I started watching your videos this year 2018, I am a working mother to 4 Beautiful children but I must say I respect you so much this video will truly mortivate a lot of individuals including mothers with skills or without skills. God bless.
Have loved and used your cooking videos, but had to comment on this one. I want to use this opportunity to say what a gracious and giving lady you are. Gracious enough to share all this info. to help others. God bless you in all your endeavors.
Beautifully presented. So clear and informative. I got onto your channel to figure out how to make tomato sauce for Jollof rice and discovered a diamond in the form of you. You're awesome Queen.
Amazing lady! 😍😍😍I admire you more daily. I'm watching this in 2020! But I don't care. I loved every bit of it. Well done ma. Please consider starting a mentoring channel for young girls in their teens yet to enter university or higher institution. I will sign up my daughter surely. Nnem OMA. You are beautiful in and out
You are a true helper. It's obvious that you're not just here for the fame, but to truly help (from the heart). More power to your elbow and more grace. Cheers!
You're just one incredible woman, natural, intelligent, always smiling, just to name a few of ur good qualities. I just love everything about you ma'am, keep up the good work.
I usually skip thru lenghty(5 mins+) UA-cam vidoes but watched this one the whole way through. You r such an engaging person to listen to, more power to you...
Hello Flo. I must say you are truly a diamond in the rough for sharing this info. You've shown and encouraged people to look beyond their degrees and comfort zones, and step out in faith. There's a whole world of opportunities out there and you've just motivated a lot of people. Thank you so much and God bless.
Wow! so informative!! more grace to you.....I'm so happy you are doing such an interesting job... its refreshing! higher everday in Jesus name xx with love from scotland!
You are truely a role model to black people out there thanks sis🙏🏽 Questions time!! How many of our people will be willing to explained their job or show others how to get successful in life without wanting something in return 🤔🙄??? Non.. You have made me aspire to be a good person.
Thank you so much Aunty Flo.. Have forwarded all the links and this video to my younger brothers.. Sharp sharp oge adiro zi!! More blessings! Chukwu gozie gi
My condition right now oooo.5 weeks on and 4 weeks off .I shuttle uK and Nigeria every 4 weeks and COVID has made it horrible.I want to quit but havent got the gut to .
Watching the video in 2021 even thought I have been watching you for a few years. This popped up on my UA-cam first part now this one.. You are a pynominal Lady. So sad that Folks are all UA-camrs instead of doing real jobs. 😪 Blessing my Sis keep slaying you are definitely a slayer beautiful in side and out.✌✌✌❤❤❤
Momma, i duff cap for you, i really need to start working but I'm really confused, I'm still struggling with the language, weather, lifestyle 😓 with motherhood (no omugwuo, no siblings, no nobody just husband) i came here 2017, honestly I respect you more ma'am. I pray all these pass soon so i can make the best outta my life, God's willing.
Na wah o! this may be old video, never seen it before. You are well rounded woman with such risky job, remind me of a naija woman I saw in the US army, a major, with combat tours under her belt. Beautiful.
All Nigerian Recipes Hi Big Sis! Everything has been fine. This phd and other life commitments have been keeping me very busy. Even then I have been silently supporting! Thanks so much for all your amazing amazing work!
Hi ur video is very indepth and informative. The only thing u left out is how frigging cold it is in the North sea where these offshore rigs are located. They should factor that in when making their decision.
Auntie Flo, thank you so much for this valuable info. You are a gem Please I’m wondering if these info are still valid now since the video was made years ago. I’d love to share the info
I enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you for sharing; that is so kind and generous of you. I like the sound of this kind of job. How much do I accept to get out of it/ as in what is the salary range for this job? Thank you:)
This is the one I fell in love with you on ,,when I found out you were an engineer I fell in love ,,, because although I don't have a degree ,, I'm a constructional engineer and your the first female engineer I know and I like you ok bye bye see you soon lolz
Thank u so much for enlightening us on your daily life. My younger brother is into engineering and had always loved the idea of getting this oil exploration job. I would like to know though, like how much do you get paid? I hope to get your reply soonest! I'd let him know about these links and how to apply from Nigeria. Daalu rinne! Jisike nwanne m nwaanyi!
First of all thanks you for taking Time for our questions.It was really informative 👍 ......But i have 1more question lol...how did your Job and having a family get along? I mean What happen when you get pregnant? I mean Do you get mother-time.?....you know we woMen have to think about everythink ....lol
Elikya_lafleur nanz E great and valid questions! :D I will answer those based on my experiences with the companies I was working with when I had my 2 children. These vary from company to company. Find out detailed info with the companies before you become pregnant, OK? :) First, once you get preggy, you stop going offshore. If the company is very big with lots of opportunities in the office, they will send you to one of the offices to fill up a position while you wait to have your baby. They will continue to pay you till you go for maternity leave. Some companies are not that big, so no positions for you in the office. Or the office location is far away from your home, in another city, even in another country. In that case, you will stay home and the company will continue to pay you your "plus days" till they are exhausted. Plus days are accumulated when you go for courses, meetings, to the embassies for visas etc any day that you spend doing work related stuff during your time off counts as a plus day. Also, travel days are counted as plus days so the more of these you have at the time you are pregnant, the longer you will be paid. For the first one where you work in the office, you will go for M-leave at the appropriate time. Typical M-leave in the industry is 6 months, you will continue to be paid. After M-leave, you can take compassionate leave, after that you can take a leave of absence. During LOA, you will not be paid but your job is still there for you to come back to. In the 2nd instance where you stay home from day 1, once they finish paying your plus days, you switch to maternity leave even though you are far from having your baby, they will pay you through M-Leave. When that one is exhausted, take compassionate leave, you can also negotiate other leaves that are available to you. Some companies will try as much as possible to pay you for much longer so speak with the HM of your company. You can also resign after M-leave to get your mind off work and focus on your baby and when you are ready you will contact your company again and they will rehire you. In this industry, once you have experience, going back to work is easy. If you are known as a diligent employee, they will happily have you back. You may be rusty during your first trip but it will all come back to you! :) To manage family life and this job, you will need a very supportive partner/spouse! You will need another close family relative/friend to take care of the kids when you are away. In spite of having someone else take care of them, your spouse plays the role of father and mother when you are not there so he has to be mentally ready to do that because it is NOT easy. But everything is easy when everyone concerned is ready to make a sacrifice. At the end of the day, it is for the good of the whole family. :) For me, sometimes, we just need someone, to come in the morning and take them to school and hubby will pick them up on his way back from work. Everything depends on your family circumstances so do what is best for you in this area. Some men/relatives may have variable work hours/shifts, some work very long hours 18 hours/day etc in that case, it will be very difficult for them to coordinate things while you are away. Be realistic when planning and define what both of you want. Remember that when you are home, you are home full time for your family so you can make up for the time you were away. With time, you can go freelancing and with a few times a year of work, you are ok. I hope I answered everything! :D
I sent two emails, and expecting a response please. Your messages are inspirational which has been motivating me, siblings towards building a career. Thanks so much
Thank you for this video, i am so inspired. I have quite a background in the oil and gas industry. Please i have questions: how was the transition for you when you moved abroad? I understand you live in spain. Was language a barrier? Did your race affect your getting a job. Because i moved to europe and i have asked all the africans i know here, living here for about 12 yrs. Yet all they get is janitorial jobs despite their degrees. Another question: how did you cope with your job when you just had your babies? Thanks
Jennifer Norman well u said all the Africans you know n pls not all Africans re doing janitor jobs in Europe. Some re professionals too. It’s either you translate your certificate to the country’s language n get it verified by world examination board n then u do some additional course in the country u re to add to it n also learn d language n start looking for job n there re those who decided to take d diploma certificate in d country they re n then enroll into university or do other courses then start looking for a job... just don’t give up n remain focus n with God’s help... everything will go well....
Sorry to pop up on an old video but where exactly did you get your degree from? I'm currently studying electronic engineering at Uniport and wondering if I should switch to electrical engineering before my final year...
Aunty I hail oo haha! So i'm assuming that this is not a non swimmer's job right? Can you do office/land jobs for oil exploration or must you have to go out into the ocean? Like if the oil company drills on land or something?
dancenijas no, you don't have to be a swimmer to do this job and ability to swim is not a requirement. Yes there is land seismic they work in deserts, jungles and sometimes inside some cities. But not all seismic companies do land seismic. Check out CGG and WesternGeco for land seismic opportunities.
I started watching your videos this year 2018, I am a working mother to 4 Beautiful children but I must say I respect you so much this video will truly mortivate a lot of individuals including mothers with skills or without skills. God bless.
Thank you so much very helpful and interesting.
