xtayle: Anyone who pays 4 US Visa Lottery is a maga. I know people who tactically play several entries to increase their chances. One person can even win 4 or 5 and sell some of it.

To confirm if your photo matches with the requirement there is a link to the photo validator that will check your passport if its correct or not.
Some 1 said earlier that he hasn't see any1 that won with work experience, It seems a guy won here on Nairaland in d DV2012 with that.

Thanks all,this is quite educative and an eye opener unlike the usual tribal and religious wars that nairaland is known for these days. E.g ileke idi,haji haram,afam4ever and the rest of the warlords please quit the fighting among yourselves but take the battle to doorsteps of our leaders cos all of them are the brains behind the woes of this country.they are all business parters and friends but they won't hesitate to play the tribal and religious card for their own selfish goals.so guys and gals e.g ileke idi and co,pls wise up and stop being used to achieve their purpose. Lovely topic,give it up everyone.

Yes you can use your phone but read:
The image file can be produced either by taking a new digital photograph or by scanning a photographic print with a digital scanner. The image
file must adhere to the compositional and technical specifications listed below. Entrants
may test their photos for suitability through the photo validation link on the e-DV website
before submitting their entries. The photo validation provides additional technical advice
on photo composition, along with examples of acceptable and unacceptable photos.
Compositional Specifications: The submitted digital image must conform to the following compositional specifications or the entry will be disqualified.
„h Head Position
o The person being photographed must directly face the camera.

hair, to the bottom of the chin) must be between 50 percent and 69 percent of the image's total height. The eye height (measured from the bottom of the image to the
level of the eyes) should be between 56 percent and 69 percent of the image's height.

covering is worn for religious beliefs; even then, the head covering may not obscure any
portion of the face of the applicant. Photographs of applicants with tribal or other headgear not specifically religious in nature will not be accepted; photographs of
military, airline, or other personnel wearing hats will not be accepted.
Color photographs in 24-bit color depth are required. Color photographs may be
downloaded from a camera to a file in the computer or they may be scanned onto a
computer. If you are using a scanner, the settings must be for True Color or 24-bit color

Re: DV LOTTERY 2014 Preparations by mrkels(m): 11:47am On Sep 28, 2012
[size=13pt]@brightmoon and others answering questions , to be frank you guys are trying, some of these questions are shocking and annoying and these ans can be found on the internet, for free self. People are just too lazy to find out things for themselves, now look at the person above me asking when its starting when it was clearly stated on the thread when it would start, even if the person didn't read through the whole thread, can't you just google it? Or go to their website? I dislike people with these lazy attitude[/size]
