Crime / Re: Thief Caught Stealing From Redeemed Church In Lagos, Beaten & Paraded Unclad by theSpark(m): 10:26am On May 30, 2017 |
I don't know why supposedly enlightened people jump to conclusions especially when churches are concerned. Granted some churches have lost it but quit showing hatred while pretending to be objective. If a thief is caught stealing many times the people who mete out jungle justice are neighbors. Whether you choose to forgive or not. They'll still beat the thieves. And there's still a possibility the church was unaware. 1 Like |
Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by theSpark(m): 9:09pm On May 29, 2017 |
RexCheeng: Hello people. I am a prospective grad school applicant and an ardent follower of this thread, I thank the many altruists who selflessly render assistance in one way or the other on here. Congratulations to those who recently got their visas and goodluck to those still awaiting funding decision.
I recall the many sleepless nights, all in the name of reading one of the success stories of some of folks here. I relish those moments, as it galvanized me and gave me assurance that hardwork truly produces fruits. I read many transcripts here; drhopeful, happyday, sureb0y, imperiouxx, sirriddy, bigfrancis21, MsNas, DanjaNinja, to name a few. However, as assiduous as I was with this act, I am sure I didnt see it all, I barely accessed 50% of the wealth of information sitting idle in this goldmine.
This was definitely not due to my ineptitude, I recall sirriddy confessing that he; on the day he took his GRE, sent his scores to some schools he didnt eventually apply to. A couple of others are still in the rut; choosing schools that rarely offer funding or assistantship, or placing all hopes on 2 or 3 schools because of unavailability of funds only to find out that the nebulous information the graduate coordinator provided was merely a bait to 'chop' your application fee.
The solution I am about to proffer isn't a panacea for all your grad school obstacles, it is merely a solution in fact, depending on the response it gets. However, it is a good place to start from. I was inspired by Mark's graduation speech to Havard Class of 2017 about connecting people.
I created a google form to accommodate information from folks who have applied to graduate school. This will enable prospective applicants have an idea of the school they plan on applying to or schools they can apply to. The form is astoundingly succinct and will barely take 2 minutes to fill; corrections are very welcome.
This is the shortened link to fill in the info; http:// bit . ly / 2s4JJx6, (copy and clear the blank spaces) I hope the moderators don't pull this down. I also hope this turns out to be as good as it sounded in my head.
This is the shortened link where prospective applicants can view the responses provided http:// bit . ly / 2rvSy5Q (copy and clear the blank spaces).
Obrigado. Lovely. Thanks this will help in no small measure. 3 Likes |

High everyone, I've been a shadow Follower of this thread for some time. I've downloaded the needed materials, bought my exercise books and I hope to squeeze some time after work to get grinding.
I plan to write in September, hope I'm on track? I plan to apply for Urban Planning. I've started making a list of schools.
To be honest, anytime I think of the exam a fisherman's knot forms in my tummy. I hope I eventually overcome the innate fear of the exam.
I wish all of us success. 2 Likes |

allrightsir:
firstly what is the purpose of the Army? ....In Nigeria everything may have been bastardized but the Military exists to protect the civilians..lets not forget that is their whole purpose of existence. Secondly is the president who is the commander in chief of the Armed Forces not a civilian?
With that in mind, this is the military hierachy
President and commander in chief Minister of defence chief of defense Staff chiefs of Army,Navy, Airforce. You're quite right NNAMDIIIpost=56760056: Minister of defence was once a General in the army! After the President is the minister of defence followed by Chief of defence Can the minister order deployments or muster troops? Just asking |

NNAMDIII: bro Secretary of defence in Nigeria is called minister of defence! He's more powerful than CDS and COAS He was talking about the most senior military officer in the USA which is the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff which he mistook for the civilian Secretary of Defense. I doubt of the minister of defence in Nigeria wields more power than CDS or COAS. For one he's just a civilian administrator 2 Likes |

There could still be a lion population in Kainji National Park. That's where most wild Nigerian Lions are.
The yankari population must have seriously depopulated or migrated. Cos I remember they tried the call method to find out their presence without success.
Turn your searchlight to Borgu or Zugurma in Kainji National Park. |

thanks but this is not feasible in Nigeris where we have no constant power supply to power the pumps and other equipment that maybe required in that process. It is possible in Nigeria. The central parts of Abuja have it. It is just our inability to do things right and penchant for mediocrity, that's why they abandoned it in outer parts of the city. 1 Like |
