Last year I travelled with less than 480k via Cotonou but u will need to stop at Turkey.. One stop over

I'm sure it will be more than that now coupled with the stress Air Peace will be the best at the moment with about 825k for direct flight

The best time to travel to UK in terms of flight as Air Peace now have direct flight at less that #1m. Unfortunately, UK don cast
Pls who has used this Airline to UK?

femisplash:

Your own propaganda is to absorb the sheer irresponsibility of your Governor?. The President has signed the new electricity bill whereby the states can generate and transmit power. Has your Governor followed through? or you've been directed to scream at Abuja when your Governor has been given the power to attract investors and light up your state. You go dey alright.

All your useless Tinubu is interested in is to shift responsibility while holding bulk of the money. Let him sign for resource control then. Muumuu people everywhere

femisplash:

Is your Governor not collecting more money since the removal of subsidy?. What's he been doing with more money he collects?, he chases you away to go bark at Abuja while he steals away your future and that of your family.

What is your useless Tinubu doing with his own?

What is federal government doing with the increased allocation as well? Wage award has been stopped long ago

nairalanda1:


You should forget about the tribe. It has nothing to do with what is happening.

For over 5 decades, you have lived with the illusion that fuel is cheap. The illusion is breaking, and we are seeing what other African countries are seeing...that fuel is expensive. Very much so.

Tinubu is trying so hard to maintain the illusion. But as you can see cracks are appearing

It is time we all accepted fuel was never cheap in the first place. Maintaining the illusion has cost us billions of naira and four refineres.

So you're advocating for more increase in pump price so that prices of food items could go up again? What has govt done with the trillions gotten from the subsidy that's already removed? For your information, I work for the federal government, till today, I have not received my January salary just like others. Wage award that was promised to be paid from September last year has only been paid twice, with some just once. Again I ask, what has government done with the trillions they've been making since subsidy removal?

This is the worst govt I have ever seen. January salary that's supposed to come as early as 25th January.

E no go better for Tinubu and all those that voted him

By the Nation newspaper

Today is 30th but no news of salary, not even core ministries. We're on a long thing

Smokey5:
Worst government ever buhari said we will miss him I guess he was right...
Regardless of your ethnicity, get your voters card and do justice when the time comes or continue in poverty while the elitist government of tinubu continues to feed fat

They will never change my brother. Especially those people that bown to the ground. Sorry to say but that's the fact

If election is called tomorrow some people here will still because of tribe and religion vote for them. Muumuu people everywhere

I remember packing into a new apartment during the day and the tenants were asking themselves if we were from the bush (oko in Yoruba).

I have suffered in this life. God, I need a break through

Ok

Tinubu is a mistake of a President

If you voted for this govt and you're complaining here... you're mad

JohnZak:
Yes!

You are limited by the number of hours you can work as an F1 student (20 hours during Fall and Spring and 40 hours in summer) and not the type of assistantship. An example would be an international student who works 10 hours as an RA on a professor's research grant and 10 hours as a TA in spring or fall. In this case, the RA is probably not doing first-line research but more administrative or ancillary duties related to the research that the grant is funding. As a TA doing 10 hours, you are also likely doing supportive TA duties and not necessarily teaching. Things like managing office hours for students, probably grading papers, entering grades into blackboard etc. In summer, students can work up to 40hours and can work as both an RA and a TA since you are unlikely to get a TA that offers 40hrs, except you are teaching more than one class.

Perfectly explained

MrSoftlife:


Most of the people I know who got into GSU have a very high GPA (first class).
Their full funding came with their admission letter (no separate application) and then again you haven't stated the program you applied to.



Did you share with the graduate school your reason for deferring and have you submitted your SOA?

Be intentional and let them know what you are looking for. Send a mail, you might be lucky to even get a position as a Graduate Assistant.

Work on your CV very well to show competency in either GA, TA, or RA ( or the triple) positions.

Is there any instance where one could get more than one assistantship position? For instance getting both TA and RA in the same program? Just wondering

Pennyseo2:



I won't argue with you but you can't discredit what I just said based on your account.

I repeat... All that came in September 70 to 80% haven't got job until now.What I stated is the pure fact based on information from 4 different cities.. Then mine making it 5.

I have people in 4 different cities... Most travel 2 hours to their work place. That's the only place they could secure a job. And most of this jobs comes through referer


I now have a job after 5 months of staying idle.

I have to do a specialise certification that restricted others from doing this kind of job and it cost me over 900 pounds before I got the certificate and licence.



Are you paying me to make post on nairaland that I should just stand up and be lying?

You're over-generalizing. Someone just corrected you yet you don't want to keep to correction. Again, don't forget that some people are unemployable. You and your friends might be an example

And tomorrow someone will say one Nigeria

Nigerians should start moving to Benin republic at least there is safe

oluyemi123:

The point is that when they are looting , stealing, sharing the national cake there is no Muslim or Christians, no Igbo , Yoruba,Hausa ,Efik ,Ibibio all of them will unite. When they are to buy vehicles for themselves despite people telling them to patronise made in Nigeria vehicles like innoson they United and went for Toyota but APC didn't reject, PDP didn't reject,LP didn't reject,ANPP didn't reject, Christian didn't reject,Muslim didn't reject.
But when it comes to our level we will be fighting religion, tribes etc . Bad Governance is bad Governance not about tribe or religion.

But if election comes tomorrow OLUYEMI will still vote based on tribe or religion. Make una de deceive una self

jswagg4:


Exactly. When one news story was breaking down how the money stolen by the previous accountant general was shared, I kid you not, there were Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba names and other tribes. There were Muslim and christian names. Most recently, the former minister of humanitarian affairs was accused of corruption and one James, who is not from the north and is not a Muslim was also accused of siphoning billions of naira from the ministry.

Up there, they are United In their massive corruption across religious and tribal lines, but they use the same religion and tribe to divide the masses and keep them fighting and constantly suspecting each other. Oh how foo.. lish we are!
Even Peter Obi who I voted for, can easily have access and a meeting with President Tinubu, while those insulting him cannot smell aso rock gate.

Till we wake up and unite, we're phucked

What is your point exactly?

sinero:


We d visionary ones.

You mean the tribalistic ones

hopexter:


Speak for yourself and your hate filled kinsmen.
The same Nigerians voted him in and are always looking forward to his speech.

Which Nigerians voted him

Alexis11:


Which Court convicted him as a druggie?

Seun this is one of the people that will end your forum if not checked. All these talks have legal consequences.

Tinubu is a confirmed druggie... deal with it

tunjijones:
U people should rest. So he shd resign because Peter obi did not win.

How come you pple accepted the result of Abia. State? Why didn't you reject that too.

Muumuu argument

This is the first time in my 8 years of work experience that I will not receive salary before New Year day. And you say people should not talk about M-M ticket? No way

Modified:
For those ranting, if people mentioning M-M ticket pains you then you have the next available transformer to romance. Bad governance but if election is tomorrow you will still vote for the same individuals based on religion and tribe.

You can imagine the kind of useless news below. December salary has paid like how Wage award will be paid soon...and I ask, which of the months?? October, November or December??

May the life of all those that voted for this govt be run by God the same way they're running Nigeria

Pls let's all parties cease fire

I got there quite early at exactly 5:10am and was the second person there. Everywhere was quiet and was looking like people has given up on applying for US Visa....Around 6:15am, everywhere was filled up. We were then called in around 6:25am and we went through the stressful process of the checkings, verification and thumbprinting.

Interview
On entering the interview hall, I was already shivering because of the AC☺️ and I am the 2nd on the queue. We went through the thumbprinting procedure. The lady that did thumbprinting for us left window 5 to come interview us for window 7. We are getting tired already because we were left on the queue for over 30mins. After the first applicant, then came my turn.

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning, how you doing today and compliment of the season
VO: Thank you
VO: Who is sponsoring your education?
Me: I secured a fullu funded scholarship which covers my stipend, tuition and health insurance.
Vo: Okay.... (continue typing, I just kept my gaze on her )
VO: Okay, I will be approving your Visa....she handed over the white slip and withheld my I-20 and passport....I then bounce out

I couldn't believe my eyes I was asked just a question and that's it......This is GRACE at work and nothing more. I want to appreciate @ Lateefah☺️⁩ and @⁨~Opeyemi⁩ for the various mock sessions (these guys really helped me, I remember my first mock session, it was just trash☺️😌😌 and hence more practice which I later lost count of at some point.....Thank you so much and I am so grateful. Once again, thank you so much...…

I just believed I was favoured because have never read a transcript with just a question before. Thank you guys and more of funding news and visa approval. Just that single YES, it will definitely come, Keep at it💪
