babyosisi:thanks a lot for the info.i am not going in for an undergraduate degree but a master degree(preferably info tech).And like i said,I am saving for it. Will 3.5m naira be enough for my masters in a state university in the US? Do I need to have a relative abroad to ensure that this move is possible? I am not married and I am still young (in my mid 20s). 1 Like |

aggymore: Good day, I need your advice. I am looking for someone I can talk to on what to do. I applied for US visa 5years ago and was refused. Now I need to apply again and was told I should talk to people on how to go about it. I need you to help me and tell me how to go. I will be heart broken if I am refused again. I don't know much about visa issues so I can't help much there but one mistake we make is that our people tell a lot of lies Remember that you are dealing with trained folks who have been schooled about Nigeria and Nigerians Once they smell a lie or concocted stories,every other thing you say becomes suspect. Sadly once you are denied it becomes harder and harder and once you have visited,it becomes easier. Are you working in Nigeria? What type of work do you do? I heard that you are viewed more favorably if you have travelled to other countries so you may want to go to South Africa or Dubai and return before trying again. It is easier when you have a good job in Nigeria than if you are unemployed. I wish you better outcome when next you go to the embassy. 4 Likes |

For anyone wishing to attend undergrad or grad school in the USA and are serious about such endeavors, it's probably best to contact the admissions office of the school or schools you're interested in via email as the requirements vary for each school and state. Also, the information on their websites may vary from what you're actually told through direct contact. It's good to follow the info on their site and be in contact with someone from the admissions office as you progress. A missed deadline, a missing document, a wrong signature, etc., can make or break you. 5 Likes |

darocha1: @op as an immigrant coming into the US,what state would you advice the person to settle in for a start. That's very easy. You have to go to a place where you have a reliable family member or very reliable friend. America is not a fun place to go if you do not have any of those. Good luck to u. 2 Likes |

Can a university graduate become a teacher without going through teachers training? What are the prospects for upward mobility in that direction? |

babyosisi:One thing I like about your write up is that u said It the way it is, if you want quick paper u have to marry a lady or guy that as paper. My question is this, what are the chances of somebody that want to study MBA in the state with an accounting background from nigeria and more than 4years working experience in the automotive company here in nigeria. |

ozo_emeka: "Tribalism is a million times worse" Where are your sources? Citations? References? Or are you just assuming in your "thick skull" that it should be so SINCE you THINK SO? I gave you facts, please support your BROAD claims with FACTS Ozone Emeka pls kindly let us be. We r tired of ur lies. If I may ask u what r u still doing in america? Now let me tell u, I have visited America as a tourist, u cannot deceive me. Who does not kw abt tribalism in Nigeria? A frnd of mine was denied employment cos he isn't a muslim.... I saw the pics u share in ur thread, I can tell u that those places r no ghettos when compared to some places in Nigeria. Pls enough of ur argument and let us enjoy this thread. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ozo Emeka, If Nigerians in Nigeria don't believe you, I,a Nigerian in America do believe you. My accent never helped in getting a job as a customer Service representative. And for records, there are more homos in America than in Nigeria. If you are on 100k above earnings, please don't Try to come on a visitors visa to come and hustle. 3 Likes |

babyosisi: @ozo_emekama'am, its like u ain't got no clue of what immigrant means wen it comes to US immigration services. Having an Immigrant status u have thesame benefits as born citizens, except for voting and being voted for. Student visa is a under a non immigrant status, Btw u can say a non immigrant immigrating .

babyosisi: baby Please dont argue with emeka or whatever his name is.There will always be people like him.If the US isnt as wonderful as we are made to believe like hes claiming,he should come home and see wonders.Every year i travel and hear people say im going back to niger,this country is too stressful,its you guys that come in when you feel like that are enjoying.All na wash.6years on they are still there,another 20years,they are still there.All the ones that have come to set up businesses have all run back.they enjoy the first month in niger,manage the second,struggle through the 3rd month and by the fourth month,they are cursing what brought them here. Please just leave him.Let people try out their options biko mr emeka. 15 Likes |
