What's the difference between SURVEY fee & MDS?
Is the MDS taken out of the survey fee or they are 2 different payments?

Yemike:
My life have been stagnant for like 4-5 years now. I work in a factory and I also sow clothes.
I've not been able to spend money on myself or to pursue my dream as a result of family responsibilities.
I'm a drop out of FUOYE and I'll so much love to go back to school but the plan has been failing for 2 years now.

I've obtained a part time form from Adekunle Ajasin University Ibadan campus last month hoping to start the new session next year but my problem now is that I have a brother that just finished HND 1, his rent has expired and he'll pay his school fees this January.
I paid his rent and school fees for HND 1 and he has notified me for HND 2.
My fear now is that time us running out for me (I'm 27yrs now) as I sincerely wanted to go back to school but I can't sponsor myself and two siblings.

Should I wait for another year or everybody should carry his cross?
What's the amount needed?

"Wow! Just came back online now and realised that the thread has been moved to front page. Thanks everyone for taking your time to read and comment.

Let me answer the few questions I can remember while going through the comments.

I have practical experience in this field about five years ago until everything went south mostly due to a fault of mine. This time, adequate measures have been taken to avoid a reoccurrence. of such incidence. There is no problem of Fulani Herdsmen in this area. There is a ready made buyer, an acquaintance who buys cassava from farms at bulk for a company he works with.

I hope I've covered some of the questions raised.

Finally, I will consider having the farming business alongside my current job at least until the first harvest. That way, I can save more money and will be better equipped.
Any room for an outside investor?

okay, I can apply for the Canadian visa in the US as a tourist on B1/B2 ? Or I should go back to my home country Nigeria and apply ?
In the US. You apply online if granted, they ask you send your passport (just prep a month for the process)

Hey guys, I’m currently in the US on a tourist visa (B1/B2)

Can I use it to enter Canada ?

I have an important meeting to attend in Ontario
You can't but you can apply for a Canadian visa and get it. It's less than $200. My mum was visiting the US & we applied and she got 5yrs. So do try.

Good development. Instead of those lousy NURTW collecting dues and feeding fat on the liquidity of the public transportation system, the someone of the money should also go to the state government coffers.
Did you read through the whole post, if you did, you would have read where the NURTW CHAIRMAN said this doesn't affect their usual levies

[quote author=PlanToSucceed post=107773260]Like a motivational speaker would say, "the issue is not the problem you are facing but the solution you can think of".

Yesterday was a tough day for me but as a full blooded naija man exposed to hard life from childhood, I immediately found a solution for the problem.

Let me make it brief.

Sikay19:
Hello members,
This is a long post and may include some errors. kindly ignore the blunders therein.

So, here it goes.

I was informed of a job offer at one of these LAPO MFB. As requested I went there to submit my application letter along with the credentials.

Getting there, I met with the branch manager. We exchanged greetings, he asked me to sit and thereafter we discussed about the job offer that the pay is #25000 and it is a three months program.

The necessity of hiring extra hands was because they have a target to meet within that stipulated time. During our interaction he went through my letter and eventually told me it wasn't within his capacity to employ that he would have to call me later today or certainly tomorrow after he must have met with the higher authority. that's how we rounded up our discussion and I left his office.

Few hours later, I received his call that I should come right away of which I was busy far away from the place coupled with that I had no transport fare to meet up.

Consequent to that, He asked me to come the following day by 8am. Noting this I went there though before going I had no office shoe as I long forgone anything like corporate work even though I was a teacher wayback.

As to this effect, I didn't want that to be an excuse for me not to go there so I dressed neatly though not tucked in because it wouldn't be proper to tuck in with slide footwear also I trekked to the place even though it's far but that's not a problem anyway.

When I got there at that time I had to wait because they were having morning meeting. After some minutes, He called me in, he asked me some questions about my name, address and others. He proceeded to tell me what he had said the day before. Thereafter, He said I would have to go their state office at Oshogbo to collect a letter indicating my employment . more like a traveling to the place costing me #1500. ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem but I didn't have that money to make the travel that's what I said.

He said the company would settle me on my return. As I was about to seek permission to go outside to make calls. One of them started talking scolding me that I shouldn't have said that I do not have money and my mode of dressing blah blah. I eventually went out to make the calls but I couldn't get any help because it was too sudden.

I went in to tell them, he returned my credentials. that was how I left.

Insults and blames are welcome but be objective please. thank you.

DoNotBeAfraid:
Hello guys I just got into the US about 2 hours ago.
Flew in using Aeroflot from Tokyo to Los Angeles via Moscow.
The Journey was the longest I ever had.
A320 From Tokyo to Moscow was about 10 hours flight time
B777 from Moscow to Los Angeles was about 12hours
And we has a 6hours layover at Moscow.
On arrival at LAX joined the queue then scanned my passport and also got the printout from the biometric .

Straight to the CBP.
Was the only Black guy on the line.
Next.

Me: Good day. Handing over my passport.
CBP: stamps me in and then asked how long are you here for.
ME: out of shock i answered About 10days (wasn’t expecting any questions and I am staying for 3 weeks. )
CBP: Are you coming from Nigeria?
ME: NO. Am coming from Japan.
CBP: where will you be staying?
ME: A hotel at Long beach.
CBP: hands me my PP. And said enjoy your stay.

Was expecting the scary interrogation I see people talk about here.
Thanks guys I was prepared for them sha.
Nice, do you live in Japan?

Truth be told, she can work out a higher chance of getting her visa application approved - your main purpose is key here. Are u going purely to flex vacation fully on ya bill or just to go hang around with a relation through out the leave period. whichever way u took, your approach must be different.
One thing am so sure about American visa is your chance of coming back. If they see a high chance u may not come back to Naija they will quickly deny u gbam.
Secondly your chance of comfortably sustaining yaself or your sponsor comfortably sustaining una over the period.
Finally, your history or that of your sponsor including travell and crime etc is also important.
Where are u based in Naija?
Was replying to a question asked, presently i'm in the US

Good day house. This is my first time here, and I will like to here your opinion.
I am single and I work with a bank, where I earn 100k. I want to apply for usa visiting visa, to visit a family member during my leave but scared of getting denied because of my marital status and low income.
Please need your opinion on whether I should go ahead to apply or just spend my leave in Dubai? Thanks
I was single, earning 150k, virgin passport (no travel experience) and got the visa on first trial. But since just by your thinking of applying you are already scared of been denied, i will say you have set things in motion (mentally), on this platform i have read someone with travel experience earning millions got denied so......, truth be told (BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE) no one can tell what factor will grant you or not but one thing i know for sure is you have to get your mind in the right place first.

My personal opinion

You can't marry a Muslim lady for any reason until she is converted and genuinely born again not just a change of religion.
Hosea - READ

People keep quoting "Do not mix with unequal yokes" at their convenience, but you if you need a job or any form of help in anyway shape or form, it's funny how that statement gets lost on us at such moments, what does that tell you? or does it only relate to when marriage is involved? If you are so holy, let it spread into every area of the life you so live, and not when it suits you.

what will you say are the 2 most important laws in the bible, if you know that answer, then....

And anyone saying one isn't a "true christian" (like you know what been one is besides someone else's opinion you have so come to take as YOUR truth) for mingling with unbelievers, tell me, from your birth till now, how you gotten any help or support (gotten a gift or shared a birthday cake) from someone who isn't from YOUR religious background, if yes, then you know where your statement should be...

Using the bible where it suits tells a lot of whomever

Good day all, I'm a silent reader here. So I went for my interview today and got denied. I will like to share my transcript.
The interview goes thus........
me: good morning.
Vo: good morning.
Vo: why are you going to the us.
Me: I'm going to the US for vacation and family visit.
Vo: where do you work.
Me: I'm the director of Anny Agricultural Feeds, we produce animal feeds for poultry and catfish and also sell agricultural machinery.
Vo: how much is your monthly income:
me: 380k.
Vo: are you married.
Me: yes.
Vo: you have kids.
Me: yes, a single daughter.
Vo: are you travelling alone.
Me: yes.
Vo: How long do you plan to stay.
Me: 3 weeks.
Vo: have you travel out of the country before.
Me: yes to Canada for study and south africa for vacation.
She now check my Canada visa and said Ok.
Vo: she ask again, are you married.
Me: yes.
Vo: oh sorry I asked you that before.
Me: yes. She now said she wanna get something clear. Vo: what agricultural machinery do you sell.
Me: we sell hammer mills, mixer, pelletizing machine for catfish, grinder and so on.
Vo: when did you start your busines.
Me: I started immediately I returned from Canada. After she said bla bla bla I should have issued your visa but not enough bla bla don't even hear again. Naso she bring my pp and blue paper and said you can reapply anytime you want.

I have no intention to stay whatsoever, even my visiting plan is a week, gat nothing to be doing in d USA, I just wanna visit my uncle and he's a police officer over there. I dont know why i was denied. No document was checked.
where do you guys think I missed it?
I think what did you in was "WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS" you should have stated in years & not "IMMEDIATELY I CAME BACK FROM CANADA" the vo might have thought you were be pushy with your travel experience & also if you didn't own the business, you should have corrected the "YOUR BUSINESS" statement.

Just my thought
