I have been around for quite a while as a nairalander and I am always looking out to help with advices/information. I have had discussions with many corp members who are usually concerned about the unemployment situation in the country and sincerely it pains me that one cannot really help this situation.
One advice I can give to corp members is that they can study further abroad and create better opportunities for themselves elsewhere. But someone may ask; why should I travel out to make it? Yes, it is important to know that life waits for no man and one will have to determine to live a better life at one point in time. Why do you think you have to wait for jobs when you can try other things that may be better? It is a reality that jobs are hard to come by in Nigeria these days. Even if you will not travel out of the country to study, it is good to always give it a try. Not that it is guaranteed you travel out, but it is worth everything to always try. One may also ask: but I don't know what to do or how to go about it? Well, this is why I am writing this. You can have access to the right information on your mobile now at any time. I will like to point you to a mobile app which has information summarily packaged about studies in Germany, South Korea, Norway, Canada, Belgium, France. It talks about the processes involved in getting admissions, what to do, schools to apply to and weekly updated news on opportunities/scholarships. Other benefits are embedded. It is less than 2 USD (precisely 770 naira for Nigerians) and you can download it here:

Feel free to ask questions.

Would appreciate if the app is PC compatible?

Funstufz...thanks so much for your reply. It is not PC compatible for now. We figured out many people access mobile more than PC these days. However, you can get android app emulators on your PC which can enable you to use the app on PC. Example is Bluestacks. You can google to know more about it.

PhD opportunity in fisheries social-ecological systems
We are seeking a highly qualified candidate interested in pursuing an PhD in fisheries socio- economics in the Great Lakes basin, to complement our work on environmental and climate change, and their associated impacts on fisheries. Based at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in conjunction with the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research at the University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, this is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of understanding one of Canada's most economically-important (estimated value > $7 billion/year), but least-understood fisheries, and to develop highly sought-after interdisciplinary and quantitative research skills.
Fisheries within the Great Lakes represent a variety of interests, including commercial, recreational, and subsistence sectors, and yet little to no attention has been paid to them as important social-ecological systems. That is, our understanding of who is fishing and why, what the value of these fisheries are, or where catches are ultimately consumed is limited. Recreational fisheries are thought to be particularly important for disadvantaged people who rely on these fisheries to supplement their diet. This lack of information coincides with dramatic, environmentally-driven change in the composition of Great Lakes food-webs, suggesting a high potential for mismanagement of associated fisheries in the future. This project will attempt to describe and quantify the socio-economic influencers on Great Lakes fisheries, as well the resulting socio-economic impacts from these fisheries.

The ideal candidate will have an undergraduate background in Biology, Environmental Governance, Science, Policy or a related discipline, preferably with experience in, or knowledge of, quantitative and qualitative social research methods. Candidates should also have (i) the ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment, (ii) strong written and oral communication skills and (iii) experience conducting fieldwork. Most critically they will have a demonstrated ability to work as a constructive and positive member of a team. Competitive stipend, opportunities to TA, and funding for national and international conference travel will be provided.
Contact information: For more information or to express your interest please contact Professors Aaron MacNeil (a.macneil@dal.ca), Megan Bailey (megan.bailey@dal.ca), or Aaron Fisk (afisk@uwindsor.ca)
