NYSC don finish my age. I want my age back. Imagine giving me 1995.

My call up number is 115.... My choice of states are: Osun, Abuja, Imo in that order. What are my chances?

DonPsymon:
Verve card has issues bruh


I tried to use my verve card but couldn't... Despite activating online banking at access.

Ended up using my friend's mastercard.

I used Union Bank Verve

I am a graduate of Engineering and also hold a National Diploma in Engineering. I love technical/trade education/training. I need information on how to start a Technical School. Junior Secondary. With 20 students class capacity. Please information on CAC registration, NBTE accreditation, Curriculum, infrastructure etc. Thank you all in advance.

I found this thread on google while researching on Vocational Education in Nigeria. Please I need information from all. I had a good vocational aptitude in my primary school and even before starting secondary school. I had great experience in my secondary school. I later got National Diploma in Engineering and the skills I acquired fetched me money to complete my degree. Now i'm about going for NYSC. I intend starting a Technical School. Just junior category for a start. I need information on requirements for registration with CAC, NBTE etc. My qualification is ND Engineering and B.Eng. My proposed school name is ODFID TECHNICAL SCHOOL. Thanks all in advance

Elmisti, Physika! *stop peeping!I haf resolved that I will just take my current work seriously because these signs am seeing are not good
Only me,
SIWES alawee, I no see!
PTDF last cash, i no see!
Mobilization list, Padlocked!
Had it been I be girl, I for no see my period join!

Hey how u dey? so u dey expect PTDF last cash too? same here. SIWES allowee that one sha...

The problem is not with farming. We have enough from our local farms. But the fresh tomatoes get spoilt during period of glut. The problem is with processing into tins. And presently the design of the processing plant in the country is not economically viable. I took time out to do the plant design, economic analysis, and a look into the international market to uncover certain secrets. Nigeria will continue to import tomatoes, palm oil, crude oil etc. Until they are ready to make use of technocrats. For now, the present situation is an enabling environment for smart inventors to tap into.

Sunnystooth:
Lmao... I studied Chemical Engineering jare... Preferred state of service; Lagos or Ogun state... Lolz. You go need bribe me to get the other infos.

make una watch this guy. Him study chemical engineering for another school different from the one wey JAMB give am admission. Him go hear am soon.

whodohgeepee:
whazzup bro?

My UNIUYO colleague. If i'm not mistaken. I'm good. How u dey?

bharkarh:
wow! I was expecting you to say Akwa-ibom, Enugu, PH, etc. Why Osun?

I want to serve among very intelligent Nigerians. Osun is where my heart is

bharkarh:
that's a nice course bro. So where will you like to serve?

Osun State

bharkarh:
wow! 4.40 that's very close. Twin-best? Just hearing that for d first time. Where did you study?

University of Uyo - Chemical Engineering

bharkarh:
Yes, I did have real-life experience relating to my course of study with a Co-operative Union (lasted for 6wks tho) but I plan to enlarge my scope during NYSC by doing 1 or 2 professional courses(ICAN and Personnel mgt) so as not to be trapped in one field. And for the record of the best in my dept, my gf is(4.29). Tnx!

Wow! congratulations to her. Both of you should have emerge twin-best. I emerged twin-best with one of my friends in the dept., a girl. Both of us finished with 4.40 CGPA

bharkarh:
I started with 3.56 in my 100lv first semester. The club I joined (Corporate Potentials' Club) motivated me a lot.

I must say congratulations bharkarh. I'm happy for you. But do you have any real-life experience in your course? Like industrial attachment? Or just the beautiful grade? Anyways maybe you'll most likely go into lecturing since you like teaching. Were you the best in the department?

bharkarh:
aii. Name's Owolabi Olayinka, studied Co-operative and Business Management, hails from ondo state, graduated with a 2:1 (4.28 CGPA) 2013/14 set, I have flair for teaching and for my temperament, I think i'm sanguine because i'm cool,cheerful, and always confident of the future. Wetin mai talk again? G'mrn Nairalanders (2nd family)

welcome on board. Did you rise to this CGPA or did you fall from First Class?

As a rule: be sceptical about any course that tells you we can do everything and anything because they will end up doing nothing. Be warious about a man that tells you he can do everything. Chemical Engineering, to be sincere, can turn out to be a pure engineering science venture if not guided. Ask a final year chemical engineer, what can you do? Then you'll be surprised at the response or lack of response. Before an undergraduate leaves the University as a graduate chemical engineer he should have convinced himself on what he can do as a chemical engineer. Someone that had admission to study law knows he's a lawyer, same with medicine, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering. But someone that has Masters in chemical engineering will still be wondering and asking questions like what is the career prospect like for chemical engineers. And he will be rightly answered - chemical engineers do everything and work everywhere. Is that not ridiculous?

And then some folks will do a diploma for employability, degree to increase employability and will still want to go for Masters for employability - what a waste of life. After First Degree and being in the real world for sometimes, a graduate should know what he wants for his/her life. If the First Degree was embarked on for the proposed employer why not do Masters for yourself - to fulfill a passion from what you have started or from what you are doing or from what you intend to do. My engineering colleagues let's do engineering as a utility discipline, not as a speculative discipline. And you will hear our foreign trained guys advicing locally trained engineers on the prospects in the profession - what a misnomer. Who should understand better? Words are cheap. But the real worth bothers on applicability. That is why Legal profession for it to be useful all their graduates from any part of the world must come back to the country to enroll in law school in order to domestic the doctrines in the profession, as it is applicable at home.

I always advice upcoming chemical engineers (though i'm new in the profession) that Nigeria has two great needs, Food and Energy. Each time i'm in a forum of chemical engineers I discover that the Nigerian Chemical Engineers love discussing the foreign aspect of chemical engineering - all those nice names - and hoping for employment one day. A hope that has put most people through Masters and Ph.D while still wondering what they want for their lives. Chemical Engineering for it to have utility value should be studied with the mind of researching into our available local raw materials, setting up a plant for its conversion, business starts and the profession is brought home. Engineering should have a localized applicability for it to be relevant. Rather than having nice foreign outlook curriculum.

elmisti:
So una wan open transfer markt here abi...ok.........kontinu!

The world is our market

orlahtohbadt:
yes, u take Osun, i'll take Akwa-Ibom

deal! Then i'll give you my apartment in Eket in exchange for yours if you serve in my local government of origin

orlahtohbadt:
Now i'm finally commenting, used to be a peeper,
but no more cos i was certified a graduate yday, formal introduction;
Ojo Olaotan

From Osun state
Based in Lagos
hoping to serve in Any state of the South-South

welcome on board. I represent UNIUYO Chemical Engineering. From Akwa Ibom. Hoping to serve in Osun State. Can we do exchange

ademasta:
All engineering graduates will now be posted to engineering firms for nysc...COREN. We pray it starts with us! Engr Ademasta.

Elmisti
All engineering graduates

Wow! If this happen in our time eeh i'll be so happy. That means i'll hook up with one consulting firm or production firms to broaden my experience and network. I represent Chemical Engineering, UNIUYO.
But the way goodnews and 'good rumours' are just flying in this B15 era:
1. Increase in allowee.
2. Self deployment.
3. National Census.
4. Engineering graduates to Engineering firms.
5. First Class graduates to Tertiary institutions

I'm having the feelings that the 3 states self deployment will be states outside ones geopolitical zone - one each from each geopolitical zone. Then I would go Osun, Imo and Benue

whodohgeepee:
tuskite guy, ah hail u!

whodohgeepee how u dey? Can we meet formally? I just finished. Date of graduation - 31st July, 2015. Chemical Engineering. And I hope to serve in Osun State. How about you? Any news from school? I just filled my mobilization form this week and submitted application for renewal of ID card

I really sympathize with all those having issues of 'No admission yet' and 'admission in a school different from the school attended'. The problem is only an artificial one created by the school. Because since the mistake is from JAMB and not from the student, the school can have a way of ameliorating the situation. Like in UNIUYO that I just finished from 'Jamb Notification of Result' is accepted in place of 'Jamb Admission Letter.'

Posts like this is the reason Nigeria is backward. The highest this will produce is 'good grade' with mediocrity. The OP model reveals what OP and his followers are or will be in the future - jobseekers, unemployed or workers-slaves. Everyone has their motivation in life anyways but spending 4 or 5 years in school pursuing just grade is ridiculous. Grades that you will never get in some school, in some department, or with some IQ. And even after you've gotten it you will see how empty it is because you've left the weightier aspect of being educated. I bet you the 12 point will produce a mediocre in the society.

Hello all,
I hope to serve in Osun State. I've been so passionate about the state, judging by their being a state with high level of intelligence. But I can't really tell what else is special about them. Anyone one that knows about the state....?

cococandy:
Some guys mistake potential to be plans or dreams. Hence a graduate young man hoping to get a job at Shell while doing some unfulfiling job will think he has potential because he's educated and has big dreams.

Potential is the guy who turns lemon into lemonade.

He's focused and doesn't waste his time regaling the babe with his 'plans' for the future.

He's calculative.
The guy who didn't get a job when he left school but his shop that he started with 200k is worth millions now because he doesn't mind traveling to the north or to Togo to buy goods cheaper and doesn't mind driving a keke napep to deliver his goods to his clients on time. Thereby creating a huge customer base and more success from his little capital.

Potential is not by mouth.
If you're driven,it won't be a secret.

I read this post last year and was so motivated, especially by this comment cococandy made. I sleep and wake up with this comment for the past one year now. I have just graduated - a two time best student, ND and B.Eng. But I never considered it as a potential - waiting for Shell, Exxonmobil job. I now want to invest my last scholarship pay - 250,000naira into starting up a PALM OIL SHOP. The vision is to own a Palm Oil processiong plant both for local need and export in the future. I'll be 30 this year and i've met my fiancee while in the University - hoping to settle down soon. So I thank everyone that contributed to this post. If not this post perhaps what had happened in the narration of the OP would have happened to me.

I carried out a Process Research in extraction of palm and kernel oil and their use in soap production. I've now completed the plant design. I need urgently where I can buy the smallest possible set of equipment (pilot plant) to extract these oils. Even if it is one litre each. Any one with an idea of where I can see these equipment to buy should let me know please. Possible within Akwa Ibom State - locally fabricated.
