Please family, how many times can someone apply for EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT DATE?

Just once on one MRV(visa fee) but some people have been able to use it twice on one MRV. Its rare though

Hello everyone!!! I got admitted for a MSc due to start by January 7th, 2023 but my visa appointment is in July, 2023. So, I applied for an emergency appointment, it was approved, but I was given January 18th, 2023 as the new visa appointment date. I wrote the school about the update but the school advised that I defer my admission since I cant be in the US 30days prior to the start date.
Your prompt advise/input will be highly appreciated.[/quote]Please, when did you apply for EA? And is this for Abuja or Lagos?

"Obtaining" is a popular word used by most students on campus. If you're just hearing that, don't worry, I'll explain it to you. "To obtain" means to forcefully collect one's property either by using armed instruments (e.g knife, gun) or using some strange or scary voice..(can I call this "robbery "�) I don't know any other way to explain this but as you read through, you'll surely understand what I'm talking about. Permit me, cos I'm gonna be making use of the word "obtain".

"Obtaining" as become a culture in the university of Lagos (no offence. I'm also a student there�) and a lot of people have kept quiet about this, maybe because of the pressure or the response they get after reporting to the security officers or maybe to their friends and you know how friends do behave, especially guys. They'll just laugh over it or call you names like "ode" (meaning "fool".

I was once in the midst of my friends when a guy came in and was talking about this same issue. He shared his experience with us, how some notorious guys went away with his belongings (his phones, laptop and the little cash with him) after threatening to kill him if he shouts or make any silly move. He said,

"I was on my way home after we had an evening class in my faculty (revising for my forthcoming exams). I usually pass this road and something like this has never happened to me but I've heard of it a lot. It was 7:45pm when I left my faculty and was heading towards the second gate when I heard someone calling. At first, I pretended to be deaf not until two guys walked past and stopped me. The first guy was like " where u dey go?" and I replied him immediately that I was on my way home. At that point I noticed everywhere was so quiet and there was hardly anyone passing through that route. It was only the three of us there. Then I knew that I've entered into the lion's den�. The first thing I thought of was the laptop with me. It was given to me by my friend to make use of, for a quick revision. At that point I knew everything was just gonna disappear. I gave up.

The second guy told me to bring everything I have on me. At first, I tried to prove stubborn by not giving them anything not until the other guy showed me a gun� just below his belly. Well, I've watched lots of Nigerian movies where they make use of toy guns to rob, but I can't risk my life at that moment, besides, that was the first time someone's gonna show me a gun. Immediately, I gave them my 2 phones (with the charger�), laptop and my wallet (containing about 7k). I was just praying to God to come rescue me�. As soon as they collected everything, they disappeared into the thin air. I was speechless. I didn't even know when I shouted and some guys came and I narrated everything that happened to them. All they told me was to be careful next time, that incidents like this do happen, even on campus. Well, I'm a fresher. Maybe this is the way Unilag wants to welcome me�

After the guy narrated the whole story, my friends just bursted in laughter. "Sheybi u go dey form jagaban for campus. Why u no fight them na", said Uche, one funny guy in my dept.

But, truth be told, incidents like this are happening everyday and I know one of you reading this has been into such situation, one way or the other, or you know someone who has. Students are no longer safe in the campus environment and some have made a decision, never to step out of their hostel once it 7:00pm. Some have even decided never to stay on campus till they finish their education, due to incidents like this.
Yes, we know a university is a place where we meet different kind of people from different part of the country but if we all make up our mind to curb this social act by students (yes...students are the ones involved), working alongside with the management of the university, then we can for sure alleviate this mess.

I just hope this article gets approved so that people can be aware of what's happening in the University of Lagos. And the management of the university can do something about it or do more (if they're working on it). We're tired of this. Come to our rescue.�

Photoshop too much.... jesos!!!

but he also made it clear that man shall nt live by bread alone. a pastor is nt santa

9jaflave:
Christ was sensitive to the material needs of his followers/people. If not, he would not have fed the 5000.

I believe u are joking but if u are nt joking, the bible term people like u a big FOOL,. u beta ask 4 forgiveness so dis ur statement dnt come against u on judgement day

sonofluc1fer:
Cant blame them. Following after Jesus the great scam.
How can they tell you one man they beat in Israel 2000 years ago died for your sins and you. believed?

All I Know Is That They Didnt Force U, If U Dnt Have Will U Goan Steal
So Becos When Davido Is Performing He Throws His Chain To D Crowd, U Nw Want Man Of God To Share Rice. The Truth He Came 2 Share With U Guys Is Nothing Compared To Material Thngs. Wheda U Give Hm Money Or Nt, He Wil Stil Go Home N Swallow Beta Poundo Yam

imagine this is a state that most of the student here are starved on daily basis because their parents have not been paid salaries for more than 8 months now and are just managing, wr u expect them to get money to give the pastor, instead of the pastors to buy bags of rice full trailer come share for student, dey are busy lukn for more ways to extort more from them. Finally I didn't attend the program because of that singular reason. As in what is the church turning into[/quote]

When i see confession in tb joshua church, i remember what i studied in school. this is a stage drama that has been rehearsed for over 6 month, rubbish!!

bro, do what the bible ask u to do n leave judgement for God. as for me, i will pay my tithe n careless about who spend it. to be frank, since when i started paying my tithe, believe me, i can account for the remaining 90& unlike when i skippd a month, chaii that month was terrible

dose things you quoted as being reasons why pastors receive tithes only validates my point about tithers...
All dose expenses u listed can b taken care of with a simple contribution weekly....Paul did it with the Corinthians,so I don't see any reason why it can't work now..
the early Christians in acts did the same....so I don't understand why it can't b possible without tithes...
..wen contributions are made with d right intentions,genuine and benevolent Christians will give almost "every thing" they have...
never underestimate d heart of a generous giver....[/quote]

What Of Church Building, renovation, maintenance, fuel for d generator, for example my church used to rent the land we use and we pay monthly before we bought the land. all dis offering we give and we still ask questions about whr it went to is nt genuine offering. u shud give from ur heart n forget about it, afterall its nt by force. tithe is ordained frm God n we ought to pay because pastors are God messengers who solicit for us sometimes and 10& to be honest is nt too much if God bless d remaining 90%.

What do they do with the offerings, prophet seed, first fruit and the rest??[/quote]

see as u wan kobalize the gateman, they (ritualist) might b reading this.

you did not make dis kind of research when u were writing ur project o, just because u cnt do away with 10% n u are just selfish. so pastors shud eat wind because they r nt humans.

everythn afonja, there is an akanno by name there but u zero ur mind that it a yoruba man's doing. i pity you, always eager to segregate at every scenerio, u are worst dan trump

jeremylawrence:
just castrate the dog jare..
all these afonja sef ...

gocac:
Ronaldo is very stupid for trying to play with my intelligence! The truth about this young man is that "If its not all about him then everything is useless" he is not very happy because portugal won, rather because it puts him ahead of others to ballon d'or award. He gave it away because he felt that he is bigger than silver boot. Nonsense!

you are just a goat for this statement

i also got the interview message, please, someone should enlighten us on the procedure and everything that we need to know in order to pass the interview. tnkz

Karleb:
Ogbeni go and seat down!

i wont reply you again becos c'mon English you dont understand, how do u want to read the bible and understand.. it is "go and sit down" olodo

Pyrrho:
They didn't look like they could offer what I want. But some may call them scammers because of the price of their form.

tnk you very much bro

Karleb:
This are the type of thinking that might make me renounce this religion someday. Really!

renounce the religion na odeh, nobody will escort u to hell. read your bible n stop weighing your religion on a fellow man mistake

ptolomes:
This is the very reason that God did not ask for silver nor Gold when He commanded the tithe I challenge anyone on this forum to show me where in the scripture that silver or gold was used as a measuring unit for the tithe, absolutely none, the thithe was always from the crops, in the fields , or goat's o sheep, and don't nobody start me off on the story that their was no currency at the time so they used their crops as collateral, bros all Na wash , the unit of money was sheckles of silver or gold, and for your info the thither was per house in order words your father if her pays tithe my brother you hae no business with tithing , because our father had done that, but we live in a time that pastors need to stay in business so they device means of making people afraid and interpreting scriptures to their advantage , make no mistake it would b profitable for any venture you us it for, after the scriptures are profitable for doctrine for reproof .....long and short bros go handle your brother matter you never reach to tithe and besides check your bible well you go see say n.a. every three years wey you suppose to pay am in the End of that third year, but pastors will not tell yu this and we suppose flex the tithe together with the priests jus check Deuteronomy sha just go handle your bros firs then we go yarn

i just pity you, if God give u 100naira, to return 10naira to him as a way of saying thanks is bad abi? i pray cankerworm dont visit your pocket. even if the bible did not mention about tithe mr sheep and goat, your sense should tell you it is a way of saying Thank you to God. so pastors dont go hungry because they are preachers of the word, they shud eat air abi? mtchewww, selfish thinking
