[quote author=TheTrueSeeker2 post=89806742]Reminds me of my experience as an Industrial Training (I T) Student 300 L second semester Engineering student back then in an oil company in Bayelsa state.

After the HR processing, (medical, swimming test etc) for new intakes i was posted to Community Relations Department of the company and met my supervisor and HOD.

Two weeks into my job, my supervisor had to go on a compulsory 2 weeks leave and I was recommended for his temporary replacement given my exemplary leadership disposition. On my first day as the new supervisor in charge of ensuring all the speedboats to and fro the Rig are fueled and issued safety gadgets, I discovered a massive undercover deal between my supervisor, the company's boat drivers and the Beach Master running into several hundreds of thousands if not millions daily.




Continued...
Here's a BRIEF detail of the deal.
Depending on the number of staff scheduled for rig trip for that day, each speedboat carrying the required number of staff to and fro the rig is officially entitled to and given a daily 400 litre of fuel. So Admin office sends their list of staff going on Rig for that day, Community Affairs Supervisor adds extra 'ghost' names and beach master adds his own names thereby increasing number of supposed staff and speedboat going to rig for the day. For instance, say only 90 staff members including security personnel are really going on Rig for that particular day requiring only about 9 speedboats (10 on each boat) but on Supervisor and beach master's list you'll see 150 with several extra security boats, that means more boats would be added for the trip to be issued with 400 litres of fuel for that day. Meanwhile, fuel will be issued to all the boats including the extra 'ghost' ones that will collect fuel without going on any trip. The extra stolen fuel would be sold to black market fuel dealers right there at the jetty and all parties collects their shares.

This is just one aspect of the fuel deal. The safety (PPE) deal is another day's story cos the same contractor that supply's the PPE to the company had his boys around to pick and re-supply when fresh orders are made.


So on my first day in charge, I'd received the daily manifest from the Admin Office and my team (my official driver and security) headed for the jetty. I met the beach master (whom by this time had been briefed about me as the new temporary supervisor).

I got to work and presented the manifest for the day and we calculated how many boats would be scheduled for the trip including their PPE's for that day. The boat drivers and their union excos were all in the beach master's office with me at the jetty and I went ahead to brief them on the day's work. I told them we would have only 9 boats for that day and that the rest should leave and return the next day cos I noticed there were several excited boat drivers at the jetty waiting to be fueled.

As soon as I mentioned only 9 boats, I noticed increased side-comments and murmuring. Then one of the boat drivers asked the beach master in a very deep thugish voice "Una neva tell am watin dey?"

I looked at the beach master and he looked away from me as if saying please i don't want trouble.


The boat drivers then excused themselves from the room and asked to speak with the beach master alone outside. After their deliberation outside, they all came in and agreed to let me into the deal requesting my co-operation and participation in sharing the proceeds. They brought out another list and by the time they were done with their juicy explanation and calculation, I was seeing a share they called mine somewhere around N480,000 just for the fuel side for that day. This was sometime in 2002.

I didn't have to think twice about compromising or giving in to this plan. I KNEW I WILL NEVER BE A PART OF THIS FROM THE ONSET. All the while they were speaking and thinking they'd convinced me, what was going on in my mind was how to get out of this without getting strangulated by these desperate cabal. After their spokesman stopped talking for awhile and asked if I was in? I took a very deep breath and asked if they could let me sleep over it and give them an answer by the next morning. At first some wanted to protest insisting that I didn't have any choice and wondering why they were even giving me an opportunity to decide but somehow, they agreed to my plea and we also agreed to schedule only the required boats (9) no extra for that day pending my decision by the next day.

Next day ....




Wao! This is serious o.....I am reading Pls keep writing o

Essenza01:
Jobless husband diaries!!

Here are some guidelines for unemployed husbands with working wives., when you read through with an open mind, you would see it's not she looking down on you, it's just you being smart to be able to have your sanity and getting some advantages while praying for a change.. Hang in there guys, you are not alone, tables turn... you would be fine.

1 - Never discuss your predicament beyond the normal and never show weakness in front of your wife.. "she dont want to see hopelessness"..

2 - buy a lot of noodles, you would be needing it a lot, especially during your strong head periods, you dont win most fights, most fights end with "Oya buy it naa" that's usually when you add the convo to your lost battles ..

3 - your meals majorly come in two options if any
Rice or noodles?
Beans or noodles?
Eba or noodles?

Semo or pounds is too stressful, dont opt to make ... stress was only the surface reason given to you..

4 - sex is usually delayed, when ever you see one just accept and be ready for maybe max two position change, some styles may be banned..

5 - dont come home drunk, I repeat.. dont come home drunk..you remember the pictures of samloco playing "jobless old drunk" in movie scenes... you look exactly like them to her..

6 - some eatable and chewy chewy groceries stops being in the fridge because you are home most-times and eats to chase boredom.. there is always a secret stash in her room for groundnuts, sharp biscuits, cashew nuts, sweets, etc.. she knows you know, take reasonably

7 - you are at your lowest, dont bring friends doing well too close home, otherwise you might get depressed from comparison

8 - in your many many ideas, you know broke guys reason business ideas like Warren buffet , always sieve out the good ones, because telling her some kind stupid stupid ideas would make you look jobless and stupid also.

9 - the best way to dodge Bill's is to watch your words, avoid some topics, you need to be one step or two ahead everytime.. e.g TV shows, movies, food, clubs etc...
- TV shows - dstv bill comes up
- Movies - cinema bill comes up
- Food - restaurant and taking out comes up..

10 - Do house chores, pick mopping... it's easier, you only start when she is done sweeping and dusting, she goes to bath, you zig-zag and get back to watching (how do they do it) ... use water, avoid bubbles on tiles.. you would redo that work even if its next week..

11 - dont leave the sink messy, especially on work days when you are home job hunting and she is out hustling, bro it's an important rule from a man to a man..

12 - with your many insecurities and the devil trying to use you to bring out your alpha Male, pick your fights... yes they would come, but there is an extent to which a broke man fights and argues..

13 - you would owe her cash a lot, she knows deep down that money is not coming back, but be ready to be dragged about it to pay for essentials you cant do without.. she would pay eventually when you have curled away asking God why.. allow her have it, it's one of her high moments.

14 - in your midnight cries, yes "midnight cries" is most times once a week or twice sha, depending on the days activities... dont disturb her sleep...

15 - be transparent, remove password from your phone, laptops etc... if she is being faithful, infidelity is not something you want attached to "cheating jobless old man"... you cant be broke and cheating, they dont work together..

16 - read, read, read... you have to pass her in something, current affairs, global happenings, worlds economy etc... it is an edge when you throw small small insults inside conversations "so you dont know kyari is dead" those are one of your few high moments..

17 - early morning gisting with her while she baths and makes up, makes her happy.. you can lend some money during those hours.. those are your bankable hours, if you want some extra cash, offer to drop her at work, that's if it's not your duty already oo..

18 - at all, at all, try to provide for fuel for generator, darkness and a man being in the house dont usually go together.. you might start having complex..

19 - always use your car weekends, thats if you have not sold hers and she is using yours. When you use your car weekends for functions not personal waka, she chips or outrightly buys fuel that you can manage during the week for your job hunting activities..

20 - look good, work out and have your CV handy. you need to look the role she currently tells people you are doing.." Frank is okay, he is inbetween jobs, but trying out some ideas with friends".. if the friends ask for your CV, always have it handy, delay is dangerous...

21 - dont be gluttonous, eat moderately like a normal human being, if you finish your meals for the week by wednesday, be ready to fall back to your noodles (refer to rule 2) and yes you would come up with different flavours of home made seasonings only you can eat..

22 - try to curtail your mood swings, she is the only one entitled to it, you need to be happy with smiles when she is making conversations..

23 - make business calls or pretend to make business call.. it's important, it gives her hope you are connecting.. "my brother me and you know say na 10k you dey shout like that for"

24 - go grocery shopping with her, you get to use the opportunity to throw drinks into the cart and remove face immediately, if your eyes jam.. you would return that drink ooo..

25 - if she sends you a link from work, read, watch or chat her to discuss with her, otherwise "what are you doing, that you didn't reply my message follows" , what you were doing must have financial gains ooo never use "I was sleeping" as excuse... dont even try it..

26 - dont call her family, send text message if you can.. dont let them remember you ooo..

27 - during your few chances of sex, dont shoot in, "I repeat", dont shoot in... you may find yourself outside by 1am looking for postinol 2
. the stress in looking for the drug would surpass whatever you managed to enjoy.

28 - be ready for "mistakes" of giving you cash in front of people , it's not everytime she remembers to call you to the corner or give you her card.. it's one of those moments you want the ground to swallow you up.. but my brother "dem no dey use shame swallow spit".. it wont last forever.

Let's me rest here first and continue later... but in all, I love my wife... she is that woman that has your back 100%..

The table has turned for me and am back to my responsibilities, it was a tough period, I learnt a lot, from Anger management to laws of power, it's not a fun place to reside in for a long time....

Most especially:
Marry your friend,
marry your partner in crime,
Marry your day1 niga,
your Gee... when you do, no matter the circumstance, you have some level of peace, some room to pickup and some encouragement to guide you through.

Omo 3 Gbosa for you.Very humourous but vital.

AskProf:
He hasn't scammed me but, he has been scamming/ fleecing people by taking advantage of/ impersonating another Nairalander who genuinely needs help.

The video you saw is not Anthony M Okeke. It's is another person's (Nwamabo247, Celestine Nwankwo) video he uses to perpetrate his fraud.

Lord have mercy!

AskProf:
The cursed scammer Anthony M Okeke is back with a bang.

His other monikers include:

Help4Tony,
SavedByGod,
Live4Christ.

He is #375 in Nairaland SCAMMERS List.

Wao! That is serious.How did you know he is a scammer.I was just thinking of talking to some people to investigate his case by locating him where he lives in order to help.

Pls lets us know your past experience with him.Thank you.

The Million and Billion $ are Good!

Having them Without JESUS is Waste of Life..

don't take them as Pirioty! Don't kill Yourself for it !

One cent will not be taken to the other side

Money is paper that humans place value on

There is Much more to life than all that..

Knowing and Having JESUS CHRIST is The ULTIMATE. That's all you should Do at all cost!

Every other stuffs will end here..

Having JESUS CHRIST give Access to Eternal Life .

Having Jesus is cool but having money too makes life meaningful.Abraham was rich in all.You can still have money and make heaven.Poverty is a curse..

Lord have Mercy.

Why waste this young boy's life now ?

Lord have mercy on her...

[quote author=Rosarie post=86628783]People need to look deep before getting married.
If he was rich when you met him and went broke,
Can you stay,
If you are unable to have kids,can you stay?
If you fight for each other through it all,
Stand and respect each other.
If any was falsely accused and sent to jail,
Can you stay.
So many things,
They both went through a great painful ordeal.
I Remeber when I laboured for days,I was in pain but my hubby was in worse,he was just lost,more scared than I and yet I was the one going through the process.
Some are stronger in some places whilst some are weaker.
You are meant to complete each other.
If you tell each other the deepest hurt can you move past it and be stronger
You get.
Nobody is more hurt here
They both are.
The man feels less of a man.
So many thought on the both of them.
Words will be said .
The woman who was raped may have moved on as a stronger person.
Whilst the man is still stuck on that moment.
What they needed was a good counsellor and to Remeber the word,
Till death do us part.
Marriage is deep.
So many things you can never imagine comes up.
If you both will not stick to each other through the rain and the sun please don't get married.[/quote

Quite appreciated..you are a deep thinker.That is why I keep advising married people like you and I to stop bringing there marital issues to Nairaland ...where some (not all )!have infant mentality)

The title is wrong ..from the conversation in Yoruba...the Police officer in Question must have roughhandled and slapped the woman earlier on.

The Video has obviously been edited by the Police to support their narrative.

Believe and trust the average Nigerian police officer at your own peril .

O lord why? I am shocked!

Abi Iru ewo leyin bayi?

So we are gradually moving into full dictatorship?

I feel so ashamed to hear this kind of news..

I could remember as a University student protesting against the dictatorial Govt of Abacha....

Nigerians rise up against this!

othermen:
Buy 7 candles, when it is 12AM, light it all. Call out his name 21 times, do these while fasting for 20days. He will talk to you.

Pls don't kill me with laughter o..People around me think I am crazy with my roaring laughter in the Train.Pls Pls go away joor ..Lol

My eyes are filled tears from laughing �������

Dino you tried jare .Why is it that most poor people always have lots of children?

Look this is not the 70s or 80s or 90s...

Things have changed and are getting worse.

Pls let's think deeply..the Govt is not interested in you ...

Pls if you are still single and about to venture into marriage just have maximum 2 or 3.

God has given us a brain to think.God bless Everyone on Nairaland.

Wonder shall never end! Oyo state have declared that they don't want the Rice again abi Na by force.!

Kilode!

ProfDview1:
There is this lady I like so much, even my friends know that I like her so much and will love to spend the rest of my life with her.

One day, I saw her with my friend and I later asked her why she is so close to my friend. She said they are dating each other, that she cannot marry me simply because I am tailor.

My friend is a yahoo boy, he doesn't have any work. The only way he eats is via internet scam. To be honest I was so pained, moreover she is not the only lady to have done this to me. Have met several ladies that told me that they can't marry a tailor and they end up dating yahoo Boys for my street.

They always tell me to leave my tailoring job and go hustle like my frnds to make cool money.

Guys, I am tired.. Should I leave the tailoring job and join my friends to do the yahoo stuff?

Girls keep rejecting me up and down and I am fed up.

Pls advise me

My brother you need serious counsel.

Take all the Glory Lord

What is wrong with our people these days? I am a man and I detest this ! It so common these days that if any lady is caught the next thing is for some frustrated , obviously sex hungry men with the support of some demented women to naked her!

Haba!


If any Lady is caught stealing pls do the needful .Just make sure she is locked up in Police cell and then sentenced.

Praise God.Thank God also for advancement in medical science

Hmmm.I can't see any Yoruba name among the listed my friend.Besides Overseas ,they don't know any tribe If you are caught on the wrong side of the law.It either you are Nigerian or not.

The thing is that this kind of incident will affect or may unofficially slow dowñ the issuance of Visa to genuine travellers

[quote author=Chi59 post=88465957]Why people still take the risk of proposing publicly beats me. Do you even know if that person loves you well enough or is even psychologically ready to marry you at that point in time?
Any man that attempts this with me is asking for trouble. I don't like drama. [/quot

You are quite right.
