The people they attended to on 22nd and today are those mostly without appointments or printouts. This is General for any students that had secured admission.However, would be difficult to attend to those they had attended to before. Meanwhile, two applicants also here on Nairaland were attended to around July Ending, they returned their documents to them that name not on the list, but were attended to on 22nd and asked them to come on Next Tuesday for their passports.

18 of the people I recently got admission for even some just paid 3 days ago without appointments were attended to. 12 among the 18 students were asked to pick their passports on 29th. While the rest 6 were told they would call them after communicating with the university.

May I know the school you applied to? If is EMU, kindly imbo me your full name and confirmation of payment number. Am preparing a list to follow up with the embassy in TRNC before Or on FRIDAY.

Sir. The name issue is really frustrating. Schools will resume soon and people are still having these issues. Even many of the people rushing for interview this Tuesday and thursday. Many didn't see their names because they just paid recently. They will probably get their passport back with the same “name not on the list" tag, putting us in the same category while resumption states us in the face. I'm just hopeful the embassy will attend to us after now

Hello people. Please what is the average cost of a one-room apartment or a bed sitter in bayelsa. What area there can someone see a cheap one room or bed sitter. Please preferably a safe area. Thanks in advance

Mr wip7 and Ike121 and gurus in cyprus.. Please I'm hearing of ciu postponing resumption date.. Abeg how true is it and which date

wip7:
I doubt if that embassy will call. The applicant's documents are with the embassy or with the applicants? if with the embassy, they should just go to embassy direct on visa application days.

Sir. My friend has the same issue. The documents are with the embassy. The passports are with them. He said the normal circumstance is that the embassy will send them message when the list arrives. But the list is there and the embassy hasn't sent anything. And anytime he goes they tell him they can't attend to him until he receives mail or text from them. Sir what do you suggest?

wip7:
Ahhh .. Yes, CIU has the largest environmental Eng in TRNC currently, in fact, I was amazed by the number of facilities they have in this field. Mostly, am being selected as Jury head for PhD students monitoring at the CIU and am continuously participating. Unfortunately, they have weak research members based on my standards.

Am always available to provide an academic assistance....not financial assistance oooo biko !
I am conversant with almost all research in Environmental so you can always email me for advice and support!

Sir. Please when next your coming to ciu please notify me so that i can kidnap you give you a present

wip7:
Ahhh, stop making me laugh . Actually, it depends on the quality and sustainability of the project. Most of the universities in Cyprus only reached 4th to 6th stage. While the first is German University, but my students reached the final stage.

Also, my two PhD students have just been selected for competition in Japan.." I have led the Two PhD students to design "Waste bone-based Solar-powered sensor for pest control and Auto Irrigation Monitoring System"...if we reached final stage and win, I shall announce that as well.....

Sir You do me bad tin o. To be sincere at first i thought u were at ciu cuz that was the only uni with the largest environmental engineering department on the island i knew of. I was jumping upandan thinking i will be seeing u everyday until i realized it was csu u meant. Walai this tin no work. Biko transfer to ciu. Come and help our destiny. Even if its to wash your car every morning. I will do it

2017 Green Brain of the Year Contest

Green brain contest has been established as a unique academic program to serve the most critical needs of our globe in the 21st century. The five finalist teams from both International Concept Project and International Project Competitions will be invited to METU NCC (all expenses paid) to present their project in front of the jury.


I designed project for my two students from CSU (Cyprus Science University), this is a two-series project that involves eco-friendly bacteria to eliminate toxic olive wastes and the second part would be wireless sensor development for rapid quantification. I wrote the sensor program using Python under WOLFRAM CDK.

Finally, my two students have been selected among 200 participants from various countries including leading universities in Europe, USA and Africa.

So ciu didn't qualify for the finals .. *spits* .. Useless skul...

ike121:
check Wakanow.com, they have affordable flight. ensure that your specify ECN (if you are new student).

Merhaba. A friend of mine said his name wasn't on the list for ciu cuz ciu second batch hasn't reached embassy. He said pple who applied from june didn't see their name. Pls any idea on when we are to expect the second batch? Thanks

America’s NATO ally Turkey, which is abandoning the secular vision of the modern state’s founder, could become a “more dangerous version” of Iran, a Middle East expert believes, according to a new report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
Uzay Bulut, a journalist who was born and raised Muslim in Turkey and now is a writing fellow for the Middle East Forum, noted the “Islamization” of the school system along with the dictatorial moves of President Erdogan.
In an article on the Gatestone Institute site, she said Turkish schools are teaching jihad under the guise of “religion, culture and morality” while cutting back on art, philosophy and other secular subjects.
“Given the political developments in Turkey for more than a decade, the country seems to be fast-forwarding to be the second – and possibly even a more dangerous version of – the Islamic Republic of Iran,” she wrote.
She cited various developments that have hit headlines recently: the jailing of journalists, destruction of Kurdish towns, the firing of more than 100,000 government workers “for political reasons” and the outright seizure of lands from Christians.
She said Turkey is in the process of including the concept of jihad in compulsory school curricula, teaching it as a “value,” according to the Turkish Ministry of National Education, in middle schools that offer an Islamic curriculum to pupils.
An estimate 1.5 million seventh- and eighth-grade students who will received the instruction

I magine you are making a late-night call to your significant other and your president answers the phone instead. Last Saturday every Turkish citizen was obliged to listen to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s failed coup anniversary message on their mobile phone before moving on to their actual call. He was once again reminding the country of his omnipresence – in case any citizen could forget it for a moment.
This year, those who are not Erdoğan’s supporters arranged their holidays carefully in order to skip last weekend’s
celebrations in Istanbul . Anyone living in a country with issues of rising populism or authoritarianism will recognise the feeling of helplessness in the face of invasive and blunt lying by the ruler who constantly invents new enemies to sustain his power. Some of those who couldn’t arrange to be away simply turned off their TVs before Erdoğan made his speech.
But for those of us who watched him declare, “ We are going to cut the traitors’ heads off ”, and the crowd chant back, “We want execution!”, it was one of the countless moments when we asked ourselves: “Are these my people? Is this my land?” When manufactured hatred turns your country into a hive of hostility, you feel homeless.
Erdoğan’s answer to such questions is very clear. The anniversary was a declaration that the old Turkey has been replaced by Erdoğan’s Turkey . He even declared that the population had shrunk by 30 million. “We rescued the 50 million on the night of the coup,” he said. Turkey’s population is 80 million.
The Turkish flag was replaced with a new symbol featuring 15 July. The national anthem has virtually been replaced with Dombra, the campaign song of the ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party, with its chorus “Recep Tayyip Erdoğan” repeated 10 times. Thanks to emergency rule, extended again a few days ago, the already crippled judicial system has been further weakened. Since the dubiously conducted referendum for the presidential system in April, the parliament has in effect been replaced by Erdoğan’s lavish
palace as the seat of political power – which he considers quite humble compared to Buckingham Palace.
All the complexity of Turkish politics has simultaneously been reduced to the most banal polarisation . The tension between Kurdish and Turkish, Sunni and Alevi or left and right has been reduced to a single split: between Erdoğan’s devout supporters and the “traitors” who now include even teenagers being investigated for critical tweets.
Meanwhile the de facto replacement of the secular system with an Islamic one was symbolically marked by Qur’an recitation during the anniversary ceremony in parliament. What little comfort the 30 million Turks regarded by Erdoğan as not existing can find comes in depressed jokes on Twitter, or in their private WhatsApp groups.
In Turkey, the age of post-truth is not a sophisticated one. What started as subtle bending of the facts to create handy truths for the ruling party has become crude lies, rubbed in your face. When more than 2 million people gathered in Istanbul under the banner of “Justice” on 9 July following a protest march from Ankara, Erdoğan insisted that the crowd numbered just 145,000, despite the whole nation having watched the rally on TV with their own eyes. As the oppressed media reluctantly repeated Erdoğan’s figures, Turks learned yet again that it is no good having eyes when you cannot express what you see.
Today, many are reluctant to make predictions about Turkey’s future simply because it is so deeply painful to voice our fears. Since formal political opposition has become virtually impossible, the half of the population that opposes Erdoğan is left with only one option: street politics. And Erdoğan has insinuated several times that if people take to the streets, the outcome could be far bloodier than the crackdown on the Gezi protests of 2013 that left several dead and more than 8,000 severely injured.
Nobody wants to imagine a confrontation between the more educated

I would love a discussion rather than a one way topic

What are your views ?
Will there ever be an end to this seeming dictatorship?
Will it affect the breakaway North Cyprus?
Will turkey be a radical state?
If so, how long will it take?

The floor is open to all

Following the recent removal of evolution from secondary school curriculum and being replaced with “jihad"... Is Turkey seeming more radical? Due to the continuously extended state of emergency in the country, the press have been silenced.. All oppositions to the president are being silenced and arrested... Will it end??

Secularists were outraged. Ataturk had been demoted to make way for a future monument to those who died defending Erdogan against July’s failed military coup. The square is now a construction site. They saw further evidence that Erdogan is replacing the secular, westward-looking state, complete with its own founding myth: his victory over the coup.
Then, last month, the Education Ministry published a new draft school curriculum that would reduce coursework on Ataturk, study jihad under the rubric of values, and remove a unit on theories of evolution, according to Impact-se, a non-profit that measures school systems against UNESCO standards. In a press release, it called the draft a “bellwether as to the intentions of President Erdogan.”

A year after Turkey’s failed coup attempt, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime faces a dilemma: first it fears any kind of street-based movement. Erdoğan’s harsh response to the
Gezi Park protests in 2013 or the protests that were brutally quashed in the Kurdish cities of south-east Turkey last year are examples. Yet with the president’s power built on a friend-or-foe dichotomy, he also needs a street-based legitimacy. Witness the weekend ceremonies marking the anniversary of 15 July in which
he whipped up public support for punishing coup plotters with the death penalty and talked about “ripping the heads” off so-called traitors.
And as a result of disabling parliamentary opposition and governing by decree under a continuous state of emergency it is not possible for him to prevent oppositional street-based movements from erupting. Last week’s justice march led by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, chair of the opposition Republicans People’s party, (CHP) which brought at least 1.5 million people for a final rally proves this point.
Erdoğan and his followers come from a tradition of political Islam that is often accused of seeking to impose sharia law by stealth. Beyond this, Erdoğan has given Turkey a worse record than China or Iran for jailing journalists and activists. Since July 2016 he has pursued a crackdown which has seen more than 50,000 people detained and nearly 170,000 people placed under investigation. It is fair now to say that democracy and its institutions in Turkey are dying by the day.
It also seems clear that the failed coup attempt has helped Erdoğan to solidify his power and use it to push his political agenda. He is entrenching it via the institutions of Islam, notably the mosques. The directorate of religious affairs has become an apparatus of Erdoğan’s political initiatives. Of course, mosques have been the carriers of rightwing politics in Turkey throughout history, but traditionally claimed to be supra-political and unbiased.
After last year’s events they no longer even pretend to be neutral. To underline this, look at some statistics on the Islamisation of the country: since Erdoğan came to power,
thousands of new mosques have been built , including the one inside the compound of Erdoğan’s vast new presidential palace which is, incidentally, four times bigger than Versailles. Tens of thousands more students are attending religious schools than there were in 2002 when Erdoğan came to power, according to the Education and Science Workers’ Union of Turkey. In effect, Erdoğan is using Islamism for power.

This is highly repulsive... These kind of people need to be eliminated.. Humans are the demons we should worry about... Not some worthless red dude with a pitchfork.. Religions are created to control.. Let the God come down and fight for himself... We need a world free of religious dogma.. This b.ullcrap is annoying... Someone is sitting there relaxing funding these demons.. Seeing things like this makes me hate religion more and more.. Some people are so dumb.. Instead of them to defend themselves against these m.orons.. They'll say it's “fulfilment of d scripture" while your heads are getting thrown around.. You'll be waiting for a white Jewish guy to appear in the sky all over the world at once to zap you away.. Instead of solving the problem you'll be waiting for one nigga from 2000 years ago... Religious dogma is killing us. You can believe in God alright.. Don't just be stupid about it..

DerrickOfficial:
I mean all round for someone going there for education, which of them offers a more conducive environment for a student

Different people have different things they consider to make anan environment conducive... Jobs are scarce on both sides.. I cannot speak on their universities... You will have to do that research yourself based on what you want.. Cost of living is a little bit higher in the south.. Generally the island is secure... Any other question we can help you with?

DerrickOfficial:
yea that's why I tagged you cos I saw one of ur posts, you once lived in both sides of Cyprus, so I think you'd be in a better position to tell me more

This thread is basically for north Cyprus.. You won't find any concrete information on south Cyprus here.. If i may ask.. What is your definition of “better".. Is it in terms of education, housing, feeding, or what? You need to specify.. Thanks

Pls mr wip7 ... Ike121 etc... What month during this fall period can someone see more vacancies.. As regards to accommodation??
