Good day everyone,

I am currently having issues with my NDDC application confirmation page. I couldn't print it out the day I made the application, so I sent the URL of the page to my mail. To my surprise, last night I checked my email and the code generated is not on it.

Please anyone that has an idea of what to do should help me.

Thank you.

hello Michaella,
Good to know you still have passion to pursue a career in the field of Geosciences.

Firstly, I will say don't be discourage about your PPA challenges , Otta is not a best location for a geoscientists, I have been based there sometimes ago and I have onces and virtually comb the whole areas, but you would have been a bit lucky if you had your way to Lafarge or Wapco at Ewekoro or Ibese ...well no hope is lost. take your time to prepare more for the challenges ahead during this period.
Secondly, On the issue of securing an International admission and funding through scholarships , it's no rocket science , all you need to do is to use your google search engine effectively and get all your documents prepared.
why google? you have to search various institutions in the UK , Canada , US and other good countries, get a list of them and browse through there requirements for International students, so some school you don't even need TOEFL or IELT but just your WAEC or NECO credit in English will do, or get a proficiency in English from the school you graduated from.
I will give you a list of necessary documents you need to secure an admission in some international schools in UK and the likes.
1. get an international passport
2. get. the original copies of all your certificates till your last education
3. Get a your transcript l.e student copy
4. get reference letter from your school lecturers minimum of 2 will be required.
5. get IELT or TOEFL with score of 6.5 and above (optional), some scholarship boards requires it , chevening scholarship, NLNG and some few others requires it.
Thirdly, Funding it doesn't come like a magic, you need adequate preparations cos you will be competing with thousands of candidates too, I will list few international fully funding scholarship bodies apart from the one above and you also have to do your home work to know when these awarding bodies rolls out there scholarship.
1.PTDF
2.NLNG
3.Agip
4. Commonwealth
5. Shell (if your from oil producing states especially there operations areas)
6. NDDC (strictly Oil producing states)
7.for first class candidates , NUC too offer a scholarship.
just keep keen to your information and read extensively.

stay focus and keep your head's up.
cheer.

EjiroSugar:
Really? I didn't see it on the website oh. Can you please give me the link?

Avsegzy:
I'll try to make this brief. I met her in 2005 got married in 2010 but everything i knew about her characters Changed after that... From nagging to making life very difficult for me to cope...

I tried to adjust and told myself "this is what it to be called a real man" then i was in the force mostly posted on night guard 6pm to 6am so when i got home i would try to relax when it's 7am my wife will tell me to leave the bed cos she wanted to rearrange the bed neatly so I'd stand but she wouldn't let me use the bed back claiming I'd rough it lol... After few minutes she'd tell me to get up from the chair in the sitting room that she wanted to sweep. Hehe i was like " i don enter one chance ohhh".

Sometimes if i got annoyed before i said one she'd already said four but one mistake i made was that i used to tell her that i can never ever beat my wife even for once. Sometimes she would even tell me that I was only scared of being beaten by a woman not that i didn't want to beat her, if I'm a man enough i should let us give it a trial lol.

I tried to do an inter state transfer just to be far away from cos after our first child things only get worse but then there was an embargo on transfer, i tried to be transferred to another local government but it wasn't successful. I took it as a shame on me to drive her out even with my little kid so i decided to travel out of the country after my visa came out i resigned but i felt guilty with the idea of leaving without informing her so I told her 2days to my departure though she was happy about it but insisted i must give her money to rent another house before i left, i pleaded with her to continue living there that later I'll send her money to rent another place but she said NO... I gave her the money, later to the market and buy foodstuffs that i knew could take them up to 2months at least, i also gave her what i could afford as "pocket money". It's not even up to 2weeks over i left that she started calling me that they were hungry and no money to buy food i was shocked "so i never escape?" I was annoyed "after you almost finished all my money back home?" hmmm "ok no problem use out of the money i gave u to rent another apartment" she said no she'd already given it to her friend to keep it.

She didn't even ask if got a job or not every time she called it'd be argument about money. I told her to go to my mum then to collect money but she refused saying my mum wasn't the one that came to marry her...

Later i stop to pick her calls and later changed my number but the more i tried to ignore her the more i missed her and my kid who i love to hear her voice always. I called her back after 2months, sent money to her(a big mistake) and that made her to demand more and more with hot pressure. I got tired of life didn't know what else to do and I've not been earning much work permit and co. Still under processing i decided to go do some casual works(labour work) the money i got 1st and 2nd day in the 3rd day luck ran against me and and i was arrested for working without permit i had the option to pay fine though but i couldn't afford the amount so i came back to Nigeria.

The most shocking things was that without informing her of what happened or my coming home she handed over a boxers " you're welcome this is what i bought for you" i asked how did she know i was coming she said she just feel like buying it. Later i told her what happened and how she was the cause but she wasn't remorseful rather she said i was lying against her and I've never seen anything this is just the beginning.

Backed in Nigeria no more work, things was hard but I'm not a lazy type but i refused to live with her but not willing to leave her. I decided to stay in another state, found something to do, got enough money years later and travelled out again but this time i didn't tell her anything up to a year now but i do send money. She sent a message through social media that she heard I'm living with a woman somewhere else so if i don't show up in 3months an end will come to our marriage.

I forgot to hard she works, has a shop. What should i do cos i can go home now and i love her and don't want to have 2nd wife in my record I've not even cheated just for once.
