Best option will be fairly used equipment. If you buy smaller scale equipment, you will easily outgrown them.
You can ask well start producing without bread slicer(i.e producing unsliced bread only for a start), so that can reduce the cost for you as well. You can get a good carpenter to do a wooden bread shelve for you instead of buying foreign one. Etc

Alright thank you
I will reach out to you via your number
I believe it is till the same number you dropped here then

solochris:
Just set this up for a client last month at Ajah

Make sense keep up the good work 👏
Looking forward to your response

solochris:
1. 3 deck oven, 9 trays..3.2m
2. 25kg dough mixer..1.6m
3. Slicer.. 650k
4. Baking pans (100pcs) .... 360,000
5. Cooling Shelve ... 250,000
6. Working table.... 150,000
7. Digital scale .... 60,000
8. Analogue scale.... 60,000
9. 8kva generator.... 500,000
10. Packaging .... 500,000

These are the prices as of today except you want to go for fairly used

Thank you so much for this. The total cost here is over #7M
So my question, is there any possible way to start on a smaller scale than this to reduce cost instead of buying fairly used products?
And also which would you advise to go for, a smaller scale (if there are options to the equipment sizes and price but new products) or get it set up on the standard you gave but with fairly used equipment. Which would you strongly advise on?

Thanks and God bless

solochris:

Please if you put in for this same school or have any useful information kindly share it here with me

Predator99:
Does the course you did for undergraduate determines the course you will be applying for the masters programs?

Not really, but it must be in line in respect to the field of your undergraduate

HaleemahYinusa:
It was a white woman that interviewed me. It was the last window by the right (can't remember the window number)inside one small office like place sha.

VO: oh you're going to school in Louisiana

Me: Yes

VO: How are you going to afford this( something like that I can'treally remember)?

Me: My dad is sponsoring me. He is a senior manager at .... bank

VO: Your dad is a banker?

Me: Yes

VO: How long as he been working there?

Me: Over 15 years now.

VO: So why did you choose this school in Louisiana.

Me: I chose ULM because I loved the fact that they held virtual information sessions where-

She cut me off

VO: Did you get accepted by other schools?

Me: Yes. 3 other schools

VO: Name them?

Me: The university of Michigan Flint, Norwich University and William Patterson University of new Jersey.

VO: Okay so you chose this because because you liked that they held information sessions?

Me: Yes. I was able to enquire more about scholarships, school of nursing etc.

VO- Oh okay. Do you have siblings?

Me: Yes I do. My older sister is-

VO:How many?

ME: 3 siblings.

VO: Your said your older sister is where? Here in Nigeria?

Me: No. She's currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Texas.

Vo: Oh North Texas.

Me: Yes. She's currently in her 2nd year.

VO: Okay. Have you traveled out of Nigeria before?

Me: No I have not.

VO: Okay. Give me a minute.

Then she started typing.

Then she said Congratulations I'm going to be granting your Visa. Itll be ready in the next 5 days. Always keep your I20 with you.

Omo I wanted to scream and start jumping.

Then she picked the white paper and joined it with my I 20.
Then she said Oh you know you can't travel more than 30 days before your expedited date.

I told her yes yes I know that.

Congratulations to you 👏
Wish you all the best on your new journey

They mostly excel in Mathematics than the Mathematics students in University sha.

They only make use of the calculations part but we studied the calculations part with the theories and proofs behind it

folamorgan:
Thanks so much for the reply. The problem now is that the amount is now 2N24,000 above the initial amount with the current dollars rate. Can I print my current account statement along with the old one to show them that the amount is now above the former one in accordance to the current dollars rate? Thanks in advance

Yes, you can do that but I don't think showing the old statement is necessary

folamorgan:
Hi, please, my interview date is on 20, April. I was supposed to go for Spring admission by 18, January 2023 but because of the backlogs, I was given August before I later got April 20,2023. The school used my old account statement, which was $38000 at N422 by December last year, then the school asked me to have $35200 for my i-20, but I had $38000 in my account. But now that the dollars rates have changed, my first question is can I use the same account statement because that was used for my i-20? My second question is that is the account still valid for my visa interview since that was what the school used for my i-20 and it was printed out like four months ago?

There is just a slight change in Dollar to Naira rate, remember official rate will be used.
So check current rate to know if you are still on the right track and since the account statement is not up to 6 months you can still make use of it

Davegabriel:
Greetings Everyone... Please I need some assistance. I want to pay for my enrollment deposit so I can receive my I-20. Abeg I don't know anyone in US and I'm not using any agent. Can someone help me out so I can refund in naira or any site or app I can use to make the payment

Try some apps like Payday and chippercash
Rate is high but you will eventually get the payment done

okomoney:
Dear, can you share how to get or request for loans and also how to get fully funded school. Thanks in advance

Depends on the school, some schools you need to apply for loan or funding right after admission and some schools provide funding right after admission decision

NiceLegs:
Hello guys, if u we're given these options as a B.Sc graduate, which would u pick

1) Study Accelerated B.Sc Nursing in USA for 18 months on LOAN which covers
Tution, Accommodation (Utility, bills), Cost of Living, Flight ticket, Health Insurance, Cost of Gadgets (Iphone/MacBook).

OR

2) Study Nursing B.Sc in UK for 3 years on a FULLY FUNDED SCHOLARSHIP.

Which would you go for?

Go for Nursing in the UK it is fully funded, in 3 years time you are done with no debt to pay and if you have any dreams with the US you can easily top your degree there and maybe get fully funded as well

Jesusweptoh:

Hello People of nairaland,

Please who here as applied to the Marshal University and has gotten full funding?

I started the application and i am been requested for Engineering CAS. They requested for a foreign evaluation of my transcript which I guess is WES.

My issue is to know if I can get full sponsorship even after going through all this.

Please anybody here that has experince with the school should help confirm

Hello i applied to Marshall
You will surely need to EngineeringCas to apply for some courses
And funding is after been offered admission, the first thing to expect is admission then funding
