masterP042:

I've been in this nairaland for many years, Within the last few years, I've noticed that nairaland has seriously been compromised. I think they've been bought by the government. Make any post about self determination and you'll be banned for months, a moderator here is openly partisan and compromised, yet the owner of this forum allows it. This is not the nairaland I used to know. I think this is why anything Nigeria finds it hard to be great, because before it gets to a high level they compromise it with their partiality and evil. Nairaland is dead and buried.

There's an alternative with more quality contents, found it recently. Check www.tellit.io

Done, signed up right now , I'll take anything over this proud authoritarian

Thanks man, also share with your friends and family. From what I know, the cofounder is even working on improving the interface and user experience.

except warfare, tell me one other part that makes Israel stands out?

Nigeria is one of the biggest commerce country in the world, it is one of the most diversified country, one of the most popular country, the most outstanding in its continent, socially active country. Israel no reach and I'll say it again, na corruption be our problem, from the road side hawker to the presidency, we are dangerously corrupt

Have you read the book Startup nation? Israel is not only good at warfare.

Hi have you been able to get someone.

Kind of bored and could do with a gisting partner this weekend

Stumbled on this post. I'm up for this as well. We could have some intellectual conversation this weekend

Babapyro:

I even think he has banned the user sef cos I didn't see his post again and probably all the people that complained about bullying and rape jokes on the thread,I was just astonished when he deleted the thread totally,wtf does he think he is,you give people small power and they start to behave like God,the members are practically everything to this forum and you're telling them they don't have the right to ask questions or ask you to improve some certain things,he was telling the girl or lady that it doesn't require any intelligence to complain.
He is an horrible person,he can ban me for eternity I don't give a flying fvck but I'll say my piece

Guys check www.tellit.io it's better and has a more improved interface than nairaland. It is owned by a Nigerian as well.

Could you please help me to ask him how I can get to Benin International airport from cotonuo.
Nd how many hours drive to the airport from cotonuo After crossing the border.

On this:

I asked him and he asked me not to worry. He lives in Cotonou and he told me it's 45 minutes (max) drive from where he lives. The international airport is also in Cotonou.

Imustreturn:
amazing stuff. God bless your journey

Amen

Imustreturn:
amazing. What kind of traineeship bro

Digital technologies.

Let me put this out there for those who may not know. The Netherlands gives a one year visa to graduates from any of the top 200 universities in the world upto three years after graduation. The same also applies if your discipline (course of study) is ranked among top 200 in the world.

ZINIBANKS:

Wow congratulations bro
I wish you success in all your endeavour
I'll check out the link now

Amen. Thanks I wish you success with yours as well. Godspeed.

Rynlesh:

Nd if anybody on here knows how i can get to the international airport when i get to cotonuo should please help a sis.

Thank you.

I'm interested in this as well please. I have a friend who speaks French fluently and he is a citizen of Benin Republic, he lives in Cotonou, perhaps he could be of help.

ZINIBANKS:

Please bro I have few questions about Netherlands visa cause am also planning to apply for their visa
Which visa did you apply for and are you granted the visa
Thanks

Hi Bro, every information you need can be found here, it is constantly updated.

https://ind.nl/

Yes I've been given the visa for a traineeship program.

I am also interested in taking this route all though the flight expenses are quite high. I have a question please:

My Netherlands visa is ready for pick up at the Netherlands embassy in Cotonou, going through their website, I read that I don't need an appointment to pick it up, I'm concerned about going there and being asked why I made no appointment. Has anyone been in a similar situation before, did you make any appointment to pick up your visa?

Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry for posting this here but nairaland education section doesn't respond

since there's no robotic engineering in Nigeria, after conducting my research I finally discovered that the closest course to robotic engineering is mecatronics and I decided to take the course which is mecatronics but what's your advice?
Please is the course good and what's the best university to study it.

1. It is spelt as Mechatronics Engineering

2. Robotics in itself is a subset of mechatronics. All robotic systems are mechatronics systems, all mechatronics systems are not robotics systems.

3. Mechatronics Engineering is still futuristic in Nigeria, however, it depends on your after study plans, but I would honestly recommend it in light of the digital age and coming economic shifts in Africa. If you want to be a margin of safety to it seeing through the lenses of present-day Nigeria, then I would recommend you give mechanical, electrical or telecommunications engineering a shot, then follow with an MSc in Mechatronics.

4. Follow your dreams and here is what I mean...sift through all the advice and make your decision based on logic and your passion.

5. I would strongly recommend you give FUTMinna a good shot for this course, you will not regret it, it is one of the best out there, otherwise consider ABUAD and if you have the resources Covenant will be fantastic.

6. I hope this helps...good luck with your future endeavours.

bizmania:


Does work during your undergraduate studies count as part of the two years required work experience? If no, how did you get over two years work experience while you were still serving?
Thanks.

Apart from your SIWES or IT other kind of work experience counts e.g volunteering experience, leadership positions held, part time Job, etc.

Thank you so much, grateful.

Guys thank you so much for all your advice, I improved on my extracurriculars, published two papers, wrote excellent essays and eventually got a fully funded scholarship in UK.


From here I will make attempt at other top shots and opportunities.


Anyone can be successful if they're willing to pay the price plus the God factor.

Vote of thanks to everyone who has kept this thread lively, I visit this page more than 3 times daily to check for updates, atleast to look for something to hold unto why PTDF stretches our patience. In the end my wish for us is whether the final list comes through merit, quota system, favour and whatever 'isms' our names should be there.

Harvard will take the second. I attended a harvard business school seminar in Accra and I asked the admissions officer the lowest GPA they admitted in the previous year. He told me they had someone with a 1.8 but this person founded a company worth 10 million dollars straight out of college. Do you know the number of perfect GPAs and perfect GMATs rejected from HBS yearly. Op go and do stuff and wow the admissions committee with your accomplishments.

Wow 1.8 this is interesting and encouraging. "yes I hear"

thelastgenius:

it doesn't matter much irrespective. I'm in management

Ok then send me a pm and we will discuss.
