Gamesmart:
No pictures of the bedrooms and outside?

There you go

ibuildstuff:
U said well over 1million.

I never quoted a figure here for Shell. I said my mentee got contract job and was offered N850k. I also said my friend that got permanent job in Shell 10 years ago was earning N850k per month as at that time.

ibuildstuff:
Professional contract staff and entry level, who should receive a bigger salary. Infact I'm not having this argument with u. Shell does not pay 2million at entry level with or without tax.

Where did I say Shell pays N2m?

JIREN01:
loool, and the contractor takes 30-40% cut before paying the staff the remaining percentage.

Lol. The contractor’s management fee is separately agreed (Usually a % of the salary)and the salary of the seconded employee also Separately agreed.

I have such invoices in my front as we speak

idahme:
that award is like a lottery, the one who lucks shines on gets it. The award doesn't show the overall quality of the winners.

I agree. I play Sunday Sunday football in my area. I’m one of the worst players in terms of overall quality but I have some of the best goals to my credit. I just try some tricks snd it works. Fiam, goal!

ibuildstuff:
Ya but contractors determine how much they pay their staff, not contractors.
Infact some entry level with shell contractors in warri and Edo receive between 90 to 100 k. They are some contractors even paying their staff as low as 50k.

Obviously, we are not in the same level of conversation. I'm talking of professional contract staff seconded to Shell head office in Lagos that resumes in Shell office everyday. Not talking about the guy that packs shit in the field.

This is easy. Lewandowski

theoneJabulani:
Puskas Award: Son Heung Min vs Burnley

Funny how this Puskas award has eluded Messi and players like Giroud, Son etc have won it.

ibuildstuff:
If u are talking of contract staff, then is the contractor who pays the staff, not she'll if the contractor choose to pay 850, that's good but I don't think any shell contractor I know will pay such amount for entry level Sha.

Shell pays the contractor which in turn pays the contract staff.

ibuildstuff:
Which graduate trainee are u talking about?
Abi which shell are u talking about.

If I wan to lie, lie reasonably.

He is correct. One of my mentees that got entry level CONTRACT STAFF job in Shell last year is earning N850k.

Permanent staff earn more than that.

ibuildstuff:
Guy calm down. Entry level nor pass 500k are month.
They can pay upfront and all but the salary for entry level is not up to one million.

My dad work with Chevron, Noble and Pacific drilling.

I know what I'm talking about.

If you prorate upfront and all that, it still gives average that is above a million per month.

karkinase:
Many friends I know r disappointed with this NNPC offer. DPR pays better thou

I know.

ibuildstuff:
Sharap there, no company pays graduate trainee 2million naira monthly.

N2m is gross. After deduction of tax, it will be lower.

CodeTemplar:
Will like to see that of NNPC subsidiaries. This one you posted is learning.

NNPC pays peanut. NNPC is not in the top 15 highest paying oil companies in Nigeria, except at senior management level.

Even the GT guys that were recruited in the last recruitments are disappointed at what they saw �. Some are complaining already. I know one that want to quit. NNPC entry level pay is less than N250k per month.

emkz:
OP, what about job security?

ExxonMobil laid off workers two weeks ago towards cutting 14k jobs worldwide. ConocoPhillips plans to lay off 500 workers next year, Shell plans to lay off 9000 workers by 2022. British Petroleum plans to ax 10,000 jobs and Schlumberger plans to cut 21,000 more jobs. Chevron is also laying off about 7,000 of their workforce.

So guys in the oil industry, would you advise young folks to build a career in the industry considering the oil burst and potentially even more post-covid and also the energy transition?

Even when laid off, your redundancy package is heavy. You can be given up to N100m as redundancy package when you are laid off depending on your level and years you have spent. At worst, you could pocket N20m if you were a junior person affected.

Jollylolly:
this is a big and fat lie; so you are saying they get more than the basic salaries of country's President and VP

Lol. Easily. It is not the official basic salary of the President that makes the president position juicy. It is the allowances and other juicy benefit. Not to talk of having a budget under you.

I earn way more than the president going simply by the president’s official basic salary.

ednut1:
What do people gain in posting rubbish. Graduate trainee in shell earns over 1m naira. Those senior postions earn more than 4m a month. Oga abeg carry fake news commot here

Dont mind these people. Graduate trainee earned N850k in Shell far back 10 years ago.

Professional football is different from street football. I am 38, and I play football every weekend. I have played football almost every single weekend in the past 10 years.

But I will not deceive myself to say I can play professional football. Football is their own day job, they train everyday, unlike we that play only once or twice a week.

OP assumes they only play football on match days. Nah, they train almost everyday. It is not just match days.


And the tempo in a professional football game is different from that of playing football for fun.

Professional football is serious work.

hakeem4:
To be honest, I do not feel like relocating out of Nigeria. I don’t know the fuse Nigerians have with Canada sha

Same here

obembet:
This people are unpredictable, they can still give to messi or Cristiano. like they always said the rich get tie while the poor get poorer

I still love CR7 sha

Lewandowski is clinching this

Osaze won this award three times. Okocha once, Ighalo once.

michjunior:
griezmann is a Muslim bro

Although I see him like Pogba’s Islamic posts on IG, I doubt he is one himself.

He is very close to Pogba. I suspect he is doing this for his Muslim friend, Pogba.

Bike from VI to MMIA Ikeja, via Third Mainland Bridge, to catch a flight to go see her.

Oh boy, old people plenty for Nairaland o

Agba o ni tan l’orile ���

Sleekfingers:
i think u are right.......people residing in these areas are more than 15million( egbeda, igando, ipaja, dopemu, ikotun, egbe , isolo, ago- okota, oke afa, iba and ijegun....

Not to mention people living in agege, ikeja, oshodi, ajao estate, mushin, surulere, ilupeju, bariga , gbagada, oworoshoki, ifako, yaba, ebute meta. They are close to 20million......

How about lagos island, ikoyi, victoria island , ajah, epe, lekki and the entire area around lekki epe expressway...they are more than 10 million......

How about apapa, ijora, ajegunle, badia, festac, badagry, satelite, okoko etc they are more than 15 million.......abeg make dem talk another thing......

Lagos alone is more than 50million......

Just like that?

If you have ever been to Tokyo or these Chinese cities, all less than N40m and more accurately counted, you will know that Lagos is not more than N20m.

If you use all these things you are saying, you will say Cairo is N20m if you see Cairo.

The same people you see in VI/Obalende etc in the afternoon are the ones you will see in Ajah or Agege in the evening. Don't be deceived. VI probably has less than 20k people living there.

Most of the people you see in Ajah in the evening, you see same in Ibeju Lekki later at night.

I don't think Lagos is more than N20m.
