Education / Re: Why Foreign Universities Require Personal Statements Or Statement Of Purpose by Naijaphobia(m): 4:44pm On Apr 09, 2018
God bless you my brother..U made my day. I will chat you privately soon.

Thanks again bro!

JARUSHUB:


TOEFL depends on the school and department you are applying to. If it is required, it means you must write the examination. However, some schools waive such English proficiency examinations for students who can prove that they had their high school (for undergrads) or first degree (for post-grads) education using the English language. This can be found in Canada. However, we'll implore you to write the examination (TOEFL or IELTS) to improve your chances of securing the scholarship or funding.

A SOP is usually demanded if it is the school that is funding your studies or it is a joint program (example is the MEXT by the Japanese government). Where you get to write the SOP to the scholarship body. However, it can be separate if the scholarship body is different from the university. Example is a private firm sponsoring students for post-graduate studies as part of its CSR. Here, you are more likely to write a personal statement for the scholarship body and SOP for the university. Two different documents and entities.

Ops, thanks for bringing up this highly informative topic. I want to know if despite years of working experience outside your area of research, lack of TOEFL and its likes but a very good SOP and transcript can someone secure scholarship for postgraduate studies? Also, is the SOP for scholarship different from any other SOP?

No qualms bro! Just not so happy the way guys conclude on players ages without due confirmation as to their true ages.


KevinDein:

At the emboldened, not entirely true. Mikel is younger than the P square brothers. Mikel is definitely in his early thirties. I know him personally cos we went to the same primary school back then in jos

So in all honesty, how old do you think Martins is, give or take? Real age kwa grin

Bros! I am not his parents but arguably his age ranges between 36-38. We were peers at Rowe park and trained together in the 90s. Ask of BabaOmo from those around Ebutte Meta, Adekunle, Alagomeji and Yaba.

Baba if you judge Martins based on age and league then Mikel and Ighalo should be dropped as well.
Remember say Mikel and Psquare be set for J.town and while Ighalo's age too can be questioned. As for Martins, I was at rowepark Ebutte Metta in the 90s together with Martins and Ladi under the tutelage of BabaOmo. I can comfortably say he is just few years above what he claims and not the blotted years ascribed to him by you people drawing reference based on my on current age.



Icon79:
Bro, Roger Miller was still playing in Europe when he went to the World Cup. Martins is playing in the mediocre Chinese league. That's the problem ...a long with his age. In his case, it isn't age alone that is the problem .... it's age plus the level of competition/training he has had the past few years.

Glad you admit you joined in the outcry for his call-up. Keshi wasn't fair to Martins and did everything position to drop is stock with the fans. Nigerian coaches are not after merit but what they stand to benefit at the expense of national glory imagine Ujah and that Kano pillars striker Gambo Mohammed picking shirts ahead of Martins under Keshi. In the last decade no striker of Nigerian descent has been widely travelled and not forgetting his goal scoring boot during sojourn like Martins. He is just unlucky and should be considered. It my personal opinion Ighalo is not better!



tbaba1234:


I was one of the fans that called for Martins invitation but he was so bad that i did not bother to call for him again.

I hope he can prove himself if he gets called before the WC, however slim that chance is.

Bro! Please go back and rewatch that match u laid reference to..Martins was totally played out of position by Keshi which accounted for his dismal performance and I doubt if it wasn't deliberate since he was only invited after so much outcry by fans of the super eagles.

tbaba1234:


I remember Martins was scoring in La liga but when he was invited under Keshi, he did not play well at all that day.. Very disappointing..

Why has Martins been so unlucky with Super Eagles coaches.Hardly getting call-ups from Keshi to Oliseh to Siasia to Rohr, am sure if his call-ups were consistent sure he would have broken Yeking's record in the super eagles.Something is definitely wrong either with the system or Martins himself.

Age: 39yrs
Qualification: Bsc Zoology 2006 (2nd class upper)
Work experience: 8yrs banking experience but currently self employed

I will be glad if I can get a prompt response.

Was in the church a young boy gave testimony of how he got a job with a Nigerian bank.While the whole church was shouting halleluyah I as an ex-banker was quietly pitying this boy and visualising the stress, stolen valuable time, intimidation, inhuman working environment and degraded health that this boy will be subjected to during his productive years with them. Reality will begin to set in later when the bank has exhausted every valuable asset in him and see him as less productive then they ask him to go.

It may sound absurd but it actually happened to me severally while I was managing about 20 ATMs in a particular region. Cash would be confirmed, double confirmed before loading only to discovered shortages from unloaded cash with in the ATM vault despite dual control. It stopped after I went spiritual about it and was asked to remove a particular lady from the team, and ensure she mustn't touch cash designated for load but with stern warning not to accuse her... My people, I paid loads of gbese just to cover up before auditing thanks to my frequent reconciliation.
