I agree with you. ...even though I have only done one month....I know home go still be home!
I enjoy myself here...things are better but I wish home was like this or will be like this.....I miss naija!

Sleek5: good day house, i am new here. please i need the experienced people on this forum to help me look at this. i submitted an application for study permit for jan 2014 to CDHC but my sponsor is my company. they gave me two company accts, cert of incorporation of the company, tax clearance for the last three yrs, memorandum of association, evidence of company activities, affidavit of support, letter of sponsorship, letter of reference, letter for reason why they are sponsoring me and they paid my first semester school fees for lambton college to study human resources as they are sending me for training in human resources and i work as a human resource officer. I also submitted my employment letter, payroll and then i submitted all of my academic documents i could think of, including WAEC scratch card, transcripts, secondary school testimonial plus a personal statement. Please guys do you think i stand a chance of a successful application?

Siga: ...Fhemmmo... that open arms na long thing ooo.... those wey don go ... either join them or get killed...

Fhemmmy:

Chairman, you read me wrong oh, when i say open arm, i mean the changes that we will bring . . Not for them to welcome me as a person oh.

Siga: ...Baba...I get u now... na the samething we dey talk ooo.... na ur ideaology go rub them wrong to the point they want to clear u ooo

U never hear this saying : " this is Naija...not oversea"

I hear that all the time, and for sure will take a long time to change the mindset of the people, even the younger ones gives no damn, just money and money . . . but then, in a society where money is celebrated and not the source of the money what do we expect

kjbobo:
Bros....please add a couple of other decent schools in addition ooo....cos I dey fear dat school these days...looks like oyinbo sef dey do 419..I applied there two years sgo and was told they had backlog...same story tjey like 4 of my friends last year and this year after collecting plenty application fee from people and same backlog story.And
infact one had over 4 point and na story. ...another
friend that got his admission and deferred till 2013 got there and said he is the only Naija in class.....na pub health ooo(MSc) wey plenty Nigerians don apply for....at least this year I knew about 3 that applied for Fall and wasnt picked....whereas chinko plenty for him class. ...I aint saying you shouldnt be positive ooo but be wise to apply to other schools!
Another friend picked last year was best grad in Ife with 4.8(I believe say that one them no get choice )

darefestus:

Thanks Boss..I really wish to join u guys someday.
Regarding ur point about 'decent' schools, could u post some Unis that you feel give us africans equal admission opportunities as the asian..
I intend to study Geophysics with over 4pt cgpa.
I'd appreciate any response.

kjbobo:
As I much as I agree with you on the need to be prepared. ..dont let us over stress this thing to scare people....As much as Naija unis arent practical oriented. ...they fortify your retentive ability....I dont know the school you finished from but I wont classify Ife as rubbish....Its a great school that has built me....functioning with little resources....Look at how much funding these guys here recieve from Agencies?And check out their endowment fund?compare to one of my profs in Ife receiving 10000 naira per session for research?Me honestly speaking,dont believe these guys are more intelligent than my lecturers back home. ...they are just trying!
The challenge most people I believe will have when they come is adjusting back to academic life....cos we don comot from school long ago except for the extremely unserious one....
Cos come to think of it.....the studying condition is too conducive for an average serious Nigerian not to do well....And I have been following my pals here and in U.S...na As all through. ..most of them. ..in fact clearing awards...I look at my environment now compared to back in Ife....And I trying to psyche myself up that its tough here but my mind keeps telling me to face the truth..."this is small potatoes compared to naija"
There is light,there's 24 hr internet access,there's assurance of 3 square meal....infact in my case i have an "office" furnished with study corner,system and lounge(filled with stuff to eat in school) and all i need do is study!I dont see it as tough....i see it as switching back to school mode for those that went to decent schools back home and were serious!
My advice:switch back to reading mode...be more practical and thinking oriented....never think these guys are more intelligent than us(what I found out?,they can talk in class but depth no too dey for a couple of them ),be grateful to God for your naija experience!
Cos when I speak in class. ..dem sef dey listen!
Lastly,Believe and never fear that you are coming here to be the best.....not to just study!target the skies maybe you will fall on tree top.....Trust in God....and work.....Success is inevitable!
