Please if schools say average GPA is 3.5 and you have 3.4 does that mean you are not qualify for admission?
3.5 over what? you have 3.4 over what? There are two grade systems, the one we use in Nigeria and the one the US uses. You can use WES conversion to convert to the 4.0 scale

Good morning guys,

I’m new here and I want to apply to a school in USA that offers safety engineering with full time scholarship. And that doesn’t require IELTS or GRE.

Thanks guys.
You are looking for full funding yet you don't want to write any standardized exam. At least make an effort na. You don't even want to make any effort to differentiate yourself from other candidates.

All I can say is good morning.
RomanceRe: Do I Go Ahead With My Plans for Her? by Cocao(f): 7:57pm On Dec 09, 2019
How else do I have to say this,

It is not your place to determine for her, her fate or to build her up. You just merely met, you don't even know her well, with zero future plans, yet you are already doing so much. Honestly you have a good heart, but the thing is that it might backfire in ways you don't expect.

You should have gotten to know her better and find ways to support her instead. Well, happy married life. You just got a wife

Dean Koontz made this list. I have loved his works since wayy back. Stephen King can make one shiver and dream bad dreams but Dean just had a way to make one feel good about horror. I agree with this list

I want to reschedule my GRE to another date, can anybody help me do it at a lesser amount than the 50$ on the ETS website?
Nope it can't be lesser. Just count it as one of those things.

Hello Nairaland.

The denial rate is too enormous in this month of November, I want to believe there is something fishing.
I totally agree with you. It's been denial back and forth on nairaland. Or is it because it's spring?

Hello guys ,
Please it’s urgent. I want to confirm if the bank needs to send a soft copy of my financial statement to the embassy before my interview. The account officer is saying they need to forward the soft copy to the embassy and I have never heard of such anywhere. Is it true ? Who knows anything about this please
With Access Bank, request that the statement be printed specifically in a portal meant for printing bank statements. It helps to reduce the time spent on confirming the authenticity of the statement. Dunno about other banks. That's probably what the account officer meant.
TravelRe: The Truth Many Nairalanders Don't Want To Discuss About Traveling To Hustle! by Cocao(f): 8:04pm On Nov 28, 2019
The reason why a lot of people find it difficult to truly settle abroad is that they came with the wrong intentions. You get a tourist visa, then purposefully fall out of status and start running helter-skelter because you can't rest. Why would you want to do that to yourself?

Alternatively, you can get a study visa if you put your mind to it, become a professional and the country will be willing to offer you a place to stay. There are various options available for that. You can go through plenty of scholarships available and from there sort yourself. You just need to be ready for the opportunity. Let your sponsor give you the funds or hustle it, write standardized tests, make Google your friend and you will surely see something that fits.

I wish you luck in whatever decision you make

Am coming in from Lagos. I want to go with GIGM(God is good Motors) and they have difft parks, Zuba, kubwa, utako. I was just thinking of the best way to go round it.

Thank you for your help
Someone suggested optimal hotel. Stop at Utako, use Uber or taxify to get there. Check in and prepare yourself for the interview. All the best.

Good morning everyone,I really appreciate y’all for the helpful tips you’ve been posting but then I have two questions to ask
- the reciprocal fee,must I take it to the embassy?
- what are the documents I must take to th embassy

Please I want contributions,thanks �
Yes, you must take the reciprocity fee to the embassy. What are you thinking by asking that question?

Take all the documents that will establish you as a genuine candidate. And your intention to return.
FamilyRe: How Can I Stop Helping My Cousin Without Feeling Guilty About Her Kids? by Cocao(f): 12:34pm On Nov 26, 2019
While I'd advise you to say no when you can, those kids though, they did nothing to deserve the wrong decisions made by their parents.

If you really want to and if you can help, help the children and help them directly. Your cousin and her husband are lost however, but make sure the kids don't pick up on their dirty habits.

Please think carefully.
FamilyRe: Should Working Class Wives Be Given 'Upkeep'? by Cocao(f): 3:11pm On Nov 02, 2019
Not upkeep per say,

Women want gifts, thoughtful presents, surprises and acts of kindness.

Even if there is explicitly no upkeep, I think any working class woman will still be content if you do the above for her constantly. Just dedicate a part of your income to it if you may
EducationRe: UNILAG, Why Is There A Long Delay In Getting Our Academic Transcript? by Cocao(f): 8:54pm On Oct 22, 2019
It's this bad?

Wow... They need to outsource the department to the same people that handle UNN transcript requests. So prompt and easy to use. Now they also offer softcopy transcripts emailed from the school's official email at a very much subsidized price.

UNN may not have gotten everything right but they sure try for this one

BusinessRe: CBN Grants Banks’ Approval To Debit Loan Defaulters by Cocao(f):
davodyguy:
This is very wrong.

Yes, its to fight NPL, but all loans should be collateralized at the same amount borrowed.
Hence, when there's a default, the collateral can be foreclosed. This is why we have legal mortgage
Collecting collaterals will not work for all classes of loans. Collaterals in this case is also very dicey.

Moreover, CBN also debited banks for not giving out enough loans recently. I think in this light CBN should protect the banks' position by giving them this right.

The truth is that the OP has already decided what to do, there is no comment here that can change his mind.

He is only asking for how to tell her.

OP, you already know you won't marry her, for everyday you keep smiling with her, it gets harder. I can only imagine the pain she will go through. Please let her know ASAP so she can hurt, heal and replace you

I dare say that a considerable number of your 'working' marriages are not quite happy--

The food however should be sweet-- hence the emotional love, 'romance.'
Spice the 'Food' with the 'Maggi' and you will have the euphoria and stability you need in a marriage.
Who are you and how are you so wise?

Forget about reasons, reasons are as cheap as water for these corporate organizations. If he is one important personality, they would have opened the account immediately after the Letter Of Administration. Do you know what the LOA means concerning the estate of a deceased person? Whoever has the LOA in possession has the exclusive authority to administer such estate, unless someone else is challenging the LOA by filing for a Caveat.
I know what LOA means very well. There are other process related issues why an estate account may not be opened. That is why I want tot know why, so we can know the advise to give her.

Yes I submitted the LOA and Death Certificate to the bank, filled the form for the said account. They even said that they have done the search to confirm the authenticity of those documents and found them to be true copies. But the reason they have refused to open that account is what I don't know.
You cannot come out and say you do not know the reasons they gave you. That is the only way you can get help. Go back and listen to the reasons why the account has not been opened. Update your post here and we can advise accordingly. Your post is very vague and misleading.
