Your WAEC result is still valid.

lovingT:
Nice list... why number 5 though....

Will like to know.....

Because on the first date, you both are supposed to spend time getting to know each other. Taking her to the movies doesn't allow for that.

Die for nigeria, who does that?

No matter what you think of Nigeria, it's our country, our home and the only one at that. Things might not be perfect, but at least we have peace. That is something that people in Syria, South Sudan, Iraq, etc with give anything, yes anything just to experience once again.

And for the young men and women of our armed forces fighting a terrible war on terror so that we can live in comfort, we'll forever be grateful and always remember you in our prayers.

Some of them might pay the utilmate sacrifice, never seeing their families again, others might become physically challenged and even those that came back physically unscathed will never be the same again.

Our leaders might forget these Nigerian heroes, but I and many millions more will never forget them.

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice...
I want everything black because I'm proudly African.

Buhari is being lopsided in most of his appointments, only the Muslim north is considered fit to hold any sensitive position. These appointments will only further divide Nigerians, the effects might be not felt now but it will come back to haunt the north later in future. The north cannot develop by these actions.

And before you start calling me a 'wailer', I'm proudly from the north, but what is wrong, is wrong.

GED might have being ineffectual and surrounded himself with corrupt individuals, but he gave every part of Nigeria a sense of belonging. As a northerner, I can tell you that if the tables were turned, the north would not have kept quiet. I really fear for the future of this country.

suyamasta:
I have been involved in something like this the original creators "Thief our Money and Run Away"

But on a serious note that's a bad experience, I understand your concern.

This is a nice idea and I'm really excited about it. If all modalities are sorted out, I'm ready to invest resources and expertise.

I have a suggestion though, instead of actually setting up a venture/company, why not invest the money in a variety of assets? Something like a hedge or mutual fund.

@op
So if the people on this forum advise you to leave her, you'll do it?
Will you take the advise of faceless people online over the word of someone you love and have dated for over 2 years?

People here will only advise you based on their personal experiences or the experiences of people close to them. Those with bad experiences will certainly advise you to forget about her.

The decision to continue or not rest with you and only you alone.

I've seen a distance relationship that lasted five years. I was in same school with the girl while the guy was back in Nigeria. Throughout the period of her studies, she was faithful to him. Of course sometimes during the summer break, she'll travelled to Nigeria to be with him. I've also seen distance relationships that couldn't last a year.
Whether yours will succeed or not will depend on you both, only you both can make it work. Understand though, that it won't be easy. But if you truly love her, then distance should just be another challenge.

Good luck.

I think it's a nice idea and a step in the right direction (Even Google was not perfect at the beginning).

But here are a couple of issues I noticed.

First, it's too slow and that is unacceptable. My internet is very fast and so, slow internet cannot be the reason. Ask yourself, why should a user leave fast search engines like Google or Bing to use yours? In addition, when I searched for some terms, it found nothing. And even when it returned search results, they were few compared to searching for the same term in Google, Bing and Yandex. I think you really need someone with a strong CS and Algorithm background. Search engine is more than just programming/coding.

Secondly, you've already created space for advertisement. That is just too fast. Making money should not be your main aim now. Instead, focus on delivering quality services. Look for features that will make your search engine unique compared to others. Believe me, the money will come later.

It’s easy for the present administration to blame the previous government and failing prices of crude oil for everything. How long will this blame game continue? Yes, oil price is low, but with proper management of our available resources Nigerians should not suffer.

I just don’t understand why some Nigerians are bent on defending every action of the present government even when it’s against the interest of the masses. Yes, I supported GMB when he was campaigning because I felt that he will perform better than GEJ. Unfortunately, apart from fighting Boko Haram (which in my opinion, he has really done well), this government has taken Nigeria backwards. The economy is a mess and is sinking deeper every day. Even the war on corruption that we all hoped would be total is one sided. I have been privileged to live outside Nigeria for about six years now and that has shown me how heartless our leaders are. At the minimum, Nigerians have the right to affordable health care services, power, education, security and infrastructure. If every Nigerians would realize how our government has consistently cheated us, we will all drag them out of their homes, give them the beating of the lives, lock them up and throw away the keys. You have no business singing their praises and defending people that are responsible for your present circumstances.

number13:
Bros, well done. Nothing concrete o. What of you?

Nothing yet. I'm still searching.

number13:
So, who are headed for München this October?

@number13
I'm heading to München. Any success with accommodation?

Neyoalao:
someone should please attend to my question na

And it also depends on the university. Some accept direct applications. I applied directly to three universities (TUM, RWTH and Saarland) and got admission into two (TUM and Saarland).

ebele17:
if you will be resuming late, and you have an enrollment deadline, you need to do the insurance before your deadline. You have to pick an insurance company either AOK, Barmer Gek, or TK. i don't know about the other two but i use Barmer Gek. You have to send them an email explaining that you are a student and need student insurance for your enrollment at TUM. With Barmer Gek, there is an online form to fill and they will email you back. They will send some forms to you which you will fill and scan back to them. one of those forms is a payment authorization for them to debit your blocked account for your insurance starting from the beginning of the semester which is October, so even if you are not here till January the following year, once you have enrolled, they will still debit you starting from October, it doesn't matter when you physically arrive here.
So, after you have submitted these forms to them, they will process it and send your proof of insurance to you. this you have to send to student services to complete your enrollment. You can give them the address of TUM as your main address and then you can change it later if you want. You will send your admission letter and your passport photograph to them because they also need to make your insurance card. It important that you send your insurance before your deadline if you have a deadline. TUM always have deadline for everything.
But if you will be in Germany earlier, then you can physically check out the insurance plans and pick the one you like.

@ebele17
It's clear now, thanks a lot.

ebele17:
Wow, number 13. Congrats on your admission. You are right, for student hall you have be on the waiting list. You can look for outside accommodation for the time being and also there are people that sublet their student room for a month or more. This is the best option for you because accommodation out side in Munich is expensive. Go to facebook, their is the TUMInternational group and the group for people looking to sublet. You will find adverts. The sooner the better. About health insurance, you can write to the insurance companies from Nigeria but its not important until you get here. When you get here, you can go to the office personally and they will explain to you what you need and what they do. You can then sign up and take the letter to school for your full enrollment. Because, you have to take the letter there anyway. Don't be in a rush about that one. They know that, that is why you are buying 3 months health insurance from Nigeria. Because for insurance here, they need your bank details, ID, address of where you live in Munich and all that stuff which you don't have yet. This is for public. I don't know for private insurance and sometimes TUM doesn't accept private insurance. I use BARMER GEK and its being awesome for me. I don't pay for jack. With private insurance, you pay your bills and they refund some but with public, you don't pay anything at the hospital or if you are buying drugs. Even with private, some clinics or pharmacies don't accept it.
I hope I am able to cover everything

@ebele17
Please, I need more clarification. I'm going for Msc in Informatics and due to certain circumstances, I'll be resuming late at TUM. Maybe late October or early November. Can I still leave the insurance until I get there? I thought enrolment must be completed by early October and health insurance is required. Thanks.

Eke40seven:
Well, you know that feeling you get when someone said you ain't good enough for them and immediately you get someone quite better licking your feet just to embrace them.
Yes, that's just how I feel right now, I applied to similar course in Freiburg and TUM, Freiburg rejected outrightly, but TUM jus sent a letter that looks like a coated academic 'toasting' for me to accept their programme. The main thrill is, School for School TUM is better, Programme for programme, TUM is ranked about 52 in the whole world and Freiburg, 73 for same programme and the final icing on the cake, one will choose Munich over Freiburg any day. I have the option I have long sought after.
I didn't plan for this programme though, my docs got there way after deadline. I wrote their essay and motivation letter which I was given marks for, plus the grade on my transcript and was given admission without the normal interview which means the score was over 70.
I have always wanted an option and this is a good one.
Please, endeavour to always write a good motivation letter, it has its own effect and don't give up even when the letters haven't arrived yet, it could just be closer to you than you think as far as you have done your homework.
By the way, who here is heading down south to Munich?

Congrats. Earlier this month, I got admission to TUM for Msc Informatics. Have you started the hostel application process? What about the visa application?

phaayy: Hi.
I suck at learning new languages so please whch of d BEA countries do majority of people there speak english?
Also, which three countries do u think is best for medicine?
Thnkz.

Unfortunately, most of the countries are non-English speaking countries. As for learning a language, though it's challenging, but it's all about attitude.

BayodeAA: Hi Abdullahi, I really appreciate your comment and will more appreciate your constant input. Kindly help disseminate this thread amongst guys out there (in russia) expecially the guys in Preparatory faculty (PodFak) and year 1 in order for them to share their experience while processing the scholarship This will help prospective scholars benefit and put them on track on how to go about it. I am trying my best but unforunately I went through this process over a decade and a lot has changed.
Where are you studying? and what? Just give an overview of yourself as a motivation for people on the thread.
Regards.

I just want to commend BayoAA, he is doing a great job here. If we have more Nigerians like him, Nigeria will be a far better place. He is an inspiration to me.
I'll try my best to bring more guys in PodFak to this thread, unfortunately, there are no first year students students in my city.
Like I said earlier, I'm in second year, studying Computer Technology and Production, in Volgograd, Russian Federation. I came to Russia in Dec, 2010. Learnt the language for about 6 months(it's supposed to be for 9 months), before proceeding to my main course.
I got the info about the scholarship scheme from a friend and decided to apply. Believe me, I knew nobody in FSB. I just applied, wrote the test in March and was called around June/July, 2010. Most prospective applicants think that the whole process is influenced by the Nigerian(bribery, tribalism, etc). But it's not so. I did not know any director or senator before applying and the only money I spent were for my own personal expenses(attestation of results, international passport, etc), every other expenses like visa application and air ticket is handled by FSB.
So, forget about the Nigerian factor. It is worth a shot. Just pray and try.

Davo93: Hello Ethical please drop your e-mail, i will like to ask you some things. Am one of the applicants this year. Thanks

...

lanwo: Plz i had all b's in my O'level result,and i want to study aeronautic engineering,do i get a chance to,and dat wat are d kind of questions,been asked in d appitude test

somtiano2: Pls is d referals compulsory?

everything is necessary.

masteb: @Bayo About the medical certificate in a state hospital, I was told that HIV/Aids result will only be giving to you Orally(not Writing). Is that true everywhere?Also checking through the website, there is a place they made mention of Yellow fever which is not indicate on the requirement.What do u think about that? If possible tell me more about necessary documents.Thank you

it's not true. you should be given a medical document showing your HIV status from a government hospital. the yellow fever certificate can wait till when you're picked, it is not necessary at this point.
I'm presently a second year university student in Russia.
