Its time to divide this country in any amount of pieces that can be formed just like the soviet union because YOUR A DUA will certainly not do anything about this. The crises in the north is not based on poverty or anything it will be senseless to say so. If we are poor, is the solution to kill ourselves. it is better for this people to kill themselves since they can't survive or go after the government officials who have failed to provide them with infrastructure. The NORTH has always being a war zone, its either they are killing Igbo today, Yoruba tomorrow or total christians; the terrible thing is that the government will do nothing. JUST LISTEN TO NEWS TONIGHT WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOUTH-SOUTH MILITANCY, north - you will hear nothing. It is only things that is economic to the government that they address any other thing it doesn't concern them since it doesn't bring money to their pocket. The best is for Nigeria to divide

North - Nothing
South East - eating
South West - wasting
South-South - chopping

If other non shariaed states decide they want their own, they can go.

ppls.

my email is tabatyour@yahoo.com. Expecting your mail. Cheers.

Look i know how hard it is coming from back home to school in the UK, loads of questions and uncertainties, but one thing is that if you get into school the suffering is just for 12 months, you aint gonna die in 12 months.
Concerning the course itself, alot of the lecturers (in all about 15) only 4-5 are actually university staffs, the rest are people working in the industry hence you get to learn about the latest happenings or changes in the industry. Field trips were organised during my time there to places like Advantica and PII (couldnt make any of the trips cos ur bros was working to pay school fees).
Some asked about the level of difficulty, everything in life could be easy or could be hard depending on the amount of interest you have. Personally, pipeline engineering is a great course and anyone with half an interest would enjoy it greatly.
Am placing some links here for information purposes only for those who want to know more about the course and the school.

Pipe Enge main page:

Penspen integrity page: This page has alot of information for those who can download and read, it would be good because it would give you some background information of what pipe eng is all about.

For those who have questions of a personal nature and dont want to post you can either email me or email any of the people below:

Also you can contact fellow Nigerians who are schooling there right now and am sure alot of them would be willing to help.

Thanks for this, but can you intimate us how possible it is to work and study in the UK fulltime studies I mean, and does the school allow you to pay your fees in installments. also what kind of jobs do you do, pls help us with info. cheers man.

Please can people in the house tell me how much, how and where I can get a tokumbo tipper, 10tons or 20tons. Prefarably mercedes, daf or man diesel.

hmm. I seem to have the same problem. In my own case, the girl is even older by about 1yr, 8 months, I really love her and I don't mind the age difference but my problem with her is this marriage obsession, while i am planning to go for my masters, all that she, her pastors and even my pastors are asking is marriage, when, when, when. I must confess I have a good paying job but I am not just ready.

You don't even know the company you want to apply to which company is "shell Nig Plc" shell has only the following companies in nigeria
SNEPCO
SPDC
SNOP
SNG

of all these only SPDC recruits directly.

Job applicants, get ur facts right.

sorry fellas, shell stopped SITP 2 - for OND graduates last year and that was the last batch. Look towards another direction. chevron runs training program for ND holders, the center is somewhere in Ogun state, check their website for details or google or yahoo the search details.

you are on your own 419.

LOL ,
You are on your own, what do you take lagos or nigeria for, soweto or burundi ehn?

hmm

I can't even get involved with that kind of girl in the first place. So I can't be bothering with what I will do.

Is it normal for a lady to have enlarged breast during her menstruation? about 150% and it goes back to normal after the period.

You guys amuse me, you seem not to understand what is happening in Nigeria. One thing is sure, there is a wide gap between the rich and the poor in Nigeria. As for the salaries so far quoted I don't think there exist any exaggerations. Imagine in Nigeria Oil Industry, some entry level graduate earn between 7-10 million Naira per annum. My friends I am not exaggerating, I am in one of the companies and I know what our competitors pay. So I know what I am saying. cheers.

the five points given by ife-eco are almost very true and all you need. I fall in this class of people and I must tell you he nearly said it all especially the issue of the calculator.
One important fact though is they are other students that have this trait that might not make a first class, probably due to situations beyond their control, departmental lecturers, mistakes in the first year and several others, but such students end up with very strong 2-1; such as 4.4, 4.35, 4.47, 4.3 e.t.c. Now tell me, if some courses had been in their favour, if they wouldn't have made a first; afterall 4.5 is first class.

hmm

[size=26pt]He’s just a jolly good fellow, he’s just a jolly good fellow, he’s just a jolly good fellowwwwww, and thus says by all of us.

Robby congrats. see u in edjeba. wait first are u for HR or SITP, if for SITP see u in edjeba if not see u in shell one day.[/size]

i still don't understand why u guys are bothering about NLNg posts. we can not get there, believe me we can not. the reasons are plenty and i have some of them.

the number of people invited for shell test were less than those invited for NLNG

shell had few stages, after the the test we had only about 300 people left to go for the interview, while more than 50,000 made to the second stage of NLNG

the post for NLNG stated earlier, therefore s many people were involved, the people that were involved in that of shell are not even up to 300 from SITP and the may 200 for HR and finance put together.

as at when the tread started most people had been given bad news and were no longer interested in anything shell.

NLNG was still posting people, and people still believed there could make it so they were always in the tread to get info and contribute.

there were a lot of hocuspocus on NLNG tread, especially at the middle of the tread. in shell we were focused.

I alone know a lot of people that believe the NLNG recruitment process was flawed, i mean a lot of malpractices, so everybody would want to complain. unlike in shell.

u can imagine receiving a posted letter probably from DHL or PANALPINA STATING that you were not successful, isn't that a subject of discussion.

these are some reasons that i can adduce to that but i believe there are other reasons.

may the good Lord be with us all. those going to Edjeba, those waiting and those that will soon be in Mobil, Chevron, Addax, Panoceans, Schlumberger, Haliborton, Saipem, e.t.c > i wish you all well.

CHEERS

I think I can use this post to help engineers in Nairaland

My company a civil/structural engineering firm based in lagos requires more hands in the office. The requirements are simple just send your CV to my box taretyan@yahoo.com
Graduates with a minimum of 1 year experince are sought.
if you have a 2.1 and with six months you can apply
3rd class shouldnt bother.
appreciable understanding of STAAD.Pro and CADS RC smart detailer will be an added advantage.
The pay is conpetetive with that in the industry. if you have any other queries just send a mail to the above address. cheers.

hello nairalanders. long time no post. it unbelievable what about 3 weeks could mean to a person's live. I was on a residencey job in some funny place like that. internet access was very scarse and the only thing i could do is to check my box as fast as a can.

that was where i picked my pre-employment medicals on 18, my mdicals was shifted to 22nd in lagos.

@onavae
so sorry that it came out this way, i believe any disappointment is a blessing. i belive mobil and chevron are waiting for you. you are too connected to be disconnected, u are too informed to be deformed. no mind shell.

that was similar to my problem with chevron and mobil. i will send in application like any other person. they wont even shortlist me talk more of callinf me for interview even though my result was excellent.

@KDB
congratulations o, seee you in edjeba on april 1.

@Robbie Lex
my chairman by the grace of God this post will not die. you wont believe the wonderful help this post has done to people.

@Seun
you one of the most wonderful people in this generation of nigerians.
you can imagine the idea called nairaland. its wonderful.
my cousin in england called me yesterday and was telling me about nairaland you can imagine. all we had to do was exchange ideas about nairaland. Interesting.

@SITP hopefuls
i wish you the best but pls prepare your mind for the worst. without shell you are stilll a wonderful people. and believe in you all. One love my people.

@HR hopefuls
you guys should be getting ready, they will call you soon, believe me

@SITP 1 eners
see you all in edjeba come april 1. may the good Lord in his infinite mercy preserve our lives till then see u.

federal government college, sokoto, fegosok, first FGC and the best since feb 1966. you can contest that if u can.

texazzpete
thanks for ur info so far,
please after the SITP is it all the new staff members that are posted to Port Harcourt or are some posted to lagos.
what do u think civil engrs do in Shell
after the SITP do you automatically get a masters or you would have to go through some other things

if post-UME is cancelled, good for all Nigerians, my brother score 234, 11/13 in English, 13/20 in maths, for unilorin admissions. he was denied even though we were told that the cut-off for the post-UME was 5 and 6 respectively. we heard later the university only admitted enough students from Kwara and Kogi. what manner of federal university is that. I think that is the first Kwara state university while they are thinking of creating the second one this year.

NO MORE POST JAMB!!!!!!

yello ooo. this is what is really called to your tent o isreal. now letters have started coming and people no longer send in reports and good gist. well I am an SITP hopeful myself and I got my letter 17th for 22nd changed by phone to 29th in lagos. as for the HR/Finance fellas. I wish you the very best. so many nairalanders will surely work in shell. cheers

you guys are funny o! whether 280 or 350. all join. na big money o as salary. remember you are being paid for doing what you like doing best. i believe most of you like reading now. abi una don forget the rigorous training una undergo for inside Nigerian universities. as for me it wasn't easy. so shell "intensive" program cannot scare me. Lets just be hopeful. cheers.

my guy not in your widest dreams would you supervise engineers, not even in shell. think of somewhere may be in your own company.

alternatively you can send an e-mail to bernard Osahon that invited you for the test asking him to help you check. try it, it could work. cheers.

yes man you are very correct why do we have
give her her book and we cant say give him him book
or better still give us us book
give them them book
its very true.

one other thing is that English is confused because they borrowed from virtually every language in Europe. you wont the following words are not English origin
attention
advertisement
confusion
caution
and several others

robbie lex, nobody in my group has been contacted so far to the best of my knowledge. these people contacted from your group, how many days was it after your interview, and is that to say that the remaining people are successful. also which people have been called for medicals, please clarify this.

as for u 2good, if you have been given the bad message that they are sorry they cannot continue with you, too bad, but if no mail as been sent to you, feel calm, you will still be called, i think the interview will run till mid-december or end of nevember, so still be hopeful. cheers.
