Have you applied for admission into MS/PhD programs in the USA? Have you been invited to an interview with a Professor (potential advisor) or a panel of faculty?

- Your admission and scholarship search is on the line.

This morning, I will teach you how to prepare �

Let me re-state:

The following must apply to you:

1. You have submitted your application for MS/PhD admission.

2. You have been contacted for an interview with either a Professor or a panel of faculty members.

3. You are currently preparing for the interview.

Good? �

First, you need to remember everything you wrote in your Statement of Purpose by “heart”. You will certainly be asked to introduce yourself.

Bear in mind that the interviewer(s) already have all your details so they are basically trying to confirm if you are a right fit and ensure that your research interests are properly aligned with that of the department or proposed advisor. If they are considering you for a Teaching or/and Research Assistant, they want to gauge your readiness. This is a fairly normal process.

Here are some tips:

1. Gather Information About The Upcoming Interview
Ask the staff scheduling the interview who is expected to interview. It is a harmless question and as such, the committee or staff will be happy to tell you who and how many people you will be talking to. This will be helpful.

2. Read All Your Application Materials
At this point, they are...............................................................................

When you got your job, you had a degree. But afterwards you've relaxed. That is another reason you aren't gathering momentum.

Read this if only you sell online.
For a business to survive, there is ultimately one thing that need to happen - You need to make sales. Selling is the lifeblood of any business and for your business to grow, you need to get customers to patronise you.

It’s that Simple.

Now how do you make sure that you get enough people to buy from you or patronise your services? How do you even stand out in the market place?



Because some of your Competitors are not Sleeping. And doing everything make sure they have your Customers for themselves. But there’s a Hack.

What if you know why People Buy in the First place? if you know why people buy and what influences their buying decision, you will be certain of what you need to do to get them to Patronise you for your Services.

3 Solid Reasons Why People Buy
So you’re about to Discover 3 Solid reasons why people buy. You can apply these Amazing Tips to Boost your Business and open a floodgate of Paying Clients. If you use this Well. Ready to Learn this? Then let’s dive in

1. People Buy Because Of The Price
I’m sure you would agree with me that this major factor highly influences buying decision. There are people who put this first before buying anything. If the price doesn’t suit them, then they won’t Buy. It just how it is.

They are after who offers the cheapest price, they are looking for the better deal. That’s all they care about. So if you are the “cheapest” in your Marketplace, if you have the better deal than your competitors then you will be patronised by these guys.

However, one problem; The problem with this is that if you go into a Price war that is - If you Try to compete with the lowest price, your Business will not last long. Infact, you will quickly go out of business because the Big guns in that niche who can throw a lot of money around have enough to Win that war. Infact someone can just come in tomorrow and say chose to sell cheaper than you, the next day another person can come over and do the same.

Before you know it, you’re already the most expensive in the market with your “cheap offer”

Funny right?

So don’t think that you will collect all the customers from your competitors if you make yourself the cheapest in the market. Don’t make that Mistake. Now what do you do?

I will give you a secret if you read on Instead of being cheap, now justify the value of your price, increase the price, add an extra freebie or bonus.

Eg: If the average price your competitors sell a shoe is N15,000, instead of taking yours down to 10,000 to get more customers, at the expense of your Pocket..



And your Business.. Take up the price to N20,000. Relax, don’t be scared. You know what you’re doing. Use 2k to Get a Shoe Polish, a shoe brush, a quality socks. Use 1k for delivery. That’s 3k

Now tell your client that they will get a FREE Shoe Polish, shoe brush and quality socks when they buy from you.

That’s not all. You will deliver it to their location for FREE.

You see what you’ve done?

You’ve distinguished yourself from your competition and ramped up the value of your Service. People like FREE things, they will come trooping in when they see this offer.

And oh! You’ve also gained an extra 2K Profit.

You can apply this to any product or service that you offer. You get this ?

Okay, let’s go to the Next Point for today…

There are 1000s of information on scholarships, international admissions, visa applications, and preparation of application documents (SOPs, CV, Letters of recommendations, etc) BUT today,
I want to help you select the right Graduate School (to obtain your Masters, PhD degrees).



I know you may have questions about a variety of alternate educational issues but today, let us go back to square one. If this thread is going to be useful to you, you will have to keep an open mind. You should have or be in the process of earning a Bachelor’s degree - at least.

Now the goal is simple:

You obtained your BSc (including MSc if applicable) in Nigeria (for example) and you want to obtain high-quality education abroad (in the USA for example).

Also, you really want to get FULL scholarship. �� .This is what you should do. Stay with me. �

Let me quickly state:
1. If you did not finish with a First Class grade, you also stand a very good chance of gaining admission with full scholarship.
2. Getting admission and a scholarship requires your rapt attention and sustained efforts. It is not always a walk in the park.

Prepare Yourself
- Be ready to read lengthy instructions and be ready to search for information on the internet (majorly websites of universities and organizations that offer funding).
- Be up to date on “how to do effective keyword searches on Google or bing”.
- You need Data!

That been said, you should FACE REALITY, bring out your degree(s) and note your CGPA. There is no need to over-rejoice (I will explain why later on lol!) or lament about your grade. You cannot change it.

Remember: Note your...............................................

Before You Invest Your Cash In Any Company In The Country - Consider These Few Points To Make Informed Decision.
I’m going to use Agriculture or Agro Allied business as a template to drive home my point. But then, the information locked up in this write-up is applicable to any industry. So, you’d do well to take to heart the content of this thread and apply it accordingly to the space where you intend to play or invest your money. It’ll help.

Why are my using Agriculture or Agro-Allied businesses as a case study?

Because farming related businesses are beginning to spring up left, right and center and I’ve seen a few asking for investment from would-be participants to partake of the goodies they have to serve.

This is how MMM started. So, you’re better off being armed, than being vulnerable or at the mercy of smart fraudsters.

Many start-up businesses might not be able to stand the heat of the complex business environment we are in. And so, in the first five years of commencing business operations, they fizzle out.

A lot of business owners think running a business is a stroll in the park. The company structure on which their business is standing is faulty. Much worse, in a country like ours where we are being confronted with diverse erratic government policies. The challenge is gargantuan.

So, for investors who are interested in investing funds into a business, using the agro-allied business as an example, there are a few things that are of paramount importance that has to be radically analysed before you inject funds into the business.

This has nothing to do with emotions. They are critical success factors that have to be considered.

The Tips I will be sharing helped me get a Quantitative Score of 163/170 given a limited preparation period of One(1) month. Kindly Retweet for others who might also need this.

1. Be Teachable
The reason a lot of brilliant students don't do well on the GRE Quants on First attempt is because they fail to admit that their knowledge on basic Mathematics is actually limited. They hastily conclude, I know this, I know that. Trust me there is a lot to learn. 

Come down from that pedestal and pay attention to simple details. You have nothing to lose and all to gain.

2. Develop your GRE Thinking
The 1st question I ask myself when solving any GRE Question is “What is the Catch? There is always a catch/trick and asking this question help you develop the right perspective. The longer you analyze a question, the higher your chances of missing it

1. Know Your Resume Like The Back Of Your Left Hand.
Ever gone for an interview and you blank out when asked the question “tell us about your background?” Don’t worry it happens to most of us.
Or they ask a question related to a part of your resume and you begin with “erm erm”

As simple as it may seem, knowing the entire info on your resume from your objectives to your experience gives you 'un-matchable' confidence.

2go was bigger than Facebook in Nigeria with over 12 million users from Nigeria while Facebook had 6.5 Million users in 2012 - Apps africa

It was the hottest app, everyone was using it, if you were not on 2go you were not a cool kid, I got my first feature phone (java phone) around 2008, and was instantly addicted to the app.

The funny part was I didn't even create a new account, I bought a used phone, when I opened the 2go app, I found the previous owners account and just started using it. Looking at the craze that surrounded the 2go app back then, it could have been the first African owned successful social network, well. It was for five years, but after that it became a child's app
