InvestmentRe: What Incentives Does A Landlord Enjoy For The Set-up Of Glo Mast On His Propert? by ProEnergy(op): 5:05pm On Aug 04, 2018
750k after every 5yrs
sunbilor:
No incentives whatsoever attached. What do you mean by your uncle being paid titbit? Also, do you mean your uncle is paid 750k every 5 years or 750k every year?

Their was no agreement that the company could sublet the property.

AGREEMENT IS AGREEMENT.

That is the simple and painful truth!
InvestmentWhat Incentives Does A Landlord Enjoy For The Set-up Of Glo Mast On His Propert? by ProEnergy(op): 7:07am On Aug 02, 2018
In 2008, a company leased a certain portion of land from my uncle for a fee of 750k paid every 5yrs for 15yrs. The company later leased the property to glo for a substantial amount way bigger than they paid my uncle, for the establishment of a mast. For 10yrs my uncle has been paid titbits from the actual amount he was supposed to be paid and he enjoys no incentive whatsoever from glo.
My family has decided to truncate d deal with d company and demand that either glo establishes a new contract with my uncle or they remove their mast from the land.
We need advice from experienced people as regards this situation. Thanks.

EducationRe: Horrifically Sad Historical Photos That Completely Shook The World by ProEnergy: 4:33pm On Feb 07, 2018
blacks were and have being more spiritually advanced than the whites. we had fought wars and conquered nations thousands of years before the nascent of white civilization. war and hegemony brings nothing but destruction to this dear home called earth, this the blacks discoverred and evolved. thing is the black man had beaten his sword into a plowshare years before the whiteman understood what war is. we evolved above warring, above bothering for what to eat, above hegemony and class—we had understood the superflous providence of nature and the divine law of balance. the white has always being on our trail and they know it. indeed we are light years ahead
AmuEwu:
If blacks where already everywhere across the world like you claim, and had ships thousands of years before the Caucasians, I expect that they should have been a little more advanced. I expect that they should also have been able to defend themselves with these things and it should not have been easy for the Europeans to come into their lands and conquer them. Not only conquer them, but also go to their '' brothers '' lands as well and conquer them also.

Please explain to me how the Europeans whereas able to trump up blacks that where light years ahead of them according to your theory

Whao.
I would do my best to answer your question but I can't cover all bases in one post. One thing all prospective students should have in mind is that a good, or even great, GRE score is not enough by itself to secure admission and funding from a good school. Other parts of the application such as GPA, SOP, research experience also play important roles. I would add unequivocally that an important aspect of the application that is often overlooked(especially in this part of the world) is the recommendation letters. A glowing recommendation letter can be a difference between an acceptance and a rejection. It is a n opportunity for admission committee to gain insight into some of the applicants traits that might otherwise not show up in other parts of the application.


That being said, A great GRE score significantly improves the chances of admission. On why I was accepted late in the admission cycle, It was due to a number of reasons.

First, I didn't start and submit my applications early enough. I only decided to apply around November and could not get an early GRE date so I was forced to write in January. By then the application for most schools had closed.

Secondly, When I started the application process, I didn't know much about PhD in the US and frankly was not interested in US. I was looking at Canada, Germany and some other countries. But as I was preparing to write the GRE to boost my chances in the other countries I started reading about US admission from this thread and the students visa thread. So, I resolved to submit application to a couple of US schools since I meet the minimum requirements for admission. Consequently, I only applied initially to two(2) US schools, LSU Health Science Center New Orleans (which I regarded as a safe school but I was rejected) and University of Houston (Don't have a decision from them application still under review!!! Can you imagine?).

Therefore, I wouldn't really say my decision was late because it took University of Texas about 6 weeks to accept me after scrambling to submit my application on the deadline due to the reticence of my referees to submit recommendation on time. And I believe my GRE and GPA played a great role in getting me accepted. I say this because the Graduate coordinator requested for another recommendation letter after the initial committee review of my application because he said the original three didn't say much about my research skills( An euphemism for they are useless). At that moment I knew I had a good chance if I submit a sparkling LOR, and lo and behold I was accepted when I got another referee to submit a letter I helped him to draft. (It still took two weeks to get him to acquiesce to my request).

I believe you and other prospective applicants can glean some knowledge from my story. But, I think it is worth listing some of the lessons I learnt.

1. Apply early before the deadline and Spread your risk. Apply to at least 6 schools containing a mixture of reach and safe schools.

2. Before you apply to a school know how the admission process in the school works. LSU probably rejected me because I am out of state, it was later I read complaints from other Americans. I didn't have any business applying there I the first place( I am talking especially about the health Science Center). My application to U of Houston was doomed when I couldn't secure a faculty support because it is Professors there that admit PhD student to their labs in the Department of Biochemistry.

3. Don't overlook any part of your application. A great GRE score and GPA are nice, but it may be your SOP and letters that clich the admit.

4. Work on your letters with your referees. A letter from a Dr. might be better than that of a Professor if the said Dr. writes a personal letter filled with anecdotes that shows he/she know you well and hold you in high esteem. (Your recommenders need to only write one letter each and just personalise by changing the name for each school). Also, Institutional email address gives more credibility compared to yahoo or Gmail accounts.

5. Start a draft of your SOP as soon as possible and let a number of people review it. The final version would be significantly different from the version you start with in most cases.

6. Like I have said before, the work that goes into securing admission and full funding is usually understated. However, the good thing is that it is a process with numerous steps and all applicants should take it one step at a time.

7. Last but not the least, Pray for favour, Grace and guidance.

I would add more tips as I remember them.

NB; At the risk of being pedantic, I would like to say that GRE verbal is more than learning vocabulary, it is the contextual meaning of the words in sentences that is being tested. It is always good to heed the advice I read somewhere "Write to express not to impress" in order not to come across as ostentatious.
i just must have a dictionary at arms length whenever I'm on this thread grin uncle time2smile can i please, have you review my SOP? please?

hello.

I've sought for advice countless times on this channel with no response from anyone. notwithstanding I commend the good work done here by a lot of people, i mean this thread has helped me design a long term goal for myself prior to which the future seemed bleak.

I dont feel good in my skin as regards the standard of education I've had in nigeria and that is why i swore to go the way of sirRiddy et al ever since i stumbled on this thread. However, i have self-confidence issues as per applying for a masters degree program in the U.S due to the not-too-good grade i had in my 1st degree, 3.05/5.00, more-still i envisage a well funded program which i doubt this profile would get me. to augment for this lapse, i have applied for an m.sc program in nigeria hoping I'd culminate my academic pursuit in the U.S for a Ph.D. Meanwhile, i am a 28yr old graduate of chemical/petrochemical engineering.

I just want to know if this is the best move i can make with the grade i have.
