No kind of magic will make UBA's rate comparable to StanbicIBTC's. You better just go open the account

Thanks for your response. I will open the account on Monday. Do you know how long it may take to receive the debit card to commence online transaction?

Please, what's UBA rate today? I want to order for stuff online worth 750$. If Stanbic is far cheaper than UBA then I won't hesitate to open account with Stanbic ASAP. 35 naira difference is over 25k saved from 750$

jaz:
thanks. one more Q.

What are the requirements for direct entry to both degrees ?

I know that you require a minimum of OND to qualify for DE depending on the relationship of both courses.

It would be safe to go to a study centre and find out if you qualify.

Thank you.

dickoflife:
how long for msc

MSc is effectively 2to3 semesters.

jaz:
Any response here guys

Pol science is 4yrs, Law is 5yrs. If you go through direct entry, then it's n-1yrs

Hi guys pls I really need ur advise...I finished my ND last year now current working with one ISP company at lekki, I earn 40k every month....Now i'm confuse I want to go back for my HND or continue my work and apply for Noun DE... since I can work and run Noun degree.........

Continue with your work and apply to NOUN via DE and earn a BSc. You will be happier with this option. Subsequently, you may register for MSc in any university of your choice.

@sekinatmi, why not write GRE/GMAT and apply to schools in U.S that will guarantee u full funding till ur PhD sef? coz this 1st class in stats going to Germany might not really be the best sis, menial job dey but...ermmm..that degree will work wonders in U.S wit ur 1st class.. if U have a high score in GMAT, ul be guaranteed full funding in many schools in U.S and take ur kids along instead of Germany..

Try go for post grad like Machine Learning(really needed in states now, av little programming experience) coz in states with ur background in stats(hope u know how to use Octave, R, Matlab), im sure ur life will change oo..and I can bet my $100 on it..but if its cash constraint still do GMAT/GRE, apply whenever u r in Germany or start from now from Naija..apply to U.S skls..ul get funding sis, and ur kids will assimilate easily..

U av banking experience also;that surely fits well with stats..Permanent Residence(PR) in beautiful English speaking countries should not be ruled out also..Sister do ur homework and u will smile looking back at this.

Always have at least a day in a week to browse the web, gather info, form ur own opinion, check forums, ask(but dont take all suggestion coz person wey dey advice sometimes their IQ level is not even average oo..lol)

Hope you look into this

Most scholars would have chosen USA over Germany but the uncertainty of PR / Citizenship coupled with other hassles make some follow the straightforward system like Germany. Canada is another option.

Frankly, your advice is very true for a first class graduate in STEM. Scholarship will definitely make life smooth in US. We choose Germany because of d free tuition yet quality education.

I've resolved to keep my mind open and spread my tentacles.

@ Sekinatmi, I sent u a pm.... i'm d guy in Ulm

I guess you are the guy Eke referred to studying MSc Finance. I will pm you to seek advice on certain stuff.
Thanks.

Have you tried applying to hospitals in the North? Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital just did their interview yesterday.
My advice to you is this, check the MDCN approved hospitals for housemanship online, write out the ones in the North, check for their contact online, write your application letter and go to the nearest post office.
Can u imagine that less than 20 people usually apply to these places? Where I'm currently doing my housemanship only 7 of us came for interview....don't wait for the South or West. My 2 cents

Thank you for this advice. Unfortunately, security challenges in d country has made guys reject offers in the North. I did my housemanship 5yrs ago down south but what fresh medical graduates go through is shocking. Corruption simply worsen every year. We have to move for CHANGE and control our destiny.

Pleas pals, someone sent me an email and it came as Addax petroleum email address, and he is asking me to send some document in regards to an Addax job offer. However, one of his requirements is: [b]NEBOSH General Certificate. (National Examination Board of Occupational Safety & Health0 and unfortunately I don't have it. So he is asking me to send #15,000.00 for him so that he will help me to process it. Pleas, friends, anybody heard about this b/4.

SCAM ALERT!

tochimajesty:
All these are wonderful advices I can't get
from any where else

Wonderful pieces of advice u got on here.

From what I gathered from all statements, bro, move to the MFB, it will tickle your mind and open more doors.
I'm currently doing a tasking job with huge responsibility and it has been great cos I learn new skill every day with better opportunity to apply creativity.

Take the loan Officer job, challenge is part of life.

Evathyst:
ur response was very helpful. Tnx Bro!

Would tell her to use her hand to do herself. Lolz! Dt is, she should use her own hand to chose any of the above listed courses.


Once again, I'm grateful for your timely response.

If she is good at mathematics, let her know there is a new course - Financial Mathematics in school of science & tech.

sekinatmi:
I have searched and searched but the language of instruction for the ones I saw was german

That's true. I believe that English version would be available soon, say <3semesters from now. The MSc Finance in English was introduced not long ago, I gathered.

I wanted broad MSc Statistics (decision made last December ) and that had made me overlook Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in my search. Since you already have BSc in Statistics, MSc Biostatistics or that Finance degree is perfect. I could eventually settle for Biostatistics if no English version of Statistics is found by next year.

Please, notify me when you find something interesting.

sekinatmi:
I am a mother.

Interesting! I like your passion and dedication. I think we do have certain things in common.

sekinatmi:
I searched but I didn't find any. Other options are epidemiology,bioinformatics.but in case u find,I am interested

I saw MSc in Statistics but language of tuition is German. I'll still search hard.

It's nice to know you are a first class graduate of statistics and I'm very very impressed. Are u a guy or lady? I asked cos U talked about traveling with your children.

Eke40seven:
If you don't have a very very very strong background in core Mathematics or mathematically oriented Engineering course stay away from that Finance course in Ulms. Guys in that department are wailing..
Don't mean to scare you though, its really unlike me.
My two cowries!
P.S.
Your chances could be good and your sponsor earns pretty pretty good.

Eke, Please, can you help me with schools in Germany that offer MSc Statistics entirely in English?

h3ro:
Please oh i'm trying to download my course materials but cant find one particular one.., GST 807 ( THE GOOD STUDY GUIDE) what do i do?

or anyone who has it should please forward abeg.., abduls141@yahoo.com

thank you

Please, download GST107. It's the same material.

jorhney:
okay .. so u aint writing any POP this semester ?

Certainly, next semester.

oluatinuke:
Hmmmmm.......GST807...what about in the case of exam:47 and tma 28.5 and the person was graded an F.What can yoU say about that?tma 1: 7.5 tma 2: 10 tma 3: 10 tma 4: 8.5

Your score should be 55%, grade C
You've a case. Please, follow up on that. Which SC are you?

Having seen all my results, my semester is officially started. It's time I paid d compulsory fee and courses registration.

jorhney:
what lvl are u in now bro?

Technically, I should be in 200L, but I am in 300L with 200L courses to do though.

pharmtex08:
Pls who among you wrote GST 807 the result was released and to my greatest surprise I was given F. The reason y I said I was given F is because that is not my score. From my e-exam I score 37 bcs I check my score after submitting the exam and my TMA I score 25.50 if added together it should be 62.50. With this I saw fail. Same happen to my friend to. Did anyone here have similar problem and wat is the wayout

Sadly, that's your result. This is the calculation: 37/120 * 70 = 21.5 + TMA best 3 (25.5) = 47% which is F for PG students. Minimum pass score is 50 which is C. Anything short of C is FAIL for Master courses. 40 is E for Undergraduate students.

The scoring algorithm for GOODSTUDY GUIDE was generally poor. I managed to score C.

princejude:
Pricelessmr I still remember. I am still waiting for you to send your design so that I will start the pcb fabrication.

Ok.

princejude:
Prototyping is better done with vero board or local etching because the cost of one board for standard PCB may not be less than the cost of 3 boards.

That's true. Local pcb is d solution. If the design is well tested and ready for large production, then you outsource to China.

Princejude we have unfinished business if u remember

Part2 of German visa thread shows the progress made thus far. Happy New Year Everybody.

SENESCO:
If I applied in a conventional uni I wud av gone 4 economics coz I av NCE in accountin already so I wud lik 2 av knowledge of d 2 fields. Nt dat I dnt av passion 4 accountin, bt I was told dat wit my bsc in economics I can stil write professional exams in accountin n become a chartered accountant. Pls ur advice is urgently needed.

You have answered your own question. Economics will avail you the opportunity of interdisciplinarity. ACCA or ICAN qualifies you as a chartered accountant irrespective of you first degree, therefore, it's wise to unlimit yourself especially in your undergraduate degree.

My n9 techno pad won't take in apps I try to download. It keeps saying" insufficient space on device" but I checked storage and I can see there is space. What do I do please?

I've similar issue with my N9 tab. A solution on how to resolve this will be of great help.

wip7:
Okay Jatropha is a good source cos is rugged and oil content within the seeds is high compared to the rapeseed normally used in Europe. Since its a ranch, if you guys have cattle there, then they don't need to buy alcohol (methanol) as solvent for the biodiesel production, they can produce from the animal dung. Also, the Glycerin obtain after biofuel production is also of high commercial value.

This interaction is getting more practically oriented. I'm actually interested in Renewable Energy (Hydrogen generation from water, utilized in electricity generation, biodesiel, any accessible renewable sources for electricity) .

Wip7, you have contributed greatly to this thread. Thank you.

Hope you won't mind if I pm you for some personal advice?
