YES, I'm interested

Just putting the future into pesperctive, I'd really love to hear views from experienced and informed people on the best UK university for an LLM in Maritime Law. I heard Swansea University and University of Southampton have very dynamic Maritime Law departments...how true is this and how recognised are these schools certificates in the Nigerian Legal market? Also is it accurate to say that top notch Unis like Oxford, KCL, QCL, Cambridge and co might be highly ranked but are not necessarily the best place for a seasoned LLM in Maritime Law? Lawyers, Law students and students of other disciplines who are currently studying or have studied abroad, and/or have specific info, please comment.

Kindly drop informed opinions! Thanx

Its REAL! I got 50K bursary last year as well, coz I'm a law student. Applying 4 250K merit award later this year....There are lots of opportunities for Nigerian youths, Information is Power! Don't just sit in ur bedroom and conclude that every scheme is fake...Though fake one's exist, don't let that rob u of ur rights.

Loool! Saburi has finally graduated!

I can understand ur shock...loool!

I can't blame u and ur wife for ur conservative lifestyle, because everyone can't be outgoing and extroverted. However, u need to understand that the world is evolving VERY FAST. I have a six year old brother that asked me what abortion means only a few months ago!

You can't also condemn her teacher for using her phone in front of her students, if you do that u'l have to condemn urself for using ur phone at work too despite the fact that you don't use a bb.

As for your daughter, u can tell her things like her aunt has studied hard and worked for her money, and so she can afford to use a bb. Try to make her understand that she's not ripe for it yet. Exposure is a very good thing but it can be used either positively or negatively. Give ur kids exposure by urself, so that they don't have to learn everything from the society and learn it wrongly! I hope this helps

This is good news congrats to those that have confirmed selection! Any info for OAU students pls?

Kh001: @all. pls do not, i repeat do not apply. dis people ar bloody scammers.

@purplish. i wil soon post a thread on nigeria award. sorry for keepin u waiting. u can also mail me on

dmainman@yahoo.com

Wow! Thanks for the info....May God help Nigeria! Thanks once again.

Hi! Thanks for the info! I've sent the mail, but I'd like to have more details about the scholarship, like who Chief Egbegohon is, and when the successful applicants would be contacted. Thanks once again!

Pls go to the hospital and inquire...DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY! Scholarships are meant to be 100% free!

For me, in cases where the recepient of ur cv doesn't specify(which is rare),I'd say send it in MS WORD...coz its the most widely accepted document format. I don't think its a "rare thing" not to find adobe/pdf reader on a computer...meanwhile almost every gadget can access word files.

I know u have to get a scratch card at ministry of education/scholarship board....but I dunno if its still on sale.

olakintanj: Please, how do one apply for Lagos Local Scholarship?
A friend of my bought the scratch card but he tried to register, but to his amazement, when he was done with the registration, it was as if he just registered for Lagos Bursary.
I will really appreciate anyone who can be of help to give the necessary information on how to carry out the registration process

Hi! Have u been able to apply?

Pls dyu knw d criteria for selection? I'm scared that I made too many silly errors in d exam...

DMainMan: Ilorin centre is federal government girls college, Ilorin along waec office. Also just print the form you filled online. They won't send anything in mail. @librankys. It was June last year but d exam was done by March. Based on that, it could be late June or early July

I studied Islamic law a.k.a shariah law as a 3rd year law student...and its really not as bad as pple (especially fellow christians) make it appear.
The advantages are MANY! As regards Islamic banking and business laws, shariah law forbids the charging of interest on any loan or the addition of excess profit in business. This helps the society to be fair and just, and lessens d chances of d rich getting richer at the pauper's expense.
Secondly, in sale of goods, Shariah law also prevents the sale of unwholesome or forbidden goods. For example, any transaction involving d illegal sale of weapons, pornographic materials, and animals forbidden in islam is voided by the shariah court.
Again, shariah law equally consists of sayings of the prophet mohammed, which are really just and fair as well as morally formidable. Nevertheless, it is natural that all things have disadvantages, and d particular area I find bankrupt in shariah law is the shariah/islamic criminal law. Personally, I believe its REALLY strict, but do not forget that this is also a means to deter criminals in a sane society. I hope this helps!

Loool! Its Kogi state...I didn't get it right sha

bzeey: part of d question asked: where is geregu power plant located

We r following ur footsteps Olsey

Olsey:
Very impressed with you guys and the updates. Thanks.

Hey guys...what department are u in? which session's result are u also tendering for the scholarship, coz last session's result is not fully out.

ayodinho91: pls let see each other. I'm also in ife(oau) my number 070649921261. Give me a call or a text.

This is really important...for all those writing in Osun state - Oshogbo, I took the pains to visit the OAU Guidance and Counseling Unit and i was duly informed that the venue of the exam is ATAOJA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE, OSHOGBO. Please inform others. Wish u all the best!

Exactly my point! Everybody is just jumping into hasty conclusions! Relax!

I see a lot of pple are beefing my prestigious school...loool! calm down! we are 14th in Africa and 1st in Nigeria for very good and obvious reasons.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.My candid advice is that u stay in Uniport and complete your pharmacy. I'm an OAU student dear...if u come to OAU with the mindset that passion for engineering and hardwork would guarantee ur success, u just might be disappointed. I dont want u to bite ur fingers at d end of d day! pls sit in uniport and complete pharmacy. I wish u all d best.

I still refuse to believe its a scam...my honest opinion though, nobody is obligated to agree with me.

BayoAA:
Give it a try, You have nothin to loose. The fact is that at the pre-qualification form you will be required to input your SSCE result and details, if your input does does not meet their requirement then you will be bounced. So it is either you input 2010 as your ssce date or else......I am afraid!!
Good luck!!!

Thanks. I'd rather not apply than falsify any info...God bless you

Hi bayo, good job ure doing on here ....pls i want to apply for the undergraduate scholarship, but my waec result is about 5yrs old...are they very strict about d '3 yr old' waec result requirement? thanx

Mynd_44: I have been searching for one for a long time. I need someone to put my overbearing arrogance in check

*raises hand*

boron10: @OP are you for real? Would you rather have a dullard who knows how to cook as wife? Please en, gone are those days when men marry women solely because of their domestic skills. This is 21st century for crying out loud. You are even very lucky to find a Nigerian babe who is able to combine beauty with brain. Cooking is a trait any nonentity can learn within a week. I bet, if you think she isn't good for you, men who are far better would take her from you and you would end up regretting. Always try inviting her to the kitchen whenever you feel like cooking. Drop your ego i beg. A word is enough

Spot on!!!!

No news yet...let's keep keeping our fingers crossed

Me too oh! But we have to be really patient...just like julius explained, they wud have to contact our various schools to confirm our GPs and that would definitely take time.

There's no cause for alarm guys...the site says that they had some virus issues by a file uploaded by an applicant or administrator. They r updating d site now and they said the exam has been shifted 2 a date dat wud be announced later...wud definitely keep u posted

@Adefemi julius...Thanx for enlightening us. We'l keep our fingers crossed.

I also applied....here is the number of the Nigerian office- 08162323001. The man was very helpful during the course of my application but the number stopped being reachable about 3 weeks ago...please guys don't hesitate to share any info u have about the exam venue and date
