mega_utche: good evening all, i have read all comments on this post and i am really happy that we have ppl that are out there willing to educate ppl without asking for money or gift in return. we are indeed going places. i read geology from futo and i spent several yrs in banking in nija with very little to show for it. i realized 3 yrs ago that i dont have any skill at all and indeed very open to attacks in form of frequent sacking in the banking industry. i went for my msc in envir geology but is yet to conclude. i just resigned my appointment 2 months ago to acquire skills in oil and gas. i need expert advice on the certificate courses to do. i need info asap

wow another FuToite welcome, but was it not possible to hang around the banking sector till you get a job before you resign. I finished from FuTo, Geophysics

stunningjudy: nice thread. I'm Judith. I rep SPE, FUTO.

welcome FuToite

9icegee: SCAM!!! People pls dont be taken in!! U cant get drilling certifications for 30K pls!!

Funpeter: Nice one i guess is cos you are currently serving that's why you miss it.

Hahahahaha Nawao you be GPS Abi na satellite how you take track me like that, I de serve o o o o o jare

A Tribute to my bestie

Once in my life I had a friend I could totally trust with my life, she ended
up being my all time best friend beating my previous best friends
Archibong Ekpe-Idang of
presbyterian international school,
Nsikak ikopbo of Nigerian Christian
Institute.

Her name is Helen Ifeyinwa
chukwukelu. But today her name
changes to my Helen Ifeyinwa S. Because she just tied the knots with her hobby.
As you cross my mind for some days
now, all that flashed back was how
good you were to me.

You are my friend, sister, colleague, comforter,
and some times my boss (since you
scold me, Hahahahaha). So much to say about you, your love, care, understanding, tolerance,
motivation, inspiration, wise
thoughts, honesty, yes you were so
sincere, you never lie to me, we had
a way of communicating that was
grounded in truth, and that's my
greatest turn on. It helped us get
closer, shared our hidden thoughts,
ideas and secrets. We worked
together, achieved a lot with Gods
grace, its was wow knowing you, fun
all the way. Yes! We had arguments,
misunderstandings but we always
had a way of pulling strings thru.


One more thing I would never forget
about you is that in 2010 you
became that first lady (except my
mum and eldest sister)to call me on
phone and we talked up to more
than 5 mins, I marvelled. Even after
that we have always talked on phone
above 5mins. In 2012 you called my
Glo line exceeding 5mins(only my
mum and eldest sister calls my Glo
line before then), I was scared so I
hurried the call so as not to finish
your Voucher. you are indeed
different, and that made you stand
out.

From my estimate if 100 guys
met you, 90 thought of you as a
would-be wife, the remaining
indifferent, not surprised you are
getting married this early in life. Have
always told you I wanted to meet
your mum, to learn how she trained
you. Congrats to your hobby, he
made the right choice, for he that
findeth a wife has found a good
thing and obtains favour from God.
Wishing you a happy and fruitful
married life, you are blessed and
favoured, a light to your generation,
a pace setter among your equal,
keep the flag flying.

Finally with your
words "there is a place for
everyone", always remember your
place in my heart is intact, I LOVe
you for life, am sorry couldn't attend
your wedding hoping your will
understand and forgive me and
permit me to wear the clothes I told
you since July, I sew for your
traditional wedding, I have not worn
it yet. Cheers my bestie !!

just got a text sayin I can still register for nape conference under the name of my school for 15k and without paying the annual dues am owing. but unfortunately have bought a generator with the money, lol, no light here where am serving, pls I really need assistance with any software make I use kill NYSC time till my pop by June, 2014

my apologies for not advising you guys to go with sweater, some of you bought rubber shoes, no need Sha its useful for batch B, since it would be rainy, just get the mammy people to help you buy sweater. esp those in plateau, ekiti, Kwara, Enugu etc. pls next week will be colder till you leave camp. thanks
#Winnhe, how's the camp experience, hope the soldiers are not too harsh, as kitchen director, you will organise your platoon members to help in kitchen when its the turn of your platoon to do so. you will also be in charge during inter- platoon cooking competition. tk

ade014ril: Is there a time limit to bearing the name 'otondo' ?

yea, batch 13C will be called otondos till 14A have been sworn in that's would be around March next year.

imag5: lol oil and gas courses are expensive, when you will be earning blood money you forget the money you use in training...

still remember last year when my friend got a job in shell, graduate trainee Geophysicist, the first money that entered his account he posted on Facebook "blood money", many people didn't understand what he meant but I did.

Maths125: Am a fresher of this 2013/14 season. I wish I have first class but people say it not easy

Hahahahaha, that's what people say, what do you say to yourself "yes I can make it" like peak milk will say "its in you" for me even though I have good results, still felt I would have done better, my advise for you now is focus from day 1, every second counts. pls which school?

opeyemmmy: Tell him!

yea, am aware!! but its a plus to me, because am no more called otondo

MissIndependent: Mods why is this thread still titled prospective corpers? the last time i checked, i'm through with my registration and we'v been sworn in as CORPERS!

just be patient till after your swearing in, that's when you are a corper

2s£xy:
Yeah, right! That's why most people often go one on one lecture after school so as to get a better view of the course they studied. Besides, that's why self-development is the best tool you could ever do on yourself.

love this mindset

MissIndependent: so far they havnt asked for any photocopies yet oo just some online data registration and screening they may ask later sha but i dunno yet. As for passport, they asked for 2 for NYSC I.D card and meal ticket.

you will be given some files to fill later, that may take like 10passports

imag5: 2years masters in Canada and 1year master in UK which would you go for?all opinion are welcome

I would go for Canada. environment, universities there are very good in Geophysics and petroleum geosciences. visa, cost of living, close to Us so I can attend SEG international conference, am too sure of job after degree from Canada. lol
my friend just left for India for master in engineering geology anyway he intends to be a lecturer.

My ppl, Hw una de manage 4 dia, na run I run leave KWARA state come Riverstate after camp oh batch a 13, the sun 4 that state fit make person craze

imag5: Happy Sunday professionals,pls don't give up until you win,for those that needed sponsor,I call the accountant at Nape headquarter and he said before you will be clear this year for the conference you must have paid all your dues starting with the year you register as a member,the issues is I can pay sponsor fee and pay dues at same time and hotel bills it will
Be so hard,pls kindly bear with Us our office is sending only 2 people and they have all clear their dues by themselves..... Cheers....they are many conference to attend,like the Student mini conference next year will take care of that cheers.......one love my Geo and PE guys

mercyspeaks1: pls,lemme have ur pin or number.

2s£xy:
My thought exactly. If 2014 offers me something fantastic, I would definitely take NEBOSH!

I kinda love safety and first got insight when an ex student of my school delievered some paper presentation on "No Time Loss..."

last I heard a fellow friend did was around 250k.

P.S: Imag5, I respect your zeal to carry everyone along. May God bless you and strengthen you in all your endevours.

Imagine if we had 20 professionals coming on to help with useful self-developmental tips.

God bless you bro.

Nawao, for me HSE 2 and 3 is ok, I don't really want to practice full time, I love my Geophysics, petrophysics, reservoir engineering. and remote sensing/GIS. my first seminar was on remote sensing, I loved it, my hod wants to help publish it, the imagery and pixels were already processed by nasdra, abuja. my friend just got his first job with CB geophysical solutions PH, its a new firm, the owners worked with schlumberger Nigeria, UK and US for up to 20years, they can back home to start the firm. Congratr to him o o o.

Cutejay: I have been getting very negative reports about Kwara State. Like, no water, you'll get scars from sun burns, you will over work yourself and no pay, tribal wars etc. I think i'll have to redeploy after camp.

Hahahahaha, I hope the people that told you that have redeployed too, or are dead. don't believe everything you hear, am serving in one of the most talked about places Patigi LG , before I came, when I arrive. I met 200corpers batch 12c and 13a waiting to receive us. after the reception by LGI and his briefing, we were fed and well taken care of, the corpers staying in each village will be around to pick you home. in my villa our welcome party and orientation was organised that evening, they provided dinner, we also slept in corpers lodge that nite. they also provided break fast the following morning, since then, I discovered not all stories are true, all PPA here provide accommodation, the private schools pay, food stuffs is cheap, my school hold lessons after school end. I teach get extra pay, I also have 2girls I tutor, another pay, the state education board pays corpers 5k for now only those in areas bit remote from LG capital, the LG also pays 2k also to those in remote part of LG, so at the end of the month, one can raise extra 10-15k depending, currently my village owns a guest house, each room is self-contain. am staying there for free. so just decide wisely.

thuao: Pls any doctor in the house or anyone who knows abt what state pays, and wia its advisable to do PPA

what state pays differs, my LG pays 40k, I don't know how much my state pays. but the minimum is 60-120k

imag5: Thank you lord for the grace you havegiven us to see a new month full with hope and joy....happy new month my geoscientist and petroleum engineering guys Gods grace will continue to shine on us and also to the moderator we love you........,,Happy new month,next agenda Nape conference loading...those that need sponsor u get your reply did week

amen, thanks bro, am in, here is my id - St08/5314

Parkac: Don't be carried away by the prospect of ppa payment. You might end up working like slave in the name of getting paid. Like teaching 4 to 5 subjects

pls you are the one that accepted it, don't teach more than a subject, even in my PPA, we take just one class, any move they make we reject it or report to your LGI, they will be cautioned.

Engr charles.id:
Pls how much does kogi state pay

1k

mercyspeaks1: Thanks,pls kindly tell me the villages(ppa)/private sectors in kwara that are likely to pay corpers,since state no dey pay.

I think all private schools in rural areas pay, in Ilorin not all pay,

MissIndependent: Finally collected my Call-Up letter and to whom documents after the stress.


Yawns!.....

Congratrs

pascal2young: please send me ur email address so i cn forward it to u

hopeman4all@yahoo.com
thanks

Cutejay: Please i want to know how the camp is and the state in general-the food,water,accomodation,etc. Does the state pay? If they do, how much is it?

if the last camp director is still in charge, then I assure the meal served during batch B was balanced, our new state cord is a good man, I believe he will work on water, accommodation ok but inadequate bathroom. for now no state alawi, except some good PPA and some LGA may pay alawi.
