I was given admission by University of Georgia with full tuition waver and assistanship despite having cgpa of 3.18/5.... With gre of 330/340...very strong sop and CV,backed with four recommendation letters, two from my lectures and other two from my former employer and present employer.
If your cgpa is low it doesn't matter, what they will look at is if you were involved in extra activities during your undergraduate that leads to benefit of your former school.with this they will take it as this is what distracted you to perform very well during your undergraduate.
Good GRE result attested to this fact and make them assume thats exactly what happened.lol
All this depends on how you play your game jare.

Great input by you. By the way, you Gre score was lit.

cole82:
most universities in the u.s and Canada international admission cgpa scale is 3.00, so you are very qualified to apply for an Msc program. In some cases u are asked to write a one of the standardized exams like the GRE test.

In addition to what you said, he has to be clearer on the overall GPA his cumulative is equated to.

Last I checked, most Nigerian universities use different cumulative GPA. Example, 3.1/4.00 is not bad per say, but 3.1/5.00 would definitely court attention during review by the admission committee of any school involved.

krcboy:
when are you starting your journey for fall?

Bro,

some schools application portal are still open for this year Fall while others have next year, Fall 2023 open (some even up to 2025 for Fall applications).

It is left for you to decide when you want to start yours. As for me, started already hence my message. One or two pending application is for Fall 2023.

For those in mechanical, or have passion for robotics and its applications in different fields like military, agriculture etc., you can check out Professor Daniel Flippo in Kansas State University.

He is looking for PhD students, and has funding readily available with a fully funded project with starting date which happens to be this Fall semester.

NB: Came across his page when doing my own research in that school. There is another lady professor who also needs PhD students, but I can't remember if it is same university or another university.

Done my own personal research and also read few pages of this thread. It is safe to say, I can be able to start this journey.

Prospective Fall applicant.
May Funding fall upon us, just like the dews fall upon the earth in the morning, o Lord.

beautyfoch:
Hello guys,

Was any embargo placed on recruitment of Nigerians
I got this email from a prospective employer

Do you mind dropping the name of the prospective employer?

One thing about addiction is that, you are meant to replace one addiction with another.

Total withdrawal method is more deadly than those already into it. Best advice, he should replace smoking with social drinking of alcohol.

CC OP

Terrible news.
They should check his personal files and phone. Should be able to get access to his international passport, and probably emergency contacts to reach across to those in Nigeria.

Double wahala for dead body.

May unfortunate women never cross the part of responsible men who wishes to settle down o Lord.

internationalman:
Stop overrating Putin and Russia..

If they were that powerful he wouldn't have mentioned going nuclear at all...

Russia is just a little upgrade to Nigeria without their military..

It is an insult to compare Russia with Nigeria.
Without nuclear, even Togo or Mali will beat Russia hands down in similar war.

Nigeria on their own with little support of other African countries military stopped the Liberian war. Honestly, this war made me to know that Russia is hugely overrated. Soviet Union (when it was still existing) was far better than present day Russia. Russia on the other side is living on the union's past glory.

The guy's wife looks positively exotic when smartly dressed compared to her last photo.

Keep it up brotherly and treat her well just as people from your side are known to treat women.

Wazobia2216:
Is it not this guy thats always showing Russians doing Nigeria sturve

Nope.

That one is Tochiphotos.... something like that.
I don't know why this guy's face looks like someone who grew up in the 'Japan of Africa'?

Equal2DeTask:

Whazar:

omopapa:
You can’t plug to laptop what I meant by taking it with me is that I can plug to TVs anywhere I go

Okay, clarified.

omopapa:
Yes u can DM me but my vendor only does for firesticks

If it is amazon firestick, hope it can be plugged into laptop and used just like TV?
I am asking because, you said something about going everywhere with yours when not at home.

Sent the dm already

omopapa:
Not this one but you can try them as well

It is expensive. Can I dm you to get the details about the one you use?

NB: Not in UK but would need to watch all those premium channels through this platform.

Teewhy2:
Thanks so much, I appreciate

Don't mention.

Teewhy2:
I got a message from them that she should use the name on document to be submitted to home office and if it is not same on document, someone should attached marriage certificate with it.

The only challenge now is that they said they don't accept student copy of transcript, has anyone submitted stamped student copy and gotten His/er Naric info.

Good.

I know the names on documents should tally with what you registered the profile with. During registration, there should be option to select title which the said lady can select married instead of single.

As for transcript, If it is boldly engraved across each page as student copy, it may not fly.

Check other mention about how to go about it.

Nonpartisan1:
Meanwhile, flight from Copenhagen to London (Return Ticket) is 481.91 (DKK)Danish Krones which is about 30,500 Naira.

Oh, it's usually cheaper during holidays like Easter and Christmas. It was about 13K Naira plus during Christmas.

Nigeria is too expensive for a poor country.

Which flight app did you use to check this?

Kemistri4:
Can anyone on nairaland truthfully say he/she left the university a virgin?


Let's hear from you my people

Na wah for you.

Teewhy2:
Thanks, I will do that and get back here.

Okay

Teewhy2:
please for people that have done their NARIC, creating an account for a married woman on NARIC website does she need to create the account using the name on the certificate or using her new surname which is on the passport.

Send them a mail for clarification before creating the account.

In my own opinion, you should create with name that your documents bears. I don't think they request for copy of your passport. Still send the mail across to them for best advice.

babyfaceafrica:
Oyinbo women dealing with foolish African men. First eboue, now eto!!

Eboue own is heartbreaking. The guy lost everything!. I mean everything, and hit ground zero.

Debbiey:
Let's not be too harsh on people who don't give out full information while sharing their transcript.

Before you judge me, read this:

"I shared my whole details with a friend, trying to guide her through how I secured admission to a school, the professors I reached out to....., and i was back stabbed."

"The person went behind my back to contact my professor to take him instead of me. I almost lost the admission and my full funding because of this."

This is not a story. It happened late last year.
So, let's not be too harsh, let's respect the limit to which people want to share their details.

Thanks.

Terrible action by him.

Thank God you sailed through.

ritsy02:
Please my programme duration is from August 23, 2022- May 31st, 2024, but my passport will expire in January, 2024 (before my programme ends).

Is this an issue please? Do I need to renew my passport, when I still have almost 2 years validity on it?

It is not an issue.

5 months before it expires, apply for passport renewal in the nearest Nigerian embassy in USA. Go get that visa and move to US for your study.

I think the issue is worrisome. Most are now moving back to legit guys and proclaiming lovey dovey love to them.

May we not be led astray by most coded clitocoin traders who have traded their grace for a mosel of porridge

HenryDion:
The last time I checked, an 18 years old girl is an adult in the eyes of the law, with legal consenting ability. In other words, she's of legal age to consent.

A 17 years old boy is a minor and should have been protected from that woman. She manipulated him no thanks for her wide experiences and knowledge, and abused the young boy for her selfish urges. I don't know why she hasn't been arrested already.

I understand where you are coming from. If I am to extrapolate the information from this writeup, I would say the juridistiction where the said event happened is not covered by UK government. She is in Uk currently while the said event (Sexual affair) if it actually happened was done in Nigeria.

HenryDion:
It's appalling. A 33 years old woman abused a minor and hell is yet to break loose. If reverse was the case, the world would have ended. Women indeed run the world.

If the woman is 33 years old, and they are married for 15years, does that mean he married an underaged woman while in france? I mean, married her at the age of 18 hence the reason why she was unable to explore herself?

Beedollas:
Anybody got answer for this?

Go for any that is available apart from part-time. When you reach there you can decide what to do after working for few months or years as agreed between you and your sponsor.

Why I excluded part-time, is because, it is meant for people schooling already. This will prevent embassy from having prejudiced mindset about you not actually going for work as you indicated.

Brownygold002:
. I told them already, dad said I should be patient dah it's normal. Mom is mute. M just confused and tired.

If this is not a fake story, I will advice you to leave that place at all cost before the disfigure you with knife, acid, or razor blade like a Uniport girl did to her roommate (similar scenario).

Tell your dad and mum, to do something about it rather than waiting till something happens to you before they will start wailing or lamenting.

Life no get duplicate o.
