Meet Miss Chinelo Okafor the BEST GRADUATING STUDENT (FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCE) UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA.

She graduated with a 1st class in the department of Medical Rehabilitation University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus.

She is also the Best graduating student in the Faculty of Health Science.

Clerverly:
You are partly right...But the transition must be gradual in order not to overheat the fragile unity of the country...No matter how you look at at it Nigeria is still more or less a tripod stand...so allowing the Northerner to hold on to power for 12 years is tantamount to asking for the break up of the country...

Consequently no matter the little short comings from Buhari, he is much an upgrade from the ineffectual Buffoon called Jonathan. What the south needs to do now, is start to start grooming a competent and intelligent candidate who will take over from Buhari in 2023

God forbid that buhari should remain the president till 2023 shame on u poster

If you're in Lagos or Abuja I think the better option would be to register with B.Y Mafit cos of the free lectures. Worked for me.

Please what is their web address ?
I'm in Enugu

Scholastica16:
cc ponpon, your attention is needed.

Please can I have his number or email address ?

Please help me register gre

Scholastica16:
How did you think of paying for it before? Are you paying via PayPal or an agent?

The answer to the question is important as Walspring's offer which helped subsidize GRE payments to 37k has elapsed. But there are others on here that can do it for 45 or 50k depending on you which of them you are willing to trust.

Please connect me to a trusted agent.

Help! Help!! Help!!!
GRE is next tomorrow. I have taken a good number of full length practice tests. 3 marks short of my target composite score is d best I have achieved. Powerprep scores are 5-7 marks below the target scores. While the verbal is improving with RC my major problem is silly mistakes I make in Quantitative Reasoning. After doing the hard part of breaking problems down I just blow it by making mistakes like leaving out - negative sign or something. I am just kinda not comfortable.


Kindly advise on what I may do at this eleventh hour. Thank you.

Please Bro send me the powerprep to chigozie.okafor@unn.edu.ng

So I took the GRE 28th of last month here in PH.
Results summary:
Verbal: 157
Quant: 160
AWA: 4

Shockingly, I scored exactly 317 on my second powerprep test 3 days to my test date. I was only able to increase my score by 7 points from my first diagnostic test. Anyway, it was only God who helped me pull through because after totally breaking down for two weeks and getting better two weeks to test date, I discovered that I've lost some things. I just couldn't answer some question types like inferences and logic. Hmm! Including mixing up some subtle maths concepts. OK... What did I do? I gave up on relearning anything. I made a decision to work on my speed and tested that with the 2nd powerprep test. In the end, I scored 156 in verbal and 161 in Quant. While reviewing, I found out that most of my first gueses that I changed in the verbal were actually right (but I always have the challenge and fell for three trap in the actual test). In the quant I got all 20 questions right in the first session and 15/20 in the 2nd.
I had a funny run down to the test.

But my advice...
1. Please try as much as possible to eat something (my first mistake)
2. Take any medication you have to take for any challenge or pains (I went with my drugs but couldn't take them cos of doctor's warning not to take the medication without food)
3. Get as much water (I had finished 2 sachet and almost 1 Eva bottle before check in. Had to beg them to let me go outside the gate to get more water)
4. Pray it doesn't rain all day... Lol
5. Try to be as fast as possible. I was able to go through and review all my verbal answers with speed. I had 3 quant sessions. In two of them, I had 5 and 3 mins left respectively to review my responses and I was sure of not failing more than 1-2 questions per session. For one of the quant sessions, my time expired just before I will submit the answer to number 20 so no time to even review the questions I marked.
Finally, village people almost entered the hall but God pass them. I was noticeably the only one with challenges. Back pains and general body weakness that I'll always rest flat on the desk every second I had to rest before and during the test. My system froze like 4 times during my last two quant sessions. The system was restarted, I was logged back on and the next time it will freeze the screen displayed an Error message so they had to assign a new system.
But when I saw my final scores I was just laughing and smiling. God pass them.

Anyway....

frostsc:
First off, I wish to thank everyone who has posted and commented in one capacity or the other on this forum. Without you, this would not have been a reality. I stumbled on this forum by chance and at which time, I knew nothing about the GRE or study abroad. Of course I knew that people do study abroad, but I was not too cognitive of the process and all until I got here and was inspired by the various success stories.

Like my fore fathers here, I registered with B.Y Mafit and that was the singular wise choice I made cos everything revolves around them. I attended the free TOEFL and Free GRE classes. Got the Magoosh account, Kaplan Text, Official Guide and other materials given during lectures and group studies. Took the TOEFL classes for a month and the GRE classes for 6 weeks. Though free, they were very very vigorous. Wrote the TOEFL first. I'll share that experience another time since this is a GRE forum. I scored 110 though (There was a guy at Mafit who scored 115. Couldn't beat that target ). I did not read lots of textbooks. I just used the classes as my main study and did the additional practice recommended by our instructor (Enitan). Since that worked, I decided to use that principle for the GRE and it worked as well.

Wrote my GRE amidst lots of tension. The night before, I could not sleep. God punish tension . Had running stomach on the day of the exam and I started reciting all the psalms I could munster. . Was great though. The group discussions at Mafit helped, as we were fond of dealing with very difficult analytical questions. My advice is that while preparing, do not scratch the surface. Go really really deep. The more complex questions you tackle, the faster it would be to tackle the easier ones. Also, be true and sincere with yourself. For me, after I registered with BY Mafit, I didnt pick a date till I was well into the lectures and knew exactly what time I needed to be fully ready.

At the end, I scored 164 on the verbal and 162 on the quant. I know of a guy at Mafit (Dada) who scored 166 and 158 respectively. I already mailed my school and I was told I have the chances of getting full funding. I have sent other documents to them prior to this.

Once again, thank you all for helping nudge me in the right path. Now lets wait for the final decision on funding and start fasting so the VO will be nice . I sent this to Mafit to post but I guess they didn't so I had to sign up to post it myself. My advice for everyone would be to be focused and have a clear target and pursue it vigorously. Also, set aside everything to focus on this. It means a lot and it could change your life story.

Please which school did you apply to ?

Also could you please send me the materials you used for your gre prep to Chigozie.okafor@unn.edu thanks bro

Scholastica16:
You always came back. I wish you all the best. Sometimes, that is all a man needs.

Cheers.

Please how can I subsidize my gre payments ?

Please help me. Thanks

Epithet:
So I had my GRE today at Galaxy Uniprep Abuja. Please note my post is a bit weird relative of the typical GRE experience. I decided to take the GRE sometime last year searched online and saw this forum, I was inspired by great scores here to all my bosses I hail.

Now to my experience I paid for my GRE around August with walspring's GRE discount Boss I'm definitely grateful for this. Preparation became intense after that though I had gone through a few materials sometime last year I had to revisit each one. I used the Manhattan 8 Series Great Book for Quant, and the Princeton review for Verbal Scholastica16 recommended this, thanks Boss it was helpful. I had gone through the Ets material both quant and verbal before I paid for the exam so I decided to delve into other resources. I watched the magoosh premium videos, those I could get my hands on twice. I definitely recommend that also, for the lesson videos I only went through relevant math topics I had issues with, combination, probability and counting and word problems.

Forward to a month before my exam I systemically went through the Manhattan flash cards the quant was extremely useful the verbal on the other hand had a plethora of words though they may not exactly be GRE esque. You might want to revise well, I think I revised each material I read well like twice or thrice for the ets materials.

I tool the powerprep II and the ets paper test in the week leading to my test, scores were within the range of 325-332, let me chime in here the quant in paper section seemed to easy I didn't have any problem with all question except 1, while I made a few mistakes in the power prep.

Exam day, I consider myself a staid person, so I was pretty relaxed maybe too relaxed, after check in procedures that took almost an hour. The essays were easy to tackle, I had VQVQV the quants didn't seem as hard as I expected maybe the Manhattan prep had raised my level, I guess I made a few mistakes though because I expected a better quant score. Reported my scores 162V 164Q 326, maybe I used easy a lot in my post don't mind me, and surprisingly after the exams I was not tired. Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this story and if you haven't gone through the forum from page 1 until date you're missing a lot of valuable information.

Sent my scores to four schools
Purdue, Pennstate, Louisiana state university and University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Pidgin2:
I have left the shores of Naija several times , no where is perfect. I don't know why we youths hardly read history, Nigeria was great before, it's humans like you and I that used selfishness and greed to covert her wealth for evil purposes. Instead of criticising the country why not profer solutions when and where you can.

I still stand by my opinion, the action of the Japanese government on this issue is a monumental waste of tax payers money

That you have been to kotonu or ghana doesn't mean you have travelled.

Pidgin2:
I am unwaveringly patriotic yet I had no trains waiting to take me to school everyday, trekking to school with friends was a nice bonding experience and good for my health. This train, carrying only one passenger daily is a monumental waste and will cost tax payers heavily. They can save cost by getting her a mini school bus or she can be home schooled if the terrain is too bad to commute. People like you can never see anything good about Nigeria, we deserve the type of leaders we have.

Are you more intelligent than the Japanese government?

This is a very stupid comment from you

Nice one. What about tips for relocating to Canada ?

Drinkwater07:
In a dilemma right now, please those experienced in these kind of issues should help me.

I lost my Job at the Nigerian Breweries Last year, While I was working I made up my mind to marry my girlfriend of about 4 years now, this December. Both of us are 30 already, we are so much in love, but my job lost really hampered our marriage plans, because she is just engaged in the Npower scheme now and my cash that I saved have long almost finished right now. The reason I did not go into business with the little money I have at that time about 400k was that My elder brother in Canada promised to send me to Canada to join there. So far he have helped me secure admission for MSc. and payed my full tuition fee and even credited my account for the maintenance which the visa officers will see in my account. He also has the plans of sponsoring me through PHD also in Canada or the UK if I want. Now as I await my Visa, there is a really big issue I am fighting right now to manage.

My brother warned me to forget about any girl I have here in Nigeria, that most of them are fair weather friends, gold diggers and desperados, and that if I have anybody here in Nigeria waiting for me while I am away, that it will be a huge distraction for me. He told me he is speaking out of experience and won't want anybody to distract me while studying and hustling abroad. My girl is definitely none of what he described, she is a very good person and is never after money, She just love so much. I told him that I don't have anybody, This is to avoid him withdrawing his financial support for me or may be doubting my seriousness to succeed.

I was planning to come back and get married to my baby after my MSc, but I don't know how my brother will see it. He will be so disappointed with me, I hold my brother in so much high regard, and right from when I was a child he usually protects me so well and doesn't want anything to hamper my success, I love my girl so much, she is everything you will want in any woman. If I don't marry her I don't think I will be happy with anyone else. None of them is aware of what is bothering. How will I solve this issue.

Msc is at the most two years in Canada...,

infact the distance will validate your love the more.

Go do your master & maintain a distance r/ship with your girl. work while schooling, safe some cash, work some more after graduation and come marry ur girl.

After securing a work visa she may join you & also start an academic program.

This is exactly what my brother whom i sponsored for MBA in a chinese university deed.
He's currently on PHD scholarship being top of his class hence the distance r/ship didn't distract him


All the best

louis44rhema:
I applied for a PhD directly. Firstly you need to check out the school web page and I know their requirements. For, university of Canterbury you need a supervisor first before you proceed for application because he/she must be part of the reviewer of your application process. What I did in mine was I checked for a supervisor that have the interest of research so I sent her a mail (email). It wasn't easy but check their recent publications and know what they have don't in terms of research innovation. Them suggest it and they might like it. So she/he might ask for your proposal which comprises of suggested title, Brief background, aim/objectives, material and methodology and reference.

Congratulations dear. Please I will be grateful if you will be kind enough to forward the proposal you sent to your supervisor so I can as well see how to prepare a PhD proposal as I'm also interested in a PhD in Civil Engineering. Thanks my mail is chigozie.okafor@unn.edu.ng
