I think say they claimed the police was working against the Rivers government when they sealed up the facilities
They were, they have just given up seeing that Rivers people are with the Governor and RSIEC.

Nobody protested against the election and turn out was large.

They had no choice but to understand Fubara has the approval of majority of the people.

Shame on Nigeria police for attempting to scuffle our democracy

Why won't you allow elections to hold ?

They better provide security to the elected LGA chairmen elected by Rivers people and monitored by lawful RSIEC just as was done in other Nigerian states.

Police don't scuffle our Democracy if you don't want youths to start attacking you.
PoliticsRe: BREAKING! Rivers: AA’s Uzodinma Nwafor Declared Winner Of Etche LG Poll by Ebubu2:
Congrats Honorable Chairman Uzodimma Nwafor

And Gov of Imo state is Uzodimma and Nwafor is an average Igbo name

Who talk say Igbos are not indigenous in some parts of Rivers state? These are not settlers but ancestral owners of those lands right from time.


Congrats to Uzodimma Nwafor, winning whereas APC won ALL LGA in Benue yesterday, lost none. This shows RSIEC did a transparent, free, fair election, devoid of rigging, violence, intimidation, deaths.

Ensure you work hard to develop roads, drainage, healthcare, education, rural markets, rural motor parks, in your local government.

Give these people control over police and watch them abuse everything.
Other states who conducted election also swore in their local government chairmen. That is the Nigerian local government structure.

But you have not gotten any fully funded Phd.
You already said youve applied to at least 7 and no positive result.
You're complaining about 500k for US application? Just your flight to and fro Abuja or Lagos is 300k, visa 300k, you'll still pay foe evaluation and SEVIS fee plus flight ticket.


So go for your MSc that is funded. And as you said enter the EE pool and wait it out . MSc is max 2 years. Get part time work and save some cash towards your goal.
Pace yourself. Phd is not running away.
Thank you Sir. Will surely do that.

Why remarry and be faithful when you can be filanderous and no one can hold you to account, after all your wife is dead.

Since u said you started your MSc last september, kuku finish am.

But since d state government said you must work for them, hope they won't direct d school not to issue your transcript after graduation? With no transcript, you can't make any application.


Cos let's b fair, u saw d contact before u signed it.

For US, u need more than 500k now. 300k for visa fee plus 600k ($350) for sevis, n that's 900k.

You would also pay application fee to the school, let's say $75 per school. Could also write English exams.

But d good thing is that if u get admission n funding, you will find a way to get that 900k. Keyword there is "IF"

Canada Express entry is largely IMPOSSIBLE. Do your own research. Even if you have a PhD, plus 3 years experience plus being under 30, you won't make d general draw. You have a chance with

But if you learn French really well, you will get in even with your BSC. But this will also involve some costs. Intensive learning for 12 to 18 months. $200 for WES evaluation.

My point is, there is no easy route or a guaranteed route, everybody just had to take that chance knowing they could fail.

There was an admission cycle...late 2019 that later led to COVID that I spent close to (make I keep quiet) for application for 10 schools in US n Canada plus WES n ielts.

Weigh your options carefully. Will Enugu government withhold your credential as they rightly should?

If Enugu government will not keep your credentials, save your stipends, get money for application fee for 2-5 schools n target schools that Nigerians don't need English.

If you get funding, the 900k for visa n sevis will show.

For canada
Can you learn French for 18 months n use d easiest Express entry Route to Canada? Note that the French exam you will write will now cost a cool 700k plus an additional $200 for WES. BUT perhaps you can get a provincial nomination, do your own research.
Thanks a lot for the insight. ESUT has not said anything as to whether they'll withhold our transcript and only release at the instance of the Ebonyi State government. They've not said anything on it.

These are really huge sums on either option; US or Canada a million Naira will be easily spent. Its a lot of risk for a US visa that has more than 60% unapproval rate. If it were easier as UK's I wouldn't mind borrowing it even.


Thanks a lot for the insight into the two options, I'll sleep on it.

Sorry about your sacrificed sums too, the future is always brighter.❤🙏

Congratulations and glad to read you finished your program. Congratulations on your scholarship as well. To me, it gives you an opportunity not to rush the admission to the US. This is admission time for Fall, 2025; you can do a good search for a program of choice.
Why are you restricted to only a PhD in Pharmacy? What is your plan after the program? Do you intend to lecture/research or you would like to practice? I think your answer to the last question can be a starting point to guiding you on how best to go about it.
Thank you for your kind wishes. I'm filled with gratitude to you.

I am restricted to PhD because it is the program that comes out on top in terms of full funding with living stipends called Teaching or Research Assistantships. Many Msc programs are not funded, or they would be partly funded, and I don't have the resources or network to complete the full funding. So I rely on PhD programs which largely come with full funding, but tough to get from a BSc if you didn't have a first class anyway, which I actually didn't.

My plan after the program would be to contribute to research in any of the Big Pharma's located in the US.

Since this is a safe space devoid of any VO presence (if I am correct), a Pharmacy practice wouldn't be existentially bad if I am not satisfied with the working environment at a research company. But that would mean me writing professional licensure exams and doing hours of internship, which I wouldn't mind.

However, the former remains the initial plan.

How did you win a state government MSc scholarship? Well, it depends actually. Will you be given a lecturing appointment upon finishing your MSc? Your credentials can be a solid point to apply for PhD program abroad (Europe or USA or Canada). If you have a solid MSc, it can open many opportunities— your school can retain you, u can decide to travel out for PhD etc . OyoTunjiUSA might have a point in that having a MSc can give u opportunity to apply for a PhD program and get offers since you have already tried with your BSc
I won the scholarship based on an exam granted by the state government of Ebonyi for fresh graduate Pharmacists. I applied, sat for the exam, passed it, and was awarded a fully funded MSc scholarship to attend at ESUT, in Enugu State with living stipends in Naira of course.

The plan by the government is to work for the state government of Ebonyi at the successful end of my Msc in Pharmacy program. However I must add I was very reluctant when the caveat was added on my scholarship letter. I don't know in what capacity yet that I am to work for them; whether as a lecturer or some sort of civil service job. I was hoping it would be a "study and go" scholarship, never imagined I'd have to work in return for the government because honestly I'm not enjoying this country.

I'll listen to Tunji's advice, I'll finish the MSc in Pharmacy which I just commenced last September, then by God's grace, I'll obtain a Distinction and some research publications at the end of the MSc, then aim for a PhD scholarship in USA with a revamped CV containing research publications and the Distinction in MSc.

If I still don't get the scholarship or visa was not approved then I'll go for the Canadian Express Entry.

Thanks a lot to you both (Tunji and youself).

God bless all of you going for Visa interviews.

Hey 🤠

1. If i were in your position, even with a PhD scholarship guaranteed in America, my best pick would be "The State Sponsored (MSc in Pharmacy) Scholarship at ESUT. It has greater advantages you cannot see right now.

Best Wishes 🙏
Is someone really choosing an ESUT state government sponsored scholarship over a US PhD full funded scholarship if I were to get one?

Can you elaborate more why so I'll be on same stage as you?
