TIME 11: 30,
COME WITH CALCULATOR, ID CARD AND 2 PASSPORT PHOTOS,

i guess thats why i posted this here, i need to talk about this b4 i do something even a lot more crazy

KiKi N Busta!, Thanks life is all about learning, for me no hard feelings, i just move on,

Ya!! may be i did ,, But at least i could have taken chance of the situation to do what most men will do, SLEEP with both of em , while i had the chance, but i didnt, cuz i want to do right!, i did pick the kid sister to get back at the older one, i thut she really liked me, but now i know better, its a part of her own grand design to get back at her sister, , my own be say them 4 just leave me out!!,

kiki:
@wills
now who are u talkin to damn he is losing it

@Busta
girl ax him again because i think that man is losin it

Howdy ladies, (kiki&Busta), am not losing it, am still in the right frame of mind, i said that cuz i thut that Bad mouth @defacto ,is the lady in question, i kind believe she hangs out at this forum too, , she's been really bitchy to me lately at the office, am trying hard not to get nasty too, and to make matters worse her kid sisters over the weekend has started acting strange, she's saying stuffs that to me suggest she wants to get rid of me, i just realised am the one in the dark here, seems this two sisters had a score to settle and they are useing me to play bait, My Goodness, I been Had, Women! really aint nothing but trouble!!!

---- I KNOW ITS U Masquerading AS de facto , I CAN SEE YUR THE REALLY LOSER HEAR WITH A BAD MOUTH, TOO, , U WANT ME VAPOURISED WELL, DONT FEEL BAD CUZ I MADE MY PICK, SHE MAY BE YUR KID SISTER, BUT SHE A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN U WOULD EVER BE, MISS WILD THING!!!

Dalby:
The way you are going, you are bound to lose both of them. The younger sisters move was a bad move and would have implications on all 3 of you!!!

i dont want this to happen, i cant afford to lose both, i guess the kid sister knew the elder one was not serious with letting what ever she had for me show, thats even if she had anything, ( cuz with women you never too sure, the min you open your mouth , then they slam you with the Suprised oh NO!! , you got it all wrong speech,

i didnt set out to get into a relationship when i got employed into that office, and if i end up with a fellow collegues sister, its not all that bad, so ni cant see why she cant justaccept it and lets all us move on!

Busta:
lol, real funny

Dont see whats funny, about that, God sure is in controle

Sure Kiki, will do, i will keep u posted , , i just added ya to my yahoo Msg, so i can leave u offline message from time to time. Peace and thanks!

i just figure out that sometime emotions dose not grow with age,

Guess thats the best option now, cuz am really crazy about here kid sister now, n i dont want this issue to come inbetween us. Thanks kiki, ,appriciate

Been thinking of just having an open disscusion with her about it, but if m right and i know her for what she is she will deny that she never felt anything b/w us, and since i dont think i can go back now , i feel talking to her is not really important, but i hate Biffs, thats my problem, one day am trying to jike with her n the next we just faceing our PC acting like the other person is not there.

I really praying for another job now, or to jus get moved from that office,

kiki:
well the point is u still want her and u just had to settle for small because u don't think u are man enough to handle her


I dont think being a man or not being one enough is the question here, i just dont want to be amongest the numbers, you get it right?




maybe she just trying to keep her distance from her lil sisters boyfriend because u know she don't want the sister to think their is somthin going on between you 2

I never thought of this, i guess so, but she dont have to be biffing me just to keep her distance, and her  kid sister already  knows we used to joke a lot and play lota pranks in the office.

initially ya! but rite now, i think i have gone too far , to turn and go back, , when a woman show this tough exterior attitude, , she is bound to scare some folks away, i guess thats what made me run,, its jst my luck that i had to pick her kid sister,

Ya @ Kiki, she is younger than me, that make her kid sister even a lot younger then me,, but age aint nothing but just numbers, she did ask me the younger sister , of my age and i told her, the good thing about me is i can pass for 25 or 26, but i just clocked 30 or there about,

Hello All, since we are talking about  romance i thut i share this with  all of ya. 
i  have or should i say had this female friend in my office, i was getting used to,but nothing serious, always playing pranks and sending mails back and fort,  u know, just acting the fool with her,  some how,  i almost started having a thing for her but i fought with  that feeling. she for one, is a very HOT chick, guys hit on her like crazy, at the office and even when we sometimes  go home togthere from work i didnt want to just join that long line of spinners. But as faith will have it, while fighting with myself,  to suppress any emotions towards her, i met here kid sister,  and instantly we fell for each other,n  she was game, she didn't hid her emotions like her elder sister who's my colleague, so whats a brother to do? other than to ask her out,  ,  the sad side of the tale is that my friend and colleague is now biffing me, we don't joke or talk as we used to,  i  tried to conceal all thats going on b/w me and her kid sister, she knows but she can't really tell how far we have gone. The problem  with her is, i know i can't  Handel her, even if i were to date her, i feel she will be a bit too much for me to Handel, even  though she by far younger, in terms of age,  she has been a good friend and a good colleague, i don't want my dating her sister to come b/w us , things might change but i don't want a biff b/w us,
Please people if you do read this , What should i do ,  because every day, 5 days a week i work with her in the same office and most importantly for me i don't want to because any hic ups b/w her and her kid sister,

So my quest is for  HELP! i don't want to lose a friend and colleague and then gain a relationship with her sister,

Supply Chain Management Goal and Challenges September , 2006



The ultimate goal of supply chain management is to completely “synchronize” every supply chain cycle with the customer’s final demands. In reality, however, the goal is difficult to meet. Most customers face two business environment challenges, the “globalization” of the world economy and the emergence of the “customer economy".

Globalization of the world economy has resulted in extending supply chains, as customers seek comparative advantage and access to new markets. The emergence of the Customer Economy has changed the way businesses respond to demand. Product life cycles are shrinking, R& timelines are shortening and the demand for a greater variety of product choices is growing.

The efficient management of the flow of goods, services and information along a supply chain - from the procurement of raw materials, through suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors, to consumers and end-users - is becoming increasingly critical
Focus is on order-fulfillment and demand satisfaction allowing to deliver value through service excellence.







- Further distances and longer lead times to manage
- More complicated transportation routes and distribution patterns
- Increasingly larger number of participants in supply chain
- Increased risk of the Bullwhip effect due to number of additional of trading partners
- More difficult to respond to Consumer demand in a timely fashion
- Greater chance for weather or natural disasters to impact plans
- Communication and coordination problems increase


SCM Challenge: Emergence of the Customer Economy

- Increasingly more demanding Customers
- Decreasing product life cycles and time for Research and Development
- Increase in variety of products demanded - from mass production of small items, to small production runs of many items
- More important to produce what customers want, when they want, as much as they want, and in the proper locations.
- Effective coordination among supply chain partners is increasingly important.





Customer Economy presents SCM challenges

- Customers increasingly want to work with a single provider who can manage the flow
of product and information throughout their entire demand/supply chain
- Difficulty in forecasting Customer demand
- Coordination is required throughout supply chain
- Communication among multiple partners with varying technologies
- Local optimization at different stages within the supply chain
- Reacting to changes and problems in an extended supply chain
- Information distortion and variability within supply chain
- Effective communication and cooperation among supply chain partners

Thanks ishmael, I still have an A/C with that bank, and infact had promoted one of their products D- tap to such a level that some of my friends opened  same A/C with diamond, I never knew they have such an anit HND qualification stance, I will close that account ASAP, and not just closing it, but I will give them my reason for doing this. When this is done I will make sure I post their respone on nairaland.

But sad enough, i don't think many HND holders themselves are not passionate about making a change for themselves, some seem not to just give a damm, they just take it as they see it.  its a shame, a real shame!!

It’s a shame! What people go thru

Can anyone tell me if Diamond bank is amongst banks discriminating the HND qualification?

spread the word, spread the love,

Thanks @ kitaun.
there no response yet, but my aim it just to speak out in my own little way, if i get a response fine! if i dont, thats still ok. Most importantly i just want them to know, that whats going on by totally leaving HND graduates out ,is not in the best intrest of us all

If any organisation must recurit BSC holders only, i think they should also have some sort of recuirment exercise where they also recuirt HND graduates only. as at now i think only Chevron has done such in 2004.

Might i add this, if you Hold a HND qualification, and a bank prides its self that it can not employ HNDs or has no HND holders in its Staffs. I think such a bank dose not deserve your deposit in any way, and make sure if your in the position to chose how funds within your organization or where you work moves around, those kind of bank should be singled out.
What goes around must come around, if a set of people for what ever reason, are not good enough for you, then also i think such bank don’t need your money.

We are indeed getting there with SCM, Logistics and procurement in Nigeria.

Help change of attitude towards- HND


Hi all, rather than, debate the long never ending and sometime unnecessary argument about HND or BSC.
You and I Help in your own little way to spread the change of attitude towards holders of this Qualification, at least let organizations give, HND holders like BSC graduates the opportunity to apply for jobs in there organization and take test, rather than completely sidetracking HND out right from the point of advertising the job opening, example the recent and on going NNPC recruitment exercise, If they fail they fail… only let the best man win, that fair enough.

See the mail below…. Am sending it to major organizations, you can do same , I have sent it to NNPC and SHELL already,



Goodday to you Sir
My mails is short, because I know you must be a very busy man, I will like to ask , that NNPC and its associate company in Nigeria treat Polytechnics graduates with the Higher National Diploma (HND) qualification with a little fairness in comparison with the Graduates holding a Bachelors degree.

The recent recruitments exercises all seems to excludes HND qualification holders,.

It’s only a plea for concern and change of attitude to the teaming well read and technically sound, but unfortunate holder of HND qualifications seeking to contribute their skills and Know-how to a world class company like NNPC.

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards

Glad you can join us @NN, i will get the CIPS address, and other details ASAP,, Thanks for sharing all that info, its really useful. This tread is becoming even more intresting and enlightening with folks like you .

Supply chain management (SCM) is the combination of art and science that
goes into improving the way your company finds the raw components it
needs to make a product or service and deliver it to customers. The
following are five basic components of SCM.

1.PPC (Production Planning)
2.Purchase (Sourcing/Vendor Development)
3.Production (Manufacturing)
4.Despatch (Delivery/Logistics /Warehouse )
5.Stores (Receipts/Issues/ Storage)

A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that
performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of
these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the
distribution of these finished products to customers. Supply chains
exist in both service and manufacturing organizations, although the
complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and
firm to firm.

The group is created with multiple purpose of serving Job seekers in the
field of Purchase/Materials management on one platform and benefit Job
seekers, Employers / Recruiters.

" No Chicken excapes from Tweedys farms" -CHICKEN RUN.

Thanks a great Deal @Polo44… This Info comes in handy, I encourage folks with a budding interest in SCM, and Procurement to avail them self’s of this opportunity and starts building there experience and certification locally, if you find the other ones a bit too expensive to pursue at this point in time.

HND, BSC… what are we talking about here, its not really the difference, but the whole lopsidedness of the educational and certification structure. Polytechnics , University and even colleges of Education graduates are all trained to fit into different palaces in a co-operates
environment( Public or Private) Polytechnics being more practical oriented are supposed to be tutoring engineering and physical sciences more than basic studies at least 80% of Polytechnics coursers should be in the engineering and physical sciences but now , in most schools that’s not the case.

That aside, in a working environment, an engineer is supposed to do a different work from a Designer or technician and that’s how its is with other functions, what I think the real problem is is renumuration and development, the EVIL!!!! being done Polytechnic graduate is not just that you come a grade or two lower than a university graduate in public or even private companies , they also put a cap or ceiling on your career when you get to a particular stag, while your colleagues from university go on.
I have seen case where even after going to develop ones self after your HND to obtain a masters and other professional qualification, you are still discriminated against just cuss you had a Diploma in the first instance and not a degree, this kind is most common in the educational sector.

The solution to this is simple, take all the limitations away from a polytechnics graduates path to career development, even if he comes into an organization lower than or equal to his degree holding colleagues, don’t “HOLD HIM DOWN” let everyone prove what they are made of, university or polytechnic then appraise based on performance and not some piece of paper.

I have an HND, and its No embarrassment to ME!!, I carry myself with that Pride i earned it, it cost me MONEY and a whole 6 YRS of Mylife, so i wont use my own mouth to take that away, its all about getting educated and i thank God i got to this level and have even moved above it,

So if you have an HND qulification, try and live above that discrimination, anywhere you find yurself, and make sure your own Kids dont attend one!!
