We Nigerians love to exagerate things, what really is recession? we are just witnessing recession from stealing public funds and not economy recession. If we truely know what recession is, we wont even pray for it. It is the wime when money wont have value. its a time where u have money but cant buy anything. imagine being in Lagos and we have to queue to buy a loaf of bread because its only two bakery functioning in the whole city. Imagine that we have to buy a bottle water and three of us have to share it. Imagine buying a bag of rice at the rate of 500,000 naira only for ten families to share it. Go to the country that truely witness recession and u would realize that all we are seeing is just a tip of the iceberg. Guys lets be positive and dont pronounce negativetivy into our lives. we are still in a country that u get to the market and buy what we want, we are still in a country where there is promo here and there, manufacturers soliciting for patronage, there are still ppl buying new cars, houses, clothes, phones, even make up for ladies and u said we have recession. We are in recession for stealing, prostitution etc not a true economy recession and i pray we dont see it.

GossipHeart:
Nigerians are so stupid

You lawyers,Doctors, Teachers,pharmacist, Nurses, Pilots, President smokes weed, Trust me
They think that smoking marijuana is bad to your health.

Many states in the USA legalized marijuana, if there are any health affecting components in weed, they wouldn't even think of legalizing marijuana.
Now, ask people the chemical in weed, 90% of them don't even know it

THC is the chemical in weed, now go check what THC is.

The USA will spend billions of dollars in studying and experimenting the health implications on any item they wanna pass to the public, they did that on weed and they found nothing, that's why USA, the home of scientists and the best country in the world legalized weed.

Do you know what is in the alcohol you drink ??No
Alcohol is the most dangerous thing on earth yet some of you fools that thinks smokers are liable to die young do drink alcohol


Now ask your foolish self, why do doctors prescribe marijuana for cancer, asthma, anxiety,ocd, epileptic seizure patients ??

Ignorant Nigerians

Obviously coming from a marijuana smoker, better repent or you die young.

[size=14pt]MMM IS A SCAM!!!
MMM IS A SCAM!!!
MMM IS A SCAM!!![/size]

Apparently Nigerians have forgotten that awoof dey run belle. For heavens sake MMM is nothing more than a glorified Ponzi scheme, do people ever learn? Even the official description shows that MMM is a giant scam. See the description below especially the part in bold:

In MMM, u provide help (that is donate any amount starting from 1000naira to 3.8million naira) of any amount and in 30 days u get 30% of your money + the amount in 30days paid directly into your bank account.

Please how does providing help translate to getting 30% interest? When you help a person do you get your money back with 30% interest?
Of course people are getting their money back with 30% interest but the question is HOW IS MMM MAKING MONEY TO PAY PEOPLE 30% INTEREST?
You CANNOT and I repeat you CANNOT make money from thin air as MMM is doing. The money that is paid to 'investors' is gotten from new money that is brought in by new mugus. This is the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Mr wise man congratulations for your wisdom.
Now can you do us the favour of watching us make 60k every month?

Lol

crownedrookie:
Ignorance speaking. "They" do not collect your money for one month. I have pledged over 2 weeks ago and my money is still in my pocket. I have no reason to be scared of mmm. When they pair me, I pay not into their account but that of a fellow Nigerian, and can withdraw as soon as I like because the requisite 2 weeks have passed. Inquire before speaking

Bros, the guy just asked a simple question, all these insults are uncalled for.

Long live MMM

stanleyalpacino:
I was scammed by a nairalander who claims he gives fixed matches. He claims he resides in kebbi state. His name is daodu opeyemi. I feel like stabbing him severally with chisles and knives in his neck ,groin and anus till he bleeds to death. Lesson : trust nobody,the Angel you think you know can be your worst nightmare.

You are just too dull.

Moderator ban this guy for derailing this thread.

What I don't understand is why only 3 herdsmen should be missing.

Enugu is too gentle for my liking.
Anyway I don't expect anything more from a state controlled by a weeping governor.

Make Fulani herdsmen, try nonsense in Aba or Onitsha and you go shock with what will happen.

Fulani came to your land and killed over 20 people and you are busy weeping and fasting.

Enugu should just borrow a leaf from Anambra and Abia state.

These fools don't need gentility.
If they attack you, target them and wipe them off and share their cows.

I wonder what these gworo chewing Daura President is doing?

Fulani herdsmen should be banned and be provided With Ranch.

They are just a nuisance to the society.

MUN is a very good school.
They get Part Provincial Funding thats why Tuition is Low, plus fir starters thats one of the easiest place to live and get your PR done.

Thanks, I will substitute Manitoba with MUN.

MUN has my research interest which is
REFLECTION SEISMOLOGY.
I so much like that course and I have a journal already that relates to the course REFLECTION SEISMOLOGY,

I also have fair knowledge in Petrel software which is a software used for seismic interpretation, seismic to well tie and synthetic seismogram.

@ Mcowubaba, emma4eva, yemdogg
and other gurus in the thread.

How do you see Memorial Uuniversity Newfoundland?

Do you advise people to apply there?
Is the school really good enough?

I just checked their tuition fees and it's very Low Compared to other universities.

Is the school substandard to have such low tuition?

Thanks and waiting for response.

I am having double mind now, I feel like applying in MUN too

niggi4life:
if u don't know u ask..
And mind you, seun doesn't make his money from ANY traffic coming to his blog, Linda does so because she's affiliated with Google Adsense, seun makes money from those adverts u see up and down there


When una eye clear i go remind una

Keep on doubting while I keep on getting alert monthly.
I have already realized my capital and still counting.

More greese to your doubting elbow

niggi4life:
you are still speaking chinese, simple question, how does MMM make their own profit since they don't accept those money, rather people send this money to each other?

Through traffic generated from Millions of people visiting the site and uploading videos and statement of purpose.

Very soon you will ask, How does Seun and Linda make their money?

Mcowubaba:
Good Evening, sorry for the delay in replying, I was busy with work.
Now from what you have sent, it is self explanatory, very clear and concise...
University of Western Ontario has told that you could still be admitted with the CGPA, but it depends on some factors like Letter of intent also known as Statement of purpose, which I mentioned earlier, number of applications nd getting a supervisor....
Now this is why I was asking you what type of Masters degree you were applying for.
Because getting a Supervisor that is willing to handle your research/Thesis will go a very long way in determining your admission...
Now my advise, firstly from the Department page, find their research publications or journals, then check the ones that are related to your proposed field or specialization, then try and get in contact with the Authors of this Journals (by clicking on their profile and sending them mail, there are guidelines for this)

please note most research nd publications are done by both students and professors/lecturers, try and find out the one that's a professor, I believe this won't be a problem for you.
I know people with lower CGPA that were admitted for Masters degree program at the University of Alberta, Queens University and University of Ontario Institute of Technology, bros your CGPA is okay..... As I said before.

All you need now is to write a very good letter of intent/statement of purpose, give them official email address of your references - mostly from academic background: your HOD, your project supervisor, your Course adviser should be among your reference, but if you believe the wouldn't write very well about you, you can find other lecturers in your department you believe will give you a powerful reference, your last employer can also give u a reference, even the place you may have served in via NYSC (ppa) ...
Don't be scared about your CGPA..
Find a supervisor, as I told you
Write a very powerful letter of intent/statement of purpose
Arrange your updated Curriculum Vitae/Resume very well
Please don't lie or say things which you can't defend...

But most Course based Masters program don't require you to find a Supervisor, so I don't knw what University of Western Ontario is talking about, anyways the will know better

Where you will need a supervisor is UofM for Thesis based Masters, getting a supervisor is not hard, just package yourself very well, if you're a Religious person, you can also pray to your God..
Sometimes in UofM, you may not even find a supervisor, all you need to do is to register, because during registration, you may be asked to provide a Thesis title and how you intend going about it, this will be reviewed and a professor or Dr maybe allocated to you if the have any that is interested in your Research, anyway send the department a mail about this for more information ....

University of Manitoba has a relatively cheap tuition $14,000 - $20,000, compared to other Universities.

And now the advantages of doing a Thesis based Masters is very good, you could easily get sponsorship, funds, awards to do a PhD program... You could also get very personal with your supervisor, which will be very beneficial for you
Disadvantages of thesis based, it's time consuming, you have to be very smart, hardworking, independent, focused and knowledgeable, if not you may not finish on time or may not meet the requirements for conferment of the Masters degree ...

University of Western Ontario is in Ontario province, the 2nd biggest province in Canada and the most populous province, it's full of job opportunities, and lots of Africans are there.

Advantages of Course based Masters, it is a bit less stressful, just like how you learnt in Nigerian University, come to class, learn with colleagues, receive lectures, some maybe online, write test occasionally, exams, internship, do a dissertation at the end. Simple

Disadvantages, difficulty in getting funding or external support, more stressful in getting a PhD admission

Most applications deadlines for winter/spring 2017(have passed) and fall 2017 are fast approaching.. Manitoba is on 30th of November for fall 2017 admission, so you have to act fast....
Start your registration immediately, go nd apply for Transcript, get a student's copy that you will use to upload in their page...
You will be required to provide an original transcript directly from your University, but that is after the have given you a provisional admission...

Don't use any agent, you can do it on your own....
Any other questions or clarification, you ask anyone here...
Many people have much more informations than me.... So feel free to consult them...
We wish you well and we are here for you.

Chaiiii.
Ever since I joined nairaland, I have never seen such an explanatory post, even all the questions I intend asking next is treated leaving me speechless and questionless.

May God bless you abundantly for this post.

For now, I don't have any further question.

Thanks so much.

I am applying for fall and from their websites, application starts next month on 1st September

@Mcowubaba

Please I am still waiting for your wonderful response sir.

Thanks

OtunbaJega:
I don't know about UWO, but that GPA is a little bit low for UofM... But you should give it your best shot... I have seen people with lower GPA get admission... You might be lucky if you dig it hard

Thanks my boss.

Mcowubaba:
Firstly your CGPA is not low, it's okay

Secondly what type of Masters degree are you applying for (course based or Thesis) ??

Thridly, did you meet the other requirements for international Graduate studies in the Universities you intend applying to ?? Check their international Graduate students page

Hope you know that Applying in this two Universities will require you to pay 100$ non refundable application fee twice (that's 200$= #47,574) check current exchange rates at www.xe.com
In your application process, I think you will be required to write about your skills, academic experience, reasons of selecting the department, what you intend to achieve with the qualifications you will get if given admission, these are called STATEMENT OF PURPOSE, make sure you submit a wonderful statement of purpose, there are guidelines for writing this, check
https://www.google.com.ng/search?site=&source=hp&ei=-abFV46CEsH7UoeCnsgH&q=how+to+write+statement+of+purpose&oq=How&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.0.35i39k1j0i67k1l4.1616.2242.0.3444.6.6.0.1.1.0.428.1139.3-2j1.3.0....0...1c.1j4.64.mobile-gws-hp..2.4.1187.3.m_pjBDOx_kk

Now depending on the type of Masters degree you're applying for, that will determine my next advise to you....
Shalom

Thanks so much for your wonderful response.

I intend to apply for
Msc (course based) University of western Ontario
Msc (thesis based) university of Manitoba.

Sir, you asked if I meet the other requirements for international Graduate studies in the Universities you intend applying to ?

I don't think there is other requirements I don't meet
My highest fear is My GP.

manitoba mentioned 3.0 out of 4.5
If you convert my GP from 5point scale to 4.5point scale, you will get 3.35 which is a little bit higher than the minimum requirement of 3.0.

Secondly University of western Ontario demands at least 75% in that specific course I am applying for.
But general faculty minimum Gp is 70%

If you change my GP to percentages, you will get exactly
74.4% which is 0.6 lower than the minimum requirement for the specific course.


Now the confusion is this

I mailed the two universities and this is the response I got. From the below response from the two universities, it means that my GP will still be converted to Canadian grade before admission is considered.
GP wey low, na em dey wan convert to Canadian based grade.




University of western Ontario
Dear Basalt,

Thank-you for your interest in our course-based MSc program!

Western's School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS; grad.uwo.ca) will evaluate your transcript and convert your grades to the Canadian grade scale. If your grades are equivalent to approximately 75% on the Canadian grade scale your application will be reviewed by the Earth Science Graduate Admissions committee. Please note that admission into the program is quite competitive, and we usually receive more applications than we have available spots. Apart from grades, admission decisions also consider the strength of the applicant's Letter of Intent and their reference letters. Your grades are a little on the low side, but if you can secure a faculty member (http://www.uwo.ca/earth/people/faculty/index.html) who is willing to supervise you and advocate for your admittance into the course-based MSc program then it is possible that you may be accepted. It really depends on how many people apply and how you rank among the other applicants, and if there's a faculty member who wants to take you on as their student.

Best wishes,

Jen

Thanks my boss at the top.

But they said that TOEFL is waved for those that obtained Bsc courses which language of taught is English Language, and I was taught with English language here in Nigeris.

SurePresident:
Awesome! Achieving success through hard work not like the thief guy known as SmartSmsSolutions.com I brought his case here because someone here recommended the fraudulent website to me. I bought bulk sms from him since, yet till now I've not been credited. If that's the only way he swindles people of their hard earned money, I wouldn't be so excruciatingly pained. He put 2 of his numbers on his website that you must call for almost 10 t 20 times (that's if you are lucky) before somebody picks. Meanwhile, each time you call the number, whooping N12 is always being deducted from your phone. Must an answering machine answer the phone!!! Go to the website and call the numbers to confirm this. Even if he's busy, is it not better to off the phone instead of robbing people of their hard-earned money through this callous trick?! SmartSmsSolutions.com is a Fraud, BE warned and BEWARE!

But my brother uses that same website to purchase his bulk SMS

dickrider:
The igbos hatred for Buhari is second to none. How will a sane person give a dog a whole president and commander in chief's name? This is the after effect of the negative messages Nnamdi kanu preached on his useless radio. He taught most of them to disrespect the president all because of their useless biafra agitations. I suggest this man be locked up and the keys thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. This will serve as a lesson to other unpatriotic IPOB yoots who found mentorship in Nnamdi kanu. How will the Igbo's feel if one names a goat Ojukwu? Biafra will never come

Shut up!

What do you know apart from dickriding?
Your username says it all!

You are a dickrider

emmahoney:
Do you think that you are making sense? I do not blame you but the system that is making you to run your mouth. Next time, do not just type gibberish. Get a job and master on it as if that is how it is easy to get it. Many have not gotten a job after graduating many years ago. Those of us that have gone for masters are still more relevant than them in the labour market.

Bros, you are only more relevant than us in lecturing jobs and mind you, if you don't have 2.1 in your Bsc, you may not even be considered in lecturing jobs.

So the most important certificate you need for entry level jobs is Bsc, Msc is just to acquire more certificates which is usually not sacrosanct.

I finished service last three months and I rather not do Msc than wasting my time acquiring Nigerian Msc.

Nigerian Msc guarantees nothing because you will still be subjected to the same recruitment process with Bsc holders.

I don't like albinos.

But my NYSC girlfriend was very fair in complexion.

What can I say,than to say tank u Lord,tanks to narialand and every other site that I've been of help for the job seekers,jst sooooo happy,honestly I'm short of words all I knw s dat I got a job I didn't apply for,I base in ABJ and I got my job frm LAG,snd my approval letter to me,even asking mi if d job s okay by me,if God can ans my prayers he can also ans urs all u need to do,don't give up.God bless you all.

First of all, congratulations for the job.
But I am confused here.

You said you never applied for the job, so how come you got it?
Do you have someone in the company?

How can somebody get work he never applied to in this current Nigerian economic situation where employees are being sacked ?

Please explain to me what actually Happened
