I went to FSB office to make enquiries, just to be very sure of the requirements(I won't be applying though, went with a friend who applied).Note the following:
If you plan on using your Neco,you won't get the scholarship.
If there is a mistake in any of your certificates especially date of birth or error in name in your Waec result,you won't get the scholarship.
If you choose Mexico or Russia,and you didn't do your undergraduate there(for PG students), you won't get the scholarship.
For those who are yet to apply,I won't advice you to choose Turkey or China(PG applicants).
If you are not very good in Maths,forget Japan
It is adviceable to go through the courses your choosen country is offering because if you choose a course that they ain't offering,you are O.Y.O.
For those applying to Japan(SSCE holders),make sure you want to go read Engineering there if not O.Y.O.
Make sure your birth certificate is from NPC if not you won't be nominated.
Have a great week house#cheers

Thank you for the enlightenment. Please why would you advice PG applicants to not choose Turkey or China?

I sense bias in this post. I see it as a deliberate attack on the consumption of beer. If you had preached moderation on all things to boost savings, I probably would have enjoyed the post. The post appears as if it only beer that men spend 'heavily' on

This op can lie sha. I can't see anything striking about the resemblances

Whatsapp is getting more interesting day by day. I'm waiting for a day when whatsapp will start supporting sending/uploading of PDF and document files before I uninstall BBM

Okay

Eeyaaa

Yes, we are so sorry, former president Alhaji Shehu Shagari. On behalf of other Nigerians, I, Tunde Fagbenle, humbly offer our unreserved apologies for our collective folly in misrepresenting your regime of 1979 to 1983 as the limit of rottenness, of brigandage, and of kleptomania any country can suffer, and the worst Nigeria would ever have. What folly!

How could we have known, Mallam Shehu Shagari, that a few decades down the line, precisely 28 years later, a government will come that will make a saint of yours, one that would make all the stealing your team (nay, not you) was accused of look like petty-thieves?
Incidentally, and sadly so, every government we’ve had after the one that overthrew your government – civilian or military –have struggled to outdo each preceding one in the degree of treasury looting and of emasculating the country! And I should list them: General Babangida’s; General Abacha’s; Chief Obasanjo’s; Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua’s; and lastly, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s, the one that takes the cake of whom I speak! I have deliberately left out one or two – Chief Ernest Shonekan’s and General Abdulsalami’s – not because they were any cleaner but because they were both too brief (only months) to count, whilst the former, indeed, was deemed null in the eyes of the law!

We called you all sorts of names, Mallam. We, especially, the “Southern” press, looked upon you with loath. We said what happened in your government was because you were a “malla” – the derogatory way those of the Hausa/Fulani stock were called by the foolish ones —; we said it was because you did not have a university degree; we said you were too old and inept; we said many other things against your humble and good-natured self. We branded and hounded your “main men” – the Umaru Dikkos, the Uba Ahmeds, the Adisa Akinloyes, the Joseph Wayas, etc.

O, yes, I remember! We, Nigerians, rejoiced and hailed the military junta that overthrew your government – incidentally, headed by ‘one’ General Muhammadu Buhari – when, Gestapo like, it stretched its tentacles all the way to Britain to kidnap Dr. Umaru Dikko, almost succeeding with getting his drugged body crated onto a plane to Nigeria to answer charges of looting our treasury!

O, yes, I remember! That Buhari’s military government rounded up most of your Ministers and even some politicians in the opposition party and angrily sent many of them (through ‘arrangee’ tribunals) to hundreds of years jail terms each! Still we clapped to show our support for the military “cleansers”, demonstrating the depth of our repulsion with your ousted government.

You would then understand, dear Alhaji Shagari, when fate gave us what our hearts had always yearned for: a President from the minority Niger Delta, young, and a degree holder – not just an ‘ordinary’ graduate but a PhD to boot.

Isn’t there an adage that says one should always be careful what one prays for lest one gets it – in abundance?
But, Sir, how could we, in our wildest dream, have thought that the day would come when those hopes, those expectations, would turn to ashes before our very eyes? How could we have known that it was possible for some people to come into power and get so drunken by it, throwing all caution to the wind, going on the rampage of the national treasury and raping the country with reckless impunity? Yes, that young president said it all: he didn’t “give a damn”!

We are now waking up each day to fresh reports by the EFCC of billions of dollars (you heard me right, US dollars, not just naira) that have been pillaged by all manner of characters in the corridors of power. Mind-boggling figures that defy reasoning. Anyone and everyone that had the slightest connection to those in power partook of the grand bazaar that was the country’s treasury whilst the country ails with death-trap roads, with ludicrous rails, with ignominious power supply, with pitiable hospitals that kill rather than heal, with public schools that are public shame, with citizenry that are dying of poverty in the thousands each passing day!

But nothing beats the revelation of the billions of dollars that reportedly went through the hands of the National Security Adviser – NSA, Sambo Dasuki, a retired military officer and supposedly a prince of the revered Sokoto caliphate. Under the guise of superintending the purchase of arms and weaponry to combat the Boko Haram terrorists, this scoundrel heartlessly embarked on a stealing and booty-sharing spree, turning his office to a Dispensary for all manner of personal and political greed. It didn’t matter that the fighting army had nothing to fight with; it didn’t matter that our poor soldiers were sent to certain death in battlefield, and those that flee, to certain prospect of death sentence for desertion.

The more is found of the grand larceny, the more still exists to be uncovered! As Wole Olaoye, columnist with TRUST newspaper says, Nigerians have to steel themselves for more revelations of the stealing that took place. Steel ourselves before the stoning of those that stole our commonwealth begins! Maybe that is why a judge trying one of the many cases says it is in the interest of the accused to be kept in “protective custody” and not to be granted bail, lest they get lynched by a mad public whose sons have been sent to their untimely death!

By a curious twist of fate, the country has come full circle and, once again, we have the same man, yes, that army general that toppled your government 28 years ago, but whose desire to rid the country of corruption was rudely aborted in a coup by a permissive and complicit military junta. General Buhari (retired) is back in power as a civilian president.

So you can imagine what must be going through President Muhammadu Buhari’s mind. The country is rotten through and through, with no clean spot to stand. But if even half of our stolen wealth can be recovered, and structures and institutions can be strengthened enough to stop further pillage and discourage the impunity of the past, then, indeed, the country may be on the path to recovery and development.

Before then, once again, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, we are sorry; yours was not the limit. And that’s saying it the way it is!

as per her bf or

lol...na you know o. I was the only one with her at that time

parrotibaba:
Op it's called none of your business.

It was my business because if she had stumbled and got hurt, I would be the one to do the hospital runaround

I witnessed one funny incident of recent. A friend's phone rang from a distance. She had to run in the direction of the phone's location to the extent of almost stumbling, just because she didn't want to miss the call. She didn't consider that the caller could call again or she could return the call after the miss. I've observed that this attitude is common among phone users that I know. Is the attitude normal? I'm thinking we should take it cool when our phones ring to avoid getting injured.

Dherryn:
Oh my, so dre r still many Otondos in dis state. Hmmm. Aniwaiz, i wish u all gudluck but dnt b surprised dat even after passing d governor's test, d response u'l get is......''congratulations, we'l get bak to u'. Only to wait for years and not get anythn. Well, a peice of advice, if u must blow ur 10k, start making plans to get attached to a commissioner so ur money wont be wasted. Imagine! Private sectors will say HND holders shudnt apply for a job. Govt wey suppose help sef still dey discriminate. Itz only in Nigeria.

Good advice, but I think everyone already knows this

Estharfabian:
...I keep on saying this...even if she walked around nâked, u got no fücking right to rápe her! nothing justifies that..

Really sad story BTW....[/font]

Of course he's got no right to ràpe her even if she walks around nàked, and that's why government will send him to jail if he is caught, but jailing him won't eliminate her trauma. So I'll advice that she shouldn't walk around nàked.

raayah:
Yes nairaland men would because an educated woman (in nairalands opinion) is not submissive.

They want a woman who is uneducated and a woman who depends on them, so that she can't run away when they start being abusive.

In real life, people marry who they fall in love with.

See as this sister vex speak for nairaland men, I fear o. You for allow make we talk our mind na. Anyways there is strength in your attitude sha. You go fit stand up for your man well well in times of controversy.

Brownzola:
Hello
mam, let me use this medium to introduce this solution to u. I have used it and it worked for me. Pimple per se is the accumulation of excess fat or bad cholesterol in the blood vessel. It is internal disease most of the time. All u need to do is reduce to the minimum the amount of fatty food u take. Try and concentrate ur meal on fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water. If u can do all this watch ur self before and after a month u will thank God.

In addition to this, you can avoid rubbing your face with sponge when taking your bath. Avoid touching your face unnecessarily too.

Interesting one about chemotherapy, but the discovery as pointed out by the write-up is hard to believe

Well done op, good points you've stated upstairs. Why not try to include credible references so that the points can be more genuine. I guess you own that blog, I think extending credible references to the articles there will make them more scientific.

Wow! A counter write-up. This one too should be moved to the front page
