bought the Econet Sim and Sagem Phone for N18,000 and N12,000 respectively

even had to queue for it and see some over zealous security guy barked rudely at people

i wonder where that sim card is now??

@Topic

Did I say slow day at the firm, I take it back, lots of things have suddenly crept into my plate

I doubt which time person go reach house today!!!!

@Jcob,

Interesting, especially the "give me 3 seconds part"
We should have a discussion soon, we might have similar ideas although i am more interested in online ads,
in 2 ways

1) developing & creating the content for the online ads (not the usual dead body ads, nigerian firms are associated with online)
2) placing this ads on websites visited by nigerians and soon africans in general

any way to contact you outside here??

Jcob:

@ topic,
The weather was hot and thinking level was low. Took around 15 bottles of water. Researching on direct marketing come digital ad in Nigeria for a future project. Research continues tomorrow.

@Jcob,
any pointers on which medium the digital ads will get to the public?, becos, i am interested in creating online ads for companies in the nearest future, any intergration with you?

@Topic,
When you get a project planner to a very technical meeting, he gets very bored and starts wishing, he actually stayed at home today to watch HITV, lol
Still a bit slow at the firm but i expect it to enter overdrive from next month

Meanwhile, the indian cleaner who wanted to tarnish me name has been given the sack, i felt bad for her but she obviously had step on too many toes

Well, my 2 cents here

If its company sponsored and you do not see yourself leaving the compoany any time soon, then you have nothing to lose by getting this degree,

Do you have a previous MSc??, if you dont, its an opportunity to get some letters with your name

and the good book says no Knowledge is lost so i think it will be a win - win situation to undergo the course

@Poster,

By funds, do u mean cash deposits in the affected banks or stock holding in this banks?
Well, CBN guaranteed that no deposit holder will lose their funds so thats all we have to contend with, also NDIC insures you up to a certain limit (cant remember now),

Personally, i think it will be throwing the baby out with the bath water if SLS liquidates the banks, most likely i think we might see a senario where this banks are acquired by other financial institutions including all assets and liabilities,

So, i would advise your friend that if its deposits he has in these banks and he is very much uncertain about the future then he prolly has to come to naija to move them to other banks,

@doctor
the jury is still out on SLS, if these whole banking stuff ends as it stands now, we will award him a huge F9

@netotse
decent letter, i am awaiting my drink when you get the job
theres also AMEC, although i am not sure if they deal in the Power sector in Naija sha, u can check them out

@debosky
its called the Myer-Briggs personality index, it tells which kind of person you are, i.e Sensing, Facilitation, Thinking, Introvert, Extrovert etc

We did it when i was in Uni and trust Naija boys, we came out strong in all traits and the lecturer (oyinbo) was like "Its a bit odd for people to have all the traits together strongly", wetin concern boys, we just wanted to go home!!!!

Nice one on getting ur stuff done "in time" when you have to collate info from other departments, its always a pain in the ass especially in my area where i have to send the info to the client for approval before commercial guys can send an invoice,

@General
I saw Andy Cole on NTA (AM Express) today with some Glo guy, some promo for the sponsorship deal between Man Utd and Glo
I would have though Funmi Iyanda would have done that interview, is she no more the main Presenter on that programme?
The lady who did the interview is a "VERY BIG ERRRMMMER"
She errrmms every 2 words!!!, I wonder what poor Andy was thinking about

Looks like people on the network formerly known as Econet, Vodacom, Vmobile, Celtel and now called Zain may be getting a new network name, and its from our friends in Bombay, That particular license has been cursed!!!

@Jaybee,

decent covering letter

@netotse,

i hope u get to intervew stage and get the job
in some years time, people like you will be running the power sector

@Topic

Easy days at the office
Next week might have more work involved

@netotse

Corper Aju wa ya, !!!!!

@MrCrackles, "largest european enginnering conglomerate"

@netotse

na so ooo, if to se na naija, she for get a "totally different response",

, might even lose her job if d strings are pulled more tighter

@ebariba, i will send you an email, i still dey learning curve oooooooo (just getting to the STEEP part on the S- Curve)

@Topic, today is a slow day at the shop
meetings and more meetings (pls i never reach my oga Ajanle level ooo, someday sha)

I have been really thinking of buying a nigerian owned website (not nairaland though)

I think the guy is "under running" the site, it should able to generate more revenue and I would like to change the structure, i am generally okay with the content although it could do with a better font & more information

I know a lot of guys in the Uk who visit the site so a quick generation of revenue will be the likes of Lebara, western union, GTB but the guy only gets sparse adverts from some naija companies, well, we will see

@ Mr Crackles,

its a project with "Grid", due to blah blah blah concerns i cant state the full name of the project

but some of your guys are going to be working on it (Design phase for Murphys)

Meanwhile. i went by one of your offices at Byfleet & New Haw some weeks back, was going to drop by and ask for Mr Crackles, lol

Tell him to do the Llyods TSB job for the year

Get some "UK Experience", then think about relocating back to naija

Its definately a no- brainer,

well, i did not really cry over her but rather the state i was when i saw her


i left her house in good shape to go to the club
and next day, she is calling me while i slept outside the club in front of a cach machine, lol now

i cried when she said the last time she saw me i was normal and now she is meeting a drunk,
and i was suppose to travel that day, man, i was a wrecked guy that whole day,

Hello Peeps,

slow day here at the office, but

I just dey on my own and one indian gal (the cleaner) wan put sand inside my garri ooo
She went to report that i swore at her when i was busy trying to get something out the door albeit late in the day (8.00pm)
I was very angry becos i tried to apologize to the same gal for staying late, not knowning she went to tell tales against me

Not a very bright start to the day but hey, we thank God, it has been sorted

Last week,
sort of bittersweet

I finished my share of the work and i think the client is ok with it , , Got some "Attaboys"

but unfortunately, a member of my team was shown the exit door, ,
project sponsor not liking his quality of work, and he was the only other "dudu" with me
and we are only 4 weeks into a potential 2 year contract, men i fear weather ooo

It just made me realise that working as a contract staff is high risk, high reward, every penny has to be kept in savings cos u can be booted at any time,

God dey sha, we will do our best and hopefully, it will get us far across the finish line

Meanwhile, Glory Glory Man United, And the Reds, keep marching ON ON ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Oga Ajanle, hope say i no blow ya cover oooo, anyways hope you have a safe trip back to gidi
I don commot for aberdeen since oooooo

@Wilife,
yeah Chika Mordi was also a guy in the media spotlight too, i wonder y he did not get it

well, maybe this new guy might be Tony's stooge (he might still be pulling the strings in the background)
and he felt Chika & Victor will develop a mind of theirs so he brought in another guy

@Offtopic,
I don tire to dey dobale (postrate) for airport ooo, its getting a bit embarrassing and it looks like me peeps expect it all d time
maybe, i will change profession to mechanic, lol

but he just got another loan with standard chartered,

1) did he get more favourable terms for the Standard chartered loan (interest rates)

2) is it a matter of using another banks money to pay another bank

3) What is the fuss about him making the repayment early or not, (did he plan not to pay the money initially)

4) As an industralist, he should have been able to use that money in another sector of his business (maybe yes, maybe no)

@Tollu, don't worry, it is well

@bluediva & argentina, welcome here

@Topic,
Looks like i made a mistake on Friday, me Project Director might not be the happiest guy but hey, life has to go on
Hopefully, its going to be a chilling/ relaxing / reconcillation weekend,

Offtopic,
I would have thought Victor Osadolor would have been made the new UBA GMD,
Surprised to see the new designate who has not really been in the media prior to now (i stand to be corrected)
Anybody with inside gist??

I hope this guy will not be like Tony in the area of (Exceptional Items) and i think they should put the brakes on the African Conquest, this should be time for bolstering balance sheets,

?

Kpele ooo Tollu,
The Good Lord will be your strenght

Naija police are the worst of the ilk, very very incompetent bastardos

Stab in the dark here but me thinks, Ajanlekoko is currently is Malaysia (Petronas tower, flat face peeps, 7hrs time diff, malaysia-truly asia) , then would proceed to China (maybe a Huawei deal, mouth moving faster than speech in movies), then travel to Dubai (recent wahala on the Nakheel bond), I can almost guess where you work now,

You do not have to confirm the above hypothesis,

@Topic,

Man, its manic here ooooo
Deliverables to be submited to client on 29th, everybody running in circles and unfortuanately, most circles are crossed with me like Venn Diagram
People shying away from responsibility and passing the buck
I forsee sleeping in here the whole of next week,

man, thats a very big issue for some peeps

no show after prior show,

Hello Jomonic,

how are you doing?

Do you work in Nigeria? if you do, what is planning & control like there?

Do you normally resource load your programmes, how often do you have to add extra cost cos i knw in Naija, prices go up & down at any time,

what do you meet by planners


Planners range from "Project Planners to Urban & Regional Planners, Supply Chain Planners to Maintenance Planners"

Well, i am a project planner and cuurently use Primavera 6.2,

Anyone in my line of work should give a shout and lets rub minds,

The main reason i will want to do an MBA from LBS is networking, in my line of business, i will need as much contacts as possible

so if some time and N2m will increase my network (hopefully, appropriately), i will pursue it

@poster, if you already have a job, then u can give LBS a shout

now dats hilarious,

lol, wo ma mutalab eee oo

@ammamat,

seriously, if he does nt call u after the first kiss then u should be on a rocket dat will take you far away from him

besides, there is more to a dude than him being tall & handsome, infact thats d spec of a real player

my sister, put your attention on other things and Mr Right will fall into your hands

and i really hope you do not speak the way you type, if not meself go run oooo, well afta,

Thanks Debosky,

Happy New Year all,

Congrats to you Diggler for being the first person to post for the year

@Topic,

Today was just series of meetings and Project Initiation discussions

Man, just one day into contracts and I am already missing being a permanent staff
Permanent staffs have about a week to "jollof" before works sets in, but here, we kick off from the word go but I no fear them sha,

Looks like i have a decent team to work with so I say bring on the work,
