Thks for d answer. If cape town is so far I would ratner stay in petoria. Someone said d study permit has being suspended till November is dat. True?. This my own case, I got admission to unisa for my Phd in information system in 2014, registered, went through d research proposal module d result came out dis year which I passed and register for dis year 2015 . Now I ve to see my supervisor to fine turn some practical part of my thesis. Can I apply for study permit now. Thks
Stop listening to hearsay and apply for your study permit immediately .Lagos embassy processing time two weeks while Abuja takes 6weeks to 7weeks .Interestingly your supervisor is in Pretoria and you want to go Capetown?Capetown to Pretoria is about 18hours by road .Pretoria is very nice city you will definitely enjoy the place .

comparing what Abia state receives to what Akwa ibom state receives as allocations is like comparing UK to Ghana.
The l allocation Abia state received from 1999 _2015 what did the two governors(The Orjis) do with the money?oh you mean the money is small ,the small they collected what did they do with it?We need to be sincere with our analysis .

My stake on this matter is, what will Akwa Ibom benefit by Aligning with the Biafran's? Remember Akwa Ibom Decides whether Cross River is to join or not huh
If Akwa Ibom chooses to join Biafra will Cross River answer another country's name in another countryhuh ?
I've been told when Biafran soldiers took over Uyo there hurriedly change Ikot Ekpene road to an Igbotic name huh Does that mean if we join forces with them we've automatically erased our 1. History 2. Personality and 3. Culturehuh huh huh ?
When Biafran's soldiers entered Ibiono Ibom, they raped wife's, sisters, mothers, even killed peoples goat and merry. huh Supposed people you want to create a country withhuh

Thank God!
Ibiono people being wise and crafty led Federal troops across the River were Arochukwu was captured.

So now what does Akwa Ibom stand to gain from forming formidable Alliance with South East aka People's Republic of Biafra?
NIce and intelligent write up ...Akwa ibom will never never never join Biafra .With the federal allocation states in Southeast collected what development have they implemented?A lot of noises on forming a government of Biafra but no economic plans in most of these states If you have been to Abia state you will be wondering what is happening to monthly allocations!Akwa Ibom is moving forward not backward !

Zuma that caused that xenophobia? This is an insult to nigeria, this is the first mistake of buhari, is buhari trying to tell us that he supports the killings in south africa, he suppose to ban zuma for 10 years, and pay for damages caused by zuma.

Buhari must act fast by questioning zuma about the killings in south africa. If not we would start by calling him clueless.

Each country adopts a specific approach to their Doctorate programmes based on their long term vision for research and development. I don't think any approach is absolute or tested as the best. Yes, peer-reviewed journals are very important in acquiring a PhD degree. I wrote three journals towards completing my PhD anyway.
correct ! You nailed it "Every country adopts specific approach.......no approach is absolute or tested as the best"

Don't be deceived, peer reviewed journal articles are not a piece of cake, even renowned scholars get rejections sometimes; there is no guarantee that your research work will be published on first attempt. I am speaking authoritatively. In the US and other places like Turkey it is mandatory to:
1. Complete 21 units of course work (7 courses)
2. Pass a qualifying exam
3. Publish a quality article with journal indexed in ISI
4. Write and defend PhD thesis
Those are the requirements for graduation. After completing all those steps it is difficult to say one has not done quality research and learnt extensively.
No one is been deceived here .I am not a novice in the subject matter .Peer reviewed journals are not for Ghost or spirit it is human being research that is been accepted .You can't have all research accepted every time .There is time for rejection and acceptance .So indirectly schools that don't do coursework are not producing good PhD?

Why do they overstay from the 1st place, its gonna be tough for them
The following are the main reasons for over stay in SA. 1.Ignorance. Many immigrants are ignorant of immigration law and ignorant is no excuse in the court of law. 2.Dubious immigration agent .Most people came with intention to legalize but they fell to the prey of fake immigration agent .Most of these agents are from the countries of these immigrants not SA citizens.3.Some immigrants have no documents for the permits they apply for . 4. SA home affairs .Most illegal or overstay immigrants submitted application and for 4years the permit was pending while they register business name,pay taxes and got money from various places in their home land to run these businesses. After 4years some 5years in the midst of Xenophobia violence the home affairs started by releasing the outcome of 5 to 4years applications and most were outright rejection . Why the permits delayed so long? Now you want them to abandon their businesses and properties after 5years to 6years ?It is easy to say illegal immigrant be deported but most times we failed to find out why and how they became illegal, but I keep wondering why permit application can take so long even up to 5years . Why is SA home affairs deliberately delaying people permit? If someone apply for permit within a month decide the outcome and advise the person to leave if the application is rejected not after 5years or more . I know a Nigerian student who apply for study permit renewal October in SA application is still pending whereas his friend apply in Lagos and got it within two weeks To have permit pending is demoralizing the person can't go out of the country ,no access to banking talkless of overstaying .it is better to go home than overstay and be in perpetual bondage ..DONT OVERSTAY

Yes there is the thing called a poor PhD where the candidate learns almost nothing about research, teaching or mentoring younger researchers. Such a PhD can be viewed as a glorified MSc just with a different title. Lots of schools award such degrees because it makes their records look good.

To throw more light on the issue of publication, having an internationally peer reviewed journal article (not conference) published is not a piece of cake. In the US and some other parts of the world where course work and qualification exam among others, are part of the requirements for graduation; it would be extremely tough to obtain a PhD within two years. PhD + MSc combined programmes exist but even those take 4-6 years to complete.

Again, only an exceptional genius can obtain a good PhD within two years.
Publication in international journal is only difficult when you are in Nigeria but if you are in Overseas your supervisor will be a link to publish in reputable journals Infact many reputable journals are available for PhD students to showcase their research.Is it necessary for PhD student to write coursework again after completing coursework in Msc ?or is that a parameter to say a PhD is good?"A lot of schools award such"Please can you mention some of the schools so that members of this forum can avoid them
