A lot have been said from different angles on whether people should continue with the US struggles or not. IMO, it should be a matter of individual perspective. If you have the experience and really want to help, you should give your advice and also back it up with your constructive arguments. Just giving instructions is not the right way to go about it. We are all educated adults here, even as parents, we should not just tell our kids what not to do, instead, we need to explain why they should not do them. The most annoying part is that a said individual even suggested that the thread should be closed. I think it would be better if you channel your energy on the Canada thread and advise aspirants how they can successfully get in. This is the internet era and even if most of us has not left the shores of Nigeria, we know countries with good immigration policies. We know about Canada and Australia. We also know how difficult it is to get full funding in Canada, how expensive Australia schools are and how tedious the Canada Visa process is.
I got an admission into University of Manitoba last year which also came with a scholarship worth almost 50% of the tuition. Very easy admission process, no English proficiency test, no GRE. I wrote the Dept whether there I can get an assistantship but it was all futile. Again I reviewed the Visa process and even though I got someone who wanted to put the $5400 CAD and the 1000CAD living expenses into my parents account, the fact that decision can take very long (sometimes even between 6months to 1year) made me think twice. I decided not to go ahead to apply for the Visa, mind you, I know even if I set my mind into it and with some money, I can get into Canada via another means which is PR or a work permit due to my profession- atleast 2 people around me did it at the time.
Most importantly, my dreams got bigger and I asked myself why I should even bother to pay a dime to get an international education. So I decided to write GRE and TOEFL and I have been on the journey since then and I trust God to perfect my efforts. Mind you, some of us are actually considering other things like our research area too which we might not get in other countries. Another reason I know why people consider US, especially those whose highest level of education is a Bachelor's is also because of the post-baccalaureate PhD that a lot of US schools offers. My point is we all have our different reasons for choosing a particular country for studies.
In summary, those who are giving advice should not be discouraged and they should please also back it up with cogent reasons. Prospective students here should also try to take their time to do their research, think about the pros and cons and make sure they have convinced themselves it will be worth it before going forward.

You have spoken well.

Good day,

In as much as "masturbation" is a topic that most of us shy away from, a lot of people indulge on it hourly, daily or monthly.

Masturbation is very addictive as the urge for sex is something natural and once you find a way to conquer this urge, you would like to do it often. Ladies and Guys indulge in masturbation and the advice i always give to people is; "If you don't masturbate please, DON'T"

For masturbation addicts, it is common to wake up each day and saying to yourself; "Yay, today is today. I am not gonna masturbate" but end up pleasing yourself again. I totally understand.

Masturbation brings guilt after each session and enervates you too. It also leads to unproductivity as you become weak after orgasm.

Here are few tips to quit masturbation slowly:

1. AVOID PORN:
Of course i don't need to explain much on this as porn leads to arousal and then masturbation.

2. TAKE YOUR BATH IN A HURRY:
Staying long in the bathroom with soap will increase the temptation of wanking. Taking your bath in a hurry will reduce the chance of masturbating.

3. GET BUSY:
Idle time gives the mind time to think about masturbating. Getting busy is a sure way of abstaining from masturbation.

4. STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA:
Yes, the social media today is mostly about SEX SEX SEX. Stay away from them. Uninstall facebook, Instagram and other apps that will distract you from quitting masturbation.


5. BE DETERMINED:
Quitting an addiction is not an easy task and requires a lot of determination.

RealTrump:
1. Stop putting blame on Trump adminstration. US Visas has always been laced with uncertainty. Canada n Australia hv always had a much clearer path for stay after schooling. So telling people that Canada is better than US... that's old news. U just came in last year, why didn't u go to Canada instead of US?

2. You paid a lot of money to school there. You hv a huge burden to succeed. And it is natural that any news that relates to bad immigration creates a huge burden for u. But I think u are beginning to pass your personal burden on other members of the group. To your credit, u had expressly said that people who are forking out a chunk of money should look elsewhere. Thumbs up.

3. Don't let these guys push u around. They don't have the man power to run that country and can NEVER shut the door on immigrants.

I know that as Nigerians we have personally ridiculed ourselves alot more than d whites ridiculed us.

Yes, maybe Nigeria is a shit hole. But Nigeria is that shit hole that can determine whether u will wake up n still be the world power tomorrow.

Nigerians should stop all these inferiority complex and start embracing the substantial amount of power we wield in the world politics. Americans hv d data, they know we too useful to them but in their immediate economy n on their grip on world power. Most of their African venture capital dollars is tied up in Nigeria, u really think they are stupid enough to close d doors?

The same country that banned u yesterday, basically appeased u with a check of $40M a week later n called it "humanitarian aid." That should tell u how important u are.

US has never been a place for non stem students. Aside this, relax, they can push us around but they can't push u too far...they hv a lot to lose too. UK tried but they came back begging with their tail between their legs. Also don't forget it's an election year, a lot of things will be political. Media houses probably don't like d guy n they will paint up stories. If u see d free money in assistantship, grab it!

Personally I have no qualms with Canada, I even applied to 3 schools there...but I don't just think I can tolerate any more cold.

It's a bumpy ride ahead, but hang on, nothing lasts forever.

Sir! What brand of beer do u drink? you deserve some cold one.

Northeastern:
The general answer would be yes, but your field, experience, skills and other factors come into play.

Thanks.

It is good to get all the information before jumping on a flight

Northeastern:
Yeah, the above is the best approach if you are coming for all these courses that are not technical and locals enroll in because you'll find it difficult to get a job that will sponsor you.

So, is it safe for Engineers?

LagosismyHome:
A good offer is always relative to your pocket .... I come from a place where anything is better than nothing if it a school I want . Well not anything. If the outstanding balance is doable by my pocket

21k minus 8k is 13k .. so maybe that cover rent, books and any other fees. Usually it is listed what this entails and it usually an estimate. You can be more prudent and spend less and then if you get job on campus it helps offset some of these

you know what? I like you. Thanks for the breakdown.

LagosismyHome:
The waiver means : allow out-of-state students to pay tuition at in-state rates. International student usually pay "out of state tuition"

For example according to Google this is the tuition for Texas tech In-state 8,428 USD, Out-of-state 18,220 USD.... so if given a waiver an international student will pay 8k instead of 18k so a discount/ saving of 10k usd

Does it look like a good offer?

Also, they asked for about $21k statement to be issued I-20. Is that the amount i will pay for the whole program including rent and books?

Good morning


I recently got an offer from Texas Tech, could anyone please explain what the out-of-state tuition waiver entail?

LagosismyHome:
Instead of looking through people transcript to pick holes.... why dont you open your mind to a balance view of things. The point for and the point against so that when you make a decision it is an informed decision . Not just for school but life in general

Not every arguement against a topic is about bitter, trash jealousy or some other stupid words people use easily .

Experience is usually the best teacher and it's very powerful sometimes hearing from other experiences. It makes you gain insight and learn what ever mistake or enhance your journey in life.

Nice but his statements are usually vague. He hasn't said the reason why he is frustrated over there.

It pains me to see that nobody is talking about this. This is an increasing issue. Even Truck pushers now market and prescribe drugs

CptCharlesVane:
Congratulations! You’ve got one foot in already.

I am still praying for better offers. All in all, all thanks to God.

Greatken007:
Aside the regular Solid works (improved AutoCAD) you can try as much as possible to learn the following
P&ID diagram , Piping Engineering(Flanges and their class, class 150 , class 300 ,class 600) with some knowledge on CP(Cathodic protection) , different valves types and their functions, actuators ,Compressors and pumps. Heat exchanger and boiler arrangements, indirect water heater. For natural gas measurements acquit yourself with flow meters such as Turbine meters, mechanical bath chart etc . My brother with these knowledge acquired, if they don't call you then you have to call yourself.(on a lighter note )

This is beautiful. Please, could you direct me on ho to aquire these skills? surely, i have undergone AutoCAD plant 3d training but i did not learn much. I really need to be grounded in this no matter the cost.

Good morning,

While we wait on NNPC, what are the relevant skills i can sharpen myself to work effectively in the oil and gas sector as a mechanical engineer?

Good day, I have been following this thread and here are some schools i have applied to for Msc. mechanical engineering

GRE: 296
TOEFL:98

Clarkson University- Admitted (Admitted, 30% tuition waiver)
Michigan Tech Uni-(Admitted, no funding)
Missouri S&T -(Admitted. no funding yet, total cost is)
Wichita state Uni- Denied (was surprised based on the fact that better schools admitted me)
Texas Tech Uni- Awaiting decision

fall, hopeful. Yes, we can

[quote author=Jodha post=85746768][/quote]So she is not a virgin

Timekeeper:
Welcome to the club bro


Very soon u will be tagged a rapist too.. That is ladies work, they tag their ex, rapist... It's a normal thing for them to do... Losers like Rekhina eat arab men shit to survive... Fvck Arab men dog to put meal on table.. I don't blame her sha


Op, That ur babe must be Jodha's sister... Birds of a feather

All the girls i have met lost their virginity through rape. Including Timi Dakolo's wife.

Jodha:
There's nothing like vaginal virgin.. provided she has engaged in sexual intercourse whether anal or oral... she's not longer a virgin..

Y'all abuse the word virgin alot

as a matter of fact, sexual intercourse means "the insertion of the penis into the vagina". since it was not in her vagina it was inserted, she is still a virgin.

Anyways, the point of this thread is not to debate.

Good morning nairalanders,

I am with this girl. She is a virgin (vaginal virgin) but she has had anal sex before.

She told me that the anal sex was through rape from a male friend during her school days and afterward, they stopped communicating. Well, i believed until today. I know that i should not have gone through her inbox but somehow, I got access to her chats. God so kind, the first chat that caught my eyes was the chat with the guy she has had anal sex with previously.

The guy was telling her how he missed her moaning and from the chat, they had more encounters to the extent that the guy said he was tired of anal sex and wanted to try out something different. They had several other meetings at the boy's venue. After some time, I noticed that their conversation started dying down. I guess their little relationship started to wear out.

The issue now is that she told me that the boy raped her and she cut contacts with him but the chat says otherwise. I don't really know what she stands to gain from branding the guy a rapist.

For Sex

dayleke:
No "TROPHY" for you guy but you are her "HERO".

Lol...

NwanyiOkpa:
Okay. Like people can still be Oral virgins.

Which one is oral virgin again na?

tobechi74:
as if she will give you trouphy for taking credit

That's not my point.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I am currently with a girl that has had anal sex before we started dating although i was the one that deflowered her "vaginally". She claims that i was the one that disvirgined her but i am confused if to take credit or not.

NwanyiOkpa:
He was right when he said the APL has been typed.

My source told me that also and this afternoon when i contacted him, he said the PC that has the typed names ran into some issues and they have submitted a budget of 15M to get it fixed.

Let's just pray they don't lose the files.

Nigeria tire me.

Please someone should confirm this.

I also heard something like this earlier today from a friend.

holocron:
Breaking virginity takes much time, troubles, and patience and is not even enjoyable apart from the kicks of being the first. Only the broke has time for that. Afterwards the same disvirgined starts dishing it out in the hopes of getting money and privileges.

Wrong postulation

Duggedised12:
Was she my type? No. She was from the wrong tribe. And was too reserved for my liking.

she was never the op's type, wrong tribe plus she was too reserved for his liking, which clearly shows from the word go the op knew he didnt want her but since in his words "she was the easiest girl he has ever bleeped oh well he might as well plant his seed.

whatever is making your blood boil, oga nor be me cause am nor dey come online come dey transfer am for my body and just know that there is nothing new under the sun, whatever you are going through will surely pass, lol boiling blood ,hope it doesn't pass through your blood vessels to your brain cells tho ,good day to you too.

Sad

Ifakiland:
Wonder where all these weak men are cropping out from. In the days of out forefathers they loved 3,4 women and non took offense, and dey didn't die. What's kind of men are the mothers of today breeding?

Very immature comment. Why bringing people's mothers into the discussion?

Did your dad marry 3 to 4 women? How weak is he?
