₦airaland Forum

Hi Nairalanders
I am a silent member of this forum, please kindly advise me on the best way to tackle my interview for fi student visa in the us embassy. I am 44 years old family man, I have worked for 17 years in the building and civil engineering industry and I am still working. I was admitted for a PhD programme in Malaysia. Having successfully finished my candidacy stage, I returned home -Nigeria, but I could not continue with the programme shortly before the covid 19 pandemic due to some family related issues. Now I have an admit in one of the us public school but this time around a master programme and I am passionate about it owing to the sustainability content of its research work. How best can I talk about this Phd programme such that the VO will be convinced of my genuine intention without any jeopardy to my visa interview?. I am self funded, with properties in Lagos. I already have a master degree in another branch of my profession though but the proposed master has relevance to my work experience and research interest. Thank you experts in the house.

Hello, can somebody assist regarding newzealand student visa procedure? I already secured an unconditional offer of place at UC Christchurch for PhD Civil Engineering. I have paid the first year Tuition fee only personally ,for there is no funding(scholarship) presently. Do I need to pay Tuition fees for the remaining 3 years considering a 4 year PhD plan? This is for Visa application . Please advise me

bro,this your question na wa oooo

I believe there is no part of the world that doesn't have its own share of natural disaster,so I cant authoritatively say an area is less prone to one.
However,in terms of earthquake,visit GEONET,the official source for geological hazard information for New Zealand for real time information on earthquakes and other disasters. Earthquakes occur almost all the time-some you feel them,some you dont notice.It all depends on the magnitude.The link I cited will give you a rough idea. I have personally experienced aftershocks in chch lasting few seconds to minutes-but not anything major.

I just did a screen shot of an earthquake as at the time of typing now.

I think all areas are okay.The 7-8 universities in the country are located in major areas
