So what do you want Curve7 and Bold 5 users to do? Those fones hang more than they ring.

alt+shift+del resets bb. When it hangs you just need that combination of keys.

It's saddening that we live in a country where lives are not valued. What's equally worrying is the action of the police officials in handling related situations. I've not had firsthand experience, but I do not doubt the claims here against the police. I find it hard to imagine assailing someone and still be the good samaritan.

moyinoluwabun:
pls get d context to which he was running away.

What context? He wasn't running away. Dangote isn't the government of the country just because he's the richest on the continent.

moyinoluwabun:
Poor Dangote! Running away from Boko Haram back home and bn held hostage by another group of terrorist outside Nigeria. May God set him free.

It's easy for you to assume he's running away from BH but it's baseless. This is a businessman whose business takes him around the globe.

This is just sad and disheartening. The world is not just safe anymore. I just wish terrorism leaves the world.

This just shows a major discrepancy between africa and the west. I'm safe to say the BH attacks to date have not received the level of publicity attached to this singular atrocious act. It is no doubt that everyone is affected by the mainstream media. I'm sure that was the basis of his action, so no need to crucify him.

Anyone who has gotten should pls forward to sammyelgen11@yahoo.com. Thank you.

ojuola1:
ok. Detail was sent to your email address.

I'm interested. Sammyelgen11@yahoo.com

Why do people always associate the use of English with intelligence, English is just another language like french or german...there are excellent expatriates who knw nothing about the English Language and stl do well in their various fields......som ppl encountered english as a second language and dier native as a first...so cut dem some slack

I actually gave ur comment a like, but on the other hand, it still boils down to the bone of contention: a first class grad should be first class in all ramifications, even in the use of the language in which he/she was taught in all of his/her life, at least being coherent enough in writing.

The glittering state of all this wonderful structures just amazes me.

abatically:


Great isn't it? But trust me education is not cheap in advanced countries. The money u pay for the whole duration of a 5 year course in Nigeria is not enough to pay for 1 semester in those universities. So me I no dey complain because we still have a long way to go. Last time lasu school fees was increased and hell was let lose. Some universities abroad pay as much as $20,000 just for one session. That is a whopping 4.3 million Naira. Can we pay that in Nigeria?

Yea true. But the standard of living is relatively high in those countries and in a way makes up for that.

123gist:


Chooiiii....... those kind class wey them dey use one yansh sit-down still open umbrella incase of sun and rain! if u enta library text-books page no de ever de complete

lol...you really creased me up, but na which kyn uni yu attend na?

Wealthyone:
With any of d above, how book no go enta head

lol as same thing occurred to me, but then it doesn't work that way.

Centrix:


Bro, sorry for the delayed response. First off, I'm not a horse..lol (jokes nah). On a more serious note, the GRE is offered every month (in lagos, abuja, ph and benin). In most cases, fall admissions close in january so you have plenty of time to prepare (I actually wrote mine in january). You should inquire directly from the institutions you intend applying to about their deadlines so you know how to schedule your test.

Delayed ke...yu are a busy boss na. Thanks for the response.

DanjaNinja:


Bro, i know you are busy but its all about priority management. If studying abroad is a priority to you, you will make time for it. Study your daily schedule and figure out how to cut out time for studies and applications. Trust me, you will find the time. It might not be much, but you will find the time.

Are you applying for Fall 2016? If thats the case, i think you should know you barely have enough time to prepare. You have to find schools, take the GRE and TOEFL, get letters of recommendations from professors or lecturers, apply for your transcript and source for funding. This will take some considerable amount of time to accomplish. So start now ASAP!

Lastly, let your mind by at ease for the GRE is written all year round. You can find dates for september and october. You just have to check the schedule.

Please find below sitting schedule for Lagos:

yea fall 2016. you've been of immense help. Thanks bro.

pennstate:


If you have the money and four hours daily. You can visit mangoosh.com to register for a month plan.

Thanks boss. I'm grateful.

DanjaNinja:


Are you a Uniport alumni?

DanjaNinja, you've done a great job so far and may God reward you bountifully. I intend taking the test this august so as to apply for the fall admission opening by september or thereabout of this year, but I'm not prepared. Infact, I havnt started preparation and I think it's late already to start. The issue is I'm a corps member, and I really don't have that time to dedicate to preparing for d test, considering my ppa. Please could you advice me if it's plausible to still go ahead with preparation, thereby writing the test by august. Any general advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Centrix:
So Danjaninja has asked that I contribute to this thread. I wrote the GREs in January of this year, started preparing a few months prior to my test date.

Quant Section:
The Barron’s GRE book was everything and more. The author assumes you have little to no knowledge of the actual GRE test material so it introduces the test taker to basic principles of fundamental mathematics. I started off by taking the Practice test at the back of the book to identify my weak areas after which I read the entire math section paying close attention to my not-too-strong areas.

The next stage of my quant practice was downloading and taking the first practice test on the GRE powerprep software provided by ETS on its website. I scored a 160! Danjaninja may not agree with me on this, but I feel that how well you do on those powerprep tests reflects how you’d perform on the actual test give or take a mark or two. So you can imagine my excitement. Lol

Next, I downloaded Princeton Review’s “1014 practice questions”. I started off by taking the skills test at the beginning of the book. I got scared because I didn’t perform as well as I thought I would given my performance on the ETS powerprep tests. So I got practicing again. Solved as many questions as I could section by section. It didn’t matter whether I was comfortable with the topic I was spending time on, I simply did as much as I could.

Later, I moved on to Manhatan’s “ 5lb book of GRE Practice Problems”. At this point, I must mention that if you want to ace the quant section, you HAVE to solve as many practice problems as you possibly can. It boosts your confidence on test day.

Anyway, about two weeks to my test date, I took the second powerprep test. Scored a 162!.

NOTE: It’s always important you time yourself whenever you solve practice questions. Give yourself a minute and a half or two minutes max to solve each question. If you’re experiencing difficulties solving any question, move on to the next. You can always come back later.

Actual Quant Score on test day: 161 (80th percentile)

Verbal:
The first step to acing the verbal section is expanding your vocabulary. Again, the Barron’s book comes in handy. There are hundreds of GRE- type words listed at the end of the verbal section. Learn (or memorize, which ever suits you best) as many as you can, paying special attention to those that frequently appear on the test.

After about a month of intensive cramming (lol), I took the first powerprep practice, scored an abysmal 153! lol

What I’ve learnt is that it’s not about the number of words you know, but how well you can use them in the right contexts. That’s where Manhattan’s “5lb book of GRE Practice Problems” comes in. You have enough Reading Comprehension and Sentence Completion questions to practice with and because Manhattan’s problems are a lot more difficult than any question you’d encounter on the actual test, it’s a good way to beef up your skills.

About two weeks to the actual test, I took the second ETS powerprep test and scored 159 which to be honest was good enough for me as my intended graduate program is more quant-based.

Actual Verbal Score on test day: 161 (87th percentile)

Total Score: 322

Essays:
To be honest, I never practiced writing essays not because I was confident in my essay writing abilities but because I simply had no time. This is where a good private secondary education comes in handy(lol..i kid). Anyway, a night before the test, I read a few Manhattan sample essays while trying to imagine possible topics.

If you’re drawing a blank on any topic on test day, just think of as many examples as you can on the topic and get writing. Anything is better than nothing!

Score: 4.5 (80th percentile)

I hope this helps someone out there. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Peace

I'm impressed with the guide and your scores on the test. You really aced it. I intend taking the test this august so as to apply for the fall admission opening by september or thereabout of this year, but I'm not prepared. Infact, I havnt started preparation and I think it's late already to start. The problem is I'm a corps member, and I really don't have that time to dedicate to preparing fr d test, considering my ppa. Please could you tell me the other months in which the test is being written aside Jan and Aug; I just want to hear from d horse's mouth. Any advice from you concerning my situation will be appreciated. Thank you.

As much as I'd want to say 'bravo, you did the right thing', I'd want to quickly point out that it's cos your hubby's financial status can conveniently sustain the family, otherwise you'd have a rethink and a different perspective to the 'choosing'.
Most people would actually infact continue under the guise that they're doing it cos they love their family.
Making the 'right' decisions sometimes doesn't translate into doing the 'right' thing.

Yeah true, but the right decision is always the right thing if it's divinely motivated.

Dont be baffled!

It is called "Herd Mentality".

have you ever seen a hundred sheep being driven along by a small Fulani Boy with a small stick?
Did you ever wonder why all the Sheep still "follow" his command?

All the Boy has to do, is pay attention to the "Alpha Sheep" and all others (Herd) will FOLLOW that other Sheep!

Ibos have that mentality mostly.
Yorubas generally always "tackle" each other!


Lastpage!

Herd mentality indeed! Albeit, I reason with that. What else could possibly explain it!

Rose2014:

When u talk about SW you mean Lagos right?
All tribes in Nigeria contribute to Lagos revenue. Yoruba contribution may be insignificant sef

Well except if 'owoda' and 'Agbero' are put into consideration

I'm just thinking how you keep getting the few likes and shares. It just baffles me.

20yrs old girl is not too big to be punished and beaten black and blue. i can deal with anybody. i understand you sha.

You must be a tough guy. A twenty-year-old girl is mature enough, and you'd have worsen d situation if yu had beaten her black and blue or whatever color you beat people. Dialogue with her and make her see reasons why she shouldn't. But den yu indulge in such act. Change yourself bro; directly or indirectly, you affect d ones around you like ur sister.
