I would love to share my experience.

I actually participated in the commonwealth interview in which I fared well but I eventually got the regret mail.

For you to be accredited, you must have the following

1.Your Original degree (M. Sc) applicants and both Original degree and M. Sc degree (PhD) applicants.
2.Academic transcript
3.Medical certificate of fitness from a federal teaching hospital or state hospital
4.Original O'level result be it NECO Or Waec
5.EAS print outs ( 4 copies)
6.N.Y.S.C discharge certificate
7.State of Origin Certificate
8.ission letter from any U. K University.

Out of these 8, if you can't present 4 or 5,you won't be accredited which implies that you won't be interviewed.

Last year interview was tedious and unorganized. Present yourself at the accreditation Centre very early and write your name before you will be given a tag with a number which will determine when you will be interviewed.

The interview will take play at Nanets Suites. Please endeavor to write your name as that will determine when you will face a of 3 professors.
You will be asked questions as follows but it doesn't follow any pattern.
1.describe yourself or can we meet you?.
2.Where do you hail from?
3.What's your course of study and what did you graduate with
4.What's your research topic and how will it develop Nigeria

You should be up to date with political, socio-economic and religious happening in Nigeria
You should be able to say one or two things about Commonwealth ie date of creation member countries etc.
You should know names of political figure head in Nigeria ie full names of Mr President, V.P ,governors etc
You should know states and capital etc.


I actually fared well in the interview last year but I had some shortcomings
1.I didn't go with my academic transcript
2.I didn't have an offer of ission from any U. K University
3.I didn't go with evidence of publication and awards.
Mehn, all the supervisors gave me Zero in those columns.

To be honest with you guys, If you have all these intact, your chances is high as you would have to fight off other candidates from your state. I reiterate that If you have a First class you are sports on. I am saying these based on personal experience. Three of the guys I became friends with who were first class graduates got the scholarship.

I noticed some anomalies in the whole process. There was corruption on a grand scale as supervisors were seen collecting telephone numbers of aspirants. But I don't take excuses for my failures. Yeah I was denied a first class in my university days but I won't let that deter me from achieving my goals and aspirations in life.

I couldn't apply this year because I am yet to get a copy of my transcripts and I am yet to be offered an ission into a U. K University. I am yet to publish my work in a journal. Hopefully I will apply next year when I have these in place. There are no mistakes in life but lessons.
My friends got the commonwealth based on merit and the GRACE OF GOD.

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THIS YEAR'S COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEW.
I PRAY THAT THE MERCY, GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.
Please should I print 4 copies of ission letters?

PhilJames: 7:23pm On Nov 27, 2016
KingJB:


If I were you, I would come a day before, lodge somewhere and get prepared.
But if I insist coming on that day, I would take a drop from Jabi garage to Arewa suites instead of trying to enter along. It should be in the range of 250-300 sha.
Thanks. Please is the FSB office close to National Mosque?

We know that people hardly know everything about their partners at the beginning of a relationship, because most times, couples are not willing to disclose everything about themselves from the outset. Let’s say you’re in the middle of a serious relationship and discover your partner once had a blood covenant with an erstwhile lover, would you go ahead and marry that person?

If you use quality feed, 5kg of feed should conveniently give them 2.5kg.
In this case;
Average price of feed 3100/25kg = 124 per kg × 5 = 620
If you get DOC at 150/chick
Drugs and others 50/bird
So you spend on a bird 620 + 150 + 50 = 820
820 × 300 = 246000.
Note; It may be higher if DOC is above 150 naira.
Thanks alot. It was quiet helpful... DOC cost around 230-250 in the east
PhilJames: 11:37pm On Sep 02, 2016

I will like to know your target weight.

If your target is 2kg, you will need nothing less than 220k to raise 300 birds.

Note: the calculation is base on average of #3100/25kg of super starter and finisher, #150 DOC and #50/bird for other expense.
my target weight is 2.5

AIG07:

thank God you're no newbie.

3 cartons should do(you shouldn't be spending above 160k).

With the present inflation . I can't really give u d exact cost estimate. Unlike during d first quarter of d yr when most prices of feeds, med, etc were stable. I mean d era of #2700/bag(25kg) for super starter, 2300for grower n 2650 for finisher.
Things are super-changing.

i think folks planning for xmas chicken or already into t will be good source of information. Over to them.
Kinda sorry i don't have d latest information.
Thank you bro. I appreciate ur contributions.

I'll only advice u to go for 100birds*2cartons of 51 each* (i didn't mean to belittle ur potential n capability) but it will be safer...
Hope u get t sir.
Not my first time. i hv reared 100 twice now. Just wanted to increase d stock to 300 wt 200k
