making 2.1 (mostly but not always above 4.0)

buy the Msc form (around 20,000)

write the aptitute test and pass.
Come for ora interview and pass.
spending the controversial #2,300,000.00 which i still find very hard to believe even if na the whole uniport i wan buy, like my friend REDBENSON said
i also heard dat you can apply for scholarships (though for those with Almighty Bsc GP probably 1st class)

that is what i am told, though i will still verify during my NYSC period, because i have been having nightmares ever since i heard 2.3 million naira inshort telling my dad about the amount is an easy way to make him laugh so loud, i may use that amount to make him laugh this December.

Gozie=Dad Happy xtmas
DAD=wish you the same my son
Gozie=Dad, i want to do my Msc in Uniport
DAD=alrite, that's very good..i heard it is a very school
Gozie=But Dad, there is a problem, the school fees is...
DAD=I told you that school fees is not the problem, i can single handedly train you even to Ph.D,, so tell me the amount.
Gozie=The school fees is 2.3million
DAD=What!!,hahahahahahahah
Gozie=why laughing Dad.
DAD=No, my Doctor told me to always laugh especially when talking with somebody that is not serious

Bro, you funny! gringringrin

Thanks! I appreciate.
Please, help me with their site.

chibzu: Hello,pls i need good answers to this question. I am an undergraduate in one of the Nigerian Universities studying pet. eng. i really want to have additional qualifications apart from the normal school course. My question is, is it right to have additional while in school or after school? and which one would be relevant to my field that i should take seriously?
I would advise do any course after your project defence in your final year, doing extra courses during school periods will be distracting. inStead you can be active in other extra-curricular activities like fellowships, SPE, others but not palm wine drinkers club. I have a colleague that finished with 4.46 from physics department, he's case is different Sha, he was running some business to sustain himself thru school. we call him prof. the university have offered to retain him, though he has turned down the offer for now, he believes its too early to be a lecturer besides it will slow him down and his vision.

thats a nice pay, its average of #830,000 monthly when converted to naira.
but
TAX ALONE will eat deep into you salary....in Norway alone they pay around 32% for income tax, and then you pay for property tax also...
And 32% of 830,000 is 265,600
then you substract #265,600 from #830,000 and that becomes #564400 ,,,,then you substract money for feeding, bills (house rent, electricity, insurance etc) and also for your property tax ,.and if you dare try to hide some property, you end up being sued for tax aversion which is a heinous crime over there.
and sometimes case of racism

Truely, i prefer working here in Nigeria to working in another man's land....atleast i can invest my savings in other business and have multiple source of income without any conspicous tax....

I am just praying for God to give me even a 200,000 naira job after graduation, then with God by my side, i will teach some abroad infested Nigerians that Nigeria is a land of business opportunities.....it only demands your Biz tactis and God's grace.

I can't say for sure but while I was still there some other dudes took up the position.

Have you tried any oil servicing company within Warri or Portharcourt? Trust me, it would be far more profitable to do it there than PTI because you will have the chance of meeting with industry experts who would teach you the basics and in simpler form.

prof e.o.o:
. My brother,such is not unique. To unizik alone. Uniport last graduated a first class way back in 1986 ,bt that does nt mean there has nt been a first class material since then. Notwithstanding,when u re gud, u dont nid to be covered with a first class garment,all u nid is a sound 2.1,yr brain nd most importantly God. We can always take some positives from those "sadist lecturers",as they help to shape u 4 a world where people hardly appreciates hard-work. It pays to kw what u're doing

1986 ? Jesus xrist, that is 4 yrs before i was born.

This uniport self.....
They have lots of wonders

(1) wonder of accepting 2.3 million for Msc.

(2) wonder of producing the last 1st class in geology far back as 1986.

Hmmmmmm, anyway sha, i love the school sha....i love a place that is near to oil....where i can be percieving oil as i am doing Msc

have you done partial modelling (curve matching)? Then all u need is winresist software to invert the result and get ur geoelectric parameters.
Or u could do forward modelling with ip2win software which can be downloaded on the internet for free. Contact me if u need more help

when you said 'theoretical graph' do u mean partial curve matching? and if not, could you explain this 'new' method.
