Kai I laugh hard Una don see us finish for Nigeria
When did you leave Nigeria and who are your people

Its people like you that go abroad and say we live on trees in Africa

This is the last I m going to comment on this Nigeria abroad thing because I can now see how low you think of us.... so without nigerians in abroad we can't live in Nigeria

Haaaaaa Kai we don suffer

Baba, i day naija i day wait for my study permit ni, kus i cant wait to port...if u are deceiving me, baba, i cant deceive myself...kus we all know how tins day go for naija for here...president missing at FEC meeting without reporting to us to know his whereabout....citizens careless about things, and u expect naija to be like western world....when their campaign is building roads and restoring power when others countries are looking for more better ways to advance their welbeing...well, its a matter of choice...the world in general is a global village so i can decide to live anywhere i want so far i go through due process, not necessary i die for naija believing say e go better

Jeez I don't even have a passport I am in my 30s I have 3 buildings in the capital of lagos and I am 100% legit and pls I have friends with better buildings and also my age

Even my sisters don't have one building in Nigeria after 18 years in yanks

Are you kidding me buildings in Nigeria are attached to abroad people this is the biggest joke I have ever heard pls come to my world I will show I too know this sector nijass Sabi spend money when it comes to real estate plssssss

Naija people don start oooooo....u have 3 building in the capital of lagos, yet u dont have international passport...how much does it cost to get a land for the capital and to erect building not to talk of 3 building....(lai mohammed junior)

Hmmm....my summary..there are 2 types of people for naija, those who never travelled/visited another country and solely believe that naija is the best place (based on thier fact) to live yet, they live below normal standard of living, and we have those who have have witnessed these two, yet the belive naija is a zoo, people are building houses in naija, abeg how many naija base get those building, its eida my bros for yankee day build am, or something something abroad must day the back of such statment (please dont mind my english)..more opportunity in canada...
Show me a millionaire/billionaire in naija that does his bizness locally with exchange rate...i hear say dangote day go saudi every friday for jumat...my country people, no be naira he day spend o....bottom line, money makes the world go round, so stay at where u will maximize ur income inflow + good standard of living.

Good day house, plz i need a clearance on this, my sponsor who happens to be my elder bro does not base in naija though he has an account here, how can i get his bank reference letter...??

Hmmm... Have read all through what everybody said about this issue, but believe me, from my observation, 70% of nigerian youths are employable, am a graduate and have done a contract jobs for like 2years before we were laid off but now am into fashion kus i was unable to get a job, so i delve into fashion and during this period, i realized that the best brain and hands are the ones paying for this trash, have met good brains who said since they couldnt get a job, they want to do something with their hand and brains, but note, nobody wishes to goes to school, come out with good grade and will not want to practice in his/her field. In summary, i will not agree with this write ups, kus if u have been there, u will know where the shoe pinches. Give us good and enabling environment, i tell u, nigerian youths are the best......

One of the problem about all these is u wasting ur money and time there only for u to see that it does not worth, though, one need to give a trial but the point is, u cant even trust the outsourcing firms too these days...make God help us, am thinking of going though

DEAR COLLEAGUE,

I HOPE THIS MEETS YOU WELL

You have no prior academic background in finance.

You have no work experience is finance.

You work in a law firm.

Hmmmmmmm;

From a lawyer to another lawyer, i think your chances for visa is incredibly slim. The grounds for refusal will most likely be "purpose of visit" considering your profile.

Please don't waste your time and money. Try as much as possible to secure a masters admission or look for a program that is obviously consistent with your law degree like ADR, Legal Research etc.

If however, you have prior academic background in finance that you probably didn't mention; then you can apply. A visa officer would be curious to know why you suddenly decided to change your career path. I mean after your LLB, BL and suddenly you switched to finance. It is simply inexplicable. Even me, i am already seeing you as an economic migrant not to talk of the VOs who are trained to be cynical and skeptical.

Regards.

Wao

Economic migrant, how can one do that...i mean this thred is for student, 4:01:36 PM do u have any idea of how to go about economic migration just as u siad....thanks

michV:
funny Gee!!! a Gee nigga!!! hustle must pay.
coming to the real deal. What have you being doing as you as 30+? employment/ meaningful activity should be explained to the VO with proves if possible. your plot of land is a home tie too as I presume you are single but you may respond to my above question?

Have been unemloyed for past 2years now, that was when i went into fashion when my first admission did not click. Thats my major concern of linkin what am doing with my course of study (social work/human resourcey

Hello to the gurus in the house, am planning to file for mt TRV after my admission offer, but the point is i dont have any money in my account,am 30+, i have a plot of land and my dad and my blood bro is my sponsor for the skool fees and other expenses....please, hope that wont affect my visa been granted...
Note: i have about 1m in one account which i got tru betting...can i use that too?? Thanks

Eraytee:


there is no biggie about your age, just that your hometies have to be on point, personal assets and financial status come to play. if your proposed course of study is well aligned with ur previous education and/or employment history. i think with good app you should be good.

Thanks, everytin is in place just the age issue...just that am into fashion and i can relate it that am working as as manager in the company where i work...

Jejelaye01:

Hello, the gurus in the house made it clear that age does not really affect your application. But for you to get a quick response, you must provide us with your undergraduate details, intended course of study at university of regina and your cgpa at UG level.

Regards.

Undergraduate is sociology and am goin for human relation/social work for pgd and my undergraduate cgpa is 3.47

Kelvinpam:
Greetings Xpensive...I tink most universities in Canada require a Second class upper for the masters Programs...I stand to be corrected doh.
I'll advice you go for a 1yr advance diploma program ...den proceed with your masters after you done.

Abt your second question, i had same issue with the university of New brunswick. The uni. i graduated from rarely use their school mail.
I had to check for others schools with less strict measures. i'll advice you check other schools and compare their requirements.

ℓ̊ am applyin to UNB as well, but ℓ̊ never came across that though ♍Ɣ academic referees has replied the forms...but the issue ℓ̊ have with them i̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ the GRE...

einsteino:


write the school. scan through their website for the email of their graduate/application secretary. email them requesting for assistance in editing and updating your application profile, provide the information you want to be updated and also your application number or details

Thanks

Hello house, ℓ̊ submit ♍Ɣ app yesterday and when ℓ̊ was goin tru the Fø̲̣̣я̅m again, ℓ̊ noticed ℓ̊ never filled in ♍Ɣ research topic Fø̲̣̣я̅ ♍Ɣ undergraduate which was requested...just wanna ask the house ℓ̊f am safe or ℓ̊ should write the skul to let them know....thanks

my brother these fonts will do you little to no good, help the room members understand your text by using normal format, and like some one pointed out earlier you need to work on that SOP, am not a supervisor or graduate admission administrator but I believe you can produce better.
*check the grammar, composition and be more creative. The essence is to engage them.

I wish us all luck .

einsteino:
i don't mean to kill your spirit but i have to say your sop is poor. First and foremost, you have to showcase a good command of english in your sop. what i do is getting someone else to read and correct my grammar. Also, I would advise you to break from the norm when writing your first paragraph, i mean the whole world knows the reason while you are writing is because you are applying for blah blah and cos its mandatory that you do. pity the review council a bit, they have over a thousand boring sops to read, at least employ a passionate and interesting hook in your first paragraph that would motivate them to keep reading.

Do not take an sop lightly, it is your only chance to talk to those making decisions on your application. see it this way, it is too late to effect any change on your academic qualification, you had that chance some years ago while you were still an undergrad and right now those transcripts are either helping out or working against you. if at all you have an excellent transcript speaking tonnes of your intellectual prowess, has it occurred to you that graduate study(esp thesis based) require a good deal of passion to succeed? the only way you can showcase your passion and address whatever needs explaining is by a powerful sop. A personal statement is more of a literally piece than formal, nonetheless beware of cliches. Everyone has his own style of writing, inshort some have coined a signature out of theirs... try and find yours. For those who do not know(i can see you have done your homework),A typical sop should address the following(not necessarily all of them and not limited to these ones listed)



1, Reason why you are applying(demonstrate your passion. example of an open paragraph..

Though i have always had mathematical prowess but it wasn't what endeared me to engineering. it is the engineer's ability to turn theory into solutions that interest me, i want to learn about how electronic systems can be designed and controlled.

see how i have showcased my passion and at the same time stated reason why i am applying and highlighted the particular engineering field?

2, what undergrad courses you have taken that are relevant to your graduate study(if you had good grades in them, feel free to brag about it modestly but please never ever make the mistake of defending your poor grades in a course by pointing accusing fingers at your lecturers. it will put you out as someone who doesn't take responsibility)

3, What led you to this path (did you just wake up and in the middle of a hangover realise you need to pursue a masters degree? )

4, o.k so you have passion for this,in your enthusiasm what have you done so far in respect to your interest?(it could be acquiring work experience, it could be consulting with your mentors, it could be acquiring professional certifications, anything at all that shows some seriousness)
5, Why this university? (seriously dude, you left all the universities in your home country for this one despite the fact that they don't require visas. even in canada, there are a many other ones that u could have chosen yet this one is your choice. what informed that choice? mind you your answer to this question would tell the kind of person you are)

6, What makes you standout(oh yeah your choiced university may be an asset to your career path, but no one wants a parasite... so what are you bringing to the table? why should you be chosen over a hundred others? incase you don't know, that prestigious name was built by their students, so are you someone who could be an asset to them?)

7, o.k in 2yrs time you would have that Msc that you flew all the way to that deep freezer called canada for, Where do you hope the skills you acquired from this course would take you to + future goals

a few tips, always ensure you use active and not passive words, irrespective of it being a narrative. Endeavor your sop is concise and cohesive.

LASTLY, i wrote all this to help and not attack anyone and i do not claim to be a monopoly of knowledge. inshort you employ these tips at your own risk.

Thanks man...really grateful

[quote author=soji0509 post=31270237]Hmnn !
What you have done is risky. Someone else might submit this even before you the real owner !!
You should have taken time to read back in order to identify individuals who are good and experience at the art of writing SOP.
You then PM (Private mail them) to assist you in proof reading. This is the mistake people make when they are too much in a hurry instead of setting out much earlier. The samples you may have seen here have been used to "chop" TRV already. If I were you, I will take this out of the public domain.I wish the very best
[/quote

Thanks....not that ℓ̊ copied a sample, ℓ̊ just followed the steps given and ℓ̊ write ℓ̊t out..ℓ̊ will definitely remove ℓ̊t now.please, ℓ̊f there i̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ anyone that can help out, am ready Fø̲̣̣я̅ corrections.thank u

please house, help a dear brother, i don't want to copy paste a statement of purpose so i write this with the guideline i got...pleas help me go through it and if there is any correction, feel free to correct me or better still u can email me @olutowo@yahoo.com. thanks

I, my name, use this opportunity to write to you on the purpose why I am interested in studying MA Economics at the University of. I am a Nigerian citizen wanting to study Economics at the Masters level. I chose Economics at this level because of the advantage it will bring to me at the future.
To start with, I had B.Sc in sociology from the University of ........ in Nigeria, where I had second class upper division and during this period I learnt about human relations, attitude and character which determine our ways of life. Albeit, after my University degree, I had another experience where the world goes round with buying and selling both locally and internationally, of which you have to know the technical know-how of the economic world. I engaged in my father’s agricultural business where we had to deal with both local and international clients who want to export these agricultural products. It is from this angle that I learnt that I have to get knowledge on the economic aspect of the business.
During my undergraduate days, I was opportune to write some economics course which gave the little knowledge I have about economic and why I want to pursue economics for my masters.
The Industrial world has opened my mind on the way things are down around the world and which one must have knowledge. For instance, the American Dollar dictate some economic strength of some nation in which Nigeria is part of and it is necessary that I know how this works so as to flow with the exporting clients that I work with.
I have written a project during my undergraduate days on the “Economic Growth and Incidence of Crime Commission” in a location in Nigeria which helps me know that our economy dictates our ways of life. Also in my agricultural business, I need to know more in depth about the economic laws that governs some situation in which am ready to learn e.g., the laws of demand and supply etc.
I choose to study MA Economics at the University of ........ because they have a strong commitment to its student success and provided a platform where its students can carryout their research wok with the help of their research supervisor. I have contacted some lecturers in the department such as Prof Tony Myatt, Prof Ted Mcdonald, Dr Paul Peters, as one of my research upervisor and am waiting for their response to these.
I look forward to securing an admission to the university and shall be grateful if this is highly considered.
Thank you.
