Religion / Re: Can Someone Who Is Born Again Not Know The Date He Or She Was Born Again? by sbot: 4:20pm On Nov 07, 2021
Yes.

It’s an encounter so you’d sure know the date and event.

Mine is 30th Sept., 2004.

Thank you bro, any reason why I shouldn't?

It can damage your engine. Moreover your car isn’t a performance car or one that requires premium.

Scored 313 or close in GRE, Toefl na 102 or close...

Had work experience of about 5 years...

My SOP had a compelling story..


They knew that without any incentive, I wasn't coming there as I'd get other options.

God bless you!

Nothing open bro. The car is still like Tokunbo. It shorts oil because I use it for bolt. If I use it normally like office workers, it won't short oil.

Though I met a mechanic today who said I should try oil treatment. I mean, there's a liquid they mix with the engine oil before pouring it in.

If you have Pontiac Vibe 08, Tokunbo, then come let's exchange. I can add small money smiley

Don’t use the ‘oil treatment’.

I was considered for part tuition waiver without needing any additional application...

Just the admission application was what was used.

Even "eaty" deh get scholarship for yankee, make your application profile look sexy. wink

Wow, this is soul lifting.

Not sure you did any exams like GRE and the tests? Or there other packaging you did?

Sorry for the bother.

Good afternoon all,

I just got admitted into the University of Arizona for the 2022 fall semester. However, I am sad that I was not given any form of scholarship to reduce the expenses.

I want to find out if it is feasible to be given visa without getting scholarship.

Sorry to hear that.

Please what’s their tuition like if you don’t mind me asking?

Please do you have trusted hand on business thread to put me through on how to open a domiciliary acct? If yes, please let me have the monikers.

Just walk into your bank and let them know you want to open one.

Just like you have a savings account, current account, then you could have a dollars account, pounds too.

Tell them to open all for you once and for all.

I don't have knowledge of all this things. I want to invest but I think I need to take my time to avoid had I know. Buying of dollar sound good though. Thanks boss.

Relax,

Open a domiciliary account. Have someone who needs naira give you the dollar equivalent and send to your domiciliary account.

For instance, there was a time $1 = 420 naira. If you had bought say $1k, you could sell for a 560k naira right now. Do the maths.

Bless you!

Education / Am Vs I’m by sbot: 4:37pm On Oct 30, 2021
This isn’t to bash no one.

Far back in the year 2016, I do use these words wrongly but I discovered my boss at work uses it differently, I then took conscious effort to correct this and it’s been working for me.

E.g.,
I’m coming home.
I guess I’m the one you’re talking to?
Am I the one expected to do that?

How to overcome this?
1. Conscious effort.
2. Proof read; even if it’s your chats

Don’t feel bad, just keep it in mind and you’d be fine.

Cheers!

Concentrate on surviving the first year...

Find an inexpensive school (my school was like $7,500 per semester to the school) and get enough money or a plan for money to survive the FIRST Year.
If you don't drop out in the first year you'll find a way to complete the program.

Appreciate you as always.

Been having issues finding cheap schools, perhaps you’ve got some recommendations.

Any other person can also help with cheap schools.

Much gratitude!

Yes Sir, whole tuition amount you'll need to survive a full year - mostly two semesters (Spring and Fall).

As stated above, the school estimated $25k as what you'll need, my breakdown was to show you can use less.
Some parts are fixed - tuition and fees. For living cost - you can cut this down to bare bones.

For the second year of the program, you'll need an equivalent sum spent in the first year.

Hope I have been able to explain it and not confuse you more? wink
My hourly consultation fees high o, no try to come private. cheesy

Bless your heart boss.

Wow, so in this your case for instance, we’re looking at roughly a $40k?

Haha, at the consultation fees.

Hello people,

Please can you help with universities one can apply to for master’s degree, preferably affordable ones?

Also, is there any ray of hope for Spring 2022?

MackyNaija:

My school cost about $25k per annum according to the i20.


But one can do...
Fees $7500 (fixed)
Living cost in a shared apartment (variable) ~$350 monthly, $4500 a year
Feeding $2000 a year (variable)
Misc $2000 a year (variable)

Total is about $16k, if it exceeds that amount it wouldn't go beyond $20k but the i20 says $25k.



Not having this knowledge is why people delay starting the program sooner. Some people spend less - the school fee is the only fixed cost and the rest depends on the individual.

Could you help explain this per annum?

Does it mean that’s the whole tuition? Pardon me if I’m wrong, are there no two annums?

Thanks in anticipation
