One commonly used acronym relating to
postgraduate study is PGD. It simply means
Postgraduate Diploma. Hopefully, you are
used to M.phil, M.B.A and few others.


Postgraduate diploma (PGD) is an advanced
certificate, awarded by the school of
postgraduate studies of the respective
University (in Nigeria). A PGD is not a
degree per se. Then comes the question…..



WHY PGD ANYWAY?
A PGD serves more as a entry qualification
for a Masters degree programme. While
having a Bachelor degrees would suffice for
postgraduate admission, certain situations
warrant the need for a PGD.


Majorly, a PGD is needed when seeking
Masters admission to a specialization that
your is outside the scope of the Bachelors
degree. This means, it is possible to switch
course of study or career paths, without
restarting a new four/five years Bachelors
degree.


No matter your new fancy or interest. PGD
makes the switch possible and maybe
faster. Note didn’t say easier. Case in
point, bachelors graduate of chemistry, can
do a Masters in Chemical Engineering after
a postgraduate diploma PGD in Chemical
Engineering.


In addition, a PGD is needed if there was a
poor or below standard academic
performance. In this case, PGD is needed to
prove that the certain prerequisite grade.


Its is also needed to show that the student
can meet the intellectual demands of doing
the Masters degree of the course of study,
and the poor performance at previous
Bachelors degrees was probably due to
exigencies. Doing a PGD, serves as a
foundation programme in this respect. Many
Universities outside Nigeria called PGD,
Foundation Masters or Pre-Masters. They
all serve the same purpose.


In Nigeria in particular, PGD is required for
HND (Higher National Diploma) graduate by
some University before proceeding for a
Masters programme.



WHAT TYPE OF PGD SHOULD YOU STUDY
FOR?
The are PGD programmes in virtually every
course of study. But the most popular
seems to be the postgraduate diploma in
education (PGDE). This is necessary for all
who desire to be teachers at any level
(primary – university) but did not study
education. There are also PGD in
Journalism, PGD in Engineering, PGD in
some medical fields and PGD Business
Administration, Marketing, Finance,
Economics etc.



HOW LONG FOR A PGD?
Duration for a PGD programme depends on
specific schools. It ranges from a year to
two. The shortest time would not be less
than 9 months. The duration for a PGD is
also dependent types of study, full time,
part time, sandwish or distance learning. Do
note the unlike M.Phil. PGD is a terminal
programme, except in rare cases.
Admission for a Masters degree is not
automatic, and this prospective student
needs to apply formally.


Whatever your choices are, sure you are
better informed about what PGD is all
about.

Just few hours after the Incident in the red chamber and subsequently to PMB comment that the Nigeria Youths are Lazy, A young politician from Delta State Senatorial Central District has taken the bull by the horns to fight for a seat in the Red Chamber of which the incumbent Senator would be on suspension, approximately, for the next one year. Meaning the senatorial district won't be represented for that period of time.

What do you think, should we give the youths our support for a position that has been occupied by our grey headed men time immemorial to prove the old men wrong ?

READ AND UNDERSTAND

Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

my friend, kill them if you can with prayers before they kill you and later repent, then share your death as a testimony and become more famous.

Samsimple:
We claim to be christians but we tend to exhibit characters that contradicts the teachings of jesus...why do we despise our non existing enemies so much, when we know we are the cause our problems, even if they do exist why do christians still say "holy ghost fire pursue and destroy my enemies" ... Love your enemies and just maybe he/she might be ur best friend....

This guy sent me a message of blocking my ATM card and was bold enough to use a mobile number instead of the usual bulk sms... on the other hand , I was so much in spirit to place a curse on him for everyone he has duped in the past.... the funny part is the guy won't hesitate to call and beg...

You sound like one that lacks knowledge.your 4 is senseless. how can other countries provide help wen we in Nigeria receive direct pay in Naira?

You sound so confidence about Mmm that is the highest rate of foolishness. Are you are aware that even if Mmm guiders got good intention, fraudsters have entered the game? they upload fake tellers, some received help and won't confirm it..... all this kills the spirit of reinvest and you know what that means.....

my advice is invest wisely and learn to understand the game.... me grand pa once said, no matter the millions you put in an investment, the few cash you have in your personal account is always bigger. finally, learn to save a part , so you won't be heartbroken.


sorry if my tone were strong , I was so moved by the ignorance of your post..... why Mmm will never fall, of which know everything have an end no matter how long it stays.

godwinstringed1:
MMM has over 10 safety nets which will never make it crash. And you Never notice But I will mention 10 out of them.

*1, Pause mode*

*2, 14 days defrost*

*3, Extension of the getting help hours*

*4, Seeking help from neighboring country*

*5, No central account attached*

*7,  Peer to peer  system*

*8,  Guider's efforts*

*9   PH match hours extension*

*10, Website upgrades and security*


*1, Pause mode*

This process is applied when the numbers of the people getting help is greater than the people help. The system will pause the GH transactions and allow more PH to come into the system for the duration of 2 and half months, then the system will now restart.

PH means provide help and the GH means get help


*2, 14 days defrost*

The participants will not be able to withdraw their money until after 14 days when the payments have been confirmed. During this process, more PH would have come into the system therefore there would be pool of cash to pay the old participants.


*3, Extension of GH hours*

this occur when there is a public holidays when the banks are not working therefore,  there won't be transaction and it may cause the problem to the system. The system will now extend the hours of the people who are getting help at that period to allow more People providing help into the system.


*4, Help seeking from neighboring country*

When there are more GH than PH in a country, MMM will look into the other countries which are doing well and match them together, pending the time that the affected country will be OK.


*6, No central account attached*

MMM  does not have a certain account that we are sending to. MMM doesn't collect your money.


*7, Peer to peer system*

Participants pay directly to the bank account of the other participants seeking help


*8, Guider's efforts*

Guiders are the heartbeat of MMM, guiders make sure each and everyone in MMM understand the Ideology of MMM and how it works


*9, PH  match hours extension*

When the system finds out that there are more GH than PH,  the system will extend the hour of old PH so that to hold down their order matches duration and during this period, the system will allow more new PH to come into the system to get it balanced.


*10, Website upgrades and security*

MMM spends million of dollars in taking care of their website to cub online fraud in MMM, such as scam and other Threats.
