DTOBS:
Thanks boss!

I later paid with my GTBank USD Debit Card.

The issue I was facing before was the transaction fee which I was not putting into consideration, so I just had to fund the card with above what is needed and it worked.

Preferably do it to US equivalent as the US has more universities. Evaulate both and notify WES when and who to send the results to. If you are not looking at scholarships, then it means you are very rich or you have a wealthy guardian/parent to sponsor you through school.

Gerrard59:
You only need GRE fee, TOEFL fee, WES fee, SEVIS fee, visa application fee and flight ticket. Aside the UK, most countries' universities' offer scholarships, and as you stated, they are competitive. Why shouldn't they be? Everyone loves good things, and good things don't come easy or cheap. Yu must work hard for them. In order to compete, you need to have a competitive profile. I would outline the profile of folks I know one-on-one and from a distance:

- First class in Biotechnology from a private university and MSc from a federal university in the south east who is pursuing his PhD in the US. Source of funding: Graduate Fellowship (very competitive form of sponsorship by US' universities).
- First class in Biotechnology from a federal university who pursues his graduate studies in the US. His first class was even celebrated on the front page sef.
- First class in Chemistry from a federal university, and I think should be done with his PhD in the US. Prior to leaving Nigeria, he taught GRE/GMAT to job seekers in Nigeria.
- First class in Petrochemical engineering from a state university now in Canada pursuing his MSc, and as we discussed would move to the US for his PhD. He was a math teacher prior to leaving Nigeria.

While all are first class (including others too numerous to mention), there are also those with 2.1 who get scholarship to study abroad. I know one who did and would complete his PhD this year. I know another in Germany who we communicated via Nairaland and should be done with his PhD sef. Had a 4.33 in Chemistry from a state university. Myself, I had a 2.1 and got scholarships when I arrived. My parents said either I get scholarships as 25 million would not be spent even though they had/have it. No be only me dem born.

To secure these scholarships, your profile must be competitive, as admission into grad school is very competitive. I thought competition would have reduced as Chinese students shy away from the US, but Indians don cover the gap. First class graduates are more likely to be sponsored because foreign universities judge us mainly based on our grades before other factors compared to how they would assess Americans, Europeans or Chinese. A Chinese grad with 2.1. from Fudan University has little to exhibit compared to a 2.1. from UNIBEN. To compete favourably against that Fudan grad, it is better to possess a first class.

My bro,it's well....

Simply because life's telling hard on you today doesn't mean you should give in...... Just like you said,move on and Keep striving hard....

Reminds me of how I toured Niger State and Abuja way back in 2016 all in the name of hustling.......Got my asssss kicked out by my sister who invited me over simply because I spoke against her kind of lifestyle which was irritating........

But these days,Personally,I don't really give a Fk about how many difficulties life may throw at me.......But one thing I keep on telling myself is that --no matter what,my tomorrow will definitely be better than todays.....

Johnson225:

I pray the Lord will help is all♂️

Women can be really funny at times and take frivolous things serious. My girlfriend came around to stay with me for a while, so she was kinda of expecting that we would celebrate Val or stuff but unfortunately I am low on funds cos I just settled some bills earlier this month.

After work today, I just bought only 1k palm wine because we enjoy taking it together, but I observed she was a bit moody. I just faced my front cos I had just 5k on me and I still have about 2weeks to go till the next pay day so I am being very prudent with it.

She kept making side comments about how other ladies would be receiving gifts from their boyfriends by now and other sarcastic talks. She lager opened up this night about how today is her worst val ever and it's more of a haters day for her. I told her to calm down, after all we have celebrated Val for the past two years very well so she shouldn't be upset about us not going out today. She insisted that it's not about us going out but I couldn't even get her fish or meat, I simply told her that I can't afford anything now and she's been giving me the cold shoulder.

natedroid:
I had a heated argument with a girl I've been seeing for a few months the other day. She called me, saying she was hungry. Typically, I would respond to such a request, but that particular day, my Opay was having issues. She then started accusing me, saying I wasn't taking care of her, despite the fact that she owns a fashion design shop and is financially independent. I told her that I'm only obligated to take care of her if she were living under my roof, and that she lives alone and her family is close by. She got angry and accused me of not loving her, even though I do give her some stipends like 10-15k from time to time. I responded that she has parents and was taking care of herself before I met her. If she is my wife then that's different.

My question is "are you obligated to take care of a girlfriend?

toujurs:
Life hasn't been fair to Nigerian men, we have lost alot.

We've lost P.O, Afcon, Grammy, and the economy has been harsh.

If a lady, could still, feel comfortable to demand for a valentine gift, with all this losses. Dump her!


She can never make a good wife.
