So how does he pay the subsequent ones?

The church should help him

He just gained admission so this is his first year.

The timeline from when he received the admission letter and when he's been given to pay the fees isn't just convenient at all! No time to save up...he only took a chance for the trials.

I'm sure he would save up for subsequent terms and sessions.

Tolexander:
The church should help him!

The church can't help now, when the guy starts collecting his weekly pay in €, the church will be expecting tithe and church development offering from him!

I'm not looking for people to point fingers and blame others. I know a million and one people I could do that to (maybe including myself too)...but I'm just sincerely looking for someone to come to this boy's assistance.

It's a relatively small church. The lad's just trying to put resources together from here and there. If the church could do it all alone then I wouldn't have brought this up here...

Thanks for your contributions so far.

Hi guys.

Got this from one of the youths in my church.

Really wish I could help. The deadline is just 2 days away

But then I thought of Nairaland. Just in case someone is touched to assist this young boy achieve his dreams. Who knows tomorrow?

It's as simple as A, B, C. You can make your CV "come alive" by creating a VIDEO version of it today.

Just record a short clip of yourself talking about your work experience and achievements, educational background, personality strengths, and other information that might enhance your chances of being considered by prospective employers and host the video on www.mploy.com.ng where these employers can search for you (it's like LinkedIn with a video option)

For freshers without proper work experience, the advantage of creating a VIDEO CV is that you can "sell" yourself and use the video to convince employers about your career interests, skills you have acquired so far (even if not in a proper work environment), industrial training or internship experience, communication and confidence level, etc.

Also, technical professionals can physically show off their projects/achievements
e.g.
- a Chef can use the video to show off his/her skills in the kitchen (or his signature meal)
- a Scientist can show off his/her latest invention with the video CV
- Corporate professionals can talk about outstanding accomplishments on their jobs
- Other pertinent information that will highlight your professional dexterity...

Create one today for FREE and host it on your profile on www.mploy.com.ng and let employers come running after you.

This is the latest innovation in CV creation. Don't be left behind!!

You can send an email to info@mploy.com.ng should you require additional information on the portal.
