I love I love I love...man,you just revived my hope for chemists in this country. you see,you're opportune to feel and enjoy your core course unlike most of us. Right now, I need you! Maybe this will feel better through a personal interface other than nairaland and yes yes,i need the pack. Berylokafor@gmail.com. *mwah* *mwah*. I'm really excited! Expecting your mail sooooooon.

done ma

alphabbey1:
I just can't wait to be a graduate. Can I have your mobile line please? And your facebook username. Thank you

just send a mail whenever you need a word to vicokafor74@gmail.com. Let's start from there thanks

nkiruberyl:
Woow,im as fresh as you are but your confidence is out of this world. You know your way around,now I'm curious...m.sc starts September and i'm so in need of a job till September happens. I'm in ph, I need your guide.

Chemists in "innovation and product development"...now, i'm confused. Knowledge of current affairs,nice one! Though I go further with gmat and shl. Can u please recommend books whether hardcopy or softcopy I can soak myself in,in preparation for IOC's exams and interview?...IOC,i mean international oil companies(total,mobil etc).
Thanks vstunner!

well about IOC's I think you're already doing the needful. Gmat and serious current affairs is basically it. Though for companies like SPDC that conduct telephone interviews, you may wanna have the pack and their expectation of you. That's all I have on that. Email if you need the pack.. hope that helps

innovation and product development as regards new product formula cards. I had my IT in SC Johnson wax limited Lagos, makers of Raid and Baygon insecticides, mosquito coil, nixoderm etc. At a point we required cheaper raw materials for the coil production that will be just as effective and yet accessible. Only chemistry will break your choice down to its empirical form for in depth understanding and likely applications. It was assigned to me as a challenge and after 2 weeks I came up with cassava. It was tried and worked just fine. That's innovation. On product development, during the ebola period, there was a need for an effective hand sanitizer. We didn't study the virus, but we know exactly the amount of each reactants to put together and save our selves. What started like a lab joke was later commercialized by the same firm and sold in plastic containers to the public. I just love chemistry.

Am still an Industrial Chemistry undergraduate, and am quite inspired through u guys conversation....... God bless u all........ My prayer is just to be employed in a company that will be paying me 90k and above, immediately after graduation.... Mr Vcstunner, hope employers over there are paying well. I mean, cool cash

good to have you. Industrial chemists are not toyed with by those who want to excel in innovation and product development. You as a chemist need to know your course very well on the other hand. Nothing gives confidence like knowledge. Try to know almost everything about life, I mean it won't do you well to have a 2-1 but don't know the name of the immediate past minister of commerce and industry or the coach that took ur national team to world cup in 2002. Little things like this maybe all it will take you to earn above 90k after grad. No one will ever ask you to synthesize cholestryl palmitate on arrival. Let no one ever tell you der is no job!! Jobs are everywhere, pple change it everyday! Be totally prepared.

nkiruberyl:
Wow, congratulations...Nowadays,chemists are not really acknowledged and NYSC is only in schools. Guess it's been a while you served. For multinational jobs, its almost impossible unless with an m.sc. Most chemists are in the bank,schools,companies as marketers,front desk officers etc.

yea true to a reasonable extent. I passed out July 2015 so am quite fresh, just that I knew my way around a little. If you know what you did and think sch is all der is, I see it as choice. But there's always something about experience you can't buy with masters. There must be a beginning (mostly humble ones) and den the projection happens. Am so positive about chemistry. I always feel I can create anything! Like am d most dangerous man alive right now and many of such feeling you know

nkiruberyl:
Really,nice to here. What company is that?
Plus I don't understand that line

OK I meant I didn't necessarily use the certs for the job. I served in the firm and was retained.

The boss

..."he talked as if he was ordering the president"... I mean for real??
people are now arrested for speaking up against a govt by mere tones and not content in a democratic dispensation?. We would all have been dead if jonathan wasn't a hero and true believer in freedom of expression and democracy.

nkiruberyl:
For a chemist with just b.sc in an engineering firm, you've done well for yourself. Can I please know some of the professional certs you acquired and what it took you to get to the firm you are in,right now? If it's too personal an info to dish out,i dont mind giving out my email address.
Thanks!

Project management and health,safety and environment (HSE) certificates. Didn't take neither of the 2 certs for me. Never went to compete with guys in the field, so I got me Stock and Inventory supervisor position. Versatility is key though. My igbo nature is helping

nkiruberyl:
Ok,its institute of petroleum studies in ph. they have various oil and gas courses for m.sc and phd. you can google it for more clarification. Just out of curiosity,as a chemist what are you doing now? Like what have you specialised in?

checked it up.... sounds like a bright idea, though I get the feeling it's quite competitive
No specialties yet, just drifting around with a couple of professional certs, and hoping to get a nod from PTDF for MSc. Currently I work with an engineering firm, nothing related.

nkiruberyl:
Thanks a million @vstunner.i think I've made up my mind to go for engineering in ips,uniport.though it'll cost me an extra year of pgd.but please if you have the knowledge,which of the ips courses is the best bet for me in terms of opportunities out there. They don't have Chem. Engineering but petroleum engineering and other oil and gas courses. Please help me out if you know.
Meanwhile,are you a chemist? I mean,im just wondering because of your indepth knowledge on what I want.
Well,thanks alot!

not really familiar with the IPS stuff, maybe u should key me in. Yes am an Industrial chemist

Seems everyone has gotten a job in nairaland

No one is commenting
It's ok

nkiruberyl:
@vstunner- thanks a lot for this piece.please can you recommend good schools that can be likened to ips,uniport or any institute that I can do the m.sc in petrochemistry for one year not minding the cost?

you may not like the idea of the location but Othman Dan fodio University sokoto may be ur best shot because the department was recently improved by PTDF for that specific course. So it's safe to say you can liken a masters in the sch with what's obtainable in Hertherfordshire, Swansea uni and Co. But other schools exist though e.g UI, AUN-yola, for 18months duration

nkiruberyl:
Thanks vstunner. I actually was thinking chemical engineering b4 the oil industry started messing up and also adding the fact that I need to do pgd first coz I don't have an engineering background. But what if I go into eviromental studies. Like waste management,natural resources,sustainable development, do you think it's viable out there in the labour market?
Are there opportunities for environmentalists in nigeria? Please I need to hear from you thanks!

this country is not stable at the moment for one to predict the trend of things accurately... but all indications are pointing towards agriculture that's why the need for petrochemistry. Biomass and renewable energy resources havn't really found their place in the economy. Except you are an individual who wants to go in fresh to invest. I strongly believe Petrochemistry will compete favorably cuz we are facing a new challenge of finding what else to do with our chemicals. Think of Paints, Bonds, plastics, polymer, recycling companies, fertilizers, insecticides, germicides, pesticides etc. Chem. Eng will be nice too if you have the patience for PGD, but my instinct doesn't tell me much about Environmental studies, Nigeria hasn't found a use for that yet.

Things are definitely changing.... you all waiting till you see our Constitution in a suya joint before you believe you have no right right now... I throway for una

Anambra always in the news and mostly for leading the rest.






You just can't hate this people, they are so everywhere football, movies, academics, craftmanship.. I wish to ignore business. It's just like saying Messi can play football, the world already knows. I duff for una

Industrial Chemistry is a very very versatile course, so wide that you can do your masters even in Chem. Eng. But with the trend of events right now in the country, I really think one should start looking at petrochemicals ( M.sc Petrochemistry ) in that way you are widening ur chances into fertilizers, polymer, oil and gas etc. But a more interesting one is Analytical Chemistry where u can be important in all manufacturing firms and even lecturing combined.

OgunNewsFact:
It is distraction when those involved are the over 70million internet Fashola or Amaechi or Fayemi all of the APC. Suppose they are from the PDP, they are rogues.

just suppose is the other way round, Wike APC and Amaechi PDP.... I just think the pple of rivers can't afford self pity on Wike. I support Wike 100% but am saying, sue the man and get there money back! Period!!

This guy doesn't have a name yet.....Powerful is an adjective. Until we know his name, then we consider taking him seriously.

Document Indicts Rotimi Amaechi Over N96 Billion Corruption

Document Indicts Rotimi Amaechi Over N96 Billion Corruption and Misappropriation (EVIDENCE)
amaechi

Evidence emerging indicates that the former governor and Nigeria’s minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi may be in serious trouble soon following the recent release of a white paper detailing his indictment in corruption investigations against him by the Rivers state government under Barrister Nyesom Wike for the misappropriation of the sum of N96 billion naira ($400 million) during his tenure as governor.

The document, the White Paper indicating Mr. Amaechi in a corruption investigation. exclusively obtained by REPORTS AFRIQUE also indicted Mr. Tonye Cole, managing director of Sahara Energy Plc, for questionably dealings with the Rivers State government under Amaechi.

Mr. Cole is named in the questionable sale of four gas turbines belonging to the Rivers State government and the 40-year concession deal of Olympia Hotel for the sum of $86,250 per year. In the document, Mr. Cole’s company, NG-Power HPS Limited is indicted for receiving a payment of $53 million as repayment for a non-existent loan from the Rivers State Government.

Amaechi is also indicted in the corrupt disbursement of N2 billion designated for Agric Credit loans.

Amaechi was made minister of transportation by president Buhari despite allegations by the incumbent Rivers State government over alleged mismanagement of funds, abuse of executive powers, cronyism, and outright fraud during his tenure as Rivers State Governor from 2007 to 2015.


Amaechi is alleged to have been one of the chief financier of the election of president Muhammadu Buhari. In a televised event mid-2015, it was announced that Amaechi contributed 80% of the funds used to bring Buhari to office as President. In addition, Amaechi is praised by APC leaders for single-handedly funding the governorship campaigns of at least 5 APC governors including that of former Speaker, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.

The Rivers State Government set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate Amaechi’s tenure as governor. The Judicial Commission was chaired by Honourable Justice George Omereji and it submitted its report in October 2015.

In order to stall his persecution as recommended by the Judicial Commission, Amaechi swiftly filed a case against the government. The particulars of the case are as follow: CA/PH/342/2015: ROTIMI AMAECHI V GOV. OF RIVERS STATE. Riki Tarfa, SAN, is Mr. Amaechi’s lawyer.

how much of this blackmail and distractions are we gonna suffer before the real job of governance begins? Drag him straight to court with hard evidence and let's have some peace

Please did anyone apply for petro chemistry (LLS). If any and with past questions in the field, please and please help a broda. And I would also need to want to know the date of the exams if anyone has an idea. Thanks a million. Vicokafor74@gmail.com
And also, do one need obtain admission for masters first considering the fact that it's LLS? Anyone with vital info on the later should pls fill me in. Thanks all

The carnal mind understandeth NOT the things of the Spirit neither can he know them. Why? They are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED or understood.
1 Cor. 2:14.

Op and his likes: It is the end that always justifies the means. A day comes, when every knee will bow to HIM who made it.

You mock divine miracles: Soon, you will need it and God will laugh because man, from the beginning, has depended on his infinitesimal wisdom and that has failed him. Truly, God's wisdom is foolishness to the wise. Salvation is what you need to truly be alive.


Jesus, all the way!!!

my challenge with you all is that you think God thinks like us. He's not biased like u and I. For thinking like that you're speaking blasphemy against his holy ways. No one can correctly predict God's mind you know...don't think for God. We all have a purpose on earth, mine maybe to make u a better believer, and the OP's could be to throw consciousness into our gullibility. But at the end, we are all quite disposable and those who makes it to heaven will only do so by his special GRACE according to the bible. Don't judge yet. Religion has killed more than it has created.
