How do want them to celebrate you when MMM is shut down and Buhari's budget is only for Aso Rock and Senate?

and the whole country is on recession. Even to buy 100 naira recharge card na wahala. I understand you jare my sister. The bad economy is affecting their brain. Shut down of MMM has made their brain shut down.

Finally, this night I got in mail an acceptance letter to study medicine as PA (Physician Assistant).

I would be specializing in Surgery (Cardiothoracic).

What a marvelous gift for Xmas. All thanks to God.

Cheers! https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0016.gif

First of all, congratulations on your admission to study medicine as PA. In my opinion, i would say, this is a great achievement for you. It is only an illiterate that would belittle this kind of achievement. If you really know the best selling major in america, then you would know that anything under medical field is like a gold here. Once again, Congratulations Imperiouxx sky is your starting point. i see you i see great future. i would just want you to try to ignore all haters.

slimmy2005:
You should know they are trolls. They are still swimming in that hell hole Nigeria and no longer have that joy to celebrate success anymore.

I can't just stop laughing to this comment.. Laughing in akata style LOL

That's why the vo cuts in several times. Many parts of the interview seem like script but he got grace.

Yes He was favored . Sometimes, it's not all about what you have to say but how you present it.

SCHOOLBUOY:
let me start by saying a big thank you To God for making the whole process stress free and answering my prayers with favour mercy and grace...... I really experienced that thing called grace today.....
The journey started last month when I was refused a @abuja.....I was downcast and at a point stopped beleiving God......but my aunt believed in me so she reapplied for me using LAGOS.......
I got to the embassy around 10-50am but my appointment was 9-45am .....the CGI guy said I was 5min late.....I was like is this guy drunk......but I kept mute....aFTer the whole process,i went inside....OMG...SEE AS PEOPLE PLENTY INSIDE LIKE SAY NA MARKET.....BUT I WENT IN LIKE THAT,WENT TO GET MY PASSORT AND SEVIS FEE VERIFIED AFTER THAT I JOIned another cue for finger print.....omg the guy doing the finger print is in hell of a talkertive.....did my finger print and joined another cue for the main thing .....few student were given visa Though.... it was my turn I looked back and we were like 20 in the room .......
Vo:how are you?
Me:I'm fine sir,how have you been sir...
Vo:oooo I'm very OK ....
Vo:where are you going
Me:I'm going to EWU for my undergraduate program in EET And it will equip me the necessary skills required to operate, maintain and supervise in the.........VO cuts in and said that is rehassed.........
Vo:how many schools did you apply to
Me:4
Vo:their name
Me:mid west uni,northern east,University of Colorado and east west uni...
Vo:so why east west
Me:east west curriculum fit my area of intrest...vo cuts In againagain....
Vo:can you tell me about this curriculum....I didn't stop there I continued saying I'll be joining prof********* ****** research team who are currently making researching on generating electricity from tiles by the use of piezoelectric material which convert mechanical stress from a footfall into electrity.....
Me:it has a faculty ratio of 20:1 which will help.....go cuts in again.
Vo:what do you mean
Me:this Will enhance teachers students relationship.....
Vo:tell me about this school
Me:ewu is a private uni sited at816 south loop.....vo cuts in again ......

No documents was asked

My advice though be bold be prayrfull .....and anytime vo cuts in always have a back up......never let them get you........and never tell any member of your family....your mama's prayer and yours with some psalms is enough.....GOD BLESS YOU TEXTREM AND YOUR BRO BRIGHT .....OTHER people I didn't mention and we all famz....jah bless we all .....be bold.



Pls is There anything to be worried about @ POE

sobastical:
He's ignorant of it

I guess he's definitely ignorant of the word.

mudi1012:
@akins2016 i got your email boss ... thanks for the corrections .

you're welcome. let's edit as much as we can.

worry359:
Please do not post all in capitals as though you are shouting.
It is ignorant and against board rules.

why did you have to use this word

tunamost:
Glory be to God Almighty for he is good and his mercies endureth forever. Thanks to GOD Almighty because it can only be him and him alone. Special thanks to brightify for the love he showered on me. Sincerely speaking i never knew we still have kind hearted people like bright in this world, despite his busy schedule he still goes out of his way to create time for my mock interview. May the good lord bless you and fufil all your heart desires in Jesus name..My appreciation won't be complete without mentioning the name of Texrem who also immediately responded to my mail and conducted mock interview for me without giving him prior notice, sincerely i was amazed by how fast you responded to my mail and your inputs to my transcript...God bless you too my brother..The lord will meet you at the point of your need in Jesus name and thanks to everyone who shared their transcripts on this forum, God less you all and thanks to lagosismyhome for giving me direction to the US consulate in Lagos, it was really helpful and straightforward, May God bless you too ma..Visa approved this morning for 6.30am appointment at the Lagos consulate. Got to the embassy with my younger brother around 5.30am, met those touts as usual but ignored them all.Did the normal screening and by quatre pass 7 we were in the Hall...Got interviewed at window 7 by a white lady probably in her late 40s... The following ensued between me and the VO:

VO: Good morning, pls pass me your passport, sevis and i-20
ME: Passed it to her
VO: Your sister is sponsoring you?
ME: Yes ma
VO: Where does she stay?
ME: Told her where she stays
VO: Is she in Nigeria with you?
ME: Yes ma
VO: What does your sister do?

ME: Thank you very much ma and have a nice day ahead
VO: You too, bye
My brothers and sisters it can only be GOD, the interview wasn't up to 3 minutes at all...I prayed to God to go there before me and he did just that..I told GOD to give me a perfect christmas gift by approving my visa and he did it for me...To my fellow Nairalanders who are about going for their interviews please pray and hold on to GOD as he is the one who can do all things...I started fasting and praying right after i payed for my visa fee asking him to grant me favour and mercy using Psalm 51, 34, 21, 20, 72 and isaiah 60 and he truly favoured me in my interview today...Wish those looking forward to their interview days GOODLUCK, FAVOUR AND SUCCESS...Meanwhile i didn't write any test,no document was asked and I'm going to Saint Joseph's University for Masters in Health Administration..Sorry for the long Epistle.

cecemat:
@akins2016 I hail you bo$$

Thanks my brother. I dey hail from my coded angle here too.

beautysky:
Hi guys, my visa was approved today. I am not a very active user of this thread, but I am obliged by common sense to share my transcript. I must confess I didn't expect the questions asked. The visa officer was relaxed and very conversational with hand signals to cut me short when I talk too much; perhaps.

Me &Vo: Salutation
V.O: Now tell me, what's it about this school?: I'm. Impressed with the course structure, it lays emphasis on empirical learning. I was particularly looking for schools that offers high level of experiential learning. V.O cuts in with his hand
When did you leave secondary school?: 2003
When did you leave University: 2009
How old are you?: Told him
Where do you work?: Told him
How many years have you been working?: told him
Who is your sponsor: my brother
How much is your Salary? Told him
Did you undergo any test before admission into this school?: Well, yes. I had an admission selection interview by the head of department. Vo cuts in, I'm fine with that
Vo: scrolls the pages of my pp and asks why I frequent Dubai: said I'm a member of an international organisation that holds bi-annual meetings in Dubai , the organisation of which I'm a senior fellow
VO: I'll go ahead and issue your visa Bla Bla Bla.

Once more, I thank djmakson and Texrem for the sober opinion intervention when I made error on my gtbank payment
On the other hand, I'd like to meet and know any member of this thread residing in California and most importantly San Francisco.... My school is SFSU, and I need some Nigerian connection to get around. Texrem, Djmakson, Oludare, Lagosismyhome and other esteemed members can please share from your arsenal of connections, as the case may be..... God bless us all

Congrat on you visa approval. However, i think this transcript is kinda irrelevant if you cannot tell us what you told him. lol. Well i can see they are all personal information but try to look for a way to explain without telling us your actual age or salary.. thanks no offence

Fesobi92:
My oga them oludare and Akin I sight una ooo. Thanks for your warm welcome and continued support. Yankee has been nice. Living the dream. However, this cold is not like Akure own ooo. It brutal.

My flight was scheduled to leave naija thursday morning at 6.30am. So, i left for lagos on Wednesday and got there around 5pm. After booking an hotel, I went to the nearest eatery to have a last taste of naija dish; fufu and aphan soup and it was so great. Fast forward to 11pm, I left for the airport. We got there around 12.10am and realized check in will start around 2.30am. This is contrary to what I was told that check in starts 24hrs to your departure. Anyways, we hanged around the airport premises. Naso naija police carry their usual nonsense come say we nor fit park at the roadside. One even deflated our tire. I was so enraged but couldn't do anything as I don't want my yankee dream to be delayed whatsoever.

Finally, we went to the parking garage not far from the entrance. I learnt you'd have to pay a sum of 400 naira per hour for your stay in the garage but we got lucky the security guys were not around. So, we quickly left before they resumed work (They resume work around 4.30am).

The check in started around 3am proper. I was given a tag to write my name, address, and final destination which was attached with my baggage. First were the immigration officers where I parted with #1000 in order to avoid any delay. Nah owo omogo tho but nah esha. By this time, I promised myself I won't be coarsed to pay any money again. I went to weigh my bags and they were on point. I was given my boarding pass as a result. I had completed the first phase of the check in at that time. So, I had time to play with my family and friends.

Fast forward again, it was time for my departure. So, I waved goodbye to my family and friends. Mehn, it was so emotional knowing I was finally leaving my mum for yankee. It was a bitter sweet moment but I had to go. i passed all the security men and didn't give them a dime.

The next series of event were all foreign to me cos it was my first time entering an aiplane. So, I started praying that God my plane will not do sosoliso this time ooo and am not going to fall like agagu. I got some comfy after praying and took my sit. As the plane started flying, mehn I can't explain how I felt like say my mind Wan cut comot for my body. Naso i start to pray oo say God you no carry me come die for here ooo. I didn't know it's the normal thing but thank God it was a smooth journey to casablanca.

The moment I entered casablanca, I knew naija was under spell and nobody can remedy the situation there. Come see casablanca o. Chai smh(naija na scam ). The breeze was peaceful, mildly cold and orderliness was present here. After doing the normal check in, I started to Waka around the beautiful stores inside the airport. Chai, Morocco make sense oo. Mehn, you need to come and see for yourself.
After waiting for about 5 hrs(with the company of free wifi), we were taken into a bigger plane en route yankee. It was a long journey with pleasant facility in the plane but not so pleasant food. The best feelings came after seeing the aerial view of Washington dc. Chai, baba God I thank you for bringing me; the boy from no where, all the way to see the magnificent yankee. Brother, yankee fine ooo. I thought I was dreaming cos I only see the view in movies but was now seeing it live and direct. After a long queue, I went in to the poe cubicle.

Me: Hello officer Thomas, how you doing today?
Officer: ooh am doing good man. Can I have your passport pls?
Me: I passed my passport and i20.
Officer: so why are you in the us?
Me: Am going to the uni of Memphis for my PhD in maths.
Officer: ooh wow that cool. So what are you going to do with a PhD?
Me: it going to give me the mathematical expertise needed **officer cuts in**
Officer: yeah the normal knowledge and expertise needed to excel in your field?
Me: yeah yeah exactly.
Officer: Man you're gonna make a lot of money. Wow, am so happy for you man. Am always happy to see people like you. Enjoy your study man.
Me: Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your night.

To be continued......

Enjoy your stay bro .. another futarian, and mathematician in the building can't wait to see you again . the last time i saw you was 2014 during our convocation.i miss our futa days.

Chairman na all state from Colorado to Montana plus Texas come enter New Mexico dey sight Missouri cone dey reason any sure way for fundi . God dey...

no yawa nah God dey

I am sorry if you were hurt by my statement. Because you needed someone to studied with, I was wishing if you were with the TWU's girl, you guys would have made a reading partners. Somehow, you even knew her. Your saying she can't face a certain level mathematics was not even fair to her. All courses have more or less same challenges- Mathematics, Medicine, Mechanical engineering up to Music.

We have been here night and day advising people on GRE, admission and Visa which you have benefited from just like we got some time past. So a another advise on reading hard after you have complained using YouTube flared you that up!

I have done most of your Mathematics courses bro including your real analysis. Yes it is hard but not killing. You can even enjoy it if you know the trick. I do apply your mathematics in real life in my work as a Doctoral Mechanical Engineering student.

For example I designed and built this robot from scratch including manufacturing the materials in one course. I can't tell you the interdisciplinary knowledge I drew upon including mathematics, programming and control. So I know the challenge we all face but I was motivating you that Nairalanders ought to be at the top because we know who we are.

Apology accepted. I made the bold statement because she didn't have the abstract math background because they have a style of approaching them when we talk of notations and writing proofs. however, i didn't really mean she can't do them i just said because the way they are, she might need extra effort to tackle them. And yes if you know the trick you will enjoy it. thanks

electronic:
My BLOTHER!!! I feel you pain man!!! The small control maths in MSc I did in Nigeria here self body tell me!! . so I decided to mail a prof in Yankee to help out with some materials to easy the pain.
Mehnnn what the man sent to me no be here ohhhh. You need like a year to finish the books not to talk of understanding the terminologies and symbols. I cram tire to manage score 57!
OAU na Die!!!
So imagine in US when you face the guys that really practice what they teach/preach. No shortcut Ooohhh....
God help us sha.. We go join UNA soon...

Hmmm. pls you need to help me explain to the guy wella oo. Thanks my brother. Notations and symbols dey there to learn not to talk of theorems, proofs and definitions. Here for Yankee, you must know it, not that you will cram to pass. i have professors here that will give you questions you never see before in the exams and you know what that means in abstract courses.. above all, our background for nigeria is not strong in abstract courses.We just cram to pass those courses as pa say our lecturer self no know am. Thank you again jare my brother. I hope to see you here soon which state you dey process ?

Mayflowa:
Hey calm down. I didn't insult you. Can't you use some advice. So you mean to tell me some YouTube video won't be helpful in your course? So all the courses I mentioned aren't part of your courses you will be taking to graduate in Mathematics? Were you expecting I would list all of them?

The people that studied with you are kind people. In graduate school, no one have time for the other except you came from same country. I was only sorry that you had to go through the stress of asking for such favor.

Bro, mathematics is a natural skill. There are young lad that crack adult mathematics. For you to continue in mathematics, you must have had flair for it. At least, none of this should be new to you at Master levels.

But like I said, it is good you were able to pull through

I don't even know how to categorize your level of thinking about mathematics. you think mathematics is all about calculation right ? Get close to a pure and/ or an applied mathematician, ensure you look through their notes or you can simply google stuffs on it. you dey here dey talk like something i don't even know. Natural skill ko mammi water skill ni. I will try my best not to insult you. Try to show a matured person your posts and see what they think of it. That one self they talk matured reply SMH for you both. It's hard but we were able to survive it with good grade shikenna

hardeorlah:
lol. your reply got me laughing. I do math and statistics. So there is nothing like management mathematics. No course is easy, they are all challenging. So you can't say statistics is easy. Maybe you should come try Statistical programming with R or SAS and let me know if it is a piece of cake

no jare i never said your course is easy, however, everyone here knows what's going in mathematics and statistics. i got friends in statistics who keep telling me how hard mathematics is. anyone can come from any major to do statistics but if you are doing mathematics, one must have a solid background in courses like analysis, algebra, PDE/ODE. This guy got me angry by comparing someone with me. thats so insulting. Why would he be saying someone that does not have a math background is getting an A, or saying something like i am suppose to be leading my class. And who told him i didnt get A in all my courses ? The fact that i faced challenges at the beginning doesn't mean i didn't get a good grade. i will chat you up somewhere else jare my sister.

Tods:
hahahaahhahah oh my God!!!!! If thats what you call math then you're so wrong, those are elective courses. we are talking of courses like Real analysis, Modern and abstract algebra, topology etc those are the core for ms math degree (where you wan get youtube video for that one) and they are freakin hard. Last time i checked Esther is in more of the statistics option.

Tods thank you so much jare.. I was about giving the guy like 7 pages of reply before i saw yours jare. Some people will just carry their mouth come here kon dey run wetin them no know. I talked to Esther in the beginning of this semester and she was like mehnn she respect me for the couses i am doing. That she can't even do them. i doubt if she can even do 5000 level analysis without complaining not to talk of 6000 analysis. In a nutshell, I think she's just doing all this management mathematics ... I doubt if she's doing the real mathematics.(pure and applied mathematics). This guy's reply sound insulting and i can insult him back. let me wake up

Mayflowa:
It is really good you know your weakness and studying ahead of time. But Mathematics shouldn't be too hard na. I wish you are in same class with Goldenqueen here. She studies mathematics in Texas Women Uniersity and had never had less than an "A" in any of her courses. Mind you, she didn't do mathematics in her undergraduate course o.

It depends on the kind of mathematics she's doing. I guess you're talking about Esther she did physics in Unilag right ?

cecemat:
Thank God for you bro... Hard worj pays really well oh!
I am coming over by Jan 10 to resume a graduate school in Electrical Engineering.
My Visa interview is Jan 4th. Please pray with me on this. God will surely approve. Amen

I wish you all the best God will favor you . Trust me, you will get it.
