Ahmed4002:


You welcome.
Feel free to reach me in case you need some more clarification.
Would definitely revert back to you if am chance.

I'd need your help concerning the form.

massinola:

It's a shame that your mind is full of hate, inferiority complex is your problem. If I should ask you where you are from, I won't be shocked to here Anambara or Imo. You guys can only wish to be from Wawah, but wishes ain't horses. You can only use this your stupidity on non easterners who don't know east. Those who do know that no state in the east can be compared to the wawa state. Name your state and let's compare.

Why did you have to drag Anambra into this? Why not just attack the idiot directly?

NonsoWow:
Wawa land is backward.

You are a classed idiot

tealaw:
I knw where he is.
He is with a ritualist.

This is not cool.

Dikembe:


Hi, I called the FlexiSAF guys earlier today and they said all we had to do was on the site. But after following your instructions above, I think we need to do more than just . Thanks to you, I have managed to get through the first part of the DAAD application.

Give me their please. . .can't the page where I saw it.

sagaciousmind:


I would say it depends on the relevance of the professional bodies to your intended course of study and to your career and personal development. For instance, if you plan on specialising in a field of Engineering that focuses on Risk and Safety Management, then your professional hip in these two organisations will contribute immensely to your application. So if you feel that your professional hip has contributed to your career journey or has a connection to the intended program of study then it wouldn't be a bad idea to include it. You can even include in your statement of purpose a thing or two about the experience you have had as a member of these professional bodies, the impact it has had on your career and personal development and finally tie it to your future goals with the degree you will obtain with the scholarship.

Hope this helps. You can email me at [email protected] for assistance with your statement of purpose or research proposal.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate.

salahudeentope:


Add everything even if it's landlords' association (joking about this though). Essentially anything that can remotely your application please add.

you're in a competition with a lot of people and since there won't be an exam, all that will be taken into consideration is what you submit as part of your application.

Cheers and good luck

Thank you very much.

Academic transcript
Recommendation letter
Degree certificate
CV
Study project/ Motivation
Invite from host institution
Time schedule
Miscellaneous (this could be a certification)
List of publication

All in PDF formats

This invite from Host Institution sounds confusing. Thought we weren't to apply ourselves? Thanks for the tips given.

All of you that is done with the application, the form filling is another area I feel we'd have problems (let me speak for myself). How did you scale through? It's tough trying to do that.

sagaciousmind:


I strongly believe the personal statement will count towards the selection of outstanding candidates from the applicants' pool. According to the information on the scholarship website, there are 4 criteria listed for assessment of candidates:

1. Academic merit
2. hip of professional bodies
3. Viability of the study/research plan
4. Statement of purpose

Do Red Cross and Nigerian Society of Engineers (which I was a member of during my undergraduate days) count?

I ask again - do you think Buhari will be a gentleman during 2019 elections seeing that many Nigerians gave him the "thumbs up" to trample on our rights since 2015?

I mean, someone who never accepted he lost elections after contesting thrice?

Also, the way I'm seeing old names resurfacing, when will Uncle Gbawe return seeing he was the chief campaign manager here on Nairaland?

CC: Plaetton, LordAdam16, freeze001, Salamrushdie

LordAdam16:


So you actually believe there is any politician currently in Nigeria who would prosecute his core ers?

You know your problem, you think Nigeria is a first-world Western country. This place is a 3rd world country where people still vote based on religious and ethnic sentiments. Where Buhari would get 12 million votes in 2019 whether he campaigns or not.

Tell me the politician you believe in Nigeria who would prosecute his core ers. Just one name!

-Lord

I'm glad Buhari won. At least, I won't hear "He is the best president Nigeria never had". Nigerians should enjoy their change.

Saryea83:


There is a confusion on DAAD Application:
I equally ed the DAAD form, filled it and was about ing 3 days ago when I called Flexisaf Staff who told me I should not do so, rather just to on the website, whereas deadline for DAAD submission is Jan 31, 2018. Can this be cleared please
@DeMainMan
@Flexisaf

That's my confusion too.

Let me ask y'all - do you think Buhari will be a gentleman during 2019 elections seeing that many Nigerians gave him the "thumbs up" to trample on our rights since 2015?

I mean, someone who never accepted he lost elections after contesting thrice?

Also, the way I'm seeing old names resurfacing, when will Uncle Gbawe return seeing he was the chief campaign manager here on Nairaland?

For those who did not read, it's not Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

obiscapula:
Please guys I've been furstrated for the past one week. Anambra seems not to go through for State of Origin. Then I got informed by a friend that Rivers and Enugu has same issue. Please anyone from these states that has proceeded past bio-data page should let me know. Thanks

It went for mine and I'm from Anambra. Keep trying or call them up to complain. Their should be on the first page.

Good luck!

Another Cyriacus Izuekwe story?

Sapiosexuality:
Black Panther is easily my number one. I will enjoy Deadpool too. Lol. That dude, Ryan, is an asshole talker. I have a special love for Thor and as long as Chris H. will be in it, with Downey Jr(Iron Man), another good talker, I just can't miss an Avengers. I enjoy Loki's talking and disguise too. I'm surprised we are not having a Fast and Furious 9 already. Lol.

I am really looking forward to Black Panther (I think he's my favourite Marvel hero) and Avengers 3 - Infinity war too.

kingofthemall:

Everything can't be explained here.

Why not just help in giving a hint than writing that?

Sozaboy:
Because we are all confused about DAAD. I called the Flexi guys and they are confused too. They couldnt answer some questions and said the instruction simply says on the DAAD portal.

However, I dont think reguistration alone cuts it. Thats just like ing on PTDF portal without submitting an application

RonMos:



Which site please?

XtraSmooth404:


I wonder why nobody is answering any question about DAAD registration.

mercyp001:

pls bro,put me tru on how u ed on d daad website,i am still unable to . thanks.

Hey all, just found this out, thanks to a friend that hinted me on visiting PTDF page.

1. Go to the original PTDF page using google search or click this link https://ptdf.gov.ng/2017-2018-ptdf-scholarship-scheme-overseas-local/

2. Click on scholarship and once the link is open, click on the + sign under ; the link to ing on DAAD is there (I do not know if it would work here) - https://portal.daad.de/irj/portal

3. Once open, using your email, then, they will send you a link to activate registration.

4. Sign in after activation.

5. You will see different tabs which have the following Start, Project Funding, Personal Funding, Insurance etc.

6. There was nothing in Start but instructions of which I'd advise you read.

7. Click on Personal Funding and a list of suboptions will appear.

8. Go through the tabs on Personal Funding; for me, I skipped to Application.

9. Once on the Application tab, select Nigeria-German Masters Program 2018. (that's where I currently am and still figuring it out).

Note: as you follow the above, please, ensure you read properly and double check.

You're welcome.

Dmainman, a little help needed here. Is it that we should just with DAAD or are there certain things we have to fill (I ed the DAAD form and what I seeing there such as project supervisor etc. requires us applying ourselves). Please, modify your post on DAAD as the deadline is on 31st Jan.

maclatunji:


Do you know that according to Chinua Achebe, appointing a king was a form of taboo in Igbo land? Most Igbo settlements were villages nor heavily populated, poorly equipped militarily. They could not withstand the superior military might of the Binis and their allies.

All those guys had to do was organize raiding parties overpower the Igbo resistance and that was it.

Poorly equipped military yet, they waged war against the British for close to 40 years. The Binis have never claimed to conquer Igboland or fight them unlike when of recent, Lagos and Ado-Ekiti were being debated. I really do wonder where you get your history from. Isn't it Maclatunji, the one who enjoys twisting things to suit his purpose?

sapientia:


If i tell you to stop rewiring my brain with this your Tunde and Emeka now, you will starting talking humaniod and ETs again..

But seriously.. aside the comedy i enjoy in your Matrix posts... your Tunde and Emeka is an intelligent piece... let me simply get female names and start mine.. All these undue hatred and jealousy must end this 2018.

LOL! Of a truth, the narrative has been making sense.

bibe:


The Nri kingdom which influenced most of Igbo culture and civilisation was the oldest kingdom in present day Nigeria by historical sources and at it's zennith expanded up to margins of then and yet to metamorphosize bini empire.

With the birth and Rise of the bini empire it also extended it's influence further west crossing Agbor and up to present day Asaba (this why you have a lot more igbo cultural influence than that of bini in this areas) before it's fall.

Thus the Nri kingdom being the older had consolidated is influence way before and longer before the bini empire did.

On the contrary, I think the Nok culture (from which it was claimed the Yoruba and Bini culture are an offshoot of it) was the oldest in present day Nigeria.

Lordave:
I don't think you were referring to me but I me chip in, anyway.
What influence do Edo people had or have on Igbos?If Edo had an influence on Igbos it was on people of Onicha and the influence was contained there in Onicha or maybe a bit further into Anambra and not Igbos in General as you and your mischievous fellows are trying to paint it.

Your last paragraph, though. Where there ever a German, Italian, Greek or Roman invasion of England? How do you explain the so many borrowed words in English language?

Your ignorant self won't let you know that there is no superior language. You think inferior languages borrow from superior ones.

Even the Bini influence on Onicha is debatable. I mean, people would always refer to Eze Chime (a reverse migration which occurred then) as if there weren't people living after the Niger river.

P.S.: I do not think it went further down into Anambra.

Abokii8:
Stages of the application this year
1) Application
2) Shortlisting
3) Interview
4) Selection
Those who are to be shortlisted will be required to submit their transcript prior to the interview. Those with an attractive and complete transcript stands a good chance of making it to the interview. Your performance at the interview will determine whether you will be selected for the OSS or LSS (there is no separate application for LSS this year).

I'm curious. Do you work with PTDF or was there something similar last year?

demonstrate:


We cannot sit down becos we are next.

They already did testing on Enugu.

My exact fear After Benue, Enugu is next. Then if what is being written about Kogi state government and how they handle the herdsmen issue is true, Anambra is on radar.

Bloggers sha!!!

This is what happened at a wedding venue between Ganduje ers and Kwankwaso's.

Y'all trash this news.

ionz:
it could look better than her but not better than me.. *I am wonderfully n fearfully made* sex dolls are plastics and mechanically made..
our differences
I don't need to be charged / they must be charged
I have feelings/ they don't feel, if they talk it all wat has been programmed for them to say.
e.t.c

Only God will save this generation

All the food wee you dey chop, no be charge you dey charge? If you no chop, you fit do anything?

For your other points about feelings and materials they are made of, don't worry...those are coming up faster than you think. The dolls you are seeing are prototypes; their full potentials are yet to be seen which you will by the time AI comes alive. That's when you'll see dolls that would engage you in interesting conversations after sex. Most of what I've written below would be incorporated into these dolls.

Well, not like I this sexdoll thing.

Honestly, the future is somewhat exciting and scary - building materials to be made from self replicating materials that would repair itself when damaged just like your body does, the numerous energy that would be discovered etc.!

BTW, these sexdoll topics are becoming boring. . .

Lajet:


Some of your people keep on disgracing igbo people always. why must you attached ijaw with Igbo . you mean that Igbo can't stand alone i have never seen any Ijaw person attaching themselves with Igbo. This shameful act must stop. Majority of Igbo people in real world don't care about this Minority group only in Internet we see all this shameful begging of Minority group to be together with Igbo. IPOB failed because of this attach by force

I just tire for some of these guys for here. Daily they reduce the Igbo ethnic group as beggars.

OP, please, this time around, it is all man for himself. Stop dragging Igbos into unnecessary e-battles and insults.

TonyeBarcanista:

Are transporters in parks not private businessmen operating for profit? Cattle breeding is part of the activities that adds to the economy and further the Agriculture subsector, so yes, it is the job of government to ensure ease of doing business.

With a grazing territory they would remain in business and still not trample on crops of farmers like the way they are doing in open grazing.

Beside, if they were Ijaw/Igbo, I will advocate same...

Meanwhile, who says a non-Fulani can't go into cattle breeding business when ranch is provided?

The bolded has been happening in the SE and we have not heard of cases of a cattle owner causing harm and destruction to farmers there so ranching is nothing new.

Sapiosexuality:
Bro, you see, young people are reading. People with un-formed minds are reading and they are easily deceived by aesthetics and semantics. They are easily confused by topics like this and our silence is a disservice to the nation and humanity. By replying him we give them something to think about and if they are good enough, they are always innocent, they'd know what to pick.

This is apt. I can count the lies (which I am not ready to point out as those names have been deactivated) he has told which have been bought by people both offline and online.

plaetton:


Painstaking garbage.

Why massaging the issues ?

Who are the both sides in this issue that this mor.on refers to?

The murderers and their murdered victims?
The survivors who are mourning their losses and the criminals still at large ?


The article is shallow and empty, the kind of empty, cowardly rhetorics that are peculiar to politicians,. But in this case, not just any politician, but ones who think they owe some kind of axx-licking allegiance to the Fulani fiefdom in Nigeria.

The writer shockingly omits to acknowledge the increasing tempo of mass murders committed by Fulani herdsmen against community after community in Benue and other states over the last few years.

The writer plays the proverbial ostrich by pretending that recurring events of Fulani herdsmen ( yes, FULANI herdsmen) and their or.gies of mass murders are simply misunderstandings between two friends or communities.

The writer painstakingly omits to berate the federal government and body language of the present leader , whose very loud silence and tepid response to these mass killings does nothing but embolden the killers.

Funny that this writer used much harsher words to berate Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, who, throughout their angry struggles with Nigerian state, neither carried arms nor threatened any Nigerian citizen with violence.

When I realize that we have plenty of people with a very dishonest and cowardly disposition on very critical national issues like the writer, it makes me want to vomit. Seriously.

There is only one side of this issue, not two.
People, a mass of people , are being repeatedly murdered and genocided by FULANI herdsmen , who happen to enjoy the of the present government, at least the president, for sure.

Stop trying to obfuscate the very very sad issue.
It's a grave insult to the victims, and emboldens the terrorists that they have legitimate grievances.

Apt again.

The write-up reminds me of how the IGP dismissed the whole thing and reduced it to a "communal clash". He is definitely eyeing a very big position in the future hence why he is trying to be politically correct.

Teempakguy:
astonishingly, it does!

I mean, of course it does, IF the post above is true then it makes sense that we're all basically black and as such, each feature that is unique to each race is a result of adaptation. Therefore, intelligence should also be a result of this, and it makes sense:

intelligence is the ability to learn fast, adapt to new stimuli and find patterns quickly.

From this definition, it's pretty obvious that people who migrated would need to be more intelligent than their peers who stayed home. In the face of changing climate, new fauna, diverse terrain, and deadly new plants, stupidity would select itself out, only the smartest ones would be able to figure out how to keep adapting to their new world.

What immediately follows is war. Clans and tribes fighting, first over resources, then over territory, then just for the rush, and in this case as well, only the smartest clans would win out. Back in Africa, food was plentiful(sort of) territories were marked out by natural features such as rivers and thick forests, and nothing changed for millenia! Of course we turned out dumber. Our ancestors did the same thing for thousands of years and it worked, of course, their descendants would tend to blindly stick to what they knew and hope things would turn out better.

Again, closely tied to intelligence is curiousity, which I guess is what would propel anyone to leave their comfort zone and explore, so here we're looking at a race with curious ancestors, who were naturally selected for intelligence, versus a race with ancestors who were comfortable and who never had to come up with new ideas to save their own lives.

When you look at it that way, the fact that the true blacks, us, have been able to almost catch up with the rest off the world in less than two centuries is amazing, given the fact that our ancestors primed us for repititive tradition and lazy consumerism.

Expect a certain moniker called Ross...ki to quote you and insult you. Wait for it! But I see your point.

Blakjewelry:

the cradle of civilization is the middle east and that is hundreds of thousands of years after a lot has happened in Africa which are unwritten history. most of transition phase take place in Africa except you want to follow the Bible view

You know, I initially thought the cradle was Egypt till I read that Mesopotamia is; hence why I asked that question.

Well, I agree about the unwritten history.

BTW, technically, I don't think it's a wall but a moat. I am talking about the Benin structure.

You are doing a wonderful work keeping us informed both on FB and here. Thank you very much!

My first comment on sex dolls here and what I thought of the first time I read it (when people were saying that they cannot entertain you as they are immobile or are bigger versions of baby dolls) has come to and it was this: we are yet to see the full potential of these dolls.

No matter how we look at it, these bots will keep evolving, from using advanced materials to make better bodies for them to studying the rhythm of pornstars/survey conducted on couples by data scientists/other persons during sex. Who knows? You may even be able to the behaviour, including how they talk, of any of your favourite IndecentStar OTA. Then they'll prolly advance to a ghost-in-the-shell like character where they actually look and feel like real humans and try engaging you in your interests via an interesting conversation after you have been satisfied.

I hope there won't be a skynet here where the bots would stop following the three basic laws that govern them according to Asimov because that would be gory to witness.

One thing I am curious about though is this: how do they dispose of the semen in them? Do you wash it away or are there some kinda chemicals one pour into the 'supposed' sex organ of the machine?

Berlyn1:
I doubt if she Will be able to call out some Africa names. ..

Please, doubt no more for it will happen! As long as AI has come to stay, the bot will self learn.

Emac:
Hello dear nairalanders I need your help with a mixed confusing challenge and that is the statement of purpose or personal statement for Msc. Here is my confusion;

Challenge:
How and what do I write about my SOP? when I have chosen 3 different courses as instructed and not so relating eg.
Management science and engineering while my second choice is environmental science also the third choice being renewable energy and engineering.

Question :
Do I make three statements of purpose, or do I pic one course and write a statement of purpose and finally do I just state or write a general statement of purpose that covers all the courses above ?

Please I will be glad if I can get a favorable answer, thank you.

I am in the same dilemma with you bro!

Joexwizy:
Hi guys. how do i apply? can someone kindly share the link, please? thanks

Go to the first page and read through. All needed to know is there.

AceDomino:



That's very funny... Why would they think that? Can Satan moonwalk ni?

Apparently, history (biblically, if I am not mixing things up as it seems there is a verse in the bible that alludes to it) has it that Satan, initially known as Lucifer in Heaven was--if I recall correctly--the angel who handled entertainment and anything music was through him. So it would be safe to deduce that he can.

Well, some of them detested anything they call 'worldly' music; even the generic ones. That was back then when I was little till I started thinking for myself.

P.S.: make una no ask me whether I don see devil before or whether I don go hellfire as neither has happened.

Dearestme:

Initially thought you were a certain Chidinma I know till I went through your posts and found out you were Libra while she is Capricon.

You're pretty though!

bodyonchecheche:

Lol those are just the things I'm interested in, I'm not very outgoing is what I mean

Lol really? I work in tech/engineering sha

You've changed your name again?

AceDomino:


I am not understanding

LMAO!!! Let me explain better, what he meant was that his dad 'thought' the dance was from the kingdom of darkness, say na so den dey dance for hellfire. Yeah! Some of my Sunday school teachers thought the same then.

AvsGot007:
oh my man M.J.... I wanted to be like you when I was young... I got the the mo walk and rest dance steps then but popman said na earthworm spirit wan use me, said it's demonic!....story of my life!

This story is funny! Earthworm spirit killed me!

See such innocence especially that of Janet Jackson.

So I encountered a place where one is asked something concerning Academic publication. Any idea what to do there apart from skipping?
