@Samnoah, sorry o, no be me cause am o, suppose say I dey do runs na Range Rover Sport I for dey use like Mack IV. Anyway reschedule it to Benin or Ghana (if u have GRE). You can ride with me on any weekend. 2mao na Cotonou I dey go. Fix and holla me

Where is godG? U get that package with me.


Lol @ exam coordinator for Africa.... Got more miles than a 1972 SEAT... That is what I drive

Those chinese are worse + they have money, It is not unusual to have a 'flyer'(the name they are called) travel from 3000 miles to another region within China to take the test.... Beijing and Shanghai don cast, I don't even want to get started on India, they also have a national culture of corruption, not unlike Nigeria.





Anyway, Sorry to those affected, Register to test @ Cotonou, Benin Republic. You need description of the centres, ask, If u follow those mumu centre address for the admission ticket, bros u go suffer.







Anyway, My wakawaka has carried to nearly all centres in Africa. What am I ?

The fact as far as examination integrity cannot be guaranteed, Nigeria will never smell another TOEFL or GRE centre, It is so worse that the whole system stinks, TOEFL and GRE mercenaries is a potent part of the Nigeria Labour force (Thousands of young men and women are involved). The examination supervisors or auditors as we call them are as corrupt as the centre they supervise.
The reward for corruption is high, that's why another centre cannot hold its integrity, TOEFL pays centres $25 per test, runs pays as high as 100 to 150k per test, They become millionaires in a matter of weeks.
First Logic was the most trusted in Nigeria and of the most trusted in Africa, they had live CCTV feedback to Prometric and it still did not stop them from cheating. Nigeria, China and India give ETS serious headaches and amongst them, Nigeria is the most expendable, 50% of them register with Scam cards anyway.

@Idalex
I did not get your PM, resend it.

@dolapobello1
Don't disturb yourself, that TOEFL and GRE centre will be gone for a long time, I can categorically tell you every Nigerian centre perpetuates exam fraud. And last thursday @ First Logic 10 people out of a total of 15 test takers were caught impersonating on the GRE. The prometric examiners were shocked.


@UNIXlover

Put your TOEFL in Benin or try to read my previous posts on this thread.

For guys interested in testing outside Nigeria. I'll try to list centres outside Nigerians that are close by anyway.


If u live in the South(West),

Your closest TOEFL centres are in Cotonou

ESCAE School of business and administration, PORT NOVO, Benin Republic.
EPS La Cite University, Cotonou
American Cultural Centre, Cotonou.
(Dates are available every Saturday and sometimes Friday from Nov 16th to January).
Refer to Bigfrancis21's post on how to register or reschedule. (The main thing u need is a debit card configured for Online/Internet Banking with at least a balance of $160 or its Naira equivalent).

* For those who want to go to Ghana, this is especially advisable for those who want to write their GRE too

West African Examination Council(WAEC) Centre. *mind you Corporate headquaters not examination hall, many have missed their exams this way.*

Ghana International School
Linear Assessment Test Centre
Educational Advising Centre(Kumasi).
Dates are available till January, The reg fee for Ghana is however $165($5 more than Benin), prepare accordingly


Cote D'ivoire - Why would you want to go there? Mapouka dey hungry u?.


@Ashigolo, Safe Journey, when you are in Ghana, PM me, I go there most weekends nau with my pple. I might just buy u a plate of Banku with Fish.



Love to da house.

@ Graviton

Try printing your exam ticket, your centre name reads 'CLOSED', whether you will test this weekend or not, I cannot say but all Nigerian centres have been barred from further registrations and testing.
Keep us notified on this thread.

Dannylux: The idea of free and fair election in Nigeria is merely an utopic idea. After all is said and done, your vote wouldn't still count!

Utopic?? , Bros una well done. Its Utopian BTW

Khalessi: Throws gym membership card at him...was this pic taken before or after he stole don jazzy's song?

Posturing Mgbeke
Does your father have a gym membership? Oyinbo wannabe.

I'll try and summarize it, every other person should subsequently refer to this.
To minimize your Spending, balkanise or break it down, Instead of paying 13k with an extra 5k for fresh passport to YSG or more than that to ABC.


PHASE 1. Mile 2 - Seme .... From mile 2, take a bus going to seme, #300 or #400 on a bad day. You'll be dropped @ a ConOil filling station, from there take a bike across the border. #500 to #1,000.

IMPORTANT - Do not stamp your passport if you are not boxed up, first stamping will bankrupt you + you'll be required to take a yellow fever card(1k) and they will mark the Yellow fever card @ Benin side for another 1k bringing your total expense at that spot to over 4k. (You will wish you had paid ABC that 20k initially)
However there are bikemen that take u over the border for 500-1k without stamping, do not stamp if you can't afford it, it doesn't count @ the centre, embassy, anywhere.

PHASE 2. Seme - Aflao (Togo/Ghana Border).
(Amount spent so far 800-1400).
Now is a good time to change your money, My advice change 4k to CFA, that's about 12kCFA. Make sure you change at the Cotonou park, not before or after.
Take a Car going to Aflao for 5k to 6k CFA (#2k), adjust and plug your ears, you are going to be on the road for the next 3 hours.
Soon enough you'll be @ Hillacondji ( Benin/Togo) border, bring out 1k CFA out of your money and settle 500CFA at both sides and go back into your car.
Buy La Casera, Gala, Fried turkey( I relish that) you have an hour journey left.
Before you know it, you'll be @ Aflao at the Togo/Ghana border or Frontiere as the French call it.


PHASE 3.- Aflao(Togo) - Aflao(Ghana).
*amount expended thus far ( 900-1400 + 7kCFA(#2350). Roughly. #3700.

Go into the Car Park, you'll find cabs that cross you to Ghana side for 2k CFA. Pay and they'll take you to the other side. Pay a bike 500CFA to take you to Aflao car-park where you take Accra bus.


PHASE 4. Aflao - Accra

Now you are within Ghana, eye those big Ghanian behinds....sssshhhhh, hold yourself you're here for an exam.

*amount expended (between 4200-4700) naira.

Simply locate the nearest AC bus, pay him 12 cedis or 1000 naira or 3k cedis anf off you go to Accra.



PHASE 5 (Within Accra).
All buses stop @ Tudu, look for a Nigerian driver, promise to go with him on your return journey and ask for a hostel, there is one right there in Tudu , down the GTB street, Accra Poly road, cost 5 cedis per nite (less than 500 naira) per day. It is neat enough, I've stayed there.

PHASE 6 (Locating the centre)


Do not take a cab from tudu to the centre, I repeat do not take a cab. They will know you are a JJC and you will be billed accordingly.
Simply ask for TOTAL HOUSE, it is very trekkable. Linear assesment(GRE/TOEFL) is in that building and for people writing TOEFL in other centres in Ghana (Ghana International School and Waec). The Standard fare is 4-5 cedis, pls don't get scammed.




Conclusion - On the overall, a roundtrip to Accra with feeding and 5 bottle of beer and 1 Kasapreko Alomo( they make it there) should not cost more than 20k. I have tried it a gazillion times, ferrying numerous examination candidates across the border.

If u have any question, drop a comment here or a PM, it will be replied. BTW, keep praying for the restoration of TOEFL and GRE to Nigeria.


Goodluck.

....

@Original sly


I register International exams such as GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, SAT. I also process admissions into foreign universities.

Congratulations to Nomso and Kunlebal.


@godG, sorry about your withdrawn TOEFL, Afe Babalola centre is a cesspool of corruption. Your next TOEFL is on me, come to my office or PM me your details (as I promised on my other thread). You are a good guy and you deserve the best.


As for prospective GRE students, do yourself a favor and write in Ghana. Last time I checked they had Mon - Wed from now till December. Minimize costs by balkanizing your Journey.... You'll spend less than 7k to Ghana. Get hostels @ Tudu instead of an hotel, it will cut cost.


Finally, should Nigerian TOEFL centres be reopened, avoid Ibadan centres like plague, Trust me I know.

N E P O T I S M

This country is a Banana Republic.

No be bottle of beer I dey see for ground.

@Xandy 84


Did I say anything different? I did not even include numbers, just told you Aba. The next date is 24th Feb BTW. Register @ least 10 weeks before the date. The deadline is always 8wks before the exams for PBT but that is if seats are available.


*waiting for the 'Little Emperor' to hide Bigfrancis21 post and mine to boot

Ikomo I know, omugwo I'm familiar with, abeg which one is baby shower again?
You mean to tell me say u dey 'shower' baby wey u neva born, how is that even possible?

Sad, very sad.
Every journey you undertake in Nigeria is a dangerous enterprise, you fly - Wahala, by road - Surutu, you swim - Militants....

30 people not cattles, not rams and we had to hear it from AFP. Credible sources have been accusing the Nigeria Army of covering up killing of civilians and understating casualties.


Welcome to Nigeria, where nothing works.
