RomanceRe: Controversy As Legal Child Sex Dolls Now Available In The UK by sowilli: 2:53pm On Mar 04, 2019
candlewax:
I don't understand why It should be controversial. I can sleep better knowing perverts have child sex dolls to fuccck than knowing that somewhere a pervert is tracking a child
your sense of judgement is appalling. Did the perverts tell you they prefer dolls to human? How did they inventors of this immoral thing come to conclusion perverts will prefer doll or they just want to make money. This will be doing more harm than good.

Some people claim interviews will span 3 weeks and it’s in batches, some claim it will end on Monday. Some claim no more invites. Keeping hope alive is different from living in denial or having false hope. It simply means it is not over, I am hopeful for tomorrow, if I am not called, it means there are better things ahead. Can the negative and pessimistic individuals keep away from the thread. We need people to share their interview experience.

Whatsoever interpretations you gave the word "means", it still has deeper meaning in that statement only if you give it a second taught... As you have said, one of it is in your bolded quote.

And I don't see anything wrong if a guy knows his lady needs financial help and voluntary gives a lady money for pressing needs vice versa; well, the money can be a waste if such guy is trying to impress in the lady that doesn't have his interest. same goes to ladies.

Infact, thats another way to express to your lady that you have value for her in the relationship...



Uptown7,
there is no love where there is no giving. The only way to prove that you love someone is when you give and share. There is a difference between spending and giving. Giving is towards a cause, spending is towards “ a waste”. And that’s the reason for this thread. I will give my fiancée money not spend on her. I hope you understand my English. I will give her money to meet needs that are for her profit and Inturn mine. There is a chance ladies make demands for things that are not for their profiting because they feel their guy has money and because he loves them he will “ spend” the money. They demand things or amount of things that they will not on a normal day buy or get if it were there are money.
EducationRe: Why Do Science Students Always Score Higher Than Art Students In UTME? by sowilli: 10:10am On Mar 02, 2019
There are additional skills that come with STEm education and one is speed in problem solving. Thinking fast and solving fast. The ability to solve problems very fast. Art on the other hand requires a slow and steady approach. You don’t dance very fast. You take your steps one after the other. You don’t paint in a rush. You do it gently. One of the things Jamb test is your ability to solve problems very fast. The science students have mastered this, so it is easy .

All I know is that as a guy go for the lady that is within your means...All that matters is happiness and loving each other.
so a lady now is a commodity. The way many of una Dey reason self. Don’t spend on any woman until you are ready to marry her. Something I learnt the hard way. That money is total waste. This is what it has been in the days before us. You see a woman you like, you go pay her bride price... dating and courting are the reasons issues like this are been discussed. Whilst it is important to date, it is important to date someone who has the same goal as you not someone who is within your means. When you raising kids you will see that life is beyond being a “means lady”.

If absolute cut off mark was used then mechanical would be outplayed.
are you saying no mechanical person reached the cut off. Some engineering disciplines can replace another. Met and mat or industrial engineering can replace mechanical. The background being considered is STEM.

What if we have a parallel galaxy where no more graduates would be called for interviews? What does it mean for Mechanical Engineers?
just a word of motivation out of my thoughts. Don’t give up guys. I am thinking this recruitment will be different from the previous ones considering the situation the oil industry is just coming out from. I think they have specific skills, knowledge and experience they are looking out for and if the already invited candidates do not prove positive, they might invite more. So keep the hope alive guys. You will share your testimonies.

Not negotiating before destroying a property that gave people jobs. How many of the people who come out to vote enjoyed the good things he claimed to have done. Some of these politicians should never see themselves as God. There is a God and there are opponents and the people also got a say.

This guy is too sentimental. Guy anything they want to do they can do it so far it's their recruitment program. Graduates abroad who are writing this test also have their NYSC certificates. So what's your headache? Oh! Because you want the job, so others should not get it. Guys let's be reasonable here. I am living in Nigeria and wrote the test, why should I complain? Moreover it is the same test we wrote they are going to write. So let them face the reality too. Most of these jobs are not based on the school you finished from. So guy be patient.
Remember company's HR policies are different. Stop comparing Total recruitment process to Mobil's. Just pray, prepare and hope for the best.
typical Nigerian who hasn’t any sense of humor. I can start to question your reasoning, comprehension and judgmental skills. Where is the complaint or comparison. My post was just a simple thought with no bias. Why are so many of you on here aggressive and always without a deep thought pattern. Next time understand what sarcasm, metaphor and litotes are before making a mention of a post.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Graduate Engineer & Other Engineering Roles At ExxonMobil by sowilli: 6:50pm On Feb 24, 2019
Irony of life. Total was willing to sponsor interviews for experienced hires based abroad, Mobil has progressed swiftly with the experienced hires but are still conducting tests for graduates abroad. In my thoughts, should there be successful candidates based abroad for this first stage for graduates, which I am definitely sure there will, Mobil will sponsor them to Nigeria for Interviews. Total didn’t even bother about graduates based abroad. I think to be fair, Mobil should have progressed with the graduate hire the way they are doing with the experienced. How many of these guys based abroad will apply for 100k jobs in Nigeria. Graduates from Nigerian and Public universities, prepare real hard. It’s a war.. it’s sunday so, I ll recommend Surrounded song by Michael W Smith.
CelebritiesRe: Olajumoke Orisaguna: God Will Judge Between My Husband And Me by sowilli: 11:45am On Feb 24, 2019
egopersonified:
Men, I take God beg una, always try and feed your family and drop something extra, if you think because your wife is a millionaire you can sit back and just enjoy her money, you lie. [b]The only way this can work is when you are her manager, motivator, planner, advicer, etc, she would look beyond the lack of money and focus on the other advantages of having you in her life. [/b]Yes, challenges will come, you can get broke, but doing nothing to better yourself for two years is a disaster.
This is not entirely true especially when a woman values money more than her relationship with people. Now I am not talking about the relationship with the man alone but even with other people. If it were true Tiwa and her husband won’t have issues after all he was her manager. The point is marry someone who sees life beyond money. More money more problems. When you don’t have it, you are thinking of having. When you have it, you start having problems with people. Both situation requires wisdom. I don’t know the nitty gritty of this story and relationship but the truth is Jumoke will look back in the years and see that wealth and fame, people’s applause cannot guarantee your happiness. Don’t call your other man lazy because you have bread now. Imagine coming to say the man has refused to work for 2 years in a nation where there are men ready to work but no jobs. One must question her sense of judgement if she can decide to have 2 kids for a man who has “refused” to work.

Because I was once in abroad. @conclusion.

@How many Nigerians: Not so much but a none in the UK but quite much but much in U.S. Canada when you have your permit.

@local candidates over you: They are not so nepotism as ourselves in Nigeria.

@Relocating: Mobil Staff. Trainee is a staff to be but did not emphasize on that.

Bye
once abroad will mean you were in all these countries to come to this conclusion. Anyways I don’t like to debate. A job with an IOC anyone would wish for. I want to think you are in this process, if yes, I am wondering why you are.

datascience:
Not so.
[b]Jobs are easier got anywhere if you are qualified except [/b]for UK due to their immigration law being too stringent.

Lets be factual here. You wouldn't relinquish a job in UAE to be paid trainee salary in Nigeria where even the living conditions are harsh. The guys in Exxonmobil here in Nigeria are looking out to go to Canada. So you get the logic?

Thirdly, you are being paid according to MOBIL NIGERIA.
how did you come to this conclusion. How many Nigerian graduates land trainee jobs abroad. They have local university graduates just like Nigeria, so why would they hire you before their own local candidates. The Mobil staff relocating are experienced hires not trainee or mid levels.

Nairaland GeneralRe: 5 Secret Life Lessons To Learn From The Chess Game - Become Successful In Life by sowilli:
grin. No 5 is the real message. Keep fighting. Your opponents might make mistake just at the end, never give up At 4, every piece is an asset not just the king. The pawn can become a queen in minute. Don’t take any one for granted. Never think your opponent don’t know what they are doing. Think like they think. Imagine yourself in their shoes, what would you do. Always imagine other people in your shoes and you in their shoes. It helps in your relationship. Be sure about your decisions before you make them and make sure you don’t reverse. It is not advisable to undo a move. Keep moving.

FamilyRe: Why Is It Important For A Woman To Be Financially Independent Before Marriage? by sowilli: 5:42pm On Feb 08, 2019
The answer can be yes or no depending on the two parties. When some man enters a relationship with the mentality of being the boss and having a “ submissive” wife, it becomes a problem when the woman is either financially independent or not. When some woman enters a relationship with an equality mindset and feels a man wants to subdue her, it becomes a problem when she is. Visit the circle of the illiterates and the lower class, there are a few things one can learn from them as it concerns marriage. It’s about the mindset of the two parties. Personally, I support my partner in her endeavors, not because I want to get from her or because she doesn’t want to be “submissive” but I believe we are one. As she grows I grow too.

I do tell people not to entertain strangers on the streets. It’s a dangerous thing to do in Nigeria. You want to ask for direction, enter a store, ask a cab man. Ask the traders. Not me that is walking or passing through the street like you.

mos4phy:
exactly bro. I know too well to not even try to explain my points on here to people like @coolcat. The same problem we associate with nigeria is what's affecting even something so controllable as Exxonmobil's graduate engineer aptitude test. I was in texas a while back - Exxon's HQ and got first hand accounts of how it is being done there. But some people just want to take mediocrity because that's how it is. The only thing i agree with them on is that we can't change it, so no need stressing.

But trust me, if i was in a position of power, i would surely revamp the lazy process of Exxon's Graudate engineer initial recruitment test for Nigerians, that same lazy process that brought about using the inappropriate Dragent test.
stop showing your ignorance and get some real work experience. If you were at Mobil HQ, you will understand that there is a process and a reason why Mobil is using Dragnet for the first stage of this Graduate application. Are you saying the HR Director with over 20 years experience and other top level guys don't actually know what they are doing. Dragnet conducted the 2012 graduate recruitment, have you bothered to ask yourself why they are still using dragnet. Do you think this recruitment was made open by some graduate trainee? Go back to Texas and ask the right questions. you will understand that every global process is subject to local terms and conditions.

One man’s food is another man’s poison. Many wouldn’t mind living in those conditions you mentioned. Having travelled to experience the life in better climes I can say Nigeria is cheap. You can make money and get rich. However, you will use that money to provide basic amenities. In the developed climes, you have the basic amenities but you are taxed, pay heavily for rents and utilities and also goods are expensive. For me. I don’t enjoy living as a third or fourth class citizen.
