The TRF is the same as the result that you collect from MOD. If you have collected it before then you need to physically submit it with the EOR request form that would be given to you at MOD.

Congratulations. Amazing news. Currently awaiting my remark with IDP. Fingers crossed. Tapping into this. I hope it also comes favourable by Gods grace.

It took between 2-4 weeks. IDP Australia was done in 2 weeks and confirmed that they had sent it to MOD but MOD did not confirm receipt till the 4th week.

IELTS (12 May), 1st attempt.

LRSW, 9,9,8,6.5
So heartbroken, MOD-IDP why? cry I am already tired. Prepared for this test like mad. Don't even know what to do at this point.

Hi Guys, eventually decided to go for an EOR and thankfully my writing was upgraded to a 7. This brings me to 438 from 393. It was a big risk but I needed closure for my sanity that was why I decided to go through with it, only submitting the request with an hour left to its closure. This is to encourage other people who are in my shoes to give it a trial if they are convinced they deserve better though the NGN46,124, no be beans.
P.S: I was least prepared for the writing section as I was confident I would clear it at the 1st try... I know better now.

Family / Re: My Husband's Pride Wants To Ruin Our Home by LeakPlug(m): 1:59pm On Jul 15, 2018
HEseesall:
I had to open this account for anonymity
I'm in a dilemma, let me start like this, when i and my husband first got married we did a joint business that fetched us a huge amount of money, the aim was to build a house, when we got the money, he decided to use his' for his parents (i had no problem with that) then mine for what we wanted to use it for

Two weeks ago we had a major misunderstanding, it was soo intense to the extent that he told me to park out of the house, in the heat of things i told him that cannot be possible that the house is in my name, he was shocked, saying it is impossible we built it together that it's in his name, i had to remind him what happened then, he was furious saying it was wrong of me to use my name, that he cant believe he has been staying in a house that does not belong to him, he told his family what i did claming victim, then he packed out saying he wont come home till i change the name to his full name, i begged him to no avail, i dont even know how to tell my people, imagine if it was in his name, i and the kids would have been out of the house by now, he has requested for transfer from his office to another state cos of this, who does that?? He cant expect me to change it to his name.

Pls i need other advise to go about this, he is a good man but he feels his ego has been bruised, i need other options.


MODIFIED For those viewing this, i have made some clarifications down to page (1),

You didn't tell us what caused the disagreement. That would be the root of it all. Imagine if your husband was already feeling this much rage over this initial disagreement, how much more when he discovered after several years of sleeping in the same roof with his wife to discover that he was living in his wife's house after all. I'm Igbo, my mom has a house which she inherited from her mom and my dad would rather go and squat under the bridge than to live in my mom's house.
Phones / Re: Trump Is Frustrating Chinese Tech Companies And See How It May Affect Nigerians by LeakPlug(m): 6:43pm On Jun 27, 2018
TechCapon:
@TechCapon



A major trade war looms between the United States and China as US president Donald trump is poised to ensure that China doesn’t overtake the US as the world’s leading technology country. The trump administration has dealt heavy blows on Chinese biggest tech companies by imposing bans, fines and restrictions. If this battle for supremacy continues, very soon Chinese tech products including phones will not be able to enter the US and US tech products will not be able to enter China. No doubt China will suffer more damage than the US if it comes to that and we pray it doesn’t! A very serious tech revolution is going on in China as it is making huge plans to become the world’s leader in technology by the year 2025 and Trump said he is determined to protect American technology. Here I’ll be discussing the 5 ways trump is sabotaging the Chinese technology.



1. Plans to Restrict tech exports to China.

Although most American companies are not happy with it because it will reduce their sales, Trump is not backing down from the plan. He is more concerned that valuable tech secrets will be leaked to China via trade deals as China is already making big advances using American technology. We’ve seen Chinese phones already competing with the iPhone and lenovo is seriously competing with Dell, lol. The trump administration has made it clear of it’s desires to protect American technology but the companies such as Qualcomm and Intel are more concerned about their profits. China is their biggest market outside the US.



2. Accusing the Chinese phone companies of spying.

Trump has made it clear that Huawei and ZTE are security threats to the US as their devices are being used to spy on Americans and send sensitive information to Beijing. Although there’s no proof of these allegations, it has seriously affected the market value of Huawei and their Chinese counterparts in the United States as citizens no longer trust them. Huawei is Chinese second largest smartphone manufacturers after Xaiomi while ZTE is the fourth largest.



3. Placing a ban on ZTE.

US companies have also been banned from selling any hardware or software components to ZTE for 7 years for violating US sanctions on Iran and North Korea. If ZTE fails to settle with the US government, it’s Android smartphone business is as good as dead because it depends on chips from Intel, Microsoft and Qualcomm to make their phones. Google play services will also be removed from their phones and it will be almost impossible to sell an android phone without Google play services. Apple has a lot to loose if China retaliates to this move because it sold over 46 billion dollars worth of iPhone in China and Taiwan. That’s a lot of money to loose if China bans apple from selling in their country.

4. Plans to stop Chinese firms from acquiring US TECH companies.

A new policy is being prepared to ban Chinese companies from acquiring US companies with significant technology. With this new policy in place, it will be impossible for Chinese companies to acquire any US phone or Tech company. Recall that Lenovo acquired Motorola, a US phone maker and other Chinese firms have already made other acquisitions in the US. Trump is determined to block any further acquisitions thereby frustrating Chinese Tech companies from taking advantage of American technology.



5. Placing high tariffs on Chinese imported products into the US.

President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods will go into effect on 6th of July. The tariffs will target mainly technology products from China such as smartphones, laptops and other products. This tariffs will cause a huge inflation on Chinese goods coming into the US that consumers will be forced to look for other alternatives. I just pity companies like Walmart who import billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods.



Who will win this battle, USA or China ?

When two elephants are fighting, it’s the grass that suffers. Citizens and companies of both sides are going to loose big time! Ultimately,the same American companies Trump is trying to protect will suffer heavy loses. Huawei, ZTE and other phone makers in China buy chips worth billions of dollars from Qualcomm, Intel. That market share will be lost as they’ll look for other sources to get their chips. If China responds by banning America products, Apple, Microsoft, Ford, etc will lost a huge market share as well. Chinese companies doing business in the US will also suffer. If this war escalates and America decides to ban all forms of trade with China, there will be no Chinese android phones anymore because America owns Google and Google owns android. The US government can force Google not to licence the android OS to Chinese phone makers anymore, Facebook Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp SnapChat, YouTube and so on will also withdraw their support for Chinese phones.

How does it affect Nigerians?

It will affect Nigerians very well, infact this is a great nightmare no one ever wish to imagine. Our beloved Tecno, Infinix, Gionee, Xiaomi , Itel etc will be greatly affected and it will be the end of affordable smartphones in Nigeria. What happened to Blackberry will most certainly happen to them. Imagine waking up one morning to hear that Google has withdrawn support for Chinese phones and the phone will just be useless, not completely useless because at least by then you can still be able to make and receive phone calls. Lol! Where will the average Nigerian youth get money for HTC, LG, Sony, Samsung and iPhone ? Let’s just hope it doesn’t get to that and China and USA reaches an agreement really soon because China will not fold it’s hands and watch USA frustrating it’s top Tech companies.

Do you think Trump is right with all these sanctions or he is just being paranoid ? Tell us in the comment section

SOURCE:http://techcapon.com/5-ways-president-trump-is-frustrating-chinese-tech-companies/


It would favour Africa because the price of phones like iPhone would drop as a result of the fall in demand from China hence they have to look for a market elsewhere. Its not entirely gloom.

If you're sure you hit 150 and 250 words, Please remark if you can afford it since it only takes about two weeks. But follow up your request by mailing IDP midway to ensure your script gets to Australia. You can get details on contacting IDP by searching the thread.

I'm sure that I hit the required words, just scared because of what I have read from this forum about IDP.

Wow! So sorry, I really feel your pain. I don't even know what to say. But with this your score, I would suggest u book another test probably with BC this time around and intensify ur writing practice but still practice a few of the other sections.
P.S if u had written with BC now, I would have suggested u raise an EOR but since MOD is famous for not giving a favourable outcome as regards to EOR, and d 45k no be beans, I can't really advice that. Hopefully, others can chip in theirs..
