Few weeks ago, i made a post here as a broke web developer thinking of changing career.

Fortunately, I made the nairaland frontpage. I got lots of emails from people requesting that i should do one web project or the other.

Now, the story is different. God has made it for me. I have gotten a good number of jobs in just few days and i get my pay quick. Many thanks to the moderator and Nairaland.

Studying in Ukraine, has in recent times, been a topic of debate considering the alleged racial discrimination being experienced by Nigerian students and the problem of communicating in English Language. As English is not the official language spoken in Ukraine, Nigerian students often have difficulties in communicating when they travel there for their studies.

To buttress this, the Nigerian Ambassador to Ukraine, Frank Ngozi Isoh, has advised Nigerian parents to be wary of sending their children to English Language training institutions as Ukrainians are not proficient in the language.

In September, the National Universities Commission (NUC) had said some states sponsor students to sub-standard universities abroad and Ukraine was one of the countries mentioned. The Executive Secretary of NUC Professor Julius Okojie also made reference to a university in Ukraine where there are over 800 medical students and some of the students do not have the qualification in basic sciences.

In a recent report by Daily Trust, the Ambassador made some startling revelations that raises some doubts about the idea of studying in Ukraine.

The Ambassador said that Nigerians won’t get the best when it comes to studying in Ukraine with the English Language. “One thing I will like to say about education in this place, and this is something we intend to package in a report to government to see how this can be propagated back home – I do not think that Nigerians get the best when it comes to studying in this place in the English language.”

While noting that the lure for most parents is the low cost of tuition which is about $3,000 for a course that could cost up to $20,000 in the United States or Canada, the Ambassador further said that the people who teach them in English language are natives of Ukraine who are also not very proficient in the language.

He advised students who want to study in Ukraine to first learn the local language in order to get the best out of the education system. While speaking on Universities in Ukraine offering medical courses, he said he doesn’t think Nigerian medical students trained in English get the best. “We don’t think that Nigerian medical doctors trained in English speaking universities here get the best. But those who endeavour to learn the language and then attend lectures with the natives certainly get better trained.”

It was only weeks ago that news of a Nigerian student studying in Ukraine who faced life imprisonment for allegedly defending himself against six teenagers surfaced in the media {click here to read it}. What was noteworthy about his case is that he was remanded in detention for several days by the Ukrainian police who refused to take the case to court citing unavailability of the police to get an interpreter for him.

If you were planning on studying in Ukraine, it might be wise to listen to the advice of the Ambassador..

Following the ripples the news story that top Nigerian gospel singer, Tope Alabi reportedly alleged that some moneybags and men of God were dying to sleep with her has caused, the sonorous singer has reacted furiously to the news piece.
The story later took another turn when it was reported that the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has challenged her to name the pastors that allegedly made sexual advances to her.
In a telephone conversation with Nigeriafilms.com on the night of Thursday, October 4, 2012, the multiple award-winning singer disclosed to us that she never alleged any pastor of dying to sleep with her. She also stressed that PFN has not contacted or personally confronted her on the story.

“PFN has not confronted me to tell them what happened about the sex issue. There is nothing of such, I never granted such interview that some pastors and moneybags are following me to have sex with me. Nothing like that happened to me. I work in the church, my ministry is the church. Everything I do is in the church. Even if such happens, can’t I handle it myself? Must I tell a reporter about it? Such shouldn’t even come out of my mouth,” Tope Alabi told Nigeriafilms.com.

She claimed that she was misquoted in the interview. According to her, she was asked if no one comes to her with sexual advances, especially with the beauty she commands. Tope said that she answered by saying that if they come to and find out she isn’t such a person, they become her friend.

alaoeri: Not hating bt the pix looks photoshopped.

obowunmi: How come this comment remains ? And my comment was deleted?

Lanre, I shake your head for your children, children...your entire generation sef.

justwise: Yes i'm not messing about with my comment here, the money should be given to EFCC and next time these silly women should pay for the investigation.

Enough, far enough coverage has been given to this issue around the world mostly in America, UK, Australia and Malaysia, do not send money to strangers you met online, i can give you clips after clips of this issue being highlighted, tv programs being done to educate people about this same romance scam.

Almost all the women in these programs deliberately refused to listen to warnings from family members, its not one way traffic, these women have to share of the blame.

Yes we should trust people but do it with sense, picture is not an evidence that somebody is really, phone calls is not an evidence, foreign IP address or not, the warning is still the same, Do Not Send Money To People You Met Online.

But if you risk it then blame yourself and don't come out crying foul.

I have undying hatred for yahoo yahoo boys/419ners/scammers and at the same time i can't stand people who keep feeding these criminals despite the warnings the coverage.
