I despise flying.

chatinent:
Thanks for sharing this.

uwc.

Anatolia:
Apply for American Schools.

Alright sir.
Incase you come across anyone I will gladly appreciate it if you can share with me through this mail: shamsin6300@gmail.com

Thanks

Honestly, try Asian countries especially Japan and South Korea . Then applying for direct PhD in USA is another good option.

shamsin6300:
I almost secured a fully funded scholarship at UK having gotten the admission but lose out on the sponsor.

Apart from the UK scholarship, I have applied for like 9 different scholarships but couldn't succeed in any.

Any motivation for me? Because I don't loose hope in any scholarship like this.

Thank you. I have been thinking about the options honestly. In California, it's another masters and rent is almost the money I will be paid for TA. But in Japan, three years boom, PhD is done. Thanks for your input.

Equity15:
wow nice read!! Your story is similar to mine but mine wasn't in the academics line. God bless you. I'd advise you continue with your PhD, you can always move to the U.S or any country you wish with it. Best of luck!!

Na big big tins yu de like 😂

I am quite acrophobic... I had to act up like I wasn't new to it but after it took off, I felt badly nauseous that to locate lavatory come bi problem for me. See sweat. I asked one member of the cabin crew and she giggled and guided me while staying outside the door. See me they struggle to reduce the volumn of the throwup with red eyes. Haha. Omo I finished, to come open door knob come bi problem for local man again. Had to knock a bit and she opened it trying to stifle her explosive laugher.

Trust me, I bone, and staggered to my space. Omo, another wahala of looking for my seat come bi problem o. I maintained steeze continuously falling my hands.

I think another time was going into the business class when I was economy. I no fit talk this one o.😅😅😅

Beremx:

First time was October 10, 2022. I was traveling to Japan, Tokyo precisely to do my masters having won the Japanese MEXT scholarship. It was an all-expenses paid trip. I took off from Abuja via Turkish airways by 11 pm in the night direct to Istanbul (about 6:30min) flight. When we were undergoing check at the Abuja airport, it was like as if it's a film. I could remember all the scholarship rejections I have been getting since finishing nysc in 2015, including the construction sites in Onitsha where I used to do labour work despite being the best graduating student of my cohort. Everything seemed like a movie when after the check, we kept on being told to move from one location to another to wait for flight time. While seating down with other travellers, I was full of thanksgiving in my mind, and I knew it was just grace. When I entered the plane, my god, I nearly cried. But the multitude of people coming in made me realise it's a normal thing. I sat beside the window with one guy travelling to Turkey with his father. When the plane moved, I didn't know that it was going up in the air untill the whole buildings begin to look so tiny while I looked down. I said in my mind good bye naija. I remembered my mother, my brother and friends who probably will be waiting for the morning to set out for hustling. As the plane kept on moving, the beautiful air hostess began to move something and my guy told me they will be serving us food. I laughed and was so happy. I ate all the things and said yest when the air hostess asked if I still care for more drink. Suddenly we began to see only clouds. We got to Istanbul very early in the morning. I laid over for 17 hrs before boarding from Istanbul to Tokyo. While in the Turkish airport, I was hopping from one restaurant to another, trying to finish 100usd I brought out from the money with me but it refused to finish. When we finally set off to Tokyo, they served us food twice. It was a long journey and while people beside me slept many times, I was awake and watching the clouds. I saw from the small screen places we have crossed and getting to(Bhutan, Azerbaijan, South Korea, china etc) when we finally landed in Tokyo, I nearly shout seeing the magnificence if the Haneda airport. I began to remember all those who ruled Nigeria and the depth of wickedness in them. At the airport, I also went through thorough check being a Nigerian. They told me to empty all the food stuffs and clothes. I gladly did and was eager to do more for them. They finished their checking and thanked me for cooperating with them. They asked if I want work permit. I said yes and they directed me to an office where I got it immediately. I slept in the airport instead of wasting money lodging hotel since Tokyo is one of the safest cities. In the morning, I asked for direction and followed instructions on how to get to my school via train. I got to my school around 10:30 in the morning. The student exchange division received me and said they have been expecting my arrival. They led me to my room in the school dorm. I began to thank God and remembered all the experiences I went through in Nigeria.
Right now, I am in the process of finishing my masters and have been admitted for PhD in same school and scholarship. Also, I got another masters admission and scholarship in California and now, am confused as to which choice to follow.
May God bless the effort of every Nigerian trying to become better in life.

You would spend years in Nigeria before you can achieve this

Hello good day. Please I have few questions to ask with respect to the schorlarhip.

1. Is the funding enough to sustain beneficiaries throughout the program, especially if they are not working.

2. Does the schorlarhip also give room for beneficiaries to work while schooling?

I hate flying with a passion. I always say my last prayers. Flying the first time for me , is the same as flying second or third time. I de fear say e go crash. I hate it very very well

chaiks:
Honestly, try Asian countries especially Japan and South Korea . Then applying for direct PhD in USA is another good option.

I will look into that
Thanks for your time.

To de win scholarship up and down,u must be very clever. Dull person nor de win o

Yeah, nice experience, i can help recreate the experience for you ...are you interested?

Beremx:
My first flight was to Abuja courtesy of a great friend. It was equally my first time visiting Abuja. I was nervous initially but I became comfortable later. After that flight, I haven't traveled again by flight. Hope to travel and experience it soonest

Ekpoma1:
Logos to Abuja...thank God it wasn't during raining season. It was a smooth journey. One of the best experiences

Lol that's the irony. It's more turbulent on a clear sunny day than what you described due to what we call 'thermals'.

BABANGBALI:
I will never forget the horrible sounds that rang in my ears throughout the flight and after the trip.




Waiting to read lies from people who have never been to the airport. Mannabbqgrils, ajepako, fatymore, folake4u, Mynd44, funkybabee, Sweetplum, odefagirl, Dpen11and Midehi3 i didn't call una names o

So glad to read this

I ask for this kind of Grace too, so that I can share my testimony like you just did

which of the funding? The MEXT scholarship is fully funded and can sustain you while you have the right to work. The American TA for me is not enough.

chaiks:

Been doing M.Sc since 2019. Which kind life be that??
There are some things Nigerians get away with.

Thanks

Bro, opportunities abound. Find Universities that offer courses you like in the US with funding. Then write a personal statement, CV , obtain reference letters from people who know you are well-established like lecturers and then submit applications to at 3 or more US universities you think you stand a chance of being admitted.

Yes the MEXT schorlarhip. So you learnt to speak Japan before studying your choosen course? How does it work?

Thanks alot.

My first time traveling by air in Nigeria was a mix of excitement and nerves. I was flying from Lagos to Abuja. The anticipation built up as I arrived at the bustling Murtala Muhammed International Airport. After checking in and going through security, I found myself marveling at the planes on the tarmac.Boarding the aircraft was surreal. As the plane took off, the city below shrank into a beautiful patchwork. The smooth flight was a pleasant surprise, with the cabin crew ensuring everyone was comfortable. Seeing the clouds up close and the expansive views below was breathtaking.Landing in Abuja, I felt a sense of accomplishment and was eager for more air travel experiences. That first flight not only marked the beginning of many more journeys but also a newfound appreciation for aviation.

Lagos to Enugu. So fast I didn't believe I was in the east. Wonderful experience

I don't have any reason to travel now. Thanks sir I appreciate your kind offer
