Samkeniyy:
Gaskiya. The practice test didn't help issues at all. That OPQ is probably the most controversial decisions ever. You can't even tell if you perform well at all.

My brother na so, make person just get an open mind jare... Things may go either way

Just wondering how you guys that took the practice test is feeling can't imagine eating up my mb on top of that practise test and the exam was still like hell... It's weekend jare, let catch some fun......PwcCrown17 where is my orijin zero o

We are seeing the work Fash is doing based on 2016 budget, we pray God gives you the grace to complete and kick-start that of 2017 budget successfully.

TheBatman:
don't bother yourself with that practice test, the real test na die. That was the hardest personality test I don write, at a point I was like screw this.

At a point lying became complicated, Some options are too close to damn choose between them. Doing the practice self will give some people confidence say dem go ace am, but if one no dey careful, at a point one will lose confidence during d real thing. But omo pwc dey try sha o, those questions no be seresere at all

TheBatman:
Amen, they should have made this OPQ the first stage.

Man never say never, don't quit yet....

Jazmiynne:
Yaaaayyy!!!! It's a success mail #dancingShoki #OyaShakitiBobo

****

Congratulations to everyone who receives a success mail..
Journeying to possibilities with Sahara..

To everyone who recieves a regret mail...
Still journey into possibilities even if not with Sahara, either you find it or you create it

CONGRATULATIONS.... Wishing you the best in the remaining hurdles ahead....

Jazmiynne:
Indeed. The individual would still love weekends cos everyone loves some rest and time off. But the excess hype of: let it come let it come, that's the craze would not be there.

But then again.... What is responsible for the crappy nature of the general work life of an average Nigerian worker?

Most people are working for the money not for the passion, even if you work in a place outside your field, if you create some interest and passion in it, there is no way you will get bored.

edunho:
na so oo....my brother....since na weekend, make we talk about how we go turn up....so bro, how u wan do ur own turn up dis wknd?

No owambe things this weekend, will just watch TV, watch few matches, play games, go to church and get some lovely sleep this weekend, next week will be a long one, so need all d rest I can get.

edunho:
no matter how much u enjoy ur work, u will still look forward to weekends.....except ur d type dat likes work n has no social life

That's true though

edunho:

Omo just check am now o, like I say in life you win some and lose some.... Better opportunities ahead... In the meantime congrats to those that made it, let still make the thread lively, whyl you gist us about the process as it goes, on one side we will keep talking about issues like we started yesterday.

Jazmiynne:
Lolz hahahahahahaaa I literally rolled my eyes at this...here's why: it did kinda sound a little patronising


****
About TGIF though..

Mayoor15 do you think that the work environment affects people's anticipation of TGIF?
That's like if we had more decent work places/environment, would people still so eagerly look forward to prison break into the weekend?

Yea that's true, if you enjoy you work you sometimes wish Friday's don't come

Don't take life too seriously, cos you will never get out of it alive.... TGIF

PwcClown17:
Dat my boo(A pack of E-Orijin Zero) ....... By the time you are done.. you won't know road to your hood again.

lol..... which one be E-orijin zero again

PwcClown17:
Mayoor15, let the practise test continue... Dem no go answer you. But the truth is the practise test is a normalative form of Shl assessment while the real exam is an ipsalative form where you picked a forced choice from ranges of attribute which is not easy to defraud compare to the former. Anyway, make I go forecast baba ijebu, then think like a Pwc person like ednut1 and drink a bottle of Orijin before I take the test.

Get one origin zero for me.....

Longman6:
Dear Mayowa,
we have noticed your zeal to succeed and your unending desire for excellence which has put the firm aviation's segment on a position of enviable stance in just one year.
To this end the board has decided that you be the one to kick start the Iraq branch of our energy consulting arm.please accept my sincere wishes.
Adaobi Sanusi
Global head of human capital
Sahara Group

See what i said, you also want to leave the country?.... why not run things here to by following Tonye cole's advice on twitter

I used to think I won't leave this country but everyday, things get more complex BTW, the 3 co-founders of Sahara actually at a point in time before starting Sahara lived outside d country and that in a way played a key role in d successes they've achieved thus far. If they had remained in Nigeria, maybe Sahara Group won't be where it is today, besides have gotten to realise there is a need for some form of exposure that who create some amazing mentality more than I have now....

Abeg musa go at least e go free space for Stephen odey

Longman6:
Guy,this power generation problem would be solved within the next decade, massive private sector investment is on in that area, not even the politicians can stop that.

On the issue of grades i would like to suggest that there is noting special about a First class or 2.1 in Nigeria anybody can archieve it though most public universities make it appear unattainable.

You probably wont be passionate about the educational system as you are now, when you get a job, rather you would be seeking certificates or certifications from world class institutions depending on where you work though.

Graduate Trainee is for the masses(my self inclusive), our mates who went to Yale or Imperial college come back to Nigeria to sign contract papers and not write aptitude test,

Forget that slogan of youths fighting to gain power(thats half truth) Nigeria is jaded, Nigeria is not a place where smart people win, you want to be an entrepreneur in a country where the interest rate is more than 14%? where people like Dangote get tax free incentives and interest free loans and you that is a startup is running up and down for guarantors..... You can only be a successful entrepreneur(like get a good ROI) in Nigeria if your idea is dammm creative and you are lucky, Good people like Tony Cole should help youths press for an inclusive society(well he is already doing that)

On the issue of health, Buhari proved to be a scam when he went abroad to seek for medical attention, and Lai mohammed is shouting patronize made in Nigerian goods, who are they deceiving, a country where the budget allocation for the ministry of information is more than that allocated to the ministry of agriculture, government isnt smart enough to utilize the health sector disadvantages to its benefit, neither would any reasonable health care firm invest massively without doubt.

in as much as i wouldn't want to admit,for individual success prayer or charm is key for individual success in Nigeria than rational thinking is,nobody(most) thinks rationally in this country again, Na joke o:You are presently seeking for job in an energy company, an accounting firm, an FMCG organization and a bank, In a sane country you would pass for a confused individual but in Nigeria you are quite ambitious. Do you and i really have a choice? maybe we do but that path is uncertain and long

I swear I just weak, this country tire me, @ my future employers, abeg transfer me out of 9ja you won't be disappointed at all on how I go run things over der, you know why Nigerians abroad do great things because, the environment is enabling for man to thrive, African is blessed with many brilliant brains, don't mind me I feel so concerned about power cos not only does it drive industrialisation, I like been on my system, can do that 22 of 24 hours...

nwagbaradav:
Did anyone finish the opq in 25 mins? That think took me nothing less than 40mins... 52 pages, 4 options outta six for every page, network issues...

Anyway... Done and dusted!!

Success to y'all...

Think I used 29 or 30 minutes

Jazmiynne:
Hahahahahahaaa lolz at Uniport we used to have one fellowship group that always seemed to attract the 100level students of each set. Their own prayer point was: "For me to fail..... A child of God..... " (Uniport student wey no know this prayer, that wan na Uniport student? )

Lolz

No, I do not think that religion is in itself a problem for our educational quality. What is a problem though, is religious fanatism.

It is fanatism that would make a student spend more time in prayer groups than with books and expect to come tops. It is fanatism that would make someone to tell me how he didn't write anything on his answer sheet, while the lecturer was marking he put two question marks like "??" And suddenly the person recording it miraculously saw it as 77 and he got an A in the course... (again, Uniport student wey no hear this story, that wan na Uniport student? )

People love to make excuses on God even when the Bible has clearly told us that we should give God something to bless.... And that faith without works is dead. I am a religious person and it didn't affect my study habits negatively. In fact that gave me ginja to study harder. The reason is simple: Because my Bible-trained conscience would not permit me to involve in any form of examination malpractice, I already know beforehand that I am fighting a stronger battle. I understand that if for any reason I enter the exam Hall with an empty brain for that course, na fail be dt. So I put in twice the effort because right from the start I know say na only me waka come. Moreso, because I know that before I start any exam I am going to pray to God to remind me of everything I know, have read, have seen, have heard, have had any connection with in relation with the exam, I understand that if it's an empty brain there's nothing there for God to remind me of. So in worst case scenarios where I feel unprepared for an exam, I familiarize my mind with information I feel will be useful such that by the time I ramble a little the examiner would be certain to see some good points.

My point is, religion isn't the problem, it is the people practicing the religion and how they practice it that make it an issue



Education solely in the private sector?? No sir. That would mean no school for the poor man na. Contrary to the thought that competition would make the private individuals beat down prices, the truth is that they would actually compete for which school can charge high while retaining students. That's because in Nigeria, we often attach quality education with Big schools, and Big school fees. The poor men would be left with only "pako" schools for their children. Lolz and even those "pako" schools wouldn't be cheap either

You self hear the 77 story, it's like dem share d story in every school o, education and health care system should never be in the hands of private individuals, I feel government should be responsible for that. But that won't he possible cos our so called leaders have the best schools and hospitals in Nigeria.

ElJay162:
I can't even tell if I did well or not.

Chai, na onto your hand o Baba God.

That is what OPQ is all about, you can do it and feel like omo e sure for me die only for the result to come out and na F and you may do am and be like chai I no fit make an and you pass, bottom line is do your best and leave d rest for God but like I do say, don't put too much hope in something so that you wont get disappointed at the end, move on pending d time d result will be released, either Tuesday or Wednesday next week...What is yours can never pass you by.

Jazmiynne:
Mayoor, I have a feeling that at this stage in our history, everyone in Nigeria Or at least almost everyone already knows that our educational system has loopholes that don't exactly make for educational quality.

But here's the twist.... What are you doing about it? What are we doing about it? I think that this common knowledge we all seem to have about our faulty educational system has become an excuse for complacency where it should be a motivation to excel against the odds.

The world is a global village right now and almost everything happens on the Internet. So, Nigeria hasn't yet made technical skills an integral part of her educational system, does that stop the boy who loves the ideas behind computer games? Or that girl who can't seem to get enough of clothing designs? Or the youngster who is fascinated by shoes?
It shouldn't and it hasn't been stopping very many individuals.

Unfortunately, it's also been stopping or at least limiting a great number.
You would hear lazy students in school boast about how "if I do mistake enter Jand ehnnn, na first class I go blow. Na dis our naija jus de fall person hand anyhow" Really? :-They would always be the first to quote how all the great men of the world are dropouts. The truth however, is that when they say those heroic dropout stories, they forget that the planting methods on a rocky soil differs from that on plain fertile ground - but at the end of the day a good farmer would do his best to ensure that both of them thrive successfully.

So yes, our system is bad. But let's help our self by reducing the volume of out pity party (cos really we've been singing so long and no one seems to be dancing the pity song alongside us) and instead think of how to thrive in this faulty system.

Again I'd say, the Society and the System aren't wholly to blamed. The Mindset of the average Nigerian is also a key player in the matter.

Really, if the society and system get changed today, is the average Nigerian student truly ready for that change?

Exactly, the average Nigerian student mentality is actually so poor and sometimes religion also affect us, used to tell friends way back that prayers does not cover up for your laziness, if you carry an empty brain to do exam, I swear speak in tongues from now till tomorrow, nothing will happen na F sure or if you are lucky E. But the only way to set people's priority right is through education. Education starts from our homes, the trainings from parents sometimes goes a long way, but self realisation and self discipline also matters alot and our government also need to take responsibilities for somethings. The reason why religious bodies and private individuals are thriving in some areas is because the government has failed us. Education and health care delivery should never be in the hands of private individuals cos it will result into exploitation and that is what we are experiencing today. The government needs to change while we also need to better our mindsets.

Jazmiynne:
Ah no no no.... That must have been serious impartiality! Abi na you be the class captain wey de write am abi?
We need to revisit your school and correct those old lists o

Always be in the good books of your class captain

kaboninc:
So, chuking my mouth.. .

We failed.

The system failed. Systems don't run themselves. We do.

So system failed because those who run these systems have failed.

Only who we recognize that we've talked....and we are determined to be successful, then we're just....

Yes we are still operating a failed system, that is the sad thing, like Mr. Tonye Cole twitted, Nigeria youths expects these old men to hand over power to us, no we need to take it by force, the revolution needs to start

kaboninc:
You write like one.. .

Funny though, I don't like debates, maybe my school made it seem that way, it was always an art class thing.............

kaboninc:
We're you in the Debate Society?

Have never been part of any and wish not to

Jazmiynne:
Ye! Oga please how many times did your name enter "names of noise makers" in secondary school?

Can't remember but not up to 30 times though
