₦airaland Forum

Fellow Nairalanders,

I just wanted to add a few comments following recent postings by some people regarding Fairliegh Dickinson University Scholarships. Comments like the ones posted by Beelala and Jarod certainly would not encourage individuals that may have beneficial information to share.

To the two of them all I can say is I have not asked you for money nor directed anyone to come to me for anything. For your information, I don't even live in Nigeria. I found some relevant information which I felt people might benefit from back home and posted them here. I would have thought the right thing to do if you doubted the credibility of the information is to research or contact the university directly but people would rather open their large gobs and yap. If it helps visit http://view.fdu.edu/default.aspx?id=3553 and search for scholarships. I obviously benefitted from a Full Scholarship for my Masters Degree so I know there are scholarships out there. You only have to find them. Thanks Beelala and Jarod for the insults and name-calling.

Kind Regards,

Megzyone

Age discrimination is the main area of discrimination which is protected in some other countries but which was not directly protected in Nigeria. Laws outlawing discrimination based on age changed from today-1 October 2006 when the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 came into force. The Regulations have arrived in advance of the December deadline set by the Equal Treatment Framework Directive (2000/78/EC) which requires the UK to implement national legislation preventing age discrimination.

Although the legislation is new and complex it gives some sort of indication of acceptable and unacceptable practice in the workplace which stipulates that an individual must be judged primarily based on skill and abilities to perform on the job rather than age. The House of Assembly is too busy legislating on furniture allowance maybe when they finish they may be able to find time for this debate which is crippling our economy.
Please see http://www.cipd.co.uk/EmploymentLaw/FAQ/_Agediscrim/_FAQ/QA_9.htm for more details.

Hi Guys, I found these jobs on http://www.nigeriagalleria.com . I thought it may be useful to some of us. Good luck!
