slimmy2005:
I doubt it’s a perfect 4.0.

Why don’t you send your transcript to WES for evaluation? Transcript are evaluated course by course and not overall grade.

Your masters grade is not so good. Looks more like a B-

I have done the unofficial one with WES and it falls at a 3.6.

I mean, if you can see the image I posted and still make a conclusion that it is likely a B-, it shows more reason for me to have the WES evaluation done. People unused to European grades might just make fallacious conclusions based on the grading system and numbers.

And BTW, for Oxford University, a 14.5/20 is their equivalence of a First class.

Good to finally join this bandwagon.

Just received my unofficial PhD admit from my proposed supervisor. I can't say how happy I am. Anyone here going to the University of Rhode Island?

Today I got a shocker from URI graduate school that my Msc does not meet the minimum graduate requirement of a 3.0. Hence, they will be overriding my supervisor and sending me a PhD rejection letter. After some back and forth, the graduate school's decision stands.

It is laughable because I am applying with a French grade of 14.3/20.
In all universities in Canada and the USA where international grade equivalencies is visible on their websites, a 14/20 grade is at least an A- or a 3.7. Even for WES and Scholaro, it is a perfect 4.0. I understand it is done course by course, but there is no way it will be less than a 3.0.

https://www.scholaro.com/grade-conversion/

My advice: once a school say credential evaluation is recommended. Please do it before applying. Only God knows what parameters was used for their own conversion. Maybe they don't understand French grades and just used a percentage or something because it is just funny to me.

It is the only school I applied to because I was sure of getting in after discussing with the supervisor.


Anyone with advice on schools for MSc Food Science for Spring intake that doesn't require GRE or IELTS? I don't think I'll apply for PhD again after being told to expect spending 6 years.

shevchenko:
You arrested a guy because he gave your gf gono who then passed it to you

1.You are a simp
2. You are a lost cause

A woman cheated on you ,your own don finish be that

A simp ignored the crime of lying about rape which could have ended somebody's life and career.

Don't worry, people like safarigirl are clearing reading and will give you the pity sex you so much desire.

shevchenko:
Because she recorded it .And he was clearly raping her

You'll do well as a Judge. For you to have known and judged that a voicenote which you have not verified the person behind it, which could have been "played out" or could be an attempted rape is CLEARLY RAPE. Good job.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
I don’t even understand this incoherent post of yours so I will just let you be.

You’re an irredeemable lost cause. I just wish the same fate on your sister that’s all.

After reading all your rant, I can say you're either a simp or one of those guys sulking up to women to get sympathy sex.

Someone just gave you an example of Neymar. Even if you don't know what happened during Neymar's or you feel it's not the same, at least bring a logical discussion, all you are doing is just throwing insults up and down like a brainless fellow. There have been far too many cases of false accusations against influential men, so it's logical when people say "innocent until proven guilty" or "let's hear from both sides". The injuries have not been verified to have been caused by greenwood, neither can you say authoritatively that the voice in the note was that of Greenwood. I can bet my life that you and I have never heard Greenwood's voice recordings before so it beats my imagination how you're so sure it's him. Finally there are so many Masons in the world. A video would have been the perfect evidence, unfortunately it is lacking here.

That was how an ex of mine had consensual sex with a neighborhood guy in her hometown and was screaming rape when she got Gonorrhea which was then transferred to me. I almost had the guy arrested but luckily for him, he had solid evidence. Now imagine what would have happened if I became the Jury and Judge and never gave him a chance to defend himself.

osato45:
if you did not apply for it stay clear, it could be those GNLD, Neolife people.

It is definitely GNLD. I received similar invite from them a long time ago. They do post fake jobs online.

The OP should search "8 Oladoyinbo Street" on nairaland and he will see similar results.

Kobojunkie:
How did you arrive at the claim in bold above?

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh

The principle of monogamy seems to be implied by "Shall be one flesh". The language itself points to the unity of just two persons. But still nowhere does it discourage or forbid polygamy. I'm still interested in answers that can prove biblically that polygamy is forbidden.

This thread is not to bash any religion or promote the criticism of any religion. This is mainly for learning purposes.


I have heard a lot of pastors and Christians say that polygamy is not allowed. While I understand that it is not something Christians may approve, no one has been able to convince me that God actually forbids polygamy. Nowhere in the bible is it explicitly commanded that "thou shall not take multiple wives".

*I understand that the books of Timothy and Titus states that a polygamist is ineligible for church leadership. Polygamy itself is not forbidden.

*Genesis 2:24 also says that Polygamy is not God's original intent but it was also something he allowed (cc; Jacob, David, Solomon).

*In Deuteronomy 17:17, God commanded against a king taking many wives. It therefore should not be understood as a command that no one should ever take more than one wife.

Lastly, If a polygamist converts to Christianity, what is he supposed to do.



Thanks; an aspiring polygamist.

Richy4:
You can't get all the package in one buddy.. U will agree with me that there are area in which u always commend her right?...
So try and manage the shortcoming part as well please...


I'm glad that u didn't want this on front page..
Cheers man...

You get the drift. She is good for most parts that I would think I have the best woman in the world but there are sometimes I wonder if na charm they use for me.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I will gather more experience as I get older.

Klass99:
Imagine for a second, what life would be like if you lost your income generating ability, through a prolonged illness or job loss. You would have no support system in her, this was just MTN network issues which lasted 24 hours and see what happened.

You just summed up the reason for my fear and resentment.

I have also been thinking of what my life will be after retirement without any tangible savings.

My belief in life is that people don't change. So you can imagine how my fears have heightened now. I have been thinking 32 years into the future.

Palema007:
" you saw her bank balance, she lied that she doesn't have cash. It was too late to go to bank" all these you typed in a paragraph yet you resent your wife for something as an incident as unclear as this? What if she doesn't have cash truly and it was really late to go to the bank for her too?. Seriously op, the feeling of resentment should be felt towards anyone let alone your wife. It is deep anger that results in hatred.

You two are still very young in your marriage, you are just getting to know and understand one another. I believe it is at this stage you both build your communication strength. Obviously your wife is just coming to terms with what marriage is. That's why she is treating you as a boyfriend by buying you gifts and not supporting the family financially. Talk to her, some people needs to be told what is expected of them before they do it.

Perhaps you didn't understand my post. Let me explain a bit. I actually saw her bank balance. I still saw it the same evening and the next morning. I know how much was in there at the time. I have always been self-sufficient from a young age so I have never cared about anyone else's money.

When I say it's too late for me to go to the bank. I mean it was already past 4pm and banks would be closed by then. Anyone familiar with dorm accounts know you can only withdraw dollar at the counter in the bank.

ogawisdom:
Lol

she doesnt believe in supporting his man financially.

you are wasting ur money opening a business for her except u dont mind if she doesnt support ur family from the biz.

whatever u do never ever go broke otherwise u will see ur ears with ur eyes.

Have plans A to F for making money n different reserve funds for the family.

By the way 95% of women are like dt, it's difficult for a woman to give their husband their money. In ur case i am shocked she let her daughter go to bed hungry, women don't play with their kids

Exactly what I was thinking. Of what use is opening a business for her if I'm not getting any benefits.

Mehn, I was shocked she did that and it was the main reason I lambasted her. My daughter only takes breast milk and adult food. She'll rather take water than cerealac. I already told my wife I'll never forgive that in my life.

NovesaTillie:
Her money is her money.
Your money is OUR money

I'm not that kind of woman.
My husband will be lucky to have me.

I hear you're considering polygamy

Hathor5:
She is the one you should talk it over with.

You should tell her how you feel about her behavior and not us.

It is always better to seek direct communication first.

Talk to each other instead about one another.

And what should someone do if you have talked and there is still no changes?

On what caused the resentment.

I'm sure you all remembered when MTN network was down until the next day. Well, that day I and my daughter went to bed hungry. It was the first time in my 28 years I have ever gone to bed without eating dinner.

I receive my pay in my dorm account in USD. So I have a BDC guy who I transfer dollar to whenever I need cash. I didn't know MTN will fumble that day because I splurged all my Naira earlier that day. Evening came, MTN was down. I couldn't get across to BDC and it was already too late to go to bank to withdraw. I saw this woman's bank balance that same evening but she lied she didn't have any cash. I didn't challenge her and she chose to allow everyone sleep hungry that night including our baby. Don't even ask about breast milk because the whole night, all I was hearing was her whining that she hasn't eaten and the baby shouldn't disturb her with cries for breastfeeding.

The next morning by 7AM, I was able to get across to my BDC guy and exchanged the cash. That was the first time I have ever confronted her and I lambasted her that morning.

Still it is the same. When I have to pay PHCN bills, she'll rather have us sleep in darkness if my bank has network issues than use her own account.

Now the funny thing is, she will never go out without buying something on her way for me. So I'm a bit confused and resentful.

Just curious so I can stop worrying about it. ***NO FRONTPAGE PLEASE*** JUST HOPE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM EXPERIENCED MARRIED PEOPLE.

Married for close to two years now with a baby. My wife hasn't worked since partly due to a lack of suitable opportunities and the fact that we are alone where we stay with neither family present. She is a graduate of a private university and I've had to sponsor a skillet training which has been completed so she can open a business. We intend to wait until the baby is one before she opens the business which is a few weeks from now. So I'm 100% responsible for everything. She is not on any specific allowance but I purposely allow inflated bills so she can get some change from it. She is also involved in weekly contributions which I pay 90% of the time.

One thing I have noticed is that she will not help with any expenses around the house. Let say I'm cash-strapped for something we need to buy today, she'll pretend she doesn't have any cash and rather wait until I bring the money tomorrow than buy it for the family. She is currently doing so now and it is reinvigorating resentments I have for her.

One event actually caused the resentment. I will share it in the next post.

It's already 8 years now. I'm curious.

Is the said Dominion gardens estate now allocatedor built up or developed or an entire scam cos I can't find any traces of it online anymore.

Yes. I'll never forget it in my life.

I went to the village a long time ago. While greeting someone in their living room, I saw and heard an idol speaking. The idol was hidden at the back of their entrance door.

It provided a physical description of the lady that was coming, what she was coming for and what should be done for her. It didn't take up to 10 minutes, the lady arrived. She was exactly just as described.

That experience changed me from an atheist to an agnostic. It was a firsthand experience that there is a spiritual world somewhere.

FreeStuffsNG:
Romania Wow,Nigerians travel o. I always see those countries like Poland, Romania, Ukraine as the laggers in Europe but I still prefer Romania of those 3. You really have fond memories of the place.

Brotherly. E pass fond memories o. Initially I was afraid cos of the gypsies but mehn, I hiked to many gypsy villages and was treated like a king.

Over 4 years since I left and I still daydream about the food, people and beautiful women I met. It may not be as rich as the UK and Germany but there I met the nicest people in Europe.


Poland is not on Romania's level. More job opportunities and better living conditions. But quite a lot of skinheads and not immigrant-friendly.

educators:
u mean 30 Naira?

Actually N50. 1 RON is about N100.

Spent time in Romania. Still have their coins and cash as souvenirs.

Jobola1:
I also told u it takes me 30k to bring one writer onboard but to further paint me bad, u conveniently left that part out.


@Sinudyne, myke92, DeeCherry

If I should spend 87k on a writer in 30 days, is it now bad that I bargain?

This is even more reason you should pay proper wages. That way you have a loyal, motivated and dedicated team to call up for future tasks instead of having to train every Tom, Dick and Harry who will be demotivated and surely leave at the middle of the project. With these wages, you will surely repeat the cycle of searching for workers, training them and they leave at the middle of the project.

I repeat again, you will never find a proper writer who will finish your 90 tasks on this pay. And btw, I'm not painting you bad. Fair wages for fair work.

Trust me, with the proper wages, you won't even have to say this in your ad. "However, u CANNOT back out midway as it cost quite a lot to get u subscribed to the writing aid".

Jobola1:
Send in your application, see what I offer for yourself.

Don't get obsessed with word count cos in this case, that's the least of ur problems.

For 80percent of the articles, you will be able to write a fantastic 1k main body in 60 minutes with zero brain work- you would half that time once u get a hang of tools available to u. But to be fair, you will need to fact-check n format.

Zero writers' block is guaranteed too.

It cost an additional 30k to bring each writer on board aside the 57k payment. this cost could go up or down depending on scale.

This won't be the only time, n I will adjust subsequent contracts but this is what I can offer now.

I don't have a problem with ur criticism, only that u don't have a good picture of things before concluding.

Lol. You can't afford me.

Imagine putting writing an article and zero brain work in the same sentence. Even if you're plagiarizing an article, you still need to use your brain.

You said someone can write a 1000 word article in 60 minutes. Will it just be copy and paste? I'm curious as to how that is possible, especially when they have to type.

50 KOBO per word for an article. Mehn. (Even more depressing when you factor in electricity and internet charges). Yes, some will accept it but almost everyone will quit after a few articles or payments. I wonder what's the issue with paying employees/contractors livable wage. With that, you get proper dedication to your job instead of those who will accept cos they have no choice and eventually quit after two or three articles.

I can bet my balls you'll never get a proper writer who will finish all 90 required articles.

What rubbish

Approximately N600 for a 1000 or 1300 word article.... Bleep you

Lol


Pictures of ibadam Yoruba beggers keep deceiving yourself infidel

ALABAMUSA

BAMBIALA

donmixc:
Your own people beg more nah, a visit to slum ibadam will shock you, or do I talk about the agbro all over your region begging and hailing for a living all because of a sachet of shepe(Kai Kai)

At least they live decently in Slum. They don't carry plates around shouting Bambiala up and down with their BORN TO BEG ( Sorry, Born to Rule mentality). Constituting nuisances across Major cities in East, South and Western Nigeria.

No wonder they are unity beggers. When we leave, there will be no one to open gates for or beg for Bambiala from. Beggars cannot beg from beggars.

donmixc:
And we are ruling you coward, and we will continue to give power to whoever we choose to because power belongs to the north animal

Doesn't change the fact that over 80% of your population are in major yoruba cities shouting ALABAMUSA BAMBIALA like they always do.

donmixc:
Go and ask ipob what we did to them, una own no go hard, na coward una be

PARASITES. Your brothers are out here in Lagos opening our gates, shining our shoes and fetching our water.

No wonder you're unity beggars. You were our slaves back in Illorin before Afonja and you're still our slaves in major Yoruba cities today. Talk about begging for a living.... shioor

donmixc:
Let them dare, our northern gallant soldiers are ever ready

Only parasites with no prospects and nothing to offer are scared of standing alone....

Rather than demand for a better country, media bots out here working for their masters for a miserly pay. The same money than cannot buy you a bag of rice.

1) You will have to explain this in your LOE, give detailed convincing explanation on the reasons you stated above. Show how the courseworks are different from your previous masters and show how the courseworks in your intended program will help achieve your career goals.

2) Getting a letter from the program coordinator or your supervisor pertaining the reason will be great, it will make things smoother for you.

Regarding your evaluation I think the program coordinator will be in the best position to tell you details on how they will evaluate your credentials.

You can use the free conversion resources available online to compute your grades and get an idea what it will be on a 4.0 scale. I used scholaro and it tallies with what U of Toronto used for their evaluation of my last two years grade, so it probably will be close to what U of Alberta uses.

Also, in my opinion, since they directed you to apply for MSc due to missing prerequisite courses in your present Masters , they would probably use your last 2 years of undergraduate studies for evaluation. You should ask your supervisor or program coordinator for confirmation.

Thank you for the replies. Cc; LFJ11

I will ask for the document from them.

I have a 15/20 French GPA. The problem with French grades is the lack of uniformity in conversion across universities worldwide. I have also tried scholaro and it is more suited with the US market. It's conversion is different in Canada.

For example, like most US universities, Scholaro grades 14 upwards as an A, an A in McGill is 16 upwards. In Australia, an A is 15 upwards.

In Scholaro, a 13/20 is 3.0. The same 13 is a B+ (3.3) at McGill while for university of Alberta, it is their minimum grade which I take to be a 3.0. The problem is Alberta only provided the minimum grading for France. I guess I won't know until I apply.

SuomyNona:

Thank you for bringing this up. I need to have this confirmed cos if they decide to use my undergrad, I'm royally bleeped. Local man was not serious during undergraduate days. Last 4 undergrad GPA are 4.6, 2.9, 4.56, 3.08. The discrepancy is enough for them to bin my application.

Please, I will appreciate answers. Cc LFJ11

I have a masters from France and intend to apply for a PhD. But due to lack of some certain course prerequisites, my supervisor and the program cordinator adviced I apply for their masters which will be also be fully funded and then transfer to a PhD. Will I have issues with getting a visa for a second masters given that I intend to go with my wife and daughter? Also is it okay if I ask the graduate coordinator to provide me with a written letter stating that I lacked certain course requirements?

Another problem is I require a 3.7 to be successful. How is the last two years average calculated for a masters degree holder. Will it be a course by course evaluation or will be masters degree be evaluated as a whole.

The graduate school at University of Alberta is refusing to give information on GPA conversion until I apply.
