I thought you had given up
If you've gone through threads for previous years, you'll understand that patience is a must have.

ugofwesh:

Called the dragnet office and they kept on saying we would get emails soon..same thing they've been saying for over a month..those guys are just useless

ugofwesh:

If you don't hear any news next week..just know the scholars have been notified already and move on..

Are you speaking as an authority, more like a spokesman for Dragnet/NAE? Successful candidates were contacted even in August some years back and it's just July, some calm down.

IgedeFelix:
Has any one gotten any information from Dragnet or Agip? Please kindly share any valuable information.

Called and they said I should regularly be checking my mail oh!!
If I was paid 5 naira for every time I have refreshed my mailbox, God knows I won't be needing this scholarship again��.

Your tiredness is still learning how to be tired. Exactly one month now.

Michealakin:
Tomorrow makes it a month. My tired is getting tired

Who knows? No one can say. Peeps on nairaland could represent only a fraction of the shortlisted candidates for the assessment. Although I contacted scholastica via mail and they said no one has been contacted yet but then again, this is a common response they give most of the time.

EngrKUNLE:
The question is will everyone be contacted regardless

That's the most annoying part, not like they contact unsuccessful candidates.
You only get to know your fate when the successful applicants have been reached.

This place is a bit dusty, lemme do some clean up with this post. We have entered the communication period, has anyone heard anything yet?

expialidocious:
@all, Please when do we start expecting feedback? Any ideas?

From the past editions, it took 2 - 4 weeks, I can only infer that it will take the same period.

I would very much appreciate it if you could forward same to my mail
scholarshipways@gmail.com

Good read

"I'm better off without you", "I like the woman I'm becoming". Do these statements ring a bell? Many of us have come across quotes like this on WhatsApp, Facebook and so on. Whenever we see quotes like this, the first thing that comes to mind is that the individual who posted it, just got out of a relationship.

I find it funny that after a break up, most people try to prove that they're over their exes by posting motivational quotes like the ones above or memes aimed at making their exes feel uncomfortable. For example, a girl who just got out of a relationship with a stingy guy may constantly post memes condemning stingy guys on her WhatsApp status, hoping her ex will see it and feel bad. Or a girl who just got out of a relationship with a guy who constantly ignored her, may start posting motivational quotes like "Don't force yourself on anybody", "don't settle for less", "don't stay where you are not wanted" etc immediately after the breakup.

If you really want to give your ex the impression that you're over them, posting memes and motivational quotes is not the way. The best way to do that is to act like nothing happened, and that should also reflect in what you post on your WhatsApp status or anywhere else. Post normal stuff, don't post anything relating to breakups or relationships. When you constantly post motivational quotes after a breakup, it gives your ex the impression that you're still thinking about them and that you're still hurt. But when you act like nothing happened, it makes your ex wonder if they ever meant anything to you (I'm talking from experience).

You should also avoid making your ex feel that you hate them, scientists say that our pupils dilate when we see someone we love or someone we hate, so when you hate someone, they still have an effect on you physically, mentally and emotionally. It's better for your ex to think that you've forgotten about them than to think that you hate them. I've actually met a guy who was satisfied with the fact that his ex girlfriend still hated him, he said her hatred was proof that she was not over him yet. They later got back together but the bottom line is that when you harbour hatred for an ex, it means you're not over them completely.

You may never want to get back together with them, but they still have a strong effect on you and your mood, so try as much as possible to forget, not hate. Some people might hurt you so much that you can't even control your hatred for them, take all the time you need to heal from the pain, but don't make it obvious to them that you hate them, you don't have to put on a fake smile when you see them, just be civil, avoid sounding angry or bitter. *This is just my opinion, not a fact, do whatever you think is best for you*

Note: you should only do all this if you want to give your ex the impression that you've moved on, if you want to hash out the problems between you and your ex, there is no need to act like you don't care about them anymore but play it cool so you don't seem desperate. Also, if the issue that resulted in the breakup is a very serious one, it's better to discuss it and iron it out than to act like nothing happened.

Great writeup

wreckormend:
Since the Corona break has made us all practically useless. Even movies couldn't help the level of boredom I was feeling.

So I thought I should give my girlfriend a little bit high BP. I sent her this prank message. Had to tone it down a little so she doesn't go crazy before the end.

She hasn't read it though, but I can only imagine what her reaction will be when she wakes to this. Happy new month guys.

Peterk42:
I guess this Corona virus is impeding the PETAN recruitment

Exactly my thought. This coupled with the fall in oil prices.

ExpertNLer:
Anyone yet to complete NYSC invited?

That's another line of thought. I'm yet to and wasn't shortlisted

Chidolight7:
I chose Abuja I've been invited

Alright, thank you for your prompt response but a quick one. Was there any phrase like Abuja - Abuja_Engineering_Group_2 in your interview details?

To everyone that was shortlisted, I wish y'all success.
I would like to get clarity on this shortlisting process.
Is the shortlisting done in batches?
Has anyone who chose Abuja as interview location been shortlisted?
I would really appreciate your help.

binary007:


As Far as I have not gotten a success mail yet, They have not sent to anyone else.

And if I do not get get a success mail.
I will be sure to Sue dragnet.
There is no way on earth that I would give an exam my 99.9% and wouldn't be part of the top 50 in the just concluded exam.

Don't be so sure of yourself. Just pray for grace.

sassysure:

The source of many Diseases and the Reason of why Diseases refused To Go Away. If you want to enjoy Good Health Please Study Proper Food Combination. *Why?*
Because when Food is properly combined, every Organ in the Body Enjoys. However, if Food Is wrongly combined, All Health abnormalities arise. The Liver suffers so much. In some cases, it gives up (Death) or serious Illnesses occurs.

Millions of people enjoy Beans and Ripe Plantains. As a matter of Fact, Beans and Ripe Plantains are so Delicious that hardly you see anyone who resists it. However, It is one of the most wrongly combined Food.

Cooking Food like Beans with Unripe Plantain has No problems. In Fact, It is a Perfect Combination which makes digestion easy. However, The Same Plantain, When It Ripes becomes Fruit. Check The Difference.

A. Unripe Plantain Is Not Sweet.
B. You Can’t Eat It Raw.
C. Ripe Plantain Is Very Sweet.
D. You Can Eat It Raw.

This Explains that Heat or Fire turns the Sweetness, known as Fructose to *Acidity *. Not just Acidic, but Highly Acidic.

Trace Any Disease, It Boils down to Acidity. Check Most Pain In The Body, It Is Caused By Acid. Acid Forming Foods are extremely Dangerous and should be avoided if you want to enjoy Good Health.

Even though Foods Like Beans are also Acid Forming During Metabolism. However, such Acid is called PH Balance. (Acid/Alkaline Balance) They are good provided you digest them well. Unless you are Allergic to such.

The difference here is that, when Fruits are damaged by fire, They become poison to the body. Who suffers? The Liver!

Here is the Problem: Beans takes between 5 to 7hrs to Digest Properly and leave the Stomach.
★While Ripe Plantains take Just 3Hrs.
★No Fruit Digest in the Stomach. But In the Terminal Ileum.
★While Beans Digest In the Stomach.
★The Ripe Plantain Doesn’t need Pancreatic Enzyme to Digest.
★While Beans Need. When they are combined, The Ripe Plantain tries to Leave the Stomach to Travel to the Terminal Ileum where It Digests but the Beans Won’t allow it. This struggle goes on for long which is unknown to the owner of the Body until Fermentation takes Place. As you may be aware, Fermentation Is the source of many known diseases today.

Therefore combining Beans and Ripe Plantain is Called *Delicious Poison.*
I will advise we avoid Cooking, Baking, Frying and Boiling Ripe Plantains… It is best to eat it RAW.

When u have Chem 121 exams and u need something to help u remember.
Don't worry, u'll pass as long as you eat beans and plantain to the exam.

Most of these figures are either oversized or fabricated.

Jewelbaby01:
Most men here are just recounting their ordeals. So sad, accept my sympathy. You can tell your ladies to come for free lessons on how to keep their men. I'm willing to help. And I think you men need those lessons too.
Everyone needs to keep fit, not just the ladies. Both women and men deal with a lot, smelly mouths, smelly armpits, pot bellies, overweight bodies( Can't even wiggle in bed), low libido, one minute people, fat ugly faces, smelly poops and farts , gluttony, poor hygiene, etc. Too numerous to mention, so many people (both men and women) are guilty of these, so stop the attacking already and find solutions. There are lots of fitness centres around town now, go fix yourselves, readup articles and books on healthy living and relationship. You all don't have excuses. As for the women, yeah pregnancy does a lot of changes to our bodies, but it is in our place to cub our appetites and keep those changes in check. Men give your women time to work on their bodies, you can't expect her to get her figure back immediately after birth, remember it took the body a whole 9months to effect those changes, the body might need another 9 months or even twice that to get back in shape, but yeah, that's only if the woman in question has healthy eating habits and is ready both physically and mentally to make it happen. So please, stop all the lashing and get to work, bearing in mind that you're doing it for your own benefit and no one else. Consider the health benefits, it's for your own good, if you drop dead today cos of HBP or HBS or any other ailment caused by obesity, your spouses will go ahead and marry someone else, and you lose. Be wise.

The only sensible comment I've read. Others have been attacking opposite genders.

PrimadonnaO:


Her mother first... who didn't teach a growing child what she needed to know.

Then the adult who grows up and still refused to learn for herself what she needs to know.

Using myself as an instance, growing up we didn't eat a variety of foods... nobody in my house liked swallow so my mum rarely prepared soups... the few occasions she did, they were mostly three soups... egusi, banga soup and pepper soup. My kid bro hated anything that had okro or was stretchy... the others had their peculiar dislikes, that was why my mum narrowed things down to the three generally-eaten options.

But when I got into uni, I saw that people cooked several other varieties of foods... and sometimes in better ways than they were prepared in my house. I took it upon myself to learn... I'll cook stuff even though I know I'll barely eat it... then distribute to my neighbours.
And practice makes perfect.

Now, I can whip up so many things that I crave... I think I can cook at least 10 soups... plus all the bakes and pastries.

Please is there a vacant apartment in your neighbourhood?
You'll be a great neighbour to have.

Pls how did it go? U must have done the ODVI already by now. I would really really appreciate some useful info on the type of questions asked and how it went in general

Hey there, I also got the ODVI invite. One of my friends who did his, sometime in July said it's chiefly behavioral questions.
Sent you an email via Nairaland, do well to respond. Hopefully, we can help ourselves through this.

Can I have your contact, I'll need your guidance for the ODVI.
Here's my email Contact@unilag.33mail.com. Thanks.

SonOfUbunja:
