cutelekush01: Mine wasnt via email but during the application process...1Prof,1Dr and a family Lawyer...Is that ok? do you have an idea of the one during the application process?

Sir, we are saying the same thing. Everyone sends LOR during application. Better put: 1.Your school could say you should send the LORs yourself( through email or postage). 2. The application portal could generate a unique link for each of your recommender. 3. They could also send it to the admission office email.

To my understanding, a family lawyer might not suffice only if you are intending to major in law and of which, you must have worked in that lawyers chamber or something. I could be wrong. Why not talk to the admission coordinator of your intended program on that?

cutelekush01: Nice to hear that bro..me dey fear oo because its been long i finished school though my surname ring bell..Do i need to keep calling them to be expecting mail from my intend school? how long does it take to receive a mail from the school? I need your response bro

In your case, calling them won't be bad. Knowing when it gets to the school is actually and issue of how you sent it. If you have been told to send to a given email, that should be delivered in a couple of minutes. If through mail, then your choice of posting becomes a factor in telling when your LOR will get to intended school(s).

So they have turned into puppets? Oh Nigerian police! No one would doubt whether they acted it well or not, they are by training a dramatic set of people. Always full of drama. sad

With all this big deal about marriage proposals these days, I hope someone would not contact Book Haram to surprise his spouse. Meanwhile, may the budding union last.

bbdd: Guys please I need advice.

My department has promised to fund all applicants with Graduate assistantships.
However when I completed my application to the graduate school, the international admissions specialist said i should submit a statement of financial backing before he can admit me and forward my file to the department for approval. I don't have the money stated on the form.

Now I emailed my departmental chair about this problem and he said I don't need to submit a bank statement and that all I need to do is sign the empty form and return it back to the graduate school.

Now the guy in graduate school is insisting on the bank statement while my department is insisting I don't need it.

I don't know what to do now to clarify this matter. I'm tired of mailing the grad school guy. Its as if I'm disturbing the guy.

Guys please what steps should I take.
Thanks for any input.

We are on the same page. You just have to get it, man. 2 days ago, before my dad accepted, he was like, "Dude, are you kidding me?! This is huge!" I later explained to him that all I have to do is maintain a good standing.

Bro, talk to people.

ebdib: hmmmm... nice
will check it out on amazon.
It better be a good read..or i'll throw you a stone from across the atlantic.

Truth is that it is a difficult-to-understand book. It is a challenging book. If you read 15 pages without dropping it, then your IQ is outta this world. grin

James Joyce is basically a difficult but imaginative writer. grin

I'm challenging you. grin

Good to know you read! I have a soft spot for classics.

Education › Re: World’s 10 Highest IQ Holders by godG: 8:12pm On Sep 15, 2014

ebdib: I haven't read the silmarillion but reviews about it are pretty good.
Anyway here's my point. Martin had some referrals to Tolkien's works.
For example in the lord of the rings. The popular language was sindarin. Which Tolkien even devised as am artificial language and gave it words, structure and what not. Now look to ASOIAF and you'd see the same with valerian.

Its hard not to see why a contemporary modern reader wouldn't prefer martin's works.
Easier language
A more gory plot. (think ethics in 1920's Vs now)
More sexual innuendos

And then again
Tolkien is notorious for his circuitousness and verbosity. He goes round and round the flimsiests points so he needed a good adapter who could seive the wheat from the chaff. Here comes Jackson.

Tolkien, no doubt, is a brilliant writer I admire. But for me, James Joyce walks tall in the league of brilliant word weavers. Bro, get a copy of Finnegan's Wake and see what we are saying!

You can't register for it online from Nigeria and I doubt if it can be done by proxy. Worry not, from Nigeria, you can still register via phone after creating an account on the site. Check through my posts, you should see where I quoted bigfrancis21 on how to do the phone registration.

Romance › Re: Ladies And Their Greenlight Tactics by godG: 8:01pm On Sep 11, 2014*

Me I be fool once o. Yes.

There was this charming, kind, brilliant, and loving lady I had in school. One of the few ladies that changed my thoughts about things. We were close in part 1 but school happened and we didn't have time for each other again.

Here is the issue:

Fast forward. Part 3. She complained a lot that I didn't call her again; that I wasn't who I was and that I "used to be nice and lovely." In part 3, we talked it out and we started getting along like we used to. She would call me, told me EVERYTHING about herself and we had hangouts. Those that attended Ife can understand. Despite all these, I was like, "we are just friends." My bad roommates sensed her green lights and they were like, "Guy, you dey dull yourself, which other greenlight did you want?" Still, I was like we were just friends.

Part 4. She requested to be my dinner date and I obliged. She didn't even talk about money. She paid for hers, I paid mine. She was kind enough to take care of the tie I knotted. Before the dinner, we were already the gist in class. And I was always like "nothing dey, guys." Choi, my enemies!

Few nights to the dinner, based on what people were saying, she asked why we weren't dating and I was like "aren't we cool like this?" She told me a story of her friend who had a similar experience with a guy "just
like you and I" and how the guy "broke up" with the girl telling her that "I never asked you out." I got to my room in Awo and told my roommates only for them to curse and abuse me till daybreak. One of them was like, "Guy, make baba do this parol na since you be fool." After finals, we had wonderful moments together she did the spending at times.

After leaving Ife, like a few weeks later, she called to tell me she would be saying 'yes' to a guy she told me about then. That day, it was as if a spell was removed from me. I couldn't even cry because I knew I didn't deserve her heart. She is still dating the guy and my elder and younger sister, till today, ask about her. sad

You check for the greenlights. You need not tell me, I was foolish.

I only take solace in the good moments we had.

***please, excuse all typos.

Joenice: What he meant probably was Nigeria is still undeveloped. Truly Nigeria is really lagging behind. The country ought to be among the top 5, if not the best. My parents used to tell me how Nigeria was in 60s, 70s and earrly 80s. Then I became sad. I love Nigeria but we shouldn't be blind all because of love. Indeed, Nigeria was a great country but it seems like things have fallen apart now. The present government is trying their best but there's nothing they could do to bring the country back to life. Only united will stand.

My brother, it is sad. Yes, we shouldn't be blind to the woes plaguing pur nation. Personally, on our societal happenings, I have written countless sociopolitical pieces that got published in the dailies.

My point is that whenever we cry, we see. We should not let our sadness override that feeling of joy and hope even in sadness. The unfortunate thing is that Nigerian youths are not helping matter.

ferdimako: educated with more easier?

Mr. ferdimako, I quite understand your views. I have been following your posts for some time now, sir. You are indeed patriotic albeit, in some funny way. Sir, pardon me, you seem to be so full of hate about Nigeria. Indeed, it's normal for a sane being to feel the same way considering the many ills in our land. But, I have a question for you, sir: Since 1966, what have we achieved with our rants as Nigerians?

Nigerians are the funniest set of beings God created. If indeed you want change in the country, it is not by trying to make those who are seeking 'greener pastures' your targets. The way we see things are different. Left to me, folks who have interacted with me know that if I had my way, I wouldn't even think of traveling out of this country.

However, consider this: as a graduate student, won't it be insane for me to neglect an offer to be studying while being paid than to accept an offer of studying while still dependent on my parents? For some of us, 'yankee' is not the final destination, only a means to an end.

Please, let us direct our criticisms to the right quarters. Below are the handles of some men that are close to the seat of power. Tweet at them:
