If you checked, they asked for upto 5yrs and in others they asked for Minimun of 5yrs in others, so read b/w the lines,

Its not rigorus, all u need do is creat a profile online copy and paste yur CV on the space provided and yur home free in 10 or 20mins.

If you mean if this is entry level vacancy, well i dont think so, but there no harm in trying, if they feel you have what it takes to do the job with a little bit of trainning, i guess they can still hire you and give you adequte training,

Job hunt is no easy task, be ready to go the whole 9 yards,, best of favour

Hello people, read tru and tell us wouldbe investor what you think,

DANGOTE SUGAR THE MARKET LEADER IN THE NIGERIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY

HISTORY/BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY
Dangote Sugar Refinery commenced business six years ago as the sugar division of Dangote Industries Ltd (DIL). The Company, in 1978 initially entered the sugar business through importation and trading of white sugar. In March 2000, the company commenced active production of white sugar and commissioned the sugar refinery located at Apapa Port, Lagos state in 2001.

The sugar division was spun-off as Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc through a scheme of arrangement in January 2006, which transferred all the assets, liabilities and undertaking attributable to sugar division of DIL to Dangote Sugar.

The company's operations comprise two business areas, refining process, marketing and distribution. The company's objective from on-set was to expand local sugar production by refining raw sugar for direct consumption and industrial needs; thereby, reducing the company's dependence on refined sugar importation.

Dangote Sugar is in the business of sugar refining. The company imports raw sugar and refines it into VITAMIN A fortified white sugar at its Apapa factory and sell its products under the brand name “Dangote Sugar” across Nigeria.

Interestingly, Dangote Sugar is one of the very few sugar refined in the world that produces VITAMIN A fortified white sugar under strict (National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) policy.

PERFORMANCE SCORE CARD
DSR Plc has improved on key performance indicators during the immediate past year ended 31 December 2005, continuing the stable growth outlook of the company over the years.

The company balance sheet grew by 2610 percent from N1.28billion in 2001 to N34.7billion in 2005. The company emerged with better assets quality; capital adequacy and strong liquidity position, thereby reducing possible threats from vagaries in the sector. Expectantly, the company also grew gross and net earnings; critical evaluation however shows the profitability of the company is appreciably.

PBT stood at N 8.4 billion half-year results of 2006, while N11.6 billion was recorded for the year 2005. The management is of the view that barring any unforeseen circumstance PBT for 2006 financial year will hit N17.9 billion representing 54.3percent increase as against PBT N11.6billion in the comparable period of 2005. This estimate is achievable if not surpassed.

The management deserves some credit for appreciably reducing interest expenses to N636million in the half of the year 2006 as against N2.22billion in the previous year 2005.

The company operating expenses for the half year is still within acceptable margin given the huge expansionary project the company has embarked on.

EARNINGS PROSPECT
The future outlook for the company in terms of earnings is highly promising. As the largest sugar refinery in sub-Saharan African it is capable of meeting growing national demand for white sugar, given that Nigeria has one of the lowest sugar consumption rate in the world (sugar consumption rate 7.5kg per capital). Source: ISO Statistical bulletin.

Again, the company's plan to take advantage of ECOWAS free trade zone would definitely increase turnover, with strict control on operating expense and favourable pricing, investors returns would be on the high. The management also planned to improve overall capacity by acquiring and developing savannah sugar, which currently has capacity to produce up to 600,000 metric tons of white sugar from own grown sugar cane.

Earnings capacity would be driven essentially by the aggressive marketing and sound distribution network. However, increased demand and favorable government policies are crucial for its products and operations. There is no doubt that the company's projected earnings for 2007, 2008, and 2009 will be achieved if not surpassed.

It is worth mentioning that earnings prospect depend on a number of Bearish/Macro-Economic facts such as:


Political threat - Smooth transition of power in 2007.
Currency threat - Fluctuations in the value of the Naira.
Regulatory threat - Change of the regulatory environment.
Business threat - Production shut down, fluctuation in raw material prices, competition from importers, shortage of raw materials, potential new entrants' threat.
Specific threat - Access to only a single market - Nigeria market.
Environmental threat - Industrial pollution, product contamination, natural disaster - flood and fire.

The Chairman of the company Alhaji Aliko Dangote announced that the company would pay a dividend of N1.00 each to the shareholders for its year ending December 2006 and that the new offer will qualify for the dividend. This in effect indicates that the new IPO is being sold at N17.00 or simply put; an upfront yield of 5.56 percent is available on investment.

It is a fact that the offer is the biggest in the market and the first to be underwritten by eleven (11) big financial institutions.

Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc is offering by way of an offer for sale of 3,000,000,000 ordinary shares of 50k each at N18.00 per share payable in full on application listing opens 15th November and closes 22nd December 2006.


The IPO is being undertaken to give investors an opportunity to become part owners of Dangote Sugar Plc which is currently 99% owned by Dangote Industries Plc. Also, the IPO will also enable the company meet the requirements for listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

RECOMMENDATION:

In our opinion, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, being the only refiner of sugar in the West Africa Sub-region and the second largest refiner company in the world after Dubai, investment in a sugar refinery company is a big investment with minimum risk We strongly recommend the stock for your consideration.

Politics / Ibb, Never Again! by wills(m): 12:19pm On Nov 17, 2006
Just this morning I had a HITTED argument with some of my colleagues at work, who said “like it or not IBB, is NIGERIA’S next PRESIDEN”.

Its they opinion and they are free to voice it out, but its Not going to happen. Why? Well let me explain.

As it stands now, most people say, Vote or not, someone like IBB can become the next president of this country, I somewhat agree.
But let’s not forget one thing, GOD still exist and HE sure rules over the affairs of men. So if one man, and his fellow Evil genius, think they can fool over 100 million people and do that twice in our life time, they must be out of their mind, Infact they are out of there minds.
God the creator of the heaven and the earth, will surely be the last one to judge on this matter.

How can IBB, say he wants to rule this same country, he ones ruled 8 good yrs and left it for the worse?, how can he say he wants to rule a country he failed to appear before its reconciliation commission to defend himself?, how can IBB be genuine enough to want to be the Next President and he fails to account for his RIGHT OR WRONG DEEDS, while in office?, How can IBB say he wants to rule over use again, And he not for once put up a fight when ABACHA was turning NIGERIA into ABACHA NIGERIA LIMITED,.
The same God that stepped in 1998, and saved this Country. Will surely save us come 2007.
People are praying, regardless of religious affiliations, and what we are asking God, is to save Nigeria, Not IBB save Nigeria, and my sincere faith in this is that God will Give us that good leader, if its IBB we will see, if not we also see.

People, if you are Passionate about us having a good leadership come 2007, a change for the better for our dear country Nigeria, then lets pray, and lets do the right thing to our conscience by voting, if they rig, let them rig, GODS watching.

Religion / Friday The 13,why The Fear? by wills(m): 1:20pm On Oct 13, 2006
That's fear of the number 13 —

Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th - The Most Widespread Superstition?

The sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have foreboding reputations said to date from ancient times, and their inevitable conjunction from one to three times a year portends more misfortune than some credulous minds can bear. Some sources say it may be the most widespread superstition in the United States. Some people won't go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't eat in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date.

13: The Devil's Dozen
It is said: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don't have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names). There are 13 witches in a coven

Though no one can say for sure when and why human beings first associated the number 13 with misfortune, the belief is assumed to be quite old, and there exist any number of theories — all of which have been called into question at one time or another

has been proposed, for example, that fears surrounding the number 13 are as ancient as the act of counting. Primitive man had only his 10 fingers and two feet to represent units, this explanation goes, so he could count no higher than 12. What lay beyond that — 13 — was an impenetrable mystery to our prehistoric forebears, hence an object of superstition.

To the ancient Egyptians, these sources tell us, life was a quest for spiritual ascension which unfolded in stages — 12 in this life and a 13th beyond, thought to be the eternal afterlife. The number 13 therefore symbolized death — not in terms of dust and decay, but as a glorious and desirable transformation. Though Egyptian civilization perished, the symbolism conferred on the number 13 by its priesthood survived, only to be corrupted by subsequent cultures who came to associate 13 with a fear of death instead of a reverence for the afterlife


Other sources speculate that the number 13 may have been purposely vilified by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of western civilization because it represented femininity. Thirteen had been revered in prehistoric goddess-worshiping cultures, we are told, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The "Earth Mother of Laussel," for example — a 27,000-year-old carving found near the Lascaux caves in France often cited as an icon of matriarchal spirituality — depicts a female figure holding a cresent-shaped horn bearing 13 notches. As the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar with the rise of male-dominated civilization, it is surmised, so did the number 12 over the number 13, thereafter considered anathema.

On the other hand, one of the earliest concrete taboos associated with the number 13 — a taboo still observed by some superstitious folks today, evidently — is said to have originated in the East with the Hindus, who believed, for reasons I haven't been able to ascertain, that it is always unlucky for 13 people to gather in one place — say, at dinner. Interestingly enough, precisely the same superstition has been attributed to the ancient Vikings (though I have also been told, for what it's worth, that this and the accompanying mythographical explanation are apocryphal).


MY ANSWER TO ALL OF THIS IS

PSALM 118
24 THIS IS THE DAY(FRIDAY THE 13 OF OCTOBER 2006) which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
