esere826: 14) Back to 13) which is the issue of UK/Nigerian qualifications: My experience shows that all Nigerian Universities and mony others in Africa and beyond are taken as the same within the UK working world. So, they do not value your MAU or Covenant University certificate more than someone else's that finished from what some might call a local university in Nigeria. Now, don't get overly excited yet. Interesting it seems that they do not also value many of their own UK certificates more than yours. It's all considered to be flat, -yours and theirs, except you attended on of the top global universities.

Remember I had said that the UK system is elitist in nature. Your degrees start getting exciting to them if it it is from various countries, and is different from what they would usually see. So, lets as a Nigerian, you schooled in France, Canada and the US (even in their cheapest schools). The recruiters would almost immediately consider you as 'gold dust'. These things are quite complicated and not so straight forward.

Now, with your Nigeria and British normal certificates, what would set you apart is the grades and courses you acheived when in the University. 2.1's and 1sts are winners any day. These two kind of degrees will push you far in your acceptance into red brick universities and graduate careers.

So lets say a young man named Emeka attended University of Eba in Nigeria and made a 2.1 or 1st class in Bio-Chemistry. He went on to do an MBA in a lowly rated but (scholarship funded) university in the UK, and came out with a 2.1 minimum. For the ext two years after graduation, Emeka would have the oppurtunity to apply to top global companies around the world with a presence in the UK. He would be called for loads of interviews. The rest would be up to him.

If on the other hand, Suleiman attended the illustrous UNIfe in Nigeria and graduated with a 3rd class in Engineering. He studies in an averagely rated but expensive school in the UK and now graduates with a 2.1 MBA. He might have a tough time getting a graduate job. The reason is because many HR graduate hire computer systems are programmed to get rid of people that did not acheive a 2.1 or higher in their undergraduate degrees. I have tested this theory several times, and you can too. How do you do this? Simple. Create 2 cv's with different degree grades like I've mentioned and send them out to graduate recruiters. The content can even remain the same. You can go a step further while doing this excercise to send other CV's for examle in one, you could remove the country were you earlier worked, or change your name to something easy like Ben John. All these could give you a huge feel of how the system works.

ishmael: it's unfair of u to talk this way. If u didn't finish from there why not leave them alone? Stop calling them deregatory names. Rimi (St. John's College) Kaduna was one of the best schools in kaduna until govt and hausas decided to spoil it. I have a friend that finished that 88/89, Peter Michael. He later studied biological sciences in ABU Zaria.

stillme: My relationship is complicated. Some yrs back i approached a girl in my street but she turned me down because i was poor. I know she loves me,because she never hesitated to be my friend. She's loving and caring. As we get along,i met her elder sister who became fond of me. Before i knew it,we became close and fall in love.
She never mind my poor state. When the relationship became stronger, i could no longer keep it as secret,so i told her younger sister. she felt dissappointed at both of us. Manything went wrong btw them that almost tear them apart. I was so worried. Before their family give me a bad name, i had to seat the two of them and settled their disputes. Then we move on.
The story is long but i have to cut it short. I got a good job. After a year i got an apartment. Also i decided to go back to school. I enrolled for part time studies. Things began to improve. Out of nowhere,the younger sister appeared again,seducing me to fall for her. We cant seat down without her touchin me. For years now i have been avoiding her because i know if i fall into her trap, my life will be unbearable and full of regrets. Pls nairalanders,what do i do to stop her advances toward me. My wedding is this year.

r u marrying her elder sista?

Siena: ^^^ Comrade, when the word " better" is used in any context, it becomes a comparison. Onitilo asked if Russia is a better place to stay. Better than where? The answers he get would depend on where he currently resides. If he lives in the United States, the answer would be no. If he lives in Iraq, the answer would most likely be yes.

So his question is all about comparison.

unclenna: ever since i started trading fx i have been teaching and will continue to do so. I started a page with the link below my post to teach newbies and also release daily alert. My followers will testify hw much they have been imparted through this page. I believe that we all can help people make it in fx cos fx cash is too big 4 one person 2 finish. For those trading for people do not promise ur clients 100 percent in a month it will put u under pressure. At least 10% is ok for a month.

victorygoodness: Then how comes I won when the rules does not permit me? Then remember that in the EDV online form age limit was considered by U.S. Department and that is the reason why my age was accepted... But I m just hearing this for the 1st time..My sister won at 14 and she was giving visa. she is with my uncle in L.A. how comes? Please read dv instruction 20.

20. IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE FOR APPLICANTS TO APPLY FOR THE E-DV PROGRAM?
There is no minimum age to apply for the program, but the requirement of a high school education or work experience for each principal applicant at the time of application will effectively disqualify most persons who are under age 18.

According to my understanding, as long as I have finished high school with my waec then "There is no minimum age to apply for the program" applies and nullifies the conditional statement "but.........." what do you think? most important, my passport misplacement is my concern.. how much is interview fee now sir?

visa fee cost $330
