Good luck to our guys resuming TS on Monday! The journey began a year ago....With hard work , grace and perseverance.....You have gotten here. Do have a great TS session!

I'm presently running a poll on social media, with regards to whether Nigerians on social media believe educational concessions( staff quota,vice-chancellors list et al) especially in tertiary education helps to increase the educational inequality with regards to access.

For the purpose of this poll, Staff quota is defined as a concession given to the wards of members of staff of a particular Tertiary University with regards to admittance.

Vice-Chancellors list is defined as a list which contains names of individuals admitted into various courses in the University which they, the individual did not originally make the required marks for.

I intend to use the information obtained for my Social Justice essay. If you are Nigerian and would like to help me by participating in the poll,please follow the link(it's a Twitter poll) below this post.

Thanks

See things are not as complex as we make them to be a times o!
Even the documentation stuff isn't such a biggie....I wore a denim shirt and trousers with slip on for my documentation...... People just put unnecessary gara gara .....No be like that o

dkingskid:
lol. Medical is not a formality bruh. People fail it. Not saying this to make you or anyone else lose hope anyway. Just trying to correct the seeming wrong notion you have about it. Cheers!

In my presence the Medical Officer signed fit for employment, without waiting for any of my scans to come in............

chinco19:
if you took your time to go through what I typed, you wouldn't have missed where I said I saw that on an old thread. And on me saying there was no glitch anywhere, am I not entitled to my opinion? Before you got your mail, didn't you voice out what u thought was the problem? I am not misinforming anyone as I earlier stated that they were thoughts.

Talmabout "medicals is just a formality so no-one one can fail it" kmt

You are entitled to your opinion.... But your opinion should not be one that would raise tension. If you did the medical you would know why I said it's just formality.

chinco19:
For those who have done medicals and documentation and haven't received any mail for TS, I think it is best for us to go to First Bank's headquarters to ascertain why. Just went through an old thread and the info there stated that if you aren't called after medicals and documentation, you were dropped for either medical or documentation issue. it all makes sense now. those that were invited for TS without doing medicals and documentation were invited on purpose. Most likely to replace those that didn't meet up with their requirements for TS. There was no "glitch" anywhere. It was all purposeful. I don't know why the HR reps are playing mind games with us.

Don't come and say what you DON'T know! Medical is just a formality so no-one can fail it. FBN employs even if you are combining 2 results. So I don't think people would have issues with that.
Please don't come and give people unnecessary High BP or be spreading misinformation! If you did documentation and medical DON'T worry, if FBN said there was a glitch, who are YOU to say there wasn't?

machete:
Not if you already have a job and the admission to TS email sent has a disclaimer stating you might not be accepted if there are no more spaces and other lame excuses. Will be cutting off almost 100k from my current salary for 3months without knowing what the offer is! Recruitment process that is taking almost 2 years! Sigh. Abeg money too is important.

loool if your current firm offers the same growth progression,then please stay with them

machete:
please do you have an idea of the final pay after TS ? Please anyone !!!

I have no idea.....but I believe it should be decent..... But one should not be making employment decisions based purely on pay.

juddexy2:
This whole thing is even looking like a disaster now. Even after getting the TS mail, one may not be sure its the final invite, you might even be called upon again to disregard the email....these guys aren't coordinated. Besides kchris and iambraham, who did documentation and medicals in August and have been called for T.S? From the little statistics here which may not be reliable 60% of people who did documentations in August are still awaiting TS mails

One of the worst things that would happen would be after resigning from your current place for TS and FBN later sends you another mail telling you to wait for further directives bfr resumption.#kuku kee me ...lool

I don't think you are being fair to FBN, Nairlanders compose of only a little fraction of those that took the test.....I did Medical and Documentation and also got the TS mail yesterday.
Every firm can make mistakes, even if they did not chose to call it a mistake. I believe all man wey done do Medical and Documentation would head out for TS soon....Patience is key,this process began a year ago

kchris007:
Hi guys,
For those of us that got our TS invite yesterday, did you notice this clause:

***Please note that your personalized Letter of Invitation will be scanned to you in our subsequent email to you.

What does it mean? This did not appear in the mail gotten by the 1 set of people (acclaimed glitch).

Please what does it mean o.

It means that a letter addressed personally to you with the information included in the mail would be sent to you. I believe you would need the letter for admittance into the TS.

Personally I feel more mails would be sent out...as not everyone invited for the TS would RSVP YES .....So I'm guessing the shortfall would be augmented

KingDavid12:
Congratulations, let's see a screenshot of it please.

I have already put it up

KingDavid12:
Congratulations, let's see a screenshot of it please.

There you go...

Just got a TS invite from G. A...Good luck guys!

Davitron1107:
People are you sure they dint eliminate people based on age mayb they reduced the age bracket to mayb say 25. Jst my thought.

Many here are less than 25.

nlanded:
See whether it was a technical glitch or physical witch we don't wanna care, we are in and we are in and there is nothing else that matters.

Its over 24 hours after FBN sent me the TS invite and I have waited and I didn't see any follow up email stating the TS invite was a mistake and this being a professional workplace situation I have tendered my resignation where I work as the TS invite stated categorically how I would start TS by November 13 2017, so if FBN is stupid enough to play pranks in the coming weeks with me and my career and tell me its a mistake or something, then they should be prepared to hear from my lawyers, I would sue them for 1 billion Naira for negligence of responsibility and making me be out of a job. And I know a lot of other miracle children of TS invite without documentation here would join me in court for that case

Ps. (I have not resigned from my place of work yet o, don't tell FBN I said it o)

Loool no be fight naah. Person no dey follow you drag. You can't and wouldn't sue FBN , the cost implication alone sef. Jokes aside though, what FBN did is highly unoroffessional but it' their bank, their rules.

sallysalsa09:
So people have reported no wonder temilola called me an hour back asking questions of where I did my documentation even asking me the hospital name how I want remember hospital name when I dey think of many things.p.s I did documentation and received mail

It's not a matter of people reporting or not.....Did you think the bank would not notice the glitch? They would certainly

Davitron1107:
Pls those that did their documentation and medicals in Abj has anyone gotten TS mail yet. Pls call me on this number 08068210393 lets keep our selves updated.

No go warri..... The mails go soon drop.

Honestly this has been one funny episode..... FBN I remove cap for una....
Anyway sha Documentation and Medical can be done in a day, besides 13th November is still far and a lot can happen before then...So I suggest unless you receive any other directive...Report as directed Good luck to us all

Onlywoman92:
Nchabuomo you are still here? Shey you want to attend from that side ni?

Yeah I did documentation and medical although I told them during the process that I would not available until September 2018 as I'm running my Masters.

Comforter In The City - 50 Dundas St, Glasgow G1 2AQ. This is the popular one. I've been there many times.

The Experience Kitchen - 42 London Rd, Glasgow G1 5NB. This is less popular.

There's an African restaurant (I've forgotten the name) along Union Street in the city centre, but I rarely go there because it's below ground level.

Thanks G

guiddoti:
There is one at the back of Queen's station off cathedral road.or a street before buchanan street (parallel to it). Its very close to Strathclyde n Caledonia universities. I can't remember the street.

Okay thanks... would check it out

spacyzuma:
Flight is more expensive than train is more expensive than coach.
1.5 hrs max flight vs 6hrs max train vs at least 11hrs by coach.
Use Google maps to check estimates of travel times from London to edinburgh.
The earlier you book your tickets, the cheaper it will be.

For sim data, it depends on how long you're staying. You can get a phone contract. I personally avoid phone contracts because they are typically 24 mths. But some give rolling contracts (every month) with option of cancelling at any time, Eg Virgin Mobile.

There are websites like uswitch and gocompare that you can use to compare sim plans.

Errrrm I have used flights that are cheaper than train from here to London Easyjet is cool, Ryanair is cool but they cancel quite a lot.

spacyzuma:
Hi. I live and work in scotland.
For flights, use skyscanner.net to check for all flight options.
For sim cards, there are several lowcost networks like Lebara and Lycamobile, especially for calling Nigeria cheap. As a student, you shouldd have wifi around your school a lot so won't need to buy network data so much, but if you do, I recommend EE, Virgin Mobile, and 3.

I don't know about edinburgh, but There's no lack of nigerian stuff in Glasgow. There are at least 3 dedicated nigerian food stores, and 3 different nigerian restaurants in Glasgow. Also, many nigerian foods can be bought at any large middle-eastern food store, and I'm sure there are several at Edinburgh.

For affordable clothing, Primark is the best option.

Cheers

Hi please can you yarn me the Nigerian restaurant in Glasgow

lucrownt:
I will, if you won't mind lemme have your Whatsapp number

Sure

1. Why is his tummy like that ? Seems full of shit.
That's by the way, I'm almost certain no one takes him seriously.

lucrownt:
Baba thanks for this wonderful and life changing advice. Finally I made it, I came out with my desired class of degree. All thanks to God and you

Congratulations!!!!! Your good news gave me so much joy!!!! Keep pushing man.

Who is heading out from Abuja on Saturday.

donbreeezy:
Please my people... For super priority, do they have to wait for decision mail before going for their passport the next day? ?

EVERYONE has to wait for decision mail.

Joycers:
Please, were you able to track on your UKVI Immigration Status when a decision was made?

No.... Decision was made on Friday. I picked on Monday. Due to the short time interval, it didn't reflect on UKVI search.
