saucepan:
@ maziude, thank you. just used the WES service. it just showed me my degree equivalent not the grade equivalent.
Cheers.


ok, just got a link for the CGPA calculator but it needs grades from all courses as can be stated on a transcript. i dont have a transcript yet.

nevertheless, i am truly grateful @ Maziude at your quick response. any further advice will be most appreciated.

thank you all.

pls this is for Phd students with a Master's degree from anigerian university. pls what is the equivalent grade for a second class upper as requested by some canadian universities.
saw my result today with a 64.12% average despite being told it was the highest for that set, i have being very disturbed as i don't know if it meets up to the minimum requirement, on the other hand Phd cut off in Nigeria is 60%.
pls someone should reply as i am having so much mixed emotion.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

all those asking for part time jobs do you live in Nigeria at all. there are no jobs to go round able bodied young men who are ready to work18hrs a day if need be. so how easy can it be for a mum to find these part time jobs. being a stay at home mum doesn't mean you have to stay at home from morning to night. it simply means you are not regularly employed by another. your time is yours and you can adjust your time to suit your family's needs and engagement. i maintain a stay at home mum can be productive especially as soon as the kids start school which is mostly between 12 to 24 months for those of us in Nigeria. there are still Daycare centres you can have an arrangement with to cover up for the days you are fully engaged. some Daycare Centres can take hourly or daily pay based on negotiation. ask questions and you will realise that there is a world of possibilities out there.
my initial recount of my own experience was not made to make it sound as if i am a super mom or it was a walk in the park. those years were tough and exhausting. there were days i was completely overwhelmed and ready to throw in the towel. but determination and grace saw me through. the basic question remains , what do you want for your life, how do i get there. have a plan with many options. if one option doesnt work out change to the next, just never stop walking. keep on walking until you reach your goal

what is all this about teaching? is teaching really a second rate career? i know in Nigeria now education is a professional course. no school worth its onions takes a teacher without a qualification in education as stipulated and enforced by the government. have we forgotten that many Nigerians were forced to study courses they never mapped out to cos " thats what jamb gave them" should that individual now armed with a basic degree not follow his passion? mind you people's dreams and aspirations and life's goals are permitted to change due to a lot of factors such as experiences and exposure. so if she studied geology and wants to end up a teacher, for me that's cool. my advise aspire to the highest level of teaching. get a PGD, then work towards a masters and a Ph D.. believe me this career gives you room to achieve this. after that consider if you want to continue as a pre university teacher or you want to step up our game and lecture.
anybody that calls a stay at home mum lazy is completely misinformed especially if that woman has no help( house help or nanny) every woman that has been there knows that is the most tedious job especially for the child bearing years. for me, during my younger days, i was a stay at home mum, brought up my children without a help. i ran businesses from home and got myself an M.Sc. fast ward 6yrs later i delved into a career path I want, registered a firm and started little by little. 3yrs later was done with baby making, have four sons and i got myself a good government job. now all my years of hands on training of my kids have paid off as the boys can comfortably run the home( mind you the eldest is 11yrs) and are very much independent. now i am about to change career path to something more demanding and rewarding as my kids can now make it out on their own. my advise don't let any body make you feel lazy cos you don't have a paid job. trust me i have tasted both worlds and can tell you which is more tasking. remain focused. utilize the free time when the kids are off to school or playgroup. better yourself, strategize and work towards how you will fit back in the labour market. it not only equips you but makes you feel good about yourself. wishing you all the best. remember your children's formative years don't last forever, it is only for a while by 3 yrs they are in school tops 11yrs they are already in boarding school. if you train they older ones well they help out with the younger. cheers and stay blessed

hello guys. i can sense a dampening of spirit in the house. lets not get weary at this point. we have waited for 3yrs. some of us even forgot about this process. so, lets be hopeful that GOD who has brought us all this far has a beautiful plan and purpose.

meanwhile did anybody apply for community relations officer.


cheers and put your best in what ever you are doing now, who knows that project well executed might be your stand out in the interview.
RomanceRe: 10 Things You Will Realise Once You Decide To Settle Down by saucepan: 10:21am On Mar 05, 2015
Zico0:
I don't like this post and because i feel since we don't say the truth it'll be a social problem. The Nigerian society is upside down and i feel it's because we hide the truth of reality.

First, because you pray, go to church and believe in God dosen't make you the better person. The better person is that one who make things work. If you have 'americana' accent and it's real, why don't you strive for Hollywood. For example, there's aisha tyler, estelle, oshinua whatever and one other black guy in Lost, there are two black dudes in 24hrs S07 etc. Does anyone think it's impossible? Hmmn! Planes fly, don't they?

Second, In life, what matters is what good you bring. Are you a asset or liability?, ultimately, it boils down to who's hungrier; ultimately, it boils down to science: knowledge, skill and information; ultimately, meritocracy apportions opportunities: if an executive will only outsource contracts based on friendship, then he does so at his own peril.

#500 no be money! Nigerians will go into an endeavour without careful consideration of the estimates. It's past time we became civilised. In every endeavour there's a standard and if you cannot make the standard, that activity is not for you. That's why we like to beg; abeg abeg abeg. The value is not the money, the value is the good or service. What's that thing your good at or can assist others through?, you have to make it useful to another person. Adam Smith said "...man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethen, and it is in vain to expect it from there benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest ther self love in his favour, and shew them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them... Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizen..."
bullshit. must you convince yourself you are intelligent by countering every write up. perhaps you are one of those fellows full of green eyed envy, you cant imagine why he has almost 1000 likes. dont bother insulting me or replying cos i will not dignify you with a response. summary: go get a life. i hope you seriously consider taking that under advisement

[color=Blue]As usual, there's always a scumbag or 2 stopping to take photographs of the dead and injured, to post online.

Nigerians and their unhealthy interest in corpses.[/color]
i thought i am the only one worried by this trend. i wonder how people see the dead or wounded and all they can think of is to take pictures. many countries have had mobile phones for ages and still they don't go snapping away at people in dear need. my thought: this is completely gross and absurd.
