It’s cold. Wood insulates better than concrete.

Can someone explain to me why these guys don't use cement to build their houses?

I've noticed this in foreign houses. Just plank and small metal. They don't even have foundations. Small breeze, everything don scatter.

Is cement very expensive there abi its illegal to build houses with cement?

I'll appreciate helpful comments.

This is not the first time this is happening.
Did you know that the Queen’s late father, George VI was not even supposed to be king?
His brother Edward VIII who was king for about 11 months before his abdication, left the throne when he proposed to Wallis Simpson.

To document financing, you need your sponsor to give you a 'letter of sponsorship' and also bank statement.

You must transfer the required amount of money in order to get your study permit.
There's no other way.

Deferment of admission is not allowed, for UiS at least (I believe it should be the same for other schools tho).
I can't say for other schools.
If you're admitted to UiS and can't make it to Norway that year for one reason or the other, you have to re-apply for admission.
The only thing you should do (and can do) is notify them and they will keep your documents for the next application period.

I applied to only one school and fortunately, I was admitted.
I don't know much about sending multiple applications but I think that can be achieved on Soknadsweb.

Yes. I don't have much cash to pay for foreign hosts so am considering local hosts. Wanted to go for whogohost initially but a colleague told me to use Qservers. Now I want to throw it to the general public to help me decide based on their experiences with the hosting companies.

Food › Re: What Meals Do I Need To Avoid To Stop Growing Fat? by bucky123(m): 7:55am On Apr 15, 2018

Shukusheka:
Hey guys I need your help, the way I'm adding weight these days is alarming and worrisome. I was weighing 74kg last year, I checked my weight last week I was weighing a whooping 85kg.

I'm adding excessive fat on my cheeks, laps, and my stomach is beginning to protrude like I mistakenly swallowed a calabash.

I understand losing weight is 70% dieting and 30% exercise, so I need help to know the meals I need to avoid and what I need to take also to help shed some of the weight. I'm really keen on dropping down to at least 72 by the end of this year.

I do my sit-ups and I have cut down on my late night meals but I'm not seeing much improvement.

Hello Shukusheka,

Weight loss is really not as complicated as people make it seem. It's quite simple, you have to be at a calorie deficit to lose weight, what this means is that the calories you burn in a day must be more than the calories you take in . So simply eating 500cal less than what you normally eat will eventually make you lose fat it might take longer but it will happen. To do this, you need to start counting calories, you can download apps like LoseIt! Or Under armour's myfitnesspal to help keep track of your macronutrients. I'd also recommend intermittent fasting (I have been intermittent fasting for close to a year) as it will improve your metabolism and insulin resistance.

You should also do aerobic exercises: find some kind of activity you enjoy doing maybe running, jogging, walking, etc. Just make sure you're not sedentary. Make it an habit to take about 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day.

As a matter of fact, shukusheka, you must lift weights, to me that is the best way to burn fat. It will not only build your muscle but it will cut through all that fat like hot knife through butter. See, growing muscles need lots of energy so your body will turn to your fat reserves to get the needed energy. The result is that you will get a lean ( more muscle, less fat) structure.

If you can combine all of these ( proper nutrition, cardio, weightlifting) and you are consistent, you will reduce your body fat . Don't expect it to happen overnight because it didn't take overnight to accumulate all the fat you want to lose. It will take time.

I believe you don't want to lose fat now and gain it again so get ready to make this your lifestyle. If you really want to do this, you have to make it a priority. You have only one body to live in, put it in the best shape possible.

If you're around Ikeja, holla and I'll hook you up.

I was trying to say it's a straightforward process and I just described how you can get the document that the bank asked you to.
Click on the link that ends with newstudents under Visa for non EU. I just went through my UiS admission letter again and downloaded the pdf file from that link. There you'll find UiS bank account details and the amount to be transferred. Is there no such link on your admission letter? Or you didn't go through it thoroughly I guess.

Let me paste it here for you. Click on Document for financing
http://www.uis.no/studies/master-s-programmes-in-english/new-students/newly-admitted-students-article85717-9360.html

I did come across the pdf file but I did not know that was what they needed.
Thank you very much for your help.

P.S.
I believe this is the document you speak of.

Well, from what i know the school is suppose to send you a letter for "visa purpose" where the amount you are supposed to transfer is clearly stated. I am talking from my experience with UiT, and i think the same should be obtainable in UIS.

This was what I got from UiS, I don't know what to make of it.

That was exactly what I thought too until I was asked to provide invoice from the school. I provided every other thing they asked for: international passport,
Admission letter, Bachelors degree certificate but the only one I couldn't provide was the invoice for payment.

I thought the process is pretty straightforward. Download your admission letter. Click on the link that talks about visa for non EU students in the letter and download the required pdf files that pertain to you there.

Please has anyone been able to transfer the living expenses using the CBN Form A?
I was at GTBank earlier today and I was told I needed to get some documents including Invoice from the school in order to be able to use Form A. However, UiS said they do not give out invoices for this purpose.

I recently applied to NTNU for MSc. but the school where I had by Bachelor's has been on strike for a while now (LAUTECH). So, I've not been able to get my certificate and transcript which I've applied for by the way. However, I do have my statement of result and a collection of all my semester results. Can I use these in place of the certificate and transcript respectively?

Good day,
I'm a Nigerian graduate hoping to do my MSc. in Physics at NTNU, Norway. The documentation of financing on the website says ' In your application for admission, you may document financing by means of a bank statement or a letter of confirmation from your sponsor. The amount per year (the minimum amount is currently NOK 103 950), must be stated in the letter. The letter must be in English, or come with an English translation. If applicable, the name of your sponser must also be stated in the letter.'

I want to know if I'll need to get my sponsor's statement of account or just a letter of confirmation will do.
