bigfrancis21: Happy sunday, Nairalanders.

I'm fully set to go. The preparations have not been easy. For those abroad, I want to ask the particular food stuffs that are prohibited at the airport? In particular, is red oil or palm oil or nmanu nni(igbo) prohibited at the airport?

These are the food stuffs I bought:
Ogbono
Egwusi
Crayfish
Okporoko[stockfish. Both fillets and the stockfish ear(nti okporoko)]
Dry fish
Red oil
A dozen of curry and thyme each(I learnt ours tastes differently from theirs)
Maggi and knor.
Garri and 'garri turner'.

I didn't buy okro and ugu leaves because I believe I could find them there.
Those abroad, please I need your inputs.

Johnmayor: Hello guys am new here .Am going to USA for my undergraduate study and already applied for USA visa interview.Pls my main question now is that when applying for admission I use my dad personal bank statement and now am going with the bank statement with letter of sponsorship bearing his company name on top .

my second question is I finish my national diploma in may but i did not apply with the national diploma result and am taking the notification of result to the embassy hope it won't be a problem?

Thirdly,I already fill my DS160 form nd gave fix an appointment but I want o make some changes in my Ds160 form abt my previous education,pls can I fill anoda DS160 form hope it won't be a problem?

Ask your dad to do photocopy of CO2 and CO1 (CAC certificate) of the company for you (and make sure your dad is the principal signatory to the company account) then you have to take it (CO1& CO2) to any high court for neutralization...when VO ask for document who will sponsor you just present the SOA with CO1 and CO2 together at once
Best of luck...

Ms Nas:

Ms Nas:
Carry as many food as you can carry BigFrancis. But don't carry Palm Oil, it will be seized. Carry garri turner (small or medium size). My mom didn't allow me bring any as she was afraid the airliners might think I wan take am fight

The wooden spoon or ladle I got at Walmart kept breaking until I bought the better one at Houston. don't carry chicken flavored Maggi. Americans will seize it

Carry Ugwu and butter leaf. No Ugwu here unless you wan chop spinach sha oo.
Truth it, you're going to Maryland you will Def have African stores around...but you could save your money and bring those things from Nigeria. Ordinary powdered peak milk is $16 and 5litres of Palm Oil is $26. She you see?

Me, I be akagum sha. I cannot be spending all my $$ on food and whatnot when I can spend them on clothes Safe Trip

nomso27:

bro nothing do you.
Eba tinz for yankee.

Amefrica:

Food for thought

bigfrancis21:



You're leaving soon. Don't tell me you ain't gotten yours yet?

Amefrica:

Brother, you too dey put Canny style for here oo. He's going with Personal Bank Statement not Company's. Remember, you have to follow what's on your I-20.

BTW! Na Notarization not Neutralisation.

How your side bro?

bigfrancis21:
But why exactly do they seize palm oil?

imperiouxx:

You are just a typical Nigerian going on journey. You will get more than enough of all this in MD (State of Nigerians). Those bold are all what I have a good friend sent to me in large quantities because there is no African store here in my town. Okra, no worry about that one, Americans dey fry am as appetizer. Dem get okra plenty for Walmart, sealed in bags.

Mind you, I didn't bring any food stuffs from Nigeria while coming and I ate pounded yam prepared from pounded yam flour for more than 7 months.

bigfrancis21:

Wowww! Thanks so much.

@bold...I love that. So I may not really need to carry garri after all when I could easily make pounded yam instead.

The availability of okra is another nice one I like.

Yea bro...I'm a typical Nigerian. I feel I'll still need to eat our foods for a while while I get used to American foods.

I and Bode Plot are leaving on the same day. And we'll be meeting at the airport. #Nairaland things.

KunleBal is leaving 2 days earlier than I and Bode plot.

And RickyRozay is already chilling himself off in cold and freezing minnesota.

imperiouxx:

I'm sure as many foods as he can carry like you said won't last him for 5 years unless it's possible for him to make photocopies and laminate the foods.

He will still fall back to what I earlier told him....... buy what Walmart has and others from Nigerian/African market in MD.

So, why worried about someone at the airport confiscating your food or fuccking your plans at the last minute?

Ms Nas:
All these long epistles for me? You dey vex say I no gree come do Christmas at NM?

God catch you.

ojooyelakin:

He says he will be going with bank statement bearing his dad company name... Then how do you think he's going to defend himself on that? Since his I-20 stated dad will be sponsor ?

imperiouxx:

So, you like to burn up down the airport with lipids. Margarine or butter...... anything inflammable is not acceptable on passenger planes. That's the reason.
