Imagine comparing Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in World War II to ragtag militia group like Hamas. The Senator should be ashamed of himself. Obviously, Israel is overrated. If they nuke Gaza, the world largest open air prison. Then bye bye to Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.

Watch as dumb Nigerian Christians will support the US senator

I support Israel 100%

But can never support this.

matify83:
Invariably, it is the other bands (B to E) that have been impacted negatively by the unending power rationing and blackouts as emphasis has been shifted to providing Band A feeders with sufficient power to avoid downgrading and loss of revenue.

This is one of many unintended consequences of the tariff dichotomy that was either not envisaged ab initio or stealthily hidden in plain sight from consumers until it dawned on us that we just had a hair cut in absentia.

Spent years in American forums, they don't use big words, even in Quora.
Nigeria that English is the second language of majority, you are speaking this kind English.

What's the point? Here be like letter writing competition? Dichotomy kee you there.

Education / Re: IELTS: Share Your Experience, Ask Your Questions, Tell Us Your Score If You Can. by Jandminded: 12:06am On Apr 24
Lastbornbuns:
Test Experience

I took my ielts general test in March, computer based at British Council PortHarcourt. The staff were very friendly and nice. The environment is peaceful and quiet and they had water dispenser with disposable cups.

My speaking test went well enough. Although the video call was lagging because of network. I was so tensed and rambled a lot (imo) but I got a 7.5 in speaking. My examiner was very nice and patient. Some people got rude examiners. One particular lady was a bit mean and had zero patience. My heart was beating so fast. I didn't expect it to reach my turn so quickly but once I started speaking, I got settled.

My listening was okay. I made sure to focus on the audio. We had individual headsets and I reduced the volume on mine a bit to prevent headaches. The screen light was very bright. The audio clip wasn't too fast paced. Though the clip (where one speaker gives a lesson) tried to confuse me. There was one particular question that I changed the answer 3 times. Luckily, I changed it back to the right answer (my original answer) just when my time finished. I got a 9.0 in listening.

Reading was okay. My score here actually shocked me. I expected more. I finished all the questions in less than 30 minutes. I kept reviewing and reviewing and slept a bit (just closed my eyes and tried to refresh my mind) for around 20 minutes then I reviewed again. I got "paragraph matching" questions and flowchart. I got an 8.0 in reading.

Writing.. hmm. I expected a lot more from writing. Time was a serious problem because I spent more than the advised 20mins on the first one and started panicking. I thought I wouldn't have much time for the second essay. The second essay was difficult to begin. I kept thinking, "how am I supposed to write this? What type of prompt is this one now?" I looked at my time and just typed a few sentences (looking at a blank screen is so demoralising lipsrsealed ). I actually finished the entire essay before i could think of a suitable way to paraphrase the topic (the intent/purpose of writing). I got an 8.0 in writing. Please always check for grammatical errors. I never made an error when practicing but come and see mistakes on that day. Like say na set up.

Overall, I got a band 8 C1 level. I didn't actively prepare per se. I was studying for Gre last year so did a lot of reading and writing. Also learnt words. All on Gregmat. When I booked my test, BC gave me access to GEL ielts (Guided E-learning) and acces to their "Ready Platform" didn't use it much because I had to go to nysc camp a month before my test date. A week to my test, I booked writing review sessions with prepmewell. My tutor said they expected a 9.0.
I also went through ieltsadvantage and ieltsliz that same week. Watched some videos, answered some questions.

One thing to note is this: don't restrict yourself when it comes to the writing section. There's no where BC or IDP says your essay must be in 3 paragraphs or if you're asked "not less than 150", don't write more than 170 or something like that. My 1st task was more than 4 paragraphs. I was already pressed for time and counting words (the computer does it if computer-based) or paragraphs wasn't something I wanted to do. I ended up writing almost or even a bit more than 200 for the 150. So don't let it be another issue for you. Also, the exam fatigue is very real. I was itching to run home by the time the writing started and the way the test is structured, even if you finish before time, you can't move on till the time ends. Perhaps it's because my speaking test was done same day so I had to be at the test center for the entire day but I was restless towards the end.

Finally, I would always advise computer based where its feasible. The computer based is not same question type for all. I had noticed that people mostly get lower scores in listening in paper-based because some centers blast the audio through a central speaker. And I couldn't wait 13 days to receive my result. Anxiety would've finished me.

Also, paper based can be distracting. You might be looking around and get lost somewhere but computer based, it's just you and your computer and the desks are partitioned. I also got the feeling like the computer camera might be on so.. gotta be on best behaviour and maintain eye contact (there's how you'll look down and it'll be like you're looking at "expo" grin ). The sound of typing wasn't a distraction to me. My test center is just too beautiful for words. So clean and quiet. Once you enter, you just start whispering grin it's very very calm.

Nice one.

Please what are the requirements to register for IELTS?
I heard of international passport, do you know if NIN can be used?

Some schools are strict on requirements. Best is to send the school an email requesting for a waiver. During our own time, it was common to use a letter from your university, nowadays I see them requesting Ielts of 6, 6,5 and 7,5.

But Is it required before or after getting the admission?
Travel / Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Jandminded: 12:05am On Apr 20
MrAAA2:


At the embassy stage, have a 2 set of copies (plus additional set of originals) of everything required as stated in the checklist, including other documents used during the admission application.

There's barely excess documents causing problems, rather too few documents.

Can one who doesn't have IELTS use proficiency letter?
Travel / Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Jandminded: 12:03am On Apr 20
Ndyoo:


First of all, the chancekarte is a point based system and you would do anything to increase your points so as to increase your chances.

That includes your experience : You need a letter of recommendation from current employer, or what we refer to here as Arbeitszeugnis from previous employment. Both of them are not the same. You can try with employment letter. I think it should be fine, but you would submit any documents that will increase your chances.

Language skills : A2 German will give you more points, so if you haven't started learning, get on board and take your exam at Goethe institute. English skills of up to B2 : Toefl/Ielts.

I think they expect you to have some links to Germany : like previous visits.

Can someone who had his first degree in English language apply in German Uni with letter of English proficiency from the school?

Tsesi:


In terms of admission, if you get admission winter 2024, u can contact the school to defer, or you can enroll online before your appointment date comes near.

For this whole German process after using Daad u can try research online and Google universities in, or near big cities in Germany with or without tuition or uni-assit. U can also follow by searching for 'Nigeria students in Germany' telegram groups to get more info.

While waiting for Visa interview, apply for scholarships and other countries as plan B

Did you write IELTS?

Is it every germans school that requires it for master's program ?

Girls are the reason why good and understanding guys are getting insulted and called simp all the time.

Anybody can be cheated on, but how you react to it determines if you are a simp, a fool or an wise man.

Once a girl cheats on me, I don't break up officially, I just ghost her without any explanation.
