johnHadey:
it wouldnt affect u, but its advisable u write it..
u can get admission without english proficiency and u can also apply for visa without it...standardized test proofs some level of seriousness to ur C.O as a student. and u would def need it for extension visa application after MSc..
what is worth doing is worth doing now..
P.S would advise u take PTE instead of IELTS or TOEFL.

Pls i googled PTE,i saw 38k,is it that cheap? Cos i think IELTS is now 50something.thanks

cremeuc:
i applied to Griffith Western Sydney university and Canberra

Thanks so much.i was trying to get their fees,i couldn't. One agent in Lag said,the IELTS is important to get visa,he said admission can be secured but visa requires IELTS. I'm confused.

cremeuc:

excellencyabia1:
you are too fast. And it seems that you are a defence

Point of correction,A DEFENDER.#teamcivildefender

excellencyabia1:
did civil defence start with gun? Mr school

they did not,and that was because of the way it was incorporated. that's why I said you should read it up. Can you protect the pipeline from armed vandals without weapons?guy,google it!

excellencyabia1:
Very soon they will be given gun like civil defence

I take exception to that blunder you just made. Are you schooled at all? I doubt it,because if you are,you won't mention Civil Defence. Go and read it up and back to NL to make a comment. Or better still ask people that know the role of Civil Defence in the Country. (by the way,google civil defence in other countries)

Today 5th February 2016,the Nigeria police bombarded the state headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,Ibadan.
this is as a result of a fight that ensued along iyaganku area in Ibadan. An officer of civil defence while going to work around 8.30am saw a police officer beating up a road safety officer ,the civil defence officer got down from the bike and told the police officer to take caution,because it is wrong to beat up an officer especially on uniform. this police officer got angry and pushed the civil defence oficer ,calling him a useless officer for stopping him from beating the road safety officer. by this,the police officer called for reinforcement from his office,they came and arrested the civil defence officer.
this matter was reported to the state commandant,Commandant Adewoye,who in turn sent two Assistant Commandants to Iyaganku Police station to demand that the officer be released, instead they detained the Assistant Commandants and locked them up in the cell. The patrol van conveying one armed man was collected with the four tyres punctured. they almost disarmed the driver of the vehicle,but he was able to fight the police with the butt of his ak47 rifle.
About 20 minutes later, the Mobile police came into the Headquarters of Civil Defence with armoured tank,6 patrol vans and 3 lorries filled with armed men, reacting to what happened earlier.
as at typing this report, we received information that the Assistant Commandants and the other officers in the custody of the police have been injured and transferred to their headquarters at eleyele.
Police will not stop to buly other security agencies if a lawsuit is not filed against them.

kennethagada:

Such a sensitive topic. Your source please?

Ambassador Susan Rice was up until recently the American Ambassador to the United Nations. Her long-standing aspiration of becoming the Secretary of State for her country was dashed when the Republicans in the Senate started sharpening their knives in anticipation of her formal nomination for that position by President Barak Obama.

Sensing that her nomination would not scale through the Senate and that she would not be confirmed as Secretary of State due to the role she played in the cover up of the Benghazi affair in which the American Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other American citizens were murdered by a group of islamist terrorists, her nomination was withdrawn.

Instead of Secretary of State, President Obama has now nominated her for the position of National Security Advisor which is a job that does not require Senate approval or confirmation. I wish Susan Rice well in her new assignment but I am constrained to ask the following questions and the people of Nigeria would like to have the answers. What was put in the tea that was served to Chief MKO Abiola on July 8th 1998 just before he died? She was one of the last people that saw him alive, Abiola coughed violently, collapsed right in front of her and her team and one hour later he was dead. What was in the tea? Was it Abuja ”green tea”, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Lipton or some other more exotic brand?

Abiola was the winner of Nigeria’s freest and fairest elections. That election took place on June 12th 1993. The following day it was annuled by General Ibrahim Babangida. Shortly after that, as a consequence of the sheer outrage that was generated by the annulement, Babangida was compelled to ”step aside” and hand over power to Chief Ernest Shonekan. In what was clearly a strategic manouver he left General Sani Abacha (his own Chief of Army Staff) behind to be the Minister of Defence for the incoming administration.

A few months later Abacha toppled the Interim National Government of Chief Ernest Shonekan which he had served and seized power for himself. Abiola was arrested and detained. He was never granted his freedom again. Four years later Abacha himself was murdered by forces that are yet to be identified and General Abdulsalami Abubakar took power. Exactly 30 days after Abacha was killed, those same forces that killed him murdered Abiola as well in an attempt to ”balance the equation”.


These are the facts and sequence of events. One thing is self-evident and cannot be denied no matter which side of the divide one may have been on in the June 12th saga- certain questions must be answered. And some of those questions are as follows. Who killed MKO Abiola? Who killed Sani Abacha? Who sent the respected Chief Emeka Anyaoku (the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth at the time) and Mr. Kofi Annan (the Secretary General of the United Nations at the time) to meet with Abiola and ask him to relinquish and renounce his mandate if he wanted to be released? What was their response when Abiola refused to do so? What role, if any, did officials of the Abubakar administration play in the murder of both Abacha and Abiola? What role did the CIA play and exactly what transpired in the room when Assistant Secretary of State Susan Rice (as she then was), Ambassador Thomas Pickering and two other faceless and nameless officials from the American Embassy met with Abiola on that fateful day. For how long did Ambassador Pickering give him mouth to mouth resuscitation after he collapsed? Sadly instead of being revived and released that day Abiola died in what can only be described as mysterious and questionable circumstances.

This is all the more so because Abiola’s security officer and the man that was charged with looking after him and protecting him throughout the time that he was incarcerated (an honest, upstanding and courageous police officer by the name of ASP Zadok) told the Oputa panel in 2002 that Abiola was ”hale and hearty” and in ”very high spirits” just before going into the meeting with the Americans.

He went further by telling the panel that as he was about to enter Aguda House (the premises where the meeting was scheduled to be held) with Abiola he was asked to leave his principal, to step out of the premises and to go and pick up another car from somewhere else by one of General Abdulsalami’s security officers. He promptly obeyed the order but half an hour later when he came back he found Abiola in a terrible condition, coughing violently, writhing all over the floor in pain and breathing his last breath. Thirty minutes later he gave up the ghost.

Another question that needs to be answered is the one that the respected columnist Mr. Gbolabo Ogunsanwo has dubbed as ”the question of the missing one hour”. Permit me to explain. According to the testimony that was given to the Oputa Panel by Major Hamza Al Mustapha, who was General Abacha’s Chief Security Officer, from the first day that Abiola was arrested right up until the day that he was murdered he (Al Mustapha) was in charge of his (Abiola’s) security. Each time Abiola was moved from one safe house to another he had to sign for it. Each time Abiola ate his food or drank anything, his men tasted and drank it before-hand. He went as far as to say that each time Abiola went to the toilet he was made aware of it and that nothing happened around Abiola or to him without his direct permission and the involvement of his most loyal men. After Abacha was murdered and Abdulsalami Abubakar became Head of State, Al Mustapha was still in charge of Abiola’s security and he still maintained direct responsibility for his life, his well-being and his welfare right up until the minute that he was murdered.

When Mustapha appeared before the Oputa Panel he exposed the fact that in the entire period of four years that he and his team watched over Abiola it was only in the one hour that he was killed that they had no knowledge or control of what was happening to or around him. According to him, Abiola was removed from the guest house that he had been staying without his (Al Mustapha’s) signature or knowledge and without anyone seeking his permission. Simply put he was kept in the dark about the whole thing. Secret orders were given to keep him out of the loop, to take Abiola to a destination which he knew nothing about and to ensure that none of the usual trusted food tasters and minders were with him.

The only person that accompanied Abiola from the old guard of those that had watched over him for the previous four years was ASP Zadok and when they arrived at Aguda House (the venue of the meeting) he was conveniently sent on a meaningless errand by General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s Chief Security Officer and told to leave. Hence for the first time in four years Abiola was left completely on his own and he was surrounded by a coterie of strange faces and professional spooks who had no genuine affection or empathy for him. He was with them for one hour and during that hour not one of those that had watched over him, that had secured his safety and that he had grown familiar with over the entire four year period of his incarceration was with him. It was during that ”missing hour”, when he was all alone and very vulnerable, that he was poisoned.

Sadly by the time Zadok, who was undoubtedly loyal to him, returned to the scene Abiola was already dying. The question is who gave the order for Abiola to be brought to that meeting? Why did they keep Al Mustapha in the dark about it? Why was Zadok sent to bring another vehicle that was obviously not needed? That one hour, and what transpired during it’s course, holds the key to everything. It appears that Abiola was lured into a trap by a group of smiling strangers who did not wish him well and who had sinister plans for him. It was like leading a lamb to the slaughter.

The other issue that has generated considerable controversy was the issue of the autopsy. Two autopsies took place. The first consisted of a panel of international and foreign pathologists who were flown to Nigeria to conduct the exercise under the auspices of the Federal Government and some foreign governments. They returned a verdict of ”death by natural causes” occassioned by a ”heart attack”.

The result was predictable given the fact that the panel was made up of five foreign doctors without one Nigerian making any input or being on the team. The family smelt a rat and they rejected the results on the grounds that they were not represented in the panel of pathologists that had conducted the exercise and because no Nigerian doctor participated. They felt that they were entitled to make an input and to have either their own doctor on the panel or at least one or two Nigerian doctors on the team.

As a consequence of their concerns a second autopsy was conducted which also returned a verdict of ”death by natural causes” and which also concluded that Abiola died from a ”heart attack”. Ordinarily this would have brought closure to the whole matter until one considers the fact that it was the Federal Government itself that organised the second autopsy as well and that the team of doctors that carried it out was led by General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s personal physician whilst the British and the Americans sent one doctor each to ”assist the process” and to ”protect their own interest”. The question is whether these people could have been trusted and who were they really working for? Dr. Ore Falomo, who was Abiola’s personal physician, was also present at the second autopsy but he was only there as an ”observer” and not a participant. The question is why this was so and why would anyone expect a team of pathologists that were assembled and chosen by the prime suspects in a murder case to do an autopsy on the remains of their victim and come out with any verdict other than one of ”death by natural causes?”
To confirm our suspicions Falomo told Sunday Punch in an interview on June 9th 2013 that he believed that ”the United States of America killed Abiola” and that he believed that Ambassador Pickering was ”a CIA agent that had questions to answer”. He also made the interesting point that there are certain drugs that can be administered to an individual that would simply cause that individual’s heart to stop beating and that this would lead to death in a matter of minutes. He argued that such drugs would not leave any traces of poison. He went on to say that he believed that it was one of such drugs that was administered to Abiola and that it had been placed in the flask with which they had used to pour him tea at that fateful meeting. Falomo, who is obviously a deeply courageous man, is right and the veracity of his assertions cannot be denied.

It is generally accepted that when the more sophisticated intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MOSSAD, M16, MI5, FSB, FIS and others are involved in such ”wet operations” in which they use poison to eliminate a target, the type of lethal substances that they employ and administer are untraceable and undetectable. A good example of this is a substance known as sodium fluoroacetate which, when administered, causes an instantaneous heart attack but which is very difficult to trace and, more often than not, cannot be traced at all. No autopsy will be able to detect such a substance and neither will any trace of it remain in the blood of the victim or in his body parts.

No intelligence agency worth its salt, including the CIA, leaves any trace or evidence of foul play when they choose to kill somebody of significant importance. I believe that the poison that was used to exterminate Abiola was the same type that was used to take out Yasser Arafat (the former leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation) in November 2004, Robin Cooke MP (the former British Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the House of Commons) in August 2005 and Boris Berezovsky (the Russian billionaire and oligarch) in March 2013.

The first was killed by MOSSAD because he had become an unbearable thorn in the flesh to the State of Israel, the second was killed by M15 because he was about to reveal the truth about the murder of Princess Diana and the third was killed by FIS (the Russian foreign intelligence service) because of his consistent criticisms and opposition to Putin’s government. In all three cases the autopsies revealed nothing suspicious and returned a verdict of ”death by natural causes” occassioned by a ”heart attack”, and in the case of Arafat, by ”a massive brain haemmorhage”. How convenient this was. Who is fooling who?
Given these circumstances I have no doubt that Abiola’s death was a case of premeditated murder but the question is whose call was it and why did it have to happen? What was the motive? Was it done just to ”balance the equation” as some said at the time or was it done in an attempt to pave the way for an Obasanjo Presidency one year later? Could General Olusegun Obasanjo have been released from jail and elected President if Abiola had lived and if he had insisted on claiming his mandate? The Nigerian people have a right to know the truth and it is about time that those that have wielded power in this country for the last few decades told them.

The powers that be must appreciate the fact that they cannot sweep things under the carpet forever and that one day, no matter how long it takes, they will be held accountable by God and the Nigerian people for the morbid, secret and oftentimes homicidal choices and decisions that they made.

Yet the truth is that the military operates like a cult and we may never get an honest answer from any of them about what really happened. This is because there are very few Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar’s in the Nigerian military.

Very few of them are prepared to break ranks with the leadership and break the ”omerta” code of silence like Abubakar Umar did over the June 12th election. Very few of them are prepared to call a spade a spade, speak the truth, expose the lie and damn the consequences. Most of them continue to spin the yarn and tell the lie that Abacha and Abiola’s deaths were both from natural causes and that it was just a coincidence that one dropped dead on June 8th 1998, just 4 days before the 5th anniversary of June 12th, and the other droped dead exactly one month later on July 8th 1998. As they say ”the secrets are embedded in the sequence of events, the numbers and the dates” and, in this case, the sequence of events, the numbers and the dates really do tell an interesting and revealing story.

Yet no matter how hard they try to cover her up and silence her, truth is stubborn and she cannot be drowned. She is like a pack of straws that are held together and pinned down by an all-powerful hand at the bottom of a river. As long as she is held at the bottom of that river she cannot be seen or heard. Yet one day, in the fullness of time, that all-powerful hand that seeks to supress her forever will get tired and let go and at that point Lady Truth will happily float to the top of the water where she will be seen and heard by all. It is in the same way that one day, in the fullness of time, the pernicious and perfidious verdict of “death by natural causes” or “act of God” that the powers that be have claimed are the causes of Abiola and Abacha’s deaths respectively will be exposed for what they are.

The fact of the matter is that until these questions are answered and justice is done Nigeria will not know lasting peace and she cannot possibly achieve her fulll potentials. It is a spiritual thing. Abiola gave his life that we may have a better tomorrow yet we refuse to acknowledge it or to bring his killers to justice. We are repaying his good with evil and the consequences of that are set out in the Word of God. Whatever anyone may have thought of him as a person, the fact remains that had it not been for Abiola’s sheer resilience, courage, steadfastness, sacrifice and gallant refusal to bow before the Nigerian military and give up his 1993 Presidential mandate we would not have democracy in Nigeria today. He was faithful to his cause to the very last. In return for that the least we could do is to ask the relevant questions, demand the appropiate answers and expose the bitter truth. We owe MKO Abiola, his wife Kudirat (who was also murdered) and all the other June 12th and NADECO footsoldiers and martyrs that much

How MKO Abiola Was Killed[/size][size=8pt]
By
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Theodore Bethnel Zadok

Zadok in his evidence-in-chief at the hearing of the petition by Abiola’s first son, Kola and physician, Dr. Ore Falomo, related how he was apparently handed away from Chief Abiola, and by the time he returned to him, he had been offered tea, only to be dead a few minutes thereafter.

Reading from a prepared text, the police officer said: “I was posted to head the detention base of Chief M. K. O. Abiola with about thirteen (13) body guards under me. and since the day I took over the duties of the detention camp of Chief M. K. O. Abiola I was responsible for collecting the sum of N800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand Naira) quarterly from Major Hamza Al-Mustapha to the commissioner of police FCT command Abuja for his feeding.

That is three times a day subject to what he wanted to eat. I also took care of his health by seeing the Doctor any time he complained of any illness. In view of this he never ate any food or drank any thing without me tasting it first before giving it to him to eat or drink.

“I always collected some money from the Chief Security Officer Major Hamza Al-Mustapha to buy toiletries, fruit drinks, bedding and water.

“The Chief Security Officer Major hamza Al-Mustapha ordered me to give Chief MKO Abiola Koran and Bible for reading and I used to collect some money from the Chief Security Officer to buy some newspapers and magazines for the chief to read, and also give the chief some plain sheets for anything he might wish to write. My lord, Chief MKO Abiola never believed that I was a Security man who came to guard him, but a son who came to take care of his father. I will like to support this statement with a written note, written to me by Chief MKO Abiola.

“Before General Oladipo Diya’s coup attempt, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, on the 10th of December, 1997 ordered me to take Chief MKO Abiola to any safe place, preferably the commissioner of police guest house at Wuse. And after the said failed coup attempt Major hamza Al-Mustapha ordered me to move Chief MKO Abiola from the commissioner’s guest house to Kado Housing Estate popularly known as Jeremiah Useni Housing Estate Kado.

“On the 8th day of June 1998 the day the Head of State General Sani Abacha died the chief Security Officer Major Hamza Al-Mustapha ordered me along with Lt. Ikilama to move Chief MKO Abiola from Kado Housing Estate to Gado Nasko Barracks and from there all the 13 body guards attached to me were withdrawn except the driver and leaving the soldiers of the Guards Brigade to take over the guard.

But I was still left behind to be bringing food to Chief MKO Abiola as usual from the police officers mess Wuse Zone 7. Chief MKO Abiola was informed of the death of General Sani Abacha and the appointment of General Abdulsalami Abubakar as the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief. he wrote letters to general Abdulsalami Abubakar and the service Chiefs gave them to me to Photostat them for him.

He gave me some copies to give to Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and passed the rest to the respective owners. After the expiration of the second quarter allocation of N800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand naira) I approached Major A. S. Aliyu Chief Security Officer to General Abdulsalami Abubakar to collect the money for the next quarter. He only told me he had heard me.

“On the day in question, the 7th Day of July 1998 at about 11.30hrs, the Chief Security Officer to General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Major A. S. Aliyu called me on the radio set, asking me to see him in his office. I then proceeded to his office and he instructed me to bring Chief MKO Abiola to Aguda House for an interview to be held by 1300 hrs.

“I then went back to the base and informed Chief MKO Abiola of the interview and he asked me whether Major Hamza Al- Mustapha was aware of the said interview. I told him didn’t know because Major Hamza Al-Mustapha was busy handing and taking over but I would see if I could locate him to inform him.

“He asked me to bring his dresses which he would wear and also asked me to give him 30 minutes to enable him get dressed. At about 1230hrs the Chief Security Officer to general Abdulsalami Abubakar Major A. S. Aliyu came to the base. To the best of my knowledge, that was the first time he knew that place, wanting to know if we were ready and I replied him almost ready. As we opened the door the Chief was already waiting for us. Together we went out and headed to Aguda House, venue of the Interview”.

“Before we all left the base, chief MKO Abiola was in sound and healthy condition. He did not complain to me of any illness. About 100 metres from the door stand of the Aguda House, the controller from the control room called me on the radio set and said, I quote, “30 BRAVO your LOG I answered ALFA GOLF UNIFORM DELTA ALFA, HOTEL. And he said MAIG SYRIA GOLF from the OSCAR FOXTROT FOXTROT OF CHARLIE OSCAR GOLF SYRIA you should ROMEO PAPA TANGO to see the subject INDIA MIKE MIKE I answered RECEIVED.”

Meaning 2i/c Prescort your present location. I answered Aguda House and he gave the message from the office of the Chief of General Staff and that you should see the Chief of General Staff Admiral Mike Akhigbhe immediately please and I answered noted please.

“As we arrived at the Aguda House door step, I led Chief MKO Abiola inside the house and I took permission from the Chief Security Officer to General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Major A. S. Aliyu in whose custody I left Chief MKO Abiola.

“He asked me to use his vehicle, leaving my vehicle at the door step where it was parked. I then took his vehicle as entrusted and left to see the Chief of General Staff Admiral Mike Akhigbe at about 1310hrs and I came back from seeing Admiral Mike Akhigbe at about 1350hrs, only to discover that my vehicle was not there at the parking spot. On arrival, I saw one of my Body Guards Sunday Pada standing by the side of the door.

I asked him where they had gone. He replied me they were inside and that the Chief Security Officer only sent my vehicle to Aso-Clinic and as I was about to enter the room, I met with the Chief Security Officer, Major A. S. Aliyu who told me that Chief MKO Abiola was not feeling fine and after taking a cup of tea he coughed and feel down.

“I quickly went inside and I saw Chief MKO Abiola lying on the floor facing down. I called him. for the first time he answered, and I lifted him up and turned him upside and called him again for the second time he did not answer. At that time doctor Sadiq Sani Wali from Aso Clinic arrived and about examining the chief.

I told him we should rush the Chief to the clinic for proper treatment. Myself, the Chief Security Officer, Major A. S. Aliyu, Doctor Sadiq Sani Wali and the two white men standing lifted Chief MKO Abiola into my vehicle outside for onward movement to Aso-clinic.

Before getting to Aso-Clinic I saw Dr. Sadiq Sani Wali pressing his (Abiola’s) stomach up and down a kind of resuscitating him. As we arrived the clinic, Chief M.K.O. Abiola was rushed to the Emergency Room where I stood by with the doctors including the two white men and the Chief Security Officer Major Aliyu until when Dr. Sadiq Sani Wali later confirmed to us that Chief M.K.O Abiola was dead.

“We came out of the Emergency Room and the Chief Security Officer Major A. S. Aliyu phoned the villa, I heard him saying to the ADC please, connect me to the Head of State I have an important message for him. For about three minutes they continued the discussion with the Head of State while he was moving towards his vehicle outside. So I didn’t hear what he was discussing with the Head of State. After the phone call, we both left for the villa,

“The questions to ask are:

Who gave Chief M.K.O. Abiola tea in my absence?

Who tasted the tea before giving it to him?

And in whose presence was the tea tasted?

“The questions are for the Chief Security Officer to General Abdulsalam Abubakar; Major Aliyu to answer. And I want to testify before this Honourable Commission that on the 6th day of July 1998 at about 2200hrs Kola Abiola the son to late Chief M.K.O. Abiola his step mother; and about three of his sisters were with their father at Aguda House until 0130hrs of 7th July, 1998. I want to say categorically here that his father Chief M.K.O. Abiola was in a sound and healthy condition.

“Based on the statement made to the Commission by Femi Falana on the 5th day of July 2001 that Chief M.K.O Abiola was driven from Kano State to Abuja where he said that the Chief fell inside the Black Maria four times before arriving Abuja is totally false, because to the best of my knowledge Chief M.K.O Abiola was never detained out of Abuja.

“On the 28th day of July 1998, I collected, from the Commander Brigade of Guards, Gado Nasko Barracks, the late Chief M.K.O Abiola’s property and handed them over to Alhaji Babagana Kingibe on the 31st day of July, 1998 who ordered his orderly Sergeant Mustapha Gana to check, sign and collect the property from me and he, Babagana Kingibe, made a contact call to the family of Chief M.K.O. Abiola to come forward and collect the said property.

Good afternoon my country people.

Before I comment...may I refer you to this post (click here)

Private universities in Nigeria recieve zero funding from government. As a result they have to raise money from the fees they charge....which is why many of them charge high fees.

If you want them to charge low fees....ask the government to take them over. But with the embarrassed state of our treasury...I doubt that the government would agree.

And the prof is right. In Obodo Oyinbo(US)....private school fees start from $22000-$50000. (N4,379,100-N9,952.500..4million-10million naira approx yearly). As a result....oyinbo universities can afford nice buildings, nice facilities, nice libraries, nice sports facilities, etc. They also get billions in funding from donations....and such.(And some universities in the US...eg Duke, cost 58000 USD.....that is over 10 million naira.).

Now...I am not saying that we should raise fees to N4 million per session. I am saying that Prof , whom you insult , is right. Nigerian universities are not as expensive as foreign universities....I mean the private ones.

You Nigerians want awoof....but you do not want to pay for the awoof. Note that we are oil dependent, and we produce about 3million barrels per day. Oil prices have fallen.....and we have to share the money we make among 170 million people....whereas Saudi, UAE and Norway have to share their oil money among populations less than 15 million.each.

The truth of the matter is....we have to pay higher for quality. After all...some of you say Nigerian universities are bad...and yes...some of the universities are presided by corrupt entities. But.....even then.....universities need funding. So...as you dey insult Prof...think about that.

as a matter of fact i'm not a lawyer, i'm an accountant.

arabianights:
Well noted.I will learn from you. no need to translate latin as i understand it.you be lawyer?

resip sua loquitor,(the thing speaks for itself),you quoted someone else's post that the fees are too expensive. if you dont know how to express yourself maybe you should just.....you know

arabianights:
Do you even understand what am expressing at all? Kai abeg go on and have a niiiiiccccce week ahead, you hear?

That is if you can afford it. if you complain that private universities in Nigeria are expensive,google universities in US and UK. Common public university in those countries i doubt if you can afford them with your myopic thinking.

arabianights:
Leave him!!! he thinks its fools that will read the interview.Imagine,.......................I would rather send my son overseas than a private university in this country.

for those of you criticizing this man. he is actually correct about the subventions public universities receive to run the institutions. The fees paid in public universities are subsidized. Why do people not do their research before blabbing and saying all sort of rubbish.

these politicians sha,they always have a way of turning everything,may God help this country country from politics jeko jeko

I dont know much about the undergraduate route,but i will advice she continues with the ielts,although i later found out that not all schools demand for an ielts,only problem is that if you are looking for a school without the ielts requirement,you will narrow your school options greatly.
At 27,im sure she has a first degree and you also,with some job experience,why not try the 189 route?i think it will be a better option(although it takes longer) ,as you can also decide to study or work when you get there.
You forgot to mention what course she wants to study,as some schools have advantages over others in certain courses.

PS:your chances of migration can only be determined by the point test,schools listed under svp dont require bank statements,and finally australian schools are not cheap bro.

she's planning to study education, and yes,she has a first degree. but we want her to go through undergrad for longer visa cos we are going with the family. does the student visa come fast?
