Above all pray for favour from God

1. You and your spouse have been in stable employments for 7 years and 6 years respectively.
2. Your spouse's company appreciates her Human Resources to the extent of investing in them, by sending your wife to Ghana for capacity building. So it is assumed she won't be in a hurry to leave such an organisation.
3. She has been to Dubai on vacation and
4. Your unused old passport without any refusal, could indicate that you weren't desperate to abandon Nigeria.

For me these are strong ties.

You mean when asked I should say my company email instead of my persinal one I filled on my ds 160 ?

I think this where you lost it. You should have proudly give your official email address, the VO only wanted an assurance that you work with the bank you mentioned.

Your official email address is different from your company email address but would be same domain.

hello house, please i need your advice : I applied in August 2017 to attend my dad's birthday organised by my elder sister though we don't bear same surname because she is married but denied... I bought another MVR, cancelled my interview because the bigger boys crossed us while traveling and stole my bag containing my laptop, passport and other document though have applied for another passport......Now my question is can i use the same MVR to apply for my friend's wedding coming up next year without any issue arising that I intended using it to visit my sister before

The most important question is how strong are your ties to your country of residence? Reapplying without significant improvement in your economic and financial status is waste of scared resources.

Thank you for the advice. I know that invitation letters are not asked from Applicants in most cases. Even so, my host to be wants to send an IV to the US govt.

My question is

1. Should it be sent to Abuja or Lagos?

Anyone who have an idea of anything like this should please tell me. I am aware that they don't ask for Invitation letter from applicants, however in this case my host to be wants to send a copy to them

Kilode?
Send IV to US Government, na so the matter reach?

sheriffmarshal:


Smiles.....i suggest you read more....cyberattacks can be successful against anybody! even if you spend Nigeria's 2017 budget on Cybersecurity.....a lot need to be done wrt awareness on this topic.

You should rather read more on the issue.

For your information, any device that has any form of connectivity is exposed to cyber attack however, it is the cybersecurity put in place that prevents successful attacks (or blocks cyber attacks). Cybersecurity can be as simple as anti-malware, anti-spyware or anti-virus software etc.; even complex such as cryptographic software, firewall, Intrusion detection system (IDS), Intrusion prevention system (IPS) etc.

Cyberattacks happen every second.

AntiWailer:
I doubt if a Cyber attack can be successful against a Nigerian Bank.

They are highly regulated and they spend too much on IT infrastructure for that to happen.

Bank customers can be tricked to let go of their credentials via phishing but 2 factor authentication can protect to some extent.

The plenty innovative products exposes the customers to a lot of risks too but they make enough money to cover their risk appetite.

I agree with you absolutely.

However, our banks have been very proactive in customers' awareness in order to reduce the incidence of being tricked to give away their credentials to cyber criminals.

Jobberman was few years ago acquired by an international investor but Opeyemi and his partners remain on the board of the company.



This list is incomplete without the name of my "aburo" Pharmacist Taofeek Odukoya.

Deadlytruth:


Then it should have been KTN as KTU would be easily mistaken for Ketu. It all shows that those who coined the abbreviations did not do a thorough job.

I guess it was done that way since Ketu is not LG headquarters. AKD is another one that most Lagosians always mix up because AKD used to the number plate abbreviation for Ikorodu Division in the early 70s.

AKD was derived from Akodo, the capital (or headquarters) of Ibeju-Lekki LG.

EKY is Eti-Osa I guess

EKY is for Ikoyi the capital (or headquarters) of Eti Osa LG. It could have been IKY but letters (O, I) similar with some figures (0, 1) were avoided in the abbreviations.

pinnket:
cheesy

Its very simple.... During the change of name for unilag, MKO Abiola already had two tertiary institutions named after him, so why naming a third one after him?? Him get 3 heads?

Secondly, the prestigious institution is among the first generation university and has already made name. The mention of UNILAG alone has this swag that comes with it as a mega school in a mega city in a mega location... For those who dont know, the fight to revert the name back to unilag was fought by the ALUMNI not the student.

So therefore you can't just wake up and change the name to MAulag... dafuk ??.. sounds like incantation.




God bless UNILAG. I never regretted schooling there!!

Same way the Old Boys of the first secondary school in Nigeria fought for three years to get Lagos State Government revert to it's old name, CMS Grammar School, Lagos.

In 1973, the state government changed the CMS Grammar School, Lagos to Lagos Anglican Boys Grammar School, Bariga. LASG reverted to the old name in 1976 after much pressure from the Old Grammarians' Society (OGS), the school's Old Boys' Association.

Bros, it says turkish cyprus, so that means turkey. Well, i wouldn't know, I don't condone arabs or fly with their planes or fly to their countries. When i for dun see turkish, na to cancel that route straight.

I have a solution for arabs, let arabs take current day Israel and let all the arabs in north Africa go back to their countries and land, we can give Israel current day Algeria.

Turks are not Arabs but of Caucasian race, that is why they can apply to join EU. If you call a Turk an Arab man, he'll be mad at you.

Turkey of today used to be a Christian nation until Islamic jihadists took over the land. Most of the cities Paul wrote epistles to, in the Bible are in Turkey today.

See Christian sacred sites in Turkey.

He is not a confusionist. North Cyprus or Turkish Cyprus is not a recognised country. It is Cyprus' land occupied by Turkey.

Turkish Cyprus is the northern part of Cyprus that Turkey is occupying. Cyprus itself is a tourist destination.

What is Jerusalem without the temple which is still a mosque?
Those people rejected xtianity for Islam,so why are you pained?

Deception.

Ira Lapidus distinguishes between two separate strands of converts of the time: one is animists and polytheists of tribal societies of the Arabian peninsula and the Fertile crescent; the other one is the native Christians and Jews who existed peacefully before the Muslim invaders arrived.

Are you God? Who are you to decide who gets Bethlehem?

Bethlehem is now with Palestine. Jordan retained control of the city until the Six-Day War in 1967, when Bethlehem was captured by Israel, along with the Sinai and rest of the West Bank. In 1995, Israel turned it over to the Palestinian National Authority in accordance with the Oslo peace accord and the Sinai was returned to Egypt.

Most of the sites we read in the Bible are under the control of the Moslems today; the Palestine Arabs already have Bethlehem, Damascus is in Syria, Mount Nebo in Jordan, Seven Churches of the Revelation (Ephesus, Pergamon, Smyrna, Laodiciea, Sardis, Philadelphia, Thyatira) and Assyrian Orthodox Church of Virgin Mary in Turkey and so many in Iran, Iraq, Egypt etc. More than half of Armenia, the first Christian nation is now part of Turkey. All these sites were taken over during the Islam conquest.

Jerusalem which they now say it's their third holiest site but it's the only holy site of the Jews. They won't give it up.
