lassky: wats d worth of d scholarship? Did u also support it with soa?
I supported it with an SOA of a sibling which is just a lil above 1m.
NB:the worth is sufficient to cater for both tuition n living expenses. I only used d SOA to strengthen my app.

codebreaker: Did they pay your tuition already or is it after your visa what were the conditions stated.. check your email..
No, they didn't pay it.The worth of the scholarship is clearly stated in the letter.
I didn't see ur mail.

bjoseph: To those that are contemplating on where to do their medicals, if you based in Lagos or near Lagos, I would suggest Asaju Medical Clinics. Reason for this is that, I experienced their speedy rate of sending medical result to embassy this week. I booked an appointment with them on Wednesday July 2 and today I got an update that have passed the medical. An indication that, they can process your medics within 2 days. Please friends that have gotten their TRVs, after passing the medics, what next. Are some required to pay tuition after the medics or it ought to have been asked before the medics?
Please do u know if they open on Saturday?

UzoTheZone: Hi bro. Congrats on your medical call up.

codebreaker: scholarship letter from the oil comp that is gonna employ me on my return.. Do you guys think I need only the scholarship letter and offer of employment on return..What other docs do I need apart from those two ..
Also do I put my mom as a co sponsor or do you think its not necesary.. my bank statement no make sense just 22 n I finished servicing last nov..

Anybody knows what docs schoarship people submited? And success story cos school starts sept.

Your replies would be highly needed.. Arigato
Dude, you do not have problem. My success story is in d making already as I got called for medicals yesterday.I was granted full scholarship by the university I am going to for my graduate program.
Your scholarship letter would do a very good work for u. In my own case, I submitted my brother's SOA, letter of intro from his place of work, his 4months pay slip and affidavit sworn for my sponsorship.I added all this so as to give a proof of connection to my homeland.
Aside this, my sop summarized all I have worked on, what problems I wanna come back home to solve....
In my own opinion, I think u are good to go. You may just add your parent's docs to strenghten it more and also assure them you gat backup finance source should anything happen.Which of d schools are you heading to ?

Foreign AffairsRe: China Bans Muslim Officials From Observing Ramadan by bashorunbazok: 6:43am On Jul 03, 2014
Sure this comes as a great news to you islamophobes. What the clown that made the rule doesn't understand however is that you can't obstruct them as their mind is made up already to fast for their Lord. Fasting is more from the inside. They can only increase their reward from Allah if they make the condition unbearable for them. Na today e start to dey happen?
And to you happy ones here on nairaland, I guess you would need to assist the clown in implementing such a laughable rule. Will they tie them down and feed them by force or probably inject food into their minds? Many don't even think deep, they are always quick to cast aspersion when they read anything against Islam.

I applied for Advisory. I was called around 4pm or there about. She told me to come to their Marina Office.

I can't be the only one that got the call, may be they are calling based on the section we applied to. I am confident they would get back to everyone. I wish everyone the very best.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Name One Thing That Happened This Year, You Won't Forget by bashorunbazok:
For me, it's hard to pick one. There has been series of events I can never forget; both positive and negative.

It is this same year I won an all expenses paid trip to attend a conference in Europe for the 3rd time.

It is this same year I was disqualified after passing an aptitude test for a scholarship to study in Europe.I traveled down to Port Harcourt from Akure just to write the test

It is this same year I was disqualified at the final interview stage (stage 4 of 4) of one of the leading multinational companies in Nigeria.

It is this same year I narrowly missed a scholarship to study in the UK...I scored high in the test but someone scored 1 or 2 marks higher.

It is this same year my GIRL left me; the only girl I have ever loved truly.

It is this same year I got my present job in the Oil industry, and it is this same year I got another offer from a Telecoms giant which I don't think I would consider.

*some texts missing*

In retrospect, 2013 has been a YEAR that I can never forget! A lot of near misses, a lot of sorrowful moments, and quite a number of awesome moments.

Alhamdulillah for everything...

Dude, U are quite on point. I see you everywhere on Nairaland.I am quite impressed with most of your contributions. I see anything you write on Nairaland(cos I follow you)...Nice one!

With the way you are going, I am confident you would land yourself a dream job soonest. You know so much about this oyel industry, thats cool. I just entered the industry, the downstream sector. I am in supply&operations section of one of those downstream companies. Quite new anyway, its my 2nd month. I would like to chat u up, if u dont mind.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Ernst And Young Recruiting Graduate Trainees 2013 by bashorunbazok: 6:27am On Nov 02, 2013
This company is quite funny o. I am not surprised anyway, since they have luxury of choice to make from the millions of graduates hustling for jobs. I can remember that the recruitment process started in August when we wrote the test. Why does it take them so long for them to decide? I could remember the Head of HR telling us at the AC that they would get back ASAP. I wonder if their 'soon' isn't ripe enough yet. And now they are calling for another AC. I am not sure they can't try all this crap in a sane world.

Its just taking forever.... At least if am expecting response from an 'oyel company', I am sure its worth it. I only hope their pay is worth all this wahala.



Congrats to those that got the new AC invite o.All the best to us all

Of recent, I read that the use of synthetic weavon is not haram and also the use of wigs made from animal furs. Will really like to know more. Pls keep the comments coming.
Please where did u read such? How would someone having those attachments covering her hair be able to perform ablution properly? I heard its not permissible. Allahu Alam

Car TalkRe: Japanese Or German Cars- Which Do You Prefer And Why? by bashorunbazok: 4:42pm On Oct 22, 2013
Its a tough question for me.I believe Japanese cars are more fuel efficient and ofcos their spare parts are readily available. However, my ultimate love for Mercedeez, BMW and Audi would make me go with German machines. Talk about German machines, talk about elegance, talk about class. wink

IslamRe: Can A Muslim Work In An Interest-seeking Bank by bashorunbazok:
DMainMan: Salam'alaekum my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. Can a Muslim work in bank. I know that benefiting from interest is haram.

I checked online sources as it was pinpointed that working in bank is haram. Although, some other website said one can work there as the interest God is talking of is not related to banking.

I also asked one of my Alfa and he said it isnt ok to work in bank that i should try to avoid but said one can work there based on one"s intention. One of which is that you are working to gain and learn experience so that u will add value to Islamic banking. Non-muslims are working in Islamic banks as they are more qualified and experienced. He also said if one is unemployed, one can go there for the time being but continue to search for other ones and leave even if the salary is lesser. He must go there with dat intention and constantly seek forgiveness.

I am kind of confused o. I av a very big decision to make. Just got a job offer in a bank having applied two years ago when seriously job searching then but was not even aware it is a commercial bank (Interest-seeking) cos de didnt mention the name. I had even forgotten but to my dismay, i got an offer letter. I av been so perplexed. Some advise me to go to training school to learn and withdraw but ethically I think it is bad. But is it wrong based on my intention of not wanting to work in a place that promote interest?

I resigned from my previous job to pursue a full-time Masters degree currently. This ASSU strike is not even helping matters at all.

Technically, I am now unemployed. My previous job salary was very small. As a man, who intends getting married soonest and catering for expenses, I av to move on for better opportunity. I cant allow my wife-to-be suffer wink.

This bank offer salary is mesmerizing tongue. It is only few multinational companies that can pay it. Should I take it and risk sins upon sins as usury was mentioned quite upon numbers in the Holy Quran. Or is halal due to my circumstance and accept d offer den b a real man, marry and cater for my expenses in dis dunya and d deen. Working in d bank could also affect my Masters as there is two years bondage if I leave or risk paying two million naira. I heard ASSU strike could b on till next year.

It is hard staying at home with nothing to do. There are no job opportunities as before. I have tried other options in getting but to no avail

Please advise notably based on Islamic point of view. I have five days to decide. D decision I take could determine my future. U can also send me a mail to "dmainman@yahoo.com" for islamic resources concerning working in a bank.

Jazakhallahukhairan as I anticipate ur contribution.
My bro in the deen, my strong advise for you is to let go the offer.I know it is quite tempting, very tempting.However, your creator has something better in stock for u.
I am also in d job hunt too.Despite the dearth of job openings, I still maintain my job search criteria.I have never applied to any banking institution, brewery, and even tobacco manufacturing companies. I am confident I would have secured a job in any of those(insha Allah), if I was actually applying to them.I studied engineering, and I made a very good grade from it in one of naija's top schools.My philosophy has always been that " no matter how terrible the economy of the jungle is,Lions will never feed on grass". I am still seriously searching but I have opted for a small halal means that keeps me busy.
See, Akhi, the mouth watering offer u are talking about is ephemeral. How would u feel if u bring up ur family with an haram means.Would u be very confident to pray to him who had instructed u to stay away from such? Again , what if you die in the course of your haram banking career(I pray u live long)? How would u explain to ur creator? Do u know the punishment involved in benefiting from usury?...Allah said such person should prepare to fight war with him.Are u ready for that?
There were times I had all it takes to pursue a career at Goldman Sachs,It was dis fear that made me back out. Weigh the worldly benefits and compare it with the punishments of the hereafter. Weigh the duration our stay here on earth and that of the hereafter.I think if u ponder on all this, u would be able to decide....this is just my one cent.
You can, however, go with other people's opinion of accepting the offer sha,if ur Iman can't withstand it.But what I have written above is purely my own Islamic view about it.

Salam Alaykum ya akhi
