Ok, I'm a Nigerian residing in Dubai, Im asking because of this post does it mean u can still travel without visa as a Nigerian passport holder thanks

Nigerian passport holder must have a visa to come to TRNC as national regulation.

However, Turkish airline only allows students from certain country to come to TRNC after they verify through admission and immigration file that such traveler is a prospective student and has paid the fees to the university..so that way you may travel without a visa but with OKTB (OK-to-board) to TRNC.

Note: OKTB is not a visa but just a permission that the traveler can board the airline meanwhile such passenger will be subjected to the same immigration policies if visa holder during entry; meaning can Ben allowed entry or refused entry depending on the concerned entry Officer.

In recent times, many students used OKTB without an hassle.

And yes from Dubai you can use OKTB; I had few African residents that have traveled to TRNC for studies and came in through OKTB in recent semesters.

Flaame:
Thank you sir,a friend of mine with TRNC(North Cyprus) visa mistakenly booked a flight to Larnaca(south Cyprus) and there's no option for refund while booking,how can he get through this issue please?

If your friend is holding passport from country that does not need visa to south Cyprus then he can fly to south and cross the border by a Taxi...that’s what I do when am going to Some countries.

Otherwise if your friend is holding passport from country that requires visa to south Cyprus....then he cannot fly to south Cyprus with north Cyprus visa and if no refund from the airline then the money has entered voice mail.

He should buy a new ticket to TRNC.

manneger2:

Ok sir thanks, can you help me with school I can do MSc in occupational health and safety,
I want to find out too, does it mean I can just travel to North Cyprus after getting admission without visa application

As a student, you can travel to Cyprus after you receive a visa from the Turkish embassy of the country you are located while some national don’t need a visa to come to North Cyprus ....so I don’t know your nationality to answer this specific question.

manneger2:
Can I run MSc nurse at Cyprus, my bsc is biochemistry. Pls reply sir

Most of the universities in TRNC for MSc nursing runs it in Turkish language.

Also, it may be hard to admit you into MSc due to the fact that your undergrad is coming from different programs. There are many courses in undergrad nursing that will be a prerequisite for you..

Xtention20:


How about someone with a TRNC Resident Permit?

Same if that’s person coming from Nigeria

Flaame:
Please can anyone recommend me an affordable airline to book flight to Cyprus.... Turkish airline is way too expensive.

IF you have visa, the following airlines can take passengers going to TRNC: Egypt-air, Emirate, Qatar airways and Air Maroc... you can check their websites or visit travel agents.

Manuscript tense: Using correct language for manuscripts

Using the proper language will aid a faster review of the submitted manuscript. Poor language use can prevent the manuscript from being sent out for review or published. It is important to note that If editors and reviewers are unable to understand the language of the manuscript, therefore the full impact or message of your work will not be understood. Even if your findings may break new ground, poor quality of language may mean that you don't get the attention you deserve.

Note: I have seen many individuals who talk professionally and compose outstandingly. The same persons, however, struggle to comprehend the manuscript tense. I'm not an English teacher, I'm just someone with a clear understanding of how the results of studies are conveyed, and I hope someone here would benefit from this.


Let's get started
.....................................................................................................................................................

The tense of a verb represents the timing in general terms. The past tense indicates that an action has already taken place; the present tense [/b]indicates that the action is actually unfolding, and the [b]future tense implies that the occurrence has not yet happened.

So here, for each section of the manuscript, the tense to be used will be given and some examples will also be given to explain it.

Title of the manuscript: The manuscript title doesn't need to be a full sentence for several articles, and no verb is required.

Introduction section:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The introduction section contains several verb tenses, each of which provides a distinct meaning for the accompanying sentence. The present tense is appropriate when stating a fact which is generally accepted; using the present tense implies that the sentence represents the current interpretation of the topic at hand.

Example: “Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom” or "Unsafe water kills more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined"

References to previous studies (literature review) are often included in most introductions. When referring to a previous review with findings that are still important, use the present perfect tense; because it indicates that the research or observations were made in the past but the results are still valid.

Example: “Wip et al. have demonstrated that MgO is photocatalytic" or “ according to Wip et al. a decreasing trend in the tumor have been observed in glycolytic cells"

Also, the present tense is used when a specific result, paper, table pr figure is the subject of a sentence. That is if your manuscript continues to express conclusions of published research.

Example: “the results of Wip et al. study reflect that 2.5 g of the drug is highly effective”


The past tense is required in some other sections of an introduction. When directly referring to the techniques used in the previous paper or statements that are no longer considered valid.

Example: it is correct to say “Wip et al. synthesized five nanoparticles for cancer treatment and found two efficient nanoclusters” or, “early scientists thought that electrons traveled in specific orbits.”

At times, a combination of tenses is fine in the introduction section. For example: “Musa suggested [past] that Rhinoplex contained three molecules, but subsequent research has proved [present perfect] the existence of a double-bimodal structure.”


Method/methodology section:

The past tense should be used in the method section since it is a summary of what was done during the research.

Example: "we examined five bacteria cultures for antibacterial resistance to CuO” or “rat cells were irradiated and assayed for lead poisoning"

Recently Published from our Lab: Photocatalysis for treatment of hospital wastewaters via UV-induced system

Summary: For decades, antibiotics have been used both in human and animal medicine to prevent and treat bacterial infections and have saved millions of lives from multiple infectious diseases. Since most of these antibiotics are recalcitrant, they have been detected in vegetables, drinking water, groundwater and various aqueous environment which is dangerous as they often result in Super robot bacteria strains that shows antimicrobial resistance.


Researcher: A Female Ph.D. candidate from Libya that focused on designing effective methods of treating pharmaceuticals and emerging pollutants wastewater. Supervised by Wip7. We had recently published some of the data in other journals and this a recent publication.

Publication: This result is published in Q1 Journal with an impact factor of 5.8, Citescore of 8.8, and indexed in all well-known databases. This is a free journal. Our University research unit and government research unit will reward us with a total of 3000$ for publishing this work as an incentive.

Good morning prof.

In respect to your reply.

I built a desktop application for hotel reservation using native application. How do I channel this to writing a paper for publishing?

The desktop app you built is great; however, is mainly good for writing a business proposal, not an academic paper. The reason is in your app, you will mainly have just the front-end, back-end, and the DBMS codes/functionality. For an academic paper; you will need to have an abstract, introduction, methodology, results and discussions; conclusion.

In the academic paper, you will need a section for literature review, it will be difficult for you to do a literature review just based on your app. WHY? Anybody and many people have built the same or similar app using different front end and different database platforms; irrespective of the front-end language or database; the app will work what will matter now is efficiency and add-ons. So no way for you to get literature on this.

Also, I intend to build face recognition/identification for an hotel as well. How do I channel it suit the line of PhD.

Note. I have been developing applications, now I intend to channel it to academics. Your reply will kick me starting.

First, you have to define what your Ph.D. will look like. What research area you are interested in and then write the Ph.D. proposal sent out for evaluation. Take note; not all Ph.D. proposal/project is publishable unless its into academic pipeline. Just building one Face recognizer app does not capture what a Ph.D. is about, and one of the reasons is that many people can do the same without sweating much. But for it to be able to go in for Ph.D. then you may have to be comparing things like the language, technique, and performance of various Face-recognizer you have built and remember science must be reproducible.

Let me give you some example of AI topics that can be published and you can streamline that to your goal:

1. Air Quality Prediction Based on Machine Learning Algorithms
2. Secure and Intelligent Mobile Systems
3. Deep Learning-Based Biometric Recognition
4. AI in Smart Buildings
5. Deep Learning-Based Smart Farm Techniques
6. AI for Cyber Security in Human Health and Medical Devices
8. Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Pharmaceutics
9. AI for Cybersecurity
10. AI in wearable and flexible electronics systems

Let me open just two of these to give you an idea.

AI in Smart Buildings

Smart building refers to any structure that uses automated processes to automatically control the operation of the building, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security, and other systems. In recent years, AI technologies have been widely used in smart buildings, which improve the operation and management efficiency of buildings. At the same time, these technologies can also improve the safety and amenity of building users.

So if Ph.D. research is directed here, it will be publishable and many already published work on this.

Air Quality Prediction Based on Machine Learning Algorithms

Worsening air quality is one of the major global causes of premature mortality and is the main environmental risk, claiming seven million deaths every year. Nearly all urban areas do not comply with the air quality guidelines of the WHO. This health threat could be diminished by developing models to forecast air quality and inform citizens of the risks of practicing certain activities during elevated pollution episodes. Several machine learning (ML) approaches have been used to predict a set of air pollutants using different combinations of predictor parameters. However, with a growing number of studies, why a certain algorithm is chosen over another for a given task is puzzling. So a Ph.D. in this area can use two to three ML models of air quality to better understand their predictive power.

NOTE: From what I read online, PhD is all about solving problems, hence this question.
Thanks.

No Ph.D. is not just by solving problems. A bus conductor is solving a problem for the bus driver by coordinating the passengers, assisting with navigation etc......does it means the conductor is doing a Ph.D.?

A Ph.D. is an academic degree focused on original research, data analysis, and the evaluation of theory. The goal is to develop significant and original research in your area of expertise and this research may now be tuned to solve challenges, develop a new solution, improve on an existing system or learn something new to give a deeper meaning to the poorly known phenomenon.

Good afternoon everyone !!!

So happy joining this great platform.

My name is Felelu.

My profile include.

Diploma in Computer Engineering
B.Eng in Computer Engineering
MSc in Information Technology
MSc in Electrical Electronics Engineering

At wip7.

At his junction, I intend going for PhD focusing on AI. Could you please advise me on this part in terms of laboratory for experiment and also the process of academic publishing.
.

Great profile...welcome aboard!

AI is a broad field that can be connected to almost all fields of research for product design or development. Since you have a background in Computing then this should not be an issue for you. You only need to think of what area of research interests you. There is various hot topics/research in AI while some only need data some may involve lab/technical work to inculcate the trained AI model into physical devices.

So you have to decide if you want to research AI-enabled devices (fabricating the devices and integrate trained AI) or AI-enabled services (get data, train data, and deploy them as apps)..........This will then inform if you will need to go to the lab or just make use of existing/fresh data. Think of your current environment, think of what problem/challenges and then see how you can solve it then start to think of what you will need to solve these problems.

Considering your background you may go for AI-powered electronics (this will entail device fabrication or using already fabricated devices and see how you can modify it to dance to your tunes). There are many opportunities in real estate, agriculture, and medical fields that will be needing AI-powered devices.

Best wishes
Attached here are some areas which are majorly AI-enabled services.

General Manuscript Structure and Content Guidelines: A brief note

In general, to submit a manuscript, an author may request to have the following handy on sperate pages:

---Cover letter
---Highlights
---Author Credit statement
---Declaration of competing interest
---Manuscript with all details

Cover Page/Letter: Please review the guidelines for authors of your selected journal before you start writing your cover letter, as not all journals need a cover letter. Research results that would interest their readers must be selected by editors. If it is not quite clear how your research paper could generate interest based on its title and content alone, your cover letter is the only chance you will get to persuade the editors that your work is worth further reviewing. Sometimes, the cover letter is used by many editors to elucidate whether authors can obey simple instructions. Therefore, your chance to illustrate the relevance of your research to journal editors is a valuable introductory cover letter.

Key points to include in a cover letter:

--------Editor’s name if you have it or just simply write Dear Editor
--------Mention the name of the journal you are submitting to
--------A brief statement that your paper is not being considered by other journal or has not been previously published by another journal
--------Brief description of the research, why it is important, and why you think the readers of the journal would be interested in it
--------Contact information for you


Avoid the following:

----Avoid the use of jargons or too many acronyms
----Avoid using humor or familiarity tones or language like you are toasting the editor
---Try to limit the use of words such as “novel,” “first-ever,” first in the century”. Most times these types of words show bias and will make the editor question your ability to assess your work’s merits objectively.



Below is a simple guide:

Dear Prof.Wip or Dear Editor,

I wish to submit an original research article entitled “END SARS and REFORM POLICE” for consideration by the International Journal of Police.

Please explain in your own words the novelty and importance of the studies, mention the significant problem that you addressed in your research, and state, why the manuscript fit to be published in this journal and why you think the readership of the journal would be interested in it.

You may also compare your research with previously published like: “This manuscript expands on the prior research conducted and published by WIP7 in the Journal of SARS”

If you have previously part of your research elsewhere and the current work expanded on it: You can say: “I have presented a part of my findings in JP Journal. And I have acquired additional data to develop a new understanding of .....

like: I believe that this manuscript is appropriate for publication by IJP because it… (give specific reference to the journal’s Aims and Scope that your work fits).

Close it with:

I confirm that this work is original and has not been published elsewhere, nor is it currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

We have no conflicts of interest to disclose. Please address all correspondence concerning this manuscript to me at (give your official email address not Facebook page ooo).

Thank you for your consideration of this manuscript.

Sincerely,
Dr. SARS


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main Manuscript Should contain


Title Page

Include the title, all authors’ names and affiliations, and full contact information for the corresponding author.

Abstract

Usually, limit this to 150-170 words and avoid references or too many abbreviations (if you must use then pre-define it), and five to six relevant keywords (avoid repeating the words in the title) should be listed directly under the abstract on the same page.

Introduction

The introduction should explain the rationale behind the study, highlight the gap in knowledge being filled by the present research, cite previous research relevant to the current study, and clearly describe the significant contribution to existing studies. Ensure the introduction is balanced in terms of content.

Methodology

This section should contain a clear and concise description, justification of the conditions and procedures of the study, as well as the analytical tools or methodology used.

Results and Discussion

This section should present the collected data and analysis. Results for all measures should be reported in a concise, straightforward manner, using tables or figures when appropriate. Duplication of information that is presented in tables or figures should be minimal in the text, and all results should be reported in the text, rather than figure captions. The discussion should also explore the broader implications and significance of the findings, explain the trend in the result, and link it to possible reasons supported with references.

Conclusion

This should not repeat the abstract but should provide a summary of significant results and trends observed. Avoid references here and limit to 300 words.

Next, we shall talk about verb tense in scientific/academic manuscripts

Choosing the correct verb tense for each section of a scientific manuscript can be challenging, but it is worth the effort.

Next time.

mustyy:
Good day Prof Wip 7, May God bless you for the wonderful job you are doing.

Sir, Please I need your advice and guidance regarding a recently published article of mine in a [b]Journal of Environmental and Public Health (Hindawi Journal). The journal published the paper while we are in the process negotiations of the article publication fee, the fee final fee offered was $675, which w[/b]e said we cannot afford at the moment due to non payment of salaries to Nigeria lecturers by the government. We made several request demanding for a reduction in the fee, but they refused.

Good day,

I can understand what you are going through. In a normal sense, the reputable open-access publishers should generally don't publish accepted manuscripts unless they receive the APC. For them to have published it without following that well-known or established step, means they are more of a predatory journal.

First, as I have earlier warned against publishing in this journal and my reasons are:

------I never for once pay to publish any research work (it makes no economic sense to me); rather I get paid by my university and government for publishing my hard labored results. ......You should avoid paying to publish even is 1$.

--------I don't publish in low-quality journals; I am a well-respected scientist so I don't allow low-quality and predatory journals tarnish my profile or dent my research work..........avoid such journal as wells; hence, consider doing quality work to get it published in high-quality journals.

---- I don't publish in journals without verifiable metrics; this particular journal has no impact factor and not in any well-known reputable database; so desist from such.

As a matter of fact, Now they are threatening to put me in their bad debt list, if I didn't pay in the next 30 days. Which they said will prevent my paper for marketing promotion and further, will not allow me to submit paper to Hindawi Journals.

Because; they seem to share the APC with the editor that handled and other production teams; hence, they need your money rather than the quality of your work. In most cases: the papers published in these types of predatory journals often tend to provide false and/or invented data based on research that has never been conducted; however, readers are not always aware of this. You don't need them to market your published work; if your work is quality enough with citable data; other researchers will cite your work and you will get good citations.

Please Sir,
1.what is bad debt list ?

Considering my interpretation: Bad debt list means a container of debtors for an expense that the business incurs and the payment is estimated to be uncollectible.

2. What are the implications of entering a bad list in a journal, will that damage my academic career/reputation?

The implication is likely that you may be requested to pay for your upcoming APC before processing your manuscript in that journal and also tagged to repay the earlier debt before publishing with them. Meanwhile, this only affects this publisher. I will encourage you to never publish in this type of predatory (yahoo-yahoo) journals. Consider publishing you work in subscription top-quality journals from Elsevier, Taylors, and Springer, Willey than these low-quality predators.

No, it will never damage your academic career or reputation. You have not killed someone, engage in academic dishonesty, cheated someone, fabricated data, stolen research funds, or used false research outputs, etc. Those are what damages academic profiles not bad debts from yahoo-yahoo publishers.

3. Please how do i recover from the bad debt list.

Please sir advice me on the way forward, what do I do now

Thank you

Write to them, that you expected them to receive the APC before they publish your accepted manuscript, due to the current pandemic situation your university cannot avoid funding the APC. Refer to the fact that you have requested for a high discount, however, since no discount and they published your manuscript without waiting for the APC, you don't have money to pay or you will pay in the future if your situation improves. For the time being, let them know that if the APC will not let them market your published work, that you will market it yourself.

Nothing serious. If they threaten you ....you should also threaten them. They are not doing you a favor so why threat?

Selfmade49ja:


Good afternoon sir.....I really appreciate your patience and efforts in helping people here....May Almighty God continue to protect and elevate you sir.....May you live a very blissful life and may all your dreams become a reality...Amen....
Please sir.....I am in my early forties,with kids...
But my wife and I agreed that I should look for greener pasture anyway legit,So please sir,is it possible for me to apply for a student visa reducing my age when I want to get my international passport,or are there any other chances or opportunities since I don't have a BSc....Kindly advice sir....any country as long as I escape Nigeria

Thank you.

It's good to look for a greener pasture as many people call it and venture abroad. First, I will not encourage you to reduce your actual age and place the football age on your international passport. If you want to go for studies, will you now take this newly obtained age forever? or you will switch the age back again? Most of the universities abroad often add DOB to the transcript and if you wish to change this age back then it will now be an issue.

I also, understand the majority of the countries have an age limit for undergraduate as they see it as a gateway that the person is actually not coming for studies both rather for work or otherwise.

The best way is to look for countries that really don't care much about the age limit for studying purposes. Now your case seems different because you already have a family and even you want to study you will want to fend for yourself and somehow fend for your family you left. The majority of countries that official language is not English will generally have job issues that are a problem many faces in Europe since you may have to learn the local language first or learning the local language increases chances of jobs. But if I must be honest with you, no matter which country you find yourself in, if you don't have proper education with certificates, even if you get a job you will remain at those black, brown and dark deep red jobs ....those types of jobs are backbreaking and makes people get older than his/her age with surviving income.

I have met a Nigerian family man in the USA he does nearly 3 jobs while trying to legalize himself....in fact I pity him because I think he is not okay healthwise with no rest and the salary with all these 3 jobs he hardly can save 20,000$ a year which is worthless.

Can you inbox me your olevel result, let me have a look and see if I can advise further. Also, if you have a CV send along so I can have an idea of what you have been doing and don't have a bachelor's degree till this age..

Please for God sake avoid all those agents that will promise to do a package for you and give you some documents that are not your name/details and all sorts of fraudulent packages..........abroad can be hell and especially when you land with illegitimate means.

skillfulsammy:
Greetings to all, please I really need a kind response, I got a 100% tuition scholarship 2 years ago at the European University of Lefke, so for my unconditional acceptance letter to be given I made payments for my accommodation at the school dorm, and also my registration fee but I didn't fly to N Cyprus at that time but now I got my visa and ready to leave, will I have my accommodation reserved and also will I have to pay another registration fee?
Thanks

Your questions are specific; meaning only EUL officials that have all your details like a student reg number, application details, etc will answer these specific questions.

So, email and call EUL and get the answers. This thread is for general information. I can answer a specific question about EMU since I work there and have access to the students' details.

Flaame:
But I just hope they wouldn't mess up with me should I want to use it anytime without owing abu fees?

I don't know about your university you are heading to, but at EMU and in most universities; they only keep your documents like insurance, if you are not attending the school anymore and have no debt you can retrieve your documents. Also, if you are still attending the school and you need the document for something, EMU will ask you for something to replace the documents pending when you return it. This is normal there is nothing serious about this.

Also, you are going to EUL; this university is government-supported like EMU only the two government-supported universities in TRNC so relax your mind. Spend your time on the positive sides and do away with most negatives, do away with people that often bring bad news or people with too many problems because they will weigh you down with negative and blurred ideas.....successful people always see positives irrespective of the situations and plan creatively unlike noisemakers or wailers.

Best wishes!

Flaame:
Good evening @Mr. Wip7....I'm not sure but heard that TRNC schools will always try to hold your original WAEC results and will not easily give it to you whenever you need it,is this info true please?

Like each country has a different rule; students submit all their original documents with universities in TRNC during registration and you can have access to it anytime in case you want to use it maybe for some applications etc. The reason for that is most of the TRNC universities have installment payment and the only way for them to ensure you pay your fees is your document. All students graduating and without any debts will have their certificates back.

If you wish to terminate your studies anytime, you can get your certificate also if you don't have debts.

I hope this clears it.

Godtemi:
Very funny, Did you just ban me Mr. Wip?, By telling people the reality of what to face where they are going.

Are you alright? why on earth will I ban you?? what gives you such a glimpse that I have the power to ban you on Nairaland. I have read it like 3 times from a similar person like you pointing fingers at the WIP7 ban or deleted the post.

I really don't respond to such posts because it seems people like reactions and I have taken time to weigh who give the posts/acts and compare ..... it's like comparing sleep to death.

In scientific research: before you can authoritatively make any claim you need to have strong evidence then cite such evidence that is the difference between properly educated and poorly educated persons.

This thread will not allow False claims as I have said; if you think you are not satisfied kindly create your own thread. And to answer you please check your profile you will see NL bans you ........WIp7 don't ban or do I look like Seun Osewa?

Anybody can create a thread on NL, instead, of you claiming someone bans you, go ahead and create your thread and give all the advice in that thread, you can even pay for an advert so people can read the thread or create your own website, or newspaper or anything so people read the thread.

Please Mr/Mrs....I like to tell you; NL has a plugin called antispam; its settings can always ban anybody mostly if you copy-paste, post censored statements or your posts appears spam to the system ......

Hello house, I have few questions, Whats the posibility of nationalizing in TRNC after Studying?

Take note we have two countries: One is Cyprus (South Cyprus) and the second is TRNC (North Cyprus). For either SC or TRNC, you can get the citizenships through:

---Naturalization based on years of residence
---Marriage to Cypriot
---Investment Programme

Naturalization based on years of residence

If you have lived in S.Cyprus with a Temporary Residence Permit (applicable to students) for at least 5 years, during which time you did not leave Cyprus for longer than three months. You must have a work contract that’s either open-duration or for a minimum of 18 months before you apply for a permanent residency; then you become eligible to apply for Cypriot citizenship once you have lived in Cyprus for at least seven out of ten years, and you have a clean criminal record. For TRNC; you must have worked with a legal work permit for at least 6 years, then you can apply for a white card (permanent) and after 2-3 years you can apply for the passport.

Investment Programme

If you purchase property in Cyprus at the value of at least €300,000 in SC (recently terminated due to many criminals getting EU passport via this you may watch Aljazeera video on that). While for TRNC around €150,000 and living for some years.

Marriage to Cypriot

This is applicable to either TRNC or SC; you can submit the citizenship application after you have completed three years of marriage and two years of residence in Cyprus prior to the date of application.

is it easy to acquire their passport?

Above listed are the conditions to get the passport

Are other countries embassy in TRNC?

Yes, you can apply for 15 countries visas from TRNC like USA, UK, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Germany, etc while for others you can go to Turkey or if you have access to go to SC.

Can one marry their local?

Yes, it's common with SC, from what have seen they will rather go for the person coming from more developed nations (just my observation) but generally they marry foreigners. For TRNC; similar, however, the population of TRNC Cypriot is lower and the majority prefer marrying themselves. Three of my Ph.D. students which are TRNC Cypriots married foreigners (Mexican, black American, and Spanish).

[/quote] Are they Racist, Do they marry black guys? [/quote] Racism is everywhere in different forms and categories, just like for those in Nigeria; how the Ibos will not marry Yorubas and Hausa will not marry ibos and vice versa. How, Nigerians are quick to say I am Yoruba or I am Igbo even if one person commits a crime they quickly call the tribe instead of calling that the person is Nigerian. The same way some African Christians will not even date a Muslim while some traditionalists will not even date the churchgoers. The same way some black Americans are killed or rejected by White American or the same way South Africans will burn the house of Nigerians... All are forms of racism and yes, you can experience it based on your nationality, color, accent, etc. So what is common in Cyprus is favoritism, as a Cypriot you likely going to be attended to first or than foreigners depending on where the foreigners come from. I have experienced racism in Cyprus, the USA, UK, and Ireland, and even Brazil so it's a global trend...the degree just differs.

Another subtle racism I have seen is where the foreigners are coming from. In some years ago; I want to invest in some nice properties in TRNC, the developer wants me to pay half of the money before development and said most of their clients get a mortgage (loan) on that resort from local banks. The local bank approved me and my other biz partners because we have international passports from some of the developed countries they only approve. Meaning, I checked the list of passport holders from Nigeria and nearly all Africans are not approved. I asked why they don't give they said because it is so difficult to trace people from there and they have no direct relation with those countries risk accessors bla bla.....told me I got what I needed but it sounds racist act to me since I have multiple passports so I got the mortgage. Anyway; each country has its own rules and ways.

Any police brutality recorded on blacks? I need answers please. God bless us

Currently they don't have SARS, the police hardly carry guns, I think hardly demand a bribe and I have lived for years in Cyprus and have access to both TRNC and SC; I can say the police are normal if you are not a criminal. It's hard for police to just stop you on the road (have never been stopped anyway) start brutalizing you. Although some have experienced some bad things from the police so I can't say 100% they are okay. But I have never heard in 20 years that their police just wake up one day and shoot innocent residents.

What I have noticed is that the traffic police have brought tickets for my Ph.D. students and he never owns a car. They billed him around 5000 TL for accumulated bills; he went there and they asked him to pay he told them he never drive in Cyprus before; they show his name on their system; it the same names as his but the person that committed actually different location and different passport number; they let go after clarification. Some may not be clarified and have heard this sometimes.

In TRNC; the police will prefer to protect a Cypriot rather than a foreigner which I know; their few cases of fraudulent Turkish or Cypriot landlords that cheated foreigners; when they went to the police; the police did not arrest the person they say is against their whatever law but ask the foreigners to go to court. Going to court means you spend more money. So these types of cases seem very common.


Take note: this is my personal experience, it may not be universal, it may be different from others. Also, I am a professor, have investments there and with passports from developed nations, and am black so the treatment I get may be different from another black person coming from another developing nation.

I hope this helps.

Notice for upcoming Drug Dealers and Yahoo/Cyber Criminals

Cyprus is mainly for studies, the environment is relatively peaceful and nice for those coming for studies. Some fraudulent Africans always spoil the image of their countries due to their greed and illegal ways of life. This often leads to the host community to develop hatred, racist acts, and single-out nationals polluting their environment with drugs and cybercrimes.

Please just stop.....the prison in Cyprus is not friendly and why would you want to create a bad image for others due to your greed?

I’m a master student of Applied Mathematics.

Perfect... you will enjoy the faculty..... and the department. We have some Nigerian doing Ph.D. there that may also be of help to you.

I just left isolation and currently in Nural Dorm, is there anyone in EMU that can help with settling in ? I don’t know anyone here pls

Welcome to EMU...it’s easy to settle down anyway, go ahead to the uni go complete your registration if you have not done that. Classes started and we have like 4 weeks and 4 days to mid-exam.

When you enter the uni you will find some newer students also although due to corona almost all people are hideout ...

What department are you and level?

Chegzyco:
Please does CIU accept third class for masters?

Yes CIU do.

Adeyinka112:
OK. So what options do I have as regards EMU.

Undergrad? If yes what level am I starting from because National Diploma is year 3 from what I saw on their website.

Yes at EMU, you can be admitted into undergrad with HND, unless you have postgraduate diploma with your HND.

The level you will start with is based on your transcript. As a rule at EMU; transfer students must spend atleast 3 semester at EMU irrespective of which degree/diploma or levels you are coming from.

If you apply as a transfer student:

—-the courses you have taken will be matched with the courses we offer

——grades you obtained in each course will be matched

—-credit hours of each course will be matched. Example; if you had taken banking insurance course tag BIC305 and the credit in your school for this course is 2 credits and you scored less say C... if we have this course at EMU and the credit is 4; such course is likely not going to be transferred due to mismatch credits ... if you get A grade and credit is closer done other related course will be added to uplift it for it to be transferred.

In summary; in business undergraduate program we have like 45-48 courses which is divided into 5-6 courses per semester making total of 8 semesters for a 4-year undergrad program.

If only 25 courses are transferred for you from your transcript; then you will be left with about 13 courses which means 2 semesters, but the rule says you can’t spend just two semesters atleast 3; then you will need to take some extra courses to balance it.

I hope this is clear.
