Biology. My note was stolen few weeks before waec and returned to my locker immediately after the exam.

@feelgoodstuffs Received. Thank you.

So many Nigerians are mad, always want to tell someone what to do. When your own parents and siblings die on the same day, let's see if you will be in the right frame of mind to be greeting people.

I hope to enter USA too, amen

You'll have to search on Google for that. Schools that offer your course with GA positions.

lastkingsman:
Where can one see a list of schools with funding for PhD?

Ok, thank you.

fearlessfang:
email the graduate coordinator

Please does anyone here have experience with university of Kentucky? They don't state anything about funding on their website, instead they put some staff emails for contact regarding funding. I've sent emails to them and even the general email address, yet no response for almost one week now. Is this how the behave?

Look for cheaper schools. There are schools of 11k - 13k dollars. Texas A &M, etc. Look for schools with funding too and put in the work.

Thank you.

Olaoke16:
Yes.

Please is TOEFL regarded as a standardized test? If a VO ask did you take a standardized test, can one say yes and present toelf result?

Thank you very much for your response, I feel relieved.

I have never written any exam. I always apply to schools that waive GRE and English proficiency exams.

thatthickgurl or did you take any standardized test? Thanks

Hello

How can you just believe everything your wife tells you just like that knowing fully well she isn't the girls mother. I have a step mother too so I understand your daughters situation. There is a reason she comes home late, probably to avoid staying with your wife. I used to do it too. This is why children should not be left with men, they are clueless and not protective.

Exactly what came to my mind. He isn't always at home, he only listens to what his wife tells him about the girl.

brain54:
You are sure your wife has nothing to do with this...?

I somehow get the feeling the young girl is being rebellious for a reason!

I will never advice my worst enemy to work in a school except the ones that pay well on the island (Green springs, Corona, etc). For the mainland, Oakwood, Pampers, Grace high school, ECT. Why should anyone be earning 30k in this country while the children in nursery school pay almost 200k as school fees. If you want to waste your youth, then work in a school. I worked in a school for 6 months and resigned. I refused to waste my youth and not even gain any experience. I stayed at home for almost a year before I got a job that put me on a career path.

It is better to sell tomatoes in front of your house than to work in a low paying private school. Some people think it gives mothers time for their children, that is a big lie. Private schools don't release their teachers until 4pm. You go to work from 7am to 4pm everyday just to earn 30k that can't even buy your toiletries and foodstuffs. All teachers should start thinking business and dump that profession. By the time nobody is applying for teaching jobs, the school owners will will be forced to pay teachers well. Teaching is a difficult job yet the least rewarded in this country.

That is your headache not mine. I have given my opinion on the posters question.

chariisGRACE:
What criterion did you use to classify BCS as a demonic (bad)church?

You see them as idol worshippers, they see you as same.

You need to understand that, nothing is right nor wrong. What we term RIGHT or WRONG depends on many factors, with perspective and bias as key factors.

Stop generalizing, Chief.

OP, I don't know if that story is true, but I do not doubt the potency of spirituality.

I have witnessed spiritualism first hand, so...

Well, I personally see olumba obu as a satanic church. And yes it is possible for such to happen because they have spiritual powers. A lot of things happen in the under world, we all just like to act woke. I have a neighbor in my family house who told my aunty and another neighbor that at night, his body will be in his house but his spirit is in Asaba for their Ekankar meeting. He didn't hide it. He is even a strong member of the Catholic church and yet a member of ekankar.
So yes it is very possible, the spiritual controls the physical.

With 330 in GRE, you should be able to get scholarship/funding plus Graduate Assistantship. Please apply to other schools, don't limit yourself to only one school and end up in debt.

Regarding my last question, I will like to give a little brief about my journey so far....

I graduated in 2015 (Forest Resources Management), completed NYSC in 2017, worked as a plantation manager between then and January 2021. Travelled to Ghana for a conference in April 2021 and entered UAE from there based on work levels. While working there, I met my current employer via an online seminar where I was a speaker. we got talking and he told me about the idea of establishing a rubber estate in Osun state. I worked remotely with his staff by organising teachings online every week for 1 hour (on my off days). We were able to establish a nursery and budding wood garden in 2021. I also contributed to Osun state establishing 2 million rubber trees through NARPPMAN even while I was working and living in UAE. Fast forward to 2023, I knew I wanted to go for my graduate program so I was prepared to write GRE, wrote that in April when I got back to Nigeria and scored 330 (162 in verbal reasoning, 168 in Quantitative reasoning and 4.5 in analytical writing). Meanwhile, I already took up a position as the head of forestry department with my employer I met online in 2021.

I applied to Michigan Technological University only (it was recommended by our consultant in Germany as he had taken some online certificate courses with the University and vouched for the high level of lecture delivery) for fall 2024. I have gotten admission AND SECURED AN EDUCATIONAL LOAN THROUGH MPOWER FINANCE FOR MY STUDIES.

Going forward, what are my chances at the Visa interview? I have no other source of funding except MPOWER, I am married, my wife isn't going with me as I am coming back to resume my role as head of forestry with my current employer (this time, I will be handling international operations...I have a letter of introduction to that effect from my chairman). Let me also add that the rubber estate project has started with establishment of 10,000 hectares of Hevea brasliensis. we project going into full production of rubber and its by products in the first quarter of 2027.

I will appreciate opinions, questions and thoughts about my case.....thanks and God bless!!!

Agent again!!! Una no dey ever learn lesson. Every information you need is on nairaland. Pick the country you want and read through the thread on travel section, ask your questions there too.

This was in the past. Now schools request that you drop the contacts of your recommenders & they will contact them directly for the letters. Even the recommendation letters I was given are not useful.

TWoods:
If there's ever a next time, have your professors give you LoRs that you can use multiple times. All you need do is change school addresses.

Nice guide, thank you.

How will someone learns all these new words in 3 months? I'm already scared of this exam .

.

.

Ok, thanks. I prefer physical classes, I don't learn well virtually especially as I'm not good in maths.

GrammarNazi1:
I cannot say, but if you would like to undergo virtual classes for the GRE, I offer excellent GRE training.

Please people that know should help answer.

missidy:
Hi everyone, please has anyone here used MOD Education for GRE tutorial before? I will like to get a review before commiting to them. They also say their tutorial is for only 4 weekends. Is it the same with other tutorial centers because 4 weekends looks too short for lectures?

Ok, thank you. I'm not really good at maths that is why I need a tutorial center. MOD education in surulere said it's 100k for 4 weekends. The time feels very short especially for that amount that's why I'm asking questions.

NUELUSA2023:
So, for my GRE, it was completely self-study. The truth is that studying for the exam requires time—so much time—and also depends on how good you were in quantitative and verbal before now. Therefore, time is dependent on so many factors by 3 months, I think.

NUELUSA2023 please do you have any answer to this especially the 2nd question?

missidy:
Please can anyone recommend a good GRE tutorial center around surulere, Isolo and Yaba. The ones you have attended and passed the exam through their coaching. Also how many weeks or weekends did the tutorials last for.
Thanks.
