The US Embassy would like applicants to have something that will bring them back to Nigeria. You've to probably have a steady job to come back to. Going together with your family for the first is a possibility of denial. Also when answering questions answer only what you're asked, don't go telling stories of where you want to visit or who & what you want to buy.
You just have to be confident and not over confident and arrogant. Those officers are psychologists.
My advise to you is wait for 6 months before your next application and go alone. Or on the other hand, let your wife or wife and kids go for theirs first. Then on her next trip she can apply for you.
For me the US visa is the easiest to get if you know how to go about it. You don't need to have millions in your account. Sometimes they don't even check your documents to give you visa.
If you have someone in the US it could be easier to use the person's address instead of a hotel.

Most importantly, it's God's favour, for you to meet a nice person 'cos some of them could be very hash. Good luck next time.

Soccer is a game of sport that should be enjoyed without any strings attached. The earlier we dissociate the SUPER EAGLES from TB Josuah & other false prophets of doom, we'll begin to enjoy the team.

Omokachi, Keshi & others rely so much on this man, and based on his predictions they select & coach the boys. If only the boys continue to pray on the pitch like they've always done, God'll hear them.

I thank God for steady power supply. A neighbour's own and his barking dog was a nightmare for me.

I couldn't sleep last night and ended up sleeping in church this morning. Why? 'Cos my neighbour and his wife started fighting from 2.30am to about 5am this morning. They're known on the street for this, but last night's was different.

The wife broke everything breakable in the house. This was what woke me up and I was scared for them. She kept screaming "one of us must die this night". She abused and insulted the hubby's friend who went to mediate.

I'm against spouse battering, especially when it's the man beating the woman. But my neighbour's case is peculiar 'cos it's the wife that starts the fight, makes the most noise and creates the unnecessary scene.

So if she comes out tomorrow to acuse the hubby of wife battering, some people will support her.
We can only pass a fair judgement when we hear from BOTH parties. My neighbour's is an eye opener.

Great! Thanks.
What of Microwave & Pressing Iron.

Ladies, let's try and fix some of our vehicle problems instead of bothering  our husbands or letting our mechanics rip us off.
2 days back I noticed d  CHECK light on d dashboard of my 4Runner was on, indicting that there was a problem with the VSC / TRAC OFF. I was worried 'cos d vehicle wasn't due for service yet. 

This evening I decided to google VSC /TRAC OFF on my internet. I discovered that the TRAC OFF light comes on when you turn the traction control light off or if there is a problem with the system. 

I also found out to RESET it, all you've to do was to press the TRAC OFF button or try to unplug your battery and let it sit for a min, then plug it back on and see if the light is still on. 

I pressed the button and the light was still very visible. I decided to unplug the battery and even left it for 5mins before replugging. I started the vehicle and lo and behold, the CHECK and TRAC OFF lights disappeared. Thank God, I don't have to see or pay my mechanic. 

Even before going to the mechanic, let's google the problem and have an idea of what the problem could be.

Should be. I used the old one in 2010 to hire a car at Hertz in LA.

Everybody is asking why he's carrying such amount and has neglected d topic on ground. Even if he had $5,000 they would have stollen it.

The human scanners at the Airport are no longer used for the purpose they were installed, but to scan for money & valuables they can steal from innocent passengers.

God will help us in Nigeria. Corruption every where.

I lost interest after Joshua's eviction but managed to watch the final, which was nothing compared to last year's.

RIP.

@ Crackhouse & Yamakusa, thanks. I'm born again.

The Harka crash happened on environmental sanitation day. The flight took off from Kaduna.
I guess d crew knew d plane was faulty, 'cos they never attended to d passengers after take off.
It was raining heavily & there was so much turbulence. On getting to Lagos AP, d plane over ran its runway & crashed into d farms.

The plane caught fire immediately from d right wing where I was seated.
Thank God for d guy on d left wing. He opened d emergency window through which some of us escaped.

It was a very pathetic sight. The Russian pilot & crew jumped off through d door, others who jumped had broken legs & hands.
Those that died did through suffocation & burns.

It's just a night mare I don't want to remember again. I thank God for a second chance, amen.

I survived d June 24th 1995 Harka crash.

I use Garmin and it works perfectly.

Obiagu1:

No, Jonathan must not go, it's corruption that must go.[b] We have no refineries, power, etc [/b]because of corruption and not because of Jonathan.

If this pains you so much, use your sense and use this opportunity to force the government to make it a treasonable offence for one to steal public fund. Anyone found guilty of stealing public fund should be executed!

People always leave the real issue and will be chasing shadow.

Is he not supposed to build refineries, fix power and other necessary structures before the removal of the subsidy? I'm not against the subsidy removal, likewise most Nigerians. If you've been reading and listening to those against the removal, you'll know that one of the conditions given to him is to FIRST build refineries in Nigeria. Then we can remove the 'so called subsidy'. Period.

Moreover, who are the cabals behind corruption? Me, you or the masses? Definitely not. They're the same people telling us to fight corruption.
You know what? The fuel cabals will be feeding off us now instead of the Govt.

This will affect everyone in Nigeria, not just car owners. We all need fuel to power our generators. We all have to hit the streets to protest. 'Cos the proceeds from the subsidy will NEVER get to the masses, but will still end up in the pockets of the cabals. JONATHAN MUST GO, period.

I got this text on 9th Dec when I left Lagos for the US but ignored it. On checking my balance the next day I noticed my N600 was gone.

I use MTN. Let's investigate which operator is responsible for this scam. When you type yr complain state yr Network.

Normally, for most frauds there's always an insider.

Who are the students that attend these universities? Did they take JAMB? Where will they work after graduation? As for NYSC, I know we also have FAKE. Since NYSC officials operate the fake NYSC, some of these fake Unis might have received fake registration documents from the officials responsible for University registration.

The question now is How many FAKE Primary and Secondary Schools do we have in Nigeria?

DIFF, Abuja is very good. I've 4 friends who went there and succeeded. Their success rate is about 60%. It cost about N1.5M.

I don't think u can do IVF for N300,000 ($2,000). This could be the cost for the drugs. Even in the US it goes for as much as $10,000.

U also have to pray and commit the procedure into God's hands.

Finally, u MUST be very careful where u go to for yr procedure 'cos so many doctors are into so many things in the name of IVF.

I just prayed that God should disgrace TB. That even if we're going to loose it shouldn't be by TB's margin. Praise God.

It depends on maintenance. I used my '99 Camry for 5yrs and sold it for N750,000.

The buyer is rocking it without complain.

No need beating about the bush. The culprit is IBB.

I watched the 50th Independence parade live. ALL living past Heads of State were present, except IBB.

Just after the parade, I tuned to CNN and heard about the explosion. I just concluded that IBB must be behind it.

Remember he introduced the first letter bomb that killed Dele Giwa.

He'll surely not escape this.

I always fly KLM to the US. For the 8hrs wait, I usually take the Air Port shuttle bus to one of the hotels near the AP (free).

At the hotel, with only 12 Euro I eat a continental breakfast, take a nap at the lobby, ready to go with another shuttle.

The first time I stayed at the AP, I spent same amount on a burger & coke, and sat on uncomfortable seat for hrs.

But you MUST have a visa for this.

My late friend, an ex-student of the school, may her soul rest in perfect peace, told me a lot about the school. She said it was a glorified secondary school. where you've to get written permission to leave the compound. I kept encouraging her till she finished. I was shocked the first time I heard her complain about the school, 'cos it's supposed to be a Catholic school. This's why most parents send their wards there, and by the time they realise it's too late. I finished from UNILAG many years back, so this's NOT negative campaign from me.

I hardly reply to post, but had to do this for your cousine. If he's very intelligent he can pass JAMB to a premier University.

May his soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

rest in peace.

wesley80:

Karen may not be many things but you cannot accuse her of not being Naija. How can you accuse a Warri girl that speaks Urhobo fluently of not being Naija? Karen is more 9ja than any contestant i've seen on that show from this country. I cringed when she was introduced as one of 9ja's contestants and took an immediate dislike of her but she's succeeded in turning all that around with the excitement and drama she's brought to the show and I'm a huge fan - which is something for someone that cant be described as being anywhere close to being a 'looker'.
She's definitely not loved by most housemates and has displayed bouts of insecurities that leave you wondering how far she can go, but she's about the only reason the show's worth watching and that's some achievement if you ask me.

That's the same way I see her. She's the reason I watch Tailhouse.

According to Aljazeera, Gbagbo hasn't stepped down.

It's a sad story. The entire hall was raised. The fire team came on time.

We were just 50mins into the event. We all ran for our dear lives. Most celebraties ran without their shoes.
I really thank God no live was lost.

I heard Lagos & Kano states governors were still on their way when it happened.

Horrible!

I gave out my data card I bought N8,500 to a friend last year.
