No body can predict chances here.... this visa thing , a lot of it is subjective. One thing would work for one person and wont work for another

If this the situation you have on your plate.. work with it. Apply, prepare well and hope for the best

Thanks for your thoughts.
You are always willing to give a word or two.

I will hope for the best as said!

If admitted without funding or less funding and you hope to augment it with personal funds and also students loan with the personal funds taking the larger percentage.

What chance does this leave one at the embassy?

You cannot defer your admission after you travelled (you have to leave or fall out of status ) but you can defer it before you travel on F1 visa .

If you were previously issued a visa, you can use this visa for a later date, as long as your visa has not expired....... You would need to get an updated I20 and also be prepared to explain why you defered if you are asked At POE.

Thank you for this.

My admission is due for June/July but expecting the out of mouthwatering short time job for September by same June.

Reason I want to be sure of what step to take.

Thank you

Hello guys,

How can this scenario play out, one you have Admission for summer to resume Mid July, and ofcourse you have your visa but maybe for one reason, you can't resume then anymore and you have the school defer your admission to the entry date which could be November or next January.

What will happen to your visa status knowing fully well you have 30 days to arrive based on the i-20 you have initially which says July.

Pls

Anything more?

What program are you applying to?

Enrollment deposits are common for most competitive programs. It is normally a non-refundable fee. Some schools charge up to $5K enrollment deposits.

You can't run away from it. Schools use it to fill spots especially if they want to have a specific number of students annually.

Ms sports management.

If you have any which school run this program and who demand all of these pls suggest for me.

$21K tuition is not very expensive compared to other schools. Some public schools even have more expensive tuition for niche masters like computer science, IT and data science.

However, where you will shell out more $$$ is on living expenses. But San Francisco is San Francisco - if you utilize opportunities in the environment well, it will pay off ASAP especially if you already have relevant work experience in your field... And assuming it's a tech field

I had a session on Skype with a rep in the office in the school and even promise to help me waive the application fee of $50 but said I must pay an upfront of $700(refundable if visa don't work) upon admission before my I-20 wil be sent.

How can I navigate this pls

USF is a solid school... A feeder to most tech firms in the Bay Area. The other school, I don't know about it. USF might be expensive though - you might want to make sure you have the $$$ covered. If you still need another nice Bay Area school, check Santa Clara University.


You might want to confirm from your school if they still accept students for summer/fall start dates. An email would work.

If you have HND, do WES evaluation and go for masters. But first, confirm from your school if they will accept your HND without WES evaluation. If you don't know about WES, I suggest you start reading the thread from page 1. By the time you get to page 5, you should be better informed.

Write the GRE if you want to attend a good engineering school. GRE or GMAT works for business schools but GMAT is mostly preferred especially from the recruitment angle. Whichever works for you...

The Masters course for USF is $21,000 for 23months so I suppose that should be too expensive plus I am not sure they give any Financial support.

Pls guys, I will need your candid responses.

I want to apply to University of San Francisco for a Master program and also to southEast Missouri University for undergraduate, firstly are these schools flagged?

I plan to register for their July entries, I hope I am still in time?

I have a good HND grade result here and have a good experience in my field so I hope I can bypass the TOEFL test atleast for the masters course as I don't exactly think I need it for the undergraduate, or would it be needed?

If there is anything else I will need to do, pls guys lemme know.

Lagos Inter Club Competition: Quilox pips Didoz to win inaugural urban club competition.

The City of Lagos was thrilled by some beautiful display of football as various Lounges, Bars and Night Clubs in Lagos engage themselves in a competitive yet charity football games at Lekki Phase One, Lagos in an event code name Urban Clubs Charity CUP (U3C)



After over two months of intense preparation by the organizers and the participating teams, street football via 5-A-side was served to the fans of the various outfits just as the fans were entertained at Funturf, Lekki.



Wednesday 6th February, 2019 will be a date to be remembered for a long time as it gave birth to a competition that will engage our youths positively for years ahead using street football while playing in the names of reputable Clubs, Lounges and Bars as they promotes the youths in their location of operation.



According to the CEO of Uptrend Sports the unique event organiser, Suara Abass, this competition is meant to give plenty of distinguished elements, reputation and recognition to street football in Lagos as there are a lot of competitions here and there but constantly get marred by various issues and vices due to it disorganized planning hence defeating it purpose.



"When you have ballers play in the name of credible organizations with great reputation to protect you will expect them to be at their best manners and coordination which will help instill discipline in them, one thing that can help them have a prolonged career in the in the game and become good ambassador to the younger once", Suara Abass stated.



He continued saying "while it is an industry meets for the nightlife runners, it also serve as a means for them to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities and give back to the less privileged. We also urge for the support of corporate organization for subsequent editions to ensure we can reach every nook and cranny of Lagos and even beyond in an effort to harness the abundant of talents on the street and also give them a pathway in their careers."



The Urban Clubs Charity CUP was a success as there were plenty of live performances from musical artiste and freestyle football was also served by Nigeria quarter finalist in the National Freestyle Football Championship, Benjamin John who actually wowed the fans with some amazing display of tricks and flicks with a ball.



In the next edition we hope to see more Clubs, Lounges and Bars in their hundreds across Lagos put in for the competition to engage youths in their locations to fly their brands as Quilox became the champions of the inaugural edition with Didoz VIP Lounge were runners up.

Other participating Clubs/Lounges are 355 Restaurant & Lounge, De Cabana Lounge, 2G1 Lounge and Club OXYZGEN

Politics / Moghalu, Sowore, Durotoye & Co....the Real Winners.... by brainy02: 6:21pm On Dec 15, 2018
MOGHALU, SOWORE, DUROTOYE & CO....THE REAL WINNERS....

By Desmond Ekwueme



Hate or love me for saying this, it won't change the truth....a very bitter one for that matter. The rot and failure of our system, talking about our politics, democracy and governments since independence have caged Nigerians into two choices or option ahead of the 2019 Presidential election....

Muhammadu Buhari and Abubakar Atiku.
The led has deliberately or otherwise agreed to the dictates of the leaders, talking precisely about the ruling class. The failing formulae of North/South rotation of the president or presidency if you like which keeps throwing up establishment candidates and choices or candidates of the ruling class in every election has ensured that the people, the Nigerian people and nation have no option but to tow the lines, will and wishes of the ruling class even when it is obvious that there are better candidates and choices to lead the country in every election outside theirs. Incidentally, the failing North/South rotation of the presidency has created more divide along ethnic, religious and cultural lines. This has led to the cries of marginalisation even as the screaming voices are suppressed through nefarious and inhumane methods. The end product is the call for restructuring and fiscal federalism.

If only Late Umaru Yar'adua and Goodluck Jonathan were not establishment choices in 2007...extending to 2015 which ensured that they were not absolutely independent-minded in decision-making perhaps we would have had the NEW NIGERIA of our dream. The country we crave for. May be both men would have performed better than they did at separate times in power. They were from the academia. They had age on their side....and above all, they had a kind of appeal of newness or freshness even if Late President Yar'adua had an idea or feel of leadership while his elder brother was No. 2 man under the military regime of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo between February 13, 1976 and October 1st, 1979.

Talking about youthfulness, newness, sense of direction and purpose, the Presidential election of 2019 has thrown up the trio of Omoyele Sowore, Kingsley Moghalu and Fela Durotoye among others. Any of these should be the candidate or choice of Nigerians or Nigerian voter below 60 years. Any of these should honestly be the choice of a Nigerian voter who is futuristic in thinking. Any of these candidate should be the choice of a Nigerian voter who truly desires change. Any of these candidates should be the candidate of a Nigerian voter who wants an end to establishment candidate or an end to the candidates of the ruling class or an end to the theory of "the status quo must remain".

Sadly and ironically, the same Nigerians including Yours Sincerely have been systematically and politically gagged to focus on just two candidates.... Buhari and Atiku....the establishment candidates or candidates of the ruling class.The voting pattern will take this shape irrespective of what we think, say, feel or assume. The reality on ground is that the ruling class has made it mandatory by principle for the political class to coerce the ordinary and unsuspecting Nigerians not to look beyond Buhari and Atiku....the same way we had MKO Abiola and Bashir Tofa in 1992/93 and GEJ versus PMB in 2015.

This political arrangement can only fail if and when the electorate, the voters, the masses or the ordinary Nigerians wake up from their political slumber to take their future in their hands and shun the stipends and handouts they receive from members of the political class who are indirectly controlled by the ruling class. How this will come to pass depends on how much awareness an average Nigerian has politically or betterstill how sophisticated he or she is politically.

How this will come to pass depends on how much awareness an average Nigerian has politically or betterstill how sophisticated he or she is politically.

Like legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti once said in one of his hit songs Nigerians are "Suffering and Smiling". Change of this stereotype leadership style can come when Nigerians stop "Suffering and Smiling". It can come when they start thinking like Moghalu, Sowore and Durotoye among others. It can come when they decide to take control of their future by relegating the ruling class to the backseat or background.

Talking about Durotoye, Moghalu, Sowore and co, they may not win the Presidential election but they have made a strong statement through stepping out (to contest in the presidential race) that the future is truly here....and now....and for the youths who were harassed and silenced by mere remark tagging them lazy. Such remark may have sparked off the real change in saner clime....but sadly, not here.

Durotoye, Moghalu, Sowore and co have boldly looked into the faces of the ruling class to warn that some day, the table will turn against the latter. They have bravely announced to the political elites that a NEW ORDER is here in Nigeria. They have confidently yet successfully announced the birth of a NEW MOVEMENT. With and through their involvement, they have declared unequivocally to the ruling and political elites that soonest, it won't be business as usual.....as we all won't lie down facing one direction....at least not forever.

Indeed, I make bold to salute these guys and their guts. They have shown character, resilience and determination where some of us have failed and continued to pretend, grumble, cry, faint, complain, criticise, bootlick or worship members of the ruling and political class. For me, it doesn't matter if these guys win or not come 2019. They are the torch bearers of and for the youths. They are the leaders of the vanguard of the NEW ORDER. Win or lose, they belong to the class of Emmanuel Macron of France, George Weah of Liberia and Justin Trudeau of Canada among others.

It is now up to Nigerians to think of their future and how best they want their country to be governed perhaps after the Buhari/Atiku battle royale. The future is here but can be postponed just like the doomsday as usual. We have been doing this since 1960. It is a circle Nigerians seems to love. It is upto Nigerians to decide to make or take a bold shift from the past which is polluted by ethnicity, religious extremism, class differences and mindless looting of the nation's treasury by the ruling class....

It is about time we embraced the future where leadership won't be considered on any of these satanic factors. It is time, we stopped talking sbout experience and age as leadership factors. Gen. Yakubu Gowon was 32 when he led Nigeria. He was not even married as at the time he took over the mantle of leadership of the country. He may not have satisfied all as a good leader but there are no upto two leaders to be compared to him in terms of performance. Until Nigerians see reasons in the emergence of Moghalu, Sowore, Durotoye and co, we will pitifully focus on Buhari and Atiku in the 2019 Presidential election....and sadly continue to embrace establishment and ruling class candidates.
Moghalu, Sowore, Durotoye and co have played and will continue to play their part as history has noted. The choice is up to Nigerians.

I salute you my brothers Moghalu, Durotoye and Sowore among others for stepping forward most courageously thus reminding us of the youthful but leadership days of African heroes like Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, JohnJerry Rawlings and Nelson Mandela among others.

Nigeria will be great again!

I've not used mi box but according to reviews, it is a nice box.. The 3 boxes fall under same category, but magicsee C300 and Kii Pro are good for satellite enthusiasts like me... I like experience new free to air satellites channels. So for that reason, I choose c300/kii pro over mi box.
Again note that mi box 3 doesn't come with SD card slot...

If you get the money, go for magicsee C400... It is one of the sweetest box out there right now...

I am also enjoying GTMedia at the moment, and I am just in love with the box for now. The box quality, the interface and the output...

This satellite compatible boxes, is it HD or just mpeg4 I mean for the satellite. I know the android part of it is HD depending on the channels but the satellite lone now
