The answer is yes, I’ve worked in 3 different very excellent organisations in the past few years and I’ve seen 47 or older people get recruited.
You have the qualifications and years of experience.
Best of luck

NYSC is mandatory if you are below 30 years at the time of graduation.
At over 30 you have the option to either serve or get an exemption.
Meaning people who are above 30 when they graduate can make the choice to do NYSC if they want to or if they don’t, they get an exemption.
Which is why you see some comments about people over 30 serving.
Mandatory for below 30, optional for over 30

Yes you can. It depends on if you had built good relationships before you left and the circumstances you left. Also, if they are compassionate people there. I say this because my sister resigned from a top federal parastatal some years ago to work for an NGO. After about 6 months she couldn’t cope with the constant travel and stress so she went back. Met the HR and she was allowed to withdraw her resignation. And she resumed back.

ornicus:
thank you. what nonsense

this must be what they call female empowerment

taking a clueless person and get their approval on something they have no understanding of

She is a medical doctor

BigBizzy:
Is she a doctor or does she work with disease control?

If no then she ought to go and rest

She is actually a doctor.

Dear Op, plenty hope. I graduated at 30 too. I decided to do NYSC anyway. 30 and above you can to choose to serve or not. I was retained by the organisation where I served. From then on I have risen steadily, I’m working in my third organisation now. At management level. I’m far above my secondary school mates who graduated way before me
In my class in uni then, I had other students far older than I was. One became the NBA chairman of his state recently.
So there is hope. Each of us in this life, our walk is different

Good Day All,

My younger brother has secured admission to an international university that operates a campus in Mauritius.

I am seeking information on affordable student housing from any member who is currently studying or has studied in Mauritius or who is familiar with such accommodation. The school is located in Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated

Every parent wants the very best for their children, especially when it comes to education. It's the one area where no amount is too high to pay if you can afford it.
I don't blame the dad for giving his son the best he can afford.
All our parents gave us the best out of what they could afford too. If their best was a Nigerian university then we should be grateful and thankful to them for their efforts

Those doubting OP's story cuz of the baseball bat, weirdly we have a baseball bat in my family house too. It belonged to my late dad. I have no idea how he came by it and sadly he passed away before I was old enough to ask. So yeah, it's possible he has a baseball bat at home

Well well...similar to me. I had 2.2 in law with a CPGA of 3.4. Though mine was a while ago.
Currently I work in a top organisation, my salary is in the high six figures. I was rated by our overall boss as one of the best performing staff.
My point is your academic qualification can only get you so far. What really matters in the real world is your performance, determination and ability.
And sadly, though it shouldn't be so, in our part of the world, connections too.
Tell your sister to lighten up and congratulations to her from me

It happened to my sister. It was our family car, we had gone out with my brothers, were waiting for her in her in the car, it was night then. A similar car, same colour and make parked beside us. She came out, opened the other car and got in. She only realised when she looked up and the people in the car were staring at her in shock. She jumped out and we had also been looking at her in shock wondering what she was doing.
My friend also told me she had tried to open a similar car by mistake. In her case the door wouldn't open and she started struggling with it, till car owner nearby shouted at her to leave his car alone. They both laughed it off when she showed him her car next to his and the exterior was the exact same

Very nice thing you did there op

As long as there is no bible verse to back it up your pastor's view is just his opinion. Which you can choose to follow or disregard

This applies to countries that can enter the US without visa's for a limited time and in the interest of national security. At least this is a government doing what it can to protect its borders, I have no issue with that

We don't know what is going on in her mind but maybe she feels embarrassed about all the kissing on the first date, depends on her orientation.
Send her a message, tell her you really enjoyed your date and would like to know her better.
Tell her however that if she wants you to leave her alone since she is not picking your calls, you will.
DO NOT call her again, if she has any interest she will get in touch. If not, forget her

Congratulations. MSF is an excellent NGO, with a stellar reputation, doing amazing work all over the world.

Wow! Such bravery...May God bless and protect you to come back safely to your family.

May God bless all Nigerian soldiers putting their lives in the line to keep us safe.

You do but a finer version of balotelli

These are indeed hard times for big players in the offshore sector of the Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. This is occasioned by the global fall in the prices of crude oil and oil Companies are trying hard to survive in the face of the harsh economic climate.
In Nigeria, one of the big players is Alhaji Mohammed Indimi who owns Oriental Energy Resources Limited and a major share in Afren Plc, an international independent exploration and production company with a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange.
After enjoying over a decade of enviable profits from it’s businesses in Nigeria, it seems the Borno State born billionaire is now facing the realities of his financial recklessness and the ostentatious lifestyle of his children which are now having it’s toll on his oil companies.
Information available to Yemojanews suggests that Mohammed Indimi, who was ranked 37th richest person in Africa with a net worth of $670million in 2014 may go bankrupt in the next few months if he does not restructure his family spendings and do a total financial re engineering of his oil companies.
Mohammed Indimi has made Oriental Energy Resources Limited a family business, and every members of the family compete to outdo themselves in plundering the resource of the oil company.
According to source, Muhammed Indimi has seven of his children on the board of Oriental Energy-They are Jibrila Indimi, Ibrahim Indimi, Ahmed Indimi (Head Of Crude Marketing), Mustapha Indimi (Technical Director), Mrs Ameena Indimi Dalhatu (Chief Operating Officer)’ Mrs Amina Indimi-Fodio (Legal council/Director) and Mrs Yakolo Indimi -Babangida, wife of Mohammed Babangida.
A source in the company said the children are always at war and never agree on anything, especially when it comes to spending their father’s oil company’s money, as they fly around the world in private jets, lodge in most expensive hotels, and go on expensive holidays.
The reality is now dawning on their father as debtors are now tightning different noose around his neck to pay up debts running into 500million dollars. Indimi can’t pay up because the price of crude oil had plummeted and the billionaire is confused.
For those who do not know, Oriental Energy Resources Limited was established in 1990 by Muhammed Indimi and was awarded an Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 224 by the regime of former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd).
From 1991 to 1994 Oriental Energy entered into a Technical Service Agreement (TSA) with DuPont Nigeria Limited (Conoco oil) for it’s activities. That was when Oriental Energy Struck the black gold and its OPL 224 was converted to Oil Mining License (OML) 115. Oriental Energy later in 2008 entered into a Technical Service Agreement with Afren Energy Resources to appraise the Ebok Field.
The Ebok field, according to information available to Yemojanewsng.com was discovered in 1968 by Exxon, but the Texas Oil giant deemed it too small for its operations.
However, Oriental Energy and Afren Energy preserved and worked on the Ebok Field and by 2012, Afren had transformed from a London penny stock to an Africa-focused power house worth 2billion pounds. Thanks to the Ebok Field. Afren made sure it began to spread its tentacle in the oil the African countries and Middle East like Congo, Cote d’ ivore, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethopia and Iraq.
As the oil price soared, and oil sold between $90 to $100 per barrel, Afren and Oriental, both chaired by Mohammed Indimi began to spend money as if it was going out of circulation. The bond between Afren’s Chief Executive Officer, Osman Shahenshah and Head of Operation, Shahid Ullah with Alhaji Indimi grew Stronger. Then, the recession came as global oil prices began to fall.
With no money to fund Oriental Energy’s exploration activities in the Obok Field, Indimi turned to his friends in Afren, Shahenshah and Ullah where a deal was struck for Afren to provide a 400million dollars lifeline for Oriental Energy while the Afren executives get some money in return. The deal later blew open and Afren’s board in the United Kingdom had to launch an investigations into the deal.
Around mid 2014 Afren announced that the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher (UK) LLP had completed its independent review into the receipt of unauthorised payments by members of management and senior employees.
“In connection with the conclusion of this review, the company has decided to terminate the employment and directorships of Osman Shahenshah and Shahid Ullah with immediate effect,” the company said in a statement published on its website.
The review found that Shahenshah and Ullah had agreed with Oriental to receive 15 per cent of the net cash flows that was due to Oriental from the Ebok oil field for five years from 2013 in exchange for $400m in funding by Afren.
Oriental paid $45m in 2013 into a special purpose vehicle owned and controlled by Shahenshah and Ullah, who used the funds to pay bonuses to themselves and selected employees of Afren, according to the review.
The WFG’s review found no evidence that either matter was discussed with Afren’s board, according to the statement.
“WFG has concluded that in October 2013 Shahenshah and Ullah entered into an agreement with Oriental by which Oriental agreed to pay 15 per cent of the agreed net cash flows that Oriental was due to receive from Ebok for the period 2013 to 2017 to a British Virgin Islands special purpose vehicle, Ntiti Limited, in exchange for facilitating $400m in funding by Afren to Oriental,” the WFG stated
However industry watchers are blaming the flamboyant lifestyle of Muhammed Indimi, his children and corrupts practices in the oil industry for the woes that has befallen Oriental Energy Resources Limited and Afren Oil and Gas.

I once received an online payment of 300k into my account on a Thursday. I knew in a second it was a mistake. I tried contacting customer service but it was a two day public holiday and I couldnt through. It wasn't till work resumed that the mistake was reversed. It was big money to me but there is never an excuse to be dishonest.

It just shows you that inter tribal marriages have been happening in Nigeria for long and we are all inter related and need to stop this myopic tribal bashing

smellingmenses:
myopia is always generated when the only analytical lenses you have is a tribal one.


immediate past Benue State first lady is named Yemisi Suswam.... for eight years!

Bauchi First Lady under Yuguda was Biodun, a Yoruba lady, the one the people liked the most out of his wives. Another Yoruba lady Grace Folashade Bent was a senator from Adamawa.
I'm neither Yoruba nor Igbo but this tribal BS needs to stop.

This lady, people marry every single day. The rich, the poor and everyone in between.
My point is, stop looking at who is marrying who, you normally meet and marry those you are most likely to socialize with, those you move in the same circles with, school mates, colleagues, etc. there has to be a common meeting point first.
We have inter tribal, inter class (if that is even a word) marriages all over.
The ladies getting married every Saturday are not all daughters of rich, and powerful parents

eleojo23:
You forgot to tell us that rent for a 3 bedroom bungalow in Lokogoma goes for about 1.5million per year.
N1.5million! That is some peoples' rent for ten years in other parts of the country!
It is obvious that most areas in Abuja are only for the rich.

Apart from Peggy's pointe where rents are paid in thousands of dollars, these estates mentioned will not be in Abuja's top 20. And 1.5 million for a three bedroom flat in Abuja is dirt cheap. Rents in Abuja are mind boggling and unrealistic. It's more like daylight robbery, people work hard only for landlords to collect everything at the end of the day, people can't even save.

OP you are very funny indeed, I laughed so hard, great write up I didn't want the story to end. Thoroughly enjoyable.

From OP's response it's clear you know the truth but just don't want to admit. You are saying I don't want to loose her. What advise where you expecting to get here.

For you FYI your "fiancé" is an adult woman, she has met the man she is going to marry. It means she has to tailor her lifestyle to what the both of you can afford. Trust me, that uncle is NOT taking advantage of her. She is a willing party.

Excellent development! The rate of rot in MDAs cannot be imagined. Nigerians are always quick to blame politicians for looting and corruption but it's the public servants that are the real culprits

Wow! Nice one emir

Congrats to her

Buhari copy GEJ? The same Buhari that was a General in the Nigerian army? Who has probably worn army uniform for most of his adult life? Ok o

In any case any Nigeria president is also the commander in chief of the armed forces, hence entitled to wear army uniform.

Silencerh:
Oga, this boy went to studied in the UK using his father's hard earned money. His dad is the General Manager (HRM) of Mainstream Energy Solutions limited; the owner of Jebba and Kainji Generating Power Station. So, him papa no be politician.....na work dey work to get where they are today

Thank you! You sabi am well. Hardworking and determined. I wonder why some people have a problem with anything North. People just want to tear anything good down. Anyhu, no matter what it doesn't take his first class away from him
