It's time for my testimony, not PPR though, Dec last year I got fed up with my job, the country, economy, Buhari and all. I've been following this thread but just didn't take it serious until December last year I just got fed up and like the lepers in the Bible, I asked myself "why seat here and do nothing"? Late december last year I paid for international passport, express request, got my passport 28th December. Began preparing for IELTS. Always thought it was just an English exam, infact an uncle in the US sponsored my first IELTS with BC in January this year. When the result came out I was dumb, ordinary English? L7.5, R7.5, S7.5, W6 I quickly requested for EOR and W was upgraded to 7. Emboldened by this I felt I should just pay on attention on listening. I quickly enrolled with Idp in March, result came out L8, S8, R7.5, W6.5 This writing again! As usual, requested for EOR, followed up with the Aussies, for where? 47k Waka like that o. I knew I needed help. My wedding was by the corner. After my wedding I reached out to Johnnybravo1990, he was not available then but he introduced me to Blissnenye, hmmmmmmm, Blissnenye? Wonderful woman, I wish to meet her someday. Very soft spoken. It was like she was begging me to learn how to write. She was so calm, gentle and was an encourager. I worked with her for two weeks. After the two weeks & a while, Johnnybravo1990 reached out to me to know if I had written and if I studied with Blissnenye, I said yes, I worked with her but yet to write and still available for review with him. We scheduled for another two weeks. Johnny na strongman o! Lol, 8pm is 8pm you must keep to time with him. I work in a bank and due to tight schedule, i missed somedays of review with him and some days failed to submit a write up. Bros, I still use -em dash- three times in my task 2 o! The most interesting thing is, I can't even remember practicing writing task 1 with them, always task 2. I enrolled for the exam the third time with Idp for the 7th of September. I was too scared to tell anyone, including my wife, you know women na, before I will miss writing again and she will tell me PhD holder that is failing simple English exam. Few days to the exam day I began telling her that an Executive Director of my bank was coming to town to have a town hall meeting with staff that I will be away for most of the Saturday. Imagine, IELTS, the humbler of men. That was how I got permission to leave house on that day. Thanks to Blissnenye who called me and encouraged me to enroll for the test so as not to forget what I've learnt, an encourager indeed. Few days to the exam she say was still sending me tips on listening when I conveyed my fear to her that I'm scared of listening because I'm getting 33-34 in my reviews. On the exam day, was supposed to start with listening, something went wrong, we had to begin with reading. After reading we went back to listening. First question and answer in listening, problem started o, the answer was HARBOUR, but I didn't know which of the HABOR to write. Fifth Answer was SWIMMING, that was when I knew my village people were at work, I began second guessing, how many M does swimming have? I left those two and continued until we were given time to transfer our answers, I closed my eyes and wrote HARBOUR & SWIMMING. After the exam I ran back to Johnny and Bliss to ask them which spelling should be appropriate, American English or British English? When I was writing, for the first time in last two attempts, I began with task 2. It's was an argue both sides and choose one. I remembered all my training in the hands of my instructors! My two body paragraphs had two points each and two examples each coupled with lots of sports terminologies like fitness coach, sport enthusiastic, loss of fitness, sport idol, footballers like Ronaldo, skills, offside, sudden heart attack, aerobics etc, took three pages. Had time to read through task 2 before starting task 1, exactly five paragraphs as I remembered Johnnybravo1990 advice on task 1. Speaking test? Tension sotay I went to the venue forgetting my international passport. After so much plea, I was scheduled for another day. On the scheduled day, the examiner initially refused to attend to me, madam was even heading home. After so much plea, she returned to test me. Talk about a time you had to wake up early in the morning in the past! With this question, clearly Jay's PPF method will not work. I don't now how God alone helped me to talk here. In the third part which was questions and answers she asked why the Nigerian government cannot harness the sunlight in the north to produce electricity for the whole question. That was the only only place I know I spoke Grammer with just one word- Politicians in Nigeria are OBTUSE to issues that can alleviate the suffering of the common man. I stated further "our politicians are ANNOYINGLY INSENSITIVE to anything that will improve the lot of the downtrodden in the country. Fellas, that how it all went o. Infact, it was Blissnenye who chatted me up this morning to check my result, the tension was too much I just couldn't do it, had to give her my details, next thing she called to share the good news! She was my teacher, encourager and bringer of good news L8.5 S8 W7.5 R7.5 I have still not told me wife! Lol God has indeed been merciful. I did my ECA with ICES, only for them to tell me they are unable to verify my result from uniport after 10weeks, I bombarded them to refund my money so I can go through WES, God being so kind, they wrote back and inform me that they will go out of their way to verify my result through another Nigerian institution because I hold a doctorate degree. I sent them a mail praying for them and blessing them. Then my village people struck again. When the ECA came, it was PhD in Environmental science rather than PhD in Economics! Its like I praised them too much. Wrote back to them to notify them of the error they apologized and promised to send a correct cc which they eventually did. I thank God for the journey so far. I can't thank Blissnenye & Johnnybravo1990 enough. Obviously the combo from these two IELTS Technocrats worked out well for me. Oya, lemme go and tell my wifey so that something will come out this night na, TGIF! |
