Sure.

The poster with Admitwithschola on pg 3 had given you a candid advice. Don't get swayed by other Nlanders with their toxic utterances.

Forget about Australia because its almost impossible to get admission there. Even those with first class are getting it competitive to get scholarship.

I will only advice you to go to Europe if you wanna study and return to Nigeria Immediately. Europe is bleeped up and life after study get as e be in most countries there. About Asia, just forget it if you are planning to stay after studies.

Back to USA, go and prepare to GRE and write TOEFL/IELTS. The better your result, the higher your chances to get full funded position.

What's your prospective course of study?

Gentleman you are not inferior. If you have distinction in PGD and you have 8.0 IELTS score please apply for the NLNG.I am 95% sure you will be selected

Dear Op,

First, I will implore you to neglect negative comments from some posters here. Such comments are nothing and don't worth your time. Nevertheless, you can take their negative vibe as a source of motivation to achieve your desire.

With that being said, there is no rule that says you can't get foreign scholarship with a 2'2 degree. What you need is information, motivation and mentorship. Yes, mentorship! You need experience of people who have achieved such feat with your class of degree.

There is no need flogging on the issue of First Class or 2:1 here as you seem to have the know-how of some of the major scholarships on offer in Nigeria. But it will be useful if you can give some details on your course of study, and the state where you hail from. Who knows, you might be eligible for NDDC scholarship that is open to 2:2 graduates.

On the USA part, one of the earlier poster gave good information that would be useful to you. You need to ace GRE like nobody's business. Your performance in it would cover for the shortfall in your CGPA. You might also look at Netherlands, Belgium and possibly Denmark. Mail faculty staff with research interest as yours and state your desire to work with them and that you would want to be considered for funding. You never can tell how it will turn out.

I wish you success in this pursuit. Cheers.

Bro, I understand your pains. At least, I think I do.

Now, you said you graduated with a 2:2,. That's not the end of the world.

Firstly, google for websites that post scholarships which fit your profile. After this, subscribe to several of them. You should be able to get notifications from them in your email regularly.

Try to get relevant research or work experience for your program of interest. You can volunteer if you have the time and financial wherewithal for it.

Try and write the GRE and TOEFL and aim for very high scores. Even if you don't end up using them, just have them. Such high scores will boost your profile.

You can also try to apply for a Nigerian MSc and do very well. I mean....excellently, jaw-dropping well.

If you are a biological/health sciences person, you can send me a mail

All the best bro and do not let the past determine your future. It is well with you

Gokoyer0:
which country(countries) do you wanna go to study?

OkoyeA1:
Lol... I had a 2.1 + IELTS + very young age.

@whyteteeth



If you want to get a scholarship easily for 2.2 grade,
Your best bet is University scholarship.

Focus on usa, write GRE & Toefl, get Good scores, Get good recommendation letters from your lecturers,try & write a perfect motivational letter or state of purpose both are same thing.

Find schools for your particular course,Apply to top schools, average schools, above average atleast 4 schools, mix it,I will advice you tho to apply to average & above average schools.

Write to the schools graduate program, tell them your Qualifications, Write to your department graduate program coordinator, ask them about funding & scholarships, demand strictly for funding.

Apply to research universities, Funding, Assistantships are easy to get within such schools, look for the USA student thread follow it, you will learn a lot, look for the GRE thread on Education section, follow it as well, you will learn a lot.

In all, I wish you the very best of luck & have a nice life mate, Gracia!

czarina:
Sorry, old guy.


Hope you find the help you need

czarina:
Oh, tell that to the gods. When you were being "unserious" with your first degree because you "hated" it, you should have considered that someday, maybe someday, you'll find it useful.

You didn't and now you want the bar lowered for your sake? Who are you?

It's too bad to violent a minor but it's worst when it's a gay type of molestation.

I am a victim of one during my childhood days.
I think I was 14or at most getting to my 15 year old birthday.
These huge guy came to our house to check on our elder brother but unfortunately for him, he wasn't around.

He said he will wait for him cos during those days there wasn't telephone around that he should have used to call him that he's coming to our house or he's in our house already . it's almost 18years plus now cos I will be 33 on 14 April.

This despicable paedophile called me and was cuddling me before I knew it, he started touching my Virgin genitals telling/convincing me that I should not tell anybody.
He then brought out his dick and asked me to touch it and after touching it, he said i should suck it...
i did as he said cos i barely knew nothing then.

He then layed on the couch and asked me to put my dick inside his smelling anus.
i did as he said and was demanding me to be pounding him which i did while he was kinda screaming a lil bit....
at the end of it, when i brought out my dick from his rotten anus, all the room was smelling sh**t.

He brought out his handkerchief to clean my innocent dick that has now been defiled and disvergined in a cruel way and gave me one *Can juice to drink....

After that day up till now, I haven't seen him in our house or to even use my two eyes to see him anywhere and even now still, my brother or any of my family member is yet too know about it..

I felt as I didn't tell them then, then there's no need unravelling it now that it's almost 18 years plus that the event happened.

but thank God that that singular act in my early days didn't determine my sex choice in becoming a gay cos sometimes that can happen subconsciously in determining sex of one due to its early act on it...

I by now be must be around 56 years or more. though I have forgiven him for my peace of mind but at certain time during my uni days, I said to myself anytime I set my two eyes on him, I will arrest him for abuse of a child. but as they said, time heals it all.
I have moved on but sometimes the memories can be traumatising in the sense in seeing myself f**king my fellow man... This is a taboo,sacrilege and too bad for the memories.

So when I see it on the news that it happens to a minor again that does not know what they re really doing. .. It really hurt me.

Those things are the worst experience one can live with. I know what I am saying.

Please I beg You, say no to the offer.

Some job contracts in Dubai are exploitative and pay so little and You cannot change employer as your residence work permit is linked to your employer.
Remember You are spending and paying for things in Dirham.and not naira
Instead use your money and personally apply for a 3 month visiting visa to Dubai and UAE from nigeria.
You can use cheap manage manage airlines like
Air Rwanda or Air Maroc.

When You get there, find out the cost of living in different Emirates and then find a job which can pay your bills and rent and still give you savings.
When you get a job of your taste and choice, the company there will then file your employer visa and resident permit.

Visit the.Nairaland UAE thread for more information

OkaNaUbe:
Good. But I recommend Sharjah. It is cheaper to live, and general standard of living is fairer.

symbianDON:
you want to raise the suspension not the tires. It's not a good idea because it's going to affect the stability of the vehicle while in motion. Consider using SLIGHTLY higher wheels instead

Larryfest:
Don't get yourself worked up dude you are fine probably your instinct just keeping your heart safe for now till you meet your missing rib..Love this days get as e be sef.
