So, I experienced first hand fire service response this past weekend. After driving until very late in the night, so I crashed at a friend's apartment who was gone for the night at her bf's.

At about 9am, a deafening sound woke me up. It was the fire/smoke alarms. Her neighbor downstairs had a grease fire due to carelessness. Lol, I sped downstairs through the smoke in the stairway without shoes on haha.

When I got outside, she was trying to get her phone to work. She finally called 911 to tell them about the fire. The fire response team got to us in less than 3 minutes. Took them about 15 minutes to put the fire out and blow out all the smoke.

I was all in my feelings about how efficient the emergency service was and was already criticizing Naija in my head. I talked to my brother in Lagos about it afterward, then he told me about Lasema and how efficient they are too. He told me they would have also reached the scene in 3 minutes and put out the fire. I'm proud of Lasema if it's true they're efficient (If not, I hope they get better), fire is nothing to play with.

So, added to the list of reasons for enjoying my life here: smoke/fire detectors/alarms. It could have been a bigger fire and nobody would be there to wake me up lol. Thank God for them!!!

I read your thread on life of a student abroad with amusement. It's clear that you are from a rich background here in Nigeria. Apart from school grants I'm sure you still had to cough out about $20,000K for tuition/living cost and other expenses, you are so privileged that you prefer to volunteer during your break than to hustle for needed funds because money is not your problem. Now, many American citizens in your shoes will have to work their back sides off to pay up student loans, even those on scholarship will still have to hustle to pay living cost.

In America you have to live through the fear of being bombed by nuclear weapons from countries like N.K, any lunatic can misuse guns to kill people, natural disasters like hurricane, tornadoes, wild fire rampage the area, you also have to cope with discrimination because of the color of your skin, even your foods have been altered to poison your blood streams (GE) , drugs, serial killers, robbers, terrorists are there too

Enjoy your abroad In my opinion it's good to visit, if you want to live there feel very free . l encourage people to visit often but don't sell your birthright

MackyNaija:
That was part of what another poster wrote that started the current discussion I replied above...

It is full of assumptions. I only wish people that school here with me could comment..
How many Nigerians leave for the US masters with confirmed $10k - $15k??

Hope keeps us alive here, there are numerous legitimate ways to push through the financial aspecs and complete the program.

Chief of which is getting an RA in a big school, your entire tuition could be fully funded.

Finally, check for the list of funded schools on 'prodigy finance' and try to attend one as this can be used as a backup plan if need be.

Forget the naysayers and make the move.

jamoyakz:
Yea right that was why I asked if he took standardized tests (some times that could be the decided ), plus I seen alot of peeps in here writing long epistle (na just two to three minutes interview ). when you cram you tend to mk mistakes. also sometimes those VO might not be in the right frame of mind and might also affect their decision. that was why I stated God factor last after we have done our best

MackyNaija:
South Texas can easily pass for Mexico. Here to Mexico be like Lagos to Benin republic.


Hello Sir, anything for your boy?

MackyNaija:
Update deh, no time these days to come post online.

Semester ended 2weeks ago and I cleared all my courses with A's, even the one that nearly gave my high blood pressure.

3 new students came in for Fall, had known one from here, the other two don't have much business with this site.

Summer classes start next week but I won't be taking classes.

Engaged in volunteer work for the summer, work-no-pay hard die! Na who send me message??
The work is about the sand dune restoration at South Padre Island - hard work under 100°F heat, then good meals (now having a proper feel of American dishes) and then go swimming in the beach at close of work.

2. Can i travel to the U.S. with a Pack of ORIJIN and/or Egusi without having any POE issues.. would i have to declare anything?

Happy Sunday

AlterEnigma:
.

yuscodguy:
Did the VO gave you a white paper before you apply for the drop off?

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
Absolute foolishness, how else are people supposed to look for schools, by consulting orisa and IFA abi ..... there's nothing wrong with finding a school online, as that is what the internet was made for, getting information, otherwise previously unreachable due to location barriers, at the tip of your fingertips, hearing about the school from even buhari or Trump himself makes you no different from me who tailored my search on any of these college search engines, heck schools even have online tours for international applicants self, and ever ready support for those of us who "found them online"
Honestly, at bolded, how stupid do you think we are on this forum, VO's type all the time as they're constantly taking notes (which I feel is usually unnecessary). So the VO's have become the NSA , that have info about every damn human being you name, do you even realize that at least 4 people would bear your exact name, and except VO's can read minds how would thy know who you're talking about. .
Again , I call BS on this hearing about school from awon bill gates. Still no difference from doing online research, if Trump tells me about liberty university today, and I do no further research while femi who has done his thorough online research also appears for a visa interview, you think I would get the visa because Trump told me about he school?.. if your answer to the above question is yes, then your wisdom and intelligence has the mathematical complex number j attached to it ( its imaginary)

aamstih:
Congrats bro.

Hope you got an instate tuition scholarship?

Welcome to the javelinanation

AlterEnigma:
Before i start..
Note of Advice , which has been said here many times
Make sure you have genuine answers to most of the questions asked

While on the queue you'll obviously over hear one or two things

1. VO Asked a fellow why he's going for
pharmacy..
He said he wants to help people(right there, I knew
he didn't soji)
VO asked why do you want help people...
He said he cares for people...
I just stopped listening at that point cuz I wasn't
down for any negative energy

2. Pls and pls , As stated so many times here... When asked how you got to know about the school.. they dont want to hear msinus or internet ish..
Make sure you have a legit fellow who you heard about the school from..

VO asked this fellow how he got to know about the school and he called the name of a person.. the VO then told the guy to spell the name while he checked his database..
They have all this info on their server.. so be careful if you plan on using someone whose been through their system

3. Have read cases where people got away cuz they pretended not to be able to speak English.. you'll be surprised the VO attending to you knows how to speak Yoruba, igbo etc.. witnessed it today





So here my goes my TRANSCRIPT


VO: tell me about your program

Me: My program is in Masters in Chemical Engineering at Tamuk. It requires 24 credit hours .. 18hours in a major and 6hrs in a minor

VO: tell me about your academic background

Me: I did chemical engineering in my undergraduate (Vo cuts in: ooh chemical engineering , i said YES) and I graduated last year July.

VO: Why didn't you do NYSC

Me: I want to focus more on my education at this point and be done with it (he smiled at this point).

VO: so what will this degree do for you..
All this while he wasn't looking at me.. but after asking this question.. He stopped and looked at me

Me: I'll be bringing my U.S degree back to Nigeria to apply for jobs(started nodding his head) at P&G, GSK ( He was just looking me in the eye and leaning closer to hear more) chevron, shell to name a few because a U.S. degree has an excellent international reputation (kept on nodding And typing) which will make me a valuable asset and give me an edge over my colleagues (just kept on nodding and nodding) when I get back to Nigeria

Vo: how many schools did you apply two

Me: 2

Vo: what was the other one

Me: Lamar uni

VO: why Tamuk

Me: I almost choked here... I chose Tamuk basically for two major reasons. 1. they offer a concentration in renewable energy which is in line with my career goal of being a specialist in energy 2. They now have a natural gas dept which is combined with the chemical engineering dept and spearheaded by the same director. Dr. ******** whom I called and confirmed from

VO: whose sponsoring you

Me: my dad

Vo: what does he do

Me: he does this and that

Vo: let me see his statement..

Me: handed it over to him..

then he said they are not showing his name but business name...
showed him a reference letter that showed his name as the owner of the account.
Told him he's a sole proprietor of his business..

VO asked if he didn't have staffs he pays to cuz the money could be expenditures
Said No, just his PA and driver.. He handles everything himself..

Then he gave me back the statement to show him popc name cuz I said I can show him his name..
So I showed him his withdrawals on the accounts and he says he can see all that.. he just wants too see his own name on the title of the account..

Then he said I should either change the name on the account or transfer all the money to a new account with his name on it and follow some instructions on one white paper like that and send additional documents supporting the account through DHL to them and Gave me a case number

Then he returned my passport..





Personally the guy okay..
Na people way just dey go WINDOW 2 I pity..

The lady has no chills



MODIFIED: he asked if I took any standardised test.
Told him both GRE AND TOEFL
