Same reason Muslims don't come out in Ebonyi state.

Are u ok?

Is Osun and Ebonyi similar....

To say that a muslim be governor in Ebonyi is to say Christian be governor in Katsina...

Osun has roighly equal composition...

I am in need of a Self Contain room on Ikorodu road anywhere from around Ketu to Yaba.

I will be mostly interested if the person is leaving the house to another place (No agreement and Commission).

I will mostly appreciate it as I have limited resources for this.

Thanks in anticipation.

fxjunkie:
How could the security detail of a sitting governor be withdrawn? Nigeria is in darkness.

It baffles me too.

otokx:
The few security details he has is okay for now. I'm surprised the monarch did not advice him to pay the workers salaries.

Where did you see the few. He is still the Governor. Why are we like this? supporting evil and impunity just because of side we belong to.

If the cooking aspect is the only problem you have with her,
why not gradually teach her to become a better cook.

This should be the solution

GavelSlam:
We know this Mr. President.

30 thousand people died from conflict between Fulani Herdsmen and their neighbours but nobody ever suggested Jonathan was trying to wipe out Fulani or Muslims.

It's a shame that those who profess Christianity today are champions of murder, lies and treachery.

Very much against the teachings of Christ.

shut up your mouth.Which teaching of Christ do you know? Which 30, 000 people? When was there fulani herdsmen crisis like this during last administration.

They will always have lies to defend his ineptitude.

Action speaks more than voice.

imperiouxx:
If you ask them, they will get your application and tell you the reasons you were denied. PA and Medical schools do have lots of reapplicants. After telling you, you can then work towards that in the next cycle.

Thanks. I have contacted two (2) of them. Both responded saying almost the same thing. This is Michigan's reply to my enquiry:

Although you are a high achieving student, there were various conditions, out of your control, that unavoidably affected our admission decision. Regrettably, there was not a match between your experience/skills and our faculty's needs at this time. In addition, there was limited funding available for our faculty's research programs.

GRE QUANT TIPS
1.In Quantitative Comparison questions, try numbers in this order: 0,1,2,-2,1/2. I learned this from NOVA GRE book. It works just fine.
2.Quantitative Comparison questions are half of a GRE Quant section (10 in number).

Nice Post. Typing all these self naa work...

doctokwus:
A so called pastor in a church.
The G. O. should either distance Deeper life from Femi's repeated rubbish utterances or even get him derobed as a pastor or the church continues losing membership.
No decent Christian would like to be associated with the same church as that with Adeshina as a pastor.

I dont get you. He does not attend Deeper Life!

DonDemu:
How sure are we the killers are fulani heardsmen and not the Birom Christians. Did they leave any letter stating they were fulani or was there an eye witness? Stupid sensational journalism.

Miyetti Allah did not say they didnot do it. Stop this stupidity.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to end extreme poverty by 2030 is unlikely to be met—no thanks, in large part, to Nigeria.

A new report by The World Poverty Clock shows Nigeria has overtaken India as the country with the most extreme poor people in the world. India has a population seven times larger than Nigeria’s. The struggle to lift more citizens out of extreme poverty is an indictment on successive Nigerian governments which have mismanaged the country’s vast oil riches through incompetence and corruption. The 86.9 million Nigerians now living in extreme poverty represents nearly 50% of its estimated 180 million population. As Nigeria faces a major population boom—it will become the world’s third largest country by 2050—it’s a problem will likely worsen. But having large swathes of people still living in extreme poverty is an Africa-wide problem.

Crucially, of those countries in top ten, only Ethiopia is on track to meet the United Nations’ SDG of ending extreme poverty by 2030. Outside the top ten, only Ghana and Mauritania are also on track with the SDG target. Indeed, of the 15 countries across the world where extreme poverty is rising per World Poverty Clock data, 13 are currently in Africa.

As a consequence, the mission to end extreme poverty globally is already at risk. By July 2018, 83 million people would have been lifted out of extreme poverty since January 2016—but the number is 37 million people fewer than the required to meet the 2030 target.



No Country Percentage of population in extreme poverty SDG1 status

1 Nigeria 46.7 Poverty rising
2 Democratic Republic of Congo 77 Poverty rising
3. Ethiopia 23.4 On track
4 Tanzania 35 Off track
5 Mozambique 61.8 Off track
6 Kenya 30 Off track
7 Uganda 34.2 Off track
8 South Africa 24.6 Off track
9 South Sudan 93 Poverty rising
10 Zambia 57.2 Poverty rising

He made a mistake alright... Don't rub it on his face
It can happen to anybody... It's still happening to people now on the forum...

Yoruba Christians need to wake up and smell the coffee.
The jihad is real... Over 200 Christians killed and nothing happens... Just one herdsman was killed in self defense and people were sentenced to death...
MURIC issued a statement that they must die... Where is Muric today?

We Christians need to wake up!

The sleep is deep.

Fakemiracle:
I am a hawker I hawk foam to clean car glass. On Friday this week a man met me that he will like me to do business for him. He said I should not fear he is not a 419. He then paid for all my foam and took me to a restaurant.
He said he just want me to come and act for a fake miracle in a church in Abakaliki. That they will make me up as if I have serious leprosy. He then promised to pay me 300k after the acting. but once I come to Enugu he will give me 100k. Then month end after the prayer when I come for testimony he will give me 200k. I can go and start a business if I want.
.
My friends I will not mention the church for now. Am to follow him on Saturday to the church for the makeup. Am seriously thinking. Guys should I go.? Will they kill me? Will God be angry with me? Please advice. We are moving on Saturday against Sunday.
Should I do this.

Dont believe your story!

However if true, u already said it is evil and you want to do it.

Dont dare God by taking His name in vain by saying he did what He didnot do.

babisho:
Dear Chidinho10,

First, I commend you for the many good works you are doing on this thread. You take time to answer questions and clarify issues. Well done.

I would suggest however that you be a little more weary before you make assertions as they may sometimes be misleading.

Let us look at the case in question. How can u confidently tell the poster not to reapply to schools that rejected him as some schools view rejected applicants somehow. How can you have that information? Are you privy to the admission process of the schools that he applied to? Do you categorically know why he was rejected? (Perhaps they thought his GRE quants score wasn't competitive enough? Or his PhD proposal wasn't good/clear enough? Or his letters of recommendation weren't glowing enough? Or maybe they couldn't find any faculty with interest in his proposed area of research? Or they were looking for someone with a bit more research experience? Or maybe this year was just particularly competitive and in other years he would have gotten in but the competition was just stiff for limited spaces available? Or any other reason you can come up with). If he finds out why they rejected him and he is able to improve his profile, isn't it possible that he may get in if he reapplies ?

What a contribution too! I didn't really think of asking for a feedback from the admission office though Michigan said something like

'Despite your great academic potential demonstrated in your application, we are forced to make this difficult decision to meet our capacity to educate and train students in our program while experiencing an unprecedentedly large number of applications to our graduate program. We feel sorry that such a competitive admission process prohibits us from accepting many highly qualified applicants to our program. '

By the way, Congrats on your Harvard admission. May I ask what your discipline is?

ClassRep001:
Maybe these guys killed went to burn down some mosques located in Jos.

If they were responsible for the burnt mosques and Korans, then they just got served. If they weren't, then be sure this crime was carried out by the Afonjas and Igbos just to paint the Fulanis as evil people.

Why are you people like this...

People coming from a function.... and you are happy saying they just got served.

Remember these are human beings not Cows that you people slaughter anyhow...

But this has closed even for 2019 admission.

femi312:
First don't be too hard on yourself, life happens. Do you have a masters degree? Do you have research experience? Did you have any contact with any faculty prior to applying? The sad truth is, even with a GRE score of 320, you can still be rejected from Top 10 schools if you apply to all. PhD admission is extremely competitive and I admire your ambition for choosing those schools but you need to have a good spread of schools up to top 60 in your field. However, you cant be applying for PhD a day to deadlines, you need to apply way before deadline preferably ending of Nov. Applying very early helps in some cases.

As regards your SOP, you need more than 'ok' SOP to stand a better chance, you should send your SOP to people to help you review. You need to have a great SOP coupled with great LOR.

For fall 2019, look at University of Kansas, Kansas state University, University of Maryland college park, University of Pittsburgh,Northwestern (There is a young Nigerian prof in the Mechanical department, you can talk to him) and others. By the way if you have the luxury of time and money, you can consider re-writing the GRE to get >320. However if not, just apply to schools between 20 - 60 in the mechanical engineering ranking (If you don't have the ranking, I can send it to you). You need to understand that some crazy Chinese and Indians are applying to those same top 10 schools with near perfect GRE scores, research papers and experience. Try to apply to at least 6 schools (2 Top 20, 3 between 20 and 60) and 1 in the last range and not just 3 schools). Do an extensive research on each school you decide to apply to, go on LinkedIn, connect with international students in the school and ask questions about funding and prospect of getting a direct PhD offer. Make the graduate coordinator your friend, ask questions and be explicit. Search Nairaland to see people who have gotten PhD admission with funding and look up such schools. Getting Phd admission and funding is like looking for a job, you have to give it all

Thanks for the response. I however do not have a Masters. I will look up the schools mentioned.

Good day everyone. I need sincere advice from people with more experience here.

I applied for PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics option) at up to five (5) different schools for this Fall 2018 in US.
However none granted me admission except one with no funding. I declined the offer.

I have a first class degree in Mechanical Engineering.My GRE score is Verbal-151 Quantitative-160. Total 311.
My SOP should be ok in comparison to others.

The only shortcoming of my application that i know of is that most were submitted on the deadline dates due to some challenges I faced then. Could only this be the reason for not getting funding?

Also other factor that might have affected me is that most of them were top schools including: University of Southern California, University of Michigan Ann-Arbor and Texas A & M College Station.

I need your advice as I am planning to apply for Fall 2019. Also which likely schools have higher probability of admission and funding?

Thanks in advance.

I heard second list go come out once the schools are done with admissions.��

How true is this?

vedaxcool:
I think it is not a good idea to put BH ex members in the police, they should be thoughtful fish farming and other means of sustenance. But knowing CAN perchant for lies, false alarms and outright farbrications, I strongly doubt this news just like the Arabic exams at the police force recruitment, which turned out to be CAN illiterate incapability to reason appropriately.

On religionizing criminals, once again CAN shows it protects murderers and gives conditions on which they can be punished, murderers are now members of CAN who require them organising press briefing to protect them. They are not demanding the murderers case should be reviewed but should their punishment should not be implemented until Muslim murderers have been caught. We expect less from a corrupt body that collected money meant for defeating BH.

You must be the most stupid person to live.

Where were you when the same herdsmen were busy killing innocent people in their farms and settlement.

They even posted wearing their choir robe and desecrating their mucical instrument.

Even captured ones were paid by el rufai to stop instead of being punished.

Fulani herdsmen that have killed thousand walks free and one who killed one sentenced to death.

Honestly what you are looking for un this country situation nobody will be able to control.

Killed the bloody fulani herdsmen first before killing this ones.

pro chancellor and chancellor are the same thing

No!

Pro- Chancellor is the chairman of governing council in which the VC is a member of.

Chancellor as it has been said is a mere ceremonial position.

Happy Birthday Sir.
More unction to function.
More anointing too. Amen.
