He called me that he needed a phone, money and some stuffs for his daughter to celebrate the "Ileya" festival. I've not sent stuffs before aside money, so I had no option that to send it with usps priority so that he can get it on time. Well, I did cash in mail too anyways. I do that all the time, God punish western union.

After my experience banking with UBA, I resorted to local banking. My parents and brothers simply post my money to me grin, then with the high rate of crime in Aluu, uniport, I usually put the money inside my food stuffs. grin. This I did for 4 years, before GTbank lured me with their home service.

This post cracked me up, lol. Uniport guys sha especially aluu niggas, so u were hiding your money inside your food stuffs, meanwhile u were forming soft grin... just kidding though. Why didn't u move to alakahia or choba? I guess u also loved d 'aluu life'. A funny experience u've got.

Good day my people, can somebody help me out with this question? For instance a VO asked these questions
1. What is the scope of your course
2. What is the program length of your studies. But when I check my I-20, it was written 30months. Normally, a master's degree is one year course. What should be the response to these questions? I need your response from all angles because nobody can tell. Thanks.

Hello to all Nairalanders, writing under this post was not my aim but don't know how to write an indepedent note out here. This forun as been of good help to many people including me though I have been a observer and not been contributing until now.
I went for my interview November 13 which was yesterday 6:30am and it was granted with ease. I can't remember all questions as at now coz I was nervous when It was almost one person to get to my turn coz I was number 8 on the line and the no.1 person was granted and after that it was the next person to me that was granted.
I made sure I observed every things I learnt on this forum which are:
No fidgeting
Look straight to the VO's eyes
Answer questions straight etc
The only question that I taught would av denied me of the visa I think was the more reason why I was given and the questiin was:
Why did the school waive English as in all sort of English test for me.

My answer was: I'm not sure but I think its because I'm proficient in English and English is my secondaey language.

He answered thus: I'm also proficient in English
I answered: with a sigh (looking at his eyes meaning he's a white man I don't expect him to av any test of English, that was in my thought)
He asked again: do you av any document showing they waived it?
I answered: looking at my document infront of me saying Now
VO: he brought out a white pap iner and circle where to pick my visa.

Thanks to God and the nairaland colleagues who made this possible and easy for me. Keep the good work going... I'll be coming back to ask where to get a cheap clight to Texas Dallas by December.

Congrats man, I'm heading to dallas to start my masters in January. will probably be using the shortest route possible to get there. PM me when you can

I stayed at Choba, back of chem for a year, then moved to aluu. Then Alakahia was a typical village and choba was developed and safe as at then but the light situation was nothing to write home about. I moved to aluu after certificate program cos of constant electricity. I spent most of my final year at Alakahia though.

Thank u Kennyrony. Nobody told me a master's degree is one year but in Nigeria here I think the maximum semester is three. 30months written in my I-20 is two and a half years, thereby I'm not sure, that's why I asked the question

The 30month is the maximum progam duration, you can finish you program in 18 or 24month if you can

Hello house!
I got my bachelor's degree in banking and finance and I tried going for my mastersbin business administration. I couldn't get a direct admission into the MBA because of my low GRE score of 282. So the school asked me to do sone prerequisites in the fall semester. Unfortunately for me my visa was denied. The VO said it doesn't nake sense that am goin for masters and my I-20 is showing bachelor's degree.. So now, I want to change my course to masters in public administration. I want to know if its okay for me to go to the embassy with another I-20 of another school with another course. Is it okay? Is it a red flag? And also, ave been wondering, is it okay for me to pursue a masters in public administration with a bachelor's degree in banking and finance. Is it related? Ave been thinkin about it? Please I need ur opinions. Thank you!!
You must be prepared for some critical question from the VO
1. Why the change of institution?
2. Why the Uni?
3why public Admin not finance?
All this answers are easy but once u miss one it nullify the others. Bro am sure wen u were studying B&F in UNI dey taught what public finance is, so go and read and do more indept research about the school u are going and the department it helps.

Not everyone is asked to present bank statement. Bank statement is a supporting document not a compulsory document. But it's advised to go with it. My last interview I wasn't asked to present anything. Just follow what the gurus tell you to do, and don't forget to commit everything to Baba God.

Forget what is written in your admission letter, go with what is written in your I-20.
