Hi all,

I finished with a 3.52 CGPA in using Nigerian rating in Pharmacy. And that's just an average CGPA to be honest.

I intend to apply for fully funded PhD scholarships but I reckon BSc to PhD scholarships by skipping MSc is usually for folks who have incredible BSc CGPA and not an average 3.52

This factor is a huge discouragement. As I don't necessarily want to waste my time further, already applied to about 2 last year and inquired about 7 still same last year without ANY positive result.

Secondly, my second fear is cost of processing DS 160, F1 visa booking, and any other document that may require USD ($). I learnt they may run into 500k Naira, which I have not because I only finisher from school last year under this economy and currently a corp member after I had finished my compulsory one year internship.


So to summarise, my major worries are about chances of winning fully funded scholarship with 3.52 CGPA in Pharmacy, secondly, how to go about spending literally 500k plus in Naira just to do interview, which 86% fail out of.


Guys what are your advice?
My second alternative would be to go for Canadian Express Entry as I studied Pharmacy, below 30 years of age and just got a state sponsored scholarship to do masters in Pharmacy at Enugu State. So I got advise to complete the Msc program and get a Canadian EE, and I can go to US from there as I'll have a better funding by then.


Which is of course can not be compared with a US.

OyotunjiUSA please advice

No Afikpo was part and parcel of Old Bende division both politically and culturally while Abakaliki is politically and culturally aligned with wawa Enugu people.

Liar

Obi's LP didn't win a single ward and Obi's LP lost in his own local government to APGA

Peter Obi and Labour Party are very useless

Anambra part of the proposed Orlu state have killed the proposal as they said they are not interested through their leaders.

What does Afikpo and Abakiliki man have in common yet they were joined together from Enugu and Abia state to form a state?
At bolded
Ina ekwuzi ka onye isi mgbaka
Uche gi odi kwaya?I will learn to start ignoring some people here.

Afikpo and Abakaliki have always had commonality.

Both Afikpo and Abakaliki were part of Ogoja province with capital in Abakaliki (Ogoja, Afikpo, Abakaliki, Abam, Ugep, Obudu, etc), Afikpo and Abakaliki are the Igbo traditions observing parts so were thus reunited after they were separated into Imo and Anambra states because history had it that Afikpo migrated from Aro and Abakaliki progenitor (Ekumenyi) also migrated from Aro.

So Afikpo and Abakaliki commonality is Aro ancestry.

Commendable.

There should be more media PR and advert to increase patronage and bring more customers.

Bill board adverts in Abakaliki, radio FM adverts, et cetera.

He should also lobby SA to the Governor for more assistance and Promotion. The FG should also assist him through the relevant agencies.

Good initiative @polycarp65

I no dey fear Ijaw men for politics.

As GEJ soft na so Fubara take soft.

Fubara no fit attack properties of allies of Wike and demolish Wike properties in PH like Wike demolished those of Rivers men who supported Atiku such as Secondus.


Na Kano politics i fear pass.


Make Fubara go sleep.

Kam2021:
What are the implications of using the 2023 register?

Fubara men who joined this year will not be recognised by INEC as court ordered APP to use 2023 register.

If you are not a member as of 2023, you can't contest LG primaries to emerge candidate of the party in forthcoming LGA elections.

Interpretation is Fubara men can't represent APP in forthcoming LGA election; if they insist, court will nullify it after the elections.

vowiski:
Did you read the first paragraph. ?

This is what APP wanted ..

So they must have a plan

The original APP are being bribed by Wike to compel court to use 2023 register before Fubara and his men's arrival, and the court granted it.

Fubara is a neophyte in politics. Wike is being guided by Supreme Court justices, he is also a Lawyer and wife is a High Court judge.


Fubara is a goner and won't win second term. Edo will be a small case.

If they use 2023 voters register then Fubara men won't be elected.

Fubara has lost this fight.

Gbajabiamila will hand over Rivers state control to Wike's PDP while the latter accepts to destabilise the party in 2027 Presidential election.

LP is already warning Obi he won't get second term.

Let all man focus on 2031.

2027 is gone.

Hi, please what is the total cost after obtaining full scholarship to the point of visa.

I'd like to know so as to budget well. Cost of DS-120, visa interview fee, any other fee that will be paid before visa interview.

Cost of them all in approximate. (Dollars or naira)

Thank you all.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

As far as Ebonyi people are concerned, we will keep fighting those who fight Ebonyians until they become the first to drop the sword. In the end, it was not us who instigated or started the war or incitations or discriminations, we are only on the defence.

Thinktwicemybro:
These buses are met to move commuters. It will not reduce any inflation. It will only help people save transport cost. What will reduce inflation is subsidizing heavy vehicles that move goods especially agricultural products from the farms to the Market. Learn to use your brain.

Na your useless papa brain i dey use.

Your self acclaimed high sense no tell your dumb brain say person wey save money will handle inflation better than person wey dey spend most money on human transportation, not to take away your point though but you can add it without removing my point.

Imp.

nedu666:
When will you stop pretending to be from ebonyi state. You need to go and delete your early comments telling us your village in Oyo state

You are an irredeemable idiot born through the unusual canal.

Anuofia

Quote the comment or you will remain a fool forever.

Better accept the Ebonyi clique are the political giants in the SE as far as this administration is concerned.

SmartPolician:
Oga, stop the needless comparison.

will that stop Anambra people from denigrating and discriminating Ebonyians ?

clockwisereport:
says an Ebonyian

Ebonyian from Ebonyi state with best infrastructure in South East.

Abia State and bad governance no fit separate.

Alex Otti on the beat

More of this is needed by each Governor.

This is very good

If every state has intra state CNG buses for dwellers, cost of transport which is major cause of inflation, will drop drastically.

Even Otti wey dey pay 18k as minimum wage not even up to 30k not to mention 70k dey attend anti-people protest

Tjra:
Bro, I used to bash all Southeasterners before but I know better now.

The Obidients amongst them are the bad eggs painting the rest black. They are uncouth, troublesome, loud and vocal which is why we hear them more.

Trust me, not all of them are bad and ungrateful and I mean it.

The Anambra and Enugu axis are the troublemakers, especially the Anambra axis. Very discriminatory, provocative set of people. That's how Anambra people wickedly call Ebonyi and Abakaliki people people insultive names.

dumahi:
Okay, you're resorting to brute force? Well, of course, only brutes resort to brute force. Yet I know, it's not those who brag the most win the most. Thanks .

Empty online chest beater.

Come to my street and call me timid Abakaliki man na, let's know between me and you who is timid.

You can only make noise online. And na Abakaliki people dey even control Federal Government amongst all South Eastern people or states.

She lived in the 1700-1800s and dressed this way, fully clothed with an Elizabethan hat to match!

Damn! A time where most of black Africa was still tying cave-men like kind of pants (if at all), over their pubic.
