vo; are you going to study too? *frowns face* like say i dey owe am..

me: yes i am * i frown my on face too* looking straight into her eyes
vo; what school and course
...

Truth. You said exactly what was in my mind.

LagosismyHome:
also to add , Those who keep requesting for fake statement of Account and those replying PM i would help you ..... are only adding extra scrutiny to the whole process . This is a public forum and Vos are here also , you guys should keep giving the impression that u swap Bank statement .......... Visa is just the beginning , if you dont have money better to stay in Nigeria , it not easy been in the US , illegal and no money

well done as you make it harder for those coming in .

Congratulations

vo : Tell me your study plans.
Me : I am going to the United States for my undergraduate degree in Engineering Technology which I will be specializing on Mechanical Engineering Technology which involves the industrial applications of engineering principles at Kansas state university for the total period of 48months, which will be fetching me a bachelors degree after the complications of my studies and I will be coming back to my home country joining hands with my dad deploying my acquired skills I gained in the United States into my dad's company inother to solve the challenges facing my dad's company so as to meet the global standard.

vo : Did you write any test
Me : Yes I did. SAT and TOEFL. SAT ( Reading and writing : 520. Maths : 580 in total 1,100)
vo : kept on typing for ages and said the magic words that your visa will be approved. She kept on talking but I couldn't listen to whatever she was saying my own is for her to give me my white paper after seeing so many denying of visas but I give God the Glory for making this possible and making me the first to receive the white paper after seeing so many denying.

All glory belongs to God!

Visa approved this morning. I want to use this medium to appreciate all 'nairalanders' for their willingness to help and share useful info. I've been here for less than 10days and the only regret I have is not getting to know about this platform early enough. I'm 200% confident that if I had access to the plethora of info on ds platform while choosing schools I would have worked harder to get a GA or a scholarship.

However, credit must go to lagosismyhome, walspring, texrem, femi321, oludare01 etc for all d previous info. It was of immense benefit.

God bless you all

Hello Everyone,

As we all know, this is a forum to be for students who intend to study in America. My contribution is that people should do more personal findings about schools and programmes. Since the application window for most universities in US is still open for Fall 2017 intake, the College Week Programme is ongoing. You can ask questions directly from representatives of schools in the programme.

Timi1990:
Since the day i paid Sevis i couldnot sleep well. All i could think of is Nov 15th, US embassy, VO questions etc. Fast forward to the embassy gate, i saw so many huslers around calling customers to come and print, staple , take passport and all. I did the normal screening and my transcript goes like this :

Me: good morning ma
Vo: *frown face* she didnt answer
Vo: Why are you goin to the US ?
Me: am going for my masters in international relations with specialization on National security at Troy university alabama. This course will enable me understand the nature of relations between states and the role played by international organisations.
Vo: *still frowning face* what's your plan after school?
Me: i'll be coming back home to take a research job with the ministry of foreign affairs *vo cuts in *
Vo: have you ever travel out before ?
Me: No
Vo: why ? ?

You remind me of good old days of Lagos politics. Mummy, Dadddy Sarunmi ni ke di bo fun. Sarumi is from Mushin where I live then.

dman4mdmoon:
The way things are going in Ondo state, it may bring a repeat of what happened in Lagos in early 90s when SDP candidates (Agbalajobi and Sarumi) were fighting over who became the party flag bearer thereby giving the victory to Otedola of NRC.

Thanks bro.

George Washington University (you will submit official transcript after admission)

That is Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge

One man was clearly not taking the advice of his self-help book entitled 'Never Eat Alone'

Verizon's slogan of 'We never stop working for you' proved to be very ironic when this store went out of business

A 'No standing at any time' sign decided that it had to follow its own rules by falling over on its side

Customers may have thought twice about buying fasteners from one store, after their sign came loose

Whoever decided to name a boat 'No Worries' surely must have considered whether they were tempting fate

One picture shows a road sign reading 'Thank you for driving carefully' in front of a car that's flipped on its side

A van branded 'The Republican - Where The News Hits Home' is photographed literally hitting a home

Perhaps a bit of foresight would have been good when designing this cheesy sign, given that the one word almost too faint to read is 'memories'

You can't blame the eager beaver who is nibbling away at a wooden post marked 'no feeding' for not being able to read English

The prisoner transport police car which just so happens to a Ford Escape

Similarliy, a Metro bus which has ploughed into a car bearing the statement 'safety begins with you'

A tall lorry which has seemingly taken a gamble on a low bridge and crashed spectacularly, branded with the slogan, 'on the road to success, there are no shortcuts'

Whoever crafted this 'nothing is written in stone' slab evidently has a rebellious streak

One is a photo of an extremely sticky label stuck on a brand new Tesco Value pan in an infuriatingly determined fashion, which reads 'non-stick fry pan'

That will be nice. Source please

He will play World No. 1 tomorror. Wishing him all the best.

Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri Monday night emerged as the first African ever to make it to the quarter finals of the men’s single table tennis event at the Olympics.

Quadri, in a thrilling encounter, beat his German opponent, Boll Timo, 4-2 to seal a historic berth in the quarter finals of men’s single table tennis event.

Before Monday’s win, Quadri was only at par with legend, Segun Toriola, who at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in China made it to the fourth round of the championship.

After an awesome display on Sunday in which Quadri caused a major upset in Round 3; beating Chinese Taipei’s Chuang Chih-Yuan 4-0 , many knew it would be suicidal to bet against the Nigerian who seem to have hit his peak at the right time at the Olympics.

In 10 minutes, Quadri blew away his German opponent; winning the first three sets 12-10 12-10, 12-5.

However, German star, Boll who is ranked number 10 in Rio, halted Quadri’s run as he took the 4th set and 5th set 11-3, 11-5.Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri Monday night emerged as the first African ever to make it to the quarter finals of the men’s single table tennis event at the Olympics.
