Are you planning to write GRE? I would suggest you do and focus more on the QA and AW. Most schools (not so sure about recent times) focus on GRE as a decision maker for Economics PhD (talking from experience).

Also, you mind sharing what school you finished from and how your Mathematics/Statistics, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics grades are? Would you consider attending a terminal master's in economics before proceeding to a PhD?

I wish I can write the GRE but the fee is just not here...over two months salary if I'm not mistaking. I have been focusing on schools that made GRE optional or those that do not request for it at all... especially European countries.

I finished from UNN, the courses you listed were fairly ok at undergraduate but excellent at PG (As few B).

If the terminal Masters will be sponsored, I could definitely, but my target is direct PhD

NUELUSA2023:
What course are you going for?

Your profile is already competitive, but like someone mentioned, address the Bsc GPA in your SOP.

Also apply to schools that require application fees, it will broaden your chances.

Economics
Thanks for the words

GboyegaD:
I am not sure you should be bothered about your low CGPA. Find schools who have your program of interest and is comfortable with your CGPA. Just make sure you address the low CGPA and all you have done to make yourself suitable for the program in your CGPA.

Thank you for this

Very naive people who can't strategize. Na nzobu nzobu gra gra dem sabi. Instead of them to collect September first. Well CBN no dey under them sha and federal agencies like presidency, judiciary, customs are rumoured to have started collecting September salary. Although I'm not sure they are under ippis like the reste

If you don't have savings from what you have been earning since this year to sustain you then is better you resign from this job.

This strike will be total and indefinite

Total and indefinite strike is the way to go. We have a very insensitive govt in power. Over 4 months after pump price moved from 180 to 610, your workers are still receiving the same salary and you're asking them to be patient

Greetings to the gurus here for the great work you are doing.

For someone with 3.23 GPA in BSc, 4.90 in PGD and 4.69 in MSc, with 2 scopus publication and 1 already accepted, and one Thomson Reuters also accepted (all first author); with about 2 years lecturing experience, what are the chances like for a PhD considering the low BSc GPA

I noticed most US schools emphasize more on BSc GPA

This is something that should have started since January this year, almost a year after, we're seeing memo when we don't even know when they will start paying.

So what's the congratulations for

Government has really dealt with Nigerians to the extent that if they punish you by 200% and just favour you by 1% you will start dancing and forget the punishment

Solution gotten

Acekidc4:
You did not Post the X-ray Pictures for us to Look at, how do you expect us to now give you Advice like this 🤔🤨

That's the result up there. I can't post picture here

Waiting for your response

A friend complained to a Dr. about pains in his back just below the left rib and burning sensation in the legs.... the legs become chilly at times. The Dr. recommended an X-RAY in the back and the following result was given. He met another Dr. with the result who then prescribed some drugs. Unfortunately, he could not met the particular Dr. that recommended the X-ray. That's the problem with government hospital.

Pls who can recommend a better treatment for this. Thanks to all the Doctors in the house

X-ray results
1. There is loss of lumbar lordosis
2. The vertebral bodies, disc spaces, and posterior elements
3. Prevertebral soft tissue shadows are unremarkable

Impression: Muscle spasm

Ok

Parachoko:
well, I don't think Majority of Nigerians will agree with your opinion .

I'm sure those liking your comments are robots

Hold your local government and state government well. Not every thing is federal or buhari or Tinubu

You're a muuumuu man. So it's my LGA chairman that made dollar to be 1k and fuel to be 850 per liter 😏

Rinoxy:
But complaining too would change absolutely nothing about it.
I share in his thought. Salaries would commence tomorrow through Monday.

Agbado fans ....we don see una

jswagg4:
They pay on some weekends sha. The 2 day public holiday coupled with the glitch that resulted in double payment of some people complicated everything. Hopefully between Friday and Monday, all will be paid

Never give excuse for failure

Quick one guys, can Leadway Travel insurance work for the insurance requirement? I intend doing health insurance when I get there as it will be covered by my funding agency.

An Igbo group of the All Progressives Congress is soliciting N26 million from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to organise a rally to rally support for Bola Tinubu as the ruling party’s presidential candidate.

In a letter seen by Peoples Gazette, the Ndigbo group asserted that “a minimum of four thousand five hundred people with PVCs who are members (of) our great party APC of Igbo extraction in Lagos” would attend the rally scheduled to be held at Blue Roof hall in Ikeja.

“Therefore, with this number of people, we hereby present to you a very modest budget of approximately twenty-six million four hundred thousand naira (26,400,000.00) only,” added the letter addressed to Joe Igbokwe, a special adviser to the Lagos governor on drainage and water resources.

A breakdown of the fund comprises N4.5 million for branded caps, N8.4 million for mobilisation, N1.3 million for the venue, N1.3 million for entertainment, N270,000 for music, N100,000 for garden eggs and kola and so forth.

Organisers of the rally projected that 4,500 Igbo members would participate in the rally.

They include Nd’Igbo in APC Lagos covering the executives and leaders in the 57 LGAs and LCDAs, Ohaneze executives in all LGAs, Igbo-speaking community executives, executives of the 58 major markets in Lagos state and executives of over 100 town unions in Lagos.

In January, the London-based Financial Times put the cost of Nigeria’s presidential election at $2 billion, a sum that the politician would loot the nation’s treasury to recover if elected.

“It takes an estimated $2 billion to get a president elected. Those who pay will expect to be paid back,” the newspaper wrote.

I don't understand how this month salary was paid by FG. Some persons in UNIBEN have revyand some have not or is it my bank First bank that is causing the delays.

The damage this dreaded APC govt has done to the university system is immeasurable.

NASU and SSANU called off their strike on the 24th of August (meaning they work for one week in August) but no salary has been paid yet for that month or week if they wish to pay by week. Are they saying the one week work done after months of starvation is going to be free work? Which type of heart does these people in govt has? It is just so unfortunate.

May it never be well with the generation of anybody that will vote for APC in next year's Presidential election

NOETHNICITY:
I’m sure this is definitely the handwork of obituary people. Their footprints are everywhere here, they even brag about their intolerance. They did it during endsars. They are doing every Monday in the SE.
But they should be made to understand that no one has the monopoly of violence.

Your mumu get Phd

AmandaLuv:
Alerted few minutes ago. September salary only. MOUAU!

This is so unfair. I stand with ASUU now. This government is wicked and insensitive. Only ASUU understands this government well.

Unfortunately for most of us, if that one month salary comes we will not even see it due to accumulated loan interest payment. Is only God that will judge Buhari, Ngige and Adamu Adamu

Akurakambe:
Just 1 month o

Is well

Akurakambe:
Alert received yesterday..


Unizik.... UBA

Pls has any university staff received salary? I'm hearing rumors of payment of 2 months salary

tsephanyah:
don't forget what they did to you. Vote Atiku or Obi, and pls go out and vote

God forbid Atiku. We need fresh air

ObiDatti all the way

I have never seen a govt as useless as that of APC

Adamu Adamu really carried NASU, NAAT and SSANU correct handicap

N3TRAL:
These are the middle belt and northern Christians that will vote Labour Party abi?

Tinubu will win the middle belt/North Central before 6pm on election day. That is certain.

Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa and Niger States as it stands today are on lockdown for him!

It's good that you avoided Benue, Plateau and Abuja. This list also show that you guys only hope of Muslim votes. Let's see how it goes

seunayantokun:
The ticket and the ticketers, and the Atikulate have lost it. Yorùbá people are out of the shiti.

Ticketers

Tinubu ti lule

God bless the incoming President of Nigeria, His Excellency P. G. O.

Kingdemu:
