Vulturereloaded: Thank you for saying this. At the time APC took over in 2015, $1 was NGN189. 8 years after, the dollar is reach NGN615. Imagine what another four years with APC will look like knowing historically that dollar rate don’t come down. APC have failed Nigerian and we don’t need to reinforce failure. |

Yeyeoldman: I hate it when people like you use Dangote, Otedola and adenuga as your yardstick for success. These guys are part of the problems in Nigeria. They have monopolized every f**king industry in Nigeria and killed competition at the same time. The ease of doing business is at its lowest and you cannot follow their blueprint to wealth. Atleast in the US, we see successful enterpreneur and we can follow their blueprints and still achieve success. The CEO's of top tech companies in the US are mostly foreigners. Heck you can't even get a job in DPR or NNPC in your own country because your name doesn't sound fulani or you don't know anybody in the Presidency. Anybody that have ears listen, if you have a way of traveling to the US for studies or whatever.... just do it. The US is a land of opportunity if you have the right qualifications and work documentation....heck even if you are just hardworking alone, you go still make am. it would not be easy at first but you will make it as long as you have determination. 6 Likes |

Even if Atiku bribes his way to be the Presidential candidate of the PDP, I will still vote for him. If he plans to even sell Nigeria to the highest bidder, he has my vote. Nigeria under a "corrupt" Atiku is better than a Nigeria under a "nepolistic, tribalistic, unaware, cabal-controlled and demented" President like Buhari. NEVER AGAIN will a "lifeless" President represent over 190 million Nigerians. We say no to Next Level Nepotism, disobedient to the rule of law and lifelessness as a Nation. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

APC, BMC and Nairaland Official "Zombies" should come up with something better. This propaganda will not fly like they did in 2015. Nigerians are wiser now. We foolishly fell for the propaganda of 2015 but now we know better. The choice before Nigerians in the coming election is simple: A choice between going backward with the APC Next Level scam OR Atikulating forward as a nation; between Next Level oppression and herdsmen attack OR Atikulate freedom; between desperate power-seekers with empty Next Level promises OR Atikulate Job provision. Right now, I am OBIdiently ATIKUlating. ATIKU is a goal, back to Daura is the mission. 22 Likes 1 Share |

decide: Your GPA is not competitive enough but It is going to secure you a PhD admission. To enter a top tier school with this GPA, you need to work on other areas of your profile like scoring very high in the TOEFL and GRE (165/170 Q & V). In addition, try and publish in a peer review journal. Try and publish your BSc and MSc thesis in a peer review journal. Those are the other ways to improve your profile and get admitted into top tier schools. 1 Like |

Klebsy: Two days is fine but communicate with the International Student Program Coordinator in your school telling him/her that you will be coming in 2 days late after school starts. Make sure the person gives you the go ahead or maybe does a covering letter for you. Also have the person's contact on standby just incase the Customs and Border Protection officer decide to call your school. |

miharbs: Instead of posting your success transcript, you are here complaining over nothing. Wait for three business days, as long as you get your passport stamped with your visa, there is no problem. You can use a photocopy of your I20 to present at Point of Entry if the one he collected is not returned with your passport. You can still enter the US a day or two after the program start date but try and meet up with orientation. 3 Likes |

You can't blame the security guys. Train a child in the way he is to grow, when he is old, he will not depart from it. That is what the bible says. I am just hoping that this is not a question of "sins of the father being visited on the children". 3 Likes |

Olufemiopa: Forget ranking, those ranking are subjective and are for undergraduate studies. If you wan to go by ranking, then you should ask yourself "how well ranked is Lewis University in terms of MSc in Organizational Leadership in the US". I read your transcript and seriously you did not answer your questions like a serious student. You answered like an intending immigrant. Review your responses and try and work on your profile. Already, your profile is in their system based on the denial for the B1/B2 you applied for. Try and improve your profile or work on your responses before you refire. |

omoluabiguy: The best thing is to be silent on the number of months. Just state 30 credit, 12 unit course work, 12 unit elective and 6 unit research as the case may be. In my case, my I20 stated 36 month duration but I can't mention that I want to spend 36 month for a Masters degree so I was silent about it. I just stated the number of credit units I will be doing. I do not know whether it is standard for most school but the minimum is 30 units for thesis Master and 36 units or more for Masters by coursework. Hope this helps. |

NothingDoMe: Money is not number 1 bro unless you mean money for application, GRE testing and all. As far as the education and fee payment is concerned, there are people who did not go to America with one naira and they are studying or have completed their studies with full funding. The secret lies in having a stellar GPA in your undergrad, choosing the right school, choosing the right course of study and aceing your standardized test. There are lots of fund for education in the US. STEM courses are also well funded. It is left for you to access these funds. Try and get good grades in your undergraduate study (4.00 and above, better if you get a !st class), do well on the GRE (by well, I mean 165/170 Q and 160/170V and above), apply to the right school (use gradcafe to look at profile of student admitted in your score range), apply to atleast 6 schools. It also applies to student going for undergraduate studies. If you do well in your WAEC, ace the SAT and apply to the right schools, you will find out that you do not need money to study in the US. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

GraceofGodfollo: When you pass things you were not asked for, it makes you seem desperate and depending on the mood of the VO, they can decide to issue blue paper immediately. Do not shove any document you are not asked for. Just pass the document you are asked to pass. If they need any other document, they will ask for it. The VO's know we do a lot of oluwole document so they are not interested in seeing your document. |

Drocks: I understand what AfonjaBoston is saying. You can't just be going for VISA interview like that. Something must have been wrong with one or more of your response somewhere. Do a retreat, sit back, ask yourself questions like what am I doing wrong? What is different in my circumstances between my last denial and now? Possibly post your transcript of all your six denials so that people can criticize it and make you a better candidate. I checked back and found you never posted any of your transcript from your first interview in 2015. How then can someone help you? If you are using an agent, its time you send him on retirement. You don't need one. I also noticed you did not take GRE and TOEFL. If you did...fine. If you did not, it is high time you take both exams even if the school waived it for you. Moreover, how can the school waived GRE for someone with a 3.63 GPA. "Woss Wobi", you are making yourself look like a desperate candidate and you may have been profile so in their system as one. Alternatively, if you are in lagos, go to Educational Advising Centre (EAC) at the embassy at Walter Carrington. Present your case and hear what they tell you. It will be nothing different from what I have said. 9 Likes |

dayoseun70: I will have to be blunt here. You were not delayed but denied because you are an intending immigrant. You just want to run away from naija. But even if you want to run away which I am not against cos of the situation in Nigeria presently, you still need to be smart about it. There are so many things wrong with your response. One thing you need to know is that first impression matters a lot. Firstly, when you are asked "Tell me about your program", don't go about reeling off information you discovered about the program from wikipedia. You need to sound unique and articulate. Go to the school or department website in question and do enough research. What is the program requirement? How many coursework, how many elective will you be doing? What courses will you be doing? Are you going to present papers during the program? Is there any seminar requirement? Is there a thesis requirement? Answer all these and you have what it takes to answer question like tell me about the program. Secondly, you were asked how many school you applied too? You stated two schools but think of it like this. The average American apply typically to 6 - 8 schools on the average. How come you from developing Africa is applying to just two lowly ranked or safe school. Even if you are better than Albert Einstein, you should reach out to more school with a mix of safe school and reach school. You should raise this number to atleast 5 schools even if it means saying you applied to schools in europe and UK. Thirdly, you were asked why point park over marshall, you started talking bunch of rubbish again. Please for anyone reading this, do not ever give the VO the impression that you are looking to solve problem in America or do even an internship work in the US during the duration of your program in the US. Yes, we all desire that international experience but do not ever mention it in the interview. How does fighting environmental challenge in Pittsburg got to do with improving Nigeria's condition, there are lot of environmental problems in Nigeria, gas flaring issues, ground water contamination, air pollution and environmental degradation etc but here you are "Captain Nigeria" coming to solve problem in Pittsburg by working tirelessly with Allegheny firm. You want to improve Pittsburg so that more tourist will come there whereas, you can work on improving air quality and environmental conditions for example in Nigeria so that it can be a tourist destination. I feel like giving you six stokes of the cane but make I reserve my anger for Buhari and our useless leaders. As a graduate student, you need to tie your reason for choosing one school over another to your research interest and that of your intended school. There has to be a link between your interest, the school's research capability, and the problem in Nigeria that an American education will solve. Because you answered the first three questions wrongly, it gave the VO opportunity to ask random questions like "Are you maried? Any children?". This is because your answer to the first three showed you are an intending immigrant and not a serious student, and you just want to run to America to become a liability to the US government thus he already profiled you in that category. Whatever, you answer after that is irrelevant. You have already been profiled as an intending immigrant. To further corroborate his point, he asked you "Any GRE?", you said NO. Guy, you are an intending immigrant and not doing GRE even though it is not required by the school in most cases is a ground or reason for denial. GRE and TOEFL is an "unspoken" requirement from a good student and a good candidate for a student visa. You need to work on alot of thing including how you answer his questions. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

ajokeomopupa: My sister, don't take this personal or as an insult but you are not yet ready to study/come to the United States. You have 3rd class, looking for a cheap school and don't want to take GRE. Are you for real!!! Admission committee in most "low ranked schools" may overlook your undergraduate deficiency if you can obtain a good GRE score. The opportunity to boost your admission for a Master's and chance for funding still remains the GRE. You better take it because even if you escape the GRE and get an admission, you still have to prove to the consular officers during your visa interview that you are a good student and the only way they can know that is if you take the GRE. Even American who are high fliers in the US still take the GRE let alone one African lady from an unknown university with a third class degree. I am not yabbing you ohh. Just want you to see the reality and use your head. I know someone who got into a funded PhD program at Stanford University with a 2.2 and excellent GRE score, although she did have 4 publication though. You are better off doing a GRE than not. 11 Likes 1 Share |
