I am 3 years older and married, yet in the pool. Just put things in order and get in. Then embrace relevant PNP.

I am on 410 (I didn't evaluate my spouse's credential nor enroll her for the IELTS exam - I regard that as waste of resources because we would still pursue PNP anyways.).

Bros can I PM you , need more info on this please....

As a young fellow getting started in his career, you are doing great observing what may be prevalent.

I think young people should try to get some education about their chances- as you have or as you desire before going to the university to study any course.

You have to consider which is foremost to you- is it to have a successful career in whatever endeavour or to become a successful engineer; if it is the former, such that you are desiring a career for the success output, you may need to assess other courses aside Engineering that may provide readily available opportunities for you.

Increasingly, renowned courses like Law and Engineering needs to be re-assessed by those aspiring for a career in either. Most people are rather desiring for paid employment, when the fields actually has several opportunities to be self-employed, becoming a consulting professional or getting into some start-up.

Engineering is a wonderful course- however the formal labour market in Nigeria may not be so much great or wonderful for the discipline.

While there seem to be far limited formal opportunities for engineers than there are engineers, for those that persevere, and got opportunity to practice in their field- they often have the best outcomes in terms of prosperity when compared with other disciplines. (Check Aerospace Engineering).

There are some engineering courses that gives you significant edge in the informal labour market. Such that you can start your own enterprise right away and become an employer of labour as well. Now, the difficulty with this is the cost of start up and the competence we have instilled which is not geared towards self sufficiency or entrepreneurial spirit. Engineering, accounting or finance, medicine among others are all professional courses that don't require additional post-graduate degrees to maximise the opportunities they may afford. You just have to have right mindset of problem identification and solving to being a structural analyst.

Most engineers that went through Nigeria universities have had little exposure to practical training in Engineering. The universities have focused more on theoretical engineering- when engineering is mostly a practical course. The faculties could have been innovative in building massive workshop that can help instill the requisite skills that would propel a desirable career in most of their alumni; however they are frustrated by the nonchalance of the FG which has crushed what should be the faculty imagination.

What then is the option left to the engineer who can’t get a chance in the formal engineering labour market or who don’t have the resource for a start up?

So a civil engineer for instance could personally take on the supervision of construction or re-construction of housing units or other building structures- massive ones and the small residential ones. In many residential areas in Lagos, you have civil engineers approach owners of old building structures with great plans to pull down and reconstruct the buildings at their own cost, while such arrangement gives them some form of leasehold on the newly constructed building say a two flats now devolved into a six flats. They could have a long term leasehold on 2 of those flats. Now you don’t have to be a civil engineer to do such, you just need to have the requisite skills. However the Engineering discipline gives a confidence in such prospective customers that non-engineers approaching can offer them. Some civil engineers have made more money more than those working in Shell BP by exploring such.

Mechanical engineers on the other hand, also just need a little support to get started in the informal labour market; in sane schools- they are taught the competence to be able to design about anything. As at today, the universities may not offer as much technical skills as you may see in a polytechnic or some technical schools. The mechanical engineer must be humble enough to realize this. After getting around such, the issue then may be the cost of designing whatsoever they desire designing which may be highly demanding and in a nation that don’t support innovation, you have to look elsewhere. I know mechanical engineers that specialize in plumbing for very big building construction firms - designing and supervising the plumbing. Now, some ignorant mechanical engineers sees plumbing as a mere apprenticeship exercise, but with one’s credentials- you become even more feasible for opportunities. This is aside those, that are probably into constructions or repairs of factory machines and intensive trucks such as drilling machines.

I think ultimately in addition to what you may acquire from this thread - you have to understand that becoming successful as an engineer is a function of your own mindset. And for some people with the right mindset, it is in a place like Nigeria where several things don’t seem to work- that there are opportunities. There is no electricity / then there is a market for affordable power plans such that an electrical engineer who is innovative and adaptable can provide affordable solar energy technology to people. Get on LinkedIn, take a look at the profiles of engineers working in great firms, look at the unique skills they have, look at the career choices they have made. It could help you create your own template.

Don’t make costly assumptions based on what you may find in your immediate environment. Many of those people are products of a dysfunctional mindset or of a mindset compelled by the tragic realities of Nigeria. However if you have incorporated such reality in your methodological mindset, you should excel well in engineering or in any discipline you so choose. Those working in the manufacturing that you have interacted with are mostly products of technical education, and they provide supports and take instructions from the engineers, while those who attended universities that you interact with have little to no technical expertise. Again, if you build a methodological mindset towards your career, engineering can give you so much.

You are right and the reason is COREN, they are not helping matter. Imagine non graduate handling industrial equipments in Nigeria , and no one is talking. We are having higher numbers of collapse building due to lack of competent engineers rather we all rely on quack. Many industries are now resolving to employing quack from the street to do engineering job, and the monitoring team are not checkmating this industries. Very very bad….

My advice, study engineering (computer engineering or science) and find solace. Thanks

The wave is spreading

The main Asiwaju of Nigeria HE Asiwaju Peter Obi
#Rock of Africa

I remember when haters said that he doesn't have structure but all their structures have collapsed before their own eyes even before the main campaign started



Peter obi has SE/SS tightly gripped and at least SW at 30%

NC at 25%

We should focus on North West and North East

Bro you dy sick? The whole NC is 100% thank you….

What is the return on the investment to Anambra state?

Nice question… no Anambra govt gone or current has ever criticize it that is to ROI is positive to Anambra.

Kayyy:


See Guys, it is obvious most of us especially youths love Peter Obi, for me he is the most decent candidate compared to the 2 old money bags, but we won't pull wool over our eyes this time around, there is no saint in Nigerian politics, and Peter Obi is not the opposite of a typical Nigerian politician, Peter Obi is just currently one of the most decent and disciplined politician which are so few in the country now, perhaps he is the most popular amongst the decent ones , but he still has his own scandals, although they are little drops compared to Tinubu and Atiku

The story above is true, Kadaria Ahmed asked him on national TV during the 2019 election campaign band the only justification he gave was he was able to make profit for the state from the state funds he put into his family business, but this doesn't justify a governor dipping his hands into government's fund to fund his family business . See rather than trying to paint Obi as a saint that we know no Nigerian politician is, the strategy for this campaign should be pointing out other candidates weaknesses and how Obi has shown strength is those areas, eg education, cost of governance , prudency etc not all this I seat in economy class, my son does not has a car rubbish, enough of that , Jonathan told us he had no shoe during his time, Buhari had 10 cows too and could not afford nomination form , this is stale already even if it is true that Peter Obi seats in economy class, how come it's now it is being recorded band posted on social media for us to see, why not 2-3 yrs ago

Read through that again,
He bought a share for Anambra on the Anambra govt. that is he invested Anambra money, and it generated profit to the Anambra. What is wrong in growing the IGR of Anambra through a profitable business not onto himself. And if para venture Anambra govt is no longer interested they can pull out. And I bet you to this day they are still profiting from the share he bought for Anambra. Just go and verify…

What else do you want him to do? Should he start sharing rice and salt like other Mumu politicians? Leave him he will win by His grace amen…

I think this is a great idea. I'm going to create a group and put the link here



Here's the link:https:///DFD1p2H6dL0IvnCLhKZYt3

Nairaland can't allow it. Just add "chat dot whatsapp dot com " before the DFD

Please let's join, share ideas and job adverts to people that may need it.

Sent you a pm already reply bro

Mightymanna:
Yes with immediate effect. The southerners should not talk about uncivilization when they kill and burn thieves everyday in their towns and villages. Christians did not take their religion serious they always blaspheme using Jesus, God, angels, judgment day, prophets etc check most of commedy skit that are insulting Jesus by the Christians themselves, you don't try that rubbish with Islam you will recieve instant Shege.

Thanks for this…
Because of the freedom of Christianity ppl are insulting the religion Christ and all Christian preachers like christianity should end. I don’t understand our own Christian members I swear

I’ve been on JavaScript for a month now and it’s really making me loose my mind. I would like to know how which platforms helped you

To learn JavaScript buy John Smilga Udemy course and rest….

TheManOfTheYear:
Me I don't have a mentor, I never had one.

Just utilize communities like twitter to get a clear path depending on the path you're taking.
In regards to courses, platforms like YouTube and Udemy, udacity, codecademy are there for you.

If you're stuck with a bug or how to add a feature, you can check sites like Stackoverflow, geeks4geeks etc or you can also read official documentations.

Na so me I dey run am o.

Can’t we also have our own Naija WhatsApp group where we can share challenges and job advert at the same time. I think it will be great

Most of all this people partaking in jungle justice are bunch of thieve. How there you take life that you cant create. Its pains me that this kind of act is happening in this 21st century.

Then police and judiciary should do their work. They are the one encouraging this act....

This is one of the best thread , nice one. But Mechanical is still one of the best, reason being that mechatronic is still very relevant. And with a background in mechanical engineering, you easily get funding abroad and yakpa from this country for further studies. Nice one bro

Good day all,

Can anyone tell me about the career opportunity in mechanical engineering in Canada?

I’m considering applying for a masters degree for mechanical engineering (considering Heat transfer or Robotic) with University of Waterloo.

I already have a masters engineering in industrial engineering, OND, hnd and Bsc in mechanical engineering . With 10years experience in oil and gas as a mechanical technician.

So I jst think education will be an easy route for me. I will be 36yrs by May.

Guys I really needs you guys advice. Thanks

IfnobeGod20:
My own is this, any man that raise up his hand even for once to beat a woman, I lost every ounce of respect I have for him, no matter what. What you don't want, you let go, instead of wanting to kill. They are not animals you point and kill.
This may also not add up. He says, Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki did abortion. Teaching hospital doesn't do abortion except on health ground. I hope he will be able to proof this because it's an indictment on the hospital, against federal medical ethics.

Forget jare! I used to say like this until I jam one of my ex then before I married then I know why some men beat woman. Since then I always want to the root cause.

My story goes like this…

My ex and I was gisting in the room laughing seriously. So I left her to the kitchen to take something, so I saw the gas was on down with nothing on top. So the fire was just burning down all this period say 40mins we have been gisting.

So when I saw this fire from the gas ,I was shocked I screamed baby you put on the gas with nothing and fire is on down. So she said and then is that y I am shouting, that my own is too much y am I shouting. I was surprised. Like is this girl not scared of fire accident.

Before I know she has already started throwing insult to me , so I didn’t answer her. So I wanted to leave the scene. That is leave the house before it escalates. She went to lock the door, she held me by neck very tight. And she hit me. This time I almost reacted( at of reflex, as in my hand went up when I was feeling the pains in my neck seriously) before I remember what I promised myself that I can never hit a woman.

Immediately she saw that I was angry, she then held my neck tight more and hit my chest more and keep saying“beat me na kill me u nor fit beat me beat me na idiot” so I was Jst angry but I was now like so this is how men beat woman.

So when she tired , she left me and started crying like I have beat her all day that I am oppressing her(of wish I didn’t touch her at all). So I went to the room, and I was Jst surprised that this is how men beat woman. So this is how it starts? Na wa ooo… so the shock was with me all through day, so I was like I would have beaten this girl if not that I jst have to accept the pain.

The question is , what if she was so angry she then went to bring a big wood to hit me won’t I defend myself?

Bro or babe pray not to marry a quick to anger person. Jst pray not to, before u may eat ur words you won’t know.

If a woman slap you, knowing that u have said I can’t hit a woman, the next is to pour u acid when u are sleeping. So if u sense any of these from a woman , ends the relationship quick…

So there have been many senerio when my friends and colleagues have beaten their wife then and they gave me the story of how it started , and u will know 2/3rd are caused by women.

Just pray you have a loyal woman. Hardly man hit his younger sister, let alone another’s man daughter , that is to tell you the other man daughter may have even instigated the actions.

Ps: I have been married for 4 years I have never hitted my wife and can’t even imagine hitting a loyal wife like her. She won’t even let such scene happen.

There is no way I would not blame NATO, an agreement was reached stopping further NATO expansion but NATO is going against the rules, that is why am Supporting Russia not that am happy for War.
Agreement is Agreement

Why not fight NATO directly then why Ukrain. He is a coward bro… and a killer…

By what number of years am I older than you?

Kindly pay more, critical attention to Goke7 message (admonition as it seems).
In cover letter, be specific on 'personal' details: technical, process, regulatory...

For instance, in this 'scenario', which caterpillar engines or gas turbines you worked on (not all but just two or three), what did you do on them, what did you achieved with them from engineering and benefit output. You can even approach from what 'risk' you had and how exactly did you avert.

Inbetween, your membership of COREN and or NSE must be intact in addition to UK CEng or IEng or EngTech.

@the underlined, do you stand a chance, probably. However, you'll need an orientation shift from what to how: generic to specific and actionable

Thanks a lot for this…

Thanks for this... Before now I was thinking COREN and NSE is not recognised outside Nigeria, so from this piece it will be advisable for me to register with this engineering bodies right...

Thanks expecting your response

Goke7:


The thing about the UK is that you need to study about the industry and tailor your naija experience to their job specs highlighting the projects you have done and how it relates to the UK industry. They also want to know what you did and not what your company or team did. Also check out the necessary credentials and qualifications that are required for the role you apply for. All Engineering Jobs in the UK are in the shortage skill list and once you can prove you know the job, you can even get a company to sponsor your visa but the question remains do you know the job?

Thanks a lot for this ,
Kindly weigh my experience… I have work as a mechanical tech for 10yrs plus now in the oil and gas industry working on Caterpillar Engines, Gas Turbines, Pumps and Compressors. Also work as Operators for two yes. Do you think I stand a chance securing a job there if I relocate?

Thanks I am anticipating ur respond

Hello everybody, please I will like to know the best way or ways to get into construction job(eg plumbing or hvac) as a new immigrant in UK with a mechanical Engineering degree from Nigeria. I have some professional experience as site supervisor on HVAC project.
All my online search are not too clear about which path to follow.
City and guilds for 1yr to get plumbing certificate or white SkillCard AQP are the top things I have read so far. Please help I am using three weeks already without a job as dependent and all carer jobs I see so far demand driving experience that I dnt have.

Hello sir,

Good day boss. Please , what do you think about the potentiality of getting a job in the uk with a 10yrs experience in the oil and gas as a mechanical technician. I have Beng Mech Engr and Meng Industrial Engr.

Thanks boss

Come to think of it, what are the duties of 513 workers in the states sport's council? Are these workers all functional? and are they delivering their duties effectively?
The answers to these questions are very obvious.

Nigerians just think with emotion.
We want change but we keep doing the same thing the same way.

What are they doing there? They should be sacked , and pay their pension. If immigration officers can all be sacked also, and pay them their pension.
Then employ new ppl in these department.

Abuse, corruption everywhere no task…

This is getting out of hand.... The world will learn to live without Russia, but Russia will hardly survive without the world.

Exactly! Russia is about to crash.... Putin can't win this war, they will be forever be isolated and discriminated. Like if you are a Russian you will be like outcast...

BKayy:
We warned them.

Russia haven't started and silent revolution is brewing in USA. The masses have realised that capitalism is a scam to protect Thieves who feed on poor peoples blood.

Look at the increase in gas price since the start of Ukraine conflict even though Moscow have not started her own sanctions.

I told you people that it is producers vs Consumers.

Is better than declaring full blown war with Russia that may lead to score of death. Better to cry than to die. Over time they will adjust...

Good day all,
