Walspring:
They have decieved and scammed your mum and i am sorry to say this. I will advice to forget this people and move on.

If you mother haven't pay the balance for the exam or the money yet, tell her that she shouldn't pay and someone can give your brothers tips, tutorial and materials on toefl and SAT and how to get a good score..

Send me pm so as to send you materials for the toefl and SAT

Thank you so much... God bless you... i just hope she listens......

kfrosh:
I understand the way our mothers can be rigid even when you yell them they're on the wrong path. With your phone in hand and with her beside you. Google cost of TOEFL registration, let her see with her eyes how much it cost and how the agent is about to dupe her or has already duped her.
Hopefully she gets convinced.

i have told her severally .... normally i dont call witb my airtime.... but i call her every morning just to tell her to visit ikeja by mafit.

homirefacuny:
Some agents wont make heaven. Research all these stuffs yourself online and block the agent number on mum's phone. Thank me later

am 13hours away from home... she knows his office... her freinds introduced her to the man

Spotlighte:
I am so sorry about this, but it looks like there is enough money to throw away. I mean 804k is so much money for standardized tests fam. That money is enough to write the tests, pay application fees to more than 6 schools, and still cover other major expenses.

STAY AWAY FROM AGENTS ! ! !

If you register with B.Y Mafit, you get to pay 45k for the TOEFL. That 45k takes care of the materials he would need to read to ace the test. Looking from things, your brother need classes, and B.Y Mafit offers that for free.

What your mum's friend told her is a fat lie. When your brother goes there, he'd see his age mates in class. There are kids there his age attending classes and waiting to write their own tests.

Life shouldn't be this tough to be honest.

Again, STAY AWAY FROM AGENTS! ! !

thank you my brother.... i have spoken and spoken to her o... she has so much responsibilities ! am even discouraged to discuss my plans with her with the way shes spending into scam. And shes a federal worker. i will send her screenshots

i dont know what to do .let me just say the matter...

my mum is being charged 250k for toefl by an agent for my brothers undergraduate admission... he charged her 375k for sat and 179 for rewrite after failing... they have been on it aince octiber 2017..... the agent said he will resume january,no wes yet, sat is oct 6, no applications,no school....... i have told her about by mafit ... she told her freinds who told her someone they know said by mafit isnt for young people ( a 17year old boy). I am like isnt it just english exam and he will be tutored... the matter has tire me .... and its not like she has the money yet o....

Truth is, one isn't guaranteed a particular job however, one could grab an academic or non-academic job. Read through job placements and you will realize it is worth it.

alright...thanks alot..i will do that

GboyegaD:
I do not understand your question, can you rephrase it?

alright thanm you.... let me break it down.... is a phd in economics worth the stress in the united states? are there going to be good paying jobs? because the person is thinking of switching to somethi g else entirely...but i currently told the person to hang on.

hello everyone....good day...please who has an idea of the career prospect of someone who wants to study phd economics in the united states....the person has a masters in economics from a nigerian university already. Thank you

100kobo:
Let's assume you didn't know that the post you copied originated from Femi 321, why didn't you at least, give credit to the fellow whom you quoted. My brother, there is no denying the fact that copy copy is who you are. Let's end it here mbok.

you are probably very slow to read and realise that i already apologised to the poster....who is long gone and here you are still having an erectiion over this situation..... Get a life!

hello sir...good evening...please i sent you a pm... i want to ask some career related questions...thank you

sureb0yy:
Lol. Do you genuinely believe the Embassy has a blacklist AND there's someone on here who has access to that blacklist? See, if you have the qualification and you wanna go to the school, apply there and go get your visa.

hello mister... i know you have said you wouldnt reply pms again due to peoples hypocrisy..... but i have been looking for you since...i read your post about america when you landed...and i was glad cos it was a motivation for me,but was sad i couldnt find you cos you deactivated..... i went to my screenshots and found your name in quotes and connected the dots.... please i have questions...edakun .. kindly check your pm


Thank you

100kobo:
We are saying the same thing. If only we know as a people down here, how plagiarism is disdained in saner climes, we wouldn't be reminded to show some credit. And hey! 100kobo is not playing sanctimonious here as you have implied by calling him "agbejoro". He is guilty of same negligence too, most of the time. That's who we are!

speak for yourself please...thats who you are....shikena

please who has chidinho s contact....the guy who got admission into ....duke University for Master of Quantitative
Management with concentration in Business Analytics.

he deactivated already

100kobo:
That word is alien to the Nigerian lexicon. Very unfortunate!

agbejero...mind your business....it wasnt like i planned it out to make it seem like mine.....i copied it from someone else who copied it...and just found out it was written by femi321 on part 13 post.... abeg mind your business.....

ifyalways:
You have to write eligibly.I'm an old woman and have no time to strain my poor eyes and head trying to figure out what you mean.

zarconflux:
Good morning nairalanders,my name is freddie from imo state,I graduated Aug,2015 and now I want to leave nigeria but the only option I have for now is via student visa.
I have an uncle in the US who's over 43yrs in d US but he's not helping.Now I want to go for masters in the same US but I don't know where to start,I have read d previous conversations but d terms sounds Spanish.
Please someone should help a brother...what do I do?

There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if
we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for
now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course
you want to study, To save you some stress start from this
website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So
step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools
using a) www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you
should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most
common courses, you can start from there
b) www.gradschools.com c) www.google.com (you can just type 'msc
in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org .
3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the
requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require
both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You
can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take
the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the
information you need about the exam on the website. You will get
adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I
createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/
AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0
TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though,
some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone
country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link
below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other
sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and
the simulation test.

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP
and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This
can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or
Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an
assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a
monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One
advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of
the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and
funding opportunities, be very explicit.
Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring
(Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its
advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall
2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before
ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My
philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to
regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good
for you.

bigfrancis21:
Practically 0% chance. Except if someone here lends you money which is very rare or you get a GA from school (if going for graduate studies).

wow...thank you so much..thank you

Hello gurus ..how else can someone get loan ..if the school isnt among the scjools listed on mpower and prodigy....plus no cosigner ...

Please if you have bsc Accounting, and you are currently applying or have applied...please i need suggestions...
Thank you

Spotlighte:
People between the ages of 20 and 25 who go through this admission process themselves (including monies paid for travels, living expenses, tuition, visa fees and others) without so much support from family, how do you do it?

Also, is it possible to travel to other countries for visit sake with one's F1 visa while living in America?

I am asking for a friend. I am that friend.

let me hang with you.....someone should please reply...edakun

LagosismyHome:
There are so many schools in the USA so really I don't know about 99 percent of them. Please do some research and it would help guide you if the school is right for you

okay thank you...i will keep doing that

LagosismyHome:
.. As an international student you need to think about life after F1 and
also your chances of H1B for those who need or want to remain. H1B
is competitive to get a company to sponsor u hence the quality of the
school is vital and not the easy of getting admission that is vital . If a
school is ranked at 173 in engineering do u really want to go there for
engineering .
I would recommend you go and write GRE and aim for schools more
highly ranked in Engineering and score high to aim for funding... After
F1 years u will say i am glad someone in NL adviced me better
****Recent data analysis showed that Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville area is relatively unsafe; the college is reported to have
a rather poor rating for on-campus crime. Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville engineering program ranks #173

hello ma...i found this your post on an old thread ...please what do you think of montclair state university and florida instititute of technology for an ms in accounting. Thank you

vickertony:
I never said, there isn't, there are good prospects but from my research forensic accountants work mostly with job agencies like FBI, Law offices etc

Heard its a specialized area of accounting, nothing really special about it, it doesn't command high income like that, it takes time to be an expertise in it.

I wouldn't want to limit myself to such kinda jobs, I prefer Management information system atleast I can take up any role in IT sector, startups, companies, Business & IT combined, even a career as an IT Auditor is very much possible.


Lastly, follow your heart, make the best decisions for you its your life & I wish you the very best & luck!

make more researches!!

alright...thanks

vickertony:
Evening, hope you are good.

I have seen your posts about writing ican or gmat etc

Like you am looking towards fall 2019,i have not written

any of the exams tho, I looked at MSc forensic accounting,

after school the job prospects are mainly government agencies stuffs like that, instead I have opted for

Management information system with the idea of working as a business analyst or under project management, different IT levels etc

FYI, I studied accounting just like you, not really interested in ican anyways, am not planning on working in this biosphere called Nigeria.

Mine is, write GRE AND TOEFL, Seek for funding /scholarships /graduate Assistantships


In all follow your heart, make more researches, I wish you the very best.

Hello good evening...are you saying there are really no good prospects for forensic accountants? Because they can work as auditors and accountants too?

LagosismyHome:
Aim to score high in SAT... then if the score is high together with a good SSCE then target HBCU and other schools that offer full ride to international students. If you Google full ride scholarship international student you should find some directions

Thank you so much ma..God blesss you

ifyalways:
Lol. I'm too old to have any sort of discussion with any agent. Thanks

He already has an international passport. I'll try and see if I can get the steps myself (I already know about SAT etc and will trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry and find time to Google more about it egwhen to write the exams bla bla) THe biys parents arw not intwrested in sending him to study in US but i am (boy is too intelligent to waste his time here, my opinion) so the onus falls on me.

hello..good day...kindly view your mail please.... i want to ask you questions too...biko..thank you

Lamzee:
