Not to deviate from the question? To give tithe or give it to the sick instead. Now, my own take is this, if you believe nothing should stand against your tithe and God; and the tithe you’ve given in the past has worked for you undeniably, then by all means you know what to do already. For the giving of a sick person, the Bible encourages us to help those in need, especially the household of faith. If you are a giver, God will unrepentantly be committed to making sure you do not lack a seed in your hand. If God lays it on your heart to help a sick person or anyone in need, I am certain beyond any reasonable doubt that He’s going to make a provision for that. I’m telling you from experience. Now the thing is this, you will never get a uniform answer to this question, especially on this platform because we have different views to this matter. While some might approach the question intellectually or commonsensically( if there’s anything like that), some may do so theologically or philosophically, others as they are led by God himself.

To OP, if you have confusion about this kind of question or any other one, I think it will do you good to approach a spiritual leader whose advice or opinion you value; but much more, the Holy Spirit is the best bet. There are certain spiritual truths that are not taught you by men. You must encounter them through your relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is meant to GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH.

Shalom

chisco82:
Honestly sir, you are begining to annoy me with your raps and rhethoricals about christianity. You said you are an atheist, why forcing yourself on issues that has to do with christian faith, why can't you mind your believe for God's sake or are you an agent of the devil sent to decive those of little faith? I don't see you comenting in this manner on any Islam post or thread.
Please stop coming into the christian thread to argue what you don't know. Christian faith is not logic.
Please can you and freez should tell us where how the "J" in Judah & Jerusalem comes about.

Please gurus will like to postponed my exam booked for next week to give me more ample time to prepare how can i go about it??

I’m also going for MS Biotech Fall 2019. Let’s connect if you don’t mind.

mayort12:
Thanks, Msc preferably. I'm more interested in related fields such as biotechnology and molecular biology.
Can we relate please?
Thanks.

Well, what I think is that some bank officers may be selling private infos to these fraudsters because the accuracy of some of their words sometimes leave one wondering how they know about it in the first place.

This is sooooo hilarious!

Good day house. Please I need suggestions of schools that accept less than 3.0... I’m also doing my own research, but I wouldn’t mind a help from us.

Good evening e-fam. Please I need urgent response to a Q. My GRE is coming up in Sept. and I'm narrowing down schools to apply to. My proposed course is MS Biotechnology, and I've spoken to a few grad coord (especially because of my low GPA of 2.8/4). I’m one of the no funding, no going set of people.

Advice and suggestions are welcome please!

Here is my current profile:

Undergraduate Major: Microbiology
Proposed MS Major: Biotechnology
GPA: 2.8/4
GRE: Writing by Sept
Year of graduation: 2014
NYSC completion: 2016
Work Experience: One year as Research Assistant and 1+ years working in a Biomedical Research firm.

Does anyone know how i can go about getting funding. Few graduate coords that I spoke with only mentioned that my GRE score and SOP will go a long way in determining if I will be admitted. I don't want to ruin the conversation by asking if I'll qualify for funding, because many grad coords did not even respond to my mail which discussed availability of funding.

Kindly help o, 'cos I've been on this issue since 2016.

Thank for the input bruv.

mfarad:
I second the grad coords on the impact of a good GRE score and a solid SOP. From your profile, I see you have some research experience. Sell it to PIs! Let any faculty you contact know about your research experience and how it relates to their research (peruse their publications on ResearchGate )... Hence, for funding, you should be contacting faculty in research areas that closely aligns with yours, not the grad coordinator. The Grad/program coordinator is more like a gate keeper except his/her research area is of interest to you. You may ask Grad coords about general funding scenario in their program e.g in some programs, only PhDs are funded.

All the best in your GRE!

Guy, you got me cracking my ribs!

Now, this is a transcript! Congratulations bro

TheGrandChemist:



Visa approved 3rd of July, 2018. Lagos Consulate.

My interview transcript:

After highlighting from my Camry (LoL. I mean a Uber ride o) at the US embassy, I was motioned to come in for a check by a security officer. After the check was completed, he explained that a phone won't be allowed into the consulate. I had this knowledge even before he said this, but I had to come along with my phone because of the Uber app. Well, I was granted access into the consulate after giving the security officer what he requested for (N1,000 to help secure my phone). Everyone just using the slightest opportunity to hustle in Nigeria.

Well, after progressing through that stage, another check was done on us by some security officers too, to confirm that we are not in possession of the prohibited items mentioned. On completion of that, we were addressed by a female consulate officer and were told to arrange ourselves in two rows; first row was for immigrant visa, and the second row for non-immigrant visa. (while all these transpired, we were still outside the consulate). We were then ushered into the consulate. In the consulate, another security check was done. This time, we were told to unhook our belts and place in a tray. The tray contained our belts and our documents; the trays were taken past a security check machine to check for any suspicious object. When the checks were completed, we retrieved our belts and documents.

We were then ushered into another office for documents verification. When that was completed, we progressed into the next stage, which is the biometrics, where we had to do our fingerprints.

And here comes the next stage, which happens to be the most crucial stage; the interview proper - The Judgement Day (LoL).
The atmosphere was pretty tensed, seeing applicants receiving blue papers made matter even worse. At some point, I was getting scared, but I had to summon courage based on Edo boy wey I be. There was a guy who I even thought would have his visa approved; Lo and behold, he was denied, even after all his elaborate explanation. The guy already has a master's degree, but was going for another master's degree in the USA. There was another man who works with MTN Nigeria as a site engineer, but wanted to go for a master's degree in the USA. The guy did well to answer the questions thrown to him alas, he was still denied. At this point, I was scared to the bones. While I was standing there waiting for my turn I witnessed countless interviews ....And out of those interviews, I only noticed 3 approvals ( one was an elderly woman approved by a white American man at window 2. The other was a lady going for her master's degree approved by a white American woman at window 6. The other was a young man approved by a man at window 4).

Well, I happened to be interviewed by a black American woman ( chubby and darker than the black American woman at window 7) at window 5.

Well, to my interview proper:

The black American woman at window 5 motioned me to step forward. I advanced forward immediately.

VO: Good morning (before I could say good morning, she greeted first).

Me: Good morning, ma'am.

VO: Pass me your passport and I-20.

Me: I passed the requested documents.

VO: How did you hear about this school?

Me: I first read about it on some educational magazines. However, I didn't stop there, I had to do an extensive research on it using websites like usnews.com and thegradcafe (while I was saying usnews.com she joined me in saying 'oh you came accross it using educational websites!', and I responded to her in the affirmative).

VO: How many other schools did you apply to, and name them?

Me: 4 other schools. I was naming them as e dey hot, but she quickly jumped in by saying 'Hold on. Take it slowly'. I started again, and named all the schools while she typed, but this time, I did it slowly as she requested (Georgia State University, Ohio University, Louisiana State University and Oregon State University).

VO: What's your highest qualification?

Me: Bachelor of Science, Chemistry.

VO: When did you graduate?

Me: I graduated February 2012.

VO: So, what have you been doing since then?

Me: I went for a compulsory National Youth Service Scheme. After that I worked in XYZ Table Water Industry for 1 year as a quality control officer/production manager. I then proceeded from there to my current organization where I work as a billing officer.

VO: What is the name of the organization you currently work for?

Me: XYZ Electricity Distribution Company

VO: So, it means that your total work experience doesn't have any connection with your course of study ( She said this with her eyebrows raised and a weird look on her face.)?

Me: I quickly read her body language, and I knew that this woman wan change am for me o. For the first time, I thought to myself "Na so my village people wan take win this war?" . So I quickly responded, "that's not exactly the case ma'am". Like I said, I have worked as a quality control officer at Bamjoh Table Water Industry (While I was still talking, she realised this and quickly corrected herself by saying 'oh, you were once a quality control officer, I see') and this is related to Chemistry in every way.

VO: how did your course of study helped you ... muttering.. muttering....

Me: Ma'am, I didn't get you clearly.

VO: She repeated the question again, but I still didn't hear her clearly.

Me: I'm sorry ma'am, I still didn't get you well.

VO: This time around she then spoke up louder than before, and I heard her correctly. The question was, how did your course of study helped you in your previous work experience?

Me: I responded, 'oh, my course of study Chemistry, has a branch known as Analytical Chemistry. Analytical Chemistry deals with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds, which of course deals with the determination of impurities in substances and as well as pH level when necessary. I was able to use this knowledge to determine the presence of impurities and pH level of water produced prior and after production as a quality control officer at XYZ table water industry.

VO: She nodded her head suggesting she's impressed with my response. She continued by asking another question: Who is paying for your tuition?

Me: I was offered a full tuition waiver, and a graduate assistant position worth BE,000 USD annually.

VO: But I can't see a full tuition waiver on your I-20. I can only see BE,000USD for an on campus job....still muttering some words.

Me: While she was muttering, I was searching for a document showing proof of my full funding in the documents in my possession. She noticed I was trying to reach out for a document, then she responded, 'don't worry, I don't need any other documents from you'. At this time, she realized I got a full tuition waiver after taking a sternly good look at the I-20.

VO: What is your on-campus job about?

Me: It's a graduate assistantship position where I would work as a teaching assistant in the first semester, and then apply for a research assistantship position in the second semester if I choose to.

VO: She nodded her head in affirmative.

VO: What will this degree do for you?

Me: I have a concrete plan, and that is to pick up a lecturing job at my Alma mater on completion of my PhD program come Fall 2023.... I was about adding more points when she interrupted me...

VO: What is the name of your Alma Mater

Me: The university of Benin.... I continued my conversation by adding that I have established a strong connection with a professor in my Alma mater who happened to be my undergraduate supervisor, and he has assured me that I will have a strong edge over other applicants by the time I am done with my PhD at Brigham Young University. I will also love to work as a research consultant for multinational organizations like shell and Chevron while I lecture in the university.

VO: In response to my reply she nodded her head again.

VO: Are you married?

Me: No, I am not married.

VO: Engaged?

Me: Not at all.

VO: Have you traveled out of the country at any time?

Me: No, I have never had any reason to travel out of the country until now.

VO: Then she typed for some seconds, and said those sweet words. I will be approving your visa.... Congratulations... Bla bla bla.
I was trying to get the other things she was saying, but I couldn't get her clearly at this point. I only heard that you will be notified when your passport is ready for pick up. LoL. I think I also heard her say something about keeping my I-20 safe... Bla bla bla. LoL.

I couldn't believe it at first, because the way she was asking me questions looked like she was finding a fault in my application so as to use that to deny me. I almost gave up and was like, 'abeg do your worst, I don tire jare'.

To God be praised. I walked out majestically while still trying to curtail the joy within me. I almost got myself imploded because the joy within me was massive and was ready to come out. LoL
