest that a CCTV camera be installed inside the loos with me as the operator,
Resposibility: to caution anybody who overstays in the loos by any mean i feel necessary.
The camera is not good for the gents as guys do not waste time in the loos. But to ensure gender equality, one should be installed also in the gents. |

Hopeozah: I tried filling the online form for trade alert on CSCS web page and "broker code" was requested. Could you help me out with that? What does it mean? I am not sure but I think you need to have a stock broker who will supply you with his code. your broker can as well open the account for you. Just make sure he uses your mobile phone number so that you receive your trade alert. You may need to confirm with the gurus anyway. |

Miracles do happen!
Expect Nigeria to beat Ghana today at your own peril.
There could be an upset but the last thing I will do is to stake a worn out coin for Nigeria to beat Ghana.

pumping777: Medium or long term, I have my radar on CILeasing and AGLeventis. Wait for the profit takers to depress the price. It's already happening with CILeasing. I believe this stock will continue a gradual for consistent upward movement. Also keep an eye open for Japaul for reasonable price depression. There is more to be made from the stock this year. Thank you. I will hold on. |

pumping777: Diamond is not in my radar. I know 9 months result is expected in March but I am worried that those that requested for ordinary shares from the last GDR offfer will have their shares credited by then. This may prevent any upswing and may even depress the price and provide a better entry point for medium or long term.
Guinea Insurance I know little about. The fundamentals are not great. Forward PE of around 74. This is quite high.
I am generally not looking in the direction of the insurance companies right now with the fear of TS all around. Thank you so much. I already have some GTB but may be I should get more. Or do you suggest I jump into FBN. Could you please suggest any other stock with good prospect medium long term please. I trust your expertise . |
