Humans are ungrateful sha. Same Nairaland that someone posted an opportunity here, I sent guyman a message as per I was suspended and I needed something to keep myself busy and he was asking me for 10k just to share the opportunity. And when I told him that I will pay him when I get something as per man dey manage coz of Coronavirus he blocked me.
The thing is Nigerians are wicked, no offense to anybody. We blame others for our misfortune and yet reserve none for ourselves. What's so bad in getting reviewed? Yes getting 100% without being reviewed is sweet but the review was stated as at the time we all got contracted so why is it now a problem now. I keep saying it, this life no balance.
Someone getting 9.5% HQRR is still on the platform, even ungrateful lots while men that cherished the opportunity were laid off. It's well. To the Op, you've done your part and God will keep blessing you. You don't have to reply every time you are dragged, you did what you had to do and your conscience is clear. |

Admitwithschola: It's good your GPA is good and you are familiar with standard tests. All these would help you. Not being able to do RA is not helpful, but having 3 or more profs/lecturers to write you big letters will help.
You didn't clarify when you earned your BSc and your course. 18 and Bsc. Acc. I will work on doing RA. |
Education › Re: Does First Class Degree Guarantee One A Job? by Nelsizzy(m): 11:17pm On May 21, 2020 |
Admitwithschola: Depends on the type of 2:1 you have.
Just to give some positive story to inspire you. Two of our RAs recently got into PhD programmes - one in Canada, the other one in southy. Both 2:2 BSc, but did well in master's. One did GRE and got some really nice recommendation letters. He got into Canada top 30+ university, fully funded.
If you're someone who had very solid secondary school education, I think prepping for the GRE for like 3 months, giving it a blast of close to 330, and getting solid reference letters from people who will actively sing your praise, all these will help you.
Don't just "maybe try" the GRE. Actively prepare smartly for it as if your life depended on it. If you don't actively prepare, you will land in the average pool of no more than 300. The good news is that in Nigeria, at least, GRE seems to have only little correlation with undergraduate grades. This is good news for you, because you may take it and score way higher than you friends who are first class people. In some programmes, the GRE is a "filter", so even if someone has high undergrad grades but has just OK GRE, their application might get filtered out before someone even gets a chance of evaluating it.
So, if grad school interests you, try to prepare harrrrrrrrd and smarrrrrrrrt for the GRE and do well on it. If other parts of your application, as mentioed above, are good, you will get into at least one fully funded MSc/PhD programme.
Doing an RA also helps crazily. Publications (not junk oo, something decent) also helps too. Try to find at least one of your former lecturers and volunteer to RA for them and possibly write and publish at least one decent paper with them.
So, with your 2:1 (hopefully >= 4.0, >=3.5 not bad sha), GRE (very good score will always help, very good is well over 160+ quant and at least 155 in verbal), high-sounding letters of recommendation, RA experience, publications, you will stand a very high chance of getting into a decent grad school in the US.
Finally, I refund cost of GRE (80K) to any Nigerian who is able to cross the 325 mark, so if you take the GRE and score 326, you should reach out to me for a refund and possibly for some support towards payment of application fees for application to US unis. Wow. I am speechless. So I think the 2.1 is good enough, can't place the exact point now but it was up to a 4 at 300L. My secondary school background is strong enough and about me "just trying" GRE that was me being sarcastic. I hate losing, so if I do decide to take the exams I am definitely giving it 100%. I have also tried with building myself in that area by taking scholarship exams as an undergraduate (wrote 3 national exams in total and I was successful in 2; fell short in the 3rd one by 2 marks). And about RA, I don't know. I wasn't exactly close to lecturers in school so building that kind of relationship now might be a problem. Getting recommendation letters won't be a problem but you made mention of RAs being a deal breaker. I am currently following you for guidance on this journey. |

Education › Re: Private School Teachers Are Currently Benefiting From The Closure Of Schools. by Nelsizzy(m): 8:49am On May 21, 2020 |
Mrshape: The science and mathematics teachers are cashing out big time.
Now parents are enrolling their children in private classes the money that was supposed to go to the school are going to teachers alone.
Just image a teacher whose salty is #200 per hour While teaching 30 students
is now getting #1000 or more per hour for lessons why teaching a child
Will he want school to resume.
If you are a science or mathematics teacher better take advantage of this situation.
Even when school resume some of this lessons will still remain.
For other subject teachers my heart goes out for you. god will see you through This is naive |

Doyin2: How do you mean?
What is wrong with palliatives to households?
Do you comprehend the economic multiplier effects?
More money into farmers and vendors pocket.
The good thing about economics is that nothing like wasted money if government spends internally.
Far far better that what USA is doing,doling out cash. You must be a clown. Comparing setting up a scheme that is made specifically to aid looting to what USA did has to be a bad joke at best. |

dochenaj: I was responding to someone. And my take is that, Sterling has no basis to feel any more better than Countinho and Emre.
Follow the discourse and don't just jump off to quote something you understand halfway. Your POV that Sterling's career at City shouldn't be termed a success because Liverpool won a UCL trophy is absolutely ridiculous. I am still repeating it incase you missed it the first time, Sterling has won at least 6 trophies since he went to City. The Liverpool that he should be envious of just got their first piece of silverware last season  |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Leicester City Vs Liverpool (0 - 4) On 26th December 2019 by Nelsizzy(m): 7:22am On Dec 27, 2019 |
dochenaj: Sterling has never won the champions league, neither has any of the other two.
Each of them won their various leagues.
So why should Sterling be seen as more fulfilled than the others. And the ones that stayed back at Liverpool have won the league abi  . Some Liverpool fans just funny sha, why would Sterling be feeling bad? Sterling have won at least 6 trophies since he left Liverpool, Liverpool just won their first set of trophies and the world no go rest. Alaye gedifok... |
