Sam95: I don't knw y u guys want 2 bring this 2.1 & 2.2 story up again. even if ur not told, u shud knw dat d class of result will be important in this type of few-persons-to-get-the-job type of employment. Even if they are beta 2.2, hv DSS finished exhausting the long list of genuine 2.1? Or are u with a 2.2 saying DSS shud do away with a 2.1 who passed d exam and pik u? Let's b frank here. The reason results are graded is 4 stuffs like this. 2.2 is only an alternative in DSS and everywhere, which in real sense we all knw dat d number of genuine 2.1dat will pass d exam will even be more than d required persons. So u wit a 2.2, face d fact. If u want 2 show ur smart without u present 2 defend ur result, my genuine advice 4 u is 2 go and present a Masters result ahead of one with a 2.1. Ask ur self, if u hv a firm and want 2 employ, won't u finish screening those wit beta results? And will those wit lower result won't just be an alternative? And when u fine d number ur looking 4 from the higher grades, won't u just dump d file of d lower grades? Be honest wit urself. 4 those wit a 2.1, I hail u cus I knw what it takes. 4 those witout one, 4 ewatever reason, I understand but I don't tink its an excuse. Bcus, I was an okada and a farmer 2 pay schl fees. In school, I contested 9 posts and won 8. But I spent all my spare time with my books bcus I KNEW WHAT I WANTED. In God We Trust!

Lol. What i am saying is that these guys want to recruit the best persons based on the result from their test, now if 25 people wrote the exam and they want just 5, if the best 4 had a 2.1 and the guy on number 5 had a 2.2, the guy with a 2.2 will be on the list of 5, even if every other person made a 2.1, as long as they were not able to score higher than him in the test he will make the list. Now, let me tell you one thing people fail to understand, you do not have to look down on people with 2.2, i bet there are some wonderful guys among those people, a handful of them are very good, especially those who made more than 3.0, i am a master's degree student in one of the leading Nigerian federal universities and i study mech. eng., after our coursework results came out, the guy that led our department with a CGPA well over 6 out of 7 made a 2.2 from a state university here in Nigeria too. Please do not underrate these guys, circumstances sometimes account for why they made a 2.2. Please i am not in for any quarrel or argument, just making my point with facts. Thanks.

amadice: ....during d publication, i thought its was 2.1

Could u please show us that part of the publication that says only people with 2.1 should apply? I like to work with facts

amadice: Got a suprise call from an agent of DSS UMUAHIA she asked after my LOCAL GOVT, GRADE. and AGE, now am being to gey scared and feel so sorry for my grade (2.2) i pray i dont get drop cos i love dis job so much

Don't feel that way please, the minimum requirement for application was a 2.2, if u were able to prove yourself(In the test) better than people with better grades then you are in. It is well.

emlilshady: please ignore these woodpeckers!! making a first class does not mean others are not intelligent, some didn't meet up to their grades for reasons of politics in school, sporting activities or even some lecturers that are bad in marking.
I know a very intelligent graduate with 3rd class working in an oil firm, though he has taken his leave for a ph.d, so what's all these rubbish arguments?whether it is first class or 2.2 or 3rd... only God's grace can give you a job, who was the first educated leader of the federal republic of Nigeria? what happened to the rest before him?

Babe, a 3rd class graduate took leave for a Phd? I thought Phd is meant for people who made 2.2 or above and made a mphil/phd or Phd grade having done their master's degree...........Please correct me cos i might be wrong ooo.

bossladyMo:

Ikeja registry is a state registry, while Ikoyi registry is a federal registry. No difference really...but people, such as me, prefer the federal way. My own belief is that local governments can easily be changed, split or rendered invalid....but it will take a lot for Nigeria as a whole to be changed in any way. Long and short, there is more marriage documentation security. But both are equally as valid.

Thanks bosslady

Please i have a question, it seems simple but i need clarifications on it. Is there any difference between getting married in ikeja registry and ikoyi registry, i need to know its impact on travelling purposes before i start stressing myself and wasting money on ikoyi registry?.

aduktus: @okesammie
All that futuredon has said,is true. I also did my Msc in UI and was able to secure PhD tuition scholarship with UTAS.The secret is your publications plus a supportive supervisor plus good grade especially at your Msc project plus excellent communication btw you and ur supervisor.
It usually takes time.
If you are able to secure tuition scholarship which is more easier, you may be given TA/RA position.
Try and get A in ur Msc project and dont rely on ielts score as it is not needed by most schools and even embassy at PhD level as long as u state ur Bsc and Msc were taught in English.
Start your search now. Ensure your PhD proposal is abit comprehensive enof to demonstrate your competence...get the research interests of ur desired supervisors bcs u will write to many,and introduce new techniques or methodologies to capture their attention. I bet every researcher cant resist good and current idea! That was actually the secret of my own scholarship..current irresistible methodologies incorporated into my supervisor research interest!
Above all...pray for favor.

Thanks brothers, i have gotten two prospective supervisors now, one in auckland university newzealand and the other in university of western australia, the scholarship is what i will try to work on now, i will definitely publish as i am working with a supervisor who feels publication is a must and we are working on nanofluid which is a current issue, we are also working on coming up with information which could be the first of their kind. Please what do you feel about newzealand incase australia does not work.... I will also take surveyor's advice into consideration.

Glad jenny was still here few days ago, i just completed M.sc coursework in UI with CGPA over 5.5 out of 7 which is called a Phd grade, project to be completed latest by february 2015 and i will have my results ready by june 2015, please do you know any school that can grant me Phd scholarship with ease??[/i] I am also getting married by november 2014 and so alot will be spent on accommodation in Lagos and other stuffs so at this point i am looking for Phd scholarship in australia cos sincerely, it will be the best option for me, no more huge money to spend. Please your advice will be appreciated, i have IELTS 6.5 with no band less than 6.0 which expires by october 2015 and my course of study is mechanical engineering with specialization in [i]thermo-fluid.

posdream: To the will of God. I've just been refused visa due to insufficient funds. Just want to share my news too even though its not good. God knows best. For the rest that are waiting I wish you good news in christ name. Amen.

send me a personal message.

posdream:

Try and do some sort of traditional marriage to keep her secure now. Get a marriage certificate, that will help ur application(home ties) and also it will be easier for her to join you if u are married than otherwise.
Try and get things together in ur names as in Mr&Mrs it will help too. By doing a trad.wedding you can still secure her and help your application look more genuine. JUST MY VIEW.
Goodluck.

Lolz, you don't need a prophet to know this is a woman, they love advocating for their fellow women. They are always concerned with marital security. But, I really get your point and I appreciate your contribution. God bless you.

mcdon60: if settling down with your woman is your aim, i think Australia is better, 1.8m should be enough for your Tafe 1 semester fees depending on your course though, medicare, visa application and flight for both of you, but for living expenses, i doubt it, mind you, Australia is very expensive so you should have some pocket money to survive on at least for some months till you ballance. Also remember that your sponsor should have up to 6m in his account for both of you and you should also have a very good statement of purpose to back your application as to why you are going for advance diploma course. Btw, its better you go first with that budget and then she joins you later after settling down. But if going to germany and then to Australia na your aim, omo she might not want to wait for that long story o, u know ladies na? remember na oct nxt yr u talk say u dey plan 4, by then she go don 30. Germany first and then Australia, waste of time and money. U sure say she go fit wait? Omo, i feel u o. Pls try and settle down to think and weigh your options, don't be under any pressure.

Oga mcdon60 u are too much, I appreciate your contribution and I value it so much. God bless you. Abeg make u dey pray for me make things work out in all areas. Thanks.

ferdimako:

Bros you can do small trado for your love with her to mature and be secure. No children for now oh.Look up to Australia for TAFE (that means abandoning what you've with UI) or develop too much patience and finish and go for a PhD in Aussie. That is what I will do and I am doing the same now.

Your bands are okay for academics.

I don't know if my woman will agree with small wedding......you know women!

Baba Ferdie thumbs up for you, but the problem with Phd is getting a supervisor, you can be on it for a very long time. Priority 1 is entering, even if it is for TAFE, you can find your way thereafter. I pray God helps us.

RedReact: Hmm!!
Truly yours doesn't know what to say totally about this because it's woven between 2 things. Could you please send me a mail, and notify me here so that we can discuss this issue?
HK is fine and pressurizing me like pressure cooker

Oga peter red I will mail you directly, I still have your email addy. Thanks so much and God bless brother.

snowburn:

my brother, it is well.
God can always locate us any and everywhere with his blessings and grace . . .having said that, if you decide to take an Adv Dip., i'll strongly suggest you still stick to those courses esp no.3 cos it is very very viable and as flexible also. . . i'd have loved us to rub minds wella, was thinking you already in Perth. . .how far your man, Dmitroika?

i think it is better for you to head to Oz (u should have gone for TAFE program first rather than a Naija Msc in the first place), your chic can join later . . .i dont know how best to share my views with you cos it borders on a lot of issues viz a viz finance(money), woman, career, time, etc

Dmitroika is in freiburg in Baden wuttemberg now, I appreciate everyone's concern and I am so glad I am a part of this forum as it contains wonderful people that work on the principles of oneness and unity. God bless you all. Dmitrioka made the move for germany because of the same reason I am considering germany. I really can't remember the third course u were talking about in the post, I need you to shed more light on that and please tell me if you know any regional area that offers the course( I am guessing it is ACEPT in fremantle). Hoping to hear from you.

RedReact: ^^^
I think you should go in first and the lady join you later; that seems to be the good option.

Oga Red, hw is Hongkong? I agree on going in first and my woman joining later but you haven't given your opinion on the other question, I seek advice on wether to go to germany first and do another master's degree and enter australia for Phd or use the 1.8M naira on advanced diploma in australia. My woman doesn't have age on her side as she is 29 already and we ain't married yet, I have been the one causing the delay since I don't have a job
.

snowburn:

hi bro! How's has it been? Where you @ now? And which course did you/are u taking finally? Regards.

hello brother I am still in Nigeria battling with ASUU strike o, I am doing my M.sc in mechanical engineering at the university of ibadan.

I need someone's opinion on this please, I believe few people know me in the forum but for those who don't know me, I have been a part of this place for a while now, I started my M.sc here in Nigeria cos I couldn't raise enough fund to move to australia despite securing admission to study M.eng mechanical engineering from Ballarat university, Now I am tired of the strike in the country's universities, I wrote IELTS in october and I made 6.5, 6 in both listening and writing and 7 in both speaking and reading, thanks to info from this forum and God. Now, this is my problem, my girl is working here in Nigeria and earns between 70 and 80k but I want her to quit the job and travel with me but I might only be able to raise 1.8M wit d help of my father come october next year, would it be a good idea if I use this token for an advanced diploma in australia as I feel it might nt be enough for a master's degree or I should get to germany first for another master's degree and find my way to australia. I prefer australia because you can move in with your spouse and she can work. I just need your opinion on this please, I understand that people like jenny have an all round experience in the 2 countries in question. Please advise me.

showbee: .PLS which name is dat ?

No list is out oooooooo, not at the moment.

showbee: .PLS which name is dat ?

No list is out oooooooo

sods: pls shine more light on this, as far as am concern, u've not passed any message across to anyone. Tanx

Brother, she did pass message, she is simply saying the computer is a lie detector, it will screen you out once there is any trace of discrepancies in the information you provided. Take for example, you were born in 1985 and you finished primary school in 1990, when primary school itself is supposed to be 6 years. So, whatever information you have provided must be perfect(From primary school to University, the age and timing must be reasonable).

prof86: Pls, wat is d age limit of gtbank for graduate trainee job

Assuming you were born on september 7 1986, you must have completed all processes of recruitment and started training by sept 6 2013 because you will be 27 on the following day and once u are 27 they won't be able to process your application anymore, if you are few months away from 27 and you apply, they will fast track your application.I hope this helps you.Goodluck

Hello Emrino, i tried to read the whole thread to see if i could get an answer to my question but i did not. As someone who is in the system, i believe you will be able to answer this question. For mechanical engineers, are we to be COREN certified when applying for NAF or a graduate membership with the Nigerian society of Engineers will do? If that will do, how serious is the NAF about sighting the certificate or they just assume u must have been induced as a member so long you graduated as an engineer because they stated as part of the requirement that you must be fully registered with your professional body.

Malachy27: i equally enjoin my broda Joe to tell everybody in this thread to do this.... To each other pls!!!

This guy sure has a lot of pictures to play with............................

Malachy27: capital NO! Its majesticjoe or it could be u if u dont mind

I am not talking about the picture, just asking if this malachy is the one i know from akure.

Malachy27: @MAJESTICJOE AS IF IT WILL BE WATER THAT WILL RUN IN YOUR VAIN AFTER DRILLING. SEE YOUR HEAD OLODO!!!

Abeg se na malachy wey serve 4 akure in 2011/2012 and finished from FUTMINNA be dis?

lomprico: Hello all, please I need ur help on any professional certification course in oil n gas that is accepted world wide. Thanks

NEBOSH

Lol, just contact them and ask them if not having HSE and NEBOSH disqualifies you, they will simply ask you to pay some money to get trained. That is the idea behind the scam offer. Beware bro, imagine the sentences, they ain't even properly structured. Languages like "we wishes'' instead of we wish and ''proofs'' instead of proves, Conoco philips HR people don't know that prove is the verbal form of the word proof. Abeg, tell them make them park well.

JemmyS:
i used my NSE student membership... and i have applied

Ok thanks bro, i am a graduate member of NSE too.
