And the title of the book I dropped before opening this thread is nearly all the men in lagos are mad

That's a nice book, finished it last week.

ModelLook:
You wrote a good post yet couldn't state the Country which is the Subject of your narrative

So much for "don't let people know the country you are in o".

Nigerian Mentality Sha.

Infact people asked severally about what country it was but he still held onto that information, tightly...something Google lens will help solve.

Nigerian mentality truly sha.

Hi Bosses in the house;

I have my little autistic brother who’s 15yrs and has been living with me since 2017 due to being bullied at the village. I intend to travel with him and my wife to UK for my studies only to read here that the only dependents allowed in your application is your spouse and children.

Please house, what would be the best option to travel with him as I can’t afford to send him back to the village to stay with my parents.

Please; your responses will be greatly appreciated.

In the actual sense of the word he is your dependant as he depends on you for his care. I think you should include him, nothing wrong with trying. Just be explicit about his condition and why you need for him to be with you. I know they state these rules but they really treat these things on a case by case basis. The other thing you could do is first send an email to the consular office seeking advice about your situation.

Ugobeth:
Good morning fellow Nlanders, please I want to make an enquiry on how to get a full PhD scholarship to study computer science. I have a national diploma in computer science (CGPA 3.40/4.00), my first degree in computer science was first class (CGPA 4.67/5.00 ), my second degree was in computer science (CGPA 4.77/5.00). I just finished my thesis on Expert System. I need help looking for a full scholarship and a PhD supervisor in UK. I am a Graduate Assistant in one of the federal universities in Nigeria. Thank you all.

Use findaphd.com and jobs.ac.uk to look up funded opportunities. Also do random Google searches and dedicated search for funded studentships by specific schools.

You have an interesting portfolio so you should be able to find something.

Hello everyone!

Just a quick one especially from those with experience.

What will your advise be to one who has a bachelors degree in an interdisciplinary field of Computer Science, Management Science and Information Science.

Has about 3 years experience working in IT Support role.

Got admission offers from DBS (MSc. Information Systems with Computing and NCI (Higher Diploma in Science in Computing).

What choice will you advise such a one to take and why?

cc: @ anyone with validated experience.

Thanks.

The courses seem similar although the MSc seems to have different components that could serve as an advantage (I guess).

Putting myself in your shoes, I'll take the MSc. as it's an advanced degree and you'll have the option of getting two years to look for a job that offers visa sponsorship compared to one year if you do the Higher Diploma.

You could also check the critical skills list if you haven't done so to see that your course choices are in demand.

what you described about the Westerners is intelligence. You can't brag about intelligence with nothing to show for it.

I get your point but you cannot say a black man lacks intelligence when same black man goes abroad and excels immensely, the environment plays a huge role not the personal intellect of the person.

urchcoded:
This might sound pessimistic or rather anti black but I honestly think the "average" black man is unintelligent. We are evolving tho.

I disagree.

The average black man is very intelligent but lacks creativity and is very greedy. There is progression in the West because they seek for newer ways to do things and see it as their collective responsibility to make things right. On the other hand, an average black man rarely invents anything and at every opportunity, seeks for 'what's in it for me'.

I think the pattern of hair loss suggests alopecia universalis.

ERBE PhD Studentships – September 2020
Energy Resilience in the Built Environment Centre for Doctoral Training (ERBE CDT)
The ‘Energy Resilience in the Built Environment’ (ERBE) CDT represents an exciting partnership between MaREI (Ireland), University College London (UK), and Loughborough University (UK) that is funded through the SFI-EPSRC ‘Centres for Doctoral Training’ (CDT) Programme. The CDT will provide students with a deep understanding of buildings, low and zero carbon technologies and the socio-technical context.

The CDT promotes excellence in research through the training of cohorts of doctoral students and the fostering of collaboration between UK and ROI based researchers. ERBE will train innovative leaders with the necessary skills to transform the relationships between buildings and the energy system, providing sustainable, affordable, and healthy places to live and work.

The post-pandemic world will see a new reality for the built environment; both residential & commercial. One of the themes & project areas of the ERBE CDT is Comfort, Health & Wellbeing; which allows for a research focus on building, energy, and ICT systems that create productive and efficient work and operational environments and affordable, clean, safe homes.

This supplemental call focuses solely on the link between this theme and the impact the current pandemic will have on the ability to create these safe, affordable, healthy & operational homes and work & operational environments.

We are currently seeking student applications to join our 2020 cohort of ERBE students.

Of all the meals posted, only this one whet my appetite, looks so yummy.

masterflowx:
I just discovered that this basket has 606 holes and the cover has 112 holes.

Wrong.
Either the basket isn't yours or you counted wrong. The cover for one has more than 112. Each section has 13 holes and I see over 9 sections, 9*13= 117 plus the 4 on top, 121. And that's not all cos they're parts we can't see.

Emmanuel360:
So I contacted the school and they told men they've refunded the money in the same January I applied for it and requested I visit my banking provider.

Lo and behold the useless bank have been sitting on my money for almost two months without informing me or crediting my account. Next thing they were say was that I should write a letter requesting for the fund and even have the gut to tell me that I would not receive all the money because interest will be charged on it.

After using my money for business

I'm sure they know what they are doing in that bank

Thank you ICaSNg though

Ah Nigeria!

This is just sad, sorry about that.

I really wish the bank could be penalised for this. I think you should write a letter of complaint to CBN because in the history of banking I've never heard of money held getting deductions for interest, you should be the one paid interest for heaven's sake! Moreover, this wasn't communicated to you, please don't let it go. Atleast send out a letter to the head office or CBN, this is just criminal.

For those asking for tuition-free, scholarship, cheap fees etc, you can try the GOI-IES scholarship which favours international students.

Here's the link... http://eurireland.ie/2020/02/10/government-of-ireland-international-education-scholarships-2020/

Deadline is 27th of March, 2020.

Sprishua:
Please guys, is there any institution in Ireland that is tuition free and which platform can someone find engineering schools in Ireland.

You can try the GOI-IES scholarship...

ahiboilandgas:
thank u very much for you contribution,i think the brat is trying be using my head and his aged mum...

Apparently

Neddstark:
This is getting irritating. Dont we Nigerians read? We know we cannot compete on the average movie categories, so we opt for the international category. Unfortunately, the international category has strong rules of the language of communication not being majorly in English. When the movies eventually get rejected, we now claim racism. Why are African themed movies like "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" not going for international feature film category? Didn't African-themed "Last King of Scotland" win an oscar for best actor in the past?

Just to point out: The boy who harnessed the wind is the UK's submission in that film category. I'm guessing it's because English is the official language. The official language in Nigeria too is English hence the confusion on the basis for disqualification.

vkyburnz:
Congratulations on your 1st Class @Bjrokenhear003

Really? In Ireland?

midnighter:


Oh really?

I know he must becoming from a personal angle because he is too bitter. Its like somebodys graduation is paining him or what

He or she is truly bitter. Lamenting how s/he was denied a First class s/he 'merited' yet it's here downgrading the result another person worked hard for. I don't understand the species of idiots on this forum, it's unbelievable.

midnighter:




So you are not really talking about intelligence, you are talking about being able to beat our bad system which is not supposed to be bad in the first place

So how is there any comparison

She can only be intelligent if she can prove that the UK law professors tried to invite her to a hotel room? Or if she suffers unnecessarily reading outdated lecture notes full of grammar with no diagrams? Is intelligence supposed to be marked by suffering?

Some people sha. Drop a congratulations and leave, they wont

Where is the sense in this thing you just said now?

Trying to dim somebody else's light wont make your own shine brighter, hope you know that

I'm so shocked as i'm coming from a post where this dimwit was lamenting it's inability to bag a First class. What a hypocrite.

abuhusna1:

Lol u for know say Na per month I Wan write Na and he can make that 800 when get direct Jon and not agency, also be ready to skip classes to make that chooo!

Lol! When I don dey consider relocation. I heard agencies pay higher though.

abuhusna1:

No think am say you wan work raise master money for Ireland oo. You can surely raise money for upkeep and housing. You only work 20hours per week which maximum u can make a week is 800-900 and accommodation will take 500,transport 100, feeding of u Sabi manage 100.how much remain. Abeg let them be ready back home to help you till u fi nish or choose another school that will give u master direct

Abeg where them dey make upto 800 euros per week on 20 hours in Ireland? That's roughly 40 euros per hour. You guys seem to be balling in Dublin.

MoIbrahim:
This is not reasonable? You prefer they talk about laziness abi

I guess he'll prefer more Tacha related news. Intellectually lazy Nigerian youth.

Endtimebro:
What an End time mess
If u know u smile or laughed after reading this lemme see u

I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my eyes . This is just hilarious abeg.

festacman:
Kenyan Parliament looks a bit of circus of late with some funny events: a male MP slapped female MP with fellow males cheering him on, a female member attended plenary session with a suckling baby and had to be escorted out, now at a regional parliament, a member released an atomic bomb of stinking fart that sent members scrambling for fresh air in order to stay alive.

Certainly, Kenyan parliamentarians are making their Nigerian counterparts look CLASSY and PROFESSIONAL.

Silin:


Hi Mizchidi, pls kindly respond. Lets connect please.

Thank you.

Hi Silin,

I deactivated that account and presently use this. Haven't been here in a while as last minute dissertation rush is mad. Are you in Limerick now? You could send a DM.

Cheers!

SageMK:
That job comes with a psychological price tag.

Bro if you accept it, you will be burdened by a sense of obligation. So the question is will you succumb or not?

Whatever you decide, don't marry out of obligation.
And If you take the job, don't be too comfortable.

Have a plan B.

Well said.
