Guys, don't shout too much about the comments of the North about PIB.
Leave it or take Allison maduake's KIP is to ensure the PIB's content is doctored to put Shell in a win-win position. She is from the South-Sou
th.
The Exxon big boys in Dallas have also set KPI for the likes of MPN essien-dainer to ensure PIB favours the operation of Exxon in Nigeria, she is from akwa-ibom.
Mutiu sumonu of SPDC would put the orders from the Hague first before national interest, he is from SW,Alek musa of Total would do what he is been told from la defense paris (Total).
Senators of different tribes would collect money MNC.
I am sorry for my Country.

I studied Engineering

I did had terrible experiences at first, I remembered sitting for an aptitude test and came third overall but got the shock of my life during second stage of interview.
Someone among the interview panel said I did I manage to get to this level, they had an argument someone mentioned to him this guy was invited because he scored so high in the aptitude test, age wise he is still young just 21yrs old then though he graduated with 2-2.
To cut the story the interview stopped midway because on dude insisted that they were to employ people with at least 2-1.
I cried and felt bad.
I got my first job out of sheer luck and God.
It was not easy, you can still get invited for Shell-SITP test even with 2-2

The truth is some 2-2 graduate are actually first class material but graduated with 2-2 due to distraction,juvenile deliquences and age.
I graduated with 2-2(3.47) so painful that I cried because I was sure of making a 2-1. The disappointment of not making 2-1 made me feel challenged.
I worked with the likes of Exxonmobil,shell,Acergy and Saipem before God took me abroad as an expatriate.
I give glory to God for his mercies.
All I need to say be prepared,so when opportunity drops by unexpectedly you grab with both hands.

if a woman menstrate, medically she's got chances of ovulating!

Guy,

your wife should study her cycle ,  to increase the chances of her getting pregnant you must make love to her consistently prior to her ovulation and after her ovulation .

if she is on 28 days cycle , and her menstrual period is 5 days then count 9 days after her last period i.e 14 days from the beginning of her period. you guys should make love 2 days before she ovulates, the day she ovulates   leave  a gap of one day and make love again.

for her to know she is ovulating her bosom would be tender, her body temperature would increase and her womanly secretion would be sticky.


As for you increase your Zinc intake , search for Korean ginseng tea and make sure you drink loads of water daily. then exercise regularly

the ultimate key is God , Pray Pray Pray and Pray . Please don't be too anxious , when anxiety sets in it is very diffcult for a woman to conceive.

I don't know if you could get ovulation predicting kit in Nigeria, Your Sperm needs to be healthy as well.

All the best .[color=#000099][/color]

Dangote is by far better than the whole lots shell,exxonmobil,Total,Agip and the whole lots of MNC in 9ja.
Those folks MNC are after what they can get from the resources of the country and not on capacity development.

I know Dangote Company need to do more on capacity development for Nigerians

Goodtime Night Club I left Bonny is 2006. There was no Club back then

@2good
Oko-omoge,
The B.ENG and BSC term in Nigeria is just a nomenclature[b].( Schools were not just set up to award B.Eng or B.sc)[/b]But you cannot compare the success of Unilorin grauduates with graduates of schools like UI, OAU, UNILAG, UNN, ABU & UNIBEN.
Every school have an Alumni in top positions in major Oil and Gas companies, so your post on knowing graduates from the few universities which you personally selected because of the BENG ( Agree)[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] thing doesnt hold ground.
I myself have worked with graduates from ESUTECH, ILORIN, UI, OAU, CALABAR, PHC, EKPOMA etc in the oil and gas industry and discovered that its more of the person and not the school we all attach importance to. Your success is determine by how well you develop yourself (Very True)[color=#990000][/color]An average graduate of engineering whether BSC or B.ENG can be trained to do any job needed by their employer. But the six universities listed above still attract the best brains in Nigeria simply because people believe that the first generation univerties have the best standard in Nigeria.
Also, mind you that the Oil and gas industry is one of the lowest employer of labour compared to the size of their operations and investment, so there are other sectors of the economy that employs people.
In summary, enough with this school comparison because like I said in an earlier post, the main thing is what value your degree can bring in your career pursuit.( Your development stage is very important )

I don't normally comment on issues like this but I like to say ABU has produced More Engineers that are currently top Executives with major MNC .
If you work in the oil and Gas Industry specifically Shell, NLNG and Exxon Mobil, you would understand what I mean.

Shell Western Region has alot of top executives who graduated from Unilorin
SNEPCO currently has a Vice President in charge of Gas ( Graduated from Unilorin )
SPDC currently has Director of Development who graduated from ( ABU)
ExxonMobil has GM ( Development Project) Unilorin
Exxon Mobil has Technical Manager (  Major Project -Pipelines) -Unilorin
ExxonMobil has Senior Project Manager ( Development Project)-Unilorin
NLNG has Senior Project Managers ( Who graduated from Unilorin)
Shell Eastern Region has alot of Uniben Old boys calling the shots.

All these is just to mention a few. I have had the privilege of working in the Major Engineering Centres i.e Houston, Paris, Aberdeen and Currently an expatriate  in Perth. I can  confidently  say Unilorin has done the Nation proud in the field of Engineering, to even attest to this met a dude  recently ( Igbo dude) at a conference in Perth with a pure American Accent and can be taken has an African America but Alas the dude is a pure Igbo dude who left 9ja in the mid 80's graduated from Unilorin and currently Vice - President with Schlumberger in Houston.

P.s  On Personal Note : ABU ( B.Eng), Uniben( B.ENG),Unilorin(B.Eng) is different from Unilag (B.SC), UI(B.sc) or OAU(B.sc)

Schools that give B.Eng , B.tech have a better curricular than schools that offer B.sc to Engineering Graduate.

Ask from Senior Guys about ABU Top Guns.

You can never be a world class Engineer in Nigeria!
I used to work in Multinational Oil Company but had to turn in the Paper to go work abroad for me to be an international player in my specialist field.

Most of the Concept Engineering , BOD, FEED are done abroad,  real engineering expertise  come to bear from Concept through BOD's, FEED.

My former company would not take advice from a bloody Nigeria Top Engineer without sending a mail for confimation to Houston, even if the Houston Guy's are wrong their judgement comes before yours, Most of my peers back then school at imperial, UCL,Herriot Watt, MIT, UponTyne, Cranfield and still yet no one takes our engineering judgement.

My Brother, if you are in for the money stay in 9ja but if you want to put your name on the world scale, you need to go work abroad with world class companies that are known for Patent stuffs!

@ busy bodi ! where are you in OZ, I am based in OZ precisely Perth. live on MillPoint Road South Perth not far from Mends Street!

OZ is really beautiful with lovely weather, I came as an Expatriate Engineer so cannot really tell you much about student visa application but would tell you OZ is full of opportunities for Engineers, Doctors, Teachers, Lecturers and Nurses.

Once you are on PR , you are given $A 5000 for your baby, OZ people do not like work . They live a laid back life and take things pretty in Perth where I am based but the same can not be said of Sydney and Melb.

Perth is Like Port Harcourt mainly for Oil Workers - Chevron Holds ground here
Sydney is like Abuja/Calabar
Melb is a reflection of Lagos- Exxon Mobil rules here
Brisbane is vibrant as well
Adel is laid back
Canberra is the capital of OZ,it in between Syd and Mel

I hope this help sha.

Hmmmm   Nigeria government is Corrupt !!!!!

I am black and proud to be black !!! from time immoral black man have had shallow reasoning and can not prepare for the future . We live in the present and scared of the future, that is why you see people at the slightest opportunity they furnish their  vault with stolen Public funds and Company funds. Don't be deluded Corruption is everywhere from the United Kingdom to Australia to America to Russia  but there is a system in place to check mate corruption at all levels within this countries.

Until  we eradicate  materialism  at all levels within the country and put realistic measures to tackle corruption in place, we are joking,
No Court of law can try influential and highly connected individuals in Nigeria. ( Judiciary loophole)
No Bill within the Constitution  clearly state what punishment to be melted on corrupt public holder.( legislative Insincerity)
Elected Executive came into power through Selection and not Election ( Executive deficiency )  

So what do you except with the combination of loophole, Insincerity and Deficiency sheer Disaster

Respect to FELA Anikulapo Kuti , His father was a Reverend , His Great Grand father was a Pastor as well and even a renowed Singer with his work in British Museum. His First Cousin is Professor Wole Shoyinka ,  Wonderful family.

FELA Sang many year ago ,

Archbishop dey enjoy hahhahha
Imam dey enjoy hahahaha
Pope dey enjoy hahaha  , my brother wetin you say hahahahah

Archbishop dey London, Pope dey Rome, Imam dey for Meccca.
Imam na lagbadun, Pope na Enjoyment


When FELA sang this song people assumed he was crazy back then in the late 70's ,  BABA 70 na our own of version of the man who saw tommorrow .

The olden day Baptist, Seven Day Adventist , e.t.c where places to learn values,  Christains/Pastors of past years  till mid 80's  were very down to earth and damn Godly.

May God deliver us ooooooo, people that brought religion of christ to us self are not as prayerful as us again but are we as truthful as they are ?
Do we really love our brothers with a plain Heart?
It is written in the Bible that you are the church ,  what happened to this statement?

@ ssaemonel, thanks for your advice

mn

I would advice you marry your Guy, but Pray well! From Personal Experience The Lady I was suppose to marry was not sure back then about marrying me but after running into each other 5 years after at the Palms, she was close to tears in the presence of her little beautiful daugther.
I knew it was me she loved but had to move on her with her life because I was not ready for marraige as I was still pretty young ( 21 Precisely) and just graduated from the uni due back then, she is married with Kids but not happy . I had to put off our telephone calls to save her marriage, though I could control my own end and my marriage.
I would advice you marry the dude if you really love him to prevent future regret. 6 years of dating is not a small time!!!!

Used to work in Bonny Island back then 2005 till 2007 with Shell BTIP , Bonny is really crazy it depends
You could live a cool life and aslo live a fast one ,

Control your third leg and you would control even Beyounce and the likes!!!!

Mechanical Engineers are professional dat provide solutions to problem combining the art of science, maths and engineering together.
no be by pdms, autocad ooooooooooooooooo
if talk of abaqus, anysy, atopipe, offpipe and rest then I would say you are on the right path
Engineers do calcs for pressure vessels to determine shell strength for the vessels in term of pressure containment, Nozzle design ( Orientation bla bla).
Please Donot get it twisted oooo, I don talk my own

I am not from Niger Delta but I have worked long in Niger Delta as a Subsea Pipeline Engineer that pipe the Oil & Gas from Production Platform to Oil& Gas Terminals, Understands the subsea Production Architecture for FSO & FPSO and also come from a family of Engineers!

My brothers the quest for deepwater development started way back in 1995 with Appriasal studies for fields like Bonga, Agbami, Usan, Oyo, Sea Eagle. Royal Dutch Company who first found commercial oil found it in oloibiri in the Creek of Bayelsa in the year 1952-54 , commercial oil was be produced in 1956.
Please do not say what you donot know, Please Go research about the meaning of the would "Delta" and link it up with formation of Oil and Gas natural formation, please read about Petroleum Geoscience /Geophysics, Resevior Engineering , Well dynamics, Sedimentology.

I am not a lawyer but from Travelling and residing in oyinbo countries, I know oyinbo people protect their Land as per Heritage.
In the Uk where we have alot of onshore pipelines , you pay royalities to local community Newcastle Upon Tyne for Example.

A good example is the current Shakalin Development in Russia, Shell is not finding it easy with local community ( Russia ), the Government of Russia put the people first despite joint venture interest with multinational.

In Abeerden, the Hub of Europe Oil & Gas Industry, who born you well not to homage to Abeerden people first in term of jobs opportunity.

France do not produce oil locally, but go to Paris and see Engineering Companies/Producing Coy - Technip, Acergy and Total. They protect their people wella , I mean locally Parisian employee.

I rest my Case,

Pls and Pls do not blame the dudu, I put the blame on the sister! it takes two to Tango.

1. From the word on your Track, Mya was crazy about Aina! Cool but In relationship you love with your Head and not your Heart.
2. When did Aina Proposed to Mya ! Was it Natural or Under Pressure of Mya request.
3. While did Mya wanted to Marry Aina? Cool dude abi, sleek Smart boy- London School of Economics , Bright Future abi, Perfect Gentleman .

Aina might be very correct to say he was not ready, Probably the dude na Career Minded Guy - Want to be a Manager and stuff like that with in couple of years. When you are Career Minded you can sacrifice your relationship/ Marriage to go Up the Ladder, Ask High Flyers  what has suffered.

Please Mya , Take Heart and Ensure things are done Mutually , I am not defending Aina but he might have a very good reason to throw in the Towel.
Accept this as a Blessing from God . I rest my case.


P.s
Many people are suffering in their Marriages but never speak -up! When you enter say Aura for Lag, You see clean dudes - Mostly married but they are still catching fun by the side with opekes Wetin do their wives
Boys that got married Earlier than Me , Still dey Run things with me as a bachelor in those days,,, Aina count your blessings
