GeneralOjukwu:
Let me teach you something.

When I was just starting out like you, had little experience so I had to exaggerate the little I had. The key thing is to be hyperbolic a bit and don't tell an outright lie that you can't defend.

Yes, for the WAHO application, I used my NYSC experience because I didn't have any other. I worked in a health agency so it was relevant.

I spent my NYSC breaking records on Chicken Invaders on the new desktop WHO donated to my organisation In my application I didn't mention that. I focused more on leading and supervision of health teams grin
LOL @ emboldened. Thanks. But I truly was and still am an educator, it's no lie. I have my answers now, though. Thank you!

Your experience is valid and they can fly. To start with how many recommendation letters were you asked to send? if its just one, i would suggest you state your roles and the organizations here so that oga GeneralOjukwu and I can touch light the matter and suggest what would fly the most.

e.g- ABC and co limited- Counsellor Tester
Thanks for the swift response. But I'm afraid you haven't answered my questions. The required recommendation letter is just one- that of the volunteering experience, and it's to be uploaded. From your responses to other posts, I have figured that recommendation letters from PPAs are valid. That's done. But then, you say my experience is valid, which? Professional or volunteering? My 'professional' experiences as an educator, though more than a year, were garnered during and pre-NYSC. One of the criteria says to have at least one year of professional experience. With the way that particular criterion is structured, I think we're just to mention it in the motivation essay, only the volunteering experience is to be verified (with a recommendation letter). Now, my question is if I should state my professional experience as an educator, would it be ok?

cc GeneralOjukwu

I also would like to share my motivation letter and CV with you, so as to help fine-tune them.

Pls feel free to PM me now. I will be available to answer your questions but i would suggest we have thequestions here so that others too can benefit
I was given a recommendation letter by my PPA before leaving (signed and stamped).
Can the NYSC itself be considered as the required 1 year volunteering experience, with this recommendation letter flying with it? I also intensely engaged in HIV/AIDS sensitisation throughout my service year. I have a 'little' letter of recognition to show for it (signed but not stamped). Will this fly? Or will service and recommendation in a religious setting suffice and be considered? Please help critique all three.

As for the 1 year professional experience, I only rounded up service 3months ago. However, will/can my past experiences as an educator be considered?

PS. I already PM'd you, twice. I patiently await your response. Thank you.

Morning, guys.
The computer-delivered test and the paper-delivered test: Apart from the huge difference in score reporting time frame and, of course, the extra 5 one-minute-a-question questions on the latter, what other advantages does the computer-delivered have over the paper-delivered? What other things are imputed to the paper-delivered? In essence, I'd appreciate a comparison.

Has anyone in the house ever given both? Is there any evidence that the questions on the paper-delivered are harder? Does picking the paper-delivered have any negative impact on admissions or anything for that matter? Answers to these questions couldn't possibly be found on the official site. It's why I've come to ask the ELDERS of this thread. Please, I need fresh insights into these.
Thanks

I haven't, I don't know about tosinoo, though. There was a feedback that I'd be notified; I haven't been.

VISA approved this morning, around 7am. I was denied on the 22nd June 2017. I then summoned strength to fireback. I actually faced my fear.

I was interviewed by a woman in her 50s. I was the first Person to be interviewed this morning.

I specially want to thank God and Mr Texrem, this guy is just so exceptional, then I want to say a big thank to rash , and others who contributed to my success.

See you all at the top.
Congratulations!
This one everyone is thanking texrem.... You most certainly deserve the props. Well done! I'm pretty sure I'll be thanking him and the other in-house gurus soon myself.

I did request for permission as well, even though I wasn't the one who asked for it.

It's as the popular Yoruba saying goes... Ma ko'ja mi Olugbala....

PS. I hope it's OK that I did

The name of the school sounds the same as where the sky people lived in "The 100" series
Anyways all you need to do is be better prepared and work on the answers to all the likely questions. It's all about preparation and God.

My GRE experience:
Apologies for the delay, I've been extremely busy of late. I sat for the GRE on the 11th of May.
The Beginning.
Thanks for sharing

I think you are qualified depending on your GPA and scores in certain courses. You need to check schools that offer Master in Public health (MPH). Most would have epidemiology as a concentration under MPH. Stop focusing on B.tech. I think the tech as to do with the fact that you attended a University of technology.
Thank you.
I made a 4.28/5.00 CGPA. I only mentioned the BTech cos folks would normally think it's BEd since it's Biology​. As for the 'certain courses,' I know of Math (Statistics) and Physiology among others (University of Arizona), both of which I did. But they didn't mention the required foundational (first degree) courses. I just needed to know if Biology is one of such courses anywhere.

Thank you, again.

Hello, guys. Nice thread. I have a question... How feasible is an MSc in Epidemiology, with a first degree in Biology (BTech)? I majored in Parasitology in my final year; research work soon to be published by supervisor

PoliticsRe: 10 Most Industrialized States In Nigeria by dawbbleOuEi: 5:00pm On Jun 18, 2017
I'm not sure how the OP came about this list, but Ogun is more industrialised than Lagos. But then, what's the point of any list about which state/region is more industrialised than another? The point really should be that every nook and cranny be industrialised.
