Hi Wham,


I'll see what I can do but I'm not promising anything.

I just wish that some of our aspiring Pilots would manage to attend because it would spur them on, meeting all those Pilots as well as seeing all those different forms of aviation.

Hi All,


Sorry, I meant Sunday the 30th of this month.

I'll definitely be there on that day, so, if you live in the UK and not too far away from Birmingham, do come down.  You'll be amazed at what you'll see by way of the various aircraft available for pleasure flying, such as:

- FlyCar - a car that flies!  It would fly and drive to the Sahara desert on 14th Jan 2009
- Gyroplanes (my passion) such as the new Calidus
- Microlights - especially the DragonFly and the new QuikR
- Paramotors (particularly the Bailey 4-stroke and the Quattro paratrike)
- Sirocco - a single seater enclosed three-axis aircraft with a tiny 2-stroke engine
- and so on

Hope you guys can make it.  It costs £10 to get in except where you are a paid-up member of the BMAA or the BHPA.

Hi Nwamo,


First of all, I think you are lucky to have access to SAP R/3 in your workplace.

You said that you've got access to the 'software' but you didn't specifically mention as to whether you've got access to the ECC.6 training system as well, as opposed to the live SAP R/3 System. 

I take it that you meant the SAP R/3 System.  If that's the case, you must please NOT use the live R/3 System at work to train.  You don't want to mess up the system because it costs far, far too much money.  It is not to be played with, if you see what I mean.

If you have access to the ECC 6.0, then of course you can use that to train inorder to sit for, and pass the certification exams in BASIS, PM or RFID, in view of your background (which is similar to mine in some respects), in that I'm also a Systems Engineer, in addition to coming from an Accountancy background.

I'll say train into BASIS because being the Support Engineer, that job should naturally fall on your lap at your place of work (just like it fell on my Inidan friend Junaid, who was a Network Engineer at the time SAP was implemented in his organisation in New Delhi).  I presume that by saying a Support Engineer you meant Network Engineer or perhaps I'm wrong in my assumption.  If so, please correct me. 

Plant Maintenance (PM) is also another module that would suit your background, especially as you are an Electrical/Electronics Engineer.  RFID also fits in well with your background.  Radio Frequency Identification that is.

However, please ensure that you can obtain work with it by looking in the SAP recruitment pages and more specifically in your organisation.  Try and see where the SAP training that you intend to undertake would give you an opening in your organisation and capitalise on it.

I'm sure JJ and Markos would chip in and suggest what module they think would be best for you, in view of your background.




kiwi992.

Hi Markos,


Good to hear your response on the subject, especially, about the need to qualify as an SAP Certified Consultant and the all-important experience in SAP.  

You said:

well i have worked with SAP for 10 years, i am not certified yet, whiles certification is nice to get, it does not guarantee you a job these days, believe i know that much, prospective SAP employers will take experience over certification any day, back in the 90s, certification was the ''in-thing'' consultants earned an arm and a leg as someone pointed out, when the SAP market for consultants entered a difficult phase in the late 90s, early 2000s, rates went down, only the experienced with multiple implementations stayed on to top with regards to earnings

Considering the experience that you have got in SAP, you definitely do NOT need to get certified.  More so because you've got several implementations under your belt.

Yes, agreed, employers would prefer experience over certification.  It really goes without saying that experience counts the most in SAP and that in this day and age, only the highly experienced SAP Consultants get the most lucrative contracts.

However, I strongly believe that the only way that a newbie is to get hired in SAP is simply to get the certification.  Indeed, you do agree with me on this point when you said:

For entry level SAP consultants, the certification is probably essential as these days, its so hard to break into the SAP market, sort of a closed society, but once you get in, the rewards are very great

Without certification, I can not see how a newbie could get the chance of breaking into the SAP market if the one hasn't got the experience that you've amassed over the years.  As you know, SAP has matured in the West but certainly not in Nigeria, let alone in other African countries, except perhaps, South Africa.

In those days, merely being able to spell the word 'SAP' literally gets you a contract. However, those days are gone and so employers have become very choosy by going for the experienced Consultants.  Then again, there are always openings for Junior SAP Consultants, as long as the one is certified.  

As Nigerians, we MUST always encourage our people to break into those markets which we find lucrative because we can not do everything by ourselves.  Neither must we allow Westerners take those jobs from them.  If our people can not get their feet in the doorway for lack of experience, (or for whatever reason - e.g. discrimination in the West) then of course, we must encourage them to get proper training inorder to get certified so as to get the chance of breaking into that market, at least in our country, if they can not make it in the West, which I'm most certain that they would, once certified.  

I have always advocated the use of the IDES ECC 6.0 for the one's private training in addition to using the official SAP Academy training matrial.

On the other hand, the one could attend the official SAP Academy as long as the one feels that the 25-day training would suit the one.  In doing so, the one avails the one's self of the official training material, in addition to using the ECC 6.0 for the all-important hands-on training in a real-life SAP environment (as well as the opportunity to network with others in SAP), followed by the case study and certification exams at the end of the training.

Personally, that training route wouldn't suit me, going by my experiences in India, many years ago.  However, people are different and might just find the SAP Academy training most useful.  Personally, I prefer the self-teaching method over a longer period of time inorder to become proficient at the using product and thus become confident in the workplace.  This is all because I had a very bad experience, many years ago, when I attended NIIT in India for the MCSE. I went there with nothing in my head and indeed, came back with nothing in my head, due to the short training period.  In the end, I had to start all over again by setting up a network at home inorder to train myself.      

I would like to mention that one learns a lot through rigorous training and certification.  Be it customising a specific module or configuring the IMG - you learn SAP at the deepest level as opposed to learning it on the job as you go along.  More so, if you implement it by yourself.

SAP R/3 costs around £15 - £20 million. Why entrust it to someone who claims to know the product when the one does not know anything about it, except at a superficial level and perhaps as a User that just enters data into a specific module.  I certainly learnt a lot from implementing the R/3 System on my purpose-built computer whilst preparing for the certification exams.  I didn't just learn about FI/CO but SAP Project Management, BASIS, as well as Oracle database administration in one fell swoop simply because I implemented the SAP R/3 4.6C IDES on my single-tier landscape.  Now, this is NOT what a lot of functional Consultants know how to do.       

May I also mention that a lot of the so-called SAP trainers are absolute rubbish and I wouldn't go near them with a barge pole, that's for sure.  Some even claim to offer video training - what a sick joke for a product like SAP R/3 which costs millions of pounds.  It's all about having a deep knowledge of the product and most of the so-called trainers haven't got it, neither have they got any project implemntation exprience that can be verified.

It's either the self-training route following the training methodology that I advocate or attendance at an official SAP Academy is what's best.  Just forget about the cowboy trainers.  Forget them and take no notice of how much fees they charge because you simply would be wasting your time and money and would never ever, pass those demanding Consultancy Certification exams.  I just feel sorry for our brothers and sisters that are wasting their hard-earned cash with those so-called trainers.  

Finally, I'd like to add that I hope, the expression of one's opinion is not deemed by you to be an indirect attack on your person or indeed, a criticism of your views or competence. We are, afterall, here to help our fellow-Nigerians to embrace this highly worthwhile certification through a rigorous process of training and certification because this is the shortest route to being employed as an SAP Junior Consultant.  That's for sure.

I just wish that our people would soon realise it because SAP is going to be big in Nigeria and the sooner they commenced the official training, the better it would be for them.

Hi All,


Just to mention that there is the Sport and Leisure Aviation Show to be held at the NEC in Birmingham (UK), on the 29th and 30th of this month.

I will be there on Sunday the 29th.  So, if any of you pilots (or budding pilots) is interested in going, please say so. 

I'll be mostly around the gyrocopter, flying car as well as the microlight stands.  It would be nice to put faces to some of the names here.



kiwi992.

Hi All,


I am a Kalabari from Iyalla's compound in Bakana.  Oh yes!



kiwi992.

Hi JJ,



Many thanks for re-inforcing my views.

I honestly hope that our people would heed this advice and take the right steps in training to get certified.  Certification is key because it sets one apart from the others.

Nigerians are known to be very smart people and I'm totally convinced that they would pass the SAP certification exams with flying colours IF they train properly.

As you said, there are too many cowboys out there who pretend to know something about SAP and they don't know a thing.  I wish our people would come to this Forum and become wiser.

hi guys,

Last week, i was in kogi state for 2days, so i decided to visit river Niger bridge, to my greatest surprise, i found out that the solar powered street light that were installed there numbering almost 50 in number has been removed, leaving just ONE LEFT,

When coming from Abuja root, you would find one at the entrance, the rest has been removed, I really do not know who could have done such a thing, i definitely know it is not the government,

Could it be some demonic forces in the River? could it be that they don't like light? because its not easy for someone to just go and remove them, that road is always very very busy, a thief can't just go there to remove almost 49 solar powered street light,

I took some pics of it, but unfortunately, my memory card is bad, am going to be there soon again, i would take the pics and post it here. ,

who else has observed it?

You are joking aren't you?  I'm sure you are.




kiwi992.

Hi,


Yeap! 

I heard it on Channel 4 a couple of nights ago.  Unreported World - Child Wives and Pregnancy in Nigeria - Fri 28th of this month at 7.35 pm.  That would be something to watch.

Thanks for reminding us.



kiwi992.

Hey Gam,


Glad that you did. 

It's an eye-opener to the fact that these things do actually exist without any doubt whatsoever.  I don't know about vampires but spirits and aliens, yes.

The Qu'ran did open my eyes to the existence of jinns (ghosts) after my personal experiences.  So far, so good, in my house.



kiwi992.

Hi,


Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with posting those statistics in this Forum.  We are all the same. 

However, I do whole-heartedly agree with the fact that our African American brothers and sisters need to embrace education the more because that is the only way forward for one.

Not that they aren't educated, mind, but a good, solid education and nothing else matters in this world.  You can discriminate against me for the colour of my skin, refuse me the jobs, but you simply can not take away my talent and education.  In the end, I'll get to where I want because I'm educated.

Education, education, education is the mentality that was knocked into one's head, as a child in Nigeria and I'm forever grateful for that.  It's saved my arse.




kiwi992.

Hi,


Those photos remind me of my trip to Poland many years ago.

What it was, I walked in on a wedding reception that was being held at McDonalds in Katowice.  It was massive, with hardly any room to walk.  Just packed so full of people, all happy and chattering away. 

Anyway, I walked in to get some food to eat and everybody just went quiet - total silence and looking at me as if I was some kind of ghost or something.

I guess they'd never seen a black person in real life and must have thought I'd gone there to abduct them or perhaps was sent by God to bless the wedding, as I understand it, the Poles have got a black Saint.

What an experience that was, although I later on found out that the Poles are very nice people.   



kiwi992.

Hi,


Cool.  You are most welcome.

I just hope that you guys are taking this certification most seriously because it's worth every sweat and tear that you shed.  It really is. 

I go out of my way to help fellow-Nigerians in this thread because I know how good the SAP Consultancy certification is.  I really wouldn't want all those greedy Westerners going to Nigeria to do you guys out of a lucrative job.



kiwi992.

Hi,


First of all, I think you should have come here to clarify matters before going ahead to acquire the user training material or indeed, embarking on your training.  Still, knowledge is knowledge and it's not a wasted effort, even though mis-directed.

A User in SAP is simply a person who uses the SAP R/3 software as part of his or her daily work routine.  An example being a Credit Controller, Accounts Clerk or Wages Clerk.  These people haven't got any specialist knowledge of the SAP R/3 software, other than using it on a day to day basis to fulfill their role in the organisation.  They are, in most cases, trained by the Super User.

The Super User is one who has got a solid hands-on experience of using the SAP R/3 System in the workplace, over a period of years.  The one is still a user, nevertheless.  He or she is usually trained by the Consultant before go-live and through the experience of using the R/3 System over time, the one usually becomes a Super User.  The one is certainly not a Consultant, hence does not customise or configure the R/3 System.  They do, however, tend to train to become Consultants in view of their experience. 

The SAP R/3 Consultant is one who is highly skilled and knowledgeable in either a technical or functional module of the SAP R/3 System.  The one has, in most cases, had several implementations of the the R/3 System under the one's belt, say six or more.  On the other hand, one could become a Consultant by training for, and passing the SAP R/3 Consultancy certification exams in either a technical or functional module.  The one's key duties include the customisation and configuration of the R/3 System as well as user training just before go-live.  In most cases, these Consultants move on to other SAP projects around the world and indeed, command very high salaries in view of their rare skills and experience. 

Regarding the issue of job prospects for SAP User, there certainly are good job prospects out there for you, if you can show that you've got real-life experience in using a module of the SAP R/3 System.  All you need to do is to indicate that in your CV but you must please ensure that you truly have the experience of using the R/3 System in your daily work.

Hope this answers your questions.




kiwi992.

Hi Guys,


Thanks for your comments.

That said, may I just add that KALABARI and CALABAR are completely different.

I mentioned Kalabari as I am one.  We are called Kalabari, so is our language.  The Kalabari people are part of the Ijaw tribe in Bayelsa and Rivers States.  Such places as Buguma, Abonnema, Bakana, Tombia, Degema, Kula, Ke are typical Kalabari towns.  Those towns are just a few miles from Port Harcourt in the Niger Delta, Bakana being the nearest one. 

On the other hand, Calabar used to be in the South Eastern State.  I don't know which state it is now.  Towns such as Ikot Ekpene and Calabar (and so on), used to make up that state.  These belong to the Ibibio tribe (if I'm not mistaken).  Ibibio and Efik are some of the languages spoken there.

Nevertheless, a very beautiful part of the Kalabari culture and tradition.
   


kiwi992.

NB:

The New Calabar River runs right outside my town, Bakana whilst the River Sombrero runs outside Abonnema.  Both of these rivers empty themselves in the Atlantic Ocean.

The European slave traders coined the name 'New Calabar' to mean Kalabari towns and villages.

Hi All,



I watched the so-called child witches and wizards of Nigeria last night, on Channel 4 TV.

All I can say is that this could only be allowed to take place in Nigeria and nowhere else in the world.  It is a disgrace that such child cruelty occurs in the Pentecostal Church, all in the name of God.

One 'pastor' in that church in Akwa Ibom State openly admitted that he had killed 110 kids because they were 'witches' and 'wizards'!  The other person, a priestess by the name of whatever, who happened to have made a film about how to get rid of witches (as well as written a book on it), has 150 Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria and openly preaches the branding of innocent kids as witches and wizards, and the need to 'exorcise' them.  Mad fools!!

Those innocent kids are being brutalised and killed or chucked out of their homes simply because some demented 'pastor' brands them as witches and wizards.

Tell you the truth, after having watched that film last night, I feel so ashamed to be a Nigerian.  It is madness out there.  It really is and the worst part being that not even the police care about what's happening.  They just turn a blind eye to it all.  The perpetrators of those crimes are not even being arrested.     

I'm sure that the Moslems would never do that.  Never!

What's the Christianity in all of this?  How can a so-called pastor single out children and brand them as witches, only to be severed with matchetes or killed or maimed.     

Nigeria is definitely in the dark ages in view of such practises and I hope that the Federal Government would do something about protecting those innocent kids.  Yes, there's supposed to be a Children's Act, yet, the state of Akwa Ibom never adopted it until when those kids and their benefactor (a 29-year old English guy) demonstrated outside the State Governor's residence.

Shame on the PENTECOSTAL CHURCH and any other church that practices such evil acts in the name of God.  Shame on you bloody demented lot.  Shame on you for branding innocent kids as witches and wizards.

You go as far as to say that deaths occurring in the family and oil spillages in the Niger Delta are the doings of the so-called child 'witches' and 'wizards'.  You bloody lot must be sick in your pumpkin heads.  Must be! 

May all of you burn in hell.  Oh yeah, and this goes to any Pentecostal Church member in this Forum whose Church practices such evil and unholy act on innocent children or on anybody for that matter.




kiwi992.

Hi All,


My people still practise that custom 'til today - the Kalabaris of the Niger Delta.  However, I'm not quite sure about the Calabar people but we certainly do it.

When a woman has her first child, she has to go into the fattening room at her husband's family home.  She stays there for three months, and gets fattened up.  She never has to do anything for herself except to breast-feed the child. 

During this period, everything is done for her by members of the family.  She's fed lots of yam and onunu (yam and riped plantain pounded together in oil), fish and so on.

After the three-month period, it's time for her to leave the fattening room.  Inorder to celebrate this momentous event, the female elders in the family then dress her up in very old traditional clothes that span several generations (these are always boxed up after use), such as 'india' (wrapper) and silk.   She's then donned in ancient jewellery especially big, pink cowry, all over, including her ankles and wrists.

The wrapper is only tied up to her knees, and indeed, this is the only time that a Kalabari woman has to show her knees in public.

They then give her a saucer and a walking stick with which she has to go round the town twice a day, for three days, collecting alms.  She's accompanied by members of her husband's compound, who are singing right behind her, as she goes to every compound in the town.

After the three days, she then has to perform a dance for a further three days, in front of an audience, both mornings and evenings, in the compound square, so as to bring the event to an end.

This ceremony is only performed on the birth of her first child but not the rest.




kiwi992.

NB:

This was how it was when I lived at home back in 1974.  I don't think the culture has changed because culture and tradition never die.  Evolve, yes, but not die.

Hi Gamine,


Thanks.

I've checked-out that Orphic World thread.  It makes a fascinating reading.  No doubt, there are many unexplained phenomenon going on out there.  It's always best to keep an open mind to things.

One thing for sure is that we are definitely not the only ones in this universe.  There are jinns, aliens, UFO's and all what not.

Do refer to my posting at the Muslim sub-Forum entitled:  'Muslims: What's Your Favourite Ayah or Surah in the Qu'ran?' (page 10).



kiwi992.

Cool. 

Sorry I didn't know that was what you meant.


kiwi992.

Hi Gamine,

Gamine:
How come its only in america, you people dey see Alien and Vampire

I don't know what to say about your question.

Perhaps the type of society and its practices have got a lot to do with it - I don't know.  Indeed, it could be due to something about the particular individual witnessing these things.

Please refer to my posting in the Muslim sub-Forum re which surat one likes best.  I made an important posting about spirits (jinn) whistling as well as speaking in my right ear and how a verse in the Quo'ran helped me get rid of them in my house.  This is all strange but very true.  

That said, I meant Manchester, UK.  The home of Manchester United football team.



kiwi992.

Hi All,



Old as this thread might be, I feel that I need to contribute to it.

Here's a reply that I posted in Yahoo Answers seven months ago, about the existence of aliens  (http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080403045259AAFQPx2). 

Make of it what you like but please don't question my integrity because I have no need to lie to anybody.  Here it is:

QUESTION:

DO YOU BELIEVE IN ALIENS?


MY ANSWER:


I don't just believe in aliens - I HAVE SEEN ONE in the form of a UFO. Believe it or not!!

This was back in Jan 1996, at about 3.30 a.m. on my way back home from a night-out in Sale, near Manchester, UK.

I remember that they were showing the American War of Independence (a series) on Channel 4 TV.  It must have been around the 3rd or 4th of January, 1996.

Here's an account of what exactly happened:

I was returning home from a night-out in Sale and driving along a slip road, so as to join the motorway (M62) next to Urmston. I'd just crossed the roundabout that leads to Pattington where Manchester United's training ground is located.

As I joined the slip road from the Pattington roundabout (with a view to joining the M62 motorway near Urmston), I saw this massive AMBER LIGHT across the field from me on my left, next to an electricity pylon, close to a farmhouse.

What attracted my eyes to the object was the ENORMOUS SIZE of the amber light.

So, I pulled up my car, then got out and stood there, watching this massive amber light for about three minutes, from acros the slip road.

I must stress that I NEVER ever, saw anything inside the object or indeed anybody for that matter - just the big amber light parked next to the electricity pylon.

As I stood there watching the object, a private hire taxi joined the slip road so, I started flagging him down whilst at the same time, pointing at the object across the field, with my right hand. Needless to say, the taxi driver never stopped and instead, just drove off and joined the motorway and headed towards Urmston.

Not quite ten seconds after the taxi had driven off, the object flew straight up, made a sharp right turn and then flew straight up at the MOST INCREDIBLE SPEED!!! There was NO ENGINE NOISE whatsoever, just an incredible flying speed without any engine noise.

At this point, I jumped into my car and chased it, joining the M62 motorway towards Urmston. The idea behind my chasing it wasn't to catch it (obviously not, as if I could!), BUT to see which way it was heading.

It just flew off and disappeared into the distant horizon.

Please note: the flying pattern above (up-right-up) is called a dog-leg in flying.

In the evening of that day (Sunday), I went to my usual salsa classes at La Tasca in Manchester and told my friends about what I'd seen early that morning. They then suggested that I informed the Manchester Evening News about it. However, I failed to do so because I felt privileged to have seen the object.

That was the end of the matter, as far as I was concerned until a few years later when North West Tonight (TV program) reported that a lot of people had reported sighting UFO's along the motorways in the North West.

On hearing this, I plucked up courage and rang up the farm house next to the field where I saw the object (this has now been turned into a stables).

When I spoke to the owner of the stables, he told me that a lot of people had mentioned sighting similar objects there, as well. He said that the field must be their (UFO) base because of the electricity pylon.

His advice to me was 'KEEP IT TO YOURSELF'

Now, you make what you like of this.

Hi LittleB,


Many thanks for the suggestion.

As I said, I won't be able to devote myself to the Moslem religion as you guys have done.  My wayward Western lifestyle is simply not suited to it.   

I think I'll just get myself an English Quo'ran at some point and read it whenever I can.  That'll do me.



kiwi992.

Hi,


Coming from a relational database background, I can say that SAP Enterprise Portal would suit you just fine.

That said, please remember all what I've said in my previous postings about databases and the SAP R/3 software. 

Good luck to you.



kiwi992.

Hi Frizy,

Frizy:
@Kiwi
Since you acknowledge that Allah's verse protected you, why don't you join the religion of Allah? That will be a great option. I said once on nairaland that I used to listen to music, I stopped eventually and whenever I listen now, I don't feel comfortable. It's just like I feel very dizzy. However, the Koran as a whole enhances concentration and thoughtfulness. Listening to something with all kind of harmonic sounds disturbs in mind. But regular music listeners wont acknowledge that, in fact they don't like listening to the Koran. So one is of God the other, Satans.

Yeah, you are quite right there.

However, to tell you the truth, I don't think that I'll be able to devote myself to the religion as most of you guys do.

Right now, I'm just being grateful to Allah for affording me the protection from jinn.  Everything in my house is cool and I've also managed to memorise the English translation of Ayatul Kursi.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Hi,


Sorry about the late response.  I haven't been here for a while.

Actually, there is an industry solution for telecommunications by SAP.  It's called SAP for Telecommunications.  Maybe you ought to look into that module more than anything else, in view of your background. 

SAP NetWeaver is about programming the SAP R/3 software to meet an organisation's specific needs.  In order to pursue this module, you'll need to come from a programming background.  It used to be called ABAP.

SCM would suit someone from a business background.

As I've always maintained, it's always best to pursue the SAP module that best matches your academic or professional background.

Hope this helps.



kiwi992.

Hi All,



As a Kalabari with friends and relatives in Abonnema and Degema, I'm really shocked to hear this sad news.  Very sad indeed because that's a most serious offence. 

That said though, we all need to calm down and step back before blaming it on MEND because we really do not know who actually committed these acts of madness.

It could have been anybody, for all I know, just like Quota rightly said.  It really could, simply to discredit MEND.  If it was MEND, then all I can say is that I'm very disappointed with them because that brings a different twist to the genuine struggles of the peoples of the Niger Delta.  I hope it wasn't them.  I really hope not.




kiwi992.

Hi All,


As a Nigerian, I wouldn't say that I hate the Nigerian accent.  Hating it is similar to hating my people and that can never happen.

The problem is that the Nigerian accent is very strong and it's hard to understand what our people are saying, most of the time.  One really has to listen hard.  Indeed, this holds true with people from other African countries as well.  It's either that our people speak too fast or are inaudible because they are rushing to finish their sentences.

If only they could speak slowly and pronounce the words in syllables, that would be great because majority do speak excellent English.  By the way, Nigerians and the Irish have the strongest accent.

As a kid arriving newly in the UK many years ago, I had to attend elocution classes inorder to 'polish' my accent.

None other than these from the Third Marine Commandoes:

Hi Briz,


Yes, I'm afraid so - BASIS it is, with your background.  Please note that BASIS is now called Enterprise Portal.

Do remember that the administration of the database that runs at the back-end of the R/3 System such as SAPDB, SQL, Oracle or DB2 is only a tiny fraction of the work involved in BASIS.  The implementation and administration of the R/3 System is what you would mostly be required to do.

Please refer to page one of this thread and the posting by A-40, just below mine.
