247Hustler:
The road to America

By the end of March 2022, I have received responses for all my school applications. I have four total offers with one being funded. I was very happy but I decided to keep calm as I have read several cases of people being denied visas at the embassy.

I proceeded to arrange for the payment of my SEVIS and visa fees. I had a little delay with the payment of my SEVIS fee, so I could not pay on time. For this reason, I missed the early dates that were released for the interview. When the money was finally paid, I started looking for interview dates in Abuja. This process was arguably one of the hardest as dates were always not available. After a series of sleepless nights and sleeping on my computer keyboard, I managed to get a date that was a few days to resumption. I picked this date and began my preparation for the visa interview.

When it was two days before my interview, I left Ogun State for Abuja by road. Prior to this time, I have read news of kidnappings on the road. Although the news greatly disturbed me and my loved ones, the flight cost was exorbitant and going for that option would create a big hole in my finances considering my current and future expenses.

I got to Abuja at night and lodged at a guesthouse for two nights. On the day of the interview, I woke up very early and went to the US Embassy at Diplomatic Drive. When I got there, I met other people who were the for the same purpose and I went straight to the front. About an hour later, we lined up and were told to go in after the checks.

Throughout the process, I was so nervous because the stakes were so high. Since I was the first person in the queue, I was also the first person to be interviewed by the visa officer. My interview lasted for less than three minutes and I was approved. I quickly took my files and left the embassy for the guesthouse. Then I called my family and friends to inform them about the good news. It seemed surreal! My visa has been approved and I will be going to America!

A few weeks later, I booked my flight and the travel was scheduled for December. After spending time with my family and loved ones, I departed Nigeria for the United States in December 2022.


Yes, dreams do come true! I hope someone will try again one more time before giving up on life.

APC is the worst thing that happened to Nigerians especially Nigerians that were teenagers when they came to power.

Vote PDP

socialmediaman:
Are you one of those Tinubu's miscreants? If you're a Tinubu supporter stop quoting me, there’s nothing to discuss. Where was your voice these past 8 years? Nonsense!

socialmediaman:
The banks and corrupt politicians are 100% culpable on this one! EFCC and the rest need to investigate them and stop the corruption

FYI: There are no tension please, it's just Tinubu's mob disturbing peace loving Nigerians in the name of "protests"

They should be reminded that operation "Still waters" is still active in case of the mob escalation

God bless our darling daddy for wanting to create a level playing ground.

Children of hate and wailers can cry and kick. They have promoted themselves from urchins they were known for.

The short man wanted to contest after Tinubu wins but he is sensing defeat already. He would have made a good president sha if not that he's a terrorist financer.

Don’t forget to vote Peter Obi

Mozegee:
God will punish any man or woman,even you generations to come that is supporting this evil government. Death will knock on your doors in Jesus name. The only mistake he did was he went to collect the money he suffered and laboured to get

tishbite42:
We just need Biafran
Nigeria is a lost cause

pocohantas:
It is common sense that the bride price is presented physically. I am sure you saw the money change hands, probably from him, to his father, to the eldest man in her family and to her own father. Everyone would see it live and agree it was paid. These are rituals that a transfer doesn’t help.

The father might keep it somewhere safely, because some of them DO NOT spend it. Any day yawa starts, he would bring it out from his old box.

What is N2000 that a serious minded man who knew he would be getting married since 2018 couldn’t get? Among his ENTOURAGE, no single person had N2000? Collectively they also couldn’t raise N2000? What a set…

Was there any elder in their midst? This is why you younglings should go close to your elders/parents. Watch African Magic, you say it is local. Now you are acting like aliens at a trad. There are things you don’t learn from South Korean soaps.

Griefnet:
Grandpa we respect your old age and we praise God for giving you a long life. Please join us and respect that old age too and go and rest. When you had the strength and the health, you did what you could do, but now, just understand you don't have it anymore. So please retire to the comfort of your mansions and your wife and don't bring disaster to our already ravaged country by your ambitions. Thank you sir

Nightwolf1:
A congregation of economic assassins. One refinery for eight good years they couldn't build.

These idiots took Nigeria into double recession and created deliberately, multi dimensional poverty.

No good roads, no good hospitals, no good public schools to their credit. They are notoriously polling up debt upon debt with nothing to show for it.

Still, another cocaine addict is warming up and supported by poverty ramshackled Nigerians to take over from Buhari.

Vote wisely. The circus show can continue.

onuman:
In my place, an adage says it's a lunatic who first refers to saner persons as lunatics and mentally sick.

Even a kid in the kindergarten in Nigeria today knows that Bola Tinubu has serious health issues that contribute to great obstacles on his way to becoming president of Nigeria.

shuttox:
Yes
That's the real fact

God will make a way where Tinubu slaves think that there is no way
God is bigger than them

GBTYO:
There are hardly any Christians in Nigeria.

Change the headline to Non Muslims

losky83:
YOU ARE THE BIGGER FOOL.
THE POLICY WAS MEARNT TO REDUCE CORRUPTION BUT NIGERIANS LIKE U AND ALL THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS HAVE STOPPED HIM AND NOW THE THIEVES ARE CHANGING THEIR LOOTED OLD NOTES TILL 10TH OF FEB.
EVERY TIME A POLICY THAT WILL CHANGE THE COUNTRY IS BROUGHT FORWARD, CORRUPT POLITICIANS WILL USE THE POOR NIGERIANS THAT WOULD HAVE BENEFITTED TO KICK AGAINST IT.

Now, y'all need to pick sides with sense.

It's either you agree that the Nairaredesign is good and implemented to hurt Tinubu

Or

You agree that it's a bad move and it should not have been allowed

Righteousness2:
The ways, thoughts and acts of GOD ALMIGHTY are past finding out.

LET all of Humanity reverence, worship and Bow before this GREAT GOD.
WE all are nothing without HIM.
It's only by HIS mercies that we exist

SmartPolician:
I thought Gbaja was threatening to arrest Emefiele! How come he visited the HoR and the speaker didn't ask security operatives to pick him up? Yeye dey smell.

By the way, why are they going back and forth with this naira redesign policy?

Kingsnairaland:
Dear Ukranians. I am a man of God . These reporters and evil nato country's who are feeding you with propaganda will eventually be hailed as heroes.

They will write nice, flowery stories, which will become bestsellers. For the next 30 years, they will make money through royalties and talking opportunities.

They will become experts and you will only be statistics. Seek peace with your neighbor.... Jesus said to win a war you must have more weapons than the other side...

You can see Ukraine is begging for weapons which shows it can't win.

... Seek peace those who give you weak weapons don't want to fight Russia face to face...

.. Luke 14:31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.


God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

Both countries, Russia and Ukraine are Nazi infested.

Jagaban666:
Didn't bother to read your trash, sorry

Jagaban666:
Is there an atom of lie in what I said? Aren't SW people ritualistic? Isn't Buhari a terrorist sympathizer that threatened to soak the roads with blood is he loses? Senseless nincompoop like you with your ugly demonic tiger clawed face

Jagaban666:
Bloody terrorist, you used Boko Haram to defeat Jonathan alongside your allies from the ritualistic South West, today you're moaning like a goat on heat. Fvvl
