Autos / Re: How Much Is Drivers License by idowuayo101(m): 7:44am On Jan 22, 2017
Bro, How long did it take? And did u have to do driving test and capturing again?
Gten:
The amount for processing drivers license varies depending on the number of years applied for. (3yrs or 5yrs). I did renewal for 3 years and it cost 8,500 as a against the 6, 500 that you keep hearing from road safety. So for a new one just budget between 18k to 20k.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Miraculous Way I Got A Job Without Connection!!! - Life Testimony by idowuayo101(m): 10:50pm On Nov 06, 2015
Congrats sir (you don turn sir now. lool). This is a testament of sheer willpower and persistence.

I have got a job finally!! 
I want to thank God for d miraculous way in which he did it.

Let me tell you all my story. I studied an engineering course in the University, graduate with a 2.1 and  finished my NYSC early  last year. I have submitted countless applications online,(because I had a 2.1 I always get test invitations) & did over 20 tests and interviews but always get the "we will get back to you" feedback.

Out of frustration I took a 35K job offer as a Sales rep in a FMCG company, the MD of the company is very abusive and always hire and fire at will. I did this job for over a year till I got fed up because I couldn't take it anymore.

During the 1year period of working in the FMCG company, I kept updating my skills by learning AutoCAD, PDMS and 2 other engineering softwares from my savings because those trainings are very expensive.

I resigned few months back and relocated to Lagos. Then I continued applying for jobs online and then I compiled a list of almost 200 oil and gas companies in Lagos through google and linkedin contacts, wrote their names, addresses , fone numbers and emails. I sent unsolicited applications together with my CV to all the companies and waited for 2 weeks but yet no positive responses.

Then I changed tactics and started sending text messages & calling the landlines of those companies yet I kept getting the same responses of "we are not employing for now", "the oil industry is in crisis", "We'll get back to you if we need you". 

Then last week I got fed up and started visiting those companies physically to drop hard copies of my CVs and applications. Then within few days, I started getting test & interview invitations, but all are still inconclusive. Then I got a call last week friday to come to an oil servicing company I submitted CV in VI. I went there I was told they are interested in me because of the engineering softwares I said I know and we did the interview and on the spot the told me the job function as a Trainee Engineer, and I was really happy that I will get good experience with the job, but what shocked me the most was when the issue of salary came, they asked what I would collect I wanted to mention that it is in the region of 70-90K so as not to discourage them because we are all aware of the Issues in the Oil & Gas industry and also because the company was a small one with just an ugly bungalow and am sure their staffs are not up to 20,  then I told them am willing to go with their company's structure for entry-level engineers. Then the HR just told me the will start with an amount (over 100K) & that I am to start immediately, and asked if I will take it, I was speechless and just said Yes, because despite the mass sacking in the oil industry & bad economy I still got a good job without any connection or experience in the oil industry. I couldn't hold my joy when I was shown to my work station and work commenced. Pls fellow applicants don't loose hope, keep trusting God and He will do it for us all.

Xoxo

Politics / Re: FG Plans N8tn Budget For 2016 by idowuayo101(m): 9:27pm On Nov 06, 2015
Not really. it only means the rest of the population, abt 70million are living above the "poverty line". I'm sure there is a real difference between that and being wealthy. A large population of the people in the middle class can't exactly be defined as rich. imho.
bigtt76:
That means more tax and less tax exemptions in the coming year.

110 million poor? So the remaining 70 million are rich? How come sir

Why would I want to misinform people "bro"? A simple internet search on the meaning of business casual should better enlighten you. I'm not forcing my opinions on anyone and neither should you. Peace.
tshoboy:

Dont misinform people bro. you need a jacket but you dint need a tie. you can mix your jacket with a shirt/polo, your chinos/pant and your shoe.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Dangote Refinery Is Recruiting, Closes On 15th August by idowuayo101(m): 10:14pm On Oct 05, 2015
An office shirt and trousers should be fine. 'Business casual' means you dont really need to wear a suit and/or tie. However, it doesnt mean one should just wear t-shirt and shorts there. Lool
lattychem:
I am confused.......... Meaning of business casual dress code.pls I need help
