Nawa ooo, whereas av seen a man of about 40yrs stil a captain, those ones might just end there career stil a major or highest colonel

hardbody:
Early 20's, Captain? What is the minimum age to enter NDA and how long is the course, i guess 6 years? and what is the minimum number of years before you are promoted to Captain? No bro. Later part of the 20's for Lieutenants and and definitely early 30s at the minimum for captains.

Lumyboi:
It's your opinion though but u need to b more objective. If they don't have the mind to b soldiers they won't survive in nda. This thing is definitely more than we know as Nigerians. N the force is not where you can challenge orders. I wish u could spend a week in nda n come back to tell us.
The best we can do is pray for them. Not blame them.

hairyanus:
The least we can do is support our gallant soldiers, it appears they are irrelevant now with all the rubbish spewed by the bokoharam apologists, withdraw them for2 weeks and see if Bokoboys will not over run all of us.
We have tried blame game for long. Is it not time we unite against terror.

For your information, the allied forces made up of U.S, France, UK and 5 arab nations are fighting the senior brother of Bokoharam- Isis with the best weapons in the world. Isis is still takin new territories and advancing, slow pokes here blame GEJ. Why hast America not conquered Isis after 2months. If its that easy.....If you can stop Bokoharam, stand up and apply to Nigerian army, they now recruit every day . Seat at the comfort of your computer and throw blames. Talk is very cheap. Rubbish...rest well our hero.

Well there is no confusion brother, we are just trying to clarify things so that a brother will not make a mistake. It could be painful going through all that stress to certify and post something and it becomes a waste of time money and opportunity, you know? It is however nice you gave your contribution but the fact that uni-assist accepted yours doesn't necessarily mean his school will accept it like that. Luck no be the same!
Before I certified mine also at the court, I learned that our Ogas had done it there and the format at the court also meet the strict criteria the school I applied at that time stipulated. His school is not under uni assist and they have expressly stated how they want it done and it is only wise he follows that format and what I did was to point out where it could be done strictly following that format.
Nevilbot has brought his angle which is also very valid too and yours too very interesting.

However, @XketchDesigns, you can go to a notary public I.e look for chambers that run such near you. it is also cheap if you negotiate well. They too uses seal in the format that nevilbot stipulated. You can however, also check well after they have done it to make sure it is okay. I just spoke with naijaobi and he said that was what he did. Try it out too as an option if going to the embassy at Lagos or Abuja or using the high court at Lagos where I did mine (by the way, the Ikeja high court is located in Ikeja. once you get to Ikeja under bridge, where the blue BRT buses are located ask for Lagos state university teaching Hospital or high court. you can trek or enter keke but its very close) is going to be too strenuous for you.

nevilbot:
DAT is d seal

Eke40seven:
That one is definitely not gonna be good enough
if you take a look at the one in the image below,
you will see the stamp with the Lagos state coat of arm, signature of the person who certified it, date of certification,.a statement indicating "certified true copy" and also the stamp bore the name of the authority encircling the emblem.
Any one that follows that format should be acceptable.

nevilbot:
Eke, even uni assist told me back then that dey wanted a seal and not just a stamp. Dey specifically sent me a mail that my certification was not enuf cus it only bore a stamp and wat they accept is a seal. They sent me a link to somewhere on dia site wia it is expressly stated that wat they accept is a seal. As I said I went to abuja den cus the Italian embassy told me to go dia and dats d only one dey accept. I came back from my abuja trip after spending 12k to do it and Goethe sent me my admission letter so I dint eventually use it cus I decided to go to Germany instead.

The process in MOE takes officially two weeks but trust IBO boys WO hang around d ministry as agents. I gave d guy 1k per document instead of d official 250 and my certification was ready d next day. Den at d ministry of foreign affairs, dey don't accept documents on Thursdays but my IBO guy just waka inside and came out 30 mins later with d job done even doe it was a Thursday.

So my guy this is how it is done. Go to education ministry ist . make two copies of each of d document u wantvto certify. Submit it with a waec scratch card if waec cert is among and dey will certify it with a seal and a signature no stamps on d original and photocopies. Den forward match to d foreign affairs ministry and submit only the photocopies as dey do not sign original educational documents dia saying its d jurisdiction of education ministry. Dey will den put dia own seal and sign. Dats all. I will upload pics of it later

Eke40seven:
Hi nevilbot,
I didn't reply xketchDesigns based on the enquiries he made about the format in Abuja (I don't know what theirs look like) but my answer is in respect to previous strings of enquiries he made and I responded to. And even as a matter of fact, the authority he will eventually use in Abuja either court or ministry may have different materials for certification but either will be accepted if the requested formats are right.
Before now, he said he had done one in Nassarawa or one state in the north or middle belt and that it bore only a stamp and not an emblem. I was then trying to correct an impression that as far as the stamp forms a "coat of arm" of may be the local gov., state or Nigeria, it will be accepted that it will only be rejected if it only has "texts" I.e letters and not symbols.
Do you get my point now?
So in essence, it doesn't really matter what you used in making the emblem (symbol, sign, coat if arm, badge), whether stamp, seal, fire, thread or gold, what they want to see is the emblem. I hope you get the message I was trying to pass across.

And further, EXCEPT, the school specifically mentioned that you should use that of the ministry of education EXCLUSIVELY, I don't see why you should spend a fortune couple with the stress and procedure of going to the ministry of education when most German school will only ask you to use relevant AUTHORITIES like courts and notary public or even their embassies which is way way more cheaper and convenient.
My two cowries!

nevilbot:
Yes it had an emblem of the Nigerian coat of arm like a seal engraved into the paper from d back but it was not in colours. The ministry of education will ist apply their seal on d original and two photocopies yle foreign affairs ministry will put their own seal on d photocopies only after they av seen d seal from d MOE.

To reply d person DAT ist replied u, the certification in abuja is not just an ordinary ink stamped thing ooo. No ink will even appear on the paper. Its a seal and den a signature of the person who puts d seal that will be on d certified documents and based on what I heard and made to believe wen I went dia for d process only 4 people can sign it in d whole of d ministry and if u take d documents to foreign affairs ministry with a diff signature from d four dey already know it will be rejected. All embassies accept this certification without exception cus it carrys d seal of d forieng affairs ministry. Na even Italian embassy even asked me to go do it dia cus that's d only certification dey accept as na uni of Trieste in Italy I ist get admission before baba God come say na germo I most come.

Good day everyone.... Particularly my ogas @ d top.
I just have one question... And yes, I go soon read the thread from beginning to the end, but I'm currently preparing for GRE...and combining that with NYSC is really difficult.

The question is what's the advantage of certifying one's documents at the german embassy instead of at a high Court...
And if I certify documents at the high Court, would it bear the below listed requirements?

1) a remark confirming the certified copy corresponds to the original?
2) the signature of person certifying the document
3) official seal and not simple stamp?

Thank you.
