yhomz093: story 4 the Gods#

Tecno user alert!!!

Whoever says that Blackberry is fighting to remain relevant in the smartphone market is either very biased or just waking up from a slumber that dates back to the stone age. That's a battle that has been won since the release of the BlackBerry 10. The worst part is that even Tecno users are making noise . I wasn't a big fan of the BBOS platform because of its non ending problems, but since the advent of BB10 it's been a happily-ever-after story. That Barack Obama uses the BlackBerry says a lot
I wish most of y'all running your mouths can do a lil research on the number of polls blackberry 10 has won since last year as the best OS. The margin between BB and Android and iOS was unbelievable. I just shake my head for people still talking about battery or hanging issues till now. It shows how informed you are.
Give BlackBerry 2 more years with John Chen and watch the transformation in the BBRY market share and price stability. The previous administration messed things up but BB is back and better.

Dfavouredone: Wrote in Warri last week tuesday, I used my warri address.

Hmmn...does it mean all those invited were Warri based? were you able to interact with any of the other candidates to know their residential location?

@Dpress it didn't finally work out. Who exactly is this pls?

patto12: lol this seplat thread has really given us hypertension. i don't understand whether it's in batches or its the last test? warri has written, lagos next, i hope they will fix a venue in PH, although i don't want to get my hopes too high.

I'm really hoping so too because I used a PH address. What address did people that were invited to warri use?

Chaii..d maths was hot. For those simultaneous equations of 3 unknowns, I just googled simultaneous equations solver, and input the values cos there was no scientific calculator around. All in all it was good but spent most of my time on maths and had very little time on the english section.

I don't even know what to think anymore

spawne: Frankly bro it beats me too. @kollynzo has been sent an invitation and I spoke with a lady in ExxonMobil and she confirmed that invitations have been sent. As for dragnet calling someone to ask whether they will take the Esso test, I don't know why (I was called and asked though). So as it stands, am just going to tell the Imperial College guys I won't continue with the program. Sad ei...

Wow...so is it Dragnet or ESSO that's sending the invitation?

spawne: I hear invitations have been sent.

There's something confusing. Which invites exactly is being sent? On the other thread, some people were called on July 8 as regards the NAE Scholarship. Same day damajer says they called his friend to send some documents for the ESSO scholarship. Are these two scholarships related? And why did dragnet call some people to ask if they were writing the ESSO test?

cc150615: Did u get the invite too?

Nah

emydiddy: mine is slated for july 15th. any ideas on wat its gonna look like?[/quote ] [quote author=swiftrobin]Interview invites just rolled in. July 16, in Lagos. The mail cc about 20 others. Who else got the invite?

Wow..where are you guys based? Was the mail from Dragnet or ESSO?

swiftrobin: I received a call this morning informing me i was successful. I'm to forward my cv, degree result and admission letter to a particular email address.

Congrats bro!

MsSteph: Hello everyone,

I am saying this here cause you are like a family to me on Nairaland so I won't leave without letting you guys know.

People might feel my reason for leaving this site is very stupid but to me it is something big.

Yesterday evening I noticed my username on NL has changed I dint get any mail asking for my permission neither did the owner of this site which is seun release any statement of him doing so he just decided to change people's name without informing them which to me is unfair cause I have tried as much as possible to respect his forum I have never gone against the rules of this site and as a moderator he is suppose to hear from us concerning issues like this before taking such decisions.

Seun is always fond of doing whatever he likes on this site after doing whatever he likes then he issues a fake apology to people and relax after all we are nigerians we can only make noise for a day and everything will go back to normal the next day.

I have used Ms_steph for over 3years on NL and a lot of people on NL know me with that username.

Like I said it might be a stupid reason to others but it is something to me.

After the hacking incident we lost a important data on this thread we were on page 178 and now we are on 129.

For me I am going mute on Nairaland for a week by saturday if seun doesn't give a sincere apology or change my username I am going to deactivate my account and leave Nairaland.

Thank you and have a nice day.

I know how it feels. What he did was quite disrespectful and i don't care if anyone thinks otherwise. This action completely negated his previous post about making nairaland world class. I'm a member of world renowned forums like Crackberry and they never take big actions like this without contacting the users or getting feedback. Members make the forum and not the owner. Really pathetic to think as you said that he failed to even contact his mods before this. That to a large extent displays autocracy and lack of managerial skill. I lost appetite to make posts after the data loss and this action of his further makes me think if he actually has our interest at heart or if nairaland is just a means to an end. I wasn't affected but every member affected deserve to be tendered a formal apology.

Kh001: Please what is the test format

D normal dragnet GSE style questions.

How did the test go guys? Mine was okay. Na God remain now oo..

Electrique: They have started calling

Since when? Did they call you? Or you know someone?

For those that wrote this exam on the 21st of June, is there any update? When are they expected to start contacting the successful ones?

yzgobier: This should make front page......expect GRE

Thanks man. Have you written the test before?

For those invited for the test on Saturday 5th of July, let's meet here. Anyone with an idea of the format of the test? The mail said just 2 sections in 1 hour. I'm suspecting GMAT. Those that did last year, pls what was the format?

Thanks bro. Really appreciate.

Hi guys,
Please i need info on the payment platforms I can use on an e-commerce wordpress site I want to develop. Someone suggested vogue pay or GTB Web pay. What is involved in implementing these, including financial implications?

Thanks.

Pls what is the format of this test? GMAT?

The Cleaner: Flow assurnce is very correct..I receivd smtin lyk a 'received ur CV' mail frm E&P and I ws askd to create/update my unsolicited application to b considerd 4 recruitmnt. Does dt guarantee one wld b invited for tests.? Does TotalE&P do skills test..? Any ideas hw long TotalE&P tkes for its entire recruitment?

Tnx.

When did you receive the mail?

Flow Assurance: Heard that Total E&P would soon start recruitment for Engineers and d likes (B.Eng). Mails have started flying round abt acknowledgment of CV's on careers.total.com

Same thing happned with Total Plc.. Well, let's see as it goes

I'm looking forward to it. Are they sending mails to everyone with an account on their careers site? Have you received or you know anyone that has received? Thanks

Just too far. They should just be reputable enough to fix a date and stick to it. Shifting the date twice in less than a week without any obvious reason is totally uncalled for and unprofessional. If I had this date in mind right from start, maybe i'd have done a more thorough job. Same applies to some others who just rushed through the application. Sadly again, the site doesn't allow editing after submission. Oh well!

It seems that the job is no longer open cos I can't find it any longer on their site. Has it been closed? I thought it was till 31st of December?

Patiladwonder: You state your customer base on so many factors. They can be individual or organizations. For individuals, they can be grouped based on age group, gender, class, education and social status. E.g, learned or unlearned, undergraduate, graduate, corpers, market women, male between
the age of 20-50. For organization, name the organization you are rendering your services for now or you intend to reach out to. E.g,Obafemi Awolowo University-suppying of stationery materials,ministry of education. If you are a fish farmer, you customers are Hotels, restaurant, market women, individuals and family. The question now says name five of your customers. So, you put them in groups.


300 will be selected base on merit and 150 will be selected from the six geo-political zones. The criteria still remain the same which is uniqueness, innovation and a good business plan. Divine factor is also part of it because no matter how good the 6000 business plan are, they must reduce them to 1200. So start writing good business plan and start praying. So, if you don't know how to write good business plan, please consult.

The minimum capital equipment cost is 40% of the grant money. This has been stated in the YouWiN question. When and how do a business reach profitability depends on the type of business you are doing e.g, a trading business will reach profitability earlier than a school business that is just starting. Everything depends on your sales and profit margin. So, to calculate it, you have to look at your projected expected sales in relation to how much grant money you requested for.

Thanks very much brother. I was expecting such reasonable answer all the while. Bless!

blink182: mugu, take your inferiority complex elsewhere. Win or no win this has been a big eye opener for me. Some of us are destined for greatness, grant or no grant.

A great tutor like you already beginning to sound less confident in himself. How interesting!

blink182: you must be sick upstairs, who do you think is your mate here?

No time to exchange words with you. Let's just see how far you get, Smart Alec!

blink182: please make it to the 6000 first before you bother about that.

You don't have to reply if you've not got an answer to my question bro. You should be doing something better with your time.

Patiladwonder: Innovative idea with good and well written business plan will take to next stage of 6000 participants.


Between 0-30,000 maximum.


You write there names one by one.


What makes your business to break even is dependent on your sales per month. If you can sell very well, you could quickly break-even within the 6 months or even make profit self.

Thanks for the reply. I meant what criteria is used to select the final beneficiaries from the 6000?

What criteria is used to select applicants through the second stage?
