Education › Re: United State Scholarship To Africa Program Is by dean2725: 4:45am On Dec 15, 2008 |
carloshodi: Dear All,
I saw this Thread on the Internet, and I thought to myself, why effective correspondence had not been affected all these while. I called Amouse Diop, The President of USSAFRICA Team, and queried/protested the matter. After due diligence, I promised the Body to answer several questions brought before it by sharing my own experience with all, It is a good thing that you have all brought these very crucial fears onboard, this of course will allow USSAFRICA.ORG meet to the ethical issues students are confronted with. As a beneficiary of the Scholarship, I think I should say one or two experience, and if you are not convinced, I would strongly advised that you have someone in the USA contact them in their Office.
This is not some Scam or Game. It is serious Business! The Model was fashioned by great minds that invented the Idea in the first place. They thought helping Africans achieving their too many dreams should be done in order to place Africa amongst the 20th Economy in 2020, with her Human and Natural resources. It is an Avenue to Trained Africans in diverse field of education to face the challenges ahead of us.
More ways you can find out is visit some of the website of the schools and colleges where awards are utilized, through their admission office; some of the matters can be addressed. You can also contact the USIS or the US Consulate to petition about this matters, that if you have been scammed by them, just beyond all reasonable doubt I would like ndisnoopi[/i] to tell us how the USSAFRICA are scammers and fraudsters in your petitions and claims.
In 2004 I had these same fears, and I waited till 2004 before I was convinced, that is after my family in the New York has gone up there in their Office to make every necessary enquiries. Then it was $32.50cents. I was scared of making any payments, worst still there was no medium of sending the payments to them. I then had to make final arrangement with my Uncle in DC, and my Aunt in IL - Chi-town precisely, and the payment was sent.
My Heart nearly entered my mouth when I didn't hear from them, i.e. after payments, documentations and all necessary paper work has been received by them. For 8 months I didn't hear a word from them, boy I almost died of thoughts. Thinking I have been dubbed and scammed of my money, in the interim, on 5th, July 2004, I received a package that was bookmarked "Scholarship Award". My Nephew called me where I was doing my NYSC, I just got a phone then, that I received a package, I was Leary and told her it wasn't mine. But she insisted, well I had to give in, and I called my Uncle and Aunty in DC and Chicago if they sent anything. I even had to call up Uncle Wale Oshodi, My Uncle in Lexington on whether he sent anything; he declined it. However, it took some time, at least like 3 months, when we passed out from our NYSC, 18th November of 2004. I went home, and to my greatest surprise, it was USSAFRICA bookmarked "2004/5 Scholarship Award". Inside the envelop 'FedEx' precisely was several paperwork, amongst which includes:-
1. F1-20 2. Certificate of Award 3. Admission Packet of University of Kentucky - Undergraduate, such as Admission Letter, Brochures, Campus Map, and Hostel payment slips and other stuffs 4. Another Envelop containing Interview Reservation, and USIS payment slip 5. Reserved Student ID No. 6. Bank Statement clipped with Another Certificates of Awards from Negro Trust Fund 7. FIB-CIA certification Benchmark of USSAFRICA.
When I received this, I had to spend some few nairas, I think then it was N7, 500 through FedEx, I sent everything to my Aunt Oluwakemi Adekunle (Nee Oshodi-Tapa) in NY. She received it, and went ahead to contact the IRS, FIB, CIA and Homeland Security on the Authenticity of the Award. After due findings, my Aunt called me to inform me that the Award was Genuine, and that I was very lucky.
I made every preparation, and did all necessary test, "yellow Fever, Polio and other cardiac’s test plus AIDS/HIV". I booked for the Visa Interview and on the interview dates, I was actually nervous and holy me, I was freezed. I went up to Counter "4", got cleared, and I was told to wait, I waited, and I was ushered in to Counter "7", the inner room - that is, if any of you have been to the American Embassy. I met Sara Clifordson (Now very close and experiencing mutual friendship), she asked me several questions, where I maintained I was still undergraduates, and she proofread through my documents, scanned through and said to me, how did I heard of the USSAFRICA, (2), What are my reasons for going to the USA to Study with the acclaimed scholarship award. (3) What convinced the Scholarship Foundation to shortlist my name for the United Negro Trust Fund, which was explained in my ESSAY I sent to them when I was submitting my Requirements during the Application process. "[i]Although every student is given the avenue to doubt, because without this, it is too good to be true, which is the psychology behind the events" as quoted by Nuobusira Akuame from Uganda (A fellow Recipient) in Spring 2005 when we were called for approval in NY.
My Advice to the second Speaker is that, you don't know these people. It is true that there are so many scammers out there. This was the reason why the USSAFRICA was done in secrecy in 2000-03, when it was only given to family members and was done free. But those beneficiary don't even know what they were doing, misusing the opportunities, that are open to Meticulous and Intelligent Students across Africa.
If you want to confirm about me or how I have benefit from them, you can also contact the Homeland security in the US, the FIB and CIA. Because I won't want to drag my family's name in the mud. I have my reputation to protect, and the USSAFRICA has also been a source of contribution to this integrity in the past and present, they have shaped my thoughts, and have educated me on how the global environment works. The USSAFRICA have been responsible in sponsoring some events I have attended, such as Peace and Conflict Resolution in The UN, as an Ambassador to Africa. We have Adewale Oluokun in TEXAS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY. You can log on to this school’s website and see how this young man performs. He was a Beneficiary of USSAFRICA scholarship. I wonder why people will see their fingers inactive to tap buttons with incoherent words to assassinate Organization characters such as USSAFRICA. You don't have an Idea of what you are saying ndisnoopi and I advise you do your findings well. If paying the $100.00 cent that is your problem, as you coined it "Hard earned Money", you can have your people check the organization out with whatever source you want to use, before drawing irrational and misplaced conclusions, this is a whole bulk of misrepresentation.
Contact these schools and make your findings, if I have not said so already in one of the paragraph:
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, Chicago, Illinois TEXAS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Lubbock, Texas UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, Fayetteville, Arkansas CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, Oxford, Ohio UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII. Honolulu, Hawaii UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO, Albuquerque, New Mexico UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, Las Vegas, Nevada UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Ann Arbor, Michigan UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND. College park, Maryland UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, Lexington, Kentucky HOWARD UNIVERSITY, Washington D.C. UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON, Houston, Texas
I think I m done here. Before anything i think i need to make a point clear that though i am a nigerian based in the US, I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SCHOLARSHIP of any kind but i can't help it when i see my fellow 9ja falling into hand of scammer( not carloshodi). So am trying to help just like carloshodi had helped. It is normal when 2 people vying for a common course to differ on a particular issue. honestly i appreciate your effort in trying to educate your fellow nigerians. But if truely you are trying to help with your information and you want to prove it to everybody in this forum that you are not part of this USSAFRICA team trying to lure people( i speak thousand's mind). As a beneficiary of this USSAFRICA , pls try to shed more light on the following observation about USSAFRICA. [list] [li]The first thing is the way they design the website. It is as if the site was built purposely for a fraudulent act.Of couse website is built for a particular purpose but in my own opinion i think there should be a page/link that will tell more about the programe.g like name of the funding members. anybody that had visited the site and have some knowledge about web designing will understand my point. I dont think an organization of that magnitude will settle for that kind of unprofessional website considering the people the web claimed initiated the organization[/li] [li]If you scrol down to the bottom of the home page.There is an adress: INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION CENTER, 143 VARICK STREET,NEW YORK, if try to google-search the ad you will find nothing.I also searched by mapquest, there is nothing like the international notification centre. Although there is varick street in NY but i doubt this international notification center.you can follow this link: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=New+York&1s=NY&1a=143+Varick+St&1z=10013-1106&1y=US&1l=40.725914&1g=-74.005748&1v=ADDRESS&2c=New+York&2s=NY&2a=143+Varick+St&2z=10013-1106&2pn=international+notification+centre&2y=US&2l=40.725914&2g=-74.005748&2v=ADDRESS#a/search/l::143+Varick+St:New+York:NY:10013-1106:US:40.725914:-74.005748:address::1/m::7:40.585186:-73.928248:0:::::/so:International+Notification+Centre:::r::25::::1:/e. Moreover you can try to post the address your aunt used for the confirmation for all doubting mind to see[/li] [li]Also, i checked some of the school you listed. pls follow this link to see the type of scholarship available in university of houston in TX: http://www.uh.edu/admissions/financial/undergraduate/types-aid/scholarships/[/li] [/list] i am not saying USSAFRICA is a scam and i am not dissuading/discouraging anybody about it but i think this is a forum where any sensible contribution is welcome  . Moreover i think i have the freedom to express my opinion without any crucification. Dont mind me , afterall what do i know?  |

Romance › Re: Help A Friend In Need by dean2725: 12:33am On Dec 15, 2008 |
i think the situation is simple but needs some patience and tactical approach. your friend's priority is to get herself out of the mess not wether telling the husband or not, though telling the husband is a good gesture atleast,she is trying to put light to where the man has a total blindness
(remember anybody can be the husband ) and telling the man will be the greatest thing she will do
for him. However, she can't be overwhelmed by somebody's problem while she also has her own prob and you can
never evisage the resultant of telling the husband especially when the lady feels she want to take a revenge after all
the apology. Your friend needs to be very carefull and easing herself out of this demands some sociological aproach.
i have the feelings that the poster of this thread is the victim, but what is my headache with that? |

Politics › You And Obasanjo One On One: What Would You Tell Him? by dean2725(op): 9:23pm On Dec 14, 2008 |
Obasanjo is no doubt the only president nigeria ever had that had the greatest opportunity to change our country for good , he was the longest serving and the luckiest former president of Nigeria. olusegun okikiola aremu obasanjo was military Head of State between 1976 and 1979 and the civilian president for good,solid and uninterrupted 8yrs but the self proclaimed messiah failed us recently he was in United Nations headquater in New York. when i saw him, i was fuming and i felt like telling him to his face what i feel about him but i was unlucky to talk to him.  So if you are lucky to meet and talk to obasanjo, what would you tell him? |
Family › Who Do You Like Most: Your Dad Or Your Mum? by dean2725(op): 7:26pm On Dec 14, 2008 |
Hmmmmm, this life sha. i think atleast 70% of men and women especially in most third world countries like Nigeria would like their mother more than their father. some months back a girlfriend of mine loss her mother, but i had the shock of my life when this girl did'nt feel bothered about it, though not happy but think losing her father will be more painful. Afterall "i love my dad more than my mum" she said. so for you guys in here, who do you like most?, your dad or your mum
me?  , i think is my mum,. . . . . . . that is why i was shocked in the first place. |

Nairaland General › Re: Winter Vs Summer by dean2725: 9:20am On Dec 08, 2008 |
 i think winter is more preferable to summer.  summer makes you feel tired easily and there is a limit to how you can protect yourself in summer. sure you can have your AC blazing in your room as well as in your car, offices and what have you but you can't have your lovely AC following you to every place.But in  winter, too cold though but you can wear as many cloth as you like when you are not in your car or house to shield the cold-you have your thermal wear,jackets,gloves,cap and even boot. 2 . . . . .underwear pants 2 . . . . .trousers 2 , . . . .very long socks 1. . . . . . underwear singlet 1 . . . . . . thermal wear . . . . . . . . your shirt gangan 1 . . . . . . thick jacket (but 2 if the cold is sturborn)  . . . . . . . , cap . . . . . . . .your ear guard . . . . . . .your strong gloves hahaha!!!!, i swear that cold go fear, the cold dey mad ni? |
