leo2008: Hello friends
I don't mind your view on my situation, I have a b.Tech in civil engr with a 2.2 class division, I was adviced that to be able to enter the oil nd gas industry I should do some courses relating to the industry,am on the verge of paying 350k for a two months training in pipeline welding (argon welding or T-fillet welding)in benek school of engineering phc.I want to know if doing this course will increase my chances of getting a job, if it won't please which profesional course do you think will help me so I won't waste the money cause it took me close to a year to save it...tanks 4 ur anticipated replies.....(Pls ignore d typos...tying frm a fone)

That you graduated with a B.Tech doesn't mean you're a technician. The course you're going for would prepare you for a job done by artisans and contractors/contract workers, and won't be a leverage for a direct staff position for engineers/technicians (that's if you don't mind) in a major Oil & Gas coy.

I would advise you to look for training institutes that deliver specialized training with regards to construction & construction mgt., environmental sciences (soil studies etc) and pipeline construction/maintenance (Cathodic protection/pigging)/materials (HDPE/GRE/GRVE/SS/CS).. These courses would serve you better instead in your search.

Also, Oil&Gas safety courses (any engrg/science discipline can perform as a safety officer).

Good luck

If you use an IPhone, I suggest Truecaller app. If its an android phone you use, search google marketplace for an equivalent.
Hope this helps.

That is understandable for these banks, however, FBN is just like this and pathetic! Ndin gbati gbatiii

I don't understand what you meant by it being ok for some banks to practice tribalism but not for one in particular! By the way, I'm in no way justifying this act as its one of the cancers killing this country.

Keneking: i hear they only recruit their own people mostly in the west. Those in the East always act as middle management and their own on top of them as boss. :

Have you been to Diamond, Zenith & Fidelity Banks ... Dude, this happens in Naija unfortunately

oyb:

guy, all that one na tori. be with a company with twenty years, if you don't meet HR requirements nothing go happen.

Not really.

Due to high level community pressure, contract staff that are indigenes of the host community are sometimes converted to full staff after spending donkey years. Mind you, this happens rarely as I've sent it happen only once in 12 years. Also, just a select few of the eligible indigenes were converted (run things I guess)

Nice Movie plot .

I wish it was true though, I'll lead a pack of guys to get the real Torres... Mehn, Chelsea is suffering

You can run both programs (HND & BSc.) concurrently depending on the location of the schools.

I had classmates in the University that did both together and they ended up with 2nd Class Upper.

!!!

This is so comic... people would only appreciate it if they've seen the movie.

Nice write up (Please, can you clean up on the double/triple/quadruple paragraph pasting?? Tanx).

By the way, I love the movie, classic Tarantino

I was the first person to point out that the OP is more like trying to scam people, because he never was and isn't a shell staff. I didn't pick it up at first when he posted his supposed shell email addy, because I'd advised him to remove it immediately but on a closer look I found the supposed official email addy is not in Shell email format.
I know the email address formats for Shell, Mobil, Addax, Total and a few other multinationals because it helps to clear your box of unwanted emails.

As for BlueDiva's (what a shame that she supports Chelsea) and Kitty-Kat's arguments, really there shouldn't be any. I remember in Kitty-Kat's earlier post when she said the gate-man thing was a one-off and she can't replicate that stunt again (I think I've been in the industry long enough to know that anything can happen, even in multinationals).

BlueDiva, please advise prospective employees how they can better brighten their chances of making it into the industry (since you know so much ).

After my initial clash with the OP, I'd decided to sit and watch how the drama plays out but was encouraged by Kitty_Kat and had decided to contribute later.

Now my advise to people wanting to get in:
1. You don't have to know anyone, but if you do, better for you because the person can coach you on what to do and how you do it too (Nice one Kitty_kat)
2. Do lots of sample test questions, SHL/Prometric/PSI/Advance Measurement professionals do have practice psychometric, personality assessments, and performance management tests that O&G majors look out for.
If you make it to 2nd stage of their tests, your attitude assessment has started from that point and anything you do or say might/might not work for you or against you, so watch yourself.
3. Don't be yourself, be who the company needs you to be. Practice on being this person too until it becomes you.
4. Be confident, dress well, talk well and don't be too argumentative (always pick your points! SMH @ BlueDiva)
For assessment/interview
5. Be good in your field/discipline but its also an advantage that you know a little bit of everything else (seriously not a little bit, you should know something about other fields, not just technical stuff if you're a technical person and vice versa for non-technical people too)
6. Be constructive in your points, don't just talk, make sure it matters to topic of discussion
7. Be smart and delegate (do it in a way the person working for you doesn't even know he/she is doing it and let them be glad to do it) - this is important, leadership things
8. Please, these questions have always come up in all the interviews I've attended: Give us examples of leadership roles you've held and how do you overcome challenges when they arise? think about them long and hard before going for any interview.
9. Manage your time

I know my post is a tad long but saw the e-missles flying and thought I better do this now or I never will. To all prospective O&G workers, Good luck in your quest for that eldorado job.

jmoore: if it is real congrats but if you are telling us fiction may millions of mosquitoes feed on you.

This is uncalled for!!! Haba, did she force you to read her post

Congratulations Sweetlemon!

So he expected to get an award from his government for his actions

He shouldn't have tried to serve two masters. Heck, he used Pakistan resources to achieve America's aim!!!
If he and his handlers had thought through their actions, himself and entire family should be staying in an American suburb right now

chikeorji123:

If she's my wife then l ill first seat her down and have one on one chat,details her the consequences of her action..then make a move and chat with other man if someone else do such to his wife how will he fill?..But if she's continue divorce straight..engaging other man on fight?..never..

I'm not sure you're married but if you're, Mehn you dey try oooo !

For me, if it were my GF, I wouldn't even sweat it!!! tired already

But my WIFE!!! heaven may come down

4llerbuntu:

PERHAPS U SHOULD READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE COMMENTING. its not like this is WAEC or JAMB. Comprehension skills are vital.

in the op this was said:


which part of the highlighted do u need explained to u?

More like you should reason before typing because it seems your brain cells need flexing ...

What part of battery degradation can't you comprehend!!! You keep a phone as back-up in a bag and 2 years down the line you try to put it on and voila, it doesn't work.

Unless they're using nano-batteries as posited by imperiouxx(which would have been greatly stressed in their cosmetic sale write-up), there aren't AA batteries in the market that would last 15 years without use.

Also note the title of the thread and correlate it with the write-up and posters comments before rushing to type.

imperiouxx:

There are nanobatteries used in missiles, drones, electronic cars, computer memory systems etc that won't discharge until their uses are deployed. That means while on shelf, they are not discharging and after used they stop discharging and they charge almost fully within a min.....those can last up to 12years(from their research). I studied nanobatteries for one of my seminars. Check mphasetech supernanobatteries here http://www.mphasetech.com/technology.html

Hmmm! Interesting.. Thanks for the clarification.

I believe the phone is crap!

Talk time is 10 hours, a solid Nokia phone (not smart phone oo) will give you that.

The manufacturer is just being clever, unless they developed a new kind of battery, standard NiMH & Li-ion batteries will lose about 1% of their power per day when they are allowed to just sit.

Most battery manufacturers would tell you their batteries can hold their charge for up to 1 year, but one should note that temperature greatly affects battery life, therefore having this phone that uses standard AA batteries in Nigeria (Heat & Humidity) would amount to keeping another phone for thieves to steal.

OP, what are you writing about

What's the invention, how does it function and what form of energy does it produce?

The news is a hoax.

Always check before you post.

Nice.. God bless you Yobo.

Guy U dey craze ooh, see as U dey help pesin calculate em money. I dey smell jealousy from ur armpit.

Yep I'm jealous and driven to be better than his father. They don't have two heads on their necks

Paulipopor:
did you consider other possible earnings that could accrue to him as a result of his performance in both shows. Methinks its a good investment. N1.65m is not bad. Imo.

If by possible earnings, you mean goodwill that would accrue for honoring his contract, then it's a wise investment. As long as he ( Davido) churns out hits, and organizers know he won't bail on them, they will always keep calling him. More money for him in the long run.

stpat1:

yes. found someone very very suitable, but don't know the best way to go about it now cos I am scared of getting too emotionally attached to the person and at the same time don't want to let her go.

Story don get k-leg so early Or is it d poundo sessions dats making you cray
She might be reading this and I really don't expect you to answer this if you're serious in your mission.
Frack it, humor me

Not a good business move by the Father if it really happened.

How much would Davido get for each show? 1 - 2M at most, therefore he gets 2 - 4M for both shows. To charter a Light or small jet plane that sits 7 - 10 people (I guess its for him and his HKN gang alone), the old boy would have to pay close to $3.5k per hour (flight hour fees, cost of catering(?? na water dem serve am ooo), permits which are often required when a business jet is chartered for an international travel, overnight fees(??) and landing fees). With an approximate round trip time to Ghana 3hrs (includes clearing/waiting time), we're already talking about $10.5k which is equivalent to NGN1.65M.

So how much is left for the gang to share!

Anyway, he's a billionaire and needs to spend like he's one.

Will the glo BB work on iphone! Pls need to know as etisalat is killing me

mosun_ade: looks like you havent had s.ex in ages?

^^^ I guess this should be it. OP needs good shagging, preferably before new year ..

The new CEO of BB is really making moves. From positive reviews of the BB10 to this, mehn, the guy wants to drag BB back into reckoning.

الملكي فوق الله:

Absolutely Sir.

With the recent events that have gone on near my Local Schools....This is Nothing.

I would take a Lesbian Bulldyke perverted principal over Grown Men Shooting up children at school any day

You Nigerians are Lucky.

Especially the Male Students who were fortunate enough to shake the principals hand later that Evening

Seriously, you're a biggg foooool

Got the news alert too. Heard its on Saharareporters.

Things are happening in this country.

Now, this reminds of a certain movie & game series called Resident Evil where scientists were trying to modify the human genome by working on the T-cell, which ended up as the dreaded T-Virus. Hmmm!! so HIV might be a cure to cancer? but what hybrid disease will it produce (T-Virus )..

Anyways, lets welcome the real life ALICE (let em watch her before she starts flying )
