Light switches and sockets. Seems this is how the sockets and switches are generally here in US cos its the same thin i see everywhere i go. One good thin i like is the fact that these sockets are everywhere in the house so u can plug in anything anywhere. You can charge ya fones in the bathroom, toilets, kitchen cabinets etc wink

Haha na moto person wan buy?
That is pretty expensive, better worth the cost.
I got a Roku TV for less than 250 dollars. The exchange rate makes it hard to know the value of things in naija these days anyway but that amount is still outrageous.

I do not believe you can buy any TV here in the US these days that does not have an ethernet/Network port in the back and WiFi built in. All these TV's come with apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Pandora, etc. With unlimited access here, you just connect the thing and go!

Unlimited access cost varies depending on download/upload speed. But I would say between $35 - $70 depending on your package. The key thing is - it works uninterrupted. Or RARELY interrupted. A very good Smart TV, say about 50 inche,s can be had for about $500.

It seems. People just sees you as too strict. By you're just saying the gospel truth about what is obtainable. Pls can I know which school offers the cheapest tuition for international students and most preferable in your opinion. Thanks
Check the following schools:

Memorial University of NewFoundland
Brandon University
University of Prince Edward Island
University of Manitoba

Memorial has a good program in oil&gas, computer science and other engineering course, the also offer entry scholarship for graduate program in any field. Truth be told, Masters admission in canadian universities are very tight. But then again, you can jumped through it without hassle. I hope you have a good grade in your undergraduate result.

University of Manitoba social science program are the best. Very cheap tuition as well.

Some of their colleges tuition fee is recession friendly grin

I am not disputing the availability of such items in Nigeria but over there, it is a common necessity not luxury as we see them.

Sneaked into the US and claimed refugee. They denied him then he sneaked into Canada and claimed refugee. Canada will listen to his claim and will most likely grant his claim. Parts of the US/Canadian border is not guarded by custom agents. Actually a large amount.

Considering starting up a blog along with a social media account -maybe instagram or snapchat (as suggested by a nairalander), that way, I can upload videos as well.

I intend to remain anonymous for the time being though.
