It seems the majority consensus is the r/ship was and is a dead end. So I've let it go and am working on forgetting him.

hmm

[Masters-Student-Wins-Top-Honour-at-SA-Mathematical-Society-Congress__]
Maths boffin Ms Titilayo Agbaje.

UKZN Masters student in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (SMSCS), Ms Titilayo Agbaje, won first prize in the Masters presentations category at the 57th Annual Congress of the South African Mathematical Society (SAMS) on the Unisa Science Campus in Roodepoort, Gauteng.

Agbaje, who is completing her Masters degree in Mathematics under the supervision of Professor Sandile Motsa, presented on a chapter of her Master’s dissertation, namely, the Chebyshev spectral perturbation approach for unsteady heat and mass transfer by MHD mixed convection flow over an impulsively stretched vertical surface with chemical reaction effect.

She said she was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic response she received for her presentation at SAMS. Delegates were intrigued by her topic and impressed at the sincerity and confidence which she displayed in the pursuit of her work.

‘Being a woman in a male-dominated discipline and taking the first position at a Congress like this proves that women can not only make it in a male-dominated discipline, but excel,’ said Agbaje.

Attending the Congress, said Agbaje, allowed her the opportunity to meet mathematicians working in numerous aspects of the discipline and enabled her to learn from others, something which she believes will greatly impact her future research.

Despite her current success, Agbaje admits that mathematics was actually her second choice, and a subject she found challenging during her undergraduate years at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in Nigeria. During the course of her studies, however, Agbaje’s interest in mathematics began to grow as she realised its vital importance in relation to all other subjects and saw its applications in real life.

‘I see mathematics as the mother of all subjects,’ said Agbaje. ‘In addition, mathematics is an important contributor to society because there are lot of elements of Mathematics, most especially in my area, applied mathematics, which can be used everywhere in daily life. For example, the chemical effect I considered in this particular SAMS presentation is applicable in crude-oil production, cooling and crystallisation of chemical materials, grain separation in farming, uranium production, drying technology and much more.’

Agbaje, who arrived at UKZN in 2013 to begin her Master’s degree, said the research facilities and infrastructure the University provided to assist students with the completion of their research had made all the difference.

She hopes to continue her research to the level of a PhD in applied mathematics and said she could see herself becoming a professor in the subject.

Agbaje said major factors in her success were her strong faith in God and the financial support and encouragement of her parents. She also thanked her fiancé, sisters and cousin for their support, understanding and encouragement during the challenging task of completing her dissertation.

She said the support of her supervisor, Professor Motsa, proved invaluable in her success. ‘I will always be indebted to him for introducing me to new numerical methods of solving complex nonlinear boundary value problems and thereby inspiring my interest in the area of Applied Mathematics and shaping my future,’ said Agbaje.congrats....proudly Nigerian product.

Dean and Head of School, Professor Kesh Govinder, said Agbaje and Motsa had ensured the continuation of UKZN’s long standing tradition of winning awards at SAMS!

Oh yes, I guess I was bin worried for nothing, I just checked wen u asked, d initial 3 months is 11.2 visa according to wat he sent. Just saw that now.

I did a Google on it, 11.2 is a visit visa with permission to work, so I guess they r on track and I was d ignorant one over d issue

They shld be sending everything this week, I guess I don't v much to do but wat do u advice, my yellow fever is 3 years old, wat other bottlenecks shld I expect and how do I tackle it, also how long will it take and where do u advice I apply lag or abj?

Thanks for ur time once again.

.apply anywhere with the right documents. I prefer Lagos based on my personal reasons .Your yellow fever has expired and too old Get the new card.

larion:
Thanks boss....I didn't say its me oooo....lol.

Anyway yes, the company is applying for the work permit, they said dey will apply for 3months first then upon extension of the contract, they will apply for 4years ICT work permit.......

However my concerns and reservation :

1) Will one be able to work legally with this initial 3months visa, don't wanna get there and start hearing stories of "you can't work with this visa", "you need proper permit" cos I learnt they r very hostile to Nigerians.
In light of this, is there anoda type of work permit that cld b used for this short term apart from the scarce skill work permit (which I guess might take a while to process)? From their website, I see nothing.

2) like u said, the company is truly working that (permit n others) all out but its a UK recruiting agency they might just do the basic things. How do I mean,? The initial three months visa might be good for an Indian or Philippine to start work, but with d bad tag on Nigerians, they might want sometin more concrete, if u get wat I mean. So while they r doing theirs (the recruiting firm), m trying to do mine, just to get it right, as I will be resigning here to start there (don't wanna b on a long tin) Besides one of d ladies in d recruiting firm told me to start my visa process early cos Nigerians have the problem of visa each time they recruit them (so sad we've got a bad name).

Also the question of where to apply, lag or abj? Which is faster.....thanks for your time

what will be the status of the 3months visa? Work or visitor visa ?

Did he propose marriage ?

@poster! Most problems married couple especially women faced in marriage are problems they ignored doing the period of dating .IF at 34 he doesn't rent apartment and said he has plans and you are not aware of those plans am afraid you need to pray and watch very careful ! Question for you madam,1.has he proposed marriage ? 2.when did your bf or fiance says the wedding will take place3.do you think a man that spat on a woman publicly won't beat you up doing his moment of 5mins madness 4.are you ready to tolerate his weaknesses all the days of your life ? 5.Next year he will be 35years and in 2014 he didnt rent apartment when will he get his apartment .NOTE.Every man has weakness which a woman must be ready to tolerate ,no perfect man But the weakness of a man making him to spat on someone in the public is somehow scaring to me ! Cheers

Hello house, please help with d following info.

For someone who got a contract job in SA which visa is recommended.....all I see is visa, nothing about work permit for short term job say 3 months, then also the scarce skill permit. Will normal visitors visa be okay?

Also, after deciding on the visa, how long will it take to obtain, plus where is me it advicable to apply, Lagos or abuja? Learnt one is faster than the other.

you got a job in SA ? Apply for work permit with the assitance of the company the permit will be issued ! Discuss with the conmpany that offered you job they understand immigration laws! Cheers

tygaweezy:
Ok,I've been dating this gal for 3years now nd its been going great ,she is the kinda person that really understands me and would never do anytin 2 hurt me , when I had problem with my business and dint know who to turn to , she stood by me and gave me support in which Eva way I needed it and yeah the sex was awesome too.
But here's the problem,I don't think I really love this girl and I don't wana sound like an asshole but its true,I tink I fell for her because of her awesome personality not because I really loved her, so few months back I took her out on a date and told her that I don't tink our relationship is gona work anymore,and yeah she cried and pleaded cos she has done nothing wrong , I felt bad but I can't just kip saying "I love you" to some1 I don't really love. Finally she accepted the breakup but each time she visits or I visit we do have sex "unprotected".
The last sex we had was three weeks ago and I knew I ejaculated inside of her and told her about it,she said don't worry that she was gona take care of it ,which I guess she Neva did because a day before yesterday she called my phone and asked if we could meet , we did and she told me that she is 3weeks pregnant . Am totally confused because I don't tink am up for that kinda responsibility, out of frustration I told her to abort it but she got really upset and said she won't .
Mehn , shit jux got real for me , I need advice ya'all please!

"you dated her for 3years and you don't think you love her"....ah that is wickedness and u enjoyed the sex for 3years and u want to run away ?Please don't try it

KLEINBASS:
Lets be honest, nigerians(most not all) are dodgy with everythng they do(from pirating CDs, drugs, fake IDS/passport/drivers license/work-permit, damaging properties,bribing every where, the list can be endless. you jus cant trust nigerians including those fake doctors). at our company we have written policy that we dnt hire nigerians even wher i stay nigerians tenants are not allowed.sorry guys but thats jus who you are. in one scenario my frnd once rented a room to a nigerian the next thing he is moving in with 5 of his frnds in a room that can accommodated
only two, when they told him he cant do that he started screaming xenophobia. nigerians are anti clean/law-abiding south africa is a decent country .you can come take there wifes but please jus be decent

don't start what you can't finish !

manikky:
still awaiting response pls..

The situation is complex but not complicated.He has different options 1.Let him inform the school that he has submitted application for study permit and appeal for related courses to be given 2.find out from those two schools if he can register with study permit from the ist school,while applying for change of status?(Some schools accept )

God bless u my blooooda


#TeamProudlyNigeria

Btw, wht do u av to say to defend SA

defend SA ? Na debate or football match? You have to decide what you want in life . They told you both countries are useless you swallow and digested it ! Have you asked yourself question if SA is useless has they said earlier on why do we have influx of European,chinese and Africans for business,education and tourism?why do we have significant number of British Canadians,Europeans and Chineses studying,working and doing businesses in SA ?wake up from your slumber for the fact a country has challenge doesn't make her useless ! Check the word "useless" and you will see the lacuna and confirm they are already misleading you because seems you don't know what you want in life .someone quoting from a thread concerning immigration stiffness does that make a country useless? Are people not turned back @US and UK point of entry ?oh they are killing people in SA are people not killed in the US everyday? I was expecting an intellectual discourse here but I saw intellectual ignorance in full glare . Indeed ignorance has place many adults in a precarious situation ! Out of this thread ! TIME IS MONEY

jennykadry: So what are you doing in SA? Since you love NIGERIA die please air return to your county and become the patriotic nigerian you claim to be . BTW I enjoyed reading this post of yours in the SA section."What are you doing in SA?

since you have time to be stalking left and right u can start investigating what am doing in SA and at the end of the day nairaland will give you a trophy .@OP if you are waiting for public opinion before you decide your destiny then you are still far from success in lIfe. Internet has made the world a global village google and research very well you will discover that those two countries are not bad as painted in the media .Someone visited china next thing she says "china is a useless country "and you take that person serious?

suxes2005:
I love to TRAVEL. I just love to visit places - not war areas ooo

Tho' SA is useless, BUT the Ethiopian ladies there. Oh my damn ......

I'll visit China next year. Got an idea for a product and plan
to use a crowd funding source for it.

Japan that looks like a better option won't give Nigerians
visa easily.

And I careless what anyone says, Nigeria is the most
useless country in the world

Shebi SA still have white people? Chinese are white,
nah only 'afin' we get here so nobody thinks right in
the helms of affiar! I so much hate that country.

I hate Nigeria and I mean it.

BTW, how's the turkey soup going?

~ Sheyi

congrats for hating Nigeria but I LOVE NIGERIA !

jhydebaba:
hello house, I have a brother who intend traveling to South Africa. he needs more than 3 months visa that is he is intending staying there for a longer period.

I will appreciate if anyone can educate me on this or quote a relevant post related to this. I am just lazy to go through all the thread.

thanks

conquer your laziness

jennykadry:
Contrary to what you might think dearie....I have visited that country china three times this year so far and I repeat.....to be there permanently, your luck lies on a Chinese woman so you can argue as many times as you like, some of us know how things work there.

How many black people set carry their passport without any ties to a Chinese woman ?

Worst part sef is their permanent papers na only temporary for as log as you are married to their women. If she says Nope....VISA cancelled and it's bon voyage back to NIGERIA

No black man succeed in China without a support from a woman?that is false .oh Black men succeed only where you are based?I get the message now

jennykadry:
Because both countries are useless. Just like Nigeria

FALSE ! China useless like Nigeria? Fallacy

CEtoO:
Both of them are my friend. I've tried to talk them both into making up but they don't want to. D lady said she can't believe his response and that she will never call until he calls and apologise. D guy told me he's still very much in love with her but he can only call if she calls or sends him a message. In fact I don tire sef because both of them are very sturbbon

They are babies in love .

coldsummer:
Hey I'm trying to apply for a visit visa to SA and a friend told me that SA embassy in Lagos is currently issuing only 1 month visa because of Ebola. Can anyone confirm this please?

.Visit the. Visa office @Ikeja to confirm .

Goke7:
if the guys scores a brace in the next game, will you still come back here with this kind of post?

Musa is a good player no doubt but most times he lack football sense ,he has d speed but not intelligent doing counter attacks,weather he scores hatrick or brace he will be good he comes in doing the 2nd half when the opponents are tired and worn out

Dating your staff is an invitation to business failure

GreenBobo:
He declined shaking hands with the assistant coach when he was substituted! I like him because he pours out his heart when he plays for the S.E's. I believe that he's a dedicated player and all that... He's just out-of-form.... I hope he'd start scoring goals pretty soon!

I watched the match again today and I saw Emenike arrogancy and insult to Keshi using his hand to pass the message "if you not okay with my style of play don't complain you can substitute me " I was very happy Keshi removed him ,these days the guy is out of form let him sit on the bench .The guy that replaced him did very well and even scored a goal .

chemenger:
Good day everybody,
Its going to two months I have applied for Saqa now. my result was to be released on 27th of October before I received a suspension email from saqa. The reason being that further information is being sought for the confirmation of my certificate. On seeing the email I went to my school to find out what's happening but I was told they've not any email from saqa and was given the email address to give to saqa which I did since but no response till now.
House please kindly assist with any info that maybe of help. Someone in SA even went there and was told the same thing as I have in my email. Please what can I do again, what's the correct saqa email I send such complain to. Just help as I don't know what to do anymore.
Thank u.

Sir applying for another transcript is waste of time and money.let your contact person in SA visit saqa and ask for the date and where saqa sent email to (registrar office or deputy registrar or record office) and request saqa to resend the email in his presence .
