Plenty money can I use it to drink ogogoro
Who is in charge of the money

All your posts on NL come with a squeezed face. Even for a sensitive case such as this? Can't you be civil for once? Are you naturally silly or are you just trying?

OP my thoughts and prayers are with you this time. This too shall pass.

Happy Birthday ma. Your daughter loves you, so do I. You will live long to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Bur I tot GEJ and crew promised us uninterrupted power by the end of the year

Also (even though if this is true there is little or nothing that can be done), did you compel her to marry you?. Was there a mutual understanding and agreement to marry each other or you wanted to and succeeded in marrying her. Were you both in love before the marriage or was it one sided love?

I say this because, my school mother for instance had a suitor, very nice guy, was really serious with marrying her, he was just an eligible bachelor. 2008 she told me there was this thing with him she didn't like, she doesn't like and she will never like. Even whenever he tells her hello over the phone, she said, she gets depressed again. So she told him she was not interested, and was not ready for marriage then. For where? That guy followed me eh.... He pestered me oooooooo, sending gifts, calling and declaring unending love for her. He said she was his ideal woman. She blocked him off.

Now here is the deal, 2010 she has got into the "settling down quick lane" and in the absence of any other eligible suitor, she ran back to him, and marriage sets.

I was in her house for 2 days in 2013. Chai! She as just snapping at the poor guy anyhow over nothing! She has always been a very pleasant person to me, she took me to many places, she was nice to colleagues, her hair dresser likes her, but at home, you really feel for the guy. Even when she is answering his call, I feel like covering her mouth with my hand! And the guys still has a lot of love and patience for her.

You may choose to search deeper, but as I said earlier, if it's that she doesn't like your big head with drab voice, or you drool while talking, or that you are not polished enough but you are the only viable option as at the point of marriage, I extend my sympathy to you. There is nothing much one can do but to live with it.

I repeat, it is well with you.

OP, permit me to ask, are you the husband to my "sister"? Is your initial N.I.N?

Ok on a serious note, OP, I can really relate to your situation because I have a "sister" like that around me. Exactly the same traits you mentioned. In fact, we (family members) call the husband, Saint Nxxxxx. Lol. That guy has heard nwiiiiii.

Eh... How does she relate with her family members? Cos for my "sister's" case, the matter don tire all of us. Even the way she talks to her own mom (a very amiable and lovely woman) just sends shivers to us. Her own has defied every solution, so I don't even have an advice to give you, but just to encourage you. You are not alone, God will see you through. You may have gotten a life-long cross to carry, carry it diligently. Lets hope that in between, there will be a miraculous turn-around. It is well with you!

She should have used the money for one of the Dubai shopping dresses to paint that wall. What an eyesore

Happy married life.

Nicepoker:
na we send u school?

Hey, that's not a nice thing to say. If you have a link, pls help him.

SeaGold:
Bia woman, you have not stated any problem on your long epistle but a valedictory sermon on your person.

What at least is he getting right in the family? If non divorce him.

If a man is handling a building project that is cost effective and beneficial to family and you biitch about children attending "A" grade institution, be ready to foot the Bill. Every sane man work for his family and his family is TOP priority even though our strategy to expand might affect our family initially.

If you earn little salary compared to his, please augment it in the family disposable expenses while he shoulder the capital projects. This area as a sacrifice on your part is non negotiable.

Men loves women who manages resources very well. Are you a waste? When a man discovers his wife manages financial resources prudently, trust me with time he will take you into confidence and let you manage all of his financial transaction but if you are the bring this, bring that even when you earns, expect loads of bullshiits and disrespect from the PAY MASTER.

What I can sense and conclude from your post concerning your marital ish is "MONEY". I think you want to make hold of his money and he is thinking of the future while your needs is immediate satisfaction.

Goodluck as you work on your temperament but if not guilty as charged...divorce the ADAM but in all sincerity I saw a FOCUSED man.

Hide your head in shame. U are worse than OP's husband. Focus ko, illusion ni.

Didn't you read verbal abuse in what the OP wrote? Why would a man open his mouth and call the mother of this kids such derogatory names?

Pls if you are just looking for likes check another less sensitive thread. The lady is already down, no need kicking her on the floor.

esere826:
not bad

however, since i'm strong on architectural finese, I'll be reluctant to give this house 70%
the finishing was not done by experts
the paint is on the roof and spilling onto the pavement
walls that are supposed to be straight are zig zag

Sometimes its better to use metal containers and precise plums when doing your concrete containers
metal does not go zig-zag the way that wood does

u try sha

Same here, and so I'm with you on this. Also how could you use 6 pillars to support a roof, not even a balcony, a roof! Well, its common in Nigeria designs but I don't buy the idea.
Cheers!

No. Humans are highly unpredictable beings.
Deal with each person according to present situation

Me next....

Going to the village for Christmas as kids, my mum wanted us to blend with village life, sweep the compound, fetch drinking water from stream... (to a large extent, she was trying to impress village people, grandma and co wives). Lol

First morning, 6am, wake up call. Chai! I mean why are we even in a hurry to get up when its a full free day. But no problems its all adventure

She had bought jerry cans ready for going to stream. 6:30 prayers were over and we were set for stream with Granny's house boy, Arinze, leading the way. By the time we dragged our lives to the stream, we already met people coming back (second round) for the morning. On a normal trip, it takes 20 minutes to reach the stream from my house. Trust kids it took us twice that time.

My village stream has almost a 90 degree slope and steep about a 100 feet downwards within a very short horizontal distance. Descent and ascent is definitely not for the faint-hearted

So on hands and knees, we crept down hills to the river. Arinze quickly helped us filled our jerry cans. Climbing back up, every spirit of adventure was vanished! See bickering, murmuring, crying and other home kids laughing at us. Free drama for them, and to add to it, we were speaking in "unusual tongues". Lol

Immediately, we got up, Arinze asked if we could trace back our way home (he probably had sensed it will take us two hours to get back, and we had disorganized his daily routine). With a few uncertain nodes and yes guesses, he hurried out leaving us to our fates.

Very long journey home, But to cut the long story short, we got home at 1pm that day. We had circled the almost the whole village before we got back hungry, bare footed, sun-burnt, abandoned water cans, scratches on the skin when we followed a bush part while tracing our way. My mum and aunt had taken foods in food boxes to look for us down to the stream with non of us with a trace. Every one worried and waiting. When we returned, we were celebrated like "Prodigal Sons".

Well, we went back to the stream on regular bases (we negotiate with mumsy the day to go and the day not to). Her philosophy being that "Practice makes perfect". I love that lady! Haha. Today, I look back and am happy for all those training years

There is something in the market for snorers, a silicon nose clip, and its very cheap. Lemme get the picture...

But I don't know if it is the Nigerian market yet.

bigfrancis21:
Lol. I've been asleep. I just woke up less than an hour ago. I'm in US and the time zone here is 5 hours behind Nigerian time. That's why I'm just replying now.

Ok. I have edited it. Pls do well to un-quote me. I'm in China. Its about 9pm now. I will send it shortly.

Guys are not any less guilty. Lol

bigfrancis21:
Are you of the 2013 batch? At what stage is your application currently on?

2013 batch of what? I need someone to help me review my cover letter for the current shell graduate recruitment. A lot of online sources, conflicting.

bigfrancis21:
Hello flyca. Nice to meet you. What graduating class are you?

What stage are you at in the test process currently?

2011. Pls can you send a mail to zizimails@yahoo.com
My application is still hanging

bigfrancis21:
I read EE at the University of Nigeria Nsukka. I'm starting my masters by January next year.

Hi, I did same course, same uni. I need your assistance as I'm currently doing the present shell recruitment test.

Olutola88:
After all I've said, you still think you are wasting your time doing a Masters programme? As for whether it's same with all Oil & Gas companies, the answer is NO! I once heard there are some that won't hire you if you do not have an Msc in Engineering

Pls calm down sir. "I once heard". I heard that too. But I have read through the pages of this thread and no one refuted that claim. All na rumor. I'm just digging for something more tangible. Thanks all the same.

Olutola88:
Like I said earlier, you will be allowed to go through the hiring process provided a masters degree is not one of the eligibility criteria. NB: If an applicant with masters degree has the same performance(during the hiring process) with another applicant who doesn't have an MSc, the one without an MSc will be at disadvantage if someone is to dropped

Pls do you know if it is the same for all oil companies? I just weak, just wondering why I am going through the extra stress of M.Engr

Olutola88:
A qualified candidate will not be dropped just because he or she doesn't have a masters degree.

Nevertheless, a Masters degree will DEFINITELY give you an edge at final stages of selection. There are cases where only 20 positions will be vacant and about 40 applicants will make it to the final stage. In that kind of situation, the employer will definitely consider dropping applicants that do not have MSc for the ones that have Masters in that particular field.

Don't forget we are talking about Engineering here( it's a professional course). Someone that studied Agriculture can do the work a Banking and Finance graduate should do, A graduate of physics can function as an auditor in a consultancy firm but it's an Engineer that must be hired to do the work of an Engineer. In fact, there are many cases where an Electrical Engineer will not be allowed to take up a Mechanical Engineering role. That means having Masters degree( which is specialization) can never be a waste in the Engineering profession, provided one specializes in the “right” field.

Anyone with a better response shouldn't fail to correct what I've said because I'm just a learner.

Thanks

Pls the bolded is my greatest concern now. As we wait for "better response" can you throw more light on this. Does it mean, at Entry level, qualification (probably by job test) is what matters, and not your highest degree?

Olutola88. Pls I need clarification. Some people on this platform said Shell and Mobile do not necessarily require a Masters degree (in other words: it doesn't give any edge). The only requirement is a 2.1 (minimum) in Engineering field. Pls is it true? Lemme know if I'm just waisting my time here

karmaleon:
Shell - approx. 650k monthly
ExxonMobil and Total - approx 16m-17m per annum
Schlumberger - approx. 800k monthly

The gist is, exploration and production companies pays at least 500k monthly with other benefits while servicing companies starts from 200k.

But you MUST have your masters before you can get in!

But I just saw another thread here on NL about graduate trainee in shell. I don't think Masters was a requirement.

My personal observations. I will keep updating

Setting wrong priorities

As with fame, most celebrities do not want to leave the spotlight, and by all means want to maintain status quo by marrying people within the spotlight circle, or people rich enough to keep the fame flame burning. At this time, compatibility is the last question on their minds. So its almost always a disaster waiting to happen.

My opinion

A Relative

Happy birthday. Wishing you happiness in all you do. Cheers!
