So I am a little confused with the whole fee waiver issue for MasterCard scholarship applicants at UBC.

From what it seems, as I’ve seen this issue happening to other applicants too, the application fee wasn’t waived via the link they shared with me. And I just found out about this today. Considering their MCF office takes a hot minute to respond, and it’s now holiday season, I feel compelled to pay the application fee so as my references can have ample time to submit their part(s).

I’m just wondering whether paying the application fee would in one way or another put a red flag to my application considering this scholarship is oriented towards the economically disadvantaged — of which I am. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The people having issues with the fee waiver applied to the wrong program.

There are two different Master's programs for same course at UBC. There's one taking place in Vancouver and the one for Okanagan. If you mistakenly chose the one for Okanagan, you will NOT see the place to apply the fee waiver.

If you go ahead and pay, you've paid for the wrong program which isn't ed by MasterCard. It's the Vancouver one that is ed.

Let me know how it goes.

It happened one afternoon that I was returning to my apartment and I usually take a tricycle popularly known as Keke straight down to my small street.
.
Normally Keke is supposed to take just 3 engers at the back.. but as Nigerians, we know that there's an extra enger seat in front making it 4. �
.
So three of us(a lady, a young guy and me) were already seated waiting for the last person. A well dressed man came around asked for where the Keke was headed, after getting a response he proceeded to sit close to the driver.
.
In this part of Lasgidi, Marwa drivers are particularly concerned about collecting their money first-hand before even starting the Keke because well, they're experienced enough to avoid "issues(akuko)" relating to change, disappearing engers who intentionally refuse to pay etc.
.
So this driver started collecting money.. he collected from three of us at the back, and asked the young man seated in front for his money. The man opened his wallet and unfortunately couldn't find any naira note less than N1000 as he was supposed to pay just N50.
.
Trouble started as he tried to give the driver 1k apologizing that he thought he had some little cash on him and needed to move quickly.
.
When stuff like this happens, I think these drivers try to show that they have "power" at least over the person who gets to sit in their "plane". The driver arrogantly told the man to come down that he's not carrying o. The guy was still pleading that he had to go with us and would collect some change from a nearby shop when he alights.
.
As the drama was unfolding.. the guy sitting with us at the back told the driver to leave the man, that he will pay while handing the driver 50 bucks. The man looked at this guy in surprise and asked him "you paid for me?" At which the guy responded "yeah, don't worry." The man just smiled.
.
As the Keke moved, he pulled out his wallet again, took out a couple of 1000 naira notes and handed it over the the young guy. The young guy asked "for what?" The man just said, "Don't worry just take it and thank you."
.
It was like film. The young guy did not experrit, but well he collected the money and said thanks. While the man said "don't mention." �
.
It was instant reward for concern, care and saving other people from embarrassing situations when you are moved to.
.
It's not just about "possible" reward from people, God sees you too. You may or may not get rewarded or appreciated by people you want to help. It doesn't matter.. just keep on being a great person who is willing to help those in need when you can. There is always a reward from the physical or the spiritual end.
.
So make it a part of your resolutions to be more willing to help others come this new year.. A surprise from God or man might just be around the corner. Once again thanks to my writing buddy who motivated me to write this. ✌�

No need to run away. She’s old enough and legally within her rights to move away from her parents place!

However because of the cultural peculiarities around here she has to have reasons which may include work and/ or marriage

She must be financially empowered though because once she leaves that woman won’t take her back
good

I have walked in a similar shoe before and I can tell you staying quiet and giving her mum less attention could make her mum adjust and she find peace.

It is wrong. Fine. But then what is wrong or right is relative.
And if all she has been getting is insult for pointing something as wrong to her mum, then I believe its high time she applies wisdom.

Fair enough. Thanks

I know of someone like that.majority of kids like that end up having low self esteem or looking for love outside.is too bad.the girl will have to endure.where can she go.if she lives how will she survive.even if she is hardworking.men will say she has one sugar daddy even without knowing her history.it is well

That's just my thoughts. Even if she leaves the house which looks plausible.. how will she easily survive disconnected from her family. Can she really survive without any or from the only family she knows with this low feelings of self which her mom has programmed into her? #myconcerns

The mother is set in her ways and can hardly change at this point.
At age 20 your friend too isn’t a baby anymore and should know what sets the woman off!
It’s better she avoids butting into those things with her even if they’re clearly “wrong” as you put it.

She should focus more on sorting her own life and exiting that house as soon as possible either by career or by marriage!

This is spot on. I also thought about it. So technically running away from the mother seems to be a good idea here?

Her mental and emotional health is definitely important.

If she's 20 years, well maybe she should get busy. If she's lucky to have a close relationship with some family , she can decide to stay away for a while.

She also should stop opposing her mum except it's something that would greatly effect her happiness.

Lastly, your views maybe far from the truth. Same way her mum have no good reason to say such words to her daughter.

Thanks for apt response. But if you were in her shoes, would you rather choose be party to something you know is wrong by keeping quiet than express your views for the sake of your "happiness"?

Hi nairalanders,
This should be the first question I'm asking on this forum and I hope to get some very reasonable answers.

There's this girl, a close friend of mine and a neighbor(no strings attached) who confides in me as regards issues troubling her mind.

She is about 20 years old and she has a very abusive mother. Sometimes, I hear her voice screaming sometimes late in the night and I hear some very damaging things said to her by her own mom. Things like "You're a witch," "You are very useless." "You're not my daughter." "evil soul" etc. I've heard these words myself late at night from her mother. So when she comes telling me her mother curses her with damaging remarks, I don't doubt her because I hear it myself. She also says her mom sometimes starves her for days without food to eat. And I really felt sorry for her, sometimes gave her something to eat.

Then I asked her why her mom behaves this way to her and she said it's simply because she sometimes disagrees with some actions her mother wants to take. This girl's father died a long time ago and so the mom is the only parent she currently has..

Now, this girl.. from personal observation.. is a nice girl. I know my street and I can tell the bent from the straight. To the best of my knowledge, I've not seen her misbehaving or doing anything to offend her mother. She's not staying late nights or bringing weird friends to their house. She tries to be a good child.

But the mother maltreats her anytime she tries disagree with her on anything she(the mother) wants to do. I have learnt that the mother is not even in good with her own family and the family of her late husband. So.. I feel the mother is the problem here.

I thought maybe she was a maid or probably an adopted child. But when I asked questions about her to the elderly people living around, it was widely agreed that she was indeed her mother and some of them were present during her naming ceremony.

This whole thing has beat my imagination because I don't understand why a mother will be so cruel to her own child to starve her occasionally and repeatedly call her damaging names all because she shares her honest opinion on issues.

I don't really want to get involved because I may complicate things for the poor girl who is yet to gain ission to the university and who barely has anywhere else she can call home.

Her mental health is seriously affected daily, she seems depressed and I really don't have a clue on how to advise this girl.

I feel a lot more people may be going through this but who can they talk to? The world tells them it's their mom and they have to endure. But this is extreme.

Any advice for her?

Thanks.

elnino2015:
I presently work in Delta and earn 150k monthly. But truthfully I am unhappy with my job for so many reasons ( poor working conditions, no career path or growth in the company, nonalignment of present job with personal career goals).

I recently got an offer in Lagos, where I will be earning the same 150k for a period of six months( the first six months is training) before I'll be absorbed fully into the company after which my offer will be reviewed. The issue I have here is that I don't know how much my offer will be reviewed to after the training, though from my enquiries I can say between 200-220k.

Guys do you think this offer is worth relocating to Lagos for considering the high cost of living and stress in Lagos.

Please I need advice preferably from Lagosians.


A company willing to pay you 150k during your "training" period is really a company that really cares about your welfare considering the reasons you gave earlier on why you don't really like your present Delta job. And they'll definitely pay you much higher than that after the six months of training.

It's definitely worth the move. But first you must figure out the location of the company and make enquiries about accommodation, so you can plan your movement around it.

The biggest challenge here in Lagos is traffic, so you must be living somewhere close to your place of work if you don't like stress.

I have looked around me and I've seen that one of the strongest motivating factors for a man to cheat on his wife or his lover is the inability of the woman involved to provide for herself. In other words, the woman is constantly dependent on the man to provide even the most basic things for her.

This kind of woman is more like a liability to the man involved and he feels that he has a right to cheat on her given that the woman doesn't really have much to offer him but her incessant demands. This is what has spurred me to write today's blog message to the wise modern woman.

Love is a beautiful thing. I'm tempted to say that it "used to be" a beautiful thing, but the truth is that genuine love will always remain a beautiful thing which every human being needs to experience in this lifetime. A life without love is almost meaningless and empty. Love really makes life rewarding. However, the real meaning of love is gradually being destroyed on the alter of money and sex.

A lot of women these days have started understanding and redefining love with material things. To them, a man who provides for them, gives them money all the time and buys them gifts(irrespective of who the man is) genuinely loves them.

In other words, all it would take for them to fall in love with you as a man is: give them money, spend on them at expensive places and buy things for them. That's all! Your attitude, your little acts of care and affection, your personality, your character doesn't matter.

And why are lots of these women defining love based on material things? The answer is very simple and not far fetched: Many of them cannot provide for themselves.

A woman who cannot provide for herself in today's world will get easily deceived by men who are willing to spend on them, not because they love them, but because they just need to get access to her cookie. Women who are jobless and cannot fend for themselves will not be able to look beyond the money and the gifts and see who really loves them and who doesn't.

I'm not saying it's wrong for you to accept money or gifts from a man who claims to love you. I'm saying that you should be careful that you're not blinded by those things to see this man for who he really is.

If you could cater for yourself as a young woman, you will care more about falling in love with a man for who he is rather than the money he may be showering on you. I'm an advocate that a man should spend his money on a good woman. A man who is genuinely in love should surprise the woman he loves with lavish gifts once in a while. This is good.

The only problem is that men who don't care about you are also willing to do the same.. So if you're defining love based on who is spending on you, can't you see the danger you stand if you are carried away by the spending?

To be in a better position not to be carried away, you must be up and doing. Learn a skill or a craft. Apply to jobs that you can handle. The world has changed and equal opportunities are opening up for both men and women in various sectors.

Why don't you take advantage of these things and live on purpose? Attach your life to goals and not to a man. When you're on track, your eyes will be opened to see the right man for you and not the one who wants to deceive you. And when you finally tie the knot with him, he will value you and your opinion because he knows the kind of woman you are. He knows you're not a liability, but a precious asset to him.

This is very important to you as a young woman. If you're reading this and you're already married or single without anything you're doing to yourself and your family, you better start thinking and planning of how to start earning. Being able to cater for yourself financially gives you voice in your marriage, relationship etc. It also gives you respect and value.

I don't want you to be at the mercy of a nasty, cheating and wicked man simply because you cannot provide for yourself and without him you won't have money. That's disguised slavery. It's imprisonment because you know this man doesn't love you one bit, but because he gives you money, you stay. Talk about carrot and stick approach.

A word they say is enough for the wise. Empower yourself career wise and financially as a lady, keep winning!

To the rest of us who didn't make the list(only 3 people selected from my state), don't worry, you can always rise up and try. Opportunities are endless.. You just keep pushing.
The tension and anxiety are now over. Time to move on quickly to greater things that lie ahead.
