 Education › Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Topiipii(m): 6:06pm On Aug 12, 2016 |
adetola007:I am writing TOEFL on September 17th and GRE on September 29th. The registrations and dates are reflected in my accounts on the ETS websites for both tests. I have taken both tests before, the TOEFL has expired while my GRE score is still valid; I decided to register for another GRE in order to improve my AW score of 3.5 (Q & V are quite high) and because the difference in cost is almost negligible since I am getting 4 score reports with the new registration which will allow me to send both scores. sirRiddy is quite right, you should be cautious. I was too, so I decided to go in person to their office before I registered; they seem legit, but I will leave you to make your own decision as I can't assure you that they aren't using a stolen card as he said. |

I was hoping to see points backing the topic of this post, but instead nothing in the SUG president's speech indicated that the allegations are false; has he done any investigation to ascertain that the said person was lying and if so, what are his findings. The VC or better still, the school's P.R.O should be the ones doing the defending, not an SUG president who should be fighting for the rights of students. 41 Likes |

Ndifereke:The post quoted below is what happens all over the country bugzygee:Mind you, there is a boy in my SSS1 class who at the time, was older than this girl's present age (19) and who couldn't speak a word of English, the fact that you have not experienced it does not mean that it is not happening. All those schools do is just push them through the classes till they graduate. The teachers hardly even teach them, I still get very angry when I remember those days and what happens in this country. As a matter of fact, I had to go and forcefully call my students to the class from a farm where one teacher was using them as labourers (In A/Ibom, it's practical Agric instead of Agricultural Science as a lot of us know it), does anyone need English to do that. I also remember seeing Pry. Sch. pupils in the farm instead of the class working for one teacher or the other, the whole situation is pitiful, you had to witness it to believe it. |

Ndifereke:I was hoping you wouldn't say this as I intentionally left it out of my last post. I am telling you that I had students who would reply me in Ibibio after I ask them questions, the scenario is this: Me, interpreters being the students who at least can communicate in passable to decent English and then the student. My question as well as the student's response goes through the interpreters everytime, sounds unbelievable isn't it? As to this student, she even lives in a place where there are less English/Pidgin 'speakers' than A/Ibom meaning that her case is worse, now add two years during which I'm certain she did not speak the language (assuming she understands a little before her captivity) what do you think will happen? I lived in Enugu between 1995 and 1998, my sisters for a 2yrs and 8months; despite the fact that we were all born and had schooled in Lagos before we left, they had trouble speaking and understanding the language when they got back (they had never spoken English in their life before leaving Lagos other than the compulsory alphabet and spelling learnt in school, we speak Yoruba at home and at all times). The reason for this is that they spent a little more than two years speaking English/Pidgin in Enugu (82 Div., Abakpa Cantonment), even to our dad once they picked up the language. I fared better because I was already reading and writing in Yoruba, continued reading and writing and also took Yoruba in school which they did not. Now compare my sisters who were native speakers to this lady who probably understood a few words before her abduction and tell me if she would have fared any better. The fault is not that of the students, it is as a result of one the most backward educational system currently in existence. I would have loved to create a thread where former NYSC members can share their experiences, but I don't know if it will get the kind of traction I'd like; believe me you'd be shocked at what you'll read, even in the so-called 'Educationally Advanced States'. 1 Like |

Ndifereke:I am quoting you because your name indicates that you're either from Akwa-Ibom or Crossriver. I served in A/Ibom, Adadia in Uruan LGA and there were students who can't speak English at all, I taught three subjects one of which is Physics and during the exam they didn't know what to write (you're free to doubt this though, but there's only one Sec. Sch. in Adadia if you want to confirm). My point is this: they will sit for the exam because their results from the previous classes were padded in order for them to gain promotion, but they will not pass even with cheating most times because they won't be able to write anything meaningful (sitting for an exam and passing it are two different things); this is the reason we usually have massive failures in the rural areas. States like the one described above are referred to as Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) for a reason. 1 Like |

Wealthgang:Stop beating around the bush! I'm not Punch, neither am I a media house; the two sources quoted in the original post are well-known globally and the report was posted verbatim. Don't tell me I ought to go about doctoring original articles just so I can pander to the likes of you. I suppose telling you I merely copied the article would have saved you the heartache isn't it? P.S: Going by your your submission above, you read news on Nairaland without verifying if they're true or false. Why then do people ask for 'sauce' on this site? Rule 8 exists for a very specific reason. |

As for you reporting, don't tell me I've hit too close to where it hurts; the scheme you're running is no different from the HYIPs recently banned by seun on Nairaland, maybe I should even do the reporting myself. |

Wealthgang:Apart from the obvious lack of home training which you have obviously displayed through all your posts here, your choice of words portray you as a child or a grown man who has refused to grow up mentally; the original post had two links (a fact you can't deny even if you tried)! Common sense should have told you that: (i) The poster read the same news on several websites (ii) You should have done a google search at least if you want to go into a blind argument over inanities. So, if anyone is to follow your deluded reasoning, the fact that there was no mention of Panama in the article makes it invalid or the ship non-Panamanian, it appears you have comprehension issues too. I'd recommend you take the GRE/GMAT (doubt if can pass anyone though) since you claim to be a graduate of engineering in order to improve your comprehension skills, TOEFL/IELTS won't do it and years of education in Nigeria which includes writing WAEC/U.M.E haven't done it either. You even lack the basic reasoning skills that come naturally to 'engineers', referring to a post aimed at clarifying a point and made 2 hours and 20 minutes before yours as 'rushed'. I suggest you stick to your business of scamming innocent/desperate wealth seekers, I hope that's going on well for you at the moment? |

An abandoned oil tanker has washed up on the shores of Liberia in west Africa, prompting an investigation – and speculation over the fate of the ship’s crew. The Tamaya 1, which is registered in Panama, ran aground on a beach near Robertsport earlier this week, apparently without a crew or lifeboats. On Thursday the Liberia national police and bureau of immigration inspected the ship, days after local residents first discovered it on the beach. The 64-meter (210ft) tanker’s last known position was on 21 April near Gambia and Senegal, according to shipping site Marine Traffic – well north of Liberia along the west African coast. The ship was en route to the Senegalese port of Dakar, according to the site. The Liberia national police and the Liberia maritime authority did not immediately respond to a call for comment. “Our best bet is that the vessel’s owner might have gone broke and had no money to pay crew members,” a source at the nation’s port authority told the Liberian Daily Observer. “And therefore, the crew abandoned the ship.” Asked about why maritime authorities had responded so slowly to the mystery of a crewless oil tanker, the source said: “Robertsport does not have a seaport.” After several days beached on the shoreline, the ship was reportedly looted and vandalized and speculation was rife that pirates or a fire had caused the crew to abandon the ship. Since investigation began, police have tried to keep civilians away from the ship. Although tankers were once prized by pirates off the African coasts, the long decline in oil prices combined with a sustained military campaign have reduced hijackings. Off west Africa, piracy has been largely held south of Liberia, in the waters off Nigeria and Ghana. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/06/liberia-abandoned-oil-tanker-tamaya-1-washed-ashore |
