NEWS FROM UNN 2

CONCEPT NOTE: FORMAT AND EVALUATION Call for Proposals is now in two stages: first, the submission of a Concept Note that briefly describes the research project idea or concept; next, submission of the full application form after initial evaluation. These concept notes will be evaluated; and the best concept notes will be selected and the successful submitting researchers will be asked to submit the full Application Form. The quality of the Concept Note is most vital. In the Concept Note you will submit an analysis of current situation and a chosen strategy, leaving the more detailed project development information for development of the full proposal after you have been selected to submit a full proposal. Your project idea, however, should be well thought through before you start completing the Concept Note. This is very important. So take the time to develop the project idea as well as you can.

Recuperating...

The day had been a rather very tedious one, that you could imagine how happy I was to see dusk. I hated Thursdays not mainly because of the end of week tiredness, but the double periods of practicals practically sucked life out of me. As I and my group members trotted out of the lab, the excitement that greeted the arrivals into the lab had waned into tired faces and legs, eager to get back to the hostels to refresh and rest before the various night activities on campus would start. I glanced at my wrist watch and winced. I would definitely be missing the evening mass. I can't imagine myself walking any faster than I was, neither was I going to rush my food in the restaurant. "If the Lord would not understand ", I thought to myself, "then I am sorry". I excused myself from my friends who were engrossed in their chitchat and made for the restaurant. At least, that would be a very nice starting point in this journey of recuperation. I placed my order and w...

Religion? Spirituality? Christianity?

Is it they who go to church, or they who lead good or honest lives, irrespective of what religion they affiliate to??? The truth is that everyone believes in something, whether it appeals to the neighbor or not. Christians believe in Christ, Muslims in Mohammed and Allah, Buddhists in Buddha and each sect claims theirs is the best, and the others will rot away in hell.

I have 25k in my account, and u have 40k. Somehow somehow, I love good things and I always go for what I want, albeit reasonably, but u always recall ur a student whenever you want to spend! I see a pair of shoes I like, it's 12k. I price and price and they sell for 8k, I pay and smile. I get a good shirt and a belt together for 5k. I see other things I like and I put them down in my "to get" list. In ur mind, You can't imagine a student wearing such expensive stuffs, but you won't tell me I'm wasting money. You don't want to spoil our friendship, or rather, you know I won't listen.

“It first began as a dream in 1934 in the mind of a 30 year old Nnamdi Azikiwe. He saw a desperate need to nurture from our own land, home grown elites, who would not be dictated by the influence of colonialism.
