^haha yeah i know lol

If lagos is that bad man I imagine what would happen if enugu, anambra, kano and all those other states are included in the rankings.

MS/PhD in Engineering (to my knowledge) will typically take 5-7 yrs, with the duration depending highly on your adviser.

LOL, quite long. I am beginning to consider other options, I would have preferred to do a masters- quicker and get a job without any hassle. Anyways let me see how things shape out.

Yeah i have checked. None so far- the school i got accepted in has a Nigerian professor- and thats the only school. Most of the professors are white or Asians so far and lol the asian professors research groups consisted of 100% asians haha. I am not welcome lol.

Anyways I would keep looking and keeping my fingers crossed, this was way more difficult than I speculated. Also I am at significant disadvantage because I am transitioning from the hard sciences to engineering.

Cute pictures of children though

However, Fred Ajudua was in a class of his own.

Seriously though, Ade Bendel is not Yoruba, mekusxx.

However, Ajudua na proper thief. Infact he should be a case study for thieves  

haha fred adjudua is a legend. King of 419er

EzeUche:
London is not a nice city at all. Washington DC is a better city to visit.

Which part of DC are you talking about? The SE that is full of poor black people ? Or the rich white suburban areas ?

DC and london is just like lagos and , poor areas and rich areas.

However, anambra and enugu are crappy all round

This is an example of anambra state university  . Hehe cult activities

mekusxxx:
Make a survey of Nigerians who would like to live in Lagos and the outcome will surprise you. That place is hell on earth

That doesn't make sense. Why do all your youths from alaigbo come to lagos despite the fact that it is no longer a federal capital? Moreover why do you like to make spurious statements?

I know you want to insult yoruba people which is your prerogative. But please you know lagos is one of the most important cities in Africa and so is under more scrutiny. You cannot compare it to small boys like enugu and anambra

mekusxxx:
We'd rather remain rankless (like thousands of other cities in the world) than be ranked as piece of thrash. Lagos is thrash, thrash and thrash. Disgrace to Nigeria.

Thats a big fat lie. You know Lagos is considered the best city in Nigeria well maybe Abuja a bit better. If its crap, then every other city in Nigeria is crap hehe. Believe what you want but that is the truth.

Anyways all African cities are crap, we should be thinking of how to develop them, all these other stuff na story.

Onlytruth:
Dirty swagger! Swagger in the middle of refuse dumps and gutters! Lagos is the dirtiest city in Africa and the 5th worst city in the world and you are here bragging about an idiotic swagger. Your folks will be busy throwing parties in the middle of shi't!

Thats because all your bloody igbo states are not in any rankings.

haha just got another rejection- this is one of my worst application seasons lol

so you do guys think that I should contact professors in the schools I still have pending? I doubt much could be done now, but is there harm in trying? I wish I knew this- but I dont want to reapply again though. If I dont get in I dont want to apply.

By the way for anyone who completed the PhD. how any years did it take you?

^ Hehe this guy is back again English grammar no go hear word again

@topic

Sounds like a harry potter tale to me. Anyways Awolowo is dead, the "living know they shall die but the dead know not"

Did you mean second world war? If so, you comparison is worthless. The Germans were the ones that attacked first by attacking and annexing Poland. In our case, Nigeria attacked Biafra simply because Biafra wants to leave the country. Does that not sound like a difference to you?

So if the Oba of lagos for example decides that he is sick of all the non-lagos people in his place and wants to declare the sovereignty of lagos as a country- do you expect the Nigerian Governement to watch?

Secession is a crime IMO. I dont know where mekusxx is from but its not Ok to just claim you want to create an autonomous government within a federal territory without expecting war. WTH

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=397601.msg5510675#msg5510675 date=1266111477]Everyone referred to the war as Biafra war/Civil war.  The war was between Federal troops vs the Igbos and others who tried to secede.  Obviously the majority of those claiming Biafra were Igbos, this fact should be as clear as a whistle.

Now I don't believe that Gowon said the civil war was not against Ndigbo simply because the article quoted Gowon making a statement that completely contradicts that point. If the title of the article is "Civil War Not Against Ndigbo — Gowon", you'd think that the author would at least provide us with the quote that supports the point that Gowon made that statement.[/quote]Exactly. However, I think Gowon was probably trying to say that the war was not a genocide against the igbo but against  secessionist (who were incidentally igbo).

becomricch:
was awolowo the one who order starvation or was it not the fault of biafra and gowon. biafra did not prepared for the war . and they have no food. how can you fight a war without food. ?    And gowomn was the one who gave the order to starve igbos, and block the  red cross at that time.  I dont see am igbo been bold enough to blame gowon and the north for the decision.  And it was biafra fault too. how do you fight a war without food.  that is another reason , yorubas have to join benin republic , we dont want to end up like you. And with the republic of benin, we cant starve of food in war. the land space is so much to provide and fight , if need be

As embarrassing as this is I have to agree with becomrich. . The igbo's did not do much planning when they jumped into the war.

Yeah it sucks. I have gotten a somewhat offer from a very lowly ranked school though lol but it was my safety. I still have to nail that one. It is a big name school but lowly ranked in my field of interest. So when you applied for your PhD did you write the professors you wanted to work for? And did you contact professors? I know people who got in the backdoor route- they knew and had done research with professors in the evaluation committee.

Or I just dislike misleading information

Nigerian buys Gatwick on behalf of Fund shareholders

correct but why is this in the politics section?

he didn't buy it himself though and this is stale news
