Hahaha! During my training, a question came up on the screen...

"So you got an email from someone claiming to be a director in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, asking you forward some company details to him as there is a business agreement he wants both party to have..."

Of which everyone for the room know sey na Naija I come from....

Dem no born dem well make dem talk hehehehe....everybody just acted like nothing happened. But we could all sense the elephant in the room.

Same thing as when i was in a taxi one day, and the oap told a joke about an email he got from a Nigerian prince. I just carry my face go one side lol

Hahahaha, this is funny mehn. The NNPC question got me rolling on the floor, we are everywhere

memeguy:
How could you have lived in sheffield and not known this?

masperano:

jnrbanks:
@futuredon ..tnx boss for d insight... its gud to av a shu alumni in d haus...yea I get manchester uni ish thanks to Russell and co .

so pls telme ow d town is boss e.g job accessibility (if its industrialised), ow quiet it is, living expense, and ow reliable d schools career service is. . #ps am really not interested in d nite life so u can skip dat part.

tnx and nice to av u around

In my honest honest opinion, I wouldn't say that Sheffield is heavily industrialized, however I know a few people who were working as students back then, however getting a p/t or casual job can be hectic as first. The general advice is that one should have sufficient means for at least first 3 months post-arrival. It's not expensive and transport system is pretty good. I will skip the NightLife as advised, hahaha.

As for the career service, I think it depends on your intended course. I personally did not explore those options when I was at SHU as I wasn't looking to work post-study, however I did receive emails several times about career fairs et al. I guess I'm not in the best position to talk about career service, lol. Besides, I was not on the main campus. Na that other boring campus I dey and na students wey dey City campus get all the hot news for hand back then

Preciousstones:
Oga FutureDon himself season greetings

Hehehe, which one of the seasons ooo? Winter, Summer, Spring, Salah, Christmas or New year, lol..

jnrbanks:
@justwise, spike C etc... HELP!!!

owkay...now I've got ur attention . here's d drift please I need candid advice on which school to accept btw

a) Coventry University which is doing pretty gud amongst oda schools plus dey've got sum pretty career programs (such as d GLP and IEMS) dat will really benefit me. AND

b) Sheffield Hallam University which is also not bad in d ranking and they are giving me £3000 discount (Dats close to a million box ). plus its cost of living is cheaper dan Coventry.

Haha, that's a pretty decent offer bro, I wish I had such opportunity, lol. I would advise that you go for SHU. I would have advised otherwise if you are considering say, Uni of Manchester vs SHU, you get what I mean? I finished from SHU and I can assure you that it's a decent University. Study hard, get good grades and you are good to go.

As for me, my SHU degree (with se.xy grades) earned me some pretty decent PhD positions outside the United Kingdom. I'm a proud Alumnus

missakomaye:
Guy I have never heard where NYSC will defer the service year for two years especially since you have started the servoce year already. Except ofcourse the commandant is related to you. (I stand corrected though but it has never happened before. And if it has there must be a very good enuf reason.

Dav6:
@ ferdimako @bellong thanks a bunch...@ futuredon no comment en?lol

I had to read your post several times -- bros, your shorthand writing no be for here oo.

To the best of my understanding, DIBP is asking you to provide them with 2 letters from your employer. (i) to prove that you are truly working with them and, (ii) to confirm that you will be allowed to return to your current position, or another new job offer following the completion of your studies. I would like to think that such request by DIBP was triggered by what you had written on your SoP.

My advice - ask your employer to provide you with a letter confirming that you are actually working with them. To fulfill the second requirement, your employer also need to state the possibilities of returning to your job following the completion of your study. One letter should suffice for both requirements, however the wordings of the letter needs to be direct and assuring in order to convince your case officer. Additionally, you may also include your employment letter for your current position if you have it.

Good luck broda
