ShehuAba: @olsey my questions on the exam day proper are:
1. We were asked to come with writing materials, can we go with a calculator too?
2. We were asked to come with the original uploaded documents, Will they just check it and return it to us or are we expected to leave the documents with them?
3. Any other general info as regards the exam day proper, you can share it here with us.
Thanks 4 ur prompt responses

1. Calculators have never been allowed in NLNG tests. Though, it wont cost you anything to take one to the venue (if you have a safe place to keep it away from you, in case it will not be allowed as usual)
2. The original documents are for "sighting." The verification officers will just take a look at them and return them almost immediately.
3. Don't know what to add either.

Manweysabi: Sorry, Has registration started yet?
Thought it's September?

I have a friend that Won in the first edition of the competition.

Full registration may likely commence this month. But one can still open an account on the YouWiN site for now.

Danix101: Olsie,please where do u get this Original NLNG Invitation Letter because I have recieved their sms but no email..

Have you checked BOTH your "inbox" and "Spam" mail folders?
You will be prompted to logon to https://sws.nlng.com/Undgrad/ with your username and password to print your photo card.

Olugbenger: i really appreciate people like you who offer credible services and who is always ready to help free of charge...may GOD continue to bless you!
pls do u av any idea where we can get the past questions free?

Amen. Unfortunately I don't where you can get the past questions for free.

JesusG: Its an extremly easy process this year, you don't need to give someone money to buy a card for you, this time around there is no scrath card. Just walk into any Zenith bank branch and a Pin will be generated for you with in a print-out for N300, no bank charges. I did mine in uniben. Go to the cyber cafe and apply using the pin written in the printout. No biometrics(thum capture), no Hod is signature, no dean of student affairs or even local govt. chairman is involved. They have your full details once you type in your Jamb Reg no including your local govt. area and they cannot be edited.

PERFECT CONTRIBUTION. Thumbs up @JesusG

Gift19: Pls which branch of zenith bank in lagos sells d scratchcard?

All branches of Zenith bank should have.

ShehuAba: @olsey, please what can we read to prepare very well for this examination. Thanks

Quantitative reasoning, Verbal aptitude, Current affairs and analytical reasoning.
I've seen some people who claim to be selling NLNG past questions, but people end up disappointed on seeing the real questions in the exam hall. Don't fall prey...just a general advice.

Saeed348: ASUP and ASUU strike also contribute to its delay..Dnt u thnK So...?

No, it doesn't. F*S*B does this almost every year and they don't even release the results to the public neither do we know when they contact 'shortlisted candidates.'

FSB is usually almost completely inaccessible and non-responsive (website, phone lines, e-mails) after putting up their offers.

Good Boi: Anyone with card for sale? The cards are not available in Port Harcourt.

Have you checked the branches of Zenith Bank in Port Harcourt?

Abdulumaratiku: Pls mr. If u win d scholarship must u go down to lagos for d award?

Yes, the presentation holds in Lagos.

Walexyl: @Olsey: How far with FSB since February? Wont they release result and besides their website is not going again. FSB is the only hope I have now after Odua, Chevron and Total failed to shortlist me. I hope soething positive comes out of FSB especially for me. UPDATE pls!

With anything 'Nigerian Government', an extremely high level of patience is needed.

Godsgift007: has anybody done his!her own.
Need the full gist

I was just about to ask the same thing.
Has anyone here applied?

Olalekan 0: Where's Davido's supposedly "billionaire father"? I'd always known the man's wealth was hugely exagerated. I mean what billionaire businessman would have the time to work at a university as a chancellor? If the man was/is as rich as the media portrays,how come no one knew him until his son became a musician?

My uncle's wife is a bossom friend of the second wife of Isiaka Adeleke(Davido's uncle who's a former senator) and she tells me Davido's dad is just as rich as a senator and nothing more!

But Nigerian SINators Senators are rich.

lagerwhenindoubt: The best job there is

Politics, you mean.

samley19: sir olsey,i meant: would the interview be oral or writtn. what are thier likely questions. would the interview be the only determinant for those to be picked;don't they consider our g.p's

The interview will be ORAL. Please scroll up, I wrote some of the things to be expected at the interview. CGPA will count since "brilliant and indigent" are the two key factors, however CGPA will not be a final decider. Applicants should have a combination of the key qualities.
In as much as you try to prove your intellectual worth to the panel (coupled with claims of financial constraints), humility still counts.

Saraben: ...i mean reimbursement 4 transport,,we sent our account details lik 2 months bk,,jst wanted to knw if it is same everywhere

I'm not sure anyone has been paid either. I stand to be corrected though.

samley19: sir, wd d interview alon b d determinant of dose to b pikd:. dnt dey considr our gp's nd wd it b an oral interview.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Sungba: Hope they are nt going to use indigene stuff,and wat abt our passport?still waiting 4 my result o so dt i can start getting d document.

"Indegenship" is not a factor.
