Gudevnin good people of this good page. I really want to thank the great GOD of Isreal, and the people of nziraland. Submitted my passport and documents on 27th august at ikeja, and I just got my passport back with d visa. One reason am very happy is dt I was denied a USA student visa last year fro my masters, so I felt so discouraged that it might affect dis current applicatiin. I almost didnt include in my UK application that I have a previous denial from USA. But thank GOD I said d truth, and today recieved one of the hardest visas to get. All d best to all those expecting. And for those who are contemplating if they should lie about previous refusals, please just tell the truth and present ur case well, first to GOD, then to the embassy, shalom

Thank u broda, well wishes

No matter how good your IELTS academic module is, you need to rewrite General Training Module with even a better score. GT is the module required for immigration. I see an advantage in you, Academic module is usually more difficult than GT, so if you passed the formal well, the later should be a walk in the park.

You would also.need to.do ECA with WES Canada. Others can weigh in here.

Your USA visa denial should not affect your chances unless you were denied for very serious reasons. Others can also weigh in here to....

In summary, it is a very simple process. You can start now and if God wills, you can be in Canada before year ends...[/quote]

Politics / Re: Buhari's Government Deserves Praise For Improvement In Power Supply by BOLAUWA: 11:45am On Oct 13, 2017
Asaba currently has never enjoyed constant power supply like this in a long time. The improvement is attributed to the fact that about 3 months ago when osinbajo visited the region, he had a small showdown with nepa, and so there was improvement. Someone corroborated the story from yenegoa too. So the op might not be wrong.

Travel / Re: U.S. Student Visa (F1, M1, & J1) Forum - We're Listening by BOLAUWA: 6:21am On Jul 19, 2017
Good morning Officer. Please I need advice urgently. I went for my F1 visa interview last Friday in Abuja. From my assessment, I think I answered the questions correctly and honestly. At the end of the interview, the VO held on to my passport and financial statements and gave me a 221g denial paper. She said if she needed more information, I will be contacted. It's been up to 3 days now, I have checked CEAC, and it states administrative processing. Now, the problem I have is that, I applied for a scholarship exam here in Nigeria, and I was just given an invite to come for the orals in 2 days time in port Harcourt , and my passport is a requirement. I want to find out how long it will take for my passport to be returned, or if I can apply to get my passport back to enable me attend the interview. Just confused

Good day my travel gurus in this forum. Attended my visa interview at the Abuja embassy today. After the interview, the V. O gave me a yellow paper and held on to my passport and statement of account. She said she needed to verify somethings, and that I will be contacted if more information is needed. On the yellow paper, she wrote "administrative processing " as the reason for holding on to my document. I have logged on to ustraveldocs.com to check my status and it states administrative processing. Please anyone been thru such situations?

Health / 15000 Medical Doctors Dump Naija For Foreign Countries by BOLAUWA: 8:45pm On May 05, 2017
15,000 Doctors Dump Nigeria for Overseas Posted: 05/May/2017 * 500 take exams to relocate in 2017 * 700 doctors leave every year –NMA * Stakeholders lament brain drain * Doctors protest 22 months unpaid salaries No fewer than 15,000 medical doctors have left Nigeria for overseas in search of greener pastures. A reliable source at the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) told New Telegraph that “over 15,000 doctors have travelled out of Nigeria to developed countries where they are now practising medicine.” President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Mike Ogirima, confirmed that between 10,000 and 15,000 Nigerian doctors are working outside the country. Ogirima told New Telegraph that about 90 per cent of those working outside the country are trained in Nigeria where they acquired their capacity. The NMA President noted that between 40,000 and 60,000 doctors are working in the country. Ogirima said: “Nigeria has trained these doctors while other countries are making use of them. That is a sad thing. Of course in a country where the working environment is not conducive, what do you expect? “So, we expect the government to improve the working environment, provide the necessary tools for the doctors to work with and give them needed welfare to encourage them to stay in the country.” Just last month, over 500 doctors took examination for possible recruitment placement abroad. For Nigerian doctors looking for employment in the United States, they write the United States Medical Licensing Examination, while those seeking employment opportunities in the United Kingdom write examination with the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB). Unfortunately, the conditions driving the migration have worsened with more doctors working for several months in the country without salaries. While providing an insight into the trend, a top member of the NMA told New Telegraph that in 2015, a total number of 715 doctors departed the shores of Nigeria, seeking greener pastures in foreign countries. “Annually, the number of Nigerian doctors departing the country to work abroad ranges between 500 to 700,” a top NMA official told our correspondent. Giving details of the doctor’s migration, a medical doctor who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said more Nigerian doctors move to the UK while a fewer number go to Canada. “Their final destination is, however, the United States (U.S.), which offers them better remuneration and welfare package. “For these Nigerian doctors, working in the UK, Canada and other countries, including the Caribbean, working in these foreign nations is a stepping stone,” he said. The source added that foreign doctors, including the ones from Nigeria, don’t enter the U.S. directly. According to the source, “Migrating doctors have to go through UK, Canada and later enter the U.S. It’s easier to go to the UK, but the population of Nigerian doctors in the U.S. is more. “The final destination of majority of doctors leaving Nigeria for greener pastures is the U.S., because that is the country that pays more.” Explaining the migration, the member of NMA said going to the Caribbean to practice has been on with Nigerian doctors for a long time, but usually, that is not their final destination. When these doctors want to settle down, they usually move further to the U.S. and Canada. The source noted that not all the doctors in the country, an estimated 40,000, practice medicine. Some have since left the medical field to venture into other areas, some don’t renew their registration while some are dead. The doctors’ migration to overseas countries has, however resulted in huge workload for the medical practitioners that are left behind. Presently, the doctor-patient ratio in Nigeria is one doctor to 4,250 patients, which is far below the World Health Organisation (WHO), recommended one doctor to not more than 600 patients. On the contrary, Dr. Adeyeye Arigbabuwo, immediate past chairman, Association of General Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (AGPMPN), Lagos State Chapter said some countries have achieved better doctor-patient ratio. “Cuba has the best doctorpatient ratio – one to 170; that of the United States (U.S.) is one doctor to 390 patients; while in Australia, the ratio is one doctor to 400 patients,” he asserted. According to Arigbabuwo, Africa especially south of the Sahara, is mainly vulnerable to poor doctorpatient ratio. “It is where we have bad doctor-patient ratio,” he added. Stakeholders have raised the alarm over the continued mass exodus of Nigerian medical doctors from the country for greener pastures abroad. The stakeholders are also calling for a better welfare and improved working conditions to check the dangerous trend. Prof. Mosto Onuoha, the president of the Nigerian Academy of Science (NAS), described the migration of medical doctors abroad as “a real problem.” Highlighting the enormity of the challenge, he related the experience of a young frustrated Nigerian doctor, who decided to go for an examination, a prerequisite for Nigerian doctors to practice medicine in the United Kingdom. “This doctor went for this examination last month and the first surprise he had was that there were over 500 Nigerian doctors that came for it. “So, it is a serious problem and it is one that we at the NAS, and even me as the President of NAS, are concerned about,” Onuoha told New Telegraph. Speaking on the menace, the president of the NAS lamented that the medical doctors that are leaving Nigeria to practice abroad are the young ones, especially those that are very intelligent. “They are the ones that are capable of passing the prerequisite examinations. We are losing most of the brightest doctors that we have,” he said. The other group that Nigeria is losing, according to him, is the affluent doctors whose parents are wealthy, because they can afford to send their doctor sons and daughters for educational programmes in developed countries. Highlighting other factors driving this migration, Onuoha stated that many doctors who graduated for the past three to four years cannot get health facilities as placement for Residency training. “Most of the state hospitals available are not accredited for Residency Programmes,” he lamented. Residency is a stage of graduate medical training. A resident is one who holds the degree of MBBS, who practices medicine usually in a hospital or clinic under the direct or indirect supervision of an attending physician. During the six- year period of the Residency training, the Residents specialise in a particular field of medicine such as orthopaedics, cardiology, ophthalmology, etc. Another category of doctors the nation is losing are consultants, most of whom get frustrated because they just watch their patients die as a result of poor working environment and dilapidated working tools. Furthermore, Onuoha blamed the problem on limited hospitals that employ doctors. Federal Government is their major employer, he said, adding that although private hospitals are thriving, many of them in Abuja and Lagos are not employing many doctors. He lamented that some of the few facilities that employ doctors in Nigeria owe salaries for several months. Onuoha said: “As I speak with you, I know teaching hospitals that are paying employed doctors fractions of their salary, ranging from 70 per cent to 80 per cent. Many doctors in Nigeria work for several months without salaries.” Highlighting factors driving the migration, Dr. Arigbabuwo attributed the trend mainly to economic interest, saying those working in Nigeria do not have good incentives. “There are no incentives for the doctors to go to the rural areas and practice,” Arigbabuwo told New Telegraph. A Consultant Paediatric Haematologic Oncologist and former Chairman of Lagos NMA, Prof. Edamisan Temiye, blamed the migration of Nigerian doctors abroad on the hostile working environment in Nigeria. He said: “There are no amenities to work with. It starts with electricity, water supply to the provision of equipment to carry out treatment on patients.” What is happening, according to the former Chairman of Lagos NMA, is that the Nigerian doctors are well trained, but not given equipment to work with. Temiye noted that another reason for the migration is that everybody in Nigeria “wants to be the doctor,” adding that the competition is unhealthy and it is only in Nigeria that such competition is seen. On measures to halt this trend, the president of NAS called for the harmonisation of Residency training in Nigeria. According to Onuoha, most of the time, some Resident Doctors in Nigeria write the examinations to qualify them as consultants four to five times without passing and end up getting frustrated. “You find them leaving the country to go and practice abroad. Something needs to be done about their training. That is why often times, the resident doctors are on strike,” he said. He urged the government to pay doctors salaries as and when due as well as look into the various agreements it signed with different professional associations in the health sector with a view to addressing their problems. “We cannot continue to have the Nigerian doctors’ exodus that is on now; it is not healthy for any country,” the NAS President stated. Speaking in similar vein, the immediate former 2nd Vice Chairman of the NMA in Lagos State, Dr. Olusegun Akinwotu, urged government and stakeholders to ensure the provision of adequate remuneration for doctors in the country. “This (remuneration) is the most attractive factor driving Nigerian doctors to emigrate abroad,” he said. Akinwotu called for improved training for Nigerian doctors so that they can work with their contemporaries anywhere in the world. By: Appolonia Adeyemi

AutoElectNG:
Not a perfect analogy, but will serve nonetheless

Your situation is akin to someone whose brain has commanded him to walk but his two legs have been tired together and so despite the command to work, nothing happens and nothing will happen, or his legs are partially free but tied to each other with a chain thereby allowing movement but restricting movement (maximum speed of 80km/hr)


Brain = engine

Legs = Transmission

Replace Transmission,

The current replacement transmission is faulty. I would not drive around in a transmission that cannot utilize the full range of engine power, only capable of doing 80km/hr!

Don't even risk traveling to a faraway part of the same town with your ride in its current form.

You would be stranded in no time!

Listen to the voice of wisdom above from the 8th and 12th posters
Hmmm, thank you very much. Ur analogy is clear. I shall do d needful

timifakay:

Here is my observation from your post:
1. You have a car, one it broke down and stopped moving. When put in reverse or drive it would make a sound but won't move.
2. This made you replace the transmission and it started moving but won't go beyond 80kmph.
3. You then changed the transmission oil and filter in the new gearbox but there was no improvement.

Since the car started moving after gearbox replacement it is safe to assume the old gearbox got spoilt. (Were there any signs it was dying such as jerking or delay while changing gears?).
I will assume the replacement is a used/ Tokunbo and two things are involved it is either not a perfect fit for the engine or faulty and dying out as well.
So I think you still need to replace your transmission if that's the case.
Thanks a lot. Yes, there was a "whirring" sound in gear two before the first gear box broke down. Like the other guru said, dis is my first tym of having gear box issue. I will do as u have said, by changing the transmission again. Thanks a lot

Try to isolate the issue btw engine and transmission. Put the gear at neutral and try to see if you can rev the car to almost 6000 .
Thanks a lot gurus. I have revved the car in park position, and I almost hit 6000 rpm. I think the issue is from the transmission,as a friend also suggested. The engine is working really well. More contributions are welcome

Morgan State University is one of the good HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges) so there will be a lot of blacks there and a lot of Nigerians. Also there will be funding for the school because of affirmative action. However, the school may not be as good as many of the PWIs (predominantly white institutions).

Source:
I know a couple of people that went to the school.

My advice to people trying to pick schools? Follow the money. Go to the school that offers the best funding so your schooling can be affordable and you have less financial stress. Things are expensive in the U.S.

Going to a great school in the U.S is overrated. University is University. Except ofcourse MIT, Harvard, College Park, Yale etc.
Thanks a lot for your advice, e make sense.
