Where was this new checklist posted or updated?

receivd d mail by 2.21pm today having alrdy had an awesome interview by 7.30am.
eke AND others abeg respond

I know say you go smoke am!!! Nice one

Eke40seven:
Well, you know that feeling you get when someone said you ain't good enough for them and immediately you get someone quite better licking your feet just to embrace them.
Yes, that's just how I feel right now, I applied to similar course in Freiburg and TUM, Freiburg rejected outrightly, but TUM jus sent a letter that looks like a coated academic 'toasting' for me to accept their programme. The main thrill is, School for School TUM is better, Programme for programme, TUM is ranked about 52 in the whole world and Freiburg, 73 for same programme and the final icing on the cake, one will choose Munich over Freiburg any day. I have the option I have long sought after.
I didn't plan for this programme though, my docs got there way after deadline. I wrote their essay and motivation letter which I was given marks for, plus the grade on my transcript and was given admission without the normal interview which means the score was over 70.
I have always wanted an option and this is a good one.
Please, endeavour to always write a good motivation letter, it has its own effect and don't give up even when the letters haven't arrived yet, it could just be closer to you than you think as far as you have done your homework.
By the way, who here is heading down south to Munich?

Congrats Uncle Eke!!!!
I know you've already done your interview, so please update the house on how you plan to do the school/city/state swap oh!!!

hollaytan:
To all the royal bossness, pls your advice is needed.
My interview is on the 24th of this month, and my enrollment deadline is so close(1st of sept). Am thinking of requesting for enrollment extension from my school. I will like to know if this is very neccessary, If it is, should I make the request before or after my interview.
Thanks for ur anticipated response

24th of this month to 1st of Sept is roughly 5weeks, and people say the average time for visa processing is 3weeks. I think you shouldn't be bothered...

This is sad. This is wrong. And it's even worse to think that he'd likely go scot-free under the guise of (probably) being a minor

aguiyi:
hehehehehehehee , when a student proves to a teacher say man pass man no be by age.
further investigation may show that the teacher is interested in the girl and tried to bully or intimidate her not knowing her boyfriend is the baddest guy in the town

What is this one saying? Even if the teacher was interested in the girl (which a straight-thinking person shouldn't even infer in the first place), does it justify the action of that miscreant? Everyday, we continue to complain of what our society is turning into, hoping it will get better; but with people like you supporting ignominious acts like this.............you just took the light out at the end of the tunnel

mistabiola:
That's Nigerians for you

I'm just tired. Irritatingly indecisive.

Emekamex:
Who does this man think he is fooling?

What will you rather he does??
If he drives it, you'll call him a hypocrite. If he doesn't, you'll call him insincere... What do you really want?

barcanista:
The sham conducted by Saraki was narrowed to NE Senators. That means only APC NE Senators were allowed to participate. This is never so... The Full APC Caucus are meant to elect their principal officers or ratify the list of the leadership. The presiding officer have no right to set guidelines or modalities but to organise it and allow everybody to vote. The majority leader is the leader of the party caucus and not his geopolitical zone. This shouldn't even be a problem. Such logjam is happening for the first time in Nigeria

For all the bias I have noticed in most of your write-ups since your infamous ship-jumping, this thread is the most objective piece I have seen. Sadly, at this rate, APC will be dead by 2019...

Nigerian police and their gross incompetence! I know we're all human, but to rob for "over one hour, opposite a police station" while the so-called police men flee into hiding is clumsy, bungling and extremely inept. They now have the balls to show up after the deed has already been done. *spits*

Reminds me of those days in aluu. Robbers will raid your premises from flat to flat for hours with the police no where in sight only for the "men in black" to come later and arrest everybody in the compound...

All these our politicians know little or nothing about diplomacy!!



But our media houses are gradually going to the dustbin. How does this:

“I don’t know any of these media houses. So, I can’t talk.”
....... “I know what they want is money. Call me one of my aides to find something for them. I don’t have time for any comment.”

relate with this:

But for self-restraint, journalists covering activities at the National Secretariat of All Progressives Congress, APC, would have had a showdown with Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, who seemed ready to go physical with them.

These days, blogs give more reliable information than news outlets... And this is not endorsing the authenticity of blogs either.

kaypopps:
that is not true. you can credit your block account directly from the bank. request for form A , go along with your copy of passport data page, your nysc cert, your degree cert, your blocked account details, print the info for student visa on the german website because it shows that you should fund ur blocked account with a minimum of 7980 for student visa(that is the proof you need to show for the tranfer of the blocked money which is for ur lliving expenses),purpose of tranfer- lliving expenses for visa write a letter of the bank authorizing them to debit ur account for the equivalent naira of the euro you want to send. shikena . they will gladly tranfer it for you

When last did you (or anyone you know) try this and where does one request this form A from? Also, what bank does this or is it every bank?

I need any of these cars:

Toyota Camry 2000/2001
Toyota Corolla 2003-2006
Toyota matrix

Would it be possible on a budget of 600k-650k?

I'm seriously interested in this car and located in Abuja. Hope it will fly for 650k. What's your location And pics of the engine please.

What's your location? Serious buyer from Abuja. Will it fly for 680k?

olompa:
Good day house
please i am 26 and applied for visa to do a bsc course.
I need advice on how to convince the vo on the interview day why i am going for bsc instead of msc program
i need possible answers to question like, why are you going for bsc when you have one already
Thank u all

You are the one going for the degree. So ask yourself Why are you going for a BSc when you already have one?

great news!!

I'm in support of the death penalty in some cases, and where the constitution won't give us that, maybe we can get it extrajudicially ...

Galads:
Hello guys, I need sample of this letter from HOD/school as prove for proficiency in english as my HOD day fall my hand. Said he doesn't understand what kind of letter is that. Biko I need a sample from any school to show him, am stranded here. Yesma45@yahoo.com biko

Same thing my HOD said. Go to your school's E&R department. They are the ones to do it, not your HOD.

OP but why are you being mischievous?

GEJ's official car as president was not an S350, but an S600 Guard with OEM armoury valued at over $400,000 while having two other regular S600s in his convoy.
PMB's official car is not an S600 Maybach but a regular S550 4matic valued at less than $200,000 with 3rd party armoury (I don't know why he chose 3rd party armoury, maybe to cut cost, because the OEM is better), while having two other regular S550s in his convoy. So please OP, don't open silly threads to spew your ignorance.
Please note that 3rd party armoury very rarely goes north of $100,000.


You can see the current presidential S-Class below. I hope you can see the "S550" written very clearly!

idupaul:
Yeah your right , I jst assumed the Nigerian Govt will go outrightly for an S Guard instead of 3rd Party Armoured S class

I thought that too. GEJ even used an S-Guard. Maybe he's trying to cut costs. I dunno shaa

Hmmmm.... okay this matter escalated rather quickly. My opinion, which I have said before: if you meet the requirements of 50 programs in 40 schools, and you have the resources (courier/uni-assist fees), please do apply. But if you do get admitted to the "numero uno" in your priority list, be courteous enough to inform the other 49 that you do not wish to be processed any further. Fullstop.


Why all the fuss about this issue in the first place?


Moving on, Eke40seven I'm interested in that language pack oh. Abeg reserve my own. I will mail you

lmuhopeful:
When I applied to Karlsruhe, they needed something like that and so what I did was to make a .pdf file and a hardcopy listing all the relevant courses that I took with their course code and a detailed description of each course's contents..and they were pleased with it. I called this document "Description of Relevant Coursework". I advise all prospective applicants to any other school to do this:..why? because it helps you stand out..they no longer just see "Engineering Mathematics 1" but rather they now see "Fourier analysis, Stokes theorem etc"..with this they are better able to gauge the difficulty of your undergradiate work...and as you already know our Nigerian syllabus is very standard(having been developed from the British) so when the admissions committee of ur german school see that they will know that you are capable of completing the msc..by the way I submitted this document to every school that I applied to and the admissions officer at Karlsruhe replied me to tell me that it was a very welcome idea.

Wow. Brilliant idea. Too bad I didn't think of it earlier.

Dehonourable:
I did the conversion by myself Bro because I stl have all the course units I offered frm 1st to final year in my file.

I did that too but uni-bonn did not recognize it... Thanks anyway

Dehonourable:
Credit points Equivalent. To meet the admission requirement for Master's program in Material sciences, the equivalent of at least
16 ECTS credits in each of the following subjects must have been taken in your first degree program (1) Material sciences (2) Chemistry (3) Physics

Contact hours spent in the classroom or Lab each wk

I know that. What I mean is, how did you express the conversion? Did your school do it for you? Or you just attached another sheet explaining Nigeria's credit system?

Dehonourable:

Conversion of my Physics, Chemistry, Material sciences modules to ECTS. Each must not be less dan 16 ECTS @ d undergraduate level

Congrats. Please I'd appreciate if you could expatiate on this. Thanks.

aodis:
house pls o can i open a blocked account or book an appointment without admission?

Some schools give a document that you can use to open your blocked account and possibly book VISA appointment while you have not been officially rejected/accepted - I know uni-hamburg does this.

Galads:
Hello everyone, I need to borrow you guys brain because am running out of ideas. My transcript is delaying as the rector of my school is not on sit to sign. I once saw on this thread somebody said he/ she got admitted by uploading documents online Abi by just filling the online application( can't remember the exact). Then the documents can be sent later for verification. Pls I need such schools.
Just thinking time is going and probably when I will get the transcript deadline will really be close.
I don't need anybody to tell me and lazy because I have searched all the schools on daad.de. am applying for bsc with my HND. Don't wana gamble with my sponsorship letter.

Even when you're applying online, you'll still need to upload your transcript. Sorry bro, but you need to get that document.

Bethiano:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhaahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhaha
Pls oooon how can I go to germany, without opening a blocked account, or getting a scholarship or even a sponsorship letter. And I want to study in their best university for free , in same class with Angela Merkel's son ?

Chai. This guy no go kill me ooooooooh!!!!

Bethiano:
Eke! I know you encourage this but this is just too much, its obvious that this person must have applied for 7 difft courses that he most likely would not qualify for all .

See these things we are doing is affecting the image of this country, what if all of them accept and u didn't even show up dis year, probably because Buhari gives u an appointment or blocked account tries to ginger ur swagg.

Brothers, it simply shows that we do not do a lot of research on our course of study, city etc.

Na dis kind attitude they make most schools join UNi- assist.
See how dis guy use his applications they block every where, simply because u dey avoid uni -assist money. This is greed in a subtle way. hope u have blocked account money ?

Guys ! Let's be modest in our actions, act wisely.

Don't be selfish, let's think of other people behind. If we block the way, how will others get admission.

As for this nelly guy! Supposing all the schools gives him admission, what it means is that he has denied 6 Nigerians n opportunity simply because its cheap to apply to a non-unassit school, then using Nipost makes it a sweet dream.


We have made efforts to route out ways to help our fellow nigerians. Pls less all be modest.

If you do your research well, there is no need apply for millions of schools, you will just know schools that are likely to offer u admission. Let's stop making a mockery of the process.

My advice, do your research well, know what u want to study (u can't study every thing), select 3 or 4 schools nd in a worst case scenario 5. Do your app well. That's all.

And when you make your final choice, please write back to the other schools nicely, telling them you that you appreciate their offer but you won't be joining them this time. Pls do this.

Just imagine after your application they didn't contact you to tell u if u where accepted or not! How will u feel ?

Even sometimes, if they don't notify us that they have received our apps, I notice a lot of people come here to lament.

The reason is ; so that they can give ur space to someone else who is on the waiting list. And that will put Nigerians in good light. Its wise to notify a person you have contract with that you are no longer interested , than keeping the person hanging.

Trust me, if we continue this way, every app from naija will be treated with dignity.

Thanks everybody.

The bolded should have been the main plot of this epistle, not that people should reduce the amount of schools they apply to. How certain are you that he did not fully qualify for courses in all those schools? You make it seem like sending applications outside uni-assist is free. Well it's not. And except NIPOST is used (with their unreliability), using uni-assist is actually cheaper for multiple applications. While you were fortunate to have been admitted to both schools you applied to, others are not so fortunate. Personally, I qualify for over 15 programs in different institutions (I didn't apply to all oh) and have already been rejected twice; one due to NC, and the other for no reason I can understand.

My point is, while it is good to apply to as many schools as possible, resources permitting, it is very wise to let schools know of your intention to enroll or not.

chigoizie7:
Oga, I wan ask u question ooh, not necessarily from what u wrote.

*it takes 1/3 of the senators to be on seat b4 it the house can convene.

*1/3 of 109 senators is 37

*PDP has 51 senators which is more than 1/3

*the total number of senators present in yesterdays election is 75 or so.

I think they were even less than that. Although they did form a quorum.

*assume PDP senators hijacked the election and field one of them and then the whole of PDP senators voted for him.

*owing to the fact that they are more than APC members present for d election (I.e) 51 as against the remainder of 75.

* if PDP had won, would it be binding?

It should be binding. But weigh the odds. Had PDP done that, it would have been blown out war between PDP and APC, which, as APC has the majority and the Executive, they most likely would not win. But check out how things have turned: nobody is castigating PDP for their craftiness, instead we're praising their genius while scapegoating Saraki and his allies in APC, therefore seemingly deepening the internal crisis of the APC.

In being a con artist, they say you should never have more greed than the mark. PDP showed just the right amount of greed (DSP) without going too far (SP).

BeauHomme:
OP, I disagree with your first point oo. I think we've so quickly jumped to conclusions about who the true champions of this drama are.

Even as I continually listen to, and read comments on this issue, I have a nagging question. Was Buhari really naïve about this move or is he the hidden drummer, while the senators just dance to the beats? I have a feeling that this drama might just be a move by the Apc northern caucus(and Buhari) to clip the wings of Tinubu in preparation for his release of ministerial list and other proposals from the presidency

Just my thoughts though...I may be wrong afterall

Hehehe. Even as I want to believe PMB's absolute neutrality, a part of me echoes your sentiment. Maybe you missed this part:

(Although something tells me he had a hand in the
emergence of the SP and the Speaker. Take that with a
tablespoon of salt though)

handsomeclouds:
But the biggest winner in all these has to be Senator Bukola Saraki. Knowing how to lobby the right people for his personal ambition (I'm not saying it's a good thing). He has just shown how smart a politician he can be, and his overzealous ambition might actually take him places - I won't be shocked to see him running for the number 1 office come 2023, or even 2019 (Watch this space)
A dream that will never come to pass! Take it or leave it, Hausa's will never go to the extent of supporting bukola for d no 1 seat. They have not and will never see Ilorin as real Huasas and by extension Muslims, its high time people got in touch with reality. If wishes could be evaluated, then this is definitely a white elephant one!

Now I didn't say he'll be president, I said he'll run for it. You dig?

mprexx:
Nice writeup. However I believe APC lost out completely on this one...

CC: lalasticlala

Actually they didn't. You should see APC beyond the Tinubu vision.

bettercreature:
Make no mistake there was no election

Errm, there wasn't any contestant you know. Why weren't the APC senators meeting somewhere in the House of Assembly complex?
