Ohh It's a sad world where parents can't close their eyes for two minutes or they risk having their dear kids, mauled by neighbors, siblings, pastors...everyone and anyone could be a prospective rapist. Ask how it happened now and you'd find that she was probably just enjoying time with friends, helping a neighbor, staying with an uncle, attending a church program, walking on the road..just basic living for crying out loud.

shobusag:
Wow, I am happy for you guys. At last saga's mumu paid off.
So Ladies and Gents, it's good to WISELY be yourself no matter others perception of you..

#Smiles....For some reason, this made me smile. I think there's more than enough evidence to this. I read the last time about a certain White Money that was cooking upandan like a mugu in the house and what not. Remember where that got him too. Alphas are for jungles, while mugus be balling.

Bad press. Is he a billionaire or a millionaire.? Decide already.

So basically every authority in Nigeria is sick then..

Pace yourself, don't rush. Use thick biro and cancel this UK you are thinking about. That's even an overused term right now in life. Go the US school route, PhD..get funded, show up, graduate and enter this tech or anything sef..even paper technology and blowwww.

Thank you kobojunkie for adding voice to that!

..and in a way that most people would readily accept it, as the truth it is.

Honestly, these tales are bogus. Igbo faux agberos, do not confidently carry out dastardly deeds like the originators of agberoism. I can only believe the one about taxing heavy baggage carriers in Keke and the facemask defaulters, during the pandemic.
But the others? Well, if they are true, I'd call them daylight robbers outrightly and not lump them with the regular Igbo agberos.

NUELUSA2023:
My simple advice, go for a school that requires application fees. If you can research properly on a school that has a high acceptance, requires application fees and there is availability of full funding.

Going for schools with application fee waivers might be counter productive due to competition (I may be totally wrong here)

You have a solid profile. Wish you all the best

You're not. Awoof de run belle for shizzle..

LeoGJB:
Also, you must chose English as your native language. Else they would require that you submit test of English scores.

Well, why would he choose otherwise, as a Nigerian?

Only me na 10000 of those views. Something fascinates me about the song and it's not even exactly the lyrics.

Faber:
Wetin him one talk, others dey campaign he dey suck Adesuwa breast and toto,...you no fit please woman 💯 and still achieve your goals as a man in this life..

Look at the likes of Obi, Nnamdi Kanu, Wike, Buhari, Tinubu etc, if them tell you how many nights these men no dey stay with their wives you go know say their wives are single moms..

To achieve great things, man must leave his comfort zone and enter street

Fact! With plenty faya

Chocychoco:
CGPA:3.99/5

Might not be awesome enough, but there's no hurt in trying the ivy leagues as some other person has suggested...A couple don't require the official transcripts for application. I know Stanford (not one of the ivy's, but up there) doesn't for sure.

She's pretty and absolutely dateable, regardless of affluence, I must admit.

Chocychoco:
Good morning guys... I applied for GSU early February and still waiting for their decision. I want to inquire for any other universities I can apply to without WES evaluation and opportunity to receive funding for MBA.

GRE SCORE: 336

Can you also volunteer your GPA info?

LilMissFavvy:
I thought they say that "men don't bear grudges"? Isn't this Chris supposed to forget this issue by now? Smith was already disqualified and punished in many ways by the movie industry, that was enough payback by the movie industry.

I knew that his "show of maturity" all this while's total hogwash and I honestly feel like he should be let to react or address the issue, exactly as he felt. Dude took a punch in front of the world, for crying out loud! The least he could do is what he is; verbally responding. And Will Smith will be so immature as to locate him to punch him again, because I'm certain that Chris would be more than willing to sue him then. It's not as though his jokes are not based on truths, that make Will Smith not want him to talk about them, same way that every other body has been.

Someone will coman say it's because the oga did not use to tip well nau.

Lol...very few people surprise me on this nairaland again.

The worst part is that you would be carrying a straight face to ask this kind of psychotic question.

samz77:
#10k to #15 k should be enough for transport. it shouldn't have reached that amount but money to cross the border is also inclusive and the destination you are going .let's say you want to stop in either Cotonou or capital city Porto nouvo. Porto nouvo is a farther than Cotonou. And this suggest a little increase in transport

I think they actually mean to say that it is cheap.

Typical oyinbo always thinking that Africa is hungry. Of all the things to look forward to working with us on, it is hunger crisis.

Archaic hogwash.

What's your source of internet? Will it be your phone? Find your local network codes to block those village people from calling you, during the interview.

Don't burn bridges over something so fleeting.

LFJ:
Unfortunately, these f.oo.ls never realize that Tinubu is not a candidate for any position.

Who is the f.oo.l now?

Indeed, there's no such thing as "just friends" between a boy and a girl...

Sisib15:
Okay. Thank you

America is America, forget that thing. People would even go to Alaska. Finish your program and if you don't like the place, relocate. Just enter first. For all you know, you might even enjoy the simplicity and low cost of living in the South.

Best!

Najdorf:
I have zero support from my family when it comes to southern schools lol. They dislike those southern states like anything.

I just applied there on my own volition. We'll see how it goes sha

Unless there's much more to what is holding you, I would say run with it. I will not ordinarily advice anyone to consciously choose to take on the intense programs at these big schools, when you'd end up coming out and be perceived as exactly the same in today's job market. I know one medical student at Yale right now, endlessly looking for a Public health internship as I know another at GSU, who's been asked to share postings with her friends. Just getting into an accredited program in the US, should be top priority.

BigIyanga:
Cos people stereotype the south as educationally disadvantaged .
MS regarded as a ‘3rd world’ state in the US in education but Naija folks dont care. Lol. US college degree is an equalizer…employers dont look at your school once you are qualified and capable of doing the job.

Indeed, Nigerians are right not to care, because the US employers don't care much either. Pull at your wigs and go crazy, trying to keep up with the academic pace of these big schools and in the end, the fortune 500 are camping at these disadvantaged schools and looking for diversity in their numbers.

RealMarv:
Thank you for your kind words. It is unfortunate that some people feel the need to be rude or sarcastic when responding to others' questions. It is possible to provide direct and honest responses while still being polite and showing empathy. I was also disappointed to see the condescending remarks made in response to the post about the TOEFL score of the poster's brother. Questions such as "How did he pass his WAEC, did he school in the village?" do not demonstrate empathy towards the poster and the situation. This behavior is more common in online forums where people can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that empathy and kindness are always in fashion, whether in person or online.

Abeg, psycho-analyze everything, but don't remind people again about that TOEFL matter. Ever written the TOEFL? Because that's the only way you can really speak to what people are opining. That score is a result of poor preparation, and it will be totally unkind of you to charge anybody here to empathize with such an attitude to the exam...speak less of rubbing the examinees' heads as your preferred strategy to lure them to success.

mantics:
This score no be am ooo for TOEFL. Your brother should not even submit the score at all. Also, the 2.7 is out of 4 or 5?

The funny part is that this score might have since reached the schools, based on free sending, from the exam hall..
It's just to pray that admissions will not be angry as to not even look at the other materials..

BigIyanga:
Not only Igbo and Yoruba movies. How did he pass English NECO/WAEC? How did he do his assignments, exams and project during his uni days?
I doubt if this person is mentally prepared to do MS in business-related fields.??

Ehnnnnn....hmnnnnnn
I laugh, but it really is not funny oo...heyyy...I'm scared for him...

Well, God will do it.
Unless, he wants to tell us that he had high fever on the day he went for the exams and his fingers were shaking, which made him unable to write. Then his ears were ringing.. which made him not to understand the oyinbo...

Zihno:
Even if he finds schools that will waive it for him, he should start attending English classes as this score is, for lack of a better term, shameful. Your brother cannot write or speak English. I’m certain he would be required to complete ESL classes if he is even admitted. 46 TOEFL score? Orishirishi.

Honestly, my chest is paining me. I don't know if he's not ready for America or it's America that's not ready for him. One is shaa not ready for the other

I hope our lightheartedness here, motivates that your bro to do better, bros...good luck to him abeg.

Najdorf:
No chill

I'm reminded of one guy that asked me about the GRE..Lol. Somehow, his mind completely erased the GRE I told him about and he returned a whole year later, to ask about the site to register for the TOEFL..When he discovered that we weren't on the same page at all, the dude started to rake for me oo..🤷
He said I was not clear on what exams he should have prepared for. I was just like---is this one even well at all? Who uses a whole year to prepare for the TOEFL?!!😂
