I agree with you

Nobody ever pray to die now or be in bondage but once you die all hope is gone. We have seen and read many stories of people who made it from bondage to liberty.

One of the best way to come to U.S as non immigrant is through F1 visa. I will advise you write GMAT, apply for MSC and also plan to write CPA during or after your program. You can check UIC, NEIU,NWU, Loyola e.t.c

You may find yourself living America dream after just 2 years if you know what you are doing and with baba God on your side

Kindly check other thread for how to overcome embassy Q&A.

After so many procrastination, I finally watched Black Panther yesterday.

I Love It!
I watched it last Sunday. Quality movie, but I find the story line disappointing...I expected better.

Yes....been there several times! I have a relative who lives there....and it is a lovely, huge city......but I must say that the snow is what will keep me from ever relocating there.

Congrats Bro! I'm enjoying your story! Pls I need a help.
I'm an SDGs Activist. Over Here in my school I try to promote this SDGs. My main focus is on SDG 11 and 12. Our main objective is to push the circular Economy, Responsible consumption and to make our environment sustainable and building a better economy through waste management and recycling! I see a zero waste world with affordable and efficient clean energy for everyone. That's my long term vision.

There's a sustainability conference coming up in Switzerland for Youths who are very active in Sustainable Development Goals and I have received emails to apply. Global Changemakers Youth summit, you could search it on Google.

But before I can submit my application, I need to pay for a participant fee which is 35 USD through PayPal or American Express or MasterCard. I have tried my possible best here but I couldn't fund my PayPal account with Nigerian Credit Card.
Please could you help me Bro? I will give you the necessary details. Deadline is on 9th March 6pm CET. I really don't want to miss this opportunity.
