About 2 weeks ago, I initiated a request via email, Linkedin, and Twitter to the graduate school of the University of Alberta asking that applicants from Nigeria should be exempted from submitting English proficiency tests.
I followed up with a reminder on Monday and as of today, I am happy to inform you that Nigeria has been added to the list of countries in which English is the official language of instruction. All the best to applicants!
Together, we can achieve a lot!!!

A typical email format for a position you saw online:
Dear Professor Adeniji,
My name is Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi from Efon Alaaye, a recent of graduate of microbiology, Efon Alaaye University. I came across the advert for the position of XXX in your group at XXX.
Athabasca University joins the list of universities in Canada that has delisted Nigeria from its list of non-English speaking countries after Igbalajobi started sending emails to different schools.

So a couple of days ago, I was invited to a webinar to address how to write an SOP (Statement of Purpose). Unfortunately, 10min into the event, It was hijacked. I have decided to share some of the points here:
Do you have 2 years of professional experience and are eager to study in Germany for free plus stipends? Wait no further. Check out the Development-Related Postgraduate Courses (EPOS) DAAD fully funded
programs
SOP vs. Personal Statement
A Statement of Purpose (SOP) and a Personal Statement are both types of written documents that are often required as part of a graduate school or scholarship application. However, there are key differences between the two:
2 of my followers recently arrived in the US for their masters program. Both had HND and yet they got full funding!
Nothing is impossible!
Just focus and explore several opportunities!
From Twitter to Instagram and Linkedin, I promise to use every route at my disposal to engage every university that does not recognize Nigeria and other English-speaking African countries as English speakers!
Visa Officer: Why are you visiting the US?
Me: I am attending a conference and I will be presenting my findings on Cryptococcus neoformans
Visa Officer: Crypto what?
Me: In broda shaggi's voice: my bad, C.neoformans is a notorious fungal pathogen......
Visa Officer: Thank…
As of today, I have engaged over 35 universities across the globe to exempt English-speaking African countries from the English proficiency tests yielding 6 positive results!
We still have a long way to go!
For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
Amazing testimonials everywhere. My people don arrive USA finish. Time to focus on another batch😀
I may not have money to disburse as giveaways, but with scholarship info, I go choke una😀
From Monday to date, a total of 7 universities both in Canada, the US, and Japan have been contacted. The demand is simple:
1. Update their stale list of universities in Nigeria
2. Recognize Nigeria as an English-speaking country!!
GKS cold email format:
Dear Professor Lee,
I am writing to express my interest as a Masters student under the 2022, Korean Government scholarship program in your group at the University of Efon Alaaye, South Korea.
This day 9 years ago, I ran away from home with N16,000 (USD100) to pursue my dream in South Korea.
The first thing I did was to call my parents that 'I am so sorry, I had to leave without telling them'
It was a rude shock to them but it ended in praise!
These are my personal emails with the University of Alberta.
I do not have to chase clout before I represent my constituency!
My mantra entails EQUALITY and INCLUSION in academia!

Special thanks to my brother
