Wow you did so good. I know right. But Band 7 seems like a fair score for writing to aid your applications. I may be wrong. But you did good. Means your Task 2 would have been really strong.

It would have been good if not that I need it for express entry. I've decided to remark, fingers crossed that I get moved to 7.5 in writing.

okeofabiriba:
Thank you so much for the info. It's seems you did the computer based test? I wrote the paper test.

I too did not finish my task one but hopefully task 2 supplements for us because I believe it carries 60 percent weight while task 1 carries 30.

🙏🏿.

My result is out. That writing I didn't finish really did me in 😭
I am so pained. I'm considering remarking but scared that it might be a futile effort, especially knowing quite well that I did not finish.

okeofabiriba:
How was your exam? Did you write in Lagos on May 20 because I did too?

And anyone knows how long it takes for the result to be out and are we suppose to get a mail before that?

Yes, I wrote on the 20th. It was actually okay, although, I'm a little concerned about my writing because I did not finish task 1, and I need to max out my scores. Hopefully it will be fine.

Results come out three to five days after the test and a link will be sent to you to view your result. So I'll start checking my mail from Tuesday.

Was anyone here able to write using their phone? My younger sister does not have access to her laptop and she's supposed to write the test today.

Will writing on her phone give her issues?

Hello everyone, I booked my IELTS listening, reading, writing and speaking on the same date, 20th of May.

The first three are from 9am to 11:30am, while my speaking test is from 1:00pm to 1:20pm. I'm a bit worried that I the time the first batch ends is going to clash with the time the listening test begins.

Has anyone here booked their test like this, with the listening test coming up right after the other ones?

Omo! this reminds me of a faithful day I had taken my crush out for lunch.

It was a sunday evening and we had gone to this newly opened fast-food joint to chill - Bills on me!

When we got there, she ordered jollof rice, chicken and moi-moi, and so did i. We also had a pack of hollandia yogurt each to step down our meal.

I did a rough calculation of everything in my head and it summed up to about 10k. I had 15k with me so no problem.

So we were busy eating and chatting when I overheard a customer complaining with raised voice. He had just been served his bill and he couldn't hide his anger at the exorbitant cost of his meal.

"10k for a plate of moi-moi? wetin una put inside!!"? He barked

When I heard moi-moi, I turned to his direction.

"This is corr.uption!" He yelled "Ordinary moi-moi 10k!"

When I looked at his table, I realized his moi-moi was even the small size, meanwhile we ordered the jumbo size.

I called one of the waitresses.

"Nne, biko how much is the moi-moi?" I whispered to her ear

"25k sir" She snapped

"No, I mean just the moi-moi, not the total bill" I voiced

"That's what am saying, sir" She reiterated "This is the jumbo pack and it's 25k for one"

At that moment the moi-moi in my mouth began tasting like agidi.

"Bia Nne" I leaned towards my crush "Can you run?"

"Run? why?" She asked in a confused tone

"Just answer, Yes or No?"

"Okay, Yes I can run. What's the problem?"

"Very good. See, when you hear, on your mark.. set.. Go! You will run outside with speed and take left while I take right"

"Nnamdi, i understand what you are saying, running to where?"

"Nne shut up first! When you reach house, you'll understand"

What's your experience?

Ahn ahn! Brother! This your zobo sweet but softly na.

Geekop:
Hello Everyone.
Please I'm just starting with WES. It seems I will have to pay before sending my transcript. Is that how it is?
I also can't find where to upload my certificate.
Please help. Thanks

If you don't pay how do you want to get the WES reference number which you are to give to your school to include when sending your transcript?

Abi you get plenty money to send transcript twice?

Who has recently evaluated their Babcock undergraduate degree with WES?

Can you please summarize the steps taken. Does Babcock use ETX? Also how much did it cost you?

A friend of mine wants to evaluate his Babcock degree and he is confused as to the exact steps to take to prevent avoidable mistakes.

Lol, really! Why not go straight to jumia na, instead of coming here to ask. Like you said, you don't know much so let people guide you.

Now at that price point of 200k, you'll get a good USED pc that will surprise you. If you can add 30-50k you'll be surprised what you end up with.
I bought a laptop for a friend just this last thursday for 245k; Specs goes thus;

-HP ELITEBOOK X360 1030 G2 (2 in 1)
-Core i5-7300u
-256GB SSD Internal storage
-16 GB Ram (Speed 2133MHz)
-13.3 inches touch screen.

I believe the laptop could be cheaper if I had gotten it from someone like Rakiticbarca, Acekid109 etc.

In all, don't go for a pc with a score that is less than 3500 (the higher the better) on Cpu Benchmark, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD Internal storage etc.
You can explore the AMD processors too. They are a killer pass right now. Happy laptop hunting.

Thanks, this was helpful

People who chose CBT instead of paper based, is it allowed for one to have a pen and an empty sheet of paper with one during the writing module?

Can the computer/laptop experts help me out here?

I'm looking to enter UI/UX designing and I need a laptop. For some reasons I want to buy a brand new laptop not a used laptop, and my budget is ₦200k max. However, I don't know jack about laptops and their specs and I'm scared of buying one that won't be able to handle the work and would start lagging and freezing.

So please, I need suggestions from the gurus here

Hello, can the Unilag French course be used to write the TEF exam or would you advise one get a private tutor? I am already self-studying French but I want to go to physical classes to prepare for the exam.

Hi, I went through the Unilag HRDC Diploma in French and I will tell you that the best that programme can take you to is A2 and the least level you need to be at before attempting TEF is B2.

It was almost a waste of time and money for me because I was already at A2 level before I applied for the programme, thinking they were going to help me reach at least B1. On paper it seemed okay, but after starting the programme, other hidden expenses started popping up. We ended up paying more than double of what was advertised on the Unilag website. This wouldn't have been a problem except for the fact the programme taught me nothing I didn't already know.

I won't say I regretted it because some people I met there made the programme worth it, but if I were to do it all over again, I most likely would go for the advanced diploma in business administration like some people I knew went for. That one was more straightforward and even though both the biz admin and French programmes were supposed to run for 9 months, they were done long before we the French people were even halfway through.

Long story short, if you are thinking of the Unilag French programme, get yourself a private tutor or you can attend classes at IEF or Alliance Française. Personally, I prefer IEF classes.

According to Britannica, Valentine's Day, also called St. Valentine's Day, holiday (February 14) is a day when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts.

lovers express love with gift and greetings.
Why is it a one sided affair with Nigerians? Hardly will your see ladies giving gift and when they do, it is more likely to be inferior in value to what they expect and demand.

Because you are surrounded by broke people, the broke men are dating broke women.

In my office today, both men and women got val's day gifts, married and unmarried. My friends too gave gifts to their boyfriends. So change your circle and you'll see that it's not such a one-sided affair like you think.

tall2ce:
Please can anyone confirm if WES or ECA evaluates Unilag HRDC Advanced Business Administration Diploma or HR Diploma as a second degree.

Yes, I can confirm that they do.

Been expecting this. Which option/options do we have now?

Just saw this in my mail and came here to see if we have one last bank that allows naira cards. This sucks for real

Chinjo2:
These generation of wives have a lot to learn from our mothers who endured marriage for over 50 years and are still there. Out of sheer pride a d arrogance she has decided to deny these lovely kids fatherly attention. Ask her what happened now and she will never say she had fault.

This! This is the problem. Why should marriage be endured? Something that is supposed to be for life.

If one has to endure something for the rest of one's life, but the only way to happiness is simply leaving that thing, don't you think it wise for the person to leave?

How long you have to wait after medicals depends on a number of factors, outside my batch we have another batch in lag currently in their 3rd week. So its depends on the location you're applying n some other factors.
But don't tender resignation without official Training School mail. Congrats ahead.

I've received training school letter, thank you once again.

Have you gotten one? Where please, I'm also looking

Thank you, I'm in Lagos too and the mail I got said that training school will most likely start next week Monday. The exact word used was 'tentatively'.
I guess by the end of tomorrow I'd know if that date is still going to work.

ekomebeowo:
Just as a means of encouragement to some of you still applying. I remember how my account became inactive for a while, after writing test and all. I didn't hear from them in a long while, but i kept the faith. Weeeks later, i got mails to proceed. Well, TODAY will be our last day in Training School here in Lagos, and it's been an Awesome experience so far. I literally can't wait for the challenge ahead. So guys, don't lose hope easily, pray and also work on urself because in the middle of difficulty lies opportunities. Good luck Guys �

Congratulations, and thanks for the encouragement.

How long after your medicals did you get training school letter? I did my medicals on Saturday but nothing has been communicated to me since then. I'm hoping that it's because they are waiting for your batch to leave training school before looking at my batch.

My issue is that I have to give notice at my current job and I don't want to hand it in until I see that training school letter.

It's good she wants to sponsor your master's in the UK. But one thing you have to remember is that it's not just about doing your master's over there, you also have to make sure you study a relevant course to enable you get work visa sponsorship from companies after your degree.

So it won't be like after spending all that money for your master's, you'd come back to Nigeria and start hustling for jobs again. I'm saying this because of the course you want to go and study; mass communication. Except you have no intention of living there and you'd want to come back to Nigeria after your studies.

To me, if you want to spend that money in the UK, you might as well make it count, look for a good course that will help you get work sponsorship. If not it's better to stay in Nigeria and do that course in a good federal university.

I wonder why that is necessary. The way you guys attribute common human perseverance to things of the spirit and to Jesus, it just makes me wonder even if Jesus will be happy with this una behaviour sef.
