A good spank!!!

ohh my....ill spank that naughty kid till he is straight....lol

All of u anti-beating couples should change, and hit ur kids a bit....save the world from a future cry baby adult!

voai: So apparently, there is another interview (line manager interview) after the country manager interview.

I guess only 4 lagos guys hv been called 4 now, and the country manager said his is the final stage!

telim: i want to be remembered as the first electrical engineer that design a close system that uses water from a large over head reservoir to turn the blades of a turbine which is connected to a generator via a shaft thereby turning the rotor of the generator leading to electricity.
The used water from the turbine will be channel back to the reservoir and will be allowed to freely fall on the turbine blades and the process will continue till the water level drop to a stage were it will have little impact on the turbine blades as a result of evaporation, though it might take about three months depending on the temperature of such area for the level of water in the reservoir to drop to that level.Its advantages are
it is a green energy that as no effect on our environment.
it will completely eliminate hydro dams or reduce its size drastically, since the water going out from the turbine blade compactment will be channel back to the dam/reservoir.
ship and train engines can be modified to use these system of energy to power itself, and i believe with time car engines will follow.
Thank God after two years have achieve some level of success and i wont give up till i'm 99.9% successful. So that the world will remember as.. hmmm till then.

Here comes the billionth "joker" trying to build a Perpetual Motion Machine!!!

My dear the laws of thermodynamics should not be bleeped with....hands off PPM's


#Feel free to prove me wrong...lol

I want to be remembered 4 my difference, "crazyness"...

...They say its only those crazy enough to think they can change the world, that really do change the world.

Country Manager interview 4 a batch of Lagos applicants on wednesday....

Still on tenaris people.....any other news?

4mula22: I'm still hopeful sha...

Do know d job description of those called for medicals? and was the srd in lagos or portharcourt....

AB Engine: Just heard from my allies who attended the interview on thursday. I am yet to be called up for the event

Let 'us' be sure to keep 'us' posted here then...


See u @OFTZ :-)

AB Engine: I can affirm that invites are being sent out via telephone for interviews with the country manager, line managers as well as a facility tour. Those who have done theirs would be expecting their offers by the coming week.

@voai whats the latest from your quarter?

@wiseoldman, how any further biddings with tenaris? or PWC?

Still chilling 4 mine....hv u gotten the call? when was it? @Abengine, as of frid i doubt if any lag pep has.

.

Nigerians really love each other....from my little experience with well to do Nigerians on the political streets of Abuja, or the Business offices at Lagos Marina and the oil Ftz in portharcourt.

Its seem to me though this hatred amongst Ibos, Yorubas, Hausas is much more dominant in the MASSES and people of lesser means.

Just like a friend told me, Nigeria become a better place when we as an individual are in a better place...so be hopeful ya'll things would get better 4 U, then u'll just find urselves loving each other more....lol

D_gRaNd_ShErifF: coz shell seems to be quiet about our applications

I heard diff folks are interviewing every week...so shell is far from quiet. But d recruitment is in batches. Itll take time to treat all. Unlike some other coys ,shell wont throw out ur application without a reason.

* First come first serve was boldly written when we applied....im also not far from the shoes u'r in, lets be hopeful.

mikedanza: The real question should be 'How did you fail with your 1st Class and 2.1 and how come there are so many successful persons who never went through the direct school route, or had 2.2 and 3rd Class and are so super successful like Dangote'

1. Do not build a glass ceiling for yourself. Einstein was an average student and Lincoln was a failed politician before he had his break.

2. Your grade is really not a true test of who you are. The most persons who are both academically rounded or socially connected, tend to make better deals out of their lives.

3. Real truth is 1st Class and some 2.1 graduates have only average lives in Nigeria. They were too busy to have a life while in school, they got retained to lecture in their schools and had to continue reading all the way to obtain a Ph.D. and had to continue reading in order to write papers in journals for promotions. Or they got a bank job and felt that was the Zenith in life because of a salary of $1000 dollars a month. What a waiter working in the US at Starbucks earns in two weeks after adding his overtime and tips.

4. The 2.2/3rd Class guy in your class joined politics in school and became the NANS president. He went into life and became the House of Representative from your constituency and even rose to become the speaker of the House at age 35.

5. Truth is, those who scored lower grades tend to be turned away from most job interviews (in short you do not get invited to places like KPMG, Some depts in BATC, NLNG, several banks, etc if you do not have a 2.1 and above) that pushes them into entrepreneurial endeavours in which they tend to succeed if they hold on for at least 5 years (the number of years within which most new businesses fail).

6. I had a 2.1 and went into banking. I was with a branch at Obajana cement complex. The complex had just been opened and 'failed graduates and school drop outs' had come to see what they can make out of this business. Each truck load of 600 bags of cement cost about NGN 700k then. The got the ATCs and sold to wholesalers/retailers/construction firms at about NGN 730 to 760. Some sold up to 10 trucks in a day. Besides the margin in cement, they made margins too on the transportation. And so in one year I saw 'failed graduates' build houses, bought cars and got married, while I sat behind my desk doing oga at the top as a Head of Operations with a salary I used to think was very very very BIG! These boys made my annual pay in a few months. As bankers we are banned from running private businesses and could not join.

Of course the cement business crashed as so many persons later ran into it and the margins all but disappeared, but the 'failed graduates' had made their kill.

Finally, information is power. Forget your degree and open your eyes and ears. Augment with a further degree if need be, but remember when the chips are down it is your networking, integrity, track record, presentation skills and your ability to deliver that sells you. And remember Papa God, I do believe in Him alot and He has be GoooooooooD!

Ur post is soo biased!

Im guessing u wouldnt advise ur kids to make a 3rd class just so they can become dangote cement dealers...like 2:1's dont deal cement too. I wonder how an average joe like me would raise capital to distribute dangote's cement

No one is sure of anything, my dear anything can happen, it depends on Gods grace and hardwork..but the truth is its easier 4 u to starr when u hv higher grade in Nigeria, this is 2013!!!

Fyi: Dont listen to people rubbishing hard consistent effort...work hard in school!!!

Also Bill gate, Steve jobs, zukerberg etc were straight A students b4 droping out...

Im not necessary a straight A student, im only talking just so kids out the wont fall for the Elumelu 2:2 swt stories that hurt some of us!

AB Engine: Congrats in advance and how did your interview with the line managers go?

Is line manager intw = Country manager intw?

Yinkagbo: funny u....where do u want the man to get money to finance his new career....i dont need the 5m make he just borrow me his met and mat cert and 650k....make i enter qatar.

SMH

Soo money grows on trees in Qatar....lol

AB Engine: CONGRATS. How far with PWC? You are bound to take some real cute decisions here. All the best

Cute is indeed a fine qualifier....lol

AB Engine: I really cant understand why they have chosen not to keep us informed.

The guys that were called on phone where not queried about their salaries during the interviews.

One other thing to consider is what point of their financial year is this?

I think they are trying to harmonize the schedules of various heads of departments that should be interviewing up alongside the country manager too. lets just hope any of this assumptions are fact

@Abengine et al, got another success mail for the AC, and pre-invite to line manager interview...

On another thread it was ph youth blocking Shell office, protesting their failure in the entry level apptitude test. I smell a combustible of "POLITICIANS" and "IDLE YOUTHS"

Donalð Genes: Every month Fed Govt is sharing money accrued from oil, like, just today our junior minister for finance says that they are sharing 700 and something billions naira for month of june. guys lets face the fact.we are stinkingly rich but the million dollar questions is this oil money trickling down to that poor woman where the oil is being sucked?

Ask ur governor in rivers he recieves the second highest federal allocation only behind awka-ibom...

Aggrippa: in the first place peeps from niger delta are generally and constantly denied admission into universities to study engineering...in most they have to change their state their state of origin to northern state before they are taken seriously....this is carefully calculated effort to emasculate this people...very cruel and barbaric

You're a joke

$uperior:
The Shell recruitment exams are usually leaked to the children of the high and mighty in the society leaving the graduates from the community to appear they are not able to pass the exams.

You're a joke!

@Abengine...nah serious waiting oooo

The interviewer said in a couple of dayz or weeks....lol, thats quite ambiguous

Well personally i can't pick a single "happiest day". I believe in the saying: better days ahead...


Nonetheless a day i wish would be my happiest day would be my last day on earth....looking and smiling at the dynasty i built, the wealth i shared, the change i brought to mother earth, and the peace that awaits me in heaven.

Pretyangel25: The day he graduate with First class. 'wink'

Well, it isn't for me at least....although fun when u'r the 3rd to do it around there in over 3 decades...lol
