I know a lot of young Nigerian undergraduates and graduates would seek an opportunity to travel to study in USA. In this write-up, I would just give you useful hint on the requirements, how to about it and people you should see.

Before applying to study in any American school, you should be ready to take some test in Nigeria that you would add to your application. So we take a look at documents you should have before applying.


International Passport
If you do not have an international passport, then you are not ready to study abroad. Before you even think of an American education, you must have a passport. To apply for a passport, you can visit Nigeria Immigration Service website. If you are not a citizen of Nigeria and you are reading this, then you need to visit your country's immigration service.


Test and Examinations
American universities always require that prospective students have good scores in certain test accepted by the school. Now, I know some institutions might not ask you for it or say it is optional but what you should know is that it keeps you safe. That is one of the reasons a lot of students are refused visa at the embassy. You need to have to prove to them at the embassy that you can stand the education in America.


Now to the test, undergraduates would be required to take TOEFL and SAT (and graduates would take GRE and TOEFL. I would explain these exams now.

1. TOEFL - This is an acronym for Test Of English As A Foreign Language. It is a test organised by ETS and its main aim is to test how well you speak English. It test how well you would communicate with the common American and how you can interpret or communicate in writing. Its really not a big deal test but it could count at the embassy so take it serious. Undergraduate and Graduates can submit this.

2. SAT - The Scholastic Aptitude Test is strictly for undergraduates. The exam test your ability to cope with the education system in USA as an undergraduate. It also acts as a screening test so it is highly important you prepare for this test. There are lots of centers in Lagos and other cities in Nigeria where you can register for the test. I would refer you to some at the end of the article.

3. GRE - Graduate Records Examinations is well spelled out. It is strictly for those who want to have their masters program in USA. This exam would be used to test your ability to do well in USA. Some schools might not require it but it is better you take it. You could use as a tool to show how serious and intelligent you are when applying for a visa. It might not be important but its always necessary.

Transcripts
A transcript is a document that contains a record of all your scores in secondary school or the university. If you are an undergraduate, your transcript is a record of your scores from your first year in the college to the last. It is different from your WAEC or NECO results. It is your report card in school.You can get this from your college.


For graduates, your transcripts is a record of all your scores and CGPA in the university. You can always apply for that from your university's Student Records Center or see your Student Union Government for assistance.

Medical documents
Don't think you can gain entrance to US, if you have a disease that can spread via air like tuberculosis. You would be required to prove you have been immunized and you are free from some transferable diseases.This would be documented and signed by a doctor.

The Club announced on their Facebook Page:

"On Sunday they'll be sitting down for a Q&A in partnership with Malta Guinness and Airtel, so submit your questions below and we'll pick the best ones to put to the players. Remember to let us know which player your question is for!"

Has anyone noticed some website don't open on Spectranet like Facebook and Blogger

Its really annoying because I sent them a mail and no reply.

When its time for renewal they call you. When they are about to have issues, they would never call. They are just selfish.

They hardly pick their calls and when they the customer care agent knows nothing but promises what they cannot give.

Members of the Household of God Church have been barred not to discuss issues pertaining to the recent divorce of the founder of the Rev. Chris Okotie and ex- wife Stephanie Henshaw so as not to destroy themselves and also the church.

The members have been asked to respect the decision of the Pastor, considering the portion of the Bible that urged Christians to “get rid of the finger that could lead them to hell.”

According to a Ghanian Radio station, Happy FM, Ghanian soccer star, Asamoah Gyan got furious and slapped a poor carpenter for calling him “Over The Bar”.
Source: http:///yvvjdj

Read Happy FM’s report below….

Ghana captain John Mensah is begging Ghanaians on behalf of his colleague Asamoah Gyan for the unfortunate incident that occurred last Monday in the Eastern Region.

A persistent innuendo by Frank Giage, a carpenter, infuriated the Al Ain Forward, who descended on him, giving him dirty slaps. The incident occurred when Gyan, in the company of some Black Stars players and celebrities, made a stopover at Linda Dor Restaurant, near Kibi in the Eastern Region.

The carpenter followed Ghana in his comfy Escalade cream 4X4 casting insinuations and referring to him as “over the bar’. The player and those who were with him cautioned the victim to stop following Gyan but he persisted, compelling Gyan to alight and give him a dirty slap. Many condemned Gyan for his action considering the fact that he is a star and recently crowned peace ambassador. Consequently, John Mensah pleaded on ‘Baby Jet’s behalf for the unfortunate incident saying, “I was not around when the incident occurred, but I must say I am sorry for the incident.

The victim should have also considered that errors are part of the game – and the fact that the incident is past and gone and should not be revisited. “In as much as we need the fans because they play very important role in our careers, they should be tolerant and be patient with us,” Mensah said on Happy FM.

The victim did not sound remorseful for his action and even promised that he will repeat it whenever he comes across the player. The Stars and their celebrities’ counterparts travelled in a convoy last Saturday to Kumasi for the 6th Stars Soccer Fiesta Reloaded. The unfortunate incident happened on their return to the capital city on Monday evening.

Pastor and Founder of one of Singapore's richest church has been arrested in Singapore by a Corporate Affairs Department, a police unit for embezzling of about $18m donated by members of his church.

The church, City Harvest Church boast a size of 30,000 members was registered as a charity and its one of the largest and riches churches in Singapore.

Pastor Kong Hee and four other executives were arrested for diverting $18m (SG$23m) earmarked for charitable projects and spent money on a bid by the pastor’s wife, Ho Yeow Sun, to launch an evangelical music career in the United States.

The church, which has affiliates in neighbouring Malaysia and other countries, is famous for services that resemble pop concerts.

“It’s confirmed that five persons were arrested and Kong Hee is one of them,” a police spokesman told AFP.

All five, who are out on bail, have also been suspended from their church positions.

Kong and his wife, whose whereabouts were unknown, became minor celebrities in Singapore for launching the church, which authorities estimate had a congregation of about 33,000 and net assets of Sg$103 million in 2009.

In a post on popular microblogging site Twitter on Tuesday morning, Kong tweeted a Bible Psalm in Mandarin saying God will protect him from evil.

Authorities began an investigation in 2010 after receiving complaints about the misuse of the funds, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, which oversees charitable institutions, said in a press release.

“Financial irregularities of at least Sg$23 million from the Charity’s funds have been discovered,” it said.

“There was a concerted effort to conceal this movement of funds from its stakeholders.”

The five will be charged in court on Wednesday and if convicted, each of them could face life imprisonment as well as a fine.

Church officials contacted by AFP did not comment.

In 2009, a prominent Buddhist monk heading one of Singapore’s largest charities was jailed for six months for misappropriating hospital funds and lying about it to authorities.

The United States on Thursday named three alleged leaders of the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram as "foreign terrorists," the first time it has blacklisted members of the Islamist group blamed for attacks across Africa's most populous nation.

The State Department identified the three as Abubakar
Shekau, calling him the "most visible" leader of the group, and
Abubakar Adam Kambar and Khalid al-Barnawi, who it said were
tied both to Boko Haram and to al Qaeda's north African wing.

"These designations demonstrate the United States' resolve
in diminishing the capacity of Boko Haram to execute violent
attacks," it said, saying that Boko Haram or associated
militants were responsible for more than 1,000 deaths in the
past 18 months.

The action by the State and Treasury Departments, first
reported by Reuters on Wednesday, followed growing pressure on the Obama administration to take stronger action against Boko
Haram, which has stepped up attacks on Christian places of
worship this year in its drive to establish an Islamic caliphate
in northern Nigeria.

U.S. officials say the decision to list individual Boko
Haram members, rather than apply the more sweeping "Foreign
Terrorist Organization" label to the group as a whole as some
U.S. lawmakers have demanded, reflected a desire not to elevate
the group's profile.

"We took this measure to designate these three because they
are clearly kingpins of Boko Haram and clearly all of them have
advocated terrorism as a weapon," State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland told a news briefing.

"We're continuing to look at the question of a broader
designation."

Before going into blogging or even if you are in the business already, you would have to understand that promoting your blog via social media is key to increasing your presence online.

I would like to share several tips on how to promote your blog properly using social media.

1. All Blogs Must Have A Facebook Page:
Your blog must have a Facebook Page in the name of your blog. This makes it easy for users who do not have your blog url to browse their Facebook Wall, search for your blog name, visit your Facebook Page and directed to your website.

2. Use The Facebook Commenting System
If you are not using this system, then you are loosing out on a lot of traffic. If you use Wordpress, you can get plugins for Facebook Comment System. The advantage of this is that it helps you promote your blog on Facebook profiles of users who just commented on your website. When a comment is made on your website, the system post the same comment and a link to your website on the "commenter's" wall. His friends would get to see comment made on his wall and thus can visit yours.

3. Create A Dummy Facebook Page
When I say "Dummy", I do not mean "Fake".
A "Dummy" Facebook Page is a real Facebook Page that does not bear the same name with your blog but in the same niche. Consider owning a blog about Pets and you would like to promote the website on Facebook, then you would have to create a page in that interest. You can create a page and title " I hate those who hate pets". What you have now done is to bring about a Poll or Community kind of page. More people would like your page than they would to your brand name. You can now promote the page via Facebook ads, get close to 3,000 fans and start updating from your blog.

In a latter article, I would be showing you how to run adverts on Facebook at penny cost.

4. Use Blog Name As Username
If you can, use the name of your blog as your username on any social profiles.

5. Join Facebook Groups
The other step is to join Facebook Groups for Bloggers and share your blogs. This could be helpful as you could learn a whole lot from them. Do some link sharing with them to get huge number of backlinks and watch your ranking soar.

6. Create A Linkedin Account And Add Your Blog
Linkedin is a social network for professionals. if you do not have an account, please do register. In your profile, you can add up to three websites. Choose the "Blog" option and enter your blog url. What this does is to feed latest post from your blog to your profile.

Afrobeats is surely the word and looks like everyone is falling in love with the Azonto dance even Prince Williams at the Cokobar in UK.

Mr Paul Apel, a Nigerian filmmaker should be a dead man by now but for a phone call.

Mr Paul had just concluded a business deal in the capital of Nigeria, Abuja and booked his flights tickets back to Lagos. He was to fly the Dana Airline that later crashed that day killing 153 passengers on board, leaving no survivors.

After the deal conclusion, Mr Apel packed his belongings to travel until he received a call from his business partners in Lome, Togo to return to the Abuja office for an important arrangement. An unhappy Apel had to go back as he had no option.

On completion of what took him back to the office, he quickly boarded a taxi to the airport to board the Dana flight but again, the cab was unduly delayed by another. The car was blocked by another one and they could not immediately get the driver to remove the car for them to move at once to the airport.

Angered by the delay, Apel did his best to catch up with the flight but still missed it. By the time he arrived the airport, the ill-fated plane was taxing off and he had to wait for another flight to Lagos the following day..

“I was supposed to be on the flight but suddenly I received a call from one of my partners to edit something for him. That forced me to turn back to Abuja. I never knew that the call was divinely planned even though I was initially angry when it came.”
“I have no choice than to go to church to thank the Lord for protecting my life and to draw closer to Him,” Apel said.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the face of the newest edition of Vogue Magazine Italia.

Vogue Italia reads:

It’s Thursday, January 5th when we land in Abuja, capital of Nigeria. Today the Muslim’s ultimatum to the Christians expires. We have a police and military escort to ensure total security. We’re headed to the presidential palace and don’t have much time. We have to take off by 6 pm at the latest. There’s no real danger, they assure us, but it’s best not to take chances. The streets are calm, with none of the confusion one might expect. Abuja is beautiful, with lots of greenery and imposing villas hidden behind high walls.

The city has an air of wealth, and is spotlessly clean everywhere. We’re late for our appointment due to the flight before ours, as well as all the security checks. First stop for the car, second for document check, during which we’re photographed, and finally for surrendering all our cameras and cell phones. The situation is rather complicated in Nigeria right now, and everyone performs their job with attention to every detail.



The fact that they won’t let us bring any photographic equipment is a real disappointment.They understand that this is a problem for us, so they offer us a book full of photos of the President. We can choose whichever ones we want, they tell us. "No", I reply politely, "we take our own photos. Vogue has its own style and we want to maintain it". I stand there with the book in my hand and everyone’s eyes on me, wondering what I might say or do next. "Ok, let me speak with the President and see what I can do". Between the disappointment of the photographer and cameraman and the lack of reassurance that the President would even be there, I feel like it’s all my fault.



A guard and the Chief of Protocol come to lead us to the Oval Room where we were to meet the President. I turn and see my whole team looking vaguely defeated. "Smile, please. And that’s not a request!". Then Goodluck Jonathan, President of Nigeria, elected on 16 April 2011, enters the room, returning our smiles with his own. Elegantly dressed in a blue suit composed of a tunic and trousers with a gold pocket chain and his signature wide-brimmed hat, he is followed by the Vice President, who is Muslim, while Jonathan is an evangelical Christian. We are also joined by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, a gorgeous and elegant woman – who also happens to be a princess – dressed in traditional robes, with a Master’s from Cambridge and the distinction of being the first woman to run Nigeria’s most important ministry, given that it is the world’s 8th largest oil exporter.



Lastly, Edem Duke, Minister of Culture and Tourism, enters the room, with his authoritative bulk and wide-brimmed hat like the President’s. We all sit. I’m next to the President, who invites Alison-Madueke to say a few words. She offers a detailed illustration of our F4D project and our idea to dedicate a whole issue to Africa, but with a positive slant in order to convey an image of the continent that’s not all famine and death, but that is full of potential for growth and expansion toward new development initiatives. President Jonathan warmly supports both projects and he casts me a gentle look that needs no reply. "Your turn, and be convincing", his eyes seem to say. So I begin.



"Mr. President, thank you for having granted our request for an interview.It is true that we are a magazine of images, but I think that there is a lot to do in terms of your country’s image, which at the moment does not come across as wealthy and stable, despite having oil and other great prospects". He interrupts me and informs me that the country’s motto at this time is ‘Rebranding Nigeria’. "I couldn’t agree more, truly. But I would like to revive your textile industry, which used to be strong but have been overshadowed, though not forgotten, since the discovery of oil. Why sell the tie-dye patent to the Chinese, who will end up producing it there? In the course of a couple of generations, knowledge of your tradition will disappear. At least if it were produced in Nigeria there would be work for the local population and your culture wouldn’t be lost. You have amazing potential – just look at what happened in Brazil, or at how many European and American companies make their goods in China. Why can’t all this be done in Nigeria?".



He smiles and nods in agreement. I go on: "All the richest Nigerians spend their money abroad because there a no shops here, no hotels with a chic African flair, no hip restaurants or clubs. Why not build an African Rodeo Drive in Lagos or Abuja, with boutiques carrying both imported and Nigerian goods?". I stop, perhaps I’m going too far. He looks at me and says: "You know our designers. They’re talented and very creative". "Of course", I continue. "You have Duro Olowu, who is famous as Louboutin in America and Europe, and many others. There’s also Mercedes, which sponsors a lot of fashion weeks. We could talk about doing one here. In any case, there is no shortage of ideas, but we need to act, and quickly. In the northern part of the continent, Nigeria is the country with the greatest potential. Why not take advantage of it?". I stop. The President looks at his ministers with a satisfied smile and appears to agree with what I said. He then states that he will do everything to help us, and to make sure that all this isn’t just talk. "I agree, and this will serve as a basis for reflection. We have problems of various kinds, some of them very serious, but this will not impede our country from moving forward and changing our image. I thank you for having spoken openly and frankly.



Is there something I can do for you, even if you’re only here for a few hours?». I laugh, relieved, without missing a beat: "Certainly – a photo, taken by us in the Vogue style. Give us the sign and they’ll bring in the equipment". He looks around with that shy, kind smile. "How can I say no?", he exclaims. As the Minister of Tourism leaves the room, he says: "It’s true that dynamite always comes in a small package".
