Paying 1m per year to govt and collecting rent of about 50times that in a year from the citizens. It's alright...kontinu!

Clemzy16:
It's not about any course here, but the institution being substandard. Truth is, some so-called university do not deserve license to operate in the first place, the least NUC can do is what they've done.

yeah bro, but I still believe that there are some courses that can be accredited in these universities, if not, they shouldn't run at all.

Clemzy16:
Their certificate will only be considered with a pinch of salt due to mediocre.

that's unfair to them. I think universities shouldn't be allowed to admit student into any course that's on provisional clearance.

What then happens to students of the affected universities?

Guys, pls don't try this if you don't wanna lose your remaining files. It doesn't repair per say, it formats your drive/card. Except you want a total format, don't try this.

That's the best decision, God bless him.

Official NAFDAC handle tweeting in figures and short words? That's poor.

If you find yourself feeling queasy at the thought of negotiating your salary, you aren't alone. Research from Salary.com reveals that around one-fifth of candidates don't counter the first number on the table after they receive a job offer. In fact, a poll by the Society of Human Resource Management found that nearly 80 percent of those surveyed expressed that they didn't like to discuss money or negotiate employment terms.

Female candidates are even more affected by this apprehension. According to Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, authors of "Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide," 2.5 times more women than men feel "a great deal of apprehension" about negotiating. Babcock and Laschever also found that while 46 percent of men report "always" negotiating their salary, only 30 percent of women do so.

That's a shame, because you might be leaving a lot of money on the table. "The worst thing that can happen when you push for more is that they say 'no,'" says Anne Devereux, chief strategy officer at Lantern and founder of Parlay House. "But if you do it with grace, they will respect your courage and persistence -- and if you don't ask, you will never know what could have been."

To avoid the remorse of bypassing this crucial last step of your job search, here are four strategies for successful salary negotiation:

1. Ground your request in facts. Anyone can ask for a higher starting salary once he or she gets up the nerve to do so. But if you want to increase your chances of a positive outcome, it helps to go into the negotiation armed with plenty of research. Fatimah Gilliam, CEO of The Azara Group, suggests that candidates ask people in the company and in other companies that do similar things about salary bands; look up information about the average salary for the given position; and find out the company's and the department's profits during the year. "By grounding the negotiation in objective measures, the employee will have a significant advantage," she says.

2. Present your value. Even if you've done you're due diligence in researching salary levels for the position, you might not get what you're worth unless you can prove that you're worth it. "In serious salary negotiations, it is all about value proposition," says Fred Coon, CEO of Stewart, Cooper & Coon Inc. and author of "Ready Aim Hired." "If the company believes your value to be in multiples of your cost, you will have negotiating room. The higher your perceived value, the stronger your negotiating position." Coon adds that if the employer doesn't think you have greater than expected value, you will not negotiate more than a token handout.

To convince the hiring manager that your documented, numerical contributions far exceed your total financial package cost, he says you must describe the size of the problems you solve. "This is the heart of your ability to ask for more money," Coon says. "They can hire anyone for routine tasks, but they mostly judge your value by the level of difficulty of problems you solve. They pay well for those who exceed expectations for performance."

3. Put someone else in your shoes. Hesitant to ask for more for yourself? Devereux says it can help to approach the negotiation as though you are advocating for someone you love. "Women notoriously protect those they care about but are less likely to fight as hard for themselves," she explains. "If you can pull your own personal emotions and self-scrutiny out of the picture, you will push for the highest possible result for yourself." This strategy can work just as well for men who shy away from the negotiation table.

4. Ask -- and then stop talking. While it may be stressful to wait for an answer after you've made your pitch for a higher salary, staying quiet and confident as you wait can be more effective than nervously chattering on or following up too soon. "Don't keep talking after your ask," advises Rania Anderson, author of "Undeterred: The Six Success Habits of Women in Emerging Economies" and founder of TheWayWomenWork.com. "Less is more. Don't fill in the silence. Let the manager do that."

Michelle Joseph, founder and CEO of the Chicago-based consulting firm PeopleFoundry, agrees. "Once you put out a number you think is fair, wait," she says. "If you're too eager to hear back and bug them with other offers, this makes you look weak. Don't let statements like 'well maybe they didn't get my email' or 'I should go a little lower' enter your mind."

If you put these strategies to work at the negotiating stage, you'll have a better chance of earning what you're worth from the get-go -- which can make a big difference over the course of your career. "The data shows in the vast majority of cases people who negotiate for a higher salary get one, male or female," Anderson says. "The odds are high that if you ask, you'll get."

Very important

DuchessLily:
Lol...like he just realized his age after election and handover

I tell you my sister. Our leaders are just bent on their interests alone.

"I can't do much at 72"

GEJ has created massive employment by approving several universities. That is good!

I wonder why Nigerians always wait till the last minute to carry out a simple directive. When this BVN registration came up, banks were begging people to register to no avail. I can remember a customer shouting at a bank staff cos she insisted on him registering for it before any transaction that day. Now, same customers swarm the banks causing commotion.

I vote for TOMFRENCH

If someone won a lotto of (let's say N10m), and he utilizes the money with documented evidence, he may be fine, compared to a gambler who happened to place a winning bet and hit joker: everybody knows that the money won in gamble usually returns to the gamble and that a gambler loses more money than he wins.
As for the question regarding age, I would say, no age is too old for education, all you need is to do it appropriately and to meet the requirements.

ok thanks. I had to ask cos I heard a country like Canada could do such. And sometimes they ask for a newer o'level. But I think once the school grants admission, the embassy's is to look only if one merits a study visa. I might be wrong though.

thanks a lot. Please what about the answer to my other question in the OP?

Vicjustice:
Be aware that the number one priority of Visa Officers is the Homeland Security, therefore, the first resort of the officers is to google-search every applicant's name and to see what comes up.

A lot of people have never google-searched their own names and therefore, are not aware that in this age of internet social networking, a simple entering of one's name and surname into a search engine will produce numerous results whether related or unrelated to the very person.

You might not yet be aware of what comes out of your name when it is google searched: most of the featured results are not of your own voluntary information.

Take a moment after reading this article and Google-search your own name and surname, and you may be surprised to see what comes up.

I know a Nigerian someone who entered Ireland through the UK to seek political asylum, his claimed was foiled by google search results that did not favour his pleaded case and as a result, he was asked to leave Ireland: the point is, this is a regular guy (who fits the profile of a nobody) who never thought that anything about him could make it to google search.

Visa Officers are trained to look for a single reason why a visa should be refused rather than to consider it for 99 other reasons. Therefore, for those who hold the opinion that their visa applications had been unjustifiably refused for what they consider "silly" reasons such as the "three times monthly salary" issue etc.

It is true that budgeting an amount of money that is "three times your monthly income" is actually not a good reason to refuse a visa application, yet this issue usually comes into consideration when a visa applicant does not have impressive amount of money as balance. For example, if a person earns N200k monthly, and he budgets N620k for the intended trip while he presents a bank statement with a balance of N650k, he stands a very high chance to be refused for reason of the vast impact that the amount of money will have on his account as it would take him more than three salaries to recover the amount that he intends to spend for a short trip, where as, a person who earns N120k monthly with an account balance of N1.5M can easily get the visa if the application is reasonably presented.

The formula.
Before applying for a visa, look at how much you earn monthly, consider it against your account balance and compare it to the amount that you intend to spend for the trip.

good day Vic. Pls what chance does someone who won a sports bet have in presenting the winnings as funds to secure a study visa in US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand? Secondly, is 26/27years too old to go for a 1st degree in any of these countries? Thanks.

cute children

Admissions are closed in both countries now except it's for January(hardly) or next sept(2016). There are only few universities that offer courses in English in those countries particularly France especially if it is first degree. More so, the fees is almost the same as studying in an English speaking country.

lol
