Bayer Leverkusen created a historic moment on April 14, 2024, clinching their maiden German Bundesliga championship with an impressive 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen.

Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has showcased exceptional form throughout the season, remaining unbeaten across all competitions.

Critical to their success are standout performers like Nigerian talents Nathan Tella and Victor Boniface.

Boniface notably netted the opening goal in the triumphant match against Bremen.

The German Bundesliga has notably welcomed Nigerian talents, with 42 players from Nigeria leaving their mark on the league's history. Among these luminaries are renowned figures like Austin Jay Jay Okocha and Sunday Oliseh.

Newspremises looks at the four Nigeria players to have won the Bundesliga title.

Pascal Ojigwe

Ojigwe was the first Nigerian to win the Bundesliga after playing a role in Kaiserslautern's 1997/98 season triumph. Although he made few appearances in that campaign, it was enough to earn him a medal.

Sunday Oliseh

The second Nigerian player to ever win the Bundesliga was Sunday Oliseh. The former Super Eagles captain had more impact in Dortmund's 2001/02 season success. Oliseh bossed the midfield for Dortmund in the early 2000s, making his one of the finest African players to ply their trade in Germany.

He is also one of the few Nigeria players with over 100 appearances in the Bundesliga.

Victor Boniface

The Super Eagles star was a real deal in his first season in Germany. Despite suffering an injury in the middle of the campaign, Boniface still managed to score 10 Bundesliga goals in 17 matches to lead Alonso's men to victory. He scored in his first Bundesliga start since recovery from injury as the new German champions walloped Werder Bremen.

Nathan Tella

Probably the most underrated Bayer Leverkusen player this season. The English-born Nigerian came up for the club in crucial moments, scoring very important goals leading to the team's success. He also joined the club last summer from Southampton FC.

The Islamic State terrorist group have threatened to launch an attack against the four stadiums hosting the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Al Azaim Foundation, a media channel that is responsible for spreading messages from the Islamic State (Daesh, ISIS), confirmed their intentions with a poster on Monday, April 8.

The foundation shared an image threatening to attack the Parc des Princes, the Santiago Bernabeu, the Metropolitan and the Emirates Stadium, with a message reading: 'Kill them all'.

The threat came shortly after the ISIS-affiliated media outlet Sarh al-Khilafah announced their plan to attack the fans who were at the Allianz Arena in Munich to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.


The Champions League fixtures scheduled to take place at the Parc des Princes, Santiago Bernabeu, Metropolitan and the Emirates Stadium are due to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to AS, the Spanish Government have activated their security procedures for the Champions League double-header this week.

It's believed more than 3,000 members of security have been assigned to the fixtures in Spain - Real Madrid vs Manchester City and Atletico vs Borussia Dortmund.

The Islamic State's last attack took place on March 22 at the Crocus City Hall - which is a large concert hall in Moscow, Russia.

Congratulations

Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has announced the birth of her first child with her younger boyfriend, Newspremises reports.

The movie star, took to her Instagram page to share a maternity photo as she announced the birth of her second child, a baby boy.

She revealed that two months ago, she and her boyfriend welcomed their son as she noted how people would be shocked by the news. However, God has finally done it for her.


Nkechi Blessing welcomes baby boy with boyfriend Xxssive
Nkechi promised to share her testimony and post the full testimony video on her YouTube channel.

In another post, she shared a photo of the newborn, who she described as her little miracle and expressed her love for.

“Two months ago @xxssive and I welcomed a bouncing baby boy…I know you are all shocked… But the lord has done it finally Coming back to share my testimony and I will be posting the full testimony video on my YouTube channel kindly click the link in my bio to subscribe and turn on post notifications.

Welcome my Lil prince. I will love and protect you with all my strength”.

However, it seems the actress is only pulling April Fool pranks on her fans.

Recall that Nkechi Blessing started dating Xxssive, whom she daily flaunted on her social media page, after her messy break-up with Ekiti State politician, Opeyemi Falegan.

Last month, Nkechi Blessing had sent a message to Warri, as her boo, Xxssive was set to trade them for her.

Taking to her Instagram page, the movie star revealed that her man had surprised her in grand style for 2024 International Women’s Day. She noted how she wasn’t expecting anything special on that day, but her man surprised her. She narrated how together with Royal Hugs Surprise, he pulled up on her in the night with the sweetest words written on a note and a very pretty dress in her favorite color.

Expressing her love for him, she prayed for guidance and provision in his life as she admonished Warri indigenes to relocate from their town.

Recently, Nkechi responded to those shaming her for dating younger men, as she shared a clip of her man surprising her with a bouquet and money. Captioning the video, Nkechi stated that this is why she goes for younger men because they stay winning.

She made her haters and critics know that she doesn’t care as she quoted a song by Boyspyce, which she added is the perfect answer for the noise makers.

Securing admission comes with a lot of pressure regarding acceptability and uncertainty about one’s level of knowledge required for admission. Alongside this pressure, there are also concerns about the validity of different documents. Indeed, what constitutes an acceptable cumulative result is a significant consideration.

Most schools in Canada offer funding for graduate studies. While the size of funding may vary and competition may depend on the type of school, you become eligible for funding once you are admitted. Since many schools rely on funding, faculties are funded, which is why they are part of the school. Therefore, with proper preparation and positioning, funding will be available once you are admitted.


It’s important to note that this writing primarily focuses on securing a graduate scholarship. While there are different opportunities for undergraduate students, they are not typically funded. This is because funding is often awarded with the expectation of being a teaching assistant. In essence, schools don’t simply provide “free money,” but instead, they often consider graduate students as part of the faculty (faculty meaning lecturer) in the department. This also explains why the admission process, especially for those seeking funding, is rigorous.

WORKABLE STRATEGIES

Various strategies are employed to secure a fully-funded scholarship. The strategies outlined below include making contact with a proposed supervisor, although some schools may not require this. It’s advisable to make contacts regardless, as it enhances communication and improves your chances of being accepted by the supervisor since you’ll be able to discuss more than just sending documents.

Having said that, here are the key strategies to consider for securing a fully funded scholarship in Canada:

Research or Good Grades Only?

There are often questions about the grade level or research required to qualify for a scholarship. This question goes beyond having good grades and research skills; it’s about understanding when and how both apply. Some students have excellent grades, such as a distinction or first-class, yet struggle to secure a scholarship. Similarly, some students have good research skills but lack good grades, making it difficult for them to obtain a scholarship.

To address this dilemma, it’s crucial to understand that various factors are considered in student selection for scholarships. These include the statement of purpose, transcript, resume, recommendations from past lecturers, writing samples, and sometimes English language requirements for certain countries. These factors are discussed in detail in the document section below.Generally, the required good grades for a scholarship are usually stated on the school’s website under funding and assistantship sections.

However, as a guideline, many schools require a minimum of 3.0/4.0 to qualify. If your school uses a 5.0 scale, you’ll typically need around 3.80/5.0 to be eligible for a scholarship.On the other hand, strong research skills are also necessary, demonstrated through writing samples and proficiency in relevant software in your field. It’s essential to excel in all required dimensions to increase your chances of success.

Finding High and Low-Ranked Schools:

Many applicants tend to focus solely on high-ranked schools, which can reduce their chances of receiving a scholarship due to intense competition. It’s important to strike a balance between top-tier and less competitive schools. For instance, if you’re applying to five schools, consider including three low-tier schools and two top-tier ones to increase your chances of admission. This strategic approach ensures you are positioned effectively.

Course Combinations in Undergraduate Studies:

Check the course requirements on the school’s website to ensure you meet the criteria for scholarships. Sometimes, focusing on areas of your course that are less common can increase your chances of being selected, even if your grades or skills are not exceptional in other areas.

Research Experience in Undergraduate Studies:

It’s beneficial to align your research interests with your undergraduate project work. Ensure that your chosen department offers specializations related to your projected topics at the time of application, as this can facilitate a smoother transition once admitted.

NECESSARY DOCUMENTS

Several documents are required for admission, and it’s important to ensure you submit the correct and best documents. Here are the essential documents:

Statement of Purpose:

This document is an opportunity to showcase yourself. It should summarize your past experiences, current activities, and future aspirations. Focus on your research interests, teaching experiences, and industrial exposure. Keep it concise and directly relevant to your goals and how they align with the department’s offerings.

Resume:

Your resume should be brief and include your research area, educational background, skills, publications, and references. Avoid duplicating information from your statement of purpose.

Writing Sample:

Include a sample of your research work, such as your undergraduate project or thesis summary for master’s students. This demonstrates your research capabilities and quality.

Recommendations:

Academic recommendations from professors who are familiar with your work are crucial. Focus on the quality of the recommendation rather than the status of the lecturer.

STEPS TO FINDING A SCHOLARSHIP

To secure a scholarship, follow these steps:

Search for Schools:

Research universities in your discipline and explore their departments’ research interests and funding criteria.

Reach Out to Prospective Supervisors:

Identify professors with similar research interests and establish contact. While not always required, contacting potential supervisors can strengthen your application.

Submit Documents:

If possible, share your documents with prospective supervisors for feedback tailored to the department’s requirements.

Await Admission:

Once you’ve submitted your applications, wait for admission notifications, which often come with funding for graduate studies.

In conclusion, these steps provide a guideline, and you can adapt them as needed. Prepare your documents early, engage with faculty members, and put forth your best effort to increase your chances of success in securing a scholarship.
