AjanleKoko:
I'm curious to know why you think so, please.

My oga, i send you felicitations and compliments of the year!!!

well i dont think so cos thats what it is,
As a driller you are constantly on the rig floor drilling,making calculations and sending back datas to the office via satellite, anyway you still get to go to the office to write your report and findings in the form daily drilling report and brief the management on goings on the well wether there is improvement and likelyhood of hitting a pay zone or you just burning companies money.
After that you are usually given 2 or 3 weeks off as the case may be but you should be on hand in case you are needed on the rig.
Drilling job is a very complex job and they are other personnel that combines their expertise to make oil drilling worth while.
So as u can see sir,its not your daily 9 - 5 routine, my friend just called me on the 24th of december last year and told me he is on the rig floor, far off the atlantic ocean, i could just imagine his agony coupled with the fact that he is newly married , well oil money no easy to chop like dat.

@ nnaiah

bros how far na

i am lost in the race o, so good to see ur post, its been a long time

i need the ides on a hard drive and i will like like the production planning module and SCM module and materials if u have them
2011 for me is SAP men , something is in the offing from what i gathered from one of my "ogas"
please can u arange my request for me ?

just hala me at my email, ekwokey(at)gmail.com

take care,

byu the way how was ur xmas, enuff sloshing i guess , we will get there, take care

Drilling job is not an office affair, production is continous.

well for me am no longer on the field, office is it for me for now.
@ Natgas , u said u r in Logistic , is it with an oil and gas coy?
why do u want to switch? logistic is a very hot career and will get hotter in 2011

stay cool

yes there very real!!!!

i did business with them this year around august, they did not disappoint.
only their service charge is on the high side, but they deliver
no qualms.u can visit them at ikeja.go to their site make inquiries

^^^^^^^ at kengali,
wht you shud do is write to the school and inquire from them,from my experience with clausthal, i think u will be mandated to do one month german immersion course before u can proceed for the program in Germany, but this is not a prerequisite as the program is been taught in english, the essence is to help you interact with the indigenes who might not be predispose to english.
clausthal is vey reputable in terms global recognition as their teaching is based on 70% research work with service coys like slb,baker hughes,kca deutag ,halliburton,etc, and after you finish your program i think you will have to do an internship in one of these oil coys that have a research patnership with clausthal

All in all the graduands from the school are highly sought after and 90 % get jobs as drilling supervisors after school, although i was not opportuned to attend the school due to some personal reasons but i spoke at lenght with one of their alumnus during a training section at NPDC benin.
take the chance u will not regret it ,their fees are kinda low(free even) cos the money u will remit to the bank acct in Germany will be for ur upkeeps and books.

its even cheap at around 8000 euros, believ thats the best sure way to get into germany with a sure job cos germany is short of engineers that migrated to the UK thru this HSMP scheme, so take the chance , but if u still feel that herriot wyatt and rgu is wat u want then u have to save like 7 milla to get going, their drilling engineering school fees no be beans!

As for hungary their teaching mode is in english, u dont have to learn hungary and 2 million naira is enuff for u to do the course although i dont really know much abt them cos i didnt interacty with dem much.

u can also try austria, there is a petroleum engineering school there i think university of leoban or so if am correct, their fees too is ok and the teaching is qualitative and they have a research program with heriot wyatt, besids they too r looking for skilled immigrant too!, i know cos they came to unilag some times 4 yrs back to woo student to come to austria, even getting u married to one of their daughters was part of the package !!! ,

so take the chance drilling engineering is a favorable and rewarding career

ihi guys , i got this letter from foreign a recruitment agency which specializes in recruiting proffesionals for oil and gas coy in dubai, i wish to share with y"all ,its for accounting professionals so, if u fit the position just fire ur cv to them. there are100% genuine.
you can also check their website for more confirmation

@ AjanleKoko
you are one of those that make this career section "thick", i really appreciate ur insight and mentorship regarding career enhancement, i doff my hat for you

Anyway, please wats ur take on this business analysis program do we engineers really need it? and how globally relevant is it?,

also wat is ur take on CIPS, i read from somewhere on this forum where you favoured CIMA over CIPS, are u saying that CIPS is not a relevant certification, or is it just your own candid opinion?

and lastly, in the procurement world, which one of these is more recognized CIPS or CSCP?, i know u really not a procurement guy but with your experience and "job-trotting" u should ve a thing or two to say

SAP consultants are one of the most priced professional in the world today, come to think of it, its mostly in use by the richest organisations in the world.

The biggest challenge in SAP has been the cost of acquiring the skills.

i really dont see any reason why yorubas cant rear cattle.

in most countries i know of, farming and cattle rearing arent mutually exclusive, meaning if you farm then you can also raise different kinds of livestock at the same time.

these yahoo yahoo boys should be given agricultural training, land and encouraged to go into farming and animal husbandry as a way of rehabilitating them.

[s]some highly educated people do farm as well, so there's nothing exclusive about it.[/s]

and no, i didnt get this idea from becomerich.

i thought about it yesterday.

u thought about becomerich and u got inspired, wey u r google map for emphasis !!

They were killed because of there involvement in cultist while in school

HOW SURE ARE U ABOUT THIS ??

sonya4all:
Its quite a pity this is happening,and my heart goes 2 the deceased families,contrary 2 that reports from benin and a closely related neigbour of ukeke revealed yesterday dat,the killings were done by rival cultists,he said that while ukeke and the other were in uniben,they were members of the and when they graduated they never denounced(unquote),that made them 2 be hunted down,also the previous day before the incident,other deaths were recorded, .

REALLY UKEKE A CULTIST!!, NA WA FOR BENI  O, this is one of the problem with youngsters in Benin, they take this their cult thing as a do or die, instead of channelling their energy to other worthwhile ventures they are busy getting into one cult group or the other just to beef themselves, too many incessant killings and robbery going on in that town and nothing is been done to curb it ,its like evil thrives in that town unfettered, all this stops a town from growing economically, no sane thinking investor will want to invest in a town where human beings are used for shooting practice, if this trend is not checked ,i am afraid that real development will continue to elude that town for a long time to come.

Hi Guys
I have been following this tread for a while and i need a bit of advice, presently i work as a software developer in the UK and also studying for an MBA at the moment. My preferred situation will be to move back home after the MBA, now the question is do i need to get a scm certification to be able to work as a supply chain manager or i can apply with my MBA as there is a scm module in it?

get certified it will make life a whole lot easy for u.

@ CARNAL
Please xan u help me with cips level 5 textbooks , i dont mind i will pay 4 it thanks get in touch with at ekwokey@gmail.com.thanks

nice thread, two thumbs for ajekoko, i hope i got that rite
anyway i dont really know where i fall in but i guess i am ambitious and sometimes challenge the status quo if i feel things are not cranking up a little,i think this brought me at logger heads with my present "boss" ,i hate to call him boss cos we all were recruited together and due to Godfatherism and tribal preference ,he was elevated to a post mearnt for expatriates!!!.
we have had issues on work process flow and sometimes personall difference,due to this complex of him been a HND holder and me a Beng, , very trival u might say,so to get back at me he promotes staff that are less competent than me with little or no experience because he can control and manipulate them!!!, which he can never try with me!!,
what he does now is to use newly hire green horns who he feels he can control to monitor me anytime i am on my system ,to know if i am sending mails to the HR about this,
i remain unpertubed cos a golden fish has no hiding place, i intend moving to another coy by GODS grace two months from now, so much for insubordination!!!

ONLY IN LAGOS WILL YOU SEE THIS INSCRIPTION " SHIT BUSINESS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS"

ONLY IN LAGOS WILL SEE MAMA PUT COOKING SOUP WITH BROOM!!!!

DURING THE MOLUE ERA , ONLY IN LAGOS WILL SEE 44 SITTING AND 99 STANDING!! - reminds of one drama that happen on my way to  oshodi during the molue era, on woman that was standing sandwiched between two men was complaining that something is "stabbing" her behind and she was feeling uncomfortable, she told the man standong in her front to adjust a little so she can move forward, cos the guy standing behing her was too close for her comfort and she is kinda feeling something hard is "poking her behind.the guy in the standing in her front refused!! y ,becos he too was enjoying the the "push from the woman's "man-chester" and the woman is naturally endowed in both department.
she was telling the guy behind her to shift back a little, for all guy care ,she may talking to a statue cos the guy behind her was sweating profusely and still glued to the woman as if his life depends on it, any time the molue jolts the vibration causes the both of them to follow suit, both men were enjoying the ride!!!, until the woman now shouted out that something is "shooking" her and extricated her self some from both men , lo and behold the guy behind the woman had a BIG  ERECTION!!!!
IT was so glaring that the guy could not hide it ,everybody now knew y the guy was sweating and did not bither to move back when the woman told him to shift a little, he was having the ECSTACY OF HIS LIFE!!,
meen i tire for lagos drama

hi everyone.is there anybody with ideas on how to get aveva pdms software. i have a link at rapidshare but I'll require some paypal money in order for the download to be fast. pls if there any you could pls share it with all of us.

used to know a guy that has the software ,when i was doing my HYsis training,but i never considered it lucrative untill last month when a friend of mine got a mouth watering job at technip,just for knowing the basics, i kick myself 4 not taking the opportunity then to learn it (for free!!!), now the guy is in houston (bakerhughes for the same pdms training), however i know lonadek has the stuff, but i doubt if they can give u assess , unless u enrol with them for the training that is,
Man!!! PDMS is the in thing now!!, me too dey look for the thing joo.

Dovers:
I can so relate to that.
Politics at work is a reality we all have to handle and live with. Come to think of it, there's politics even at the family level!

Well my situation is a bit different. My boss is scared! When head office barks he shivers and i cant stand it! I hate people who can't take a stand and stick to it. So he never backs me on issues. I always have to watch my back and look out for myself.

People should know that you always have to look out for yourself at work. You dont have permanent friends and the very person you think will always be there to support you, might be the one to put you down. That's how life is, so dont sweat it.

Do your work properly, do your best, and leave the rest to Baba God! He knows best.

SPOT ON !!!

^^^ This is not the kind of attention I wanted, I was hoping for some healthy challenge/argument as to which is the highest paying sector, and I was gonna try to prove evry1 wrong with facts, but things are takin an unexpected and unwelcome turn here.
By the way keep your cynicism to your self, you are only wasting your time and it's a waste of energy for you
