His opening statement


It's unfortunate that some gullible individuals on Nairaland still can't see through the scam. I feel sorry for them. 😂😂😂

So you think I will use my main monicker that I registered since 2012 to post this? A monicker that has too much personal info, including my wedding picture.......

Anyone that believes this is a scam, thats their own cup of tea. It will even help reduce the number of applications pouring in.

I am even too busy to reply things like this.........back to work jare.

I am seeing some of your emails and I can see that a few of you do not quite understand this initiative.

I will state it here again, and for the last time.

We are not empowering you with cash for obvious reasons. We are empowering you with a Fast Moving product worth one hundred thousand naira. You are encouraged to reinvest the funds you get from that product back into your existing business or back into that same product. The choice is entirely yours.

Dont send emails soliciting for cash because that is an automatic rejection. This is a product empowerment, not cash empowerment.

Once we reach the target of 40 viable applications for Product Empowerment in the email, this exercise shall be discontinued.

Good Morning Family.

The Expression of Interest for the Product Empowerment opens by 9 a.m. today and I wish those of you interested in it, all the best.

Before you send in your application, please note:

1. To avoid mismanagement of funds and to actualize the objective of this empowerment, we are empowering you with products worth one hundred thousand naira, as we need to ensure that the empowerment you receive will not be mismanaged.

You are highly encouraged to use this opportunity as a springboard for that same business because it is a Fast-Moving business (I will send you the details of the warehouse if you are interested, but if you decide another alternative business, it is fine.

2. Your application does not need to be typed on any document. We want to make this process as seamless as possible for you, so typing in the body of your email will suffice. The subject should be: Application for Product Empowerment.

3. Be truthful about every information you send in, to avoid disqualification.
You are required to send the following information to the email address: admin@solutions4humanity.org


1. Your full name
2. Your full address
3. Gender: Male/Female
4. Your phone number
5. Your WhatsApp number if different from the number above.
6. Your current business (if any). If none, that won’t be a problem.
7. Three cogent reasons why you need to be empowered with products worth 100,000 Naira, and what you will do with the money.

After the first 40 entries sent to the email indicated above, we will close the Expression of Interest. As I mentioned yesterday, it is on a first come first served basis.

Best of Luck to you all

Nairaland has continued to bless me for over a decade and counting in ways beyond expression which has translated into mega jobs, investment opportunities and opportunities to birth abroad- just to mention a few. Oh! I forgot to add, I met my darling spouse here on Nairaland in 2014 and our marriage is over a decade and counting Sorry to digress off point

So to the discourse of this thread, This year, I will be forty years of age; looking back at how far I have come, my heart is filled with so much gratitude and I really want to give to this community, my own first ever CSR for the opportunities I have enjoyed from here.

I have two cohorts for the CSR. The first cohort is for small businesses. The second cohort is for those interested in being equipped with corporate skills for the work place that makes your CV stand a good chance for being the employer's choice after interviews. I'll share more details about that in the Career Section much later.

For now, the Business community here would be enjoying the largesse-for those that are interested.

40 people will be given the opportunity to boost their businesses with one hundred thousand naira worth of products- given to you FREE of CHARGE, with little or no stress. The only thing is for you to prove that you are in business, or want to be in business using the leverage of this opportunity.

If you are interested, you are free to indicate interest here.

The call for proposal opens tomorrow by 9 a.m. WAT and closes immediately we reach the targeted number-40. It's on first come, first served basis.

Until then, take good care of yourselves and businesses

While you await a response from the gurus,
go through everything in the link below, you will find them all useful

https://www.nairaland.com/6957495/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/648#113697664

Good luck

Thank you so much.

This has been extremely helpful

Good day to all the gurus here. I've been a silent follower of this thread and appreciate everyone's immense contribution. I have been able to get adequate answers to several questions I had just by going through this thread and this has streamlined my question to only 1, which is why I am here.

Please I need advise on securing PhD admission in Canadian universities. I have a very strong career and academic profile and that won't be a limitation.

The reason I came on here to ask is that several years ago when I decided to pursue this dream, I reached out to several professors in different schools seeking to be engaged for my PhD with them; however, none responded even after several follow up mails.

Between that time and now, God has been gracious to enable me build a very strong career, serving in a high position with an international organisation. I want to deploy the funds available to me to pursue the PhD dream I had once abandoned. Of course I'd prefer it to be fully funded. I just want to explore all avenues possible of achieving this dream.

Please what can I do differently this time around to increase my chances of getting a PhD admission in Canada?

I would appreciate all the insight I can get.

Thank you in advance

Akalia:
should I send you a cover letter?

No need again. I'll be taking it up on this thread

Akalia:
You sent me only the CV template and not cover letter. My email is emmanuelwilsoniteke@gmail.com.

Alright. That's because you didn't send any cover letter for review. I do not share template for cover letter

Akalia:
Keep up the good work. I need a template for cover letter as well.

Check. I modified your cover letter and shared with you also

I just fininshed reviewing CVs + Cover Letters and providing recommendations on areas to be improved upon for those that sent theirs in.

Even though a few needed only very little modifications, I am quite saddened by the majority of CVs and Cover letters I came across. We really have a long way to go. Without having a basic acceptable CV/CL, the vacancies posted on this page may not amount to much when you send in your applications. There is no way some can be invited for test talk less of interview based on these CVs, considering the calibre of applicants you are competing against.

It is quite exhausting going through each CV + Cover Letter and making tailor-made recommendations for improvement but I finished doing it anyway. Subsequently on this thread, I shall be sharing insights on how/how not to draft a CV or Cover Letter based on the generic and very common mistakes I've seen people make in these documents. It's going to be a very busy weekend as usual, but I'll squeeze out time to get it done.

Good night ooops Good Morning

You swapped username?
