ryd3: Love ur growing sense of independence, but its a matter of capacity. If u feel u are up to the task financially , then the more pride ur parents wld av for u. But of u don't av a clue where u gonna get finances, then its better u look at this as a longterm investment ur parents are making. I'm 27, and an aunt is helping to subsidise mine. Your goal is paramount... The end will in most cases justify the means.

kofsy: Lol! He's not my hubby jor... I'm not married (he's my aunt's hubby). From my own perspective, I think a man's wife should be his next of kin. But my aunt is fighting for her space in the home. God forbid, if anything happens to the hubby, his family may come and chase her out and start claiming properties. And with his kind of family I know they can do it cos they don't like my aunt they never wanted their son to marry her cos she's a christian and they are muslims. Even my family didn't want my aunt to marry the guy, but she insisted. Sincerely, I'm scared of these muslims o, they can do and undo when it comes to fighting over a
dead man's property; especially when they don't like the wife.

goodman3: @op its either ure not passionate about medicine or ure just unlucky to be a poor doc in naija. I sense envy and jealousy in some posts here! An average doc in naija can amass a total income of 300,000naira every month. Some weeks ago, when I went to a state owned general hospital, I noticed that doctors there resume work at 8:am every morning and close work at 12:pm in the afternoon. Many of these doctors also have jobs in a federal teaching hospital in the same state and resume work there at 1:pm and close for work around 6:pm. Imagine the salaries from the two places every month. Its no wonder why medical students who are doing housemanship in teaching hospitals dangle car keys here and there because they make at least 160,000 naira every month. Also talk about the pay they get during nysc which is almost six times the pay of other youth corpers. Now when u talk about prestige, medicine is a course that will retain its prestige for ages to come. That's why most girls are crazy for young docs (whether handsome or not). Parents want their children to study the prestigious MEDICINE, doctors command respect wherever they find themselves! The advantages of becoming a doctor are just too numerous. So if u try to downgrade or insult doctors here, it is either u could not get admission into any medical school,u have lost ur babe to a doc,ure not as rich and comfortable as docs or ure just bitter that they are above u in terms of career and other things! I have notting against you nor the doctors. but i doubt if you really know enough doctors in Nigeria to come at that conclusion.

#team docs!

adeaugustus: Obviously Medicine is not for the faint hearted. The issue with most of this so called doctor is that, they actually went after the money and the prestige, while i consider that part of the reason why you should study medicine, believe me, it's not a good reason to study the course. Here is a break down of why you shouldn't study medicine because of prestige.

Average you spend 6years as an undergraduate(Neglecting strike, withdrawal of licence by NUC, flunking exams)

Compared to your counterpart that spends 4/5 years in the university, after which he/she enrolled for a master degree, 2years maximum. Making 6/7 years altogether.

Medicine is a time wasting course, most of them do have beards before they actually claim the title. I also wanted medicine before, but couldn't get it. When i got admitted for Medical Sciences and i realized that my field is a little bit more interesting than medicine, I've asked my self several times, "Why on earth did i waste four years runner after that course initially?"

Gracious10: Ur comment is just appalling! Sorry ooo... Ndo!

Really, No jobless man is entitled to a wife! Same way no woman who lacks good xter is entitled to a husband. How can the man take care of a family if he's got no job? Gettin a job should be a priority before marriage...That's just common sense. Any responsible man knows that!!

Dipwater: And so f/ucking what ,u can't decide for ur yunger sis,if she wants to marry a jobless man based on love. So!

Must they buy ring what if they decide to do trad marriage for starters

Am not disputing the importance of money in anything u do in life but it shuldnt be the foundation of a succesful marriage ,its one of the factors . attraction comes first ,on that love can be built

Thanks

sammy102: If the man of God really said all that...well I guess he is just giving an advise to the youth so they won't end up being deceived by some useless liars out there.

iykak47: Oh! fanaticism in my beloved religion, even pastor Adeboye who is seen as a role model by many is encouraging division of Christendom. Could this be as a result of old age?

tunde300us: There is no source for this news except an hear say from someone who is re-reporting something he heard.And even if the news was true then what is the big deal there.If ur junior sister introduces you to a jobless man and says they are getting married next month abeg where will the money comes from ? because i read someone here say love is based on love not money (that is when you are dating)but when it is approaching the critical part of marriage OGA and AUNTY pls marry a jobless man,na u go buy the marriage ring sef

perekeme flint: bros,there was no phone call nor email to my bank from what the bank told me.then they bank has written including all their contact details in the letter and have already submitted for the admin review hoping luck smiles on me.thanks

Dapto: Bro,so sorry about the refusal.But it seems d Micro-finance bank u used didn't place you in a good stead with ECO hence,he has to call to verify and not being to established d contact with bank 'nailed d coffin' on your case.Pls,next time use d normal commeercial banks we have around,at least d ECO's are very used to them since they come in contact wit loads of bank statements coming from this banks.AS per d review,u can give it a try and who knows,u may end up smiling once again.

All d best!

ell77: This post is not for advice but rather for accommodation assistance.

However, I admire your ambition and as with most students I advise I will direct you as best as I can.

First of all, there is no guarantee it will take you 3 years to complete the PhD element of your program, unfortunately it could take longer, or there is the possibility of it taking only two years.

Now about the job, it is difficult to work whilst doing a PhD. If you plan to work there are three routes you could take
A) Work from as soon as you enter the UK even if you are being sponsored and save every penny possible to ensure you do not need to work as long during the PhD.
B) Concentrate on achieving the greatest grade possible by focusing purely on your studies and doing no work so that you qualify for a scholarship based on academic merit and thereby need to work less during your studies.
C) Tutor Bachelors students whilst doing your PhD, teach university classes for discounts on tuition fees.

In short
A = To make enough money you have to work long hours and this could affect your grade, some PhD's require certain grade scores to qualify (although others focus more on your proposal and school fees)
B = No guarantee you will get the scholarship, but many do and because you are an international student you will still need money for living expenses as the scholarship will get eaten up by your tuition fees
C = Difficult to get the students and depends on your uni if you can teach classes but good money if you can so you wont need to work as long hours.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS, enquire at your uni the options for all three.

christ4mi: Some children will be happy here one this one sided forum, why can't u see we are fighting a War. If we appear united (Muslims + Xtians) in front of our common foe Boko Haram, will actually weaken them. Let's stop the blaming games, It Clear Boko Haram is fighting muslims as well. Wake up pple

honey86: Congratulations. Air France and klm are the cheapest at d moment.

honey86: I will be leaving on the 10th. Though I've not booked my ticket. But its going to be between qatar, air France and klm.
