The same reason why a He-male will happily choose (F) as his gender sign...

And where's ProudOlodo?

You're still guessing how your day went...
Eleyi gidi gan! Well, when you finally realize how yours went, you know what to do and how to reach mii.. Say mi hi to your e-Family.

I sent ProudOlodo on a Peace keeping mission in Planet Mercury Seems the aliens over there are planning on waging a war on Ksstroud's planet.

I'm caught! I'm caught!!

Amicable, what did you say happened to you? A He-male in She-male's clothing I laugh in ibibio

As for the twitter ish, you don't have to blame anybody. She's a Celebrity does not require her following every Tom, Dick n Harry. They follow because they feel it's necessary and fruitful to them; she follows because she found her following worthy of follow.
Whatever you do, do for your inner peace.

As for me, team relevant following...
BTW, what's dat you twitter handle? E be lyk to follow you go make sense o.

It's going to be Gmat. Two parts.
First part, 60 questions comprises of general knowlege and general engineering knowledge.

Second part, 20 questions on your discipline.

By GMAT, hope it's not all dese Business mathematics (quantitative reasoning) dat has been giving me sleepless nights..

keniwonder:
The original advert I saw didn't have any provision for Civil engineers. Am surprised it's included on this one. Please can we re-confirm it? Will really appreciate it.

That's true.
I had to apply (with subject: Civil Engineering) not minding the requirements and I got an acknowledgment mail from them

ayusco85:
maybe u used capital letter for the ''GETS2016'' instead of lower case ''gets2016''. i just sent mine and got an instant confirmation

Whether capital letter or lowercase, confirmation will roll in. I sent mine the way I saw it on twitter (all caps) and I got an acknowledgment reply immediately.

Godisnear:
As an experienced citizen of the Federal republic. lol

Funny enough, I still do this shii in dis my old age.

#EEDC maka why

ToluSan, come and gist us the Supreme court's ruling on the Abia election battle between H.E Okezie Ikpeazu and Dr. Alex Otti. I know Amicable would also want to hear it

Do you know sites where one can download Seasonal Korean movies

Seun:
If they are still maintaining the so called official rate instead of selling the forex by auction, the result will be exactly the same as with the BDCs.

What do you mean by "selling forex by auction"?

According to the CBN, it sells about US$1.5 billion/year to
BDCs in the country at N197.0/dollar. The BDCs however sell
to the average Nigerian on the street for as high as N260/
N270/dollar. It means on the average, each BDC was making
about N73.0 on each dollar bought.

Hmm.. Good profit.

abdulwastecx:
Nice sir... I am very familiar with oyenuga ( the Yaba tech, doctor). In that reinforced concrete design book you spoke about, the man was referring to load bearing partition wall and in structures, a load bearing wall must carry a reasonable load like slab, heavy roof, canopy beams etc.

The bungalow we are building here will only carry a head beam of 225mm x 225mm and also very light wood truss. Having say that it is still important to build according to some standard. We bought the block from a trusted supplier that uses stone dust to produce block and he get between 30- 35 for every one back of cement, properly vibrated and cure for some days before the work. We use this method because it will not be economical to mould ourself with the vibrated machine for such a low quantity of block we want to buy.

Bearing capacity only affect the width of the strip footings that will carry the load bearing wall but this affect heavily loaded portion wall. Thanks

Okay. Thanks.

abdulwastecx:
Ok sir.
I have made it a policy to build all my structures ( either bungalow or duplex) as frames structure ( building where there are columns and such columns carries all the load rendering the wall to be just partition wall) since most of the house we have been constructing are in the east or south South, where the soil is relatively soft.

For this particular project on a relatively good terrain (suleja, niger state) and couple with the client limited budget we decided to use load bearing block wall. The block use was machine vibrated stone dust block with reasonable strength. That is the reason why we use 9''block throughout this bungalow.

Oh! I see! That's so lovely to hear.
From a book I read, Elements of Reinforced Concrete design (can't remember the name very well), Engr. V. Oyenuga made some statements about using load bearing walls. One of them is, It must be machine made and each bag of cement should yield a maximum of 25 blocks (though I know it shouldn't just be 25 but should be within that number to obtain a good strength). He also talked about the Bearing Capacity of the soil ranging from 150Kn/m^2 ~ 200Kn/m^2; and from your explanation above, it's like the soil BC met the requirement. Now, what quantity of the Machine vibrated stone dust blocks are formed from a bag?
Are your blocks made on site under your supervision so that the desired strength/number per bag would be achieved or they are made away from site? Because, I know most of these block industry guys are always after their pockets, not considering the required strength to be achieved.

Sorry if my questions are annoying. I'm just a learner trying to building my CE experience.

Abdulwastecx, I didn't notice any sign of reinforcements used esp. with regards to columns. I've heard of columns not being necessary in bungalows and load bearing walls (1 storey) buildings, but I've not really come to understand the reasons why. Could you please explain why.

ProudOlodo:
Is she cashew, mango, strawberry or what?

misspetit:

Well, the lead came from an inside HR dude...
I later read here that it was advertised on their LinkedIn page...
But I need to tell you that some GETS advertisements don't pop up on their career site... This I know by my guys in obajana and ibese cement factories...
.
.
Do your digging too o ...
And ask peeps that applied, the kind of revert message they got.

I actually saw mine on twitter. Following the group

@Lisimmo, can't you make the app workable on BB phones. I've tried downloading it but it can't be downloaded on BB phones.

ksstroud:
Karleone
The app is Myjob
You can download it on Google playstore

Okay.
But, I can't download it with BB. Have tried so many times. I'll look for someone to help me do it.
Thanks

ksstroud:
Well, that of the refinery could be different from this... I think there's an aptitude test app you can still use... If I remember I will tell you @chatroom...

Thanks. Anticipating your response @chatroom

Dahveydson:
I'll say still send directly to the HR.


Why do I feel this has to do with dangote's recruitment.

Well said..

I once applied for an opening through Jobberman but it failed to deliver. I had to search for the firm on google just to get to the vacancy again. This time, I was successful in my application. I've also applied for numerous positions through Jobberman and is yet to get an invite from those firms. At some points I keep wondering if they are real.

ksstroud:
All the best... Befriend your GMAT for the time being... Indiabix.com

That indiabix thing is so tiring to me.. Wish it was compiled in a book.
Do you have idea if the aptitude test will be like the refinery test we wrote (general and technical)?

Abimbex007:
HNM Dear

Same to you Dear. Better job opportunities ahead...
