This is a clear indication that our leaders are really profiting so much from the fight against insurgency in the country...They're keeping alot of informations from their citizenry and kept professing to us that they are trying...Just because a radio station allowed someone to voice out the truth of the state of things in the country, they are fined because of that. I pray God delivers us from the darkness in Nigeria!!!

If you're saying the total registered course credit [B] is equal to the obtained credit [A], we can express it as:
(180 [A]/180 [B]) × 4.5 or 5.0 = 4.5 or 5.0 if probably the school you are applying to uses 4.5 or 5.0 CGPA scale.

Good day all, it's really nice to locate a thread like this for potential and ongoing PhD research program. I currently want to enroll for a PhD and I was told I need a 3.50 GPA. I graduated with a masters in the UK with merit, my transcript says I got 180 points. How can I convert my merit to GPA to know if I qualify for the PhD program. Thanks.

Last month made it 4 years since my neighbor travelled to Italy via the Mediterranean Sea. Thank God for him, he arrived safely irrespective of the hurdles on the way.

He left behind a beautiful young woman not up to 29 years of age and with a little daughter of 6 years old.

Prio to this time I wasn't close to the wife but as time goes by this woman started greeting me frequently, exchanging cd plates with me even joining me to watch movies sometimes. I started noticing she's hot with her sexy hairy body. One night she opened up to me that she needs the touch of a man if we could be doing it secretly because her husband still promise to come for her hence what she needs is someone to be touching her once in a while and it must be a secret.

I truely like the offer but I'm scared of betraying my neighbor by banging his wife. I'm still thinking about it.

On workers salaries, You lied.

On assumption of office, Aketi inherited 7months salary arrears from his predecessor, Mimiko. He has cleared 6 months so far and still paying the current salary as and when due. He's also paying 30k minimum wage.

Secondly, Even Oshiomhole lost Edo State to the PDP in the Presidential Election. So that's not a new thing.

Congrat Akeredolu for your experimental achievement as been described in an explanatory manner by your media agents. Well done!!!! However, you're still a failure for ignoring RUGIPO which is rightly established in your hometown...Kudos working Governor!!! Anyway, I wish you the best in your forthcoming primary's...your work'll definitely speak for you I know...���


OndoFirstBorn:
1. For any serious government who is interested in the general well being of its citizenry, the first and primary area of concern is how to ensure prudency, accountability, transparency and block leakages as such will enhance good governance. Little wonder the Akeredolu-led administration upon assumption of office put in place appropriate legislative frameworks for Public Finance Management system even when the laws had remained outstanding for so long as previous administrations never found it expedient or important. Four key legislations were enacted and signed by the Governor. These are (i) Ondo State Public Finance Management Law, (ii) Ondo State Fiscal Responsibility Law, (iii) Ondo State Public Procurement Law, and (iv) Ondo State Public Audit Law. The efforts of the Governor must have accounted for the inclusion of Ondo State as one of the beneficiaries of the performance –based grant component of the World Bank-assisted States Fiscal Transparency and Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) programme recently.

2. Within 3 years, Governor Akeredolu has done what many thought was practically impossible.Unprecedented massive infrastructural developments in Ondo State .

23. Rehabilitation of the deadly Iwaro Oka hill.

24. Construction of Police road, Ore and Ore Interchange flyover on the Shagamu-Benin Expressway to ease traffic for those traveling from the South-West to the South-East and Abuja.

25. Rehabilitation of Sabo Road, Akure.

26. Construction of a new office complex for Ondo State Internal Revenue Service.

27. Construction and flattening of the dreaded Oke-Alabojuto hill and rehabilitation of Ikare township roads.

28. Work is also ongoing on the construction of 50km road linking Araromi seaside, Ondo state to Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State.

29. Signed into law, a contributory health insurance scheme which enable all classes of people in the state access to affordable health care services.

30. Governor Akeredolu also facilitated the presentation of 40 imaging medical items to the state medical village by the People's Republic Of China.

31. Distribution of medical equipment and consumables worth Six Million Dollars ($6M) among all the hospitals in Ondo State. This was achieved by the administration’s ingenuity leading to partnership with Medshare International.

32. Massive Renovation of the various Primary Health Care centres in all the Wards of Ondo State.

33. Recruitment of over 500 health personnel including 200 medical doctors

34. On Agriculture, the government reactivated the afforestation projects in Ondo State. 10,000 Hectares of the state afforestation projects sited at Omotoso in Okitipupa local government. The projects is worth N20billion and it has employed over 1,000 youths of Ondo state. This is a Public Private Partnership with Weewood, a Chinese company.

35. Under Akeredolu, Over N210, 000, 000 have been disbursed to farmers co-operative societies in the state, under the FADAMA Scheme.

36. Over 1,000 metrics ton of fertilizers have been distributed to farmers in Ondo state for enhanced farming.

37. The Akeredolu's administration has also mobilized 35,000 farmers for the Anchor Borrowers Scheme.
38. Procurement of top quality tractors to aid farmers’ productivity.

46. Today, from a horrible inherited less than N800 million monthly chart, Ondo State has recorded sustained growth in its IGR since 2017. As of January 2020, the total IGR of the state was not less than N2 billion.

47. Recruitment of over 500 graduates into the State Internal Revenue Service.

48. Even though Akeredolu never considered prompt payment of workers’ salaries as any achievement, the current economic downturn across Nigeria and the globe at large has made it imperative to consider it a huge success. He is simply a better manager of resources.

49. Unlike the usual practice and strategy of “winner takes it” which had characterized our political sphere, worthy of note is that all the political appointments made by Akeredolu for the past 3years are such that cut across ethnic, religious, social and political divides. This is an uncommon feat in the history of the state. Interestingly, the Governor still extends his right hand of fellowship to his haters who are naturally jealous of his accomplishments.

50. Since the truncated administration of the late Chief Adekunle Ajasin in 1983, Ondo State under the leadership of Akeredolu again retraced her steps towards industrialization with the establishment of Ondo/Linyi Industrial Hub in Ore. The hub has the following industries with close to 2000 workers:

*Cassava to ethanol factory which produces 300 metric tonnes of ethanol per day;
*The Medium density fibre (MDF) plywood factory;
*The High density fibre board plywood factory;
*Paper production factory
*Win-win Textile Industry
*Dongfeng Trucks Assembly plant
These factories are not only important to the economic drive of Ondo State but Nigeria as a viable investment destination under the Buhari/APC led Federal Government. The Governor is in no doubt an asset to the All Progressive Congress big family and the people of Ondo State. So far, Akeredolu holds all the aces!

@Prof., thanks for your meaningful and positive contributions on this platform...However, I have a question to ask you please on my recent research proposal I submitted to my Professor...Have submitted up to three Proposals to him based on his research areas but his response has been so low about it because he wanted me to work related to microfluidic and I have no sound knowledge about the fabrication aspect. I only submitted a proposal as related to polymer nanocomposite, which is also his research area aswell...Kindly advice please..Thanks.





wip7:
What if his proposed Phd is environmental toxicology?

Anyway, I understand the angle you are coming from but I must say that is not universally true.
I have been both internal and external jury member selected to review applicants for PhD funding, specifically I have reviewed funding application for EU MSCA.

There are set of criteria attached to each funding, applicants will be evaluated against each of the criteria. Each funding body will have its own criteria for eligibility. At PhD level, full funding will tend to be awarded on academic merit, independent research output (publications in reputable journals and results communication), background skills (which you mentioned), laboratory and field skills demonstrated by the applicants, relevancy of the applicant proposal to the supervsor funding research area, there are also some that take into account financial background and other criteria such as gender.

So all above goes into consideration while evaluating the applicants for funding.

In February 2018, I was contacted to serve as external reviewer for applicant from Ethiopia who applied for a PhD Funding in Germany. Her undergraduate is mathematics, her master is health care management and she applied for Phd funding in Computational biology......after considering all the laid criteria for the funding and my personal experience... I voted and wrote positive note regarding her application which I believed the other reviewers did the same and she was awarded the funding.
