Great thread! An ardent fan of tennis here.

Team Fed-Wawrinka /Serena.

Let the grandslam begin!

Hmm. ..

Walexwal:
Thanks bro......what about University of Saskatchewan. I just stumbled on them and its as if they ve son good funding.

pls what do you think about the school?

Thanks

I don't know much about the University of Saskatchewan but I have heard good things about the school too. You can equally give it a try.

Walexwal:
pls which Uni in Canada can I do MSC Agricultural
Economics with funding available .

I av a Degree with GPA of
4.5
is my result strong enof for funding?
thanks

Hello. You should try University of Manitoba. While your CGPA is good, I can't ultimately assure you funding but your chances are not bad at all. Also, the school fees aren't as high as that of some Canadian Universities.

You should at least get some funding that reduces your fees into half with this CGPA (IGSES).

Only a silly or rigid person will not give thumbs up to the OP. Just by reading it, it truly sounded like an interview and not an interrogation. A sensitive HR personnel should know when you are giving prepared answers and when it's instinctual (which is more of the person you are).

Lessons learnt:
- One should always accept responsibility for his or her actions. That might have been an instinctual answer from the OP, but he was able to back it up with thoughtful explanation.

-A thin smile can go a long way. It calms the tense interview atmosphere.

-Confidence (not over confidence) is equally important.

God's favour cannot be counted out but it seems that's the only thing my fellow Nigerians will point out...as if others that weren't called back aren't God's children.

Na everybody dey visit her for that mansion. Next week is my turn.

What's up with Tochi?

Enoquin:
Did he toss the mic after the interview? That's all I want to know

tpiar:
so, how far?

Alaafia.

Happy new year people. I haven't been on here in a while. Life in Canada has been so fast. I just want to encourage everyone that with hard work and God you will succeed. I did an 8 months programme at Seneca college and a 4 month coop (Jan - dec 2015). My first job which started in Dec is as an IT Project Manager earning over $80k per annum. Stay focused and you can do it too, do not try to cut corners or beat the system. Canada is a land of opportunities and with God's grace and handwork the sky is your limit.

I just thought to encourage all those aspiring to come, the new comers and those who have finished studying. Get on the express entry pool as soon as possible because things are about to change pretty quickly.

God bless you all and have a beautiful year in Canada

Oh boy....eh eh. This is God's blessing o. $80k per annum??

BTW, I just resumed Masters study last year Sept...what do you mean things are about to change quickly with respect to PR? Thanks.

My selfie dey my profile.

prof800:
Why? You don't like his style?

I admire his style but I believe it's because Nigerian screenwriters aren't 'that good generally' for now; so, he is one of the few exceptions. I personally don't think he is 'that good'. Or let me say he hasn't wowed me yet. My point is entirely subjective. At least, he has written for the Kunle Afolayan and the likes.

Kemi Adesoye has impressed me more than him.

prof800:
As I dey watch AMVCA na him "NEPA" carry light.


Damn! Tunde Babalola got two awards!!
EPIC and UNBELIEVABLE. Has it ever happened that a screenwriter gets two awards for screenwriting in the same night?
Wow! Epic feat.!!
Now that's our own Charlie Kauffman.

Congrats to him. Not a big fan of him though.

prof800:
I want to specially thank Sholay2011 for surprising me wonderfully last year. I have not been saying much and will not say much so that people will not think you are my gay partner hehehe..

But I miss you. Finish your masters and run back to your fatherland ooo.
I wish you happy new year with love.

Don't mention sir.

Happy New Year oo. Wishing you a prosperous and fulfilling 2016. Spam bots don ban speedyboi and also, he asked you not to put his thread on frontpage yet (in case you had that in mind) because it still needs some edit.

speedyboi:
It is a ghen ghen...Fifty has broken all records....grossing almost everything "The Figurine" made in a weekend! With all the publicity, it ought to. The business can only continue to get more lucrative. More cinemas abeg.

speedyboi:
What everyone says is not that the world (I'm thinking you mean WEST) hates us, but the west needs to portray a balanced view...Yea, there are diseases and poverty in Africa; but whilst you are at it portraying all these things, don't forget the cities and the comfortable citizens; don't forget the middle class, the stinking rich, don't forget even a "superficial" world like Abuja....They are all part of the "African Narrative"....."African Narrative" shouldn't be slum slum slum.....when that is not all there is to the continent. Tell a whole narrative, or don't tell anything at all. That is my own. I get your point, anyway...and I entirely agree with not settling for mediocrity!

Hmmm....once again, you are very right but this is not what the speech was implying.

Lol@ your previous post.

speedyboi:
lol, air your own point of view! lol

My view is that I fully support the speech. The speech doesn't imply that we shouldn't appreciate what we've 'achieved' so far, rather we should not settle for mediocrity as excellence or just shout that the world hates us when we've not done enough to prove them wrong.

Once again, I do not expect everyone commenting on this thread to say 'nice one' or 'inspired speech'. It's nice to have a different point of view like yours, which is correct on its own but doesn't do it for me with respect to this speech.

BTW, see who is on my profile.

speedyboi:
very very nice speech!!!

However, I think the positive stories about Africa is important....Yes things are still not great, but it's a lot better than it used to be. It's amazing how it's quite easy for humans to forget how bad things once was. Chude as a case study; his grandparents probably lived poor somewhere in one rural farm, but he is now living in a comfortable apartment building in Lagos....That's the narrative of most present day urban Nigerians....so yea....A LOT of families have actually been lifted out of poverty. But the level of poverty in China and Nigeria 50 years ago is not the same; so their individual progress can't be compared now. Yes, our roads are still bad, but 50 years ago, 90% of them were not even tarred at all. I agree with most of the other parts where he isn't trying to imply that the continent is not making progress.

Thanks for sharing Sholay

Hmmm...I like your contrarian thinking even if I don't agree with your point of view.

Thanks for reading speedyboi.

speedyboi:
Thank you bros! I hear Akure now has a cinema ...you could've stayed

BTW; I just ruffled up one list for Nollywood today, so I won't vex prof . Lemme finish it up and post it.

Lool...how are you so informed? Yeah, it's true. Akure don get cinema oo . That's not why I left though

I am waiting for your 'list'.

FredBloggs:
my former moniker was preciousjoz. Joy, I will have to download it tonight niyen! Thanks again sir.

You are welcome sir. Now I remember your former moniker. I am a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence. 'Joy' is a very inspirational film...a bit tonally confused but it overall works for me.

I hope you like it.

FredBloggs:
No, I don't even comment self, I just read your comments and download the movies.oh, like "silver lining playbook" you told me about *my former moniker* . BTW, have you seen "Burnt" by Bradley Cooper?

Lol....I am curious about your former moniker. I haven't seen 'Burnt' though.

Have you seen 'Joy' ft Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro (from the Director of Silver Linings)?

FredBloggs:
Boss happy new year! I barely see your comments on movie section again. hope all is well?

Happy new year Bro! All is well. I try my best to make comments there. I rarely see you too.

IamOdin:

*Modified*
hey bro,,you made sense from start till end,forgive my agitation cos long threads like these end up being shit but this one's really different.

You're seconded in everything u said .

But my advice to fellow entreprenuers,cos i am one,,never u,i mean NEVER u give up cos of pressures from ladies,u should know they are brainless especially the single ones and have been that way since the time of ADAM.Always stay focused and if possible DUST these distractions b4 they ruin ur career.Though i believe any determined person should know this already.

And once more big brother Toks,forgive my agitation.

My 2kobo

Do you have sisters? You sure have a mother?
