Affable0709:
Don't study any unprofessional course.
research on professional courses and find out.

No course is unprofessional

Ourown:
Run away from Life sciences, Nigeria is not developed enough for those courses. Courses like biochemistry, microbiology. And others like Physiology, Anatomy and so. They are wash


Ps: please I'm in need of a job.

Just finished NYSC, I have a B.Tech in biochemistry. I'm 24 years old, smart and tech savy. Computer skills, HSE1,2&3, Excel, PowerPoint, baby programmer (Python), Adobe Pr, Adobe Ae. All in the my bag

Also good with analytical tasks and some experience as a project manager.

Kindly link me up with opportunities. I'm looking for any challenging opportunity to learn and grow while contributing my best.

Thank you, God bless.

NigeriaB:
Please, I beg you in God's name; avoid Biochemistry..

Don't go near Biochemistry., Pleaseeeeee

Please don't make the mistake of applying for Biochemistry please

I studied Biochemistry and I'm gainfully employed. Almost everybody in the same line of career in my company studied Biochemistry and we earn more than doctors.

Jubilancy:
When your village people decide to hands off your matter ........pray he gets found

There is nothing like village people

If you are 30 years and above, get your M.Sc and gather some experience so that you can qualify for experienced position the next time DPR advertises.
Alternatively, apply in merit-based organizations such as KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deliotte, PWC, Banks, Universities (Private), multinationals like Nestle, Guinness, Nigerian Breweries, Shell, Chevron e.t.c. You can be employed on merit and some of them pay better than DPR.
Nothing is impossible for God, but as a human, I feel this recruitment is long over.

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber [an excessive drinker], a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’” (Luke 7:33-34).

Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words says the Greek word for winebibber, oinopotes, means “ ‘a wine drinker’ (oinos, and potes, ‘a drinker’).”

In the Old Testament the word winebibber is used to describe those who abuse the use of alcohol (Proverbs 23:20). Since Jesus drank a little wine from time to time, this opened Him up to the charge of abusing it. Christ, of course, always drank in moderation; He never abused alcohol.

The Bible teaches that it is the misuse of alcohol that is a sin (Romans 13:13; Galatians 5:21; 1 Peter 4:3). Reflecting its use in moderation, Judges 9:13 speaks of wine that “cheers both God and men.”Psalm 104 also presents moderate alcohol use in a positive light: “And wine that makes glad the heart of man” (verse 15).

It’s also noteworthy that Christ’s first public miracle was turning water into a fine quality wine (John 2:1-11), something He surely would not have done if drinking any alcoholic beverage were a sin.

Christ instructed Christians to take wine as part of the Passover service (1 Corinthians 11:25-26). In the context of this instruction, Paul corrected some of the Corinthian congregation for getting drunk at the Passover (1 Corinthians 11:21).Clearly, they were using fermented wine in the observance of the Passover or it would not have been possible for them to become drunk.

IT IS VERY WRONG FOR A CHRISTIAN TO WORK IN ANY OF D AFOREMENTIONED.

That's the truth. Not everybody likes d truth. Trust me

Even though this is not the right place to post this question, I understand that the problem must be bothering you pretty badly. Now, let can me rephrase your question into my own version: Can a Born Again Christian Work In a Brothel as a love-vendor; you know managing the prostitutes?

I'm sure your conscience is answering back right now. Note this down please: NOT ALL JOBS ON THIS EARTH ARE MEANT FOR GOD'S PEOPLE.

Personally, I'd say turn down the job and believe God for better offers,  and why not, a better idea! I believe you sound like someone who has the potential to start something on your own. That is, entrepreneurial ability. I know, because you exhibit the ability to question your actions responsibly. Give it a try. Ask God for ideas. Perhaps, He wishes that you use your gifts to even employ others. I have seen stories like this; over and over and over.

Pray my dear. This is just the beginning of your discovery,

Chou!

Globalistic:
Uncle you can lie.

Is it because he is rich? For me, he should be that age.

seanwilliam:
baba this one no be wetin dem make me believe... if you want to rate person wealth, rate worth value of there investment alone... I for like you to mention any living soul that is richer or on par with those on forbe list. Even if your money no clean self, nothing u one do wey ur money go reach Walmart worth value not to talk of apple , Amazon, Microsoft etc.. there is nothing like u no one show off.. if you get the real money , u go show.. although show off is relative sha( I hope u know what i meant) I'm very sure nobody in nnewi worths 1billion$... nobody!

Nobody in Nwewi worths $1 billion and you are very sure?
What makes you so sure?

seanwilliam:
nobody alive is richer than Jeff Bezos or bill gate.. no matter where u from, even if you be drug lord, no living soul , get money rich Jeff and gate.. be like u no no the worth value of Amazon and Microsoft sha.. those two companies are richer than the continent of Africa combined.. baba, drug lord, politician, assassin, football , all of them combined no get money rich those two guys up there bro.. no dey follow prop

You can't be too sure. That is what you were made to believe.

Ritchiee:
Talk is cheap.
There are lots of IDPs in the East,
NDI AYOYO who are Igbo almajiris exist and then a lot of Igbo are coming to Yorubaland to beg for alms Don't you think that poverty is ravaging the SE?

We have beggars in America. Your statement is illogical.

totit:
So far none of you has been able to come up with any reasonable answers, figures.

The thought-provoking question is, where are those billionaires, are they not a human being like you and I to know who they are?


Where in the world do people claim to have the highest numbers of billionaires out of thin air or without figures?

What numbers or figures were used to compare them with their counterparts in Lagos, Abuja head-to-head, and come to such conclusion?

I dare to say, Abuja and Lagos have the highest number of billionaires. Can you dispute that head-to-head with facts

I don't want any emotional or oral figures my mentions ya all.

Thank you all for your understanding.

It may shock you that if figures are released according to tribe and not location,60% of the millionaires in Lagos, Abuja and Kano will be Igbos.

Ritchiee:
And what will he be importing?
Ships?

What Honeywell...a Yoruba coy... imports,10,000 of your audio rich men cannot import.Igbos are petty traders.This is why your IGR is so small even with the audio largest market in West Africa.

For your information, Nigeria imports virtually everything her citizens consume.
The money in importation business is better imagined. That is why custom generates huge revenue.
These importers have their Mega Distribution Centers in many African countries. We are talking about chains of business clusters across Africa.
One guy in Niger Republic who owns a shop (not a major distributor) makes sales in millions on daily basis.
My dear, we have secret Igbo billionaires and the Igbos know that other ethnic groups hate to see them succeed. Do not expect them to advertise their wealth.

Ritchiee:
It doesn't stop Igbos being the poorest people in the South while Yorubas are the richest.
Only Alakija will buy all those audio billionaires.

One importer in Nwewi may be richer than your Alakija but the amazing thing is that he will never publicize his wealth.
There are people in Nigeria who are richer than Dangote.

Mizwisdom:
But no Land lady, women are nothing in Igbo land, what are you proud of? if men are talking I will understand but for a woman it just makes me laugh. You people need to realize that you're being cheated

A feminist is here

chloride6:
Recruiters dont care if you have an Msc

Stop misleading people...

Finish..

That is how people also kill themselves over stupid qualifications at work like CFA instead of concentrating on delivering value..

I see!

chloride6:
I was hired less than 6 months ago as a Graduate Engineer, so your argument isnt valid.

Recruiters dont care if you have an Msc, that kind of thinking is dead..

My friend too just got a job with world bank and he has 2.1 from Unilag..

If you cannot pay attention to details, I wonder how you handle your tasks at work.

I stated the basic requirement and explained how competitive Graduate Trainee positions are in IOC . Finally, I mentioned that if a candidate can do better than guys with higher qualification and intimidating skills and certification in the job assessment, then he will be picked.
However, Recruiters care if you have M.SC, you will soon find out as you progress in your career. In some multinationals, you cannot even apply if you don't have an M.SC.
Example: You are the HR Director of Chevron and the candidates below are presented to you, who will you give the job, every other thing being equal.

1. Candidate A: B.SC Industrial Chemistry (2.1) ., M.SC Petroleum Chemistry (Distinction)., Age: 25 years., Final Score: 75%. Has demonstrated problem solving skills by researching on many technical challenges faced by petroleum industries with 4 journal articles in reputable journals.

2. Candidate B: B.SC Industrial Chemistry (2.1)., Age: 25 years., Final Score: 75%

Grace and favour of God is very important but washing down the importance of higher qualification is not right. The issue is not the paper called certificate but the knowledge and skills gained. Right now, I intend getting my PhD because there are many ways I can apply the knowledge I will gain to solve organizational and societal problems. It is not just about acquiring degrees.

chloride6:


So when did I get an Msc ?

My boss doesn't have an Msc, same as most of my team members.

People create false ideas about what goes on in HR in IoC not knowing that companies are looking for a basic intelligence and capacity to deliver which have no correlation to Msc.

Hell, my GM has no Msc

And yes i work in an IoC

When was your GM employed?
When were you employed and for which position?
We are talking about what is obtainable today.
You can be employed in Shell with SSCE but the question is which position?
I am referring to Shell Graduate Trainee recruitment. The basic requirement is B. SC 2:1. However, be rest assured that you will be competing with guys who have intimidating skill and qualifications.
If you can do better than them, congratulations.

DonroxyII:
I hope when I finished up my ICAN, I can have a Multinational too .... I lost a Technical Assistant Job with a Program sponsored by DFID due to lack of MSC.... I was even part of the logistics for the recruitment .... Imagine , I wonder why not me ... Organising CVs and making photocopies this was during my NYSC days .... My fellow colleagues that graduated from Abroad already had their Masters ... They all nabbed the job ... some of us Naija grads were the photocopy dudes and serving tea for the recruitment exercise....

I dusted myself up and heed the call of my folks singing MSC song for me since I graduated ...

I even had to jettisoned UBA job for my own ... Bank and their wahala ... Many people think I dey craze but never again should one be hindered.

Such experience could be painful but thank God you didn't relent.
Opportunities will always come for sure.

AlphaT1:
Lolz. I have two masters and currently running a third. I was in the academia and had one in that line....left academia for occupational safety and got a sponsorship to do another MS in OSH.....now doing one in data science.....reason: I worked on a project 2geda with a dubious data analyst who almost messed up my career in safety auditing and safety systems implementation.

Data Science is the future. I wish I have the opportunity to go for one.

chloride6:
Na you sabi..

It's not an IoC sha

International Oil Company is not for jokers.
Shell may likely employ only 6 people worldwide and you may likely be competing with foreign graduates some of them even have PhD at a young age of 25 years with brain-cracking skills and certifications.
I know a young man that completed a degree in Engineering at 19 years and obtained a Masters degree at 21 years, all in the UK. You will be competing with people like this in IOC.

Walexz02:
It's all assumption brother.
Many for go it to avoid being idle after searching for job with no success

Very soon, getting a lucrative job without M. SC will be damn difficult. If you have the money and the passion, go for it.
Even if you decide to go into business after Master's degree, you will do the business in a different way.

DonroxyII:
Thanks sir.

You are welcome dear
In my very eyes I lost a lecturing position in a Federal monotechnic because I didn't have an M. SC.
I had to buy the form and start immediately. Fortunately, M. SC is compulsory for the job I have now and it is not a lecturing job neither is it a Research position but a Management position in a multinational.
I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I didn't go for my Masters because this job is my dream job.

komodapson:
Do not enrol for that MSc program... I repeat, do not . The only reason you can enrol for that MSc is solely if you desire to become an Academic and follow that career path. So you either secure a job in any of our research institute or as a lecturer in a university...but aside from this, Do not.

You are partially correct.
FG parastatals such as NNPC, DPR now prefer candidates with M. SC. They may not state this as compulsory requirements but in the end, most candidates who would be employed on merit must have M. SC.
Secondly, M. SC is compulsory in some multinationals e. g Nigerian Breweries and Ecobank. Other organizations may follow the trend.
In teaching, especially reputable secondary school an M. Ed. is preferable.
Also important, if you score 75% in a job aptitude test and another candidate with M. SC scores 75%, he will be picked ahead of you. The reason is that, many young graduates leave for more degrees after they have made some money. Employers feel cheated because they spent so much on training you, only for you to resign when they need you most thereby making them to start recruiting and training another candidate to replace you. Therefore, candidates with M. SC will most likely stay longer in the job. This will save them the cost of recruitment.

DonroxyII:
This is it....... ... My sister usually tells me .. You can quickly run home to pick your certificates when the time of need comes but you can never quickly run to school to obtain one when the emergency comes.

Everyone should follow their passion , heart desires and calling ....

Wizkid and Davido meet Blackface and Face in the industry ... head no be same !!

You are wise!

chloride6:
That IoC ask for Msc.

Where I work now, you can't even apply if you don't have a B. SC 2:1 + M. SC in some selected fields.

chloride6:
Stop lying

Which lies?

Ibechris2:
U can succeed I agree but pray ur village people are asleep when u go for that ground breaking interview,if not there is no guarantee.

There is nothing like village people. It is just a figment of your imagination.
