Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by McSterling(m): 6:10am On Jan 12, 2023
I got a refusal letter last week and have been waiting for passport pickup email from TLS ever since. Is it advisable for me to go their office without receiving this email?

I know they sometimes fail to send the email even when the passport is ready for collection.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Could This Job Offer Be Scam!!! by McSterling(m): 9:54am On Jan 05, 2023
Jaylite10:
Please guys I need urgent and mature response to this issue.

I am a graduate and currently working as a real estate broker in Abuja.

Recently a friend of mine who happened to be my brother in-law told me of a job offer in portharcourt at a company( an international company persay) who were ready to pay him in dollars every week.

The problem was that he has to pay N650k for international working documents, dollar account and other stuffs to commence training.

I don't know what happened next, I later heard he's there already and he wants to create opportunity for me too.

So he requested for my details which I sent to him. Lately yesterday he called telling me I was confirmed for the job replacement and I also have to pay N650k to get the job.

I didn't say anything to him yet aside telling him I'll get back to him.

I'm having a double feeling about this seeing the fact that this is someone I know in person, that's why I brought it here.

Thank you guys!

A scam.

No legit company will ask you to pay for employment.

DonFreshmoney:
Happy Holidays everyone...This is the last Christmas during Buhari APC regime, and we pray for better Christmas celebration in the future. However, many people will be munching, grinding and mowing different type of delicacies today.

What will you be eating today? Post pictures or videos of your food, lets salivate and celebrate with you.

As for me, I am based in Vancouver Canada, so I and few girlfriends are preparing various meas, such as chicken, soup (eforiro), rice and stew. The plan is to invite Nigerians around to come celebrate with us.

Cooking nothing.

Buying takeaway like I always do wink

Merry Christmas �

This is my favourite one. Followed by "Slipping" and "Get it on the Floor". Also love his lines from The LOX's "Money, Power, Respect". RIP DMX.

Religion / Re: I Saw Angel Michael Descend From Heaven Saying "I'm Here To Protect You" by McSterling(m): 4:34pm On Sep 19, 2020
So Angel Michael is protecting you but has been consistently failing to protect Christians getting abducted and killed by bandits and Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria?

I marvel at the inflated sense of self-importance that religion imbues its adherents with. Smh.

You and your dad are egungun on the express at the moment... there’s loads of covid 19 scams springing up all over the place. Confirmation is good before obliging to their request.

That's why I opened this thread.
Health / Covid-19 Emergency Food Response: Has Anyone Received This SMS? by McSterling(m): 12:13pm On Mar 30, 2020
Good day everyone.

My dad has just received an sms from 34461 asking him to confirm his address in order to benefit from the Lagos State Emergency Food Response Package. The text stated both his name and home address. Has anybody received same or can anyone confirm that this is for real? I'm scared scammers might be up to something. Thanks.

Already did all these but the problem persists.
Computers / Notorious Windows 10 Data Consumption by McSterling(m): 8:40am On Feb 07, 2020
Hi guys.

I've been having data consumption issues on Windows 10 home edition. I use a Lenovo ideapad 110. My WiFi connection is metered and I have also disabled windows update under both services and group policy. I also turned off background apps data.

The problem is that I rarely get any warning when I'm drawing close to the metered limit. And when I finally get the notification that I have reached the limit, my data would have been consumed far far beyond the limit. This happens even when I've barely loaded a page on my browser. I have no idea what is responsible for the data consumption. I have checked both data usage overview and app history under task manager, but they show very little data consumption, mostly zero or less than 2 MB. I suspect windows updates are somehow still running irrespective of all the restrictions I've put in place.

Please help me out if you can. I've run out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

@otokx, do newly admitted students need to travel to UNIPORT for registration yet or can everything be done online?

It's doesn't concern them . It's the candidate and jamb.
Remember if we don't change, we won't be able to print our jamb admission letter.

I was trying to say UNIPORT doesn't seem to be saying anything about the change of course and printing of admission letter from the jamb site.

Check your transfer protocol. My cousin's own now has an option to accept the supplementary course.

So even when it says "successful", one still can't be guaranteed the application went through? I did it twice and it was successful on both occasions but I'm having serious doubts now.

Good morning comrade otokx
I just checked my caps now. My institution is already showing University of Porthacourt and my preferred course is there also but my admission status is showing Not admitted. What's going on?

Oh just seeing this.
Education / Re: 2020/2021 UNIPORT Admission Thread Guide by McSterling(m): 11:31am On Nov 18, 2019
Divay22:

No. That's if you've not been giving admission.
Once you're given admission your course and institution will show.

I just noticed the course and institution is showing now. But it's the initial course that's showing, not the supplementary one. Admission status is still negative. You?
