I had covid symptoms days after I left the beach �
But it left after few days on its own without using anything
Makes me thing the virus � isn’t really dangerous as it is hyped

I am sure you are not up to 30 years of age & if you are, you are not up to 35 years. So therefore, the chances you are suffering from diabetes, high BP, serious diseases or any middle or old age related ailment is low. Hence your body was able to fight off the covid symptoms without any medication as a result of your balanced immune system normal for your age.

For people that are suffering from the ailments listed above and several other illnesses. If covid manages to infiltrate their bodies, their immune system which is not as strong as yours might not be able to protect their bodies thereby causing death.

Covid in it self is not deadly but when someone with an underlying medical condition contracts it, he/she might not survive it as a result of a weak immune system.

Just because you survived it, majority of Nigerians (Nigeria has a huge young population) survive it doesn't mean it's not deadly. I believe you now have an understanding why you survived it and some might not.

I wonder o.. Maybe they are under American Police not Nigerian Police.

African man is crazy but never this crazy. I am not surprised that they did not kill him. They hardly do that to white men. Most of the mass killers come with their mass killer gene.

The most important qualification to become police officers.

You sha wan hype us sha!!

Who tell you say African men are not crazy?? The issue is not the skin colour but the presence of guns. Give a man a gun, annoy him a little and watch if he wont use the gun or not.

Do you know how many black men have killed their partners over a little issue and are serving life or waiting for their execution likewise white men?? Forget skin colour, the motive is what usually determines the sentence.

@ Arinze01

See as i dey look you with side eye.. Do not be deceived!! Thats not the final statistics for 2020.

How can just 8 people apply out of the usual number of thousands?? The data will be coming out little by little as the schools just reopened. Also dont forget that this year is a peculiar year as a result of the corona virus. Many students may not be able to make it down to Norway until beginning of second semester. Some schools have announced first semester will be taken online. Therefore the data on those that met for studies will definitely be impacted.

Year 2020 final statistics should be updated in November. In the mean time, work with the years preceeding 2020.

@ Dumebi213, Arinze01 and fellow prospective applicants. Check the statistics for higher education in Norway including the number of applicants for your interested courses, number of people offered admission and other statistics at https://dbh.nsd.uib.no/ (use on chrome browser so it can be translated to english)

Hope this valuable information helps you have an idea of the acceptance rate of your interested courses.

Do not let the number of applicants and acceptance rate dampen your spirit. Also, do not forget that not everyone granted admission eventually accepts the admission therefore you definitely stand a chance in your choice course.

As Arinze01 earlier said, no one here has a say or can predict application outcome. Just apply to all schools that matches your bsc requirements and hope for the best. You should be amongst the lucky ones granted admission.

All the best guys...

I did biochemistry first degree,
I want to apply for public health or global health

But if that will be very competitive I don't mind going for biotechnology or biochemistry msc.

According to the statistics,

For Public Health @ NTNU in 2018 - 491 people applied, 105 was offered admission, 75 accepted while only 60 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 359 people applied, 55 was offered admission, 50 accepted while only 40 met for the start of studies.

For Global Health in 2018 - 431 people applied, 40 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 537 people applied, 65 was offered admission, 40 accepted while only 25 met for the start of studies.

For Global Health @ University of Bergen in 2017 - 540 people applied, 55 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2018 - 754 people applied, 60 was offered admission, 35 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 613 people applied, 70 was offered admission, 45 accepted while only 30 met for the start of studies.

For Biotechnology @ NTNU in 2017 - 251 people applied, 25 was offered admission, 15 accepted while only 15 met for the start of studies. In 2018 - 336 people applied, 40 was offered admission, 20 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies. In 2019 - 438 people applied, 35 was offered admission, 25 accepted while only 20 met for the start of studies.

@ Dumebi213 and Arinze01, Norway too has where you can check. The data is public knowledge.

@ Dumebi213

I was going to let him know that. He should not get too excited about selecting a "yeye course."

@ trinityconcept, what do you originally plan on studying and not your "yeye course" backup program?? Let me help you find out how many other applicants you may likely be competing against.

@ amaka157

A friend of mine moved from Oslo to the U.K then finally to Canada after his Msc. I think the exposure they get in Norge coupled with the education opens more doors for someone.

I think people leave Norge to Canada because of the great economy, how immigration friendly they and also no language barrier.

trinityconcept:
Pls what advice do you have for someone with a relatively low cgpa 3.08


Will going for a pgd here enhance my chances of getting masters?

Most schools request for a 2.1 and above because of the competitiveness of getting admission in some of their programmes.

But dont be scared. Even with a 1.0 gp (i am obviously joking) you can gain admission to some programmes e.g Bsc/Mc English, Bsc/Msc Primary School Teacher and some other courses that do not get too many applicants. While with 3.08, you definitely will not get into Psychology, Aviation, some serious engineering courses and other most sought after courses.

Ultimately, you gaining admission depends on the number of applicants also seeking for a place in that same programme/school. With your 3.08 you may not stand a chance and also with your 3.08, you should be admitted to a programme. It all depends on the number you are competing with for a place.

Adex2442:
If I Wan to apply to bachelor prog with hnd, what level will I start from??

Do they accept pgd for masters?

If you want to apply for Bsc with HND, I believe you will start from Year 1. I dont think it's like Nigeria whereby you can gain admission to Bsc thru Direct Entry with your HND.

Secondly, I also believe they do not accept PGD for masters. I have read through their education system from A -Z and there is no where I saw Bsc top-up programme (PGD) being mentioned.

All I have said above is mere speculation. Mail the admission officers of the programmes you are interested in so they can clear all your doubt.

Adex2442:
Thanks bro. All these schools are the tuition free?

And will they take an hnd holder?

All public schools (state colleges and universities) are tuition free though you pay a small token for department stuffs while private universities charge tuition.

You cannot use hnd to appy for Masters. Its only acceptable if you want to apply for a bachelor programme.

Nigerian bloggers sef, first 7 paragraph of this OP is the same thing in different ways

The stuff gave me headache.I am serious!

okay...i go vex on behalf of the guy

vexing no go clear the marks. e no go even solve anything.

johnkey:
your mom is stupid for considering marking those innocent twins face to be scarred for life, rubbish. and to that fake prophet na ogun go kill am, useless family na so my useless older cousin with her dead prophetess mark my face too that year in the absence of my mom.

I know your face is scarred for life but no vex abeg.

maybe the idiotic and incompetent police did not even tender the video. If the police did not tender the video during the case, the judge has to separate emotions from the case and act like she has never seen the video before in her life despite the video everywhere on the internet.

It is the job of the prosecution (police) to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the incident truly happened. Maybe the police did not do that.

Please I am very interested in studying in Norway but this www.studyinnorway.com is not loading I would appreciate if you could send me your email or Cell number ,Thank you

it's www.studyinnorway.no not www.studyinnorway.com.

Thanks Dumebi213.

@Dumebi213, please share the link where you downloaded the book called "på vei." I would like to check it out. Takk.

It has not been easy learning the language but we should all endeavour to at least learn the words required for everyday use.

As for me, i subscribed to the premium plan of www.Norwegianclass101.com in addition to several apps I use and they have all been helpful.

festacman:
Godswill Akpabio meant that some members of National Assembly are beneficiaries of NDDC contracts. Of course, he wasn't referring to the whole members of the House. And he wasn't lying because he benefited when he was PDP Minority Leader of the Senate.

He meant some members which meant not all members buy he painted it like majority of them.

He made that statement just for mischief purposes which was unbecoming of him.

I knew it will come down to him backtracking. Akpabio no try at all!

Dumebi213:
Hello, i'm new here

If this thread is still active please i would like assistance

I graduated with a 3.4 (2.2) in Zoology, what are my chances of getting admission for masters in a biology related course and what universities would you recommend for someone with a score like mine.

@Starflux or anyone

From what I observed, biology isn't a really hard course to gain admission into. Reason being that Supplementary admission to one year study courses, bachelor programmes and master courses were made open today for more applicants still interested in applying to Norwegian universities and I saw some biology programmes amongst the courses. Unfortunately I can't recall if it's a year study, bsc or MSC programme. Now the programme isn't on the site anymore as the study spaces have all been applied for.

Ultimately, follow Arinze01's advice and hope for the best.

Lastly, wait a while for them to release the number of total applicants and also successful applicants for courses you are interested in. From there, you can measure your chances.

GboyegaD:
They should have done a thorough investigation to make the work of the police easier. Is it an innocent act or a masterminded one? That would help put all these funny conspiracy theories to rest.

you think they wouldn't have done that with the media uproar. This detailed statement by the Air Force suggests they have done a detailed investigation.

mvem:
America till today has thousands of unsolved crimes

Even though the level of advancement in Nigeria leaves more to be desired, they think everything solves every crime.

I watch a lot of Investigation Discovery on dstv and I see many of their ordinary burglary and rape cases unsolved and thereby going cold.

Just so they know, Nigeria is not the worst!

Sirwifi:
Can one transfer to a university in Norway for an understanding course , please help a bro

what do you mean by "understanding course?"

They only transfer I believe is exchange program where you can study for a session/semester in a Norwegian university and then return to your university to complete your programme.

Arinze01:
Impressive! Congrats on your admission and stepping to a new level!!

With the covid-19 pandemic all country experiences, what has your school put in place vis-a-vis to resumption of 2020 academic session for international students?

Also,I understand one have to show a sum of #5m during the application process, if my sponsor at the moment has in his account #3m,is it possible to still get the admission letter. I still know I have to transfer #5m but during the application process can I show #3m.

Hope u understand the question?

do not attempt to put forward a bank statement of anything less than 5.2m. Make allowance for fluctuations in exchange rate. You and i know our naira is as unstable as nepa.

I read the experience of a guy on the swedish thread. If i remember, he made it a habit of withdrawing money from the account which went below the limit but he ensured he always transferred it back. The day the admission committee made enquires about the bank account, he had briefly drawn from the account prior to that day and had not transferred the money back. He was subsequently dropped from the admission list.

It will be a costly mistake to put forward a bank statement not having up to the required amount.

Arinze01:
Norway wants to kill us. Where people go c 123k Noks...


God will make a way,Amen!!!!!!!

Yes o, it has been increased in excess of 123k kroners from 121, 220 kroners.

I will advise you to get a sponsor who you will use his/her bank statement and then raise from family members so as to be able to transfer to the school when you are granted admission.

God go do am.

I will be applying for myself and my wife to Uis and Uit.

How much will an Acura tsx 2006 and Toyota Avalon 2007 cost?

Serious buyer!!!!

phlame:
Nigeria has more wealth than them

dnawah:
na wa o!probably Nigeria may be richer than themi

You two should stop deceiving yourselves/fantasizing. Nigeria is considered a poor country as we have been ranked at the bottom of several indices used to measure riches and wealth. Is it GDP, per capital income, mortality rate, (un)employment rate etc.

We cannot be called a rich country but a country with potentials but sadly, we aren't making use of our potentials.

Coming back to Qatar, currently, our population alone let's them beat us hands down. Our #180m population to their #1.7m. Why won't they have a per capital income of $67k to just $2k for ours. Of course they can afford to build lovely structures like this 10 times over with that. Our population which should be a blessing is having a negative effect and we are doing nothing to stem the tide.

I just thought to correct the erroneous impression you have about our so called wealth because indeed we are not wealthy but we can if we start doing things right. Sadly, we have a long way to go before we are considered rich/wealthy.

Weselion:
Nicely written.

FFT: At the end of the strike Action, the staffs still get paid. Who pays for the wasted years of students?

I'm aware government is trying to put measures in place that will ensure govt workers (lecturers, doctors etc) are not paid during strike actions.

Corruption reach every nook and cranny for this planet

Have you forgotten anywhere there are humans, there will always be corruption, cheating, lying, trying to game the system etc.

The difference between the magnitude of corruption is dependent on the systems and institutions on ground to checkmate it and where there is actually a case of corruption, the adequate punishment that will be dished out on the criminals nothwitstanding their standing in the society .

What makes Nigeria's own worst is the absence of a system that punishes offenders irrespective of their standing in the society.
