cytre: the essence of your Original WAEC cert is to see your actual DOB, cos they believe you couldnt av used a forged age in sec. Schl

of course i understand, thanks. but that wud to some extent mean that "A valid proof of age (Birth Certificate or Affidavits)" requirement is a formality wrt the waec cert for DOB.

anyway guys pls

1. how long in time is the essay were to write and how long in A4 pages.
2. what was the task required to do with regards to the essay. as in what does the essay question say.
thanks

whizkidy: Was it caleb that asked for the WAEC? You can go with your NECO but I doubt if they won't request for your WAEC.

twas caleb.

1. did YOU present both NECO nd WAEC?

2. Was there any mention of NECO in your documentation invite BY THE TIME U GOT URS or simply "WAEC."

Thanks

bravehost4u: tell me about urself not on your CV?
Discuss ur work experience?
Know about the bank well.
Always listen to the questions before answering and pay attention to details,
talk with confidence even if u are wrong.
Success

is this a second or first interview pls?

whizkidy: you just have to present it whether you pass or fail. Only them know what they wanna do with it.

But how does your invite for documentation look like. must one present BOTH waec AND neco. i want to go with both statements of result and the neco cert. cos my DOB on waec cert doent align. during the test he asked for my waec cert i simply told him i only have the neco but was allowed to write.
my invite for test:

We strongly recommend that you come with ALL the documents specified below;
· Identification documents - (Driver's License, Passport or National ID card)
· Passport Photograph
· University Degree (not lower than 2.2)
· A valid proof of age (Birth Certificate or Affidavits)
· O' Level certificate WAEC & NECO (Minimum of 5 Credits including Math &
English)
· NYSC discharge certificate

im thinking of telling him, in case next time, that what was stated in the requirement was "O' level certificate" and not "O level certificateS"

@whizkidy

whizkidy: You can go with your drivers license. There is no problem about it. Its just to identify you. But more important is your WAEC.

like what about the waec, cos i will be presenting neco?

Pls guy that went with drivers license shud pls tell me sth about there documentation

@tracy thanks so much for that information. but there is DOB discrepancy when it comes to my gtb acc personal info. can anything be done on that, @all

whizkidy: When is your documentation bro?

@whizkidy, my bad here. i only got the test success msg, awaiting documentation date. btw whiz, which form of ID did u use. i dont want to be the only one or among very few? with drivers license. hope they wont ask how i got it. or is it better to go do the passport type of ID. will i be asked questions when presenting certs and ID or they will just look at it. let me know ur best thought on this. thanks in antici.

@all, pls what was the most concern noticed with respect to ID during documentation? was it an issue of not coming with one of the 3 IDs or was it issues with something about the ID. thanks so much @all, i appreciate

@all, i wonder why questions from new comers to this thread are sometimes left unanswered. anyways, my test yesterday was one that required speed...@loladeking nice to know u did well at the interview.
guys pls who have an idea why gtb interviewers want to know if one has an account with them cos i do. just that theres some big diff with the DOB tinz. or will having an acc with them simply say im truely interested in them to them.

2ndly, guys, ive just checked and lo i have the invite for documentation. pls how does documentation go. is it something about defending ur certs cos my drivers license (QUICKLY OBTAINED IN NO TIME THRU THE MEANS) may raise something. so guys which ID did u show mostly. i lay in thorns awaiting ur response. lol.

Cheers and i wish us all success!!!

A robot called Cheetah has set a new world speed record for legged robots, running faster than the fastest human.

The headless machine, funded by the Pentagon, reached 28.3mph (45.5km/h) when tested on a treadmill.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt's top speed is 27.78mph (44.7km/h).

The project is part of efforts to develop robots for military use. One robotics expert told the BBC that it was "unfortunate" the Cheetah was made primarily "to kill people".

It has been created by the Massachusetts robotics company Boston Dynamics and backed by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa).

According to Darpa, the aim is to "more effectively assist war fighters across a greater range of missions".

The Cheetah, which is powered by a hydraulic pump, broke its own record of 18mph (29km/h), recorded in February.

"The Cheetah had a slight advantage over Bolt as it ran on a treadmill," Darpa said in a statement, "but most of the power Cheetah used was to swing and lift its legs fast enough, not to propel itself forward."

The agency plans to test the robot in the field in 2013.

BlackBaron: Dang! I got banned by the spambot and my post got hidden.

There's a new Chinese quadcore phone. 'Xiaomi Phone 2' 4.3 inch ips display,16gb and all. Ships with MIUI UI and jellybean as stock. @$310 that's certainly a deal breaker.

"The Xiaomi Mi-Two is going to be the fastest smartphone on the market when it launches in October. We've seen dual-core Krait CPUs stand up to quad-core Cortex-A9 designs (Tegra 3, Exynos 4), but the APQ8064 chipset has four Krait cores, 2GB of RAM and Adreno 320 (over the Adreno 225 of current Snapdragon S4s). Xiaomi promises Xbox 360-like graphics performance and that might not just be PR talk."

great phone i think. i wish to know what fellow nlers think about it

I really dont think i need the too expensive phones where something like this can do virtually all the jobs, plus more, said expensive phones do.only 45 naira with iphone-like performance. will try and get this even if not sold in nigeria.

Xiaomi, China’s Apple challenger, unveils hotly anticipated Mi2 quad-core-powered smartphone
China is the world’s biggest mobile phone market, with a billion users, and with 35% of Chinese accessing the Internet exclusively through mobile devices. But while Apple is making inroads into the Chinese market with their latest iPhone and new iPad, there’s another strong contender in the smartphone scene: Xiaomi. The company, dubbed China’s iPhone, has just launched version two of its hotly anticipated smartphone release.

Xiaomi launched the Mi-One at about this time last year, initially with a limited release. Demand quickly outpaced supply, and Xiaomi had to make subsequent releases in batches, but that still did not satisfy the Chinese smartphone users’ craving for a quality device sold at a reasonable price. With their second release, Xiaomi is upping the ante, with specs found to be superior to the Samsung Galaxy S III — at least based on benchmarks — and with a tiered model setup, so that users have a choice.
Xiaomi Mi2

The Xiaomi Mi2 — yes, I’ve always thought it would be named the “me too” — comes with the following specs:

1.7 GHz Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
Adreno 320 GPU
2GB of RAM
16GB internal storage
4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen at 1280×720 pixel resolution
8 megapixel rear camera (with upgraded F/2.0 lens)
2 megapixel front camera
HDMI-compatible USB port
HSPA+ connectivity up to 42 Mbps

The Xiaomi Mi-Two will run the company’s MIUI v4 skin of Jelly Bean. The Mi2′s USB port will let users connect the phone to a compatible television set, for an improved multimedia experience. The best thing about the Mi2 is the price. Xiaomi will sell the phone for 1,999 RMB or about $314.

Smartphones from Xiaomi - founded only two years ago but already worth more than Blackberry maker Research in Motion, according to private market valuations - have proved so popular they sell out in minutes after going on sale online. The company, founded by CEO Lei Jun, said last month its first-half revenue was close to $1 billion as it sold more than 3 million phones.

what do naija guys think about this?

.

with respect to the forgone alternative
WHY

boomssey: .same here 2 but am so suprised getin dis frm a guy "sex after marriage",wow.a guy lik u is rear.

do U need sex when uve had all the sex already

Mynd_44: How about the feeling that you are the closest person to a person whom you are extremely happy at being his/her friend and you are using this as a test run for when you say "I do"

im lost

@onila u no go kill us with all these beauties oh

na lie

unamama: u av a vry big point here, sincerely i av learnt 4rm ur post... so wat do u suggest i do now?

@unamama, I hate to disappoint u but u no be like person wey get wahala o. I only have this one word for u:

COMMUNICATION

its important to fully accept the fact that virtually all girls understand basic relationship dynamics: simply put, that she shudnt stretch herself to get to u n that u shud be the one "struggling" to get to her. Most girls are kind of programmed to think this way n ur girl is only one of them. This is especially so when the relationship is not fully or well defined. The reasons why they be this way wud be another topic, another day. Trust me, it is not that ur girl is so dumb she didnt know she shud have flashed u or so when she came back or that she forgot to call u as promised, she just has to be this way because of what i'll simply call the reasons. To her, shes only being natural. There is really no need getting angry at her or getting surprised when she calls. Most times they think things are in a state of balance or theres no prob.
all u need here is just a very flat table with two drinks on it plus a gentle smile on ur face. TELL HER. TALK ABOUT IT. LET HER KNOW THE RIGHT WAY, THE WAY U WANT IT. dont expect nature to be organized enough for the right communication to be there. U lead man. A girl most likely will remain in her default unless u let her know its ok and expected of her to be more responsive.
eg. this is what i did some years ago, a new friend: i txted her times, asking few questions forher to respond, putting the mark for her to know the txt wants a response, setting it to request response. no response. but when i told her. guess what she said:
"okaaayy"
then she was texting me freely feeling safe about it. eg

Abeg mek una nor kill the OP na. Abi una neva see mistake before. But mehn @OP u really need to improve ur thinking o (it will really help even beyond this present problem or topic).

mikeuz: It hate when I ask a girl out and she gives me 'I will think about it' response.

So it got me thinking how do people ask their girlfriends out to avoid that kind of response.

Cud be different reasons for different girls actually. most likely she does not see some fit btw the two of you, hence she tries to prevent future awkward situations. she just helping u 2 u see. 2. she cud also see u as not capable enough when its the financial, hence the i will think about it, only used to delay the NO "politely". well it can be nigeria for u too.
btw, this is assuming u didnt ask her out this way: "ok girl, im going to ask u out now..."
Big Advice: dont ask like ur asking, just tell her to come join u, in a way, because ur having fun and she needs it so ur helping her n she will humbly hurry. but if u ASK she will proudly ponder

unamama: what does it mean when u call ur gf, after sometimes promises to call back cos she is busy but never calls?

@op i kinda think u have a good question there. it cud mean a whole lot of things, most likely shes being immature. it cud also mean u for one are being a bit boring - or sth -ve - when u spoke to her over the phone. hence she politely dismisses with the famous "i will call u later" girls normally use. most times, especially when u later keep cracking ur brain over what it cud mean, it is just an easy way to tell u "u dont seem to have much to say now, call me back when u do"
there is this chick that is so currently into me (i mean real chick, hot, beautiful, killer this n that, never for once asked for rechg, my last caller as i type this, etc etc). just few months ago when i sounded like a little "fighting" (for some reason) she just went stranger on me n used the "i will call u later" i'd heard but never understood. mehn was i shocked. but guess what she added: "...erhmm if i say call u... call me if i dont call u". Hmm, so into me dont u think

@ konami i sent u an email

WOW, good to be here on this epoch making thread. Read most part of it really. Lets keep it alive guys. Any idea when the calls for SRD will start?
