I like you already!

You be smart dude... If you plan on doing a PhD then you nor get wahala... You go get opportunities allover the world after your MSc for Finland so no need to stay back for naija.

Concerning the accomodation stuff... The wahala b say if u dey on germo level and u nor see job to pay rent wey b between 150 to 350 euros fit give man mental problem o. No worry when you decide on where to go for Finland at least boys on Nairaland dey Tampere, Oulu, Espoo and Jyvaskyla dem go surely fit accomodate one person for 3 months. Na make d person fit comport well b d koko. I was very lucky... I got a dude that is now like a brother to me that accomodated me for 6 months!

So no worry better peeps still dey.

But if you get enough bar you can gey your own place at around 200 euros and spend 100 euros monthly on maintenance. No clubbing and shayo o.. Lolz

Abeg wetin be germo level Atleast make we too DEY follo for the koko

To chip in I would advice you to work in Nigeria as you are now but I have seen lots of Indian student that got a job after their programs but I would advice anyone of you to go for Sweden.the swedes are more liberal than the Norwegians..tack

Sweden has tuition fee(average of SEK100,000 depending on your program). Before being granted a Swedish study permit, you must pay atleast 50pc of tuition fees. Norway does not charge tuition fee.

It is really funny how people choose a country to study without checking the immigration policy of that country. A Norwegian student permit does not form a basis for permanent residence in Norway or long term stay in Norway. In other words students are not granted post study work permit and you are expected to return to ur homeland after your study. Student residence permit is valid only for the duration of ur study.

I rare situation where your area of specialization is highly needed, you will be asked to return back to ur homeland to apply for work permit from ur homeland.
Also, if you marry a local in Norway, you will also be ask to return to ur country to file for spousal visa except in critical circumstances where your wife is heavily pregnant

Bros Olabode, Finland schools just dey fall my hand o, I have to appeal my rejection at Helsinki and UEF is also rejecting me stating that "The two most common reasons for rejection were one or both of the following:

· University Admission Finland did not receive applicant's proof of English language proficiency, the proof provided did not correspond to our admission criteria or the test result was insufficient.
· The applicant's previous academic studies did not correspond to the content of our Master's programme, and the motivation letter or the recommendation letter did not succeed in convincing us otherwise".

Even with and 7.5 IELTS score. Now I'm left with Turku and Oulo.

Meanwhile, I got conditionally admitted (because tuition is required) to Uppsala University in Sweden and has been placed on a reserve list for tuition scholarship. What will be your advice should I get the tuition scholarship at Uppsala. If I have to choose between Sweden and Finland, what should it be? Thanks Boss.

Bros.. If you have the means choose Sweden. Immigration is laxed in Sweden. Great education system, you can work unlimited as a student. Strong economy. One of the best performing/booming economy in Europe at the moment. Work Sara for Sweden

SegunWamiri:
Hmmmm CIC!!! They sha found a way to DELAY me ooo.

I was earnestly waiting to share this unheard of testimony. I wasn't called for medicals but in the fifth week of my application, my tracking status says "processed passport has been dispatched from Accra". My assumption was that the VO is giving concession for my previous stay in UK for about 2years..lolz and so he/she just felt that there's no need.

I confirmed with VFS last Friday that my document is ready for pick up. Couldn't wait for the weekend to be over. On rushing over to VFS this morning.... wasting my precious fuel, I got the shocker.

Refused based on Purpose of visit and family ties to Canada and home country. Please how should I deal with family ties having indicated that I have a wife and child here oo and I wasn't planning going with them. The Canada part; is it that I am supposed to have someone in Canada because I claimed I don't have any?

Please help ooo

Some of Canadian study Visa denial reasons are just absurd. Re-apply. It's well.

Happy new month brothers and sisters.

this is the mail my friend received from University of stravanger read below:



Dear Applicant,
We have noticed that there are some
missing documents in your
application package:
Diploma from Federal University of
Technology, Minna
You have only delivered “the transcript of
records” and “Statement of
Final Degree, Examination Result”.
Will you be able to provide the above
mentioned document ASAP?

he did a 5year course in the university. Bsc.
NOT diploma program.

Please what do they mean by diploma ?

thanks in anticipation.

What they are asking for is the DEGREE CERTIFICATE . Your friend only sent the transcript and statement/notification of result

Happy Sunday to you all. Trv must be gotten this month.

jeytee:
Whatever rocks your boat man...you sound desperate ...I don't enjoy bragging or stating my achievements...whether or not you agree is totally up to you...im comfortable with 2 cars and a house I built from my sweat nigga...im a pro ****** ****** so you should know I earn a lot...your sis is too wretched to kneel before me...guy this discussion is just baseless to be honest.I only made a comment and you let your poverty and desperation take over your doodle brain im guessing that's why you attacked me...hustle hard and believe in God...maybe,just maybe someday you'll make it...you are just too dull

Another childish ranting?
Yes u made a foolish comment bro...So I am allergic to foolish comments. How can u say those applying for this job are wasting their time. With this economic hardship in the country. How many firms in Nigeria pays upto that 130k for a start. Do u prefer them to beg or steal? If you are comfortable, just know that millions of young Nigerians like you are finding life difficult. So saying "they are wasting their time by applying to serve the nation as police officers is is pure arrogance and ignorance on ur part. The IG of police started as an ASP but now he is the number 1 police officer in Nigeria. Do u know the amount of money that man Arase has

Im a pro****** ******....... Lolzzz
You are not even confident to write out what u do for a living? Why censoring what you do for living?
Or u mean professional yahoo boy

I am done with you!! Don't deride people trying to make a living. Don't discourage them cos you can't give them even a 50k job...... Have a nice day

jeytee:
You sound like some broke hungry and homeless "mofo"...poverty and frustration is clearly your reason for chasing this job...you neither have the passion nor ability for the job..Do you even know the role of an asp??Daft prick!.i am very comfortable and comparing my self with an asp is an utter insult mind you im barely 24 with 2 cars and a nice house of my own...poverty is a disease and it has clearly killed and buried you...Useless 40 year old man looking for every opportunity to hustle...Get lost and rot in your poverty..MISCREANT

You are a 24year old fool. A dullard at 24 u are!
How can a tout like you open your smelly mouth and compare ur filthy self with a police ASP So u think the survive only on 130k alone. Ignorant bastard! If I may ask, who are you sef? Are u the son of Tinubu? Or do u work with shell/mobile etc? So u think having an alleged rented apartment and two tokunbo cars is the achievement of ur life that warrant you to look down on an ASP. You can't even lace the shoes of an inspector of police not to talk of an ASP.
I have a sister who is an ASP and a DCO(district crime officer) there is no way u can compare urself filthy self with her both financially, respect she garners and the prestige she commands. Wait in the years to come when she becomes a commissioner of police /Assistant inspector general of police /deputy inspector of police or even the number one police officer in Nigeria. Oboy u are just a tout and a nonentity.



As for me, I can not condescend so low to ur level to compare myself with you. You can only dream of my achievements so far. Mind u I am 26(so we are in the same age bracket). Ur rantings are just too childish and unscholarly for me to start any juxtaposition on that topic.

jeytee:
You must be very silly and daft.....its folks like you that apply for anything even the job of a janitor all in the name of survival...thank God im very comfortable with 2 cars of my own I don't need a 50k or 130k job for that matter..you sound hungry and frustrated please apply they are looking for folks like you...AIG indeed...OLE!!!

lowlife slowpoke .. Your reasoning and writing just shows how low u are intellectually....So having two cars is a monumental achievement to you and you say an enlistment into the Nigerian police force as an ASP is awaste of time? When I know of landlords in Lagos state that are scrambling for this job. You are just an ignorant and uninformed fool.

You dont even know anything about ASP and the police force . U just an ignorant troll. Do u think with ur alleged two cars you are well to do than any police ASP.
When I know of some ASPs with houses of their own.

Get lost, ur reasoning and intellect is below par

jeytee:
With 130k a month and the cost of living in this country as a single individual not to talk of someone who is married with kids...you'll basically be living from hand to mouth..This is just a waste honestly

Very greedy goat. You are Short sighted and always looking for immediate gratification and not long term goals. Maybe u don't even have a 50k job now and you call a career in a federal paramilitary, where u have the prospect of being the commissioner, AIG, DIG or even the inspector general of police "waste of time". How absurd!

So being jobless and beggarly is better than 130k(as a start) net salary plus other concomitant benefit.

Come on , reason and be rational before you type.

georjay:
really
130k
are you high

That guy is plain st_upid

hustla:
Hello all
Does Sweden still offer free tuition for Msc programmes? Health Informatics to be precise

Thanks

This are the sort of question that you are not suppose to come to nairaland to ask. Simple Google search can do wonders or studyinsweden site.
Well, let me just use church mind to answer you


No.. Sweden introduced tuition fee few years ago. Health informatics will gulp more than SEK100,000 /yearly as tuition fees

AccidentalGenius:
Australia's just too far to consider. Plus I know very little about the country.

Australia is an amazing country.

Advantages over Canada
Friendly climate,
better economy- richer country
natural resources abounds,
Higher minimum wage than Canada,
job prospects is superb too.

Disadvantages over Canada
Stricter immigration rules - Less immigrants friendly
Very far geographically
Dangerous and poisonous animals abound .. Sight of Snakes, vodka and other funny creatures is a normal daily occurrence
Less vibrant Nigerian community

AccidentalGenius:
Same here oh my brother. Nigeria has nothing to over but manageable life. I don't manage.

Canada for me.
More immigrants friendly - Canada by far (immigration is a big issue in the UK. Understandable because she is a small island country wit huge population density)

Job prospects - Canada all the world. You are not even allow to work in the UK after ur studies. Pack ur bag and head home

humbleosazee:
Pls house, can I use WASSCE 2005 results with good grades maths A1, phy A1 to secure undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering in any good public University in Germany? Pls guru help.

Even if ur waec is parallel A1s, it is isn't enough to secure you admission to undergraduate studies

humbleosazee:
Pls guru help, I have BSc in Geophysics 2:2, is it possible for me to apply for undergraduate course in petroleum engineering in German schools? Urgent reply.

Yes and you can apply for masters as well

dprinz99:
studienkolleg is free
only private studienkolkeg requires school fees.
but u hv to pay normal semester contribution which ranges from 90-400€ in public studienkolleg

You are right.

lakesidepapa:
*His german level must be at least B2 if he want to pass through studienkolleg and that will take him up to 2yrs

Okay bro

princeade09:
Good day to everyone in the house. Wishing happy easter to us all.

Please I would like to know if I can use my waec result, secondary school transcript + toefl result to get admission for undergraduate program in germany.... Please I need your answer.

No princeade.. You cannot get direct undergraduate program in Germany with ur waec only. U need HND or 100 transcript or A-level.

However, you can still attend German preparatory college (studienkellog). It is for those who who fall short of the German arbitur(University entry qualification) . It is a one year program, if u are successful you will qualify for direct admission to study undergraduate program. most of the lessons are taught in German. So ur German ability should be at least B2

akanbiaa:
Hope she is not among the 6000 to be transfered to the northeast?

Hehehehe.... She is married o. After her pop she was posted to cross river state but she redeploy back to Lagos on marital grounds. She is not moving an inch away from Lagos

cricifixo:
Who knows what their interview looks like, I mean d physical ability tests and also duration of training in d academy, God bless us all

Physical ability test is a medical test that will be done to check if u are physically and medically fit. Chest x-ray will be done, blood pressure will be checked , resting pulse rate , breathing rate etc


The duration of training for ASPs takes between 6 to 9 months. my sister's training was initially slated to last 6months but was later extended to 9months. She passed out in 9months.

The training camp was at police college Ikeja. You Will be fed 3times a day and u are paid monthly salary (83k)as cadet ASP. You will pass out of training as ASP on probation (1start) salary (127k),then after a year u will be made full/substantive ASP( 2start) salary will now be 130- something Kay.

Ps : police people no dey touch their salary ; base on the experience with my sister

solbob:
I have checked the institution but they do not offer mba or msc management..

Okay... Search for schools using www.daad.de

Allisonrichy:
Please i intend moving to canada for my Master's degree by next year and will like to knw how possible is it for me to school,work as a normal hustler and if it is possible to pursue my football career. Please i will really appreciate everyone's advise/comment. Please i will also like to knw how to search for cheap schools

Lolzzz... Next year You have not even gotten admission to a Canadian school much less of going through the rigorous and "lottery" study visa application process you are here fantasizing about jobs in Canada. .. My friend forget about jobs and hustle in Canada. Take one step at a time. Ur concern now should be if you meet the requirements for a masters admission in Canada and how to apply for it.

As for football, Canada is a wrong place. If u have ambition to pursue a football career go to Europe instead

@victz
Not denying that. But I have also seen someone gaining admission for masters with less than 3.0cgpa. Nothing is constant. He just have to try.

Some schools require German equivalent of 2.5 or better (which Nigerian 3.0 gives)
While some like Konstanz require just an above average bachelor degree plus GRE plus good motivation letter plus how u perform in the interview etc.

solbob:
Good day, i studied accounting and graduated with GPA 2.58 on the scale of 5.0 here in nigerian and I would love to apply to any school in Germany for either mba or msc in management, please assist me with a school that can admit me with my very low GPA......... Pls help me cos I have already applied to usa and after paying $7,800usd I was still refused f1 visa twice and now m considering Germany and definitely my sponsor van afford the block account so right-brained now, finance isn't the problem, all I need is a master program in the management field
NOTE: I finished with second class lower 2.58GPA

Try University of Konstanz. They require above average bachelor degree in related field, GRE, English language proficiency, good motivational letter, 2 letter of recommendation etc...

You might just be considered!


Where you able to gain admission with ur cgpa at a US school?

Akukpim:
Please, I am new to this forum. Sorry for bumping into this section this way and possible must have disjointed the discourse.

I was admitted into Brandon University, in Canada few weeks ago for Masters programme. I graduated with a CGPA of 4.45 from a renowned Federal Uni here in Naija (2013), had my Nysc from 2014-2015. My mum is late and I happen to be the only child. My dad is retired and kinda economically incapacitated. I have a friend who has promised giving me 2Million already (will transfer to my account on my request), plus about a million or so in my personal account. I also have a banker whose customer has pledged to be my sponsor with over 10Million in her account. My godfather is also at my reach if I need an alternative account. I am bequeathed with a landed property in one of the metropolis in the southern Nigeria, plus few others in the rural area (Village). My tuition as stated by the Uni is approx. $4k. Considering the above, do I stand a chance of getting the visa if I apply? If not, what can I do to boost my chances? This is my very 1st...

I have noticed the kind contribution of justwise and others. Please help a friend here. In anticipation....

cc: hayqinsbFX, thesoj, vancouverguy, et al...

Do you work? Or can u documents source of ur funds by way of employment letter, letter of introduction, pay slip etc etc

@mctowel01
people will find it tiring to answer such questions because these are question u can find answers urself if you do simple research. www.studyinfinland.fi

All Ur answers are there.. Check schools and their requirements including fees if any.



And there's nothing like "English speaking school" in finland.. Mind what u write to avoid making urself a laughing stalk.

VICTORDEBELS:
Chest X-ray is a test done 'specifically' for Tuberclosis(TB) diagnosis. While ECG as you rightly described is a test done to diagnose certain heart problems/diseases like 'myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure', to mention but a few. NB: these tests are unique and have 'different test machines'. Regarding the CIC medical call, they 'might' not order for ECG because it's usually precribed for critical cases which shouldn't have warranted the said applicant to apply at the the 1st place unless, going for a medical treatment. Hope this adds?

Omo wetin u dey yarn sef. Do you know meaning of myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure?

If one should have congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction that person is near death/unconscious . Na ambulance and stretcher them go carry the person enter the hospital.

ECG is a medical technology use to ascertain if there are underlying heart conditions that can lead to myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and sudden death.

kingsize4life:
Una wey dey condemn police is it not bettere than being jobless and stealin from ur modas purse.as for I don join o no dulling

The perception about the Nigerian police force is total unfortunate. This is a very good employment for those unemployed. If you enlist into the police as a graduate (ASP) the benefits is enormous. My sister doesn't even touch her salary of 130k. In a week she makes upto 50k from side duties. The paramount ruler controlling the area her police division is just blessed their post with 500k.she collected 100k as her share (DpO 200k). She has her own fully furnished office with Ac. She cruises her Lexus 330...... The job security is there cos it is a federal government employment, you are hardly sacked. She commands great respect among her subordinate. Not to talk of free housing, Healthcare etc Her retirement gratuity and pension is waiting for her when she retires (she is just 6year old in the force). That means she has the potential of climbing to atleast AIG of police.


What am I saying in essence? Forget about the stereotype. Police is lucrative my people. It is a very veritable employment. To me far more better than bank Work

ahmadgulam:
please which one is Police specialist?

Specialist. As the name implies, u have a specialized area in which you will be trained in and ur jurisdiction will be within that department. Specialists seldom wear uniform except on occasions and u hardly see them on the road. My sister is an ASP (forensic). There are works, communication, logistics etc.. But the down side is that those in general duty makes more money outside their monthly pay. Cos their involvement is kinda broad.
