Congrats Bro! I'm enjoying your story! Pls I need a help.
I'm an SDGs Activist. Over Here in my school I try to promote this SDGs. My main focus is on SDG 11 and 12. Our main objective is to push the circular Economy, Responsible consumption and to make our environment sustainable and building a better economy through waste management and recycling! I see a zero waste world with affordable and efficient clean energy for everyone. That's my long term vision.

There's a sustainability conference coming up in Switzerland for Youths who are very active in Sustainable Development Goals and I have received emails to apply. Global Changemakers Youth summit, you could search it on Google.

But before I can submit my application, I need to pay for a participant fee which is 35 USD through PayPal or American Express or MasterCard. I have tried my possible best here but I couldn't fund my PayPal account with Nigerian Credit Card.
Please could you help me Bro? I will give you the necessary details. Deadline is on 9th March 6pm CET. I really don't want to miss this opportunity.


Okay

I want to seek an advice on getting a student visa,I got a chance to apply for a visa through a student in Chicago he was best of student in his final based on that he was giving a chance to pick known of people to come in for his (convocation) and also want to study in the university not sure if it's (UIC) and will be issued 2years visa and I just finished my (NYSC) last year Nov 2017 in Bsc Accounting......Have heard a lot about applying for Msc but kinda shakey for their embassy Q&A

One of the best way to come to U.S as non immigrant is through F1 visa. I will advise you write GMAT, apply for MSC and also plan to write CPA during or after your program. You can check UIC, NEIU,NWU, Loyola e.t.c

You may find yourself living America dream after just 2 years if you know what you are doing and with baba God on your side

Kindly check other thread for how to overcome embassy Q&A.

In the words of Mohammad Ali,when he first visited Africa(Zaire)" I'm glad my great grandfather was forced into that ship( trans Atlantic slave trade)" Bro,bondage is good for brave men o!

I agree with you

Nobody ever pray to die now or be in bondage but once you die all hope is gone. We have seen and read many stories of people who made it from bondage to liberty.

Live Football Headache

Cost of watching live football can be killing sometimes if you don't have enough income for round leather game lovers.

You need to pay about $120 - $160 a month for both home internet and all soccer channels package.

You need to wake up as early as 6:30am to watch early EPL kick off.

I have no option than to watch Champions League on my phone in the office because of time diff sad

But watching HD broadcast on 4k Ultra HD TV is one of the best experience grin

It is not worth running from the law...
better to get your status regularised in
the U.S. or try out Canada.

By the way... how are you dealing with the
crime level in Chitown?

All the best!

You don't need to run from law! You just have to find your square root once you are out of status.

Asking me about crime level in Chicago is like asking someone living and working in Lagos how they are dealing with Boko Haram.

Cheers!
