Good day pros and newbies alike. I want to write the SAT examination in December, what are the registration requirements and who can help me with good study materials that I can use. Also, I want to apply to US universities for undergrad studies and I want full funding that covers tuition, room, food, books and living expenses for the duration of my program. Kindly help me with the list of such universities.

My two cents:

I think we can do individual reviews on their sites.
$19 Ultramobile has unlimited talk to 30+ international destinations, of which Nigeria is excluded. Also, just 100MB data. However, their $39 plan gives you 1000 minutes to call Nigeria (as an add-on), and that's aside the unlimited talk you have to destinations like UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa et al.

Heard of H2O wireless. Sim is somewhat free. There's a pre-paid monthly plan that costs $30, and if you're really concerned about keeping in touch with loved ones back in Nigeria, you'll get $10 credit of talk time for that.

Insightful. Thanks a lot

Really depends on the coverage where you are going...rootmetrics.com gives you an idea if you're not there already. Ting is a reseller and may not be a very good idea.
I will do just that. Merci

Please, what reviews do you guys have about these sim cards:
1. Ultra mobile (costs 19 dollars)
2. T mobile (costs 20 dollars)
3. Ting (costs 9 dollars which makes me sceptical)

I recommend using Ultra Mobile. Its service is very strong in my area - the DMV area (DC, Maryland and Virginia), and they have different affordable plans according to your needs - $19, $29, $34, etc. When I got here newly, I started with Simple Mobile which I used for about 1 year, then I ported to H20 (porting from one network to another here works very fast and reflects immediately) but the issue I had with H20 was sometimes people calling me and hearing it ring on their end but the call never shows up on my phone or even when my phone is switched off and people called it would ring as if my phone were switched on, and with this people would often be mad at me for never picking my calls nor returning calls when I never even got them in the first place cry, or sometimes a my phone would be on and suddenly I get a voicemail notification that usually comes at the end of a missed call but meanwhile my phone never rang in the first place! angry, and from H20 I finally ported to Ultra Mobile which I have been enjoying since and the previous issue I had with H20 totally stopped. Funny enough, Simple Mobile and Ultra Mobile are all subsidiary companies of T-mobile and they use the network resources of T-Mobile, the difference being that while T-Mobile offers mainly phone+line services together on contract basis, Simple Mobile and Ultra Mobile are strictly pay-as-you go (as in you have your own phone and just buy their sim card and recharge every month. No signing of contracts involved). H20 is a subsidiary of AT&T providing pay-as-you-go services while AT&T provides contract-based phone services. When I joined Ultra Mobile newly, they gave me free $5 international call credit about 3 times to call Nigeria which I really enjoyed but now they have stopped. cry For those complaining of its service, I would say it depends on the area. Just as MTN network, despite being 'everywhere you go', is not strong in some areas of Nigeria, the same applies to AT&T, T-Mobile, Ultra Mobile etc. If you would like to use Ultra Mobile, I guess you should verify from others using it about how strong the service is and once they confirm it....way to go buddy.

T-Mobile can be quite expensive. I have never heard of Ting before and be mindful that here in America you get what you pay for. Cheap is not always better. The cheaper the service, the more likely it is going to be crappy.

This new CBN policy for FX is a scam and most of us never realize at all.. How can CBN tell banks to source for $ themselves and they now sell it at their own price, is it PMS

Our CBN governor will be surprise that after his tenure EFCC will witch hunt him.
Its so annoying and so frustrating. I believe something positive should come out next week. The CBN is just stingy. They simply don't want to release fx into the market, atleast to be able to reduce the scarcity.

if 3.25:5 the

therefore Q=3.25x4/5=2.6
Q=2.6

So 2.6 is the equivalent on a 4 point grade
Pls I stand to be corrected am just using normal mathematical approach but believe they have their own methods of evaluation

Calculation of cgpa is another ball game. It's calculated course by course and never as a digit that is solve with simple arithmetic.

Why can't CBN sell dollars to banks directly the way they have been doing many years ago and If I am not wrong, because the truth of the matter is that CBN are the ones selling to cabals and these cabals will now resell to BDC or commercial banks.

How can CBN just issue a new policy that banks should go and source for the dollars by themselves and have useless reasons why they can't sell to them. Don't you think the new CBN policy is nothing but scamming of the highest order

This is similar to the same policy the FG issued on PMS and we the gullible Nigerian thought is a good policy that will reduce cost of PMS and we started comparing it to telecommunication.

The only prayer we Nigerians should be praying now is that God should waste those leaders wasting the resources of our country Nigeria and not God should bless Nigeria again for now because the blessing he gave to us ever since plenty no be small and our leaders are just wasting it.
