jokers... i wonder this waste of resources...illumedien basin..has no reservoir potentials, The borehole section is delineated into upper foraminifera and lower ostracod biostratigraphic units as no formal biostratigraphic zonation could be attempted due to low diversity of both benthic foraminifera, marine ostracods and the absence of planktonic foraminifera.
Kegeron that has the oil profile at commercial quantity are formed from the planktonic forams.....we will all wait for the outcomes!

Always run for your life.

i am in love with Similar but don't try cheating on me.

Still hoping to see my primary school teacher who believed I couldn't amount to anything because my parents were not well to do....
Now,I am a biochemist and a medical doctor abroad.
I can't wait to see you Mr. Gbenga and show to you that no condition is permanent.
All glory and honour be to God.

He only ruminated on the present.. he shared the part of general mental dullness some crude teacher had then, which has affected them from seeing beyond the present in a kids life,
presently, most the dull students in school then are the folks running the town now, the group called bad gangs, they are the guys riding on range rovers and exotic cars on street of Nigeria. I have learnt to respect kids than elderly or aged people now, because you can never know what will still become the outcome of that kid rather than an elderly man who has explore all his possibilities of what made him what he his today.

Hello Guys.

This will be the first time I'll be asking for relationship advice on here since I've been on Nairaland

I've been dating this girl for some months now,I really love her a lot but she has some issues

Lemme explain, when we started dating she was the perfect girl until after about a month, I noticed any time she was with my phone she would go through my WhatsApp. Any time I confront her about it she'll accuse of me of cheating and hiding things from her and because of the that we had a big fight, I tried calling her to apologize but she avoided my calls,it was not until she got into a fight with one of her friends because she was checking his WhatsApp that she apologized and we settled.
Now to the latest,I observed that she loved reporting every little issue we have to my friends,which I don't like (I like my privacy) she actually reported our relationship to a friend of mine who I'm not in talking terms with, in the course of the guy trying to intervene, he insulted me so much, he called me a liar so many times and I couldn't do anything cos my girlfriend was the one who involved him. After the chat I got in touch with my girlfriend and told her politely that I didn't like the way she carried our relationship issues to my friends, that my friends' girlfriends never reported their issues to me they way she did to them and she exploded, she called names,she started crying saying I should give her space because I'm making her regret getting into the relationship. Now she hasn't answered my calls since then.
She doesn't respect me at all,she makes me feel as if I'm maltreating her, she doesnt take anything i say and does anything she sees fit. please should I continue with the relationship or not.

PS: she's the only daughter of her family, could it be the reason she acts like this?

all this Indomine pikin no go let person hear word....oga you're are just 25, focus on your self and career first, it's a very slim chance that you both is going get married later.... don't get bother about her silly attitude and its left to you to take your decisions no matter what you're been advised to do on here!!!

michaelella:
Good day gabbros an obsidians! I'm really pleased to have come across this forum, and I've carefully read each comment and reply.

I graduated with a B.Sc. in Geology (2:1) from University of Calabar. Right from my 100 level I've been very passionate about geology, to the extent that despite reading about all the challenges and difficulties coupled with the little I've experienced, I do not regret reading geology because I can't think of any course that would have made me love academics this much. I'm also a beneficiary of the NNPC/Chevron scholarship.
I'm very goal oriented and self motivated, trying not to give room for discouragements career wise because like I tell myself there's also a frustrated engineer, lawyer, and even a doctor somewhere, but it's DAMN tough not to be discouraged at some point and just go full time into business.

I'm 22 years of age, and I wouldn't say I've seen disappointments like real disappointments relating to this geology as a career but I think I've had a taste. I'm currently serving in Ogun (Ota) state (Batch A 2017, Stream 1). It all started when I got posted to Ogun, I needed a PPA at Sango Ota because I stay at Lagos, brothers and sisters I combed the whole local government including the industrial estate with no hope. The three major replies I get are:
1. We need people who studied engineering (Whenever I heard this, I wish they rather told me just go I don't like your face)
2. You have to know someone at the top to give you are recommendation (this almost killed my zeal to check keep going to copanies, but I'll keep on trying so far transport dey)
3. "Who do you want to see" by the gate-man, and if you don't know anyone, you may as well get lost already

I've finally gotten myself at a PPA where I go just twice a week (I spend the two days reading my sedimentology, stratigraphy and geophysics textbooks cause of idleness), and with the understanding of my boss, if I get an job or an internship I could come just once a week. This gives me 3 to 4 working days to add value to my life. I included this cause I believe I can still get help from someone in this forum.

I'm currently searching for an internship or any form of job related to geology just to gain experience or as a last option a job of any kind so I can saffe up money to write the IELTS exam. I've even gone begged to companies to take me as a volunteer worker, with no pay or stipend of any kind yet still, they bluntly refused saying there's no space for that.

Not withstanding, I'm still looking at the positive side. I'm also thinking critically about my future regarding M.Sc. which I would like to pursue immediately after my NSC God willing. I have 3 choices (Petroleum Geoscience, Applied Geophysics and Environmental Geology/Engineering which I'll expantiate on to enable everyone here to offer advice.

1. Petroleum Geoscience: Yes, it's lucrative, but if you were to look at my area of strength an pick a course for me you'll pick same. I find myself doing very well in courses like Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Petroleum Geology, Applied Geophysics, Economic geology etc (if I don't get an A, it's a B). I'm naturally interested in this course, maybe the fact that it's lucrative makes it easier for me to understand.
Most times I try to think of a case where there would be shortage of petroleum geoscientist since many people are talked out of streamlining their careers to study pet geo. Remember that, despite the oil troubles companies are still searching for reserves using advanced technologies.

2. Applied Geophysics: This is like the safest option, because not only can you work in the oil industry, but also in other aspects like solid mineral exploration etc. You can even run your own company and search for contracts. BUT I love to be realistic, I have a B.Sc in geology, not geophysics, maths, engineering or physics. Schooling in Nigeria is bad enough, I don't trust my maths and physics so well, I last offerred Advanced Maths in 200L which I passed with strive. I have doubts that I'll be able to cope well if I go outside the country to study Geophysics. Even if I somehow struggle to pull through, this world is too competitive to travel out to study only to be average in what you do, you must excel in your chosen field). I've read forums which say it's easier for a engineer or mathematician to study for an M.Sc. in Geophysics than a geologist. Otherwise, I'll Take this option over Petroleum Geoscience.

3. Environmental Geology/Engineering: Everyone talks about how important environmental geology is and is becoming. Yes, but looking at it critically, are the positions for an environmental geologist not also limited? How many will an oil company employ? How many will other companies and federal ministries employ? Also, looking at the future, I see a situation where environmentalist would be far higher than the available jobs, like very high, can't predict how soon though.


Everyone should please feel free to let me know if I'm wrong, it may help another person too.

Also, @GeoOla25 please I'll like to know how you went about applying to university of Liverpool. I know some routines, but there are some little details I'll love to ask you privately.

hello Michaella,
Good to know you still have passion to pursue a career in the field of Geosciences.

Firstly, I will say don't be discourage about your PPA challenges , Otta is not a best location for a geoscientists, I have been based there sometimes ago and I have onces and virtually comb the whole areas, but you would have been a bit lucky if you had your way to Lafarge or Wapco at Ewekoro or Ibese ...well no hope is lost. take your time to prepare more for the challenges ahead during this period.
Secondly, On the issue of securing an International admission and funding through scholarships , it's no rocket science , all you need to do is to use your google search engine effectively and get all your documents prepared.
why google? you have to search various institutions in the UK , Canada , US and other good countries, get a list of them and browse through there requirements for International students, so some school you don't even need TOEFL or IELT but just your WAEC or NECO credit in English will do, or get a proficiency in English from the school you graduated from.
I will give you a list of necessary documents you need to secure an admission in some international schools in UK and the likes.
1. get an international passport
2. get. the original copies of all your certificates till your last education
3. Get a your transcript l.e student copy
4. get reference letter from your school lecturers minimum of 2 will be required.
5. get IELT or TOEFL with score of 6.5 and above (optional), some scholarship boards requires it , chevening scholarship, NLNG and some few others requires it.
Thirdly, Funding it doesn't come like a magic, you need adequate preparations cos you will be competing with thousands of candidates too, I will list few international fully funding scholarship bodies apart from the one above and you also have to do your home work to know when these awarding bodies rolls out there scholarship.
1.PTDF
2.NLNG
3.Agip
4. Commonwealth
5. Shell (if your from oil producing states especially there operations areas)
6. NDDC (strictly Oil producing states)
7.for first class candidates , NUC too offer a scholarship.
just keep keen to your information and read extensively.

stay focus and keep your head's up.
cheer.
