That's a fabricated story.

jeff1607:



And to think a literate like you knows that only a young nurse can manage a clinic.



oh after reading your previous topic, you need help plus sense

Looks like you have a mental problem. Vagabond!!

Ishilove:

Good luck in your search. Also take it to God in prayer.

Thanks man.

My ex-gf made me never to trust any woman on this Earth. But all in all, I give God the glory for not marrying a wrong person.

Truvel:
I Don't Really Want Pretty Women Because Pretty Women Av A Lot Of Flaws, Lol. Requirements Sounds Funny To Me. It's Like Someone Who Wants To Employ A Nurse In A Hospital.

Yes, pretty women have a lot of flaws. But lots of men don't realize that.

Ishilove:
Op, the same Nigerian women? https://www.nairaland.com/6062243/nigerian-women-cheaters

Just want to give it one last shot.

fati2001:

hmm, mind reading

The dude does not reason well.

jeff1607:
wanna use her profession to get out of the country?

No Sir. I want to build a clinic so she can manage it when I'm not around.

Stop thinking like an illiterate.

fati2001:

may you find the nurse you are seeking for!

Thank you.

iLegendd:
He has been Layconed. When a man is Layconed, the man has been ignored with silence. Layconning people really hurts. They feel stupid and ignored and they begin to rant and abuse like Erica.

Hahahaha. You crack me up here.
My friend, pretty women have flaws too.

fati2001:

I'm asking because of ur topics about Nigeria girls.

Stop asking. I need a nurse.

fati2001:

are still searching for Nigeria girls?

lol..you crack me up.

He can't.

I need a nurse for a serious relationship that would possibly lead to marriage.

Requirements;
A university graduate.
Majored in nursing.
She must be good and responsible.
Not necessarily pretty. I don't really want a pretty woman because pretty women have a lot of flaws. I also do not want a cheat.
Above average in height.
At least four to five years work experience.
Less than 30 years in terms of age.

PM me if you can.

OP, stop playing the victim card, also your girlfriend. Both of you don't really love each other. You're just silly, infatuated and infantile.

Not sure how much help I can offer, but I'll just run through my journey.
Got a job in the UK so needed the IELTS as 'proof of English' for my visa application (also want to try to do an M.Sc. while I'm there).
Was told I needed to pass at/above B1 level (band 4.0) in each section for the job, but found out I would need to pass at/above C1 level (band 7.0) in each section for top grad schools. Also needed the result pretty urgently so I didn't have the option of spending a lot of time to prepare (had 4 days between when I knew I needed the IELTS and when I took the test).

- I created an account, booked a test and paid online at the British Council site - https://ieltsukviregistration.britishcouncil.org

- Read everything on the first couple of pages of this thread, then did same for the last couple of pages. After this, I had a general idea of the IELTS exam structure and the typical problem areas for most candidates (didn't know anything about the IELTS before this).

- Ran through the practice tests on the IELTS Prep App and the challenges on the IELTS Word Power app. I prepared for and took the SATs when I was younger so I found most of the IELTS stuff relatively easy. Also, writing is a hobby for me so I felt pretty confident of my abilities in that section even though statistics from here showed it was the main problem area for candidates.

- My Mistakes on Test Day
Speaking
I wasn't very audible and I talked too fast (which is a general problem I have). The interviewer stopped me twice to tell me to be more audible. If I had been louder, slower and tried to articulate my words more clearly, I would probably have done much better. One disadvantage of not prepping adequately is you don't realize your weaknesses till test day (or you don't even realize you have those weaknesses). So, you should definitely practice much better than I did.
Listening
I got distracted at the beginning of this section. My eraser fell off the table and I (by reflex) bent down to pick it up. By the time I got back up, I realized I had missed some things and just couldn't remember what they were no matter how hard I tried. Probably missed the first two or three questions here which is why I got the 8.5. It's pretty straightforward to get a 9.0 in this section if you listen very attentively and you don't get put off by the accent of the speaker.
Reading
This was a perfect section for me. My background prep for the SATs definitely helped here. My main advice is to forget everything you know about the topic you're reading and focus on what is actually in the passage. If it is not in the passage, it does not exist. Don't get carried away and start providing answers based on your own background knowledge. Only provide answers based on what you read. See below example:
Passage - "Frogs live in swampy habitats and can lay hundreds of eggs each spawning season. Frogs exist in a variety of colors."
Statement - Frogs are green in color
Options - (a) True (b) False (c) Unknown
The correct answer to the above is (c). It's easy to lose concentration and just choose (a) because we generally know frogs to be green in color (especially when you don't have a lot of time), but the passage does not explicitly say this, so that piece of knowledge simply does not exist. The passage also does not explicitly say that frogs are not green in color, so that piece of knowledge also does not exist.
I think it's possible to get a 9.0 here too if you practice well enough and get used to the types of questions asked.
Writing
I was pretty exhausted by the time we got to this section. I didn't have breakfast before my test that morning, a rather foolish decision in retrospect. I also didn't bring a drink along. You definitely should not come for the test on an empty stomach. You should also bring along an energy drink. Don't underestimate just how much energy this test will sap from you. In the end, I finished both write-ups with about 5-10 minutes to spare (writing is my thing) and was completely drained. If I wasn't so exhausted afterwards, I would have gone through both write-ups and substituted some of the more common words for less well-known synonyms. That would definitely have taken me closer to 9.0. So, for writing, the more esoteric the word, the better. Just be sure that you're using the words properly or you'll actually be shooting yourself in the foot. The challenges on the IELTS Word Power app will get you familiar with some synonyms that should come in handy. Also, make sure to properly section your work with paragraphs. Each paragraph should put forward just one uniform idea, and should only contain sentences relating to that idea. Don't make your sentences too long. Each sentence should carry a single unit of thought and should be concise and straight to the point. Finally, don't mess up your punctuation. Practice your writing with these in mind.

- Got the online results about a week after the test. Still waiting for my hard-copy result certificate to be sent to me, and it's taking far too long in my opinion.

- Wish everyone all of the very best!

Great result. Congrats.

Good PM NLers.
I want to ask a question, which is; why do some NLers start their sentence with "am" instead of "I am"?

I am not fluent or perfect in English language, and I'm not trying to mock anybody. But I do get annoyed whenever I see supposed "graduates" starting their sentences with "am"

Thanks.

Modified.
"I am" is used in a declarative sentence. Eg. I am John.
"Am" is used in a interrogative sentence. Eg. Am I completely lacking in self discipline?

Lack of good education I suppose.

Sounds interesting.

One of Nigeria's biggest pet peeves is dishonesty. And that's why the country is in total shambles.

Nuttella:
No but I know a lot about nursing.

Alright then.

Nuttella:
Yes na. Bsc nursing graduates get Bns, RN, RM while school of nursing get only RN.

Are you a nurse?

Amotolongbo:
Nursing

A universal discipline unlike pharmacy whose Nigerian certificate won’t allow you to make professional practice in correct countries.

To practise as a pharmacist in UK, one will need a year course to convert one’s certificate known as OSPAP diploma certificate before the professional exam. Unlike nursing which one can even use Nigeria diploma in nursing to write the CBT

What do you do for a living?

goldensoul55:
Blame yourself for engaging a slayqueen that is still wearing transparent clothes to church

They often say they want a rich man, cute and so on. Yet, when they get one, they still cheat on.

One in my street has been bugging me for relationship. I just snubbed her.

Useless girls!

Most Nigerian women are now morally bankrupt.

Bunch of call girls!

MENTORCH:
With this kind of English, she might not need that ring.

Women are losers. Lots of single women right now.

Later on, they would go to church and pray for someone to marry them.

Mad people everywhere.

Good. Bitches aren't royal anymore.

Bunch of retardedd women.

dairykidd:


This man deserve 1 hour drilling. Just imagine the nonsense u typed there. You must have spittle dripping down the sides of ur mouth. I pity anyone who calls u a friend.






Stop talking like a fool.. there's a reason for checking on ur friend and bumping into her. Which other nonsense prayer u want disturb God with again. Thank God guys like u can never penetrate my circle. I hate weaklings

Thank you, my brother. You have said it all. You are someone's friend and you can't tell him the truth? That's how some Nigerians reason and that's why it's meaningless to allow some folks into your life.

Bunch of retardedd people.

Whiteball:
He's not aware yet and he's not on NL. Am thinking of talking to d lady to stop that nonsense if she truly wanna marry my friend. I dont know what my friend will do if he gets to know

You still want to talk to the lady to stop what? Do not let that lady turn it against you.

Mine cheated on me even when I wanted to marry her but I acted like a man and called it quits.

The funniest thing is I turned down other women because of the babe, thinking I was with the right person.

When I said Nigerian girls are morally bankrupt, folks thought I was crazy.

Similar thing happened to me.

Your friend should thank his God.

OP, you needn't need to sell your property unless perhaps you are travelling abroad. And be careful of people you meet online so as to avoid robbery.

nedu666:


How can he be lgbo. Can't you see how desperate he is to announce he is lgbo. Show me which other poster indicated his tribe. Abeg dude has reported for work

Yes, he's an agent of darkness. That's why I asked him to stop quoting me.
