AAUA student copy didn't even show anything for me, the page was blank, i requested for the original copy for over a month and it hasn't come. But from what i read on the thread you might be able to do the interview without the transcript. Statement of result is allowed.

Thank you very much sir

Hello Everyone,
I received the mail that I’ve been shortlisted.
But the issue is that I currently have my statement of result (Not certificate), while my transcript is the student copy and it’s usually tiny to read (AAUA graduates will understand better)...Getting the original copy might take time,
Those who have experienced this should pls help me confirm if the student copy will be accepted!!! Thanks �

ComradeTY:
Has anyone from UK schools been shortlisted for the interview?


Or anybody in Ibadan center shortlisted already?

Yes boss

I presumed you were taught in Catholic church to abuse people on public forum. I also presumed your parent taught you to disrespect people too because your bible approves insults. I want to believe you are a Christian and you are taught to preach love not insults. Hence you just prove to the world how a Christian relates to his neighbours even your bible says you should love them. With this attitude of yours, you are not only piercing the heart of Jesus but sending asouls to hell by your behavior. Your bible explicitly said "let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven".

Oga, give an answer to my reaction

Please I beg you to collect an appointment letter before you start work... I am saying this from Experience, Where I served, I was asked to wait behind that they are working on my appointment letter. Well, EQ made me work for two months without an appointment letter... Only for them to tell me that they can’t retain me cos of financial issues... Well, that one nah sakamaje!!! I was asked to wait for those two months not because of appointment letter but it’s cos they had many projects at hand. And they need more hands to handle it... Well, I’ve moved on and Pls and pls collect ur appointment letter

Read that and come back here let’s argue!!! Olodo

chikachuks1:
The aim of this article is to explain why the Anglican Church celebrate ash Wednesday. Most times, Pentecostal churches tend to condemn and speak against almost every practice of the Orthodox Church. But I hope this article will be meaningful and in turn convince as many as possible, but for the doubting Thomas’s, I do not know what else to do. I can only talk of Anglican because of my Anglican background, but I will not be able to talk much about Catholics and other orthodox churches. Although they all celebrate this event, yet I will not be able to place the exact reason why they do it.

Ash Wednesday is celebrated in the Anglican Church to mark the beginning of lent. Lent is a period of fasting and prayer which is observed by all Anglicans worldwide. It is celebrated once in a year and it terminates with the celebration of Easter. The lenting period for the Anglican Church lasts for a period of 40 days but ash Wednesday is celebrated 46 days to Easter. The fasting lasts for 40 days because the number 40 is a unique number. Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and Moses also fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. Thus the Anglican Church fasts for 40 days. Many other churches fast for as long as they can or as short as they can. For example, RCCG fasted for 100 straight days in 2017 and 50 straight days in 2018, yet in July, they will also embark on another fasting for 30 days to complete 80 days fasting. Some other churches fast for the first 7 days of every year, some fast the last 7 days of every year, yet others fix their fast within the year. Islam fast 30 days to their sallah. Thus, the subject of fasting is not a new thing; neither did it originate from the Anglican Church. The lenting period occurs at a calculated time. As earlier stated, ash Wednesday occurs 46 days to Easter. The Anglican church do not fast on Sundays and as such, this lenting period lasts for 7 week (46 days) minus 6 Sundays in which no fasting is done. It is expected that every Anglican join in this yearly and spiritual exercise.

There are basically two major reasons why the church still celebrates Ash Wednesday which I am here to highlight.

The first reason why we still celebrate Ash Wednesday is because it is a sign of genuine repentance, sober reflection and sorrow. Dating back to the Old Testament, we see that ash was used severally on different occasions to mourn or bewail issues like; pronounced judgement, sorrow of heart, remorse and repentance. Perhaps, the following scripture references would throw more light. Job.42v6, Esther.4v1-3, 2Samuel.13v19, Jeremiah.6v26.25v34, Daniel.9v3. Jonah.3v6, Matthew.11v21, Luke.10v13. These few verses show us that ashes are been used basically as a sign of repentance and Jesus confirmed it validity as we see in Matthew and Luke. For this reason, the lenting period starts with the Ash Wednesday to show that the season is a season of sober reflection. It is a season of genuine repentance which ushers us to fast and pray, calling on the Lord Most High with a pure heart and a holy hand.

The second reason why Ash Wednesday is celebrated in the Anglican Communion is to remind us who we are. No matter the extent of our greatness and achievement, it a sad news to know that we are just ash and dust. This is why in a typical Anglican burial scenario, you will see or hear the following lines, “earth to earth, dust to dust, ash to ash”. With these statements, the grave of the dead person is covered. Therefore, we must constantly remind ourselves whom we are and not go about thinking that we are what we are not. With this in mind, it will help every Christian worldwide to understand the more that we are all ash and one day we will return back to ash while the soul returns to God.

Do We Just Pick Up Ash From Anywhere
This is another important question that i will not fail to answer. Do we pick up ash from anywhere, since ash do not have its types? The answer is NO. We do not just use any kind of ash for this celebration. We get a palm frond, burn it and use that ash for the celebration. Palm frond is selected because when Jesus went triumphantly into Jerusalem, the people got palm frond and st it om the ground for His ass to walk on it. For this reason, the Anglican church use the ash gotten from palm frond.

May God help us so that this celebration will not just be to fulfill all righteousness. One of the major reason why it seems as if Christianity is losing its value day by day is because some of those things which were instituted our Christian fathers are now been abused and carried out just to fulfill all righteousness. So if you are looking for the reason behind the ash Wednesday, then I have done a little justice to it. If you love this article and you believe its content, then go ahead and share it to all and sundry.

LET ME KINDLY EDUCATE YOU THAT ASH WEDNESDAY HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE CATHOLIC CHIRCH A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE ANGLICAN WAS FOUNDED IN 1533 by King Henry the 8, Hence, you should correct ur post to why Ash Wednesday is celebrated by Catholics and copied by anglicans or Episcopalians.

Although, it depends on your age, but one thing I know is that Opportunities don’t often come twice. If I’m in your shoes, I will chase the vocational hustle, come out and pray for God’s blessing. Once you’re skilled, you have higher chances of getting contract/bigger job than someone who has no skill...

Gerrard59:
From what the company says, she places successful candidates into tech firms from which they (candidates) will share their salaries (last I checked it was 15% and also depends on how much a candidate will be paid) with Stutern for two years. Afterwards, you are free. I implore you do more investigation but I recommend the program to anyone whose options are extremely limited and desires a better shot at life in the future.

Thank you chief

Gerrard59:
Well, I've been in similar situations and to be honest, it's not funny. My issue is with you doing nothing for two years. Two years?!?!?!?! Honestly, that's not a nice thing to hear/read. How do you cope during this period? Also, I read that you like the oil and gas industry. Well, no problem with your predilection but the industry is highly competitive and the best of the best compete to get a foot into the sector especially at the entry level stage. Another thing is that people rarely leave the industry to other industries and as a result, you would find persons working in one company or different companies within the industry for a decade or three decades sef! An example is the Head of Total Exploration Nigeria. The man has been with Total since his NYSC in the late '80s! So inasmuch as there are opportunities here and there, the competition is fierce. Seplat that her recruitment this time two years ago had over 42, 000+ applicants for less than 30 slots and some of the applicants I met were exceptional. Some schooled at the best of institutions, one even studied all through his life in the UK and lots of first class everywhere. I implore you to try other sectors provided you fulfil the requirements.

Furthermore, instead of staying at home doing nothing, I advise you find a way or ways to raise Graduate Accelerator Program for opportunities in the IT industry. Why I'm suggesting this is because the tech industry is egalitarian; no one cares about what and where you studied, and your grades. I know things aren't easy but you need to do something in the mean time which can change your trajectory for the better. Meanwhile, you can keep trying regarding job applications (your CV and cover letter being on point) and know your aptitude tests skills very well. Just know that it's highly competitive out there and these companies can afford to be very picky and select only the best of the best. Last year's PwC's recruitment had ~76, 000 applications for less than 200 slots. . So you see?
