I get angry when I read pieces of news like this one. Aside from the need to diversify into non-oil sector in other to reduce significantly the dependence on oil revenue, Government should encourage companies to find new oil as means to beef up the depleted reserves! It's there; untapped resources. Companies may need to expand their horizon, drill deeper where necessary and Government should be ready to give some tax reprieve where necessary to encourage increased exploration efforts. Production sharing contract terms should also be looked into so that E&P companies can be buoyed to invest more in technologies aimed at finding new oil.

Thankfully, a certain Muhammadu Buhari was one of the predecessors, he should blame him too!

Wrong perception! I studied in both State & Federal unis and I can say while most of us always wish to study in the Federal Uni, a lot of times, it is about the name. Ask recruiters and they will tell you that some 2.2 products in some state unis perform better in tests and interviews than 2.1 graduates of federal unis. To a large extent, the individual plays an important role in what results he/she turns out. But I must confess that some state unis are really terrible in terms of facilities and lecturers. However you must give it to state unis like LAUTECH & LASU; they are better than many Federal unis and the quality of graduates they churn out underscore this assertion.

Nostalgia! It was an honour to have acted in Tales by moonlight as well as Kidivision 101. However Speak Out remains the best children's TV programme of the 90s. We interviewed Ministers, visited places and had a platform in which we freely expressed our opinion! I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood days...so sweet!

Culiarme:
cnt remembr d title myslf but remembr teacher chike

I guess you are referring to "After the storm"

All I can say is if you are still in School and capable of making a first class, please ensure you bag it. You will never regret doing so!

O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed


Refrain : Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!


When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze




And when I think that God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die-I scarce can take it in
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin


When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home-what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

ikweremilitant: wait wait u guys re geting me confused.i have a friend dat droped out of school.but some how hs father managed to get hm a job wit agip wer he went 4 trianing nd 2dy he works in d ofshore operations wit agip,so hw cm a non enginer is workng their

Well it's not only Engrs that work offshore. We have doctors, cooks, cleaners etc. Your friend may be a roustabout (unskilled labourer) or even a community worker, if he comes from an oil producing area.

As an Engineer, offshore work is like a dream come true especially on your first visit to the rig or production platform, however as the realities of the associated dangers begin to set in, you ask yourself if this is really what you want to do. Flying to location is just as risky as being on location itself especially when you are drilling an exploratory well and prognosis suggests highly pressured reservoirs. Food is served 5-7am/pm & 11 -1am/pm. ofcourse you have the best of local & continental dishes but after a while you just get tired of the food & become home sick. Working offshore when everything goes well can be boring, it gets interesting when you have a technical challenge to resolve, however you would rather everything goes smoothly (my opinion). Hey! I remember once flying out of location and 10 mins into the flight, the chopper starts acting funny, being the only passenger, I peeped to see the reaction on the faces of the pilots; tense. Worse still I saw them flipping through the pages of a manual and the contents of the manual were stuff like hydraulic failure, mechanical failure etc. My worst fear was confirmed! thankfully, they found a solution to the problem and 35 mins later, we landed safely at NAF base. In all, it is a beautiful experience.

I do not completely agree with this. MDs of oil producing companies earn well over 1M dollars per annum. I know this for sure! So if the list is properly compiled, only the stanbic lady stands a chance of being in the top 10 (assuming the figures are correct).

Well, from personal experience, I will say YES. My wife of several years now was my classmate in the University. We started dating in school, though at 500 level, served in the same state and got married 2 years after. We are currently having a swell time in our marriage. Look, on our last vacation in the UK, an older cousin of mine having observed closely how my wife & I relate like friends, exchanging banters with reckless abandon,could not help but marvel and I want to believe the years we have spent together especially from school days have helped in building the relationship. You guys need to just make it work and prayerfully too.Your priority though must be to complement each other academically as that is your primary reason for being in school. It would not make sense if you sacrifice good grades at the altar of 'love'. Good luck.

The 2007 honda accord EX-L is a good machine to drive, though it's more expensive than others. I ve been driving mine for a year now and no single major issue. I ve driven through floods, very bumpy roads and all, still it remains strong. Just ensure you service as often as necessary. Also make sure you get a copy of the manual and have it handy at all times. Once you change the engine oil, be sure to adjust the oil life to 100%, following the instructions spelt out in the manual, as most of these mechanics do not know how to do it. Use original parts at all times. Before you pay for the car, run thorough diagnostics-VERY IMPORTANT. Where you can get a good one, honestly I do not know. I combed the major areas where you have car dealers for over 2 months, including the whole stretch of western avenue and ikorodu road but didnt quite get what I wanted-I managed to get mine by a stroke of luck from a private seller, you may however try Inspired Autos. Cheers!

Inspired of Auto section. Very professional.

Engineers definitely. It might also interest you that a lot of Chartered Accountants hold first degrees in various Engineering disciplines. Many banks have Engineers as directors, a good example is UBA with half of the board of executive directors being Engineers, including the Group Managing Director himself.

Give it to the Engineers, we stand out anyday!

My heart goes out to those involved in this blow out. Good we have in house people who have some information about the incidence and have helped to educate the ignorant ones. One hopes that in the coming days, we can have someone with the details give us an insight into what led to the blow out so that other people in the oil and gas industry can learn from it. People should accord offshore workers due respect as everything about the job is highly risky including chopper flights to and fro location, not to talk of the operational risks either on the rig or production platforms. However good the money may seem, it is nothing compared to the associated risk. I had my heart in my mouth the last time I flew from the rig to NAF base because the chopper developed a mechanical fault mid way into the flight however God saved us from a crash. This is what all others in the industry endure to maintain the country's oil producing status. May God continue to protect us all.
