Vickanek:
Thanks guys now am relaxed ,i think its got to be ABU PG site any info on receipt of transscript on your status guys?

This was how I found out the status of my transcript. First, I went to my former school to inquire about the transcript before going to ABU for the pre PG test. I took note of the date it was mailed to ABU.
Secondly, after the test, I went to the School of Postgraduate Studies ABU and on inquiring, discovered that it was delivered. Case close but fervently praying for success.
So, you must device a way of knowing your transcript's status. Sometimes, the people in those offices don't really care about anyone, it's mostly about the money.
Blessed yuletide to one and all, plus fruitful days ahead.

Aftermath of our exam,let's discuss something more important (I.e admission).
I heard dat VC instructed all d dept to finalise their admission/list b4 Xmas

You mean that they were mandated to prepare the lists and make them public before Christmas? Well, the most important thing now is for one's name to be shortlisted whether before or after Christmas, New Year, Easter etc.
Best wishes y'all.

Jos on my mind! A hearty thanks for the best wishes, y'all. Finally done with the qualifying exam. Made up of two sections: section 1 - essay writing; section 2 - fill in the blanks. Nothing from undergraduate days; more of current affairs and knowledge of course applied for.
As observed earlier on, they were more interested in the registration fee. They didn't check or ask for anything since it won't be their lost.
Thanks for the prayers.

By God's grace, I'm already in ABU and settling down for my test tomorrow. Anyone for Theatre Arts...?

Harzan:


Hi all,
Sorry, had to rest and take mind off d test o jareeee.

To sit for the exam, they ask of 3 things.
1) The evidence of payment, the bank Teller and somw collect cash from venue..... Like that's the most important to them seff.
2) Your identity card... Any ID, voter's card, drivers license or office ID. All were accepted.
3) The print out of your app form. Black n white yaff do ooh, buh am not stopping you from printing coloured.
4) CARRY GOD JOIN BODY!

Good nyt.

@ffrreeee:
They started this common entrance thing or what should I call it just last year for all departments.
So, its just a year PQ available for all concerned dept. Either Nursing oooh, or Doctor'ing'

God bless you, guy. I go just go Internet and explore for undergraduate course materials. And, I'll trust the rest to divine Providence.
Success to one and all, as God wills it.
Thanks, again.

Ogunleye09:
@supo pls I nid u to assist me o. I applied for Msc Geography n I was not invited for the test. Pls hope my application is safe.

Guy, have you tried calling any of the numbers posted on the PG webpage? It's a good place to start. Or if you live near by, or have someone who does they can help you find out from the department.
Also, check the link I posted above, it leads to the other thread.

@Harzan: the good Lord bless you with excellent success. Finally, the mystery is clearing. However, what documents do we need to present at the exam besides the exam fee?
Asper the harmattan, we are so used to it here in Jos.
Thanks bro for the education. Best wishes.

supo19884:
Yes, in samaru but u av to book ahead of time to avoid congestion

I'm grateful to you, sir. Let me see what I can do. Thanks.

Vickanek:
@Supo thanks i appreciate,but i got lost somewhere in your explanation a copy of what am i to take to my department(as advance copy?) i know how to go about requesting my school to give me or send my transcript to another school. My challenge is how fast they can do it because i filled and submited my ABU PG E-FORM just yesterday(which was the last day for submition) and in order to catch up with lost time i want my transcript to be delivered as soon as practicable so i was thinking if asking my sch to send it myself will be advisable THANKS BRO SUPO share your thought once more!

Bro, no need sweating yourself na. You need to just relax. If you can, go to your former school yourself with the Transcript Request Form which you have downloaded by now, no doubt. As you apply for the transcript discuss with the people in charge the possibility of you taking it to ABU yourself.
By the way, I'm sure you know your former school's policy on transcript processing.
For instance, my former school, UJ, doesn't give applicants transcripts. The applicant is mandated to supply recipient's address, choose/pay for any courier service and UJ takes care of the rest. But, even with that, those who know their way actually collect their transcripts themselves.
I think that ABU is only interested in your original transcript, so, how it gets to them is immaterial.
My thoughts though.
PS: Check out this other good thread on same issue

ffrreeee:
so, your own exam fee is 6k, when all others are to pay 5k. It's OK. We shall see when we get there. My own message didn't even include bringing writing materials, so I thought it may be CBT. But let's wait and hear from those that are writing today.

Yes. I was surprised when I saw people here quoting 5k as exam fee while mine says 6k... departmental difference maybe. Fingers crossed though as I pray for smooth sailing for those pioneering this exercise. Like you said, we, definitely, shall see...
To our success!

I've been looking for a thread like this [I even had to create one], since I got the invite for the test on 15/12 from the Dept of Theatre Arts; exam fee is 6k.
This is very surprising considering that nothing about a general qualifying exam was mentioned all through the application process except for one or two courses.
However, the text msg is silent on what I'm required to take to the exam except the fee, date, venue, time and the importance of the test to securing the admission.
Well, I pray that all the mystery will be revealed, once those who write tomorrow let us benefit from their experience.
There is a serious lack of information from ABU about this. I pray for everyone's success.

supo19884:
Nope I didn't but it will test ur background knowledge of the course u are applying for. Note department mode of accessing applicants may differ but some oral only, theory and objectives, theory or objective only.

Much thanks sire. May I know this please, Theatre Arts Dept is cited at Samaru Campus right? Do they have any affordable accommodation around, where one can lodge for a night?

supo19884:
Nope, am an Msc student at the mentioned department but presently in Zaria.

Ok. Did you pass through this screening process as well? Please throw more light. I'm totally in the dark regarding this exercise. Any help at all is highly appreciated.

ffrreeee:
I also applied, and my test is 12/12 as well

That's great. But do you know what's involved? You can educate me please.
Best wishes.

kolomax:
I have no one

No wahala. Good luck.

supo19884:
Applicants for msc and phd mechanical will be conducting their screening and exams this sat 12/12/2015

Good to know. Are you an applicant? I'm applying for Development Communication, Theatre Arts. Do have any idea what the testing is going to be about? For instance, is it general or department specific? Any past questions?

kolomax:
Anybody selling new hot note 2gb 16gb ram here?
Should quote me with price mind you am in Abuja

If you have anyone in JOS, we could have a deal.

Any aspirant of ABU PG PROGRAMME 2015 /2016 here? Let's relate please. I got a text message with date for screening next week, 15/12/2015. So, who has applied please? And, or who has experience in this?

Please, anyone knows anything about FOOD HYGIENE INITIATIVE OF NIGERIA? They offered my friend appointment then ask him to pay 30k as training fee by 6/11 /2015.

Please does anyone know anything about FOOD HYGIENE INITIATIVE OF NIGERIA? A friend came to me with their appointment letter which states that he is employed on Grade level 7- Step 3, that he should pay 30k as training fee by 6/11/2015.
It was the 30k that caught my attention as being somewhat odd—this being neither a workshop nor a seminar. Now, I can't find anything about the organisation online. It claims to be NGO.
Please help out...

Could we have some exact specifications of this very units, please?

May I ask this seemingly simple but totally ignored question:
How many of those who had physically been to Jimmy's and met him in flesh, and chatted with him, and transacted with him, and picked up items from Him had remembered to ask him Lagtech's real identity, real address, real account info, "nameless" shippers' name and addresses etc?

Now, if anyone remembered and did ask, what was Jimmy's response in words and in "body language"?

To the lucky few who got full or part refunds, what medium was used and who did it, from where?

Also to you, MOD in charge, in your next chatting and emailing session with Lagtech, besides giving you dates upon dates, and NL handles upon handles, he should simply tell you these:
His real identity, address, shippers's names and addresses. Anything else, MAY just be a luckyless deep—merry go roundabout—beating about the bush—waiting for godot—endless dark tunnel—freak nightmare circus for those affected.

Lagtech may, yet, be taking everyone affected for a much longer bumpy desert ride.
Hmmmmmm...

I need this phone in JOS — new or used. Supply details pls. Thanks.

Anyone selling this phone in JOS... either new or fairly used? Respond with details pls. Thanks

It is good to see that the thread is gradually picking up. I only wish that, this time, it's for real and not some cruel mirage.

However, like @Resourceman's obobservation, I believe that you're not going about it the right way; @SamBalogun et al have complained of being ignored or receiving ambiguous responses from you. Remember, this was how the initial decay set into the thread, and business, livelihoods, aspirations, emotions and reputations etc were disrupted and murdered.

Now, I don't know exactly what triggered the current flurry of activities here but you are encouraging many to dare to hope and trust in you again. I hope that those fragile hopes will not be dashed to smithereens again.

Having said that, I believe that almost everyone whom you owe, has mailed you their legitimate claims (in response to your call), which you must have verified from your records.

Now, put up a big notice board against one of the walls in your room, make a print out for each person of the following, in excel sheet and paste on it:

1* names of all your creditors (real and NL names);
2* initial amounts, part payments, full payments, balance;
3* items ordered- types and quantity;
4* replacements - types and quantity;
5* etc

If you sincerely mean good this time and truly want to make amends, the essence of doing the above is to be able to attend to and give everyone what is deservedly due to them. Since you know whom you owe, what you owe and what you have; instead of coming to NL to advertise, select a batch of people, base on similarity of item on ground and items ordered, mail them and let tnem decide whether or not to accept replacements. You'll then need to do that again and again until you clean up your mess. You can testify to how some people rush here to make claims while others rightly complain neglect.

So, you may wish to refrain from further "public" advertising for now, not until you successfully clear or reduce the huge backlog of orders/refunds. But advertise through private media to the parties concerned. This may sound tough but damage control and image redemption are never easy.

This is just a piece of advice. Take it? Leave it? It's all yours to call. You'll agree that patience is a virtue that has found newer definitions here, on this thread.

Shalom! May this end well.

This reminds me of the noise "they" made about withdrawing the number on the jersey won by Okwaraji, the day he died on the pitch, playing for Nigeria.

So I thought, maybe, just maybe, the committee setup for that is yet to submit its report...

However, where are the well-meaning, influential people in our society?

Well, God's speed to her.

omenka:
If word on the street is anything to go by, then this man performed incredibly well compared to most of his colleagues. Save for the Governors Forum brouhaha, he conducted himself like true leader during his 8years in the saddle.

May he enjoy a peaceful retirement.

Bros, I don't know where you are, I have no quarrel with you, but it seems you heard from the wrong people. And, do you mind telling me how "he conducted himself like a true leader"? Have you wondered why he's handing over a traditional PDP stronghold to the APC on the Plateau?

Though he actually started well, like they all do (so full of promise and brilliance) but ended very badly. As far as majority of Plateau people are concerned, it's good riddance bad, smelly rubbish

Lol. The phone no get face ni?

adino:


So it is PGEJ that will now suggest and provide quick fix for them It is obvious apc has no agenda and knowledge of how to manage Nigeria. The only agenda they had was to remove PGEJ, and now their eyes are clear.

See this one... So, eagerly displaying your gift of lack of comprehension in public without shame, and even frothing at the mouth. FYI the ToR is for the APC's Transition Committee.

On the other hand, you seem to suggest that should the APC's government genuinely ask for positive inputs from outside the APC, Nigerians should not respond, abi?

Most times, be quick to read/listen and understand but slow to comment.
