Congrats, bro! May it be the dawn of glorious things. And here is wishing you a happy birthday. May the rest of your life be glorious than your past.

Jungle justice is bestial. But then isn't it even terrible that someone would think of robbing other people? Yet, our judicial system isn't always a refuge in times of need. It's complicated.

Richiy:
Good morning everyone. I have gone through the pages here and I have to admit I find them very informative. I want to apply for a master's degree program in the University of Massachusetts and Bridgewater State university. I am studying to take GRE but, for the course I want to apply for (professional writing) , they said MAT is more preferable. I checked online to see if there are MAT centers in Nigeria but I can't seem to find any.

I would like to know if anyone has taken that particular test here or I should just continue with GRE plans.

If anyone here is around the schools I want to apply, please notify me.

If anyone has any advice, please feel free.

Hello,

You are on the right path. Please, if I may ask, why those schools? Instead of circumscribing yourself, why not look at other schools that will take GRE from you. See, the idea of MAT is somehow - at least, to me.

Even for your course, most schools would suggest you write subjects-based GRE instead of MAT. I am saying this because I am familiar with your terrain - a graduate of English.

Ma, your chances are limited with what you have here. Don't let it be. In fact, there are schools that have Professional Writing as a major in their Department of English and all they want is your GRE. Consider this.

To cap it:

On one hand, if you are going ahead with your GRE plans, great. On the other hand, if you are going with the schools requirement, fine. Just give your all to whichever one suits you.

I wish you well.

Hi NL, I have been following this thread for so long. My question here is, I don't have parents anymore and I will be done with my nysc by july. Please how do I go about the sponsor thing. I have 2.0m in my acct burr I'm not sure that would be enough. Before u start asking how the money came! It's inheritance. Pls how do I go about the sponsor. I also don't have any uncle or relatives who can sponsor me. Thanks all

Hello Jaga,

Glad your orphanhood isn't affecting your ability to dream and congrats in advance for the successful completion of your service year. May you find the challenges ahead bearable.

To your question, how about you talking to a few people where you are presently. They could help. If none is willing to, I believe you can also find a way of legitimately increasing that balance with a few amount.

Sir, I want to believe there are schools that will give you admission with that balance. They might be very few though, but you can search and try your hands on some of them.

Significantly, your best bet now is to get an offer of admission with finding. Anything otherwise is a NO. With your 2m and a full funding, something pleasant could happen. May the odds be in your favor.

Webstradamus actually.

Thanks, Biggie.

I dont operate selfstudy360@gmail.com and i dont remember who does. Whoever operates selfstudy360 deserves alot of commendation. It was the absence of some recent materials that led to my creating selfstudy.version2@gmail.com. . Both mails are still fully functional. Whoever did not receive a response should check his/her spam folder. Most times, you will find the response mail there.

Webstradimus. I hope say I still get the spelling. Wherever you are in the US, God bless you.

And of course, you too. For operating the alternative.

slimmy05:
Hope you've settled the accommodation

Yes o. Albeit, partially. Going by your tip. I want to chill till I get my traveling itinerary before putting pressure on dem African Students. I have been told to chill till I enter.

Tentatively before getting things sorted out by my African brothers , I will stay with an American family for a week or so. No vex say I never update you jare. How ur PhD shots coming up?

gik56:
Goodafternoon house, i must... the VO sees am stating something different from what he sees on the I20 which is Agriculture, Agriculture Operations. I just need clearification. Thank you Sirs.......PLEASE SIRS I NEED MORE ANSWERS!

You need not worry. I graduated from a department with two different majors in Ife. Yet, our admission letters read same thing. You will be fine.

Well, for the purpose of the VO, you might as well explain what your admission officer told you. However, getting to print the correspondences won't be a bad idea. I suggest that, please.

Importantly, you should know that you are the one that will determine the course of the interview. If the VO asks you what you have been admitted for, tell him/her you desired course and that it's just a school policy to write that on the I20. You are fine.

Hakuna matata.

Crazy generation. Fake humans. Disobliging. Impatient. Tah!

At Samonda. You don't need much to identify a Lagos guy.

Congrats to him & hopes he invests meaningfully

Trust me, he will. This won't be his first time of winning something like this. Smart dude!

I'm proud of you, Sayo! I have got great friends. We all are good in our fields!

imperiouxx:
Thanks. What's good with your application?

Got a Fulbright FLTA grant. University of Wisconsin, Madison. Hoping to use that as a stepping stone.

imperiouxx:
Been fine godG. Trying to survive. Everything in life is step.

Keep holding on. God will take care of you, sir.

bbdd:

Stewee:
Pele!
I was back to normal by the 5th day.
Just rest, eat well and drink plenty fluids. I only took PCM for the feverish feeling.

You'll be fine, don't worry!

Thanks, brother.

zeezahbee:
Why una like to dey stress. That thing is crazy. U can just get a report anyhow

Me just feel say make I kuma do am ni. No be seresere o. The thing knock me down!

imperiouxx:
If you took DPT, the "T" (tetanus vaccine) included weakens joints and all types of muscle in the body.... a crazy vaccine.

I took it last year and everything turns weak and vision blurred for 4 hours. As a kid, I got Edema from the same tetanus vaccine.

Very crazy! Funny enough, the first dose I took wasn't as bad as this. How have you been, egbon to sure?

DARKLIGHT:
Thanks, boss! But the bolded part is scaring. So MMR and Meningitis shots are that expensive?

At Jaja inside UI, Ibadan, e no go reach 3k and u are done. A friend got his there.

Stewee:
To do the TB test (Mantoux skin test)in Luth, go to WARD D4(it's the last floor of the children's ward).

If you've taken these vaccines within the past 10years then you really don't need to take another shot. I took those vaccines and felt sick almost immediately and it lasted for a few days. That's gonna cost you N1000.

Bros, abeg, like how many days? I took DPT yesterday and I have been sick almost immediately after. Couldn't even sleep. I no even fit chop this morning. I never comot bed sef.

.

Oh Beautiful People, any University of Wisconsin, Madison, bound folk in the house?

imperiouxx:
I dey, how are you and what next?

I'm doing great, sir. Na University of Wisconsin, Madison, be the next o. #Fulbright

bbdd:
Where is godG?

Sure Brother! Thanks for checking-up. I kuma dey o. Just that I have been busy lately. Storming Carrington soon to collect my visa. Not F1 tho. How have you been na?

Meanwhile, if anyone sees any or both of MsNas and Imperiouxx on here, on my behalf, tell them it's been ages. I hope you are doing great.

Those are two of the many sure people here.

Alexisu:
Magaji Dan Yamusa camp. Keffi.

Was there 13A.

Get well platoon 4 leader

That camp is probably one of the toughest in the country when you are talking about drills. The 177 Guards Battalion in Keffi doesn't not make it a nice place to camp. Something should be done. Was there, 14A. Funny enough, I was Platoon 4 leader too.

She has a good point. But can't she make her point without calling them silly ni? It's actually easy to criticise in the comfort of your mansion. Our problems in Nigeria transcends what these celebs are thinking it to be.

We have misplaced our communal ethos long ago. Indeed, #ThereWasACountry. Out founding fathers saw a vision of a nation united by love but see where we are. To think Father Nnamdi Azikwe named his son Bamidele points to how ambitious and purpose-driven our fathers were.

Here we are, some Yorubas will be abusing the Igbos and Igbos abusing Yorubas on Nairaland. Sad. We need recalibration in this country!
