You don't actually need email to be sure you are awarded. Does your portal looks anything like the screenshot above?

I'm awarded but didn't receive this particular email. I guess it's just a random mail.
Oh, alright.

If you still haven't received, contact the person in charge of your school; the person that did your first verification. Someone in your school should have the contact.

I just wrote the exams too. Does anyone have an idea of the percentage mark for moving to the next level?

I heard somewhere that it is 70%
Knowing really doesn't matter. The scores aren't published and the cut off isn't made known to public.

You finally chop FSB money 3x

Na me looseguard as I no apply at the time I was supposed to.

I mean the batch that have just been paid now.

I was actually in second semester 100L then with only first semester results.

Never knew it was possible to apply at the time since the whole academic session would have been concluded and full 100L CGPA ready by the time FSB verification could start. I really Bleep up.

Na this present batch I won follow compete now.

I hope I see grace and favour in it. At all at all, even two payment go do something.

Meanwhile, we still dey hope on PTDF.

We hope they do something good by Nov/Dec and the Almighty count us worthy.
Boss I greet o. Amen. Ptdf is taking their sweet time.
I de apply for anything I see so far I no go pay money. I no de check all those requirements. Its a game of numbers. 1 must click. Highest na rejection I go get

Even for online teaching....you dey do gender discrimination

If you're a female applicant, be watchful
That statement is a huge red flag. Why will female be preferred for online role? Abi do they want to install spyware on people's phones?

To applicants: Don't download/install anything they send to you unless they state their reason for preferring one gender.

You don't understand my question..
Like it is my account, I'm the owner of the account..but he is saving up some money with me..hope my account balance won't reduce my chance of getting paid for the scholarship..
It is not my money that is there.

The account is in my name.
As long as your brother's money wasn't sent into your account from them, you should be fine. And the amount isn't 250k at a go.. like if your brother sent the money in bits, it should be fine.

With the residence permit, you can enter the EU region like Germany, Sweden, Holland Norway and the likes to see job within that time frame. That's because Switzerland is part of the EEA area.

Getting MSC to Germany without first-class now is hell. So if you have the money, that option is the best to get to Europe.

For me, it's Europe ---> Canada/Australia---->USA.

With Canadaian or Australian Citizenship, getting a HI-B visa is easy
With Canadian citizenship, you might not need H1B visa. You could go for the TN visa which is just for nationals of Canada and Mexico to work in the USA for up to 3 years at a time

Pls what is the use of bank statement during the last screening exercise?
The reason I'm asking it that my brother's money is in my account..hope it won't affect my chance of receiving payment..they might think I'm the owner of the money.
Please open another account for your peace of mind. How did your brother get away with an account that's not in his own name for the scholarship?

They use it to check the number of times you've been paid. Formerly, it was an individual sending the money to us but now it seems like it's coming straight from the ministry. The description of the alert has changed.

Please what if at the time of submission of those documents one's result (cgpa) is less than the required 4.0 at the time of application will the person be screened out?
Take this with a grain of salt but in all our verification exercises, nobody has really looked at the cgpa side. I don't think the people verifying are aware of the clause. I know some people that have done verification without results because theirs wasn't ready. I'd say don't worry. As long as its a 2.1

I have also seen a message being circulated, "that 2021 awardees should print from 1st May 2022 to date, while 2018, 2019 and 2020 awardees should print from 1st March 2021 to 30th March 2022".

I also don't know it's authenticity.
But the truth is the thing will be too much esp for old awardees.

As for me, I'm only printing the months in which I have been paid. That's what I did during last verification and no one complain about it.
From my school fsb group, the lady in charge of us said we should print from March to dec 2021. You know some old awardees re applied and got 2022 or is it 2021 award because the 2020 list came out late (applications for next set were already on). Some continued with old and new award and have chopped double money.

So I guess from your award letter, they can deduce when your award started and how many payments you should have gotten then they'll crosscheck with your bank statements from the date of first payment to the last. Just print the range you were given and highlight the payments for them.

And please how much time is allocated for the exam.
Sorry, I can't really remember. Just know the exams are on English, maths, general knowledge/commerce/current affairs. I'd say the English is at waec level. Lots of synonyms and Co during my time. The math too.

Well freedom of speech which she should have expressed when the queen was alive.
This ranting is actually cowardice.

Let the dead have it's peace

This same woman said negative things about Prophet TB Joshua when he died.

Now to look at we Nigerians

So do we continue to blame our woes on British empire
Remember USA was also colonized by them got their independence through the revolution war.

Nigeria's independence was handed down peacefully

62 years onward we still blame them for our woes.

We are our own poison
Don't forget that US gained independence in 1776 and continued participating in slave trade till it was officially banned in 1865. So technically, while they provided the "intellectual capacity", slaves did all the heavy lifting

I can't make a head or a tail out of this story.
I just hope i can be coherent enough.

Okay, I'm 30. I've been through some serious shit like I'll health, several near death experiences, severe poverty, betrayal in every form n shade, dysfunctional family, loneliness and addiction. I hope you don't judge me if i come out as unserious and confused. Seriously, it's the effects of the things I've been through.

So, I need to make a life defining decision and i need to make it urgently. But i don't know how to or what to do.

I took a loan from a commercial bank ( the loan went bad and i couldn't pay. My business was almost dead. I had to take initiative and kickstart it again, diverting from the original plan. It worked. I started making a few hundreds a month. I started repayment of my loan but, unfortunately, the loan has already carried too much interest. Everything I'm paying goes to interest. Loan amount not really reducing.

I need to pick up other skills or just have another stream of income since I'm free most of the day..
So, I'm thinking of getting a laptop ( my baby damaged my previous one).
And learning forex trading, cryptocurrency.
Or learn a few programming language ( i don't like programming from onset).
Or learn any other skill you suggest.
My other option is to go back to school. School of nursing or msc. But money would be a bit of a challenge here.

Or travel to the US using illegal means ( i hate this option).

I have a sister in the USA who entered through F1 dependent visa. She's been there for about 4 years now. Is there a way she could help me move?
She has been on my neck for relocation but she's not giving me money for the things i need to put in place to make relocation possible. My funds are too tight to fund travelling.

My last option is to face my business squarely and try to grow it ( but Nigeria scares me. I've seen people struggle for decades. I don't want to make that mistake).

I don't know what to do. Sincerely.

Note: I'm a sickle cell. I had congestive heart failure earlier this year. I don't even know if i will survive the next few years.

Leading me to the next question; SHOULD I MARRY N HAVE KIDS? knowing my health status. Is it wise?
Note: my baby is a 3 n half old. She's adopted.
Her own case is another story entirely.

Lastbornbuns
I'm just seeing this. Sorry about that.
I don't know what you should do but I do know what you shouldn't do. Please, please don't marry and definitely don't have kids (especially at this point I your life). Abeg. Sickle cell is no joke and I'm sure you've experienced the pain. Please don't subject a small child to that same pain. Also, hope you know life as an illegal migrant is not easy? How much more in America where they don't have "free health care". You have sickle cell; any country you're considering should have government funded healthcare available to residents/citizens irrespective of income level. Please find those countries that have compulsory health insurance as part of tax. You said you suffered something earlier this year. Just imagine your child suffering that kind of pain. Is it worth it? The suffering, the money you'll spend on healthcare, the anxiety? You've already adopted a child. Focus on him/her.

Please leave America. Your sister fit no pick your call when you need help (Financial help). There are other low-key, nice countries. Find them or you face your business in Nigeria. Don't force yourself to learn "tech" if you have no interest in it. It requires a lot of brain power, constant staring at a laptop would probably damage your eyesight and it can be immensely frustrating when it doesn't work out the first time (which it almost never does). Or you can look at the earnings of those in tech and force yourself to develop an interest. I'd probably advice you go back to school (School of Nursing). It's 3 years and there are no strikes. (That's if you like nursing). As a nurse, you won't require much funds to emigrate legally to any Western country. They perpetually have shortage of nurses so you could get a job in, say, UK, US etc and move. UK especially. 90% of naija nurses are there grin

There are no guarantees in life. Do what you can and leave the rest. Don't add High BP to your problems
