Ok, thought you are around Lagos, wanted to link you with someone, you can still do it alone sha.

Can I send you a message on WhatsApp?

Gptech:
You should, getting the official rom flashed will solve a whole lot, where do you reside?

Abuja

Gptech:
Should have at least mentioned your problem. Hmm,you are currently faced with two issues right now :
1. You bought a phone with just 16gig internal memory, and you can't move apps to memory cards anymore on Android, your phone naturally begins to lag when the free space you have is around 300mb but you even have less than 100mb left , your phone should superlag! You said you have deleted so many things, but how come you have such little space left? As a rule, try to always have about 1gig free space for your device to run smoothly. You can start by deleting junks like apks ( Go to 'Explorer or File manager', tap on apk and delete everything there, check my screenshot). Also delete some videos you don't need (whatspp videos inclusive). If you don't have a memory card, then all you pics and videos are eating up too much already, you have a 16gig device with around like 10gig available for use, don't forget that, its very limited, understand how to utilise it very well.
2. It's a pity, the rom you have installed in your phone is not official, that's the reason you have issues with your notification light, plus other issues you might not have discovered, it's unstable.

Thanks a lot.

I guess I have to dilligently visit the Xiaomi thread.

Gptech:
What's your rom version? I believe you bought from resellers here then, most sold with shop or unofficial roms which are usually unstable and don't receive updates. Screenshot your about phone, that's enough to tell the story of your disappointment.

I bought it from a reseller on Nairaland. I am following the thread on Nairaland but it is so hard to keep up with.

I use a Xiaomi Redmi 3s and I am very disappointed.

The phone hangs a lot and I have deleted almost everything on the phone. It seems like the proximity sensor on the phone doesn't work because anytime I make a phone the call gets muted because my ear touched it.

The worse is that the led notification lights don't work. It only works for charging.

The phone is barely a year and I just want to discard of it.

Am Jus stucked here in Egypt, How wld I go back to Naija...Are there no schools here in Egpyt one can apply to...where do I go from here...After telling my people am travelling.

This is sooo sad.

I will be travelling to Lome on Tuesday via Asky and I am not even looking forward to the trip. If I had my way I wouldn't go, but for work...

Please guys, how much is Egyptian Visa?

Godwithme01:
Register on the website with your email, then search for your flight, Look for the flight that says "Hold For Free" click on it, then it will ask you to use your number to get a code and insert, you will get the reservation on your email afterwards.

Thanks a lot for this. It worked on a computer, the problem is that I did not get any code after get to the stage of OTP.

mavinc4u:
You don't pay for both hotel and flight fare, you only reserve. Use yatra.com to reserve your flight and use booking.com to reserve for your hotel or hostel.

Please I have been trying to book for a flight through Yatra but I have not been able to see the place to book and pay later. Is there a better way or another website?

Thank you

Quick Question:

So I was informed by the school that they contacted their Embassy in Cairo and that I will get a visa after 48hours and that I will need to go through Egypt Route and from there go straight to Estonia.

My problem now is the Egyptian​ Embassy in Abuja, my problem is basic, how much is supposed to be in my account? I don't even have any money right now sef. Secondly, I was told to present travel itinerary, am I to book for my ticket and pay before visa application? How is that going to happen? Also, they asked for hotel bookings...

Thanks.

Suplexx:
Their government can instruct Belgian embassy to issue students visas since they already represent them in Nigeria.

That will be nice

uzhi:
The schools really have less power to initiate an embassy creation move. The country isn't big and education isn't one of their source of income. However, to open an embassy, there must be a good business that will affect their economy positively. And this has to be a motion made by their ministry of commerce.
Though we are third or fourth highest population of immigrant and it seems we are the most frustrated in terms of visa acquisition.
The solution on-site is to prepare how to get visa earlier before getting the admission eg. Applying fir egypt, turkey or india tourist visa even before one's interview with d schools.

This is not always the case. Embassies can be opened for various reasons and economic relations is not the priority. Nigeria have embassies in a lot of countries where we don't gain anything from, but because of politics and prestige. If it is about Economy, then that is where Consulates come in. Also, it is not possible for an Estonian Embassy to be opened in Nigeria soon, the only thing they might do is just to open a visa processing section, which is not possible. I am waiting to see the next line of action of the Estonian Government.

Suplexx:
They can only issue Tourist visa. I made enquiries last week via email. You find out if you can meet their requirement for a tourist visa. You can visit the embassy for proper info

I am just thinking aloud. Is it not possible to get Visa to Finland and when you get to Finland you apply for a Visa from the Estonian Embassy or get a Tourist Visa from Belgium to Estonia and when you get to Estonia, you go to Finland and apply for a Visa. At least it is just 2 hours by boat from Tallinn to Helsinki. How possible is it?

Godfavourme:
Pls what type of postgraduate? What's your qualification? Which sch?

It is not your conventional School. It is a training programme sponsored by the Estonian government. That's all I can say. B.Sc with work experience

Miles300:
for wat exactly ?

Postgraduate Diploma in Estonia. I have gotten a success mail already, i was asked to accept, after accepting I was informed that they will send a confirmation of acceptance to me

Miles300:
soon ooh I dey find flat mates , wen u dey enter Tallinn

How long does it take to get a confirmation of acceptance?

Hello please what the fare for Lagos and Abuja to Tallinn Estonia for 16 September, 2017 one way ticket. Also, if possible, the return ticket for 16 September 2017 to 31 May 2018. Thanks.

Guys, how much can one get a cheap flight to Tallinn from Lagos or Abuja in mid September?

meandyou3:
I dont think that Yali has invited anyone.... If there is anyone that has been invited let him or her say it now. Because the Yali forum on face book hasnt said anything about been invited by embassy anywhere in africa. Only Liberia got there embassy invite today.

You have been reading the wrong articles. I don't know which Facebook page you have been reading. Nigerians have been interviewed since the beginning of January. If you have not been contacted then there is a 99.9 Percent chance that you weren't selected. Don't rely on just Nairaland when it comes to scholarship and fellowships because most who get them are not even on Nairaland.

dossylvanus:
When did you receive the email message?

I checked a few minutes ago and saw the mail

holuwajobar:
My application wasnt successful

Same here

Tboy243:
Same here, I wonder who they are giving the scholarships anyway, if everyone is receiving regret mail.

They are plenty. A lot of people got success mails earlier. I wish them all the best. Getting a scholarship is not easy.

silentdude:
Regret mail just got in

same here

youngkerry:
Can a typographical error hinder someone's chances of getting a scholarship?. In my Edinburgh essay I made a mistake where I wrote: I wish to make the "word" a better place instead of "world"

Don't kill yourself for nothing. If you are not selected then it would be because of something else and not typographical error. It is only a matter of time before you know your fate. Besides no one here knows anything, we are all waiting and hoping for the best.

Vicrown:
Yes, I made it to the interview stage and passed the interview. I'm presently waiting for an offer from Oxford.

I would be happy if you get selected. At least you are one of us

Carmal90:
For feeding alone?? What about transportation??
Your 45k is just 1.5k per day,
Simply implies u have 900 left after eating,if u spend 300 naira Daily on tfare u have 600 naira left, u but call card 100 Naira u have 5h left, so in a month u save 15k without buying clothes,barb,watch ball, afford one yoghurt,pls awake d giant in you...u can work for yourself and earn much...but Shalom

Why do some Nigerians talk this? Must everything be about business? Not everyone can go into business.

The guy even tried. 600 naira for feeding in a day is very okay, especially in this economic recession.

The best thing he can do is to buy food stuffs and cook if he is able to cook

Vicrown:
Yes, I'm among the 10 AIG finalists. We are waiting for Oxford to reduce us to 5.

Nice one. Did not get beyond the interview stage.

Vicrown:
Me too , nothing spoil shaa! Time to pursue Commonwealth and AIG scholarship with full force

AIG? Were you selected after the interview in December?

Prudento:
Looks like none on Nairaland has made Edinburgh list

I don't think anyone has been selected based on the selection criteria for University of Edinburgh.

Dmasked1:
Sorry also got the invite, Glo network has been terrible

Congrats. That means you were right. Still hoping for the best.
