EducationRe: FG Scraps Post-ume by Snow30:
Elxandre:
SAT is the equivalent of JAMB.

Why is there no Post-SAT?

Abeg....
SAT is entirely different. Plus not all schools in America require SAT. Plus you can rewrite SAT up to 6 times a year
EducationRe: FG Scraps Post-ume by Snow30: 8:17am On Jun 03, 2016
This is credible bull shyte!!! Nigeria is still far from from real education standard. From a scale of 1 to 10, having post utme and jamb was a 0.9 , now scrapping post utme and leaving jamb is a 1.2 over 10.

This is "minimally" better than the former. But with a lot of issues. This will only favour more connection.

Now why Nigeria is still far. We spend 3 years in high school preparing for WASSCE, and the passing score is 5 credits , can you imagine! While we spend barely 2 months preparing for JAMB and POST UTME and that determines our outcome in admission. That is outright rubbish.

Really with whats going on, if i would have known i would have played in class from ss1 to ss3 and scrapped all my Ass and gotten just C's and i will have been set for admission. What they are saying is that there is minimal credit for something you spend your whole life preparing for. They should give more credit to WAEC.

Personally, they should scrap Jamb to, each University should create their own standards. Whether part of it entails you to write an entrance exam. Even some countries like Japan, Russia require entrance exams, Even America requires SAT. But maximum credibility is given to school leaving certificates like WAEC, IGCSE,. your transcripts, essays, testimonials, leadership qualities.
I mean Nigeria should pick this up. Arent they wondering what they do wrong that people perform more when they go abroad to study. More emphasis should lie on the real deal not some shitty exam that the smart people get low marks in.

The point is that they saw the 'mistake' and still proceeded on the journey.

The court eventually has the final say.
Imagine this, your migrating to a new mtn clique or whatever they call it. The last time you did it was a year ago and the code you used was *731#. Then you meet an mtn agent cause you can't remember fully but you have an idea. The agent tells you *713#. You are skeptical about it and you meet three more agents and they tell you the same the same thing *713#. Won't you just think that your the one that's wrong and since its coming from a direct agent they must be correct.

Mind you. It was in abbreviation KIV not in full country name. So its not His fault at all. He ain't no agent, ain't His job to be kramming airline code names. The agents are meant to be the ones telling him the correct things. After he and his mom went to several agents they kept in saying that it was correct. So maybe after many trials they finally thought they were the wrong ones.

Put yourself in those shoes. People that have spent their entire lives in that job tells you that your wrong, won't you think your wrong.

This a points his lawyers can use. Its entirely not his fault. They should sack all those incompetent agents...

Obviously no case . Its the fault of the agent . Mean2hile its their fault .
Read the full article before judging. Obviously a lawyer won't take a case for him, if the case is dumb with loopholes. It is the airlines agent's duty to give guidance to the customers. And after they re met the agents they still told them that it was correct. Even during the departure he brought the attention to the agents at the airport, they made a call to the agent that gave him to clarify , and the agent told the agent at the airport in Lagos that it was correct. The agents at airport in Lagos started calling him troublesome and so. So clearly its the airlines fault , definitely not his. Obviously a lawyer won't take a case for him, if the case is dumb with loopholes.
This is the missing part in the full article after they saw the ticket. Its people like you that loose cases. If you were the lawyer for the defendant(eygpt air) now, you would have missed this fact and they will turn it against you and you will loose. Always look for full facts first before you talk. Someone posted the link earlier so you have no excuse. This is the missing part after they saw the ticket



We immediately brought this discovery to another ticketing officer’s attention who was seated at Counter 2, as we were informed that his colleague, Mr. Nzan, had stepped out of the office. This ticketing officer restated that the ticket was full economy and for Kiev, Ukraine with all the segments confirmed. However, we remained unconvinced, given that our prior experience indicated that the airport code for Kiev, Ukraine would usually read “KBP”.

I thougth i was the only one that read that part. The lawsuit is premeditated, he has no case. They saw the ticket he was issued. The ticket he bought was where he was taken to.
It is the duty of the passenger to have the visa of the country you are visiting and not that of the airline. If you couldnt get the visa of the airline route countries, you book with another one.

I am sorry for all the trouble he went through and all his lost baggages.

The boy was racially abused, put in cell in like 2 different countries, wasn't given food on the plane for like 4days,was deported back to Lagos from Moldova en route portugal and an Egyptian tore his Nigerian passport right in his face. Which is an insult to the Nigerian govt and we Nigerians as a whole. He suppose sue dem pass $500m sef. Those fucking bastards have no regard for Nigerians

Hey guys.....I missed my call 4 Russia . is there still any hpe 4 me
So sorry, must be devastating.....You can call FSB and inform them of the scenario and tell them that you are willing to fight for a spot for nomination for your second choice country if you put any, if there is no hope for you for Russia again. Cause we've already had our interview.

DrND:
So I guess they(FSB) are done shortlisting for the BEA scholarship. Any other info on ppl that hv not been contacted tru mail or text or call? Guys I need to know. Some plz explain.
As far as I know, they are only done with nomination for Russia, China, and Hungary.....they are yet to call for other countries although slots for other countries are usually small, between 3-15-20 slots. Countries like Ukraine, morocco, Serbia, Egypt, Cuba, S.korea,Algeria and the rest. So don't loose hope. Following last threads some were called as late as August.....so there is still hope. Also if FSB doesn't fill slots for a particular country they might call someone with also high qualifications but didn't qualify for the country he/her choose to fill in another countries slot and also some people might reject the scholarship last minute so they will have to fill in the slot at last minute with someone else....so Again there is still hope for everyone even though it might be little.

please is waec gce accepted for the bea ug?
Requirements change for each year. This year was only WAEC, last year was both NECO and WAEC, I have never seen GCE used before but I might be wrong.....but I doubt if FSB might want to stand back in standard as each year is tougher with also an increase in applicants. So they might want to keep it as only WAEC. I even anticipate them increasing requiring distinction from 5 to 7 or so.

Hey... It is free to apply... So read carefully before you start calling others FRAUD....

I have been on the website myself and it is completely free to apply.

The premium package is an optional service.... READ CAREFULLY PEOPLE BEFORE SPREADING LIES.
Sorry, I later realized that you still have to pay 200 dollars agent fee to apply but that is after you have already gotten your admission letter and scholarship if any.......So guys do apply. But the scholarship for CIU only covers full tuition, but accommodation is quite cheap. So you pay for meals, transport, flight, accommodation, health insurance, but they are all quite okay not up to Canada, UK and US fees. Also the full tuition is awarded to Nigerians on a one in every 50 applicants, so its very competitive...and also every "admitted" applicant is guaranteed a 50 percent off tuition fee if he doesn't get the full tuition.

If I've done my own medical report back in my state will I still have to do it again in Abuja?
No, but it must be in a general hospital. But the only thing is that each country has its own designated tests it requires for example for Russia we were required to do just three x ray, hepatitis B and HIV. Other countries may add more or require a different combination. So there is no way you will know.
