Did anyone force them to go for NYSC call up?

Or are there no staunch Biafrans willing to employ them without the requirement of the NYSC discharge or exemption forms.

So You are one of those stupid Nigerians thinking that Biafra is a terrorist group ..GOD HELP UR SOUL
A group under oath to burn down the country if a lawful arrest of an accused was made, is a terrorist group.

A group whose leader promised to return to his mob with the head of the president of the country, is a terrorist group.

you still havent shown proof of the GT job that pays what you claimed except for your words which is only tenable to you..major jobsearch engines pinned it to a lil above 500k for the top3 companies and btw 200-400k for the others. their data is well proven.. proof yours before you call others ignoramus..
Bros you still dey this matter? That N500k you see there is what OND operators will earn in ExxonMobil. Infact with bulk upfront payment, I can guarantee you OND operators in Eket will probably earn over N12m per annum.

Let me tell you a true narrative that might help you to disregard all those fictional and conservative salary data you have been researching.

Whenever I go to glass door to enquire about some type of pay, you get some feedback. Any attempt to go further will require you to put in your own pay package as a way to continue to build their database of records.

At this point, I always turn back, rather than enter my own pay information. Many in my industry are like me, some will even tender any false amount they can think of. Many will never even dissuade you from the false information that you have as fallacy mistaken for fact.

Any graduate engineer in any of the oil majors earn more than N1m per month when you look at the total earning for a whole year and divide by 12months.

If someone tells you he earns N800k per month but has already received a separate bulk pay of over N10m for the year, is that not over N1.5m per month?

Now I am telling you that some will earn that N1.5m minus bulk pay and they have never been promoted and got in as trainee engineers with some of the IOCs.

It is left for you to believe or not. Nobody will show you their payslip. Even husbands and wives hide such from each other.

Now leaving the entry level, do you know some people earn over $2000 dollars per day working as senior field consultants in deepwater operations for some of the IOCs on 28days rotation, so they only work every other month that equals 6months out of 12 months. Every amount or scenario I have ever given, are of people I know. Do you know that some Nigerians working offshore are not even resident in Nigeria, rather they fly into Nigeria for their 28days rotation and fly back to their family in US, Canada or Europe for the next 28days?

Many will never reveal what I have revealed, I also intend to reveal no more than this.

so is it worth the value?


I really couldn't careless if you support pmb, because people like you are fickle minded & easily deceived by politicians who use your little minds for their own ends...


I am for a better Nigeria, just today on another thread, I have had cause to defend this same administration, in the past I have been castigated for supporting a government policy of this government...

however, unlike you, I am objective, because when I criticise what I feel is wrong in one administration, I will do same in another...

I do not have double standards, nor am I a hypocritical cry baby.

the issue has always been, is the website worth the amount spent?

you keep running around in circles with your fellow miscreants deceiving yourselves with websites/portals whose businesses are key to their survival...

now tell me, beyond providing information, what else does the site have?


but hey, you can choose to remain in your filth of accumulated stupidity... your problem, not mine...
You are too partisan to have seen all that the portal would feature, that I begin to wonder if you even read the news at all before posting it on this forum.

The ministry has hinged the success of its drive to revive the solid minerals sector on this portal, just as you have agreed that certain business hold their own portals as a key to their own survival. We all agree the ministry has been dead from inception, so what is wrong to bring it alive with a tool you have agreed have kept global businesses alive and competitive?

Is it a crime that the ministry of solid minerals is determined to leapfrog the doldrums and finally burst into the new millennium 17years late?

That you call that portal as just providing information as if it is a CraigDavid.com website where you go to see upcoming concert dates in the hay days of that R&B star, already belies your claims of being objective.

Let the portal fail to drive the ministry to the heights that they set, then you can begin to call it a waste of money when it has failed to be productive.

For all those who are naive out there, $2m on a portal is not wasted money as long as the portal provides value for money spent. Secondly, the amount is not outlandish and beyond what is globally obtainable.

Do not let ignorant and partisan people worsen your already handicapped condition.

Shell's investment in ERP (SAP) was about $32m
Same SAP for my firm too.

With lots of support from Accenture for certain portals.

We operate a system that integrates many portals into one portal. Infact, those many portals can be regarded as parent portals of other constituent portals.

While I don't know how much it must have cost to set it up and continue to maintain it and expand it, I can bet it is no small millions of dollars.

No! you are definitely very tribal, and that's the only reason you think everyone else swims in your pool; you're only capable of viewing and interpreting everything from the myopic tribal and ethnic point of view, else I cant rationalise how tribe came into this thread.

visit the website/portal whatever you wish to call it & tell me if it justifies the amount claimed to have been expended.


you chaps just make noise & beat your chest on the dumbest things...


yourself & the noisemaker called throwback who is fastest becoming a retarded defender of corruption, need to just shut it...


you all feel its worth 700m? fine... whatever makes you chaps happy...
I am a known supporter of the Buhari regime and one who will not waste time to castigate the government when merited or even call for Buhari's impeachment over the Maina saga.

However, I will not sit back and watch anarchists like you try to make mockery over everything this government attempts to achieve.

You posted a news and your purpose was to castigate the amount like a slowpoke who knows nothing, in a bid to have other ignoramuses who don't even know what salary they deserve to earn as graduates, come online and begin to wail over an amount their lack of exposure has defined as outrageous.

You have not provided the least technical defence to your position. As far as you are concerned, it is much because you have said so, and everyone else must agree with you.

However, I have more exposure than that. $2m on a web portal is nothing as long as it is worth the value.

As for it not being fully functional, even the news report had already alluded to the need of trained people to run it, while also stating clearly that an aspect of the portal features would only be available in Q1 of 2018.

You don't have to be so miserable hopping about and looking for what to wail over.

Shame on you.

you are here defending a website whose links are truncated...

have you even visited it? you are talking of servers & other ICT facilities when people have built ICT centres with domain names for less than 400m...
That you even acknowledge that a website could be as much as N400m will make the lesser members of your mob crucify you.

You have only proved yourself to be conversant with what is obtainable and possible, yet you have allowed your partisanship to poison your thoughts and you have succeeded in poisoning the minds of the naive.

I really thought you could argue brilliantly, i asked for proof, you didnt provide any, you cant even provide a google search page that corroborate you standpoint. other than the total, exxon and shell that pays a little above 500k, others pays between 200k-400k for a GT.
'only in the midst of ignoramuses who even question why a graduate hire should be earning N1m/month when he/she is not the MD/CEO' this is just a wrong conclusion, it speaks alot about your character
Dude, stop arguing with an industry stakeholder.

I do not need an estimated salary scale document to tell you what I earn as salary or what other colleagues of mine earn.

Only outsiders will be arguing with a salary scale document that does not in anyway reflect the reality of our pay check.

Stop arguing like a fool, please I beg you.

I repeat that even HND Engineering graduates working with the top IOC's earn over a million naira monthly. Your estimates only come close with the service firms but when you can earn bonuses of over $250/day being at the wellsite, you end up with even N2m monthly from just field bonus that surpasses your monthly base salary.

There was a time when entry level bachelor engineers earned N1.5m/month at ExxonMobil.

That era of austerity has since passed. Yes I called that era AUSTERITY.

And I repeat my claim that a dude with HND got into one of those 3 firms you mentioned, and had an annual paycheck of over N30m per annum as a trainee who had to undergo more training in France.

Many dudes with HND working for NLNG would see your estimates and just laugh at your ignorance.

However, the less an outsider knows, the better for the food chain structure of the society.

Btw, Nigeria has no patriots on this forum. That much is true.
Look at the niwit supporting corruption because it is done by a Yoruba man under a government with a Yoruba VP.
I pity the gullible people on this forum that take you people serious .
But the US government spent over $9m on a portal that wasn't defence related also.

Since you are trying to falsely imply that only a defence portal should be expensive.

Maybe the itunes website is also for defence yet it gulps millions of dollars yearly to manage?

@ivandragon ,

I think the challenge @Throwback is innately throwing at you to to come up with the technical justification that the cost is not worth it. This pre-supposes a good knowledge of an integrated GIS portal solutions especially as applicable in the extractive industry. If you can show that justification, then it's going to be education to us all.

BUT.........

Your first gaffe is calling it a "website"......... secondly saying "visiting the website" will give you the impression of the cost...to me shows you are total ignorant in this regard.

I worked in the IT field for the first 9yrs of my life, I was involved with and led enterprise project implementation. We invested over $1.6m on ERP for a single organisation..... so when "you people" call it "website", I laugh at your ignorance
Baba you came late ooo. We needed technical experts like yourself to provide objective argument from a technical standpoint that we all can even learn from, rather than the beer parlour argument over cost just because it sounds like a huge amount.

People like Ivandragon will continue to thrive only in the midst of ignoramuses who even question why a graduate hire should be earning N1m/month when he/she is not the MD/CEO.

The few that do, prepare for life post-graduation.

A number of first degree holders earn more than that even in our obodo Naija.
Dude, N1m is nothing as salary per month in Nigeria. Many young guys and girls fresh from school earn that working with good firms that is largely oil and gas related but not limited to that sector only.

Maybe they think all those guys driving new cars and living in Lekki are yahoo boys and girls.
