It’s not part of my training in over 30 years in fortune 100 companies in the USA to spoonfeed failed applicants. I worked in entertainment, healthcare, technology industries.

Not sure where you’re all getting this lame idea.

My job is to focus on selecting the right candidate, board him/her and grow my team.

This sense of entitlement is repugnant.

Which sense of entitlement are you talking about? It is mere courtesy to provide feedback to a candidate, in order to notify him if he was successful or not, after an interview has been concluded.

I have seen many multinationals do it, both at home and abroad. If you don't, then maybe your own training was faulty.

I don't want to exchange words with you, so abeg swerve.....

UnitedAlliance:
It’s not my job as a hiring manager to coach or give feedback to candidates.

I’m looking for serious professionals that are looking for real work not practicing interviews.

Again, sense of entitlement to feedback and recognition for transportation money.

The part in bold refers. It is your job to give feedback. A lot of foreign companies do it, both at home and abroad. It is only Nigerian-owned companies that fail to do so. It is a bad habit.

philip0906:
Because that’s what pays the bills. In the western world where they are “not so obsessed” with money, they have lots of support-government et al.

In Nigeria, you’re on your own and you have bills to pay.

Well said. Thank you for hitting the nail on the head.

auntysimbiat:
Learn to start little.. 30k job is sumtin.. Dat won't stop you from looking out for other jobs..

Comparing wot dey pay in UK to nigeria is none of ur biz..

Even in some companies in nigeria, they pay some people high and some people low... same job role and same qualification ..

30k is slavery. It will not cover his transport, feeding or medical care (if he falls ill) during the month, in a city like Lagos or Abuja or Port-harcourt. He/she is a graduate, not a secondary school drop out. Pls we need to stop asking people to swallow the kind of rubbbish that will make them puke.

If they knew they were only going to offer 30k per month, why did they drill him with all those research questions and tough tests?

Why subject him to such an elaborate screening procedure, only to offer him peanuts?

peterjulius00:
the dream is a nice one but will the fare price suit even the common man like me and you out there? i support the vision for gboat thing toooo.... nice work and good team work to Go families.

You talk am well. The boat rides should be affordable and efficient, otherwise the whole scheme would be dead on arrival.

TheGameYard:
This is one is not targeted at the masses. I'm not saying it will fail but if you want to expand further, it should be targeted at the grassroots, cos that's where the money is. Gokada was a success because it offers relatively cheap and safe ride . 100k for a boat ride?
Please think it through once again

On two occasions when I got stuck in a 3-hour traffic jam in Lagos, I parked my car and hailed a Gokada, in order to get to my important meetings on the island.

That was 5 months ago. I have refused to use them again, since then. Most of the Gokada drivers I have met, have very bad body odour.

You can imagine sitting close to them on the bike, and inhaling the BO all the way to your destination. No, thank you. It is such a turn-off.

Shepherd00:
Wait, you thought it was easy to see Jesus? Ask the woman with the issue of blood, or Jarius the Centurion.

Ask the man whose friends had to break the roof of another person's house, just to see Jesus.

Dey dia. Jesus hard to see pass Trump.

Jesus was available but not accessible just like that.

zoedew:
Wrong! Zachaeus though short in stature and thus better able to squeeze through the crowd to access Jesus had to climb a tree to do so! Folks had to remove the roof of a house to access Jesus to get for their person. Bartimaeus had to scream himself silly shouting the cognomen of Jesus to access Him and even at that was told to shut up but he wouldn’t until he got the attention of Jesus who stood still to attend to him. I could go on and on. The real reason Jesus would usually tell recipients of the miracles he performed to not noise it about is to avoid being mobbed by the crowd ever seeking a miracle. Want contemporary stuff? Recently at Akure a Christian lady prayed for some crippled fellow and leper who received healing instantaneously. But for Akure Chiefs who rushed her to their residence close by the Deji of Akure Palace where the incident happened she would have been mobbed. FYI the crowd insisted on seeing her so she could pray for them threatening to pull down the house where she was. The police had to be called in to take her away. That’s the way it goes! You do not take your personal safety lightly just so you won’t get criticised!

Wow! This is deep.

phadriz:
You must be very stupid for calling me a clown, we can always disagree to agree.
If you don't have manner on how to approach people in public space, you better search for one. omo ale.

@ researcher of the vital info thanks.

No sir, the stupidity you just mentioned, lies in you. Everyone can see it. And since you have decided to refer to yourself as a bastard or an 'Omo ale' as you put it, who am I to disagree with you? Continue calling yourself foul names. It suits you.

phadriz:
ThanKs for the info. Do you think DPR has such time?
Most of laws in Nigeria are just there for formality when DPR only go to petrol stations for kolanut majorly. What is the percentage of SR with license compare to those with none. I can tell your authoritatively that over 50% of gas plant don't have it they only bribe. The major problem they have is the fiscal planning stuff which is not easy and takes time in most state to get due to the attitude of public servant. Once again thanks.

Oga, stop this your fake argument. It is people like you, who like breaking the law that argue blindly like this. You have been told the right thing to do.

It is up to you, to follow it or not.

The day DPR wakes up to start clamping down on roadside gas retailers without licenses, it is people like you that will cry the loudest, and insult them to high heavens. Yet, you are the one that will be at fault, for not doing the right thing.

I have seen DPR conducting inspection of gas plants in my area before, and I know it is not a joke.

If you like...... continue to make noise there. The day they decide to penalise defaulters, just don't come and complain here to anybody, because you have refused to follow the right procedure. Chikena.

Meself...na di same thing I dey suspect. This world is full of wicked people. May she rest in peace.

Are you sure you can achieve the same quality of this kitchen, as shown in the picture?? Hmmn....

Timtol:
But I don't see any good reason why someone will build a small bungalow on such plot in a need of Raft or Pile foundation.
Well done.

If the area is sandy or waterlogged, you definitely need a raft foundation. It is not about the size, but the structure.

It is necessary for the foundation of the building to be strong, and stand the test of time. It also prevents underground water from seeping into the building, and destroying it

raymondFirstborn:
With a raft foundation (4board raft which applies in most cost cases)

would cost an extra N2m.

Budget N12m total

you can contact me on 09056082348(call & whatsapp)
Raymondfubara@gmail.com

for more info.

but might cost less ,depending on how waterlogged your site is

Ok, thanks for the info. I need to do some financial calculations, before I contact you. Can you accept payment based on milestones?

Or must everything be paid upfront?

raymondFirstborn:
what does N6m cover?

foundation to finishing.(full cost)

What is your time frame for building this bungalow from start to finish?

If there was a contest for "Worst Performing Governor," then Yahaya Bello would win it hands down. No question.

murphybo:
For the records let me use this medium to educate those arguing above, you can register your gas retail outlet with DPR and it falls under category D where you have 500kg to 1000kg equivalent which is approximately 10 to 20 50kg cylinders, the fact that DPR are not disturbing you does not mean you shouldn't get your business registered under them for due process, and the requirments for the liscence is
1. CAC certificate of your business
2. Fire safety certificate
3. 2 fire extinguisher
4. Location devoid of welder, mechanic, or area prone to mechanical or electrical hazzard
5. Shop must be ventilated
6. You shouldn't be transferring from one cylinder to other(this you will keep transfer pipe) off during inspection
7. Registration is 5k payment through Remitta
8. LiCence renewal 5k for 2 years
9. If all criteria is meant then you have no issues with your business.
Mind you there is a treat to clamp down some gas shops termed illegal, what makes yours legal? Before now till now no issues if u reg or not but, future?
This is my 5th year in the business so I no what am saying not dem say dem say, besides if you in kano patronise me at address below, any questions free to whatspp me on 08034681086

May God bless you 30 times on weekdays, and 200 times on Sundays!

This was the information I was searching for. The licenses used to be done manually in the past, for gas retailers, but then the whole process was automated and put online.

My neighbour did not understand the new process, and since his license expired 2-3 years ago, he has been at crossroads, unable to renew the document, because he does not understand the new process.

Please where is that clown phadriz that was arguing with me earlier, claiming that gas retailers do not need a DPR license?

Amakavula:
Looking for jobs isn't easy, but Nigeria takes this to an insane levels.

Nigerian HR are funny and can be amazingly annoying. Most act like politicians , drunk with power.

So here is a comparison between sensible Abroad HR and the mad Nigerian ones.

Amakavula:
More crazy HR

It is mostly in these local Nigerian, one-man, SME businessess, that you find such things. The owners of such one-man firms, often feel like they are mini-gods. At the end of the day, they are still the ones that would owe you for several weeks, and would not pay. Mtcheeew.

You will not be visited with this level of disrespect, in a multinational company.

phadriz:
You that is tranferring from 50KG cylinders now talking of 1000KG license. the license is meant for tanks and not cylinders. i insist

Oga, a license is NOT only required for large storage tanks, but also for retailing of gas cylinders. Go and check so that you can educate yourself. Ask any DPR official. The type for storage tanks is different and more expensive, than the one for storage and sale of gas cylinders. For your information, 1,000 kg is only 80 cylinders of 12.5kg.

phadriz:
Either true or false, go and do the survey and see how many SR that has DPR approval. Do you think DPR have time for petty biz when they yet to do due diligence on main plants.

Am not here for argument. He can do other research on his own.

Stop arguing about what you do not know. Ignorance is easily cured by getting access to the right information. Retailers of gas cylinders require a DPR license. My neighbour used to sell gas cylinders and he had one, which expired few years back. He has been trying to renew it. I have seen it before, in black & white.

phadriz:
As a street retailer you don't need any license from DPR. License is meant for those with skid tank and above. I work with one of the major gas offtaker and my wife has a gas shop as street retailer.

Not true. You still need a license from DPR even as a roadside retailer. The license covers storage and sale of just 1,000 kg of cooking gas. It falls under a different category.

If DPR decides to clamp down on roadside retailers that lack licenses, then you would know. Pls do your research well

murphybo:
Wetin happen for retail outlet?
Its less than #10,000 for its category, D

Are you sure??!

Rossonero:
Not true. You have just 3 categories of DPR license and the highest is 250k which is the special category.

There is one that covers the storage if 1,000kg of cooking gas. How much is that license?

raymondFirstborn:
what does N13m cover

Foundation

Blockwork

Decking

Roofing

What about piping and conduit electrical works? Is soakaway cost included?

lets help you with your building design

Hi, if you were to build this bungalow with a raft foundation, how much would it cost? Can you give a rough estimate?

Prado 2018 Rear Light

This looks nice. How much is it?

Dolapo123456789:
Mr laudate I don’t Give pressure or force people to buy my cars... I never said you should call at all cost you can easily message me either on phone or WhatsApp an mind you there a lot of time waster as well.

No sir, I will not WhatsApp you or call you. I have explained the reasons already. If you are not ready to be transparent about the price, then it is your call. I can get the same model from elsewhere without stress. Good day.

olajide8:
You can only have a competition, when the product you are selling or the service you are buying has similar alternatives, coke and Pepsi local rice and uncle Bens and not one in which the product is monopolistic, oil is oil, you can only have competition in the area of the services they deliver, but you cannot control the price -

1 you are right that it would bring in foreign investor who want to make profit, now, ask yourself this question who wants to invest infrastructure refineries where their policy can change over night?

-2. all someone like otedola has to do is, go to Venezuela import more petrol at a cheaper rate and sell at a premium why waste time building a refinery

3. If our govt sells a barrel at the international bench mark price without subsidizing, cost of production, would the pump price change?

4 .Our problem has always been we nigerians and corruption e.g we are building roads for billions whereas countries smaller then ours benin republic are building the same roads for less, everyone that gets into public office is not patriotic enough, they believe it's my turn to steal from nigeria

5. Jobs would not be created, because all the smart kids on the block have to do to maximise profit by reducing cost of labour, labour always takes the brunt- so importation is cheaper 6. In other words things would continue

See all you postulated are textbook effects of what should be, but in our nigeria it is not like that, if it were ptf would work price of petrol would be uniform all over nigeria.

Any advice the IMF and world Bank gives is a pointer to what a country should not do - they said float our currency we did a partial flotation and our naira hit N500, whereas bubu stood against the floating of the naira, people said he was not an economist the economist said it was the best idea after garri, he listen, and we now know where we are - N365, he had to rush back and peg the currency again,

As we speak IMF and world Bank are still insisting we should float our currency, even the US today doesn't float their currency, they peg their interest rates, till tomorrow

Europe is fighting China for not floating it's currency which directly affects the cost of production, now where are the economist in nigeria that all where singing devalue float the naira, today they are no where to be found, the blame for the increased value of a bag of rice is squarely put on the table of the president

Na true word, you talk. I feel sorry for those who are still swallowing IMF's prescriptions. Such prescriptions are a recipe for disaster.

Zimbabwe increased fuel prices twice this year by over 150%, in order to abolish subsidy. What happened? Inflation skyrocketed to 75.8%, and cost of goods as well as services, became unaffordable.

The average Zimbabwean cannot afford to buy the fuel, even when they get it in the petrol stations. Their currency keeps depreciating by the day, all thanks to the asinine IMF/World Bank policies they adopted.

Dolapo123456789:
&laudate please message or call even WhatsApp us on any information you need if you’re really serious 08164676942

No sir. I will not make that call. If this deal is genuine, what stops you from being open and transparent by listing all the details here online?

Things like price, mileage, VIN etc should be made public. Then a prospective customer can look at his budget, and decide if it is worth his time, or not.

I have been on NL for years, and so I have learnt not to waste my time making calls, to people who cannot be upfront about the full details of what they are selling.

Once you call them, you start getting all sorts of unsolicited calls and stuff, as they start putting pressure on you to buy.

For this reason, I will not make any call to a seller who cannot disclose all the relevant info, upfront.
