For More information on Masters Scholarships. Read the following links extensively. Take notes and ask questions. My DM is always open. I will get back even if I may be temporarily busy. Check the Country embassy in Nigeria as well. Countries like Germany may ask for
money to be deposited in German accounts. With the internet, you don't really need an agent (some don't know what they are doing and some are scammers). Send your statement of purpose to people that can review it for you to stand a better chance. Goodluck
America always wants the best students from around the world to come. One of the ways they know you are one of the best is your SAT score if you are applying as an undergraduate.
If you have a very high SAT score and a good transcript from your secondary school,
You stand a chance of a Full Scholarship. Contact as many schools as possible with your SAT score, Email the international admissions office, ask if they have merit-based scholarships for international students.
You can then send your SAT score to them.
You may be required to write an essay. Please let someone proofread this for you. Please pay for this service if you can. A lot of schools collect application fee.
NB: Do not be desperate when applying for visas. You will be an easy target for fraudsters.
Lets talk money this Monday Morning. There is a famous equation of Money,
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
A lot of Nigerians are not exposed to this equation for two reasons.
1. We are too poor, so banks don't offer us credit, 2. We are not familiar with this equation, to full
details.
Asset is anything we own, like a car, a house, a phone.
Liabilities are debt,
Equity is what percentage of that asset is ours.
E.g, I bought an Iphone recently on 0% finance. (they checked my credit score)
That Iphone is an asset. My Equity is Zero, because
I paid no deposit on it. The liability is the total cost of the Iphone.
I have now been given the power to own an asset, but I still have to pay my monthly payment. If I dont, they will take the Iphone from me and damage my credit score.
A lot of people are asking about undergraduate scholarships. Please check through the following links. I have put different countries in it. My DM is open for questions but please look through the information very well. Some countries visa requirements are easy, some are hard,
so find the path of least resistance. Check the country's embassy requirements and see if it is achievable.
Scaffolding is another area of construction we are not benefiting from because we are not building enough high rise buildings. There are 27,000 registered scaffolders in the UK according to CIRS. The UK has circa 60 million. Say Nigeria 200m we can train 81,000 people
If we are aggressively building. These are skills that are in demand. Some scaffolders earn more than the UK Prime Minister in terms of salary. Scaffolders earn about £40,000 a year.They don't need to go to school. Just training and certification. But we need to build aggresively
My Father had a vision, but my mum backed it and enforced it. Iya Wale is a disciplinarian. No nonsense mother. She is fierce, tall, and beautiful. Despite how bad we were suffering, people will see mummy and ask her what cream she is using. Na adi agbon we dey use. She has no
money for make-up, just small powder, and she is ready. All around ilupeju, if any child is out of control, they will take him/her to Iya Wale. Ara a bale (he/she will learn). We did not have a television in the house for years because we couldn't afford it. Uncle Ganiyu Gilo
(very popular in ilupeju) may his soul rest in peace; got us a second-hand one at a meager price. Even at that, my mum doesn't want us watching it for too long. If she steps into the room and sees you watching TV. Her first questions are, have you done this, this, this,
