Bros sorry to ask is d interview still base on technical questions like drives and many more............

The interview was of different segments: the job specific assessment which includes a timed prototype machine assembly, word and excel test, and then the oral interview.

kissoflife:
Applied for the electrical position, no invite til now. I'm not sure thy're that serious.

I think they have not started the recruitment process for Electrical guys for now because all the while I've gone there, its only Mechanical guys i see. We mechanicals that was succesful on the first assessment test was invited for another round of test and interview. Last week I got a call from them that I was successful for the Field Service Technician's role. The person was explaining the working hours and pay but I wasn't hearing him clearly due to the noise in my environment coupled with his mother tongue interference. At the end of the call I think I heard that an offer letter will be sent to me this week and that I will bring my original credentials and stuffs, but I have not heard from them yet. Wednesday has gone already

Any update from anybody?

seyilapy:

Invitation for second test/interview has started rolling in. Somebody I wrote the first test with called me last night to inform me that he has been invited for another round. Who else has gotten it?

Eketimo:
Pls like how many of u wrote the test together? and Did u know if u wrote the test with (Electrical) guys?


From the list I saw at the security entrance, 44 names were there. I don't know if some electronic guys wrote alongside mechanics.

Bro have you heard anything from KHS since then? They test organizer told us that we'll get contacted by the end of April if successful. First week of may is almost over now that's why I'm asking.

Hi Kalunomics

The Commonwealth Professional Fellowship is NOT a scholarship. It is aimed at "mid-career professionals from developing Commonwealth countries to spend a period of time with a UK host organisation working in their field for a programme of professional development" (http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/professional-fellowships/).

Are you looking at the Commonwealth Scholarship (to go study in the UK) OR the Professional Fellowship (to go work briefly in the UK)?

Thank you very much for your reply Darellrivers. I'm looking forward to working briefly there and being conferred a fellow in the field

Eketimo:

From the list I saw at the security entrance, 44 names were there. I don't know if some electronic guys wrote alongside mechanics.

Please Eketimo, have you been contacted since then? I got an invite for assessment test for field service engineer role, slated for 15th. Seems they are running a second batch of the test.

Sorry I'm a dummy here. How does this work? Which account are we supposed to pay in for goods we're interested in? How do i pick it up? Are there other charges apart from the prize tags you put on the items? Lastly, I saw where you wrote airport exchange rate; are we paying in naira equivalence or you have already done the conversion by the prize tag you have on the items. Your reply will be deeply appreciated

I know a bit about the commonwealth scholarship as I was a Commonwealth Professional Fellow (scholars are sponsored to school, Fellows are sponsored to work in the UK). The scholarship is open to those who had first class or second class upper and takes care of everything (Fees AND living expenses). There are different scholarships but the most common ones are
- Scholarships for Master’s and PhD study at UK universities (this is the one where you have to be nominated by the Nigerian Government- it is the one that ministry of education advertises http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/scholarships-developing-cw/)

-Shared Scholarships for Master’s study at selected UK universities (here the commonwealth scholarship commission AND specific UK universities SHARE the funding. This has nothing to do with the Nigerian Government). This is however, restricted to certain courses in certain universities- you can check the prospectus http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/prospectus-shared-scholarships-2014.pdf
search for the course you are interested in doing, the university that offers scholarship for your course, go to the school's website and find out criteria for the shared scholarship.

e.g. The University of Strathclyde in Scotland is one of the schools in the shared scholarship scheme (see the prospectus link above) and they offer the scholarship for the following courses
• Advanced Computer Science
• Applied Economics
• Advanced Mechanical Engineering
• Electronic and Electrical Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Finance
• Forensic Science
• International Law and Sustainable Development
• Internet Law and Policy
• Pharmaceutical Analysis

If you are interested in one of these courses, all you need to do is go to strathclyde's website, find out what their criteria is and apply.

So make good use of the internet and for more information, go to http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/


It is a great scholarship- I thoroughly enjoyed my Fellowship Programme

Hope this was helpful

Good day Darellrivers. I was searching for clues or any article that might help me in applying for the Common Wealth Professional Fellowship Scholarship when I stumbled back into the thread that motivated me to get the job I'm doing now. Impressive huh? You guys are doing a great job here.
Since you're an alumni of the programme, I would really appreciate it if you can allow me to borrow few minutes of your precious time to guide me on how to go about the application so as to be successful. Thanks in anticipation

A clinical analysis of the discrimination against Higher National Diploma (HND) as it affects employment opportunity for holders of the certificate will reveal that the real issue is actually limited jobs opportunities out there and not the discrimination itself. In a booming economy with sufficient job opportunities, national diploma certificate alone is sufficient to land a good job that will guarantee decent living. If bagging a bachelor's degree guarantees automatic employment, there won't be numerous unemployed university graduates out there. Either your hold HND or bachelor’s degree, you'll still have to compete for the limited job opportunities available. The HND holder however has the advantage of starting small with jobs requiring National Diploma (ND) (some degree holders who had passed through the polytechnic before proceeding to the university also have this advantage). However, after securing a job, the HND holder still has to acquire additional academic qualification(s) in order to rise to the zenith of his/her career. What then are the alternatives available to the HND and holder and how does he/she break the discrimination barrier?

1. Entrepreneurship
This is the most effective weapon against unemployment and all forms of limitations associated with the discrimination against HND. With your HND certificate, you can create job for yourself and even degree holders.

2. Professional Certifications
Getting an internationally recognised professional certificate also increases the chance of securing a job. Despite the discrimination, most employers will still prefer a HND holder with relevant internationally recognised certificate to a fresh university graduate with none.

3. Master’s Degree
Studying further for a master's degree is another way of breaking the barrier of the discrimination. There are two categories of master's degree; professional and academic. All Universities in Nigeria do not admit HND holders directly (without postgraduate diploma or additional professional certifications) into their academic master's degree programmes. Only few among the universities admit HND holders with some years of experience into their professional master’s degree programme.
[b]The good news however is there are many US’s and Australian universities that admit HND holders directly into their academic master's degree [b/]. So for those who can afford to travel overseas, this is an excellent alternative.

4. Postgraduate Diploma (PGD)
This is the best path to follow for those already in government employment in order to cross the grade level 14 hurdle. The Postgraduate Diploma also serves as a bridge to the academic master’s degree programmes in Nigerian universities, though some universities like University of Lagos would still not admit HND holders with PGD into their master’s degree programme.

5. Going for the freaking bachelor’s degree
This is one of the most difficult steps to take after HND. For those willing to follow this difficult path, the best way to go about is to travel to the UK for a top-up degree. The United Kingdom’s (UK) top-up degree is designed for the holders of her BTEC-HND (Business and Technology Education Council-Higher National Diploma). The BTEC-HND is a vocational qualification, usually studied full-time but can be studied part-time. It is roughly equivalent to the first two years of a 3 year degree in the UK. It is however equivalent to the Nigerian National Diploma (ND) and should not be confused with the Nigerian HND. Admission to the UK’s top-up degree programme can be gained with either the Nigerian ND certificate or HND certificate.


Above all, it is important to keep in mind that: The purpose of education is not to fill the minds with facts, but to teach the mind how to think. Therefore, the worth of an educated person is not determined by the certificate the person brandishes. It is rather determined by the problems the person can solve through creative thinking and innovation.

Can you help me with list of Australian universities that accept HND directly into Masters program in Mechanical or related engineering courses

Why not you drop the BB Pin and have us add you instead. It'll be faster that way

Thank you very much I am able. I got my Injoo note today but other accessories were not included. Should I order for them again?
Thanks once more for the facilitating the delivery and the discount.

Would love it if it makes the iPhone6 design affordable to all

FIFA has suspended Nigeria from
international competition after football leaders were fired by the government following the team's World Cup exit. FIFA announced the ban, which means no Nigerian team -- including club sides -- can play internationally, on Wednesday. It was the world governing body's
response to a court order which
compelled the Nigerian Minister of
Sports to appoint a senior member of the civil service to take over the running of the Nigeria Football Federation. A statement from FIFA's emergency committee said: "The FIFA Emergency Committee has decided today, July 9, 2014, to suspend the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) with immediate effect, on account of government interference.'' The statement continued: "The decision follows a letter sent by FIFA to the NFF
on July 4, 2014, in which it expressed its great concern after the NFF was served with court proceedings and consequently an order preventing the president of the NFF, the NFF Executive
Committee members and the NFF
Congress from running the affairs of
Nigerian football was granted by a High Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"The said court order compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports to appoint a senior member of the civil service to manage the NFF until the matter was heard in court, without giving any date for such a hearing. "The authorities then appointed a person who decided to convene an extraordinary general assembly on July 5 2014. This extraordinary general assembly was convened in violation of the NFF statutes.

"Originally, an elective congress had been planned by the NFF to take place on August 26, 2014. "The suspension will be lifted once the court actions have been withdrawn and the properly elected NFF Executive Committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to
work without any interference in their affairs.

'' The first impact of FIFA's move will be felt by Nigeria's women, who will be prevented from taking part in the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup in Canada next month -- should the suspension not be lifted by July 15. The statement added: "As a result of this decision, no team from Nigeria of any sort [including clubs] can have any international sporting contact [art. 14 par. 3 of the FIFA Statutes]. "During the period of suspension, the NFF may not be represented in any regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, or in friendly matches. "In addition, neither the NFF nor any of its members or officials may benefit from any FIFA or CAF development programmes, courses or training during the suspension period.

'' Nigeria's men reached the second round of the World Cup finals in Brazil after finishing second in Group F behind semifinalists Argentina, but bowed out
after a 2-0 defeat by France in the
round of 16.

My best city in Nigeria is Calabar, for it neat, cool and serene enviroment. When I was serving there, I always wished I got a job offer there so I wouldn't have to leave my lovely Calabar. But here I am today in crowdy Lagos, where everybody is serious and in a haste to get to where I don't know. God knows best anyway.

“What we need to do now is to help you order your record

Now I'm confused. Somebody help!

I was expecting it, so I didn't celebrate anything.

LAGOS — The police in Lagos State, yesterday, said they have arrested an 18-year-old boy, Ikechukwu Friday, who allegedly killed a 12-year-old girl for money ritual.
The suspect, who is currently being interrogated at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, was paraded before newsmen. According to him, a pastor he asked for money instructed him to kill a young girl and obtain her faeces. He said the pastor promised him N100,000 if he was able to accomplish the task. According to him, “I attend a popular church around Ketu Street, Aguda but I live with my parents in Badagry. I just finished secondary school and I have been very broke so I approached the pastor for money but he told me that I should strangulate a little girl. “He said when strangulating the girl, she would pass out faeces. The pastor said I should obtain the faeces and bring it to him. He said if I could do this, he would give me N100,000.
“So, on December 30, 2013, I approached a young girl, Bose Ogoja. Her mother sells food in Badagry and I usually patronise them, so she trusted me. I told the girl that I wanted to show her something and that she should follow me. So I took her to an abandoned NITEL building and locked the door. “I pressed her neck tightly and she passed out faeces.
I was, however, not able to get the faeces because I was caught before I could escape.” The suspect, an indigene of Onitsha, Anambra State, pleaded for mercy, adding that this was his first crime. State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said the boy was arrested by neighbours in the area and handed over to the Badagry Police Division. Braide said the pastor, who allegedly gave the boy the instruction, had been arrested and was already cooperating with the police.
While displaying the gruesome picture of the slain girl, Braide said: “He was arrested in an uncompleted building. The security guard manning the building told the police that he saw the boy entering the building with the girl. “He said a few minutes later, he heard the girl screaming and later saw the boy leaving. The security guard raised the alarm and the neighbours were alerted and they arrested the boy.” On entering the building, the discovered that the girl was dead. “The picture of the girl’s corpse shows that the girl was naked and defecated on the floor.”

why won't they give us names? They've been doing it, why this exception?

The rift between old
members of the All Progressives Congress, APC and newly defected governors from the ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP has deepened with both sides battling for the control of APC structures in Sokoto, Kano, Kwara and Adamawa states.

The original members of the APC are opposing attempt by the defected governors to take over the APC structures while the defectors, on the other hand, are insisting on a takeover, describing it as part of their conditions for defection to the APC.
According to findings, the defected governors have resorted to various strategies to assert their control over the party.
More so, both Governors Rabiu
Kwankwaso and Aliu Wamakko had succeeded in recruiting to their sides some strong supporters of former Governors Attahiru Bafarawa and Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau. Governor Kwankwaso was reported to have got to his sides members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change while members of the defunct All Nigerian People's Party have so far remained loyal to Mallam Shekarau.
According to report, Kwankwaso and Shekarau are not on talking terms and Wamakko and Bafarawa have not had any direct contact since the defection.
The same situation is reported to be happening in Kwara State between the Saraki caucus and the Dele Belgore group even though it was learnt that the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, is putting pressure on his friend, Belgore.
In Adamawa State,the resistance to Governor Murtala Nyako had become an open confrontation as General Buba Marwa is quoted as vowing to resist Nyako's takeover of the party.
However, the interim leadership
under Chief Bisi Akande is said to have responded to the escalating infighting by setting up a peace committee which is yet to resolve the crisis.
