Theymos mightn't be willing to add new source to the general forum but will obviously consider to add a new source to the Nigeria board so make that known Charles-Tim and don't hide it.
You are absolutely right, but because I have applied before and also because I have posted it on this thread, I will not want to create a new thread for it. I think The Sceptical Chymist is very right as well. Let us leave it on this thread, but I will try my best to make it visible that I also applied for Nigerian merit source. I have edited the title already. I have also edited the OP to begin with the link for my my local board merit source application.
I am of the opinion that the only obstacle standing between you and merit source status can be if the Nigerian local board already has enough merit source members. If I remember correctly, at some point there was a discussion where the wish was expressed to activate local boards. Bigger circulation of merit in local boards is part of that idea.
Is there any information, on how many merit sources are active in Nigerian local?
