Yesterday it was Shell, today Chevron. Where is the world headed?

When I was busy chasing oil companies for jobs, God saw ahead and told me no my son, it is not what is best for you. Now I know Better.

Same here.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Oil will be useless in next 30 years
Abeg

And so will Nigeria at this rate......I advise Nigerians to work hard and have enough money to japa

Why are u guys pitting them..
some may go home with a pay off of over 100million naira.. that's more than enough to start a good business if they have business sense or better still relocate to other countries..

So from my end zero pity oo..

Let's pray God bless our hustling..

ImmaculateJOE:
They must have cash out big before now..

A sacked Chevron staff is still far much better than an enployed Primary school teacher in a state government school...

Bros. A living dog is better than a dead lion oooo.

Omo...so oil and gas workers go soon start to dey post "buying bitcoin at high rates" and "dm for your men and female wears" for workers
I just piry d 1s that were lavishing anyhow without savings and investments

nairanaira12:
Hmm.. even those useful idiots shouting Sai Baba have kept quiet.

Now, the reality of their stupidity has dawned on them

How is that Buhari fault. Guy don't be stupid.

nedekid:

People don't want to hear those 2 words again ie "next level". They cringe in fear.

They will be fine

They are still employing n paying well o, just that is on strong connection, my friend got a job in one oil company two days ago, on contract tho. Salary was up to 350.

Things dey happen but na for background (connection)

So sad. Its really important in Nigeria to have a fall back plan.

Klass99:


Ogboni, like a cult or brotherhood thing? I don't know about that but I know if you want to win bids and be awarded major projects as an oil servicing firm, you have to grease a lot of palms @ Napims and the NCDMB.

Fail to do so and they will say you lack respect and show you pepper, even when you qualify and meet requirements on merit, you go hear am.

Corruption is not just in govt or an exclusive reserve of politicians o!

that's true.

NawtiKingRealer:


See dis one. Na book wey dem force u to chop u dey excrete so. Dangote go enter upper soon. NNPC arrangee. If you know the twist behind badagry road and lekki-epe road, you go close mouth. Govt no care abt u wey u dey waste time to shalaye.

You people will just be talking about things you know nothing.

For your info upstream is the most risky and the most expensive and I can tell you categorically that Dangote does not have the financial muscle power to drill oil in deep offshore oil fields therefore there is no possibility of them taking over from Chevron.

Mention one Nigerian company that drills in deep sea or in waters beyond 300 meters dept.

Stop spreading useless beer parlour gist here!

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr

Na them Sabi

Because at first how them take get the job....


Nor be my man know man ...so if them want sack them make them sack them

Chevron is different from NNPC or NPA baba. Over 90% of recruitments in multinational oil companies are based on merit. I'm talking from experience.

sweerychick:
Tactical ploy! A wise person said dangote refinery would start operations by 2022. So the game plan is that all this major oil companies pull out of Nigeria. Dangote will take over ..

Sorry I'm drunk

I disagree, there is something they are all seeing ahead.

Starzo:
Do Chevron or shell refine fuel in Nigeria??
Una go just carry phone dey type nonsense

Don't mind them. Many of the commentators on Nigerian social media platforms always make ignorant comments.

Be objective. They are in business to make money and not a charity organization. Staff will be let go due to decrease in price and demand for petroleum products. I guess you want them to pay people for doing nothing at work. Your emotions is speaking for you..

crossfm:
E no shock us.

Anything goes in Nigeria. No one will ask them any question.

The sai babarians will soon blame covid 19.For them the government is doing so well and American is using our blueprint to succeed over there.

This is so true my brother....

FarahAideed:
One of the hardest job to lose in Nigeria is Chevron full time , most people that lose get traumatized as nothing ever looks good enough for them

Buhari o..1984, 2015, 2019...only use ur hand kill Nigeria

Let's pray God bless our hustling..

80 percent of jobs in oil and gas sector are outsourced i.e on contract basis. So when a company wants to downsize their target will definitely be centered on the contract staff. And as you are aware, contract staff ain't eligible for any disengagement largess

Osagyefo98:
Many about to be returned Jobless.
My Condolences are already with those to be affected in the exercise.


One will begin to wonder how we have a professor as vice president but still in this deep shit.
Instead of developing policies to enhance business Environment, he occupied himself with visiting market women and sharing 8000 naira..


Chevron as well should show clemency in dealing with these issues at this particular point because many are yet to recover from covid-19 after effects.

But you can't compare this kind of staffs with those ones on less than 45k a month...I'm very sure that a lot of them would have gotten some huge investment that will cushion the effect of this loss of the job for a while.so many of them have been traveling abroad before so, instead of remaining idle in Nigeria, they might decide to pick their family and relocated to where their service is needed but those 35-350k salary jobs can not do that....
So, don't pity or make jest of these ones because they have what to fall back on

after six months you go know how far,Nigerians don't know how to save

Shakathezulu1:

How is that Buhari fault. Guy don't be stupid.

Lols. You are the one who is both dumb and very stupid.

If the bastard had diversified the economy, there wouldn't have been an excess dependence on crude oil.

Now, chevron said business environment is not conducive. Shouldn't that tell your empty skull something?

What about Aiteo and Lekoil? Na dangote you dey downgrade so? You no get sense at all!! Guy, na game plan. As a business crook, investing directly to the upstream dey beyond him net profit by forbes rating despite him worth pass am. So na to invest 4 downstream first. Dangote na gentle gangster, him be sole conduit to many untraceable coded funds. Do u know why him dey move him business only to the peaceful areas most especially the south and oda africa country? G, u no sabi dangote map plan at all.

Wiseoldman:


What has Chevron upstream business got to with Dangote's downstream business. Chevron does not operate downstream in Naija.

I will give you an advise, which I don't do often do in the faceless forum, it is voluntary so you have every right not to accept it. Always try as much as possible to stick to facts, let's your person be know for truth and nothing but the truth.

Ciao

Refineries are midstream not downstream.

Oil price in the market has fallen so low,way before Covid-19,now that Coronavirus is dealing with the world,you can imagine how lower the prices will go.
Now ur silly self is talking about diversify the economy,what is the major cash flow for Nigeria,is it not crude oil. If it was diversified,will oil companies not suffer huge loss and cut down working costs. So in your mumu mind,you now feel Buhari is the cause of Chevron cutting down work costs. Oga wake up.

Shouldn't the dumb Buhari had envisaged the fall in oil price before he decided to waste $10 billion on crude oil exploration in the north?

Sit back and ask yourself how far $10 billion would have gone with economic diversification.

You are a dumb idiot. But your dumbness has reached a crescendo and you are even confused whether you are actually dumb or not.

We talking about Chevron cutting down work costs,u talking Buhari spending 10billion on oil exploration in the North. Stick to the script dumbo

Oh sorry. You are too dumb to see the link.

What I'm telling you is that diversification would have rendered the job cut announced by Chevron irrelevant.

Now that there is no diversification due to buhari's failure,a 25% job cut by Chevron will have a remarkable impact on Nigeria's economy.

Hope you are now adequately educated, Mr Dumb?

Samunosuke:

Wahala dey for my Naija people. I'm guessing this is a joke. If you are serious about this, read my previous comments about sticking to facts not hear say.

MIDSTREAM: The ‘midstream’ segment of the oil and natural gas industry refers to anything required to transport and store crude oil and natural gas before they are refined and processed into fuels and key elements needed to make a very long list of products we use every day. Midstream includes pipelines and all the infrastructure needed to move these resources long distances, such as pumping stations, tank trucks, rail tank cars and transcontinental tankers.

DOWNSTREAM: The final sector of the oil and natural gas industry is known as ‘downstream.’ This includes everything involved in turning crude oil and natural gas into thousands of finished products we depend on every day...
