Getting an oil company job in Naija is like cutting an Iroko tree with a razor blade.. if you know u know

Tianamen1:
Bros why are you wasting your time educating semi literate people. Most Nigerians suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. This should be clearly obvious to you. We love our abusers and would defend them with our last breathe

Rossikk:
Pardon?

SIRTee15:
Dubai don't have oil....
The guy is right....
despite little natural resources, the leader of Dubai virtually turned a mere desert to a global tourist attraction....
attracting 15 million people and billions of dollars in revenue....

Rossikk:
WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH

This is how you dumb goats end up in slavery in Libya.

UAE is not rich today because they have ''incorruptible leaders''. THAT'S A LAUGH.

Go to Millionaires Row in London, and places like Beverley Hills and Monaco, and see how much billions of dollars oil sheikhs from the UAE, Saudi, Kuwait etc, have siphoned from their countries to enrich themselves and live like kings.

The ONLY THING that saves them from popular revolt is the vast oil reserves they hold, much larger than Nigeria's - plus the TINY population they have in their countries. UAE for instance has less than 10 million people, with 3 times Nigeria's oil and gas.

So they can afford to loot the oil revenues while still keeping their populations happy.

So kindly USE YOUR HEAD next time before posting ignorant rubbish online.

RTSC:
The UK has much better odds. You can't deny that.

It's not a bad thing though. I can't pay all that money and not come out with a decent result with minimal stress.

lilwetdick:
basic necessities arent guarantee for anyone, you have to work for it everywhere in the world, one place might have opportunities than others but does mean, you get everything in a platter of gold.

as you wrote she went to greece because it is very cheap.. so it means she cant afford expensive places because of her pay, people who also earn 150,000-250,000 also go on a vocation to cheap places in Nigeria or outside nigeria too, i guess dubai is a destination for many of them

comfort in life is not an illusion in nigeria, you get comfort in life according to your pay and saving..

lilwetdick:
but are trash collectors not waste collectors also

building a career in the waste collection business is just the same everywhere in the world, if you are ambitious, you can get anywhere, it is also similar process in nigeria..waste collectors becoming owners of waste companies or being promoted that is if you work with govt or some private companies.

yes i understand that artisans jobs are well-paying jobs but a house cleaner isn't a well-paid job nor an artesian job

also going on vacation might not be necessary to travel abroad, it can be to another city to see family relations or just spending time with your family at home, I know for sure, a woman cleaning a houses can't afford to go overseas with her family for vacation except she works for a very rich family who does not need slave labor.

to add, not every worker in western world go or can afford to go on vocation abroad.

lilwetdick:
i think, this is some fantasy... owning a garbage company is different from being a waste collector, owners of gabage companies make a hell lot of cash but being a worker there, they pay less, in the uk they pay £8.69 per hour .

we have different salary structures because of different standards of living and cost of living, i think you are writing fantasy..there are many jobs in Nigeria that gives you time for career development, the companies sometimes even sponsor you.

in nigeria, only an illitrate or a poor person does trash collection, he or she will be stuck for life there because he doesnt have the neccessary skills and knowledge to get a better job.

that trash collector doesn't own any shit like you wrote, as I wrote that was an ad

so the lady that cleans your house, who is paying her, is it not you that is paying her? so she is a millionaire..pls cleaning someone house is the lowest job ever in western society that s why the job is left for foreigners. it is not a high paying job, you ar typing like you pay her in millions. abeg stop your hype.

lilwetdick:
it seems people are getting dumb daily, so you are telling me that man in the pic is paid well as a waste man.. this is the most poorly paid job in the western world..pls forget that photoshopped pic, it was made for an advert. the man isnt even driving the truck

pls get sense, to be a wasteman you need an iq of 45- 60, that is like retardness if he was that smart and educated he would have been an engineer and not a wasteman

which whitewoman will want to stay and live with a richman turn waste man standing at the back of a truck, when things go south white women leave very fast and even divorce you. pls forget all those fantasy from movies.

erifeoluwasimi:
The last time we visited the inherited farm at obokun ijesha, this Hausa people were mining on the land. They were even challenging us until we brought in the king's attention. They negotiate to buy but my father in law said no. Those people are thieves

iTearHerToto:
Soo ugly

codemaniacs:
so in your opinion been middle class is not a privilege...

coding is not hard...

I didn't say anything about "FAMILY" connections...

the connections he made where he did his masters is what's important here...

people are employed because of certifications....

codemaniacs:
nothing about his background....

he went to aptech and got a certificate in java programming.
then he enrolled at the Morgan State University, Maryland to pursue a master’s degree in bioinformatics where he reported directly to the school’s chief information officer (CIO) at the time..

1. he has a certificate.... most programmers are self taught and don't have certificates.
2. he has a master's degree.... In any university or company where you work directly with the CIO which is enough to get the guy the connections he needs...

from the post he comes from a privileged background, it does not matter to companies what you studied as long as you have a certificate or masters degree and have someone that can vouch for you (in his case the CIO)...

not everyone has the opportunity or funds to do masters abroad... once you make the right connections in life, you will "go far"....

I just wonder if the Chinese people also says... "zhuang man working with twitter"..

BuhariAdvocate:
Nigeria is better than America in every aspect I will say it again and again. However I'm not live in America. But today I'm married got many estates,cars and hotels. I'm the most happiest man in the world. In fact my brother that spent over 15 years in Wisconsin couldn't withstand me.

Tunagee:
Go marry at 60+ u hear?

henryhemon:
I'm sure you didn't see the match if you did,you will know that those boys are obviously under 17 - 19 max.,however he should ve been given a chance. Those Nigerian kids are super talented aside the goalkeeper. Go see the match again n come back.

DamolaIbrahim:
Now that we Yoruba are closest southern region to federal power we should solve the unitary problems. Why have the cry from regionalism died since Osinbande became VP. Even tinubu was pro-regionalism before APC came to power. He was secretly sponsoring pronaco groups and conventions before APC came to power. Why is he now silent that he has the opportunity to change the unitary system. Make una dey deceive una self.

If Yoruba does not get us that regionalism that they've been shouting about for donkey years now that Yoruba has the chance, we should forget it out after this dispensation.

CodeTemplar:
1. To start with, Engineering is largely design oriented and not building or development as people like to claim.

2. The Nigerian University system is set up to produce research focused or academic focused graduates and most practical Knowledge we ignorantly ask for from the university system is suppose to be acquired in polytechnics and Tech Colleges.

3. Your lecturers too were taught theories and don't expect them to teach you practicals even if they put in extra effort to get the practical knowledge they posses themselves.

4. the university isn't a place for practical focused skill acquisition. Polytechnics and technical Colleges are.

5. The average Nigerian is delusional and expects too be spoonfed with great ideas and their implementations. As engineers, they give you a knowledge of engineering principles and it is left for you to use your imagination to create things out of the principles you have learnt. In accounting, student are taught its principles and nobody takes them to a real life accounting dept to work, It is up to you to figure out what goes in where as you work with those principles.

DamolaIbrahim:
If we Yorubas cannot get regionalism now that Yoruba have the VP position and Buhari the darling of yorubas is in power as president, that we should forget it.

Any regionalism lamentation when an Ibo or another Hausa president is power will not be entertained.

Buhari your darling Don set standard of shooting and using tear gas on protesters, na standard we go follow forever. Any 'phem' or 'noise' from the SW post-buhari will not be tolerated in future.

Make everybody take note.

luvmijeje:
So what's the work of the state assembly? The National Orientation Agency is not doing what it's meant to do.

luvmijeje:
But do you know the laws that guides a Governor is not the federal constitution but the state constitution. Who are the people making the state law? The people you and I choose to represent us at the state assembly. They live within us. They are my tribesmen. They speak my language.

But during the last gubernatorial election was anybody interested in that race?

ceemac:
I beg to differ on the bolded..

- Some Areas have hard water and you can't even risk drinking it if you like your life. A way around it for people will be through some filter
- You sure have not been to Dr. Flea's market, Chinko full there for cheap prices
- I agree with this but why will I pay $10 to play soccer for 2hrs?
- This is contestable, While I am convinced I did not get as much as I would have loved in Naija. Education and Smartness wise, our foundation is more solid than this system provides for kids. Don't even argue with me, I can relate individually from the perspective of a father that migrated with his family comparing his children's pre and post migration academic standings, the account of a year 1 student that newly just migrated and of course, myself, as a product of both sides of the divides. The only difference is that the society offers technology and resources that can aid research which is left to freewill. In Nigeria, we were 'konked' to learn, is this method the best? It is definitely contestable but I am glad I was 'konked' and it has aided me to be where I am today.

This is me trying not to make Canada seem like heaven.. No space in the world is ideal!

RichBoy247:
Senator, go and change your house Constitution first.

As for State Police, have you imagined the Police being under the control of a State governor like Yahaya Bello, Chibuzom Wike, Ajimobi the Constituted Authority, Nasir El-Rufai, Rocha's Okoroawusa, Adams Oshiomole? In less than a month, Nigeria will be in flames.

Yahaya Bello would have directed his Police Commissioner to go and lock up anybody that bears Dino in Kogi State. Chibuzom Wike would have locked up all the people in Rotimi Amaechi's village. Ajimobi the Constituted Authority would have locked up all students of LAUTECH. After destroying Yinka Aiyefele's Radio House, Ajimobi would have also have gone to destroy Yinka Aiyefele's family house. By now, Adams Oshiomole would have locked up all PDP supporters in Edo State. As for Rocha's Okoroawusa, if you don't have APC membership card, then you cannot even walk on the streets of Imo. Tinubu the Jagaban too would have deported all Omo Yeebos back to Biafran land and dumped them at Upper Iweka.

The crisis of the First Republic started when the idiot called Ladoke Akintola who was the Premier of the Western Region started using the Region controlled police to harass and intimidate Awolowo's supporters. Many Awolowo's supporters and their properties were burnt alive by Akintola's thugs. That was where/when the slang "wetie" came about meaning "wet him/her with petrol and burn him/her". The aftermath effect of the crisis consumed the traitor Ladoke Akintola and ultimately lead to the end of the First Republic.

I support community policing and not police controlled by State or Local Governments.

DeejaywonDJ1:
Sir, Our leaders down here are visionless, there is no policy stopping them from doing it. There are many resources spread all over but they refuse to mine it (human, raw and natural) andwe expect those resources to mine themselves without effort.
