tiaraLOVE:
Which brings me to the end of my story!

PS: My intention with this thread is not precisely to educate, there are so many threads on Nairaland that already do justice to the US Study abroad topic. But if you are a good reader, I am sure you must have gotten some valid information here.

I thought to share my story, in hopes that it encourages someone who plans to pursue an undergraduate/graduate program abroad especially in the USA.

Be strategic, start early, and have faith in God!

It's December 2022, and I have successfully completed my first semester.

It has been new, crazy (good crazy), and different. The educational system abroad is very different. Everything here is different. The opportunities I have enjoyed so far and the US system leaves me with a number of culture shocks.

It's like starting all over again, or being given a second chance to make your life what you want from it in a system that is supportive and cares about your growth.

All in all, I am happy I made the move. I am so grateful to God because honestly if it were based on my grades, or whatever else. I wouldn't be here. Which makes it a testimony!

Thank you for staying with me! (Big Smile)

Thanks for sharing.
I really gain and enjoy your writeup.
I have interest to start pursuing my PhD admission in Biomedical science in the US.
I graduated with 2.1 in my undergraduate, doing my Masters, done with course work and thesis, just for me to defense my thesis which is going to be early next year, I would have finished it but strike and 2020 break delayed the program. I am hoping to graduate with maybe 4.2/5.0 in my masters.
To increase my chances, I will love to write GRE exam. Any advice for me?

Peter Obi have really brought changes to the political campaigns, no more eating of roosted corn with the masses, no more eating with primary and secondary school students during campaigns. No more sharing of salts and small rice. Now, campaigns are based on issues, what will you bring to the table if you are voted for?.
This man need to be celebrated for bringing positive changes to political campaigns in Nigeria.

WilsonGideon1:
Good evening, please I need your help,I am a Master's student, I am through with my thesis but my final result is yet to be released. Nevertheless, I have checked all my results, I had A- 2, B- 11, C-1. Do you think I will be able to do PhD at any university of my choice ? Thanks

You are good to go.

This is the reason why Nigerians are hailing and clapping for the tinubu...

See how ...Lagos is so blessed. ...


Tinubu initiated it ,fashola,Ambode,and sanwo Olu all closely following in his foot steps

Was Tinubu the first Lagos state governor?
Was Lagos state not once a capital city of Nigeria?

PrettyBolu:
In 2014, bag of rice was below N10,000. As we reached December, the price rose to almost N10,000 which is normal for the price of rice to increase during December in Nigeria.

APC used this to campaign against Jonathan. How can a bag of rice be N10,000. Nigerians did not understand. APC felt the price was too low. 8 years later, a bag is over N40,000.

APC supporters don't still want to have sense. In 4 years, if you vote Tinubu, you will be buying a bag rice for N120,000.


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/rice-hits-n10000-per-50kg-bag-lagos-market/

A bag of foreign rice 50kg was #8,500 as at 2014, now a 50kg bag of local rice is now 40k-41k in Benin City. The one dey call foreign is #46-48k in Benin City

If this money was to be properly used, these states would have been wearing a new look.

Kobonaire234:
To build one of those type of refineries now would cost us one third of our foreign reserves.

Lagos tax revenue for 2021 was around 740 billion naira, which is about 1.7bn dollars. A new refinery of the kind we have wrecked would cost about 5-10 billion dollars.(Dangote's initial cost of his refinery was 9bn. dollars. He needed to borrow more money to get it up and running)

Plus tax revenue is used for other things. Lagosians won't like it if you spent their tax for a refinery.


Finally, it is not building a refinery, it is keeping it well working...and to pay for that, subsidy has to go so that fuel sells at a profit.

Are you a staff of oil company?
What about individuals owing the oil wells of the nation?

Kobonaire234:
No, but it won't cost less than 300 naira either.

Niger produces refined fuel at home, and for export, and it cost them N350 at the pump. Ghana does the same for over N600 per liter at the pump.

It costs money to refine fuel. Keep in mind that the components and materials and equipment in the refinery is not made in Nigeria...it is made abroad.

Niger and Ghana you are comparing Nigeria with, do they source their crude oil from their countries?

Kobonaire234:
Like you don't get it...NNPC imports fuel at a cost of N510 as at November and sells it at N140 to market...although it is as high as N180-210 in practice.

That means NNPC is spending about N360 at least to subsidisie one liter of fuel...and when you add that up, that is a large chunk of our budget gone.

At the end, we have to take loans to cover the hole.

And the cost keeps rising. In June 2021...NNPC was spending N261 to bring in one liter. By the middle of the year it was N367...and now it is N510.

Plus rising diesel costs...diesel is now close to N800 up from N400 last year....means that cost of transporting that fuel has gone up.

Either way the poor suffer.




And yes, you are immature. You keep on abusing me, calling me a liar, and calling me an oppressor, and refusing to back down. You are very immature. Better grow up. Abusing people online cannot get you far. Thank you.


Now that is all I have for you. If you don;t get it...sorry.

If we are refining the fuel here, will the landing cost still be #510/litre?

Kobonaire234:
The sector has lost money selling fuel at cheap prices all year round. Losses have to be recouped.

The thing you Nigerians need to get is that you cannot sell something that should cost N200 and more at N180 and below, and expect miracles.

Even NNPC that brings in fuel at above N250 and sells it below N200, how long is it going to sustain that? And guess where the money comes from?

If the money budgeted to repair the refineries were properly used and our refineries are working optimally that we don't need to import fuel, do you think we will still be talking of subsidy removal? Will price of fuel be high as this?

Election results will still come out from those LGAs. Thousands of votes.
It's well

Some fuel stations sells premium motor spirit within the range of #257-#260/litre in Benin City.
The Government of the state have refused to setup taskforce to control the price.

naijapips04:
It is a useless strategy. People see through the desperation. You have never visited a church before but because you are campaigning, you now visit them. It shows the type of person this fraud is.

Is there any presidential candidate that is not desperate?
If they are not desperate, why are they going to states that they have not visited before? Has Tinubu visited Bayelsa state before? What brought Atiku from Dubai? Is it not politics. What made Atiku to visit Edo State, is it not for desperate campaign?
Someone said mosque is not used for political campaigns, I have stayed in the north, I have heard imams standing at the pulpit telling their congregations who to vote for. Is that not campaign in the mosque?

SeunTheOwner:
The reason why APC, PDP + their Junior LP should be sent packing.

Vote Wisely
Vote A.A.

Imagine having an AA Blood group. AA na better thing

AA blood group? Or AA genotype?

After today, no one will hear anything about this issue.
Just to expunge the figures from the budget without prosecution?
NDDC man that faint that time, is the case dead?

Only news from North Korea is missiles.
Are they planning to end the world?

One of the persons mentioned in this money laundering case is still a serving Governor.
The Sani Abacha son mentioned in this case is still enjoying life freely.
Part of the reclaimed money have been budgeted to do Lagos Ibadan express road: the repair of this particular road nor dey finish? If I am not mistaken, the project of this road have been appearing on annual budget of the nation for years now

Almaigaa:
We warned them, but them no gree hear word. They allowed IPOB terrorist to deceive them. We told them that, Obaseki is a bad person, he did nothing in his first tenure. Now he has turned on those that elected him.


Make una enjoy unaself. Obaseki, give them hot hot and back to back.

Mr know it all, was ize Iyamu better?

PlayerMeji:
Urchins do not understand the difference between logistics support and political support..

See as they are celebrating as if they have won.. Just watch out for this space when Wike eventually gives them the lowdown...

Wike was indirectly scolding Obi with that statement because when Obi was in power... He denied Labor Party the same use of such facilities he is today looking up to need....

Wike is incredibly wise/wicked... Urchins didn't know...

Nor go get headache ooo

Do they mean well for Nigerians and Nigeria?

Main roads to the venue of the campaign rally were blocked by crowd of people. There were serious holdup.
Edoites love Peter Obi.
Nobody care to know that Obaseki completed 6 years in office today.

ifihearam:
LOL Obi and obideints will labor in vain..Delta, Rivers, Edo are PDP states...especialy delta and rivers..they would rather die than lose it.

You have not been updated of the latest political standing.
2023 election results will shock people like you.

Confirmedzombie:
This man is a disgrace, a waste, pretender, scammer,

God will not forgive those pushing this man to a doom.

After 2023, obi will never have any political value.

Very useless tribalism bigot. Ipob pushing this man to a doom.

Bloody terrorists sponsor with no idea or track record and he wants to lead sane persons like me.

Ewu congo

You miss road?
You need better slap wey go reset your brain?
You think others are foolish like you?

PastorOku:
Ezenwa, what was institutionalized was the Social Investment Program, not Npower. Npower is just a component of the Social Investment program of the Buhari Administration. Even though it has been moved to the ministry. By institutionalizing the Social Investment Program, every successive government are compelled by that act to implement social programs but doesn't have to carry the name, Npower. Also, by that act, Npower now has a solid cover for Stream II.

Let's not deceive ourselves, N-power is going with Buhari government.

Owoino:
I will donate 500k to IPOB if their candidate PETER IPOB OBI wins any state in the 2023 presidential election.
Sometimes I wonder how a group of people can be so delusional.
Elections are not won through miracles or through social media.

You get reach #100,000 for your account?
I will remember you after the election.

Think9ja:
Peter Obi is a criminal and must not be allowed near our treasury.

Bola Tinubu is not just a criminal, but he's also medically unfit to be president.

Atiku is the ideal man for the job
Atiku 2023

Atiku is not a criminal?

MissW:
Did you click on the green botton of their questionnaire?

Yes but it's not proceeding from there. Just remain stationary.

MissW:
You didn't see "work nation" as one of the Title? It's in between "FAQs" and "View Test Result".

I have seen it now but under Eligibility, I have not been selected yet.

I have not been selected for the Worknation yet.

ezenwaez:
It is on your dashboard if you are under Npower batch C stream 1 programme.

I can't find the assessment test on my dashboard.

N-Power should extend this program by not less than 6 months. Other batches got 2years and 4years respectively.
