Politics / Re: Bashir El-Rufai 2 Uba Sani: You're an Incompetent Gov Who Always Sleeps In Abuja by walex25(m): 8:21pm On Mar 30
It is quite evident that the immediate past governor and Uba Sani are not in good terms.

You can tell from the series event that happened in Kaduna, but Elrufai chooses not to visit.

This particular guy is troublesome. I think El rufai has fallen out with Uba Sani

Business / Re: El-Rufai Launches $100 Million Afri-Venture Capital Company by walex25(m): 2:34pm On Dec 04, 2023
Looking at many people spewing rubbish. If a company is valued at 100 million, does that mean the founder must raise the whole equity?

Out of sheer hatred, some won't even read the entire story before jumping to criticize.

From experience, I will tell you, if its not more than 2-3weeks from starting date you should go ahead. I had same experience with University of Exeter, they threatened to withdraw the visa. Someone advised me to go ahead and I did, and nothing happened. I am even done with the programme now.

Surprisingly, a lady from Bangladesh started almost 2 months after resumption.

Sometimes they only threatened for reasons beyond one comprehension.

harley4:
Actually,the resumption date for the University was 11th September, when I requested for more time, I was given a week (18th sept). When I wrote them about the situation of my VISA today, they advised me to defer my admission till next year.

Hello

You won't need a TB test

Your final return is less than 6months

You have lived in the UK before then and it isn't a requirement there

Ensure you put a cover letter stating why you didn't supply any TB certificate plus your stamps to show entry and exit and refer to them in your cover letter

Your cover letter should have statements like this:

Guidance on Tuberculosis tests for visa applicants states that "You will not need a TB test if any of the following apply: you lived for at least 6 months in a country where TB screening is not required by the UK, and you’ve been away from that country for no more than 6 months"

Following this, I have lived in the UK from xxyyy to xxyy on an ABC visa/permit, I briefly visited Nigeria from xxyy to xxyy and returned to the UK. I final moved home from xxxyyy. As at the date of my application I have only spent xyz weeks/months in Nigeria and therefore is exempt from doing a TB test

This is just a draft and I tried to keep it simple and not technical

Cheers

Please @duchess90 kindly reply this my inquiry.

Thank you

walex25:
@duchess90,

Please, I need your take on this. I stayed in the UK for about 1.5 years and I came back in May this year. However, I am applying for a visa in August. Which means I do not need to present TB Cert. But the problem is, I made a quick 2weeks visit to Nigeria in February before my final return in May. Therefore, counting from May is below six months while counting from February is above 6 months.

Please, considering this factor, do you think I can still apply without presenting TB cert.

Thank you

Hello

1. Tb test is valid for 6months so should be expired by now

2. If he spends less than 6months in Nigeria he won't need it

3. He needs to address that in a cover letter and cite the dates he returned home and the guidance so the ECO sees that


Cheers

Hello house,
I am in a bit of pickle here. My passport will expire on 23 of Sept however by April I will be applying for the postgraduate visa (PSW). Meaning, at the point of my PSW application my passport will expire in five months.

Now my question is, can I apply PSW with 5 months left on my passport?

Thank you

Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by walex25(m): 8:48pm On Aug 19, 2020
I would suggest you start by grounding your self with basics. With a score like the one you posted, it simply means you haven't really understand much of the concept that the GRE is trying to test.
Personally, I will suggest you get Manhattan 1-6 to fully understand the quant section. You can also augment your preparation with the Officait Guide by GRE. Additionally, you can watch few Magoosh videos in case you are having trouble with some of the topics. All these materials can be found online.
For Verbal on the other hand, you need to memorise GRE vocabularies, try "Barron's 333 most frequent GRE words. This can also be complemented with Magoosh 1000 words, if you have the time. Kaplan seems to be a good material for RC. While Barron has a well defined strategies for SE and TC. In addition, GRE verbal guide will also help.

Lastly, you need a lot of practice. Given the recent debrief by test takers, the quant section is becoming more hard and advanced.

God bless

Health / Re: COVID-19: How Long Can Nigeria Be On Lockdown? by walex25(m): 7:45am On Apr 03, 2020
GeoAfrikana:
We can't survive a month of lockdown. Less than 48hrs and people are already complaining and sneaking to open their shops.

The reason isn't because we lack resources to lockdown for a month or more but because we lack compassion, selflessness and empathy.

I'm sure if I offer a giveaway of 2k here, some people with 10k in their account will still ask. Many wealthy people aren't encouraged to do charity because they're almost certain that it will end up in the hands of some unneedy but greedy and discontented people.

When God has blessed you, please bless yourself and stop hustling peanuts with poor people. Please learn to be contented.

Let the little drops of charity get to the real peasants.

My Oga you couldn't have said it any better. The other day, I think on Monday, a popular Facebook user called Mayegun was dolling out 5k for more than 100 people.

I was surprised to see someone I know very close posting her name and account number, begging for this hand out. Funny enough this person is worth more than 5million. She works in the bank. At least may be during some rainy day, this person wouldn't have nothing less than 500k in her deposit.

But there she was, begging amidst others that they need that 5k because they can't afford it. The simple truth, we lack contentment in this country. That's why you see someone steals more than what three of his/her generation can use.

Politics / Re: Governor Zulum Surprises Obiageri Mazi, Igbo Woman Teaching In Borno For 31Years by walex25(m): 4:58pm On Feb 08, 2020
Copied from Facebook.
"Mrs Obiagelli, woman in viral video with Borno Governor, gets promotion from class teacher to assistant headmistress

A level 12 class teacher, Mrs Obiagelli Mazi, who was encountered by Borno Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum 6:30 am on Friday, has been promoted to an assistant headmistress.

Executive Chairman, Borno State Universal Education Board, SUBEB, Dr Shettima Kullima conveyed the promotion on Saturday after his recommendation was approved by Governor Zulum.

Governor Zulum had during an outing 6:30 am on Friday to assess public institutions, encountered Mrs Obiagelli already at school, waiting for her pupils. The woman who hails from Abia state has been teaching for 31 years. Zulum met her at Shehu Sanda Kyarimi 2 Primary school under Jere local government education authority.

Overwhelmed by Mrs Obiagelli’s dedication, Governor Zulum commended and rewarded her with personal cash of N100,000 nearly three times her monthly salary of N35,000.

In addition, Governor Zulum directed executive chairman of Borno State Universal Education Board to review the woman’s civil service position, her qualification (which happens to be NCE) and recommend her promotion. 24 hours later, the SUBEB chairman contacted the Governor recommending Mrs Obiagelli’s promotion from class teacher to assistant headmistress. He said even though the woman was not a graduate her 31 years teaching experience and commitment coupled with an executive order by the Governor have earned her the promotion."

All corp member are paid the same allowance. However, just like other copper that are paid little stipend by the state Government where they were posted to, the medical doctors tends to receive more from the State or General Hospital where they were posted to. Some can receive as much as 60-80k depending on the state Government.
