Looks like tinubu’s government is favoring igbos back to back because they love building houses everywhere they go , their cities and in villages also. Tinubu government shall favor all Yorubas that supported Peter Obi dream to put Nigeria on world map and May Agbado tribalists perish in malnutrition hahaha

... Which office are you referring to, if is festac office you are the one misleading people because I was there on Monday and nothing has happened to march file not to talk of April because I took my time and investigate everything. Servicom festac is a scam I have to retrieve my file and pay extra money couple with few other people that did their own before me. Festac servicom are still in February while the general (says the officer) applicant file are already in September. So pls if you pay agent of officer don't come here and mislead people. I actually went there base on you comment.
Ask around please.

As you can see here, some May, even June applicants are saying theirs are ready, I would have shown you the picture of the page but this is a faceless forum.
Festac is also notorious for their anti-DIY nature just like the passport office I used.

Travel › Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by BabaIbo: 5:34pm On Sep 29, 2023
aelai:
Hello everyone, I got denied twice at the Lagos embassy and I have another interview coming up on October 17 at the Abuja embassy. Please advice me on what I need to do better this time and also how to respond to the "what has changed" question. I am going to the same school for the same course.


First Attempt:

Lagos Embassy: 18/08/2023
while he collected my passport and i20 he asked

VO: where are you going
Me: I am going to Austin peay state university Clarksville Tennessee for my master's degree in biology.

VO: Who is funding?
Me: I have a graduate research assistantship position which covers 100percent of my tuition. And my dad will be covering the deficit. He is an established business, the CEO of Bleep a 3star hotel with branches in Lagos and Ogun state. He has a staff strength of 80employees and makes an annual income of over 100million naira. He has made arrangements for a standing order to have $3000 travelled to my domiciliary account monthly for a period of 4months and this will cover my deficit. Asides this having worked for half a decade I have being able to save up for this career goal.

at this point he took my i20 and started looking at it while I talked

VO: where did you do your undergraduate? (Now looking at me for the first time)
Me: I finished from the college of medicine university of Lagos, where I studied pharmacology in 2016.

vO: do you have any friend or relative in the US?
No I don't

Vo: have you traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: No, I have not had any reason to until now

Vo: what do you do? (Looked at me to ask the question but focused on the system - browsing with his mouse - while I gave the answer)
Me: I am a senior research associate at Bleep where I enhance public health and wellbeing through active participation in community and school based educational initiatives. I also work with professors and doctors to carry out community based research

Vo: Cuts me that's fine, how are you covering your deficit (still looking at the system, this time typing as well - at this point I felt he wasn't interested in this question as he was focused on the system)
Me: like I said earlier asides my gra position which covers 100% of my tuition, my dad will be covering my deficit, he is the CEO of Nijis palace (repeated what I said before)

Types for a long while, then the sorry response.




Second Attempt:
Lagos Embassy: 21/09/2023

At first I was directed to the same vo, I told the cgi but he said let the vo say that by himself.

Then at the begining of the interview I was already asked how I am funding the program. He stopped and called the cgi that he should direct me elsewhere and I was place with the vo beside.


Vo: Pass your passport and i20
Me: Good morning
Vo: Good morning.
Scanned my finger print again.

Vo: I see you are going APSU for masters in Biology.
Me: yes

Vo:You have a graduate assistantship and deficit of about...$8000, so who's covering your deficit.
Me: having worked for half a decade I will be covering my deficit that's my living expenses and also with the support of my dad. He is a recently retired branch manager of first bank with over 30years in service. He is also the CEO of Bleep a firm that operates in agricultural pharmaceutical and hospitality sectors. He manages two hotels and has pharmacies in various locations in Lagos. He is also a major supplier of palm oil to south western states in Nigeria generating over a 100million naira.

Vo; what's your highest qualification
Me: bachelors of science in pharmacology from the college of medicine university of Lagos in 2016

Vo: and the what year did you graduate
Me: 2016

Vo; what have you done since then
Me; worked as a scientific officer at raw materials development council in abuja for my nysc and worked in my dad's pharmacy for 3years before securing a position as a research associate at Bleep where I work till date.
.
Vo; so why a master's at this time
Me; the second phase of the current grant research project by my employer on drug drug interactions will require molecular processes and technical skill set. This degree will equip me with this knowledge and also improve my research and technical skill set. Also having a master's qualifies me for a higher position as a principal investigator (I paused) where I will lead and conduct meaningful research (that's fine by gesticulating with his hands)

Vo: typing
Me; I would also like to mention that my dad's company, Bleep will be opening a pharmacy branch and I will be overseeing the establishment.

Vo: you where here earlier this year
Me: yes
Vo; you have the same school, same course and deficit, (already trying to put my i20 back into passport) Me: Yes, Vo: so nothing has changed.
Me: my deficit changed its 2000 dollars less
Vo: how did it happen?
Me; having deferred to spring, my coa lessened. And my GA covers my full tuition and also comes to with monthly stipends.

VO: I'm sorry you are not qualified.

I will appreciate your feedback on the above transcripts.
Using my own understanding, I think your shortcomings is not trying to have your own life/business/field outside your dad's own.

Ok, look at it this way.

VO: What have you done since then?
You: I started my own pharmaceutical company, which main business deals majorly in supplying small(optional) medicine stores in the rural areas with the help of me and my sales team, why my manager handles my physical store while I am on supply duty.
Again, having seen the way I handle my own business, my dad gave me a temporary employment to oversee the hospitality section of his business portfolio as a 1st level manager or 2nd level manager or line manager(just find any role that suits that position which you can work temporarily or remotely).

If he ask while you are traveling to us, you may want to say "to help you in your journey of starting your own production line(Pharmaceutical company) since you already have the sales area covered and available market.
Extra: because you feel your people(Nigerians) don't have adequate access to medication blah blah blah.

As to what has changed question, extract the answer from the ones above... For example: I have been able to open/start my own enterprise/business which deals on drug supply to medicine stores in rural areas of my state blah blah blah.
This has made me more financially stable, more focused i.e my drug production plan, and lastly more resolute/unwaivering in life.
Depending on the vo, the answer may show you as someone who won't Japa but come back to his or her country once they are done with their study, that is they may believe you have every reason to come back to Nigeria since you have a growing business and a very promising plan.

Well, that is just my opinion on what you posted here.

Let's just hope that he fixes the deplorable federal roads across the nation and his insistence on concrete technology doesn't push the price of cement through the roofs.

Your write up just shows how dull you are. You are either dumb or dull. Awo,Abiola and all Yoruba strong men never ran. They faced the music and died on home soil. No single record of them leaving there people behind and running to safety. But you see the generational coward ethnic group called the ibos are known for running in the face of heated battle. One begins to wonder why they are even running from there state. Bunch of cowards who can't come out on Mondays.

Politics › Re: Charly Boy: How Can Tinubu Be 71 When He Was Arrested In 1960 In Chicago by BabaIbo: 9:26pm On Sep 28, 2023
DaddyJapan:
You are absolutely right.

I often wonder why few commentators on Nairaland advance sensible arguments like this.

The truth is, Tinubu and Atiku both took the gloves off in January of this year when they sent salvos into each other's camps.
I think it actually began with the mole in Atiku's camp who turned double-agent.
Yes, I am referring to one who released an audio clip about Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).

That was enough to torpedo Atiku's quest for high office but for the fact that Nigerians really cared little for probity and transparency in a highly charged, ethno-religious political campaign. He clearly never forgave Tinubu for that overreach. cool

Do I hear someone say there is "no honour among thieves". grin
Both of you are not thin king rig ht. Both of you need to stop seeing others as unwise and your selves as the wise ones.

In a free for all battle, there is nothing like sportsmanship. Think about that.

Tinubu fueled Wike's ego and made him and few others go against his party and you expect Atiku to keep calm when he has something controversial as this?
Had it been Wike and his group of losers took that action without any external influence, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but why the matter was going on, I believe someone somewhere was busy fanning that flame, and both of you are talking about betrayal of trust.

There is nothing like betrayal of trust here, you only talk of betrayal of trust when one of the two people is not involved in the contest or when the other person has never don any dishonorable act just for their selfish reason.

So, I think is doing what he feels or think is right for his own ambition.

You weaklings are generational cowards.
In as much as I don't support some of the actions of those you mentioned, their boys are out there causing mayhem and the security agents can't do nuffin about, does that look like running away to you?
Komkom he ad!

Unlike Naira's case, they have causes, I'm not in any position to judge if their causes is right or wrong and again, it is a known thing that there will always be bad eggs among the good ones.

Again, they are better than Igb oho, Awo lowo, Abi ola, Afo nja who are world renowned cowards.

Anyway, I think we should ask IBB because he will surely know best on this topic.

Why do this guy's always find every possible means to showcase their inferiority complex.

The letter is just a letter of approval to hold a festival in their domain, which some other tribes/ethnic groups have been doing before now.
This is more like an approval which every ethnic group who want to celebrate their day or festival do to get the government of that domain to be in the know of such celebration.

Nna ehn, these people and unnecessary competition ehn.

Na today people don dey celebrate their days in other countries?

Anyway, congrats to the reasonable ones.
