Business / Re: Banks Plan Nationwide Shut-Down Over DSS Detention Of Officers by adewaleafolabi(m): 8:09am On Nov 19, 2013
Promhize: DSS must not release these Idiots, ah! I swear if I had the cash I would sue this banks dead if they dare go on strike.

At the end of the year, you'd see this idi.ots declaring 200%, 100% profit. Of course money laundery won't be so easy and feasible if this stu.pid banks did not encourage it.

*You wonder why silly banks like Wema is still in existence.*

Yuzedo said it the other day, "a thorough audit of these banks would surprise the devil himself" . Its also a shame that empty heads that have nothing meaningful to contribute, cannot keep their hands off the keyboard.

This would be hilarious to see. The devil surprised at Nigerian banks. That expression would be priceless. On a more serious note, who would do the audit of the banks. Can we be guaranteed that the audit body would do their job thoroughly without fear , intimidation and their results would show really the true state of things?

Why only stop at the banks, why not audit the entire country as whole or on a more practical term - audit the government and its key agencies. Am sure the flood gates of hell would be unleashed after this

Travel / Re: I Am A U.S. Consular Officer: Ask Me Your Visa Questions. by adewaleafolabi(m): 7:31pm On Oct 18, 2013
VisaOfficer:

Wow, that sounds like quite an opportunity! I'd contact App Academy directly and ask what sort of visa their international students use. According to http://pri.org/stories/2013-03-06/h-1b-skilled-worker-visas-under-fire they would use the B1/B2, but of course that's just a news story, not an official statement. The news story does say that App Academy graduates have trouble figuring out what sort of visa they need to remain in the U.S. and try to find an employer after they graduate. I wish I could give you a clearer answer, but this is a very unique situation. Please let us know what App Academy tells you.


Thanks sending a mail to app academy right about now

Hello,

Please pardon the verboseness of my question.

I am quite passionate about programming. I've considered a 2nd degree as my first was in economics (and seriously find it too unrealistic grin ). In my search i found App Academy (AA )(http://www.appacademy.io). AA is an intensive/extreme web development course in San Francisco. It also comes with a twist - the program would only charge after an individual gets a job and would then spread payment over 6 months. They take it a step further by ensuring upon completion of the program, a job fair is organized for students.

The program is open to international students however, in order to participate in the work recruitment which is quite important for on the job learning and work experience which cant be acquired in 12 weeks, a work permit is required.

I've been working for quite a while, since university and have handled a number of IT projects. However,learning on my own has become monotonous.

App Academy with it gruesome and totally requiring curriculum and competitive nature is just what i need in order to take my software career forward. its more software development oriented and requires less time to complete than a 2nd degree

Now my questions are as follows:
1. What class of visa would i apply for to participate in this program.
2. Is it feasible to apply for a work permit in order to participate in the hiring fairs?
3. If yes to the above, how do I legally apply for a work permit ?

Thanks

Programming / Re: Nigerian Made Android Apps for Android Phones by adewaleafolabi(m): 11:35am On Oct 16, 2013
Okay heres my app.

Name: FtMoney

Status: Beta

Description:
An application written as a proof of concept for an upcoming mobile money firm. The goal of the app is simply allow tellers post details of a transaction to a central database as quickly as possible. After which a receipt is generated and sent to a mobile printer.

Android phones have become cheaper and quite powerful over the years and given their lower power requirements compared to laptops, they stand out as a fine choice for remote areas where power isn't really guaranteed.

The app takes care of situations when the network fails and is flexible enough to allow tellers continue to accept in registrations and later process them. This is implemented through the unsubmitted entry Activity. Which allows for searching, printing an entry and submitting it also.

Long term prospects:
Expand the application, make it more generic and usable by not just for mobile banking, but more of a mobile registration platform.

It turns out that Childhood TB can leave visible and permanent scars on an individuals lungs. Imagine claiming not to have ever had TB and the chest x-ray says otherwise. Honesty in this case is the best way out .

Also an individual might be too young to remember so ensure to ask for your medical history from parents or primary care giver.

Well, you can really only pay for what you can pay for at this stage, right? If they'll only take your money for one semester, go for it. And if you can get something from the homestay family in support of your board (have you paid them?), you should.
Thanks

I got my passport today and was asked to pay for a year tuition and board.
However, my school had me deregister my 1st semester since it had closed. Now all i can pay for is second semester.
Also am not staying on campus. Am staying with an homestay family. We've been in touch for months now.

Do i just go ahead to pay for a semester alone, since registration for next session isn't open and i can't pay for it. Also do i tell my homestay family to write a letter on my behalf to CDHC? Thanks

Jekyll & Hyde:


Sorry about your lost files; that ish is painful.

What method(s) did you attempt to recover them?

I used Testdisk, Photorec and Scapel + 1 other i can't remember for now.

(My files was on an ext4 logical partition (Two bad recipie ext4 + a logical volume = Nightmare for recovery).

Also my medical instruction came in like two hours ago. I was with a client and he needed to check his mail and it just occurred to me to just check mine and there it was, containing mu UIC and medical attachment.

Of a truth God is indeed great, for me this is an opportunity to get fulfilled, start over, study what I've alway wanted.

Story plenty on top this matter but na for another day o.

I submitted may 30 through VFS
Medical : September 31

New understanding of the scripture below kept me going, gave me courage in the face of uncertainty .

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Thanks my Ogas.

My guy, pls take it easy o. With or without trv life continues. What wld be, wld surely be no matter what. Remember dat ,dis too shall pass away.
Pls, don't develop high bp o.
We will shout alleluia on ur behalf soonest IJN.




Thanks for the headsup jare. Sure life continues. I know to an extent what HBP does; its one of those things you shouldn't have. It changes an individuals lifestyle completely. And really hinders a person. As for the TRV, am resolved that something must happen this week. And even if it doesn't well a little bit of patience* wouldn't kill.

Also word of advise to people. Please for heavens sake have a backup plan. Over the weekend I was working on my pc and was a bit distracted and entered a wrong command on my shell which wiped my entire user folder. This contained lots and lots of Documents, Pictures, Work files, Source Codes etc. Wasn't funny. Attempts to recover the most important ones was futile.

I had some files backed up but left out a major folder that contained my newest projects. Months of work almost down the drain. Lesson for me is this, have backups, ensure it works. And be ready to rebuild.

clusterphobia: Designated Medical Practitioner will arrange for the following tests:
 
- Large PA chest X-ray together with a radiologist's report for any person 11 yrs of age or older.
- Blood test (VDRL or similar test) for all applicants 5 yrs of age or older.
- A Urinalysis (sugar, protein, blood) for all applicants 5 yrs of age or older.
- HIV test for any person 15 yrs of age or older, children who have received blood or blood products, or have a known HIV mother, and all potential adoptees.

Besides the above, there will also be an 'Eye Test'. It is just a long distance reading of the Vision Table.

They will also check your blood pressure, height, weight and will perform general whole body check up. Better drink lots (and I mean lots and lots) of water before going for the urine test to get a good urine report. Don't deposit the first urine of the day.
Get blood pressure checked by some local doctor atleast 48 hours before your medical for immigration. Get medicine if required to make it normal. DMPs usually consider BP reading upto 130/90 as normal. Don't worry, they won't be able to find out about the medicine if you do not rerveal it.
Don't lie about any operation which has left visible scar on your body. Remeber they will throughly (I MEAN IT) check your body so don't lie about anything which they can find out.

Hope this helps smiley


Thoroughly check. About BP who is adding to it no be them mtchew
