Which less privileged. Are we not all less privileged under Buhari's administration? He should just tell us that he wants to raise more money for 2023 elections or to finance BH boys

Since Buhari came in!

Are you not aware of all FG is doing for the poor? Trader money, 5k per month to the poor (paid quarterly), Npower, etc.
Are above for the rich?
How come we don't see these people? What is 5k supposed to do for somebody in present times? Is it weekly allowance or what?

Please, can someone suggest a good phone under 85k that isn't tecno or infinix
Check samsung a20 or a30, xiaomi redmi note 8 (around 65k 4gb 64gb 4000MaH) or 9 or oneplus.
Avoid itel. Be careful with second hand phones, only take those with receipt before you carry stolen phone and the owner traces it to you.

Wow, with a mindset like this no wonder Nigeria is the way it is. What is wrong with sharing an experience from an interview?

Whether they share or not, what will be will be. They can keep the experience to themselves hopefully you come out first out of a class of 1million. Typical Nigerian.

People have gone for interviews with the top IT companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google and Microsoft and made videos of it all on YouTube.
You see why the indians and Chinese tend to excel wherever they go, they look out for each other, positively. Be there, concealing info from an interview.
I don't think you all understand hosey's point. This interview is basically an exam. Any sharing should be done *after* the exam and not in the middle. The market should be perfectly competitive so there should be perfect and equal information on the part of the participants. You can't compare the performance of someone that did theirs earlier with the performance of those that would do later. The later ones would've been informed on questions asked and what not and would prepare specifically to answer those kind of questions unlike their counterparts that might have thought on the spot and answered their own. He's saying the sharing should be done after the interview process has been finished (since we're saying it'll serve as info for future applicants).

I wrote one scholarship exam like that in 2020. We had a 24 hr window to take the test. 2 hrs after taking mine, the info sharers came and pasted all 50 questions of the exam on a WhatsApp group. You can imagine the unfairness of it all. Assuming I hadn't yet written mine, I probably wouldn't have vexed tongue I might have even encouraged more people to share theirs. It's in human nature to seek for their own satisfaction.
Let all contestants have an equal footing abeg. Those IT people you're using as reference shared their experience after the process. Some times sef they share when they've gotten the job or been rejected

hosey:

Lol. Everyone. Dont mind him o. He is only saying this because his interview is not on the first day.

You better keep quiet so you don't shoot yourself. When you share the information, other people will prepare well and cover what you didnt do. One mark is the difference between success and failure.

Also, morally, it is very bad. It is malpractice. You are all competitors. Dont allow anyone to guilt-trip you. Therefore, do not share. You can only share after the whole interview process for an equal chance.
I support this. Its unfair to ask the early birds to state their entire interview experience before the end of interviews. However, they can state it without going into specifics. Maybe they could omit questions they were asked and just talk about the general mood of the interview like how many interviewers, dress pattern, duration etc. Then after all interviews have been conducted they can state the questions asked (for future applicants' sake) so no one will feel they were taken advantage of

Sir, I know what I'm saying, and I absolutely understand what you mean you said 'what if' that's the right clause there...... Not all schools require 50 percent upon resumption... For example university of Sussex allows u pay 3rice and months apart not immediately you get into the U.K.
Secondly had my secondary and sixth form education in the U.K, there are under the rader hand to hand jobs you can get, there are numerous of which I can't even begin to mention.... My best friend recently moved to the UK his 20hour job is a normal care job... And at night he works and gets paid in a night club..... Based on Location there are jobs that pays up to 16-18pounds per hour off hand.... It's all about luck, your being smart and ability to liase and communication well with people... U don't know who has the right link....But it's advisable to have more to pay your school fee just in case things don't work out well as I said above.... So you won't have issues ahead.... Thanks for the information
OK. All the best

Tomzino:

You can go to the united kingdom with 3.5m. look for a school outside London. A school that preferably won't collect more that 2thousabd pounds as tuition deposit for issuance of CAS. That's like 1m already, pay an agent that will help you load ur account with 12million they will collect 6 percent of it let's say that's, 5 or 600k in naira, then pay for UK Tb test 58k, pay for IHS, let's say 500k abd then visa fee then book flight. 3.5m can take you to the united kingdom via study route. Feel free to inbox me if you need more information. I can put you through...
Then when you get to the UK and the school asks you to pay 50% of your school fees balance before you'll be enrolled, what would you do? How do you explain to them the 14m was audio money? You'll start working yourself to death to meet up with deadline exceed your visa restrictions. When its time to renew the visa, they'll notice you worked more than 20 hours per week. Your visa is denied, you either return to naija or turn illegal and live in fear of when you'll be deported.

If you're advising someone to go down this path, at least let the person pay off like 70% or more, preferably all of the school fees unless the school is so generous and can spread payment over the duration of the program. Then the person can manage and hustle for living costs.

Why would they consider and go back to class then after 3month they are back embarking on strike. Student should boycott classes if that’s the case, you don’t waste people time and not achieve your aim and still waste another time in the future
At least let 2020/2021 finalists go. In my school, we were just about to start second semester exams before the strike. Timetable even came out that Monday morning. You can imagine how frustrating it is. People that, normally, should've left June 2021 cry

Someone just pasted a link for a WhatsApp group. This person did not apply for ptdf. Prior to this, he has never even typed a message on this thread or the other threads.

Continue joining groups undecided till scammers infiltrate. Its not so hard to maintain this thread. If previous years had created groups immediately they were shortlisted and abandoned NL thread where would we have gone to for information?

Hello everyone,
Please I need clarification on some questions as regards the Undergraduate NA. The reg for this year has began and I'd appreciate you taking your time to shed light on the process.

1. Is there going to be any verification on the exam day? If yes, what documents are required?
Yes, documents you applied with. Instructions will be given to you

2. After the exam, what are the next steps? (I'll need a detailed explanation here because there're things like the Award Letter, the verification process).
After the exam, get ready for radio silence for months. Then a text (sms) to awardees with instructions on the next step. You'll be given award letter to fill and take home with you. You'll submit some forms attached to the award letter to your student affairs Dean to forward to the FSB director on your behalf. You might be asked to scan them and send to an email address first. The award letter will be required for all subsequent verification exercises.

3. Any other things the applicant is expected to do before payment after a successful application.
If awarded, create an account or update your bank account to remove limits. Filling the award letter is time and passport consuming. You even have to go to court grin

Again, I appreciate you taking your time to answer my questions.
