Hello great people, I intend registering for TOEFL but I want to ask those who have done online transactions similar to this: which bank has the best exchange rate? or do I register with a center? I know the exam costs $185, which exchange rate do I calculate with (CBN, Banks or BDCs)?

Thank you all and God bless our hustle.
cheers

Sir, you are simply astonishing! All that those lecturers failed to teach us in my Agric school is what you have been dishing out like bread and butter! Chai..God bless you sir.

I want to venture into organic sack farming for cucumber and tomato. Can I be a mentee of yours?

Sports › Re: Katsuya Takasu With Mikel Obi & Siasia As He Fulfills His $390,000 Promise by Perotti: 11:37am On Aug 21, 2016

One of the greatest reasons Nigeria and indeed Africa can never be as great as these whites is that our elites and wealthy persons are so damn greedy and never willing to help their fellow countrymen. Take a look @ the history of the USA and you get to see the great sacrifice the likes of John D Rockerfeller, Henry Ford and the owner of American steel company (can't remember his name) made for the advancement of their country, even tho they were businessmen. But come to Nigeria, you want to ask yourself, how many students have benefited from scholarships from Dangote, Otedola et al? How many universities in Nigeria have benefited from endowments and grants from our elites? It will shock you know that most Nigerian universities receive more funding from foreign benevolent foundations like Bill and Melinda Gates, Carnegie, et al than from our so called elites. This same scenario has just played out with our Olympic soccer team. What a shame!

Education › Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Perotti: 11:28am On Jul 26, 2016

SirRiddy, Happyday, Pennstate et al, I need an answer on this issue: what weight does published papers carry in the admission process? I am wrapping up my MS in Nigeria and I am trying to publish my research, however, the publisher (a top ranked peer-reviewed one) doesn't want to accept my work due to a myriad of factors; the reviewers are questioning every detail in the paper and the response I have given isn't impressing them. I want to ask you guys if you published your undergrad/MSc papers in reputable journals when you were studying in Nigeria. Is it really compulsory to publish in reputable journals for the sake of seeking admission to US schools (especially PhD)?

Thank you all as I anticipate your responses.

Celebrities › Re: Tiwa Savage Accused Of Joining Illuminati by Perotti: 1:18am On Jul 26, 2016

Those who want to live in denial of the existence of the Illuminati should do so at their own peril. We are not easily deceived. Micheal Jackson,2pac spoke out against them and go served hot. There has been no major international act (dead or alive) with no affiliations with this unfortunate group. There's a particular song JayZ admits being a Mason, Rick Ross featured in that song. If the Devil could tempt Jesus with all the riches/fame/glory the world has to offer, how much more of mere mortals?

Guys, I have a skype interview coming up soon with an European University for a PhD position.

Can anyone, who has a similar experience, give me an idea on what it looks like or entails?

opportunities like this don't come often & I need to be in top form.

Thanks.

First, they ask about your research interests and career goals. Then they could ask if you have any publications/conferences attended. Then they can also ask if you have any ideas for the PhD positions. Just be calm and confident. It's gonna be easy.
What course is it?

jornie:
That's what happens when you want free education and you get scammed at the same time.
I've said it many times,nothing is free,someone's paying somewhere.Another one,'alot of people' take advantage of things that come free.if OAU had being a school where students themselves pay/ are funded to pay as much as the education is worth, OAU might be competing with the best schools in the world. Real talk, this free education thing has only further caused a rot in our system,producing unskilled low priced graduates.

But education is free in Finland, Germany, Saudi Arabia et al. Pls give facts and figures on how free education correlates with low educational standards. The problem with most Nigerian universities is corruption and lack of maintenance. If you like increase school fees to 1Million, if the proper management is not in place, it will turn out as a colossal waste of resources.

Travel › Re: Any Nairalander In Abidjan? by Perotti: 11:58pm On Jul 04, 2016

Wow, my Abidjan. I spent a couple of my childhood years in that city before the civil war. My folks relocated back to 9ja in 04. I still long to visit Grand-Bassam and the exotic Sococe supermarket in Deux Plateau. Abidjan used to be known as the Paris of Africa esp in the 90s. Mobile phones penetrated that country long before it did in 9ja.

Guys, I am very desirous of working in that city, especially at the African Dev Bank headquarters. So help me God!
