Uzoho was exposed in our Afcon qualifying match against Libya, reason why he lost his spot to Akpeyi in the competition proper. You can't say he has always been reliable.

Aina was Terrible in those games too. He lacks assertiveness, that's why I always hammer him.

A player is as good as his last game. Compare Uzoho's last SE game, Akpeyi's last, and Maduka's last. If not for Uzoho, Brazil would have given us at least 3 in first half alone.

Uzoho is a goalie that posts MOTM performances. Can't say the same for Maduka or Akpeyi.

Also, Balogun and Awaziem should be our two CBs for now. Rohr should never make a player play 90 mins and 3 positions at the same time. How Sanusi played LWF, LWB, and LB simultaneously for 90 mins still shocks me. That is human wickedness on Rohr's part.

Subzero047:
Uzoho was pulling a match of the match performance against Brazil before he was injured e be like say una don forget

Uzoho has rescued us from tight spots especially during the world cup

Uzoho exudes confidence. He knows how to command his backline, how to shout on his players. Guy made crazy saves against Brazil and Ukraine. Remember the save that gave him his injury?

Uzoho and Maduka are still almost the same age. However, Uzoho has the experience of a much older player. Remember his game against Tunisia in AFCON? Commanding. Uzoho is our African Allison Becker.

I still believe he has what it takes to be one of the best goalies in Africa in coming years.

Eze is good. See free kick abeg.

NoTimeZone:
I got admitted to three test optional schools.
Arizona State Uni, Kent State Uni (both Accountancy), University of South Alabama (Business related majors) with a common app fee waiver, and others are yet to give me a response.

Full rides?

NoTimeZone:
I think the bolded shouldn't be a problem as even American students couldn't take the test as a result of its cancellation.

My friends took the SAT last month, with very high scores (1540, 1480, 1450s). You are applying from Nigeria, not America. Your applicant pool is not the same.

If you are applying test optional to the same school someone in your applicant pool with 1540 is applying to, you'd likely not be considered first.

Lifeisforliving:
Please was it written on i20’ wether it’s hybrid or oncampus?

No.

bigfrancis21:
Are you going for Spring 2021?
Was your program start date within 60 days?

Yes.

Friedpotato:

Me: Okay

VO: So have you ever been to the US?

Me: No

VO: Have you travelled out if Nigeria before?

Me: Yes

VO: What do you plan to study?

Me: Engineering or computer science

VO: When you get to school, do you stay on or off campus?

Me: on campus

VO: So I can see everything looks okay, congratulations, go to ... to pay your reciprocity fee...

Cocao:
How did you get this appointment? This Abuja people and their undercover appointments.

Good luck to you !

Schedule normal appointment on any date, then request emergency appointment after. They'll get back to you.

Having my interview tomorrow. Wish me good luck.

Dennis has a knack for the big stage.

Personally, I don't see why he is not a regular in our SE list. The guy was our best sub against Brazil.

Curious2020:
for the IDOC is a bank statement for a duration of 3 months accepted?

Supporting docs are usually payslips, and the instructions are the year before. For example, you would submit 2019 BS

LagosismyHome:
Life sha.....That girl in Dartmouth do you actually know how she fairing, if she ok, if she struggling with culture change or general well being. You have concluded that since she didnt respond then she snubbed you when you dont even know what happening on her world

Continue... one day you will understand that nobody owes you anything

Thank you... Since school started, I haven't even gone to Quora. No time. Classes are too intensive, no breathing space. Now, I so much appreciate guys who are in school who still try to answer our questions here.

Curious2020:
Pls how?

When you complete the profile, you'll be directed to a payment page where you can use an atm card to pay

Curious2020:
Pls can I pay for the css profile using a Nigerian Bank account?

Yes

Curious2020:
Oh I already printed black and white, I hope it will be accepted

It doesn't matter, as long as it is clear and legible. I printed black and white, even used my worwor Tecno camera to snap it, edit it and send to all my schools, and none complained.

kentebemoney:
Plan was 4-2-3-1, worked well in the first half, change of personnel (Agu for Frank) upset the midfield chemistry.
Good game from both sides. Nice to see tijani play.

Game I watched was completely the opposite of everything above, except for maybe the last sentence.

Subzero047:
Those who argued with me about Balogun should get ready to tender their apologies

Many highly respected members of this thread even said, and I quote, "Ekong is the only defender assured of his starting spot, Balogun, Semi Ajayi, Omeruo and Awaziem will fight for the other spot".

I don't know how some people watch football though, but as for me, I have never seen Ekong play good football as a defender. His game is just aimless clearances and wild tackles. Ekong as a defender is not disciplined enough to start in any Bundesliga club.

Oldboss:
u are damm right


Ekong is becoming Slow

When I said on this thread that Ekong was a kick and rush defender, some people on this thread were castigating me.

You can't plant corn and reap corn flakes.

If someone has full funding from a top 20 school (undergrad), what is his/her chances of getting denied visa?

Kog45:
Kelly my man, a fit Balogun would start ahead of Semi and Uduokhai and proper tournament don't rule out Omeruo.Awaziem truly average defender but proved me wronged with his performance in the last Afcon.

...but funny enough I don't rate Ekong.

Apart from Jordan,i don't see Kevin, Uduokhai getting it easy with our present defenders

I don't rate Ekong too. The guy seems jittery at times, and he clears the ball too much. His game is very one dimensional. World beating defenders have the ability to play the ball out from the back, contribute heavily in attack, initiate counter attacks with smart long balls, etc. Ekong simply doesn't have that in his arsenal. He is a good defender when you are parking the bus, but not much else.

TheSuperNerd:
Tolu is not a striker that will entertain you much with fancy legwork or skills but he is a cold blooded finisher. A very good goal poacher.

He is your targetman kind of striker like a Giroud for instance and does have the ability to turn quickly in the box and poke one in. Hold up play is decent and uses his massive size pretty good in duels. His aerial prowess is also very good as he scored a couple of headers taking advantage of his super height of 1.97m.

He really bullied the Defenders in Latvia and also got the better of Dele Alampasu when he came up against Dele. They had no answer to his size mixed with a deceptive form of quickness.

Dzeko style then?

Ikenna04:
Good day all,
i am a prospective undergraduate and i would like to know what schools will be able to give me funding. Below are my scores
SAT 1310 TOEFL 90 GPA 3.3
please if possible full funding schools.

Evaluate your WAEC, apply for merit scholarships at HBCUs.

If you need full financial aid, like real full funding, I'd advise you retake the SAT, score above 1400, and ED to a top University or LAC. Apply through common app.

Nostradamus1:
Hi bro,

Thanks

Has anyone been able to get an interview slot for an F1 visa in Lagos?
I hear some people are being interviewed in Abuja.

The embassy in Abuja is totally empty. No one is being interviewed.

iamhumble2020:
thanks!

Pls can you show me a "sample letter from a counselor to show that college application fee presents hardship to the students family", my counselor has not done anything related to US admission.
I tried google searching but i couldn't find anything.

Concerning the ISFAA i already have the form but i have to enter the list of universities I'll be applying to, but only 7 spaces are available but I'm applying to 8 only 2 of them use the isfaa should i mention the remaining 6 in the ISFAA form? or i should mention Only the ones that use the ISFAA?

Thanks.

About the hardship letter, just construct something in that line. It doesn't necessarily have to be flashy or ambiguous. Just write a succinct letter stating how you are facing financial hardships and how the application fee is a burden on your family.

For the ISFAA, I'll advise you do one per school, listing only one school. It is generally not a good idea to let a school know the other schools you are applying to, and you are not obliged in any way to do so.

iamhumble2020:
Registration for css profile is $25, additional report cost $16, do i need to pay for registration if i already have a waiver code from a college? I'll be applying to 8 colleges tho. How do i use the institution specific fee waiver code?

Also the 8 colleges I'm applying to have an acceptance rate of 20-30% respectively, is that safe enough to secure admission as an international student?

1. You can only use a waiver code for one college. Ask the other colleges for waiver codes, or if you can submit the ISFAA instead.

2. It depends on how much you are looking for. 20 - 30% acceptance rate should be schools like Vassar, W&L, Tufts, etc, but you have to realize that as an international student potentially looking for financial aid, the acceptance rate for any school is far lower than that. Some of these schools have a financial aid budget to cater for only one or two Nigerians per year with funding, and hundreds are applying. So, you have to be super competitive. Another option would be to pick a very nice and suitable school and hit it ED.

Nostradamus1:
Bro I need a step by step guide on how you applied to Fisk University

Bro, I replied your email and sent you a message on WhatsApp. I'd really like to talk to you before you write the sat, just give you a few exam day tips to seal your 1500+. Thanks bro.

charlesemeka85:
both are possibility for the games on September because they need to be cleared by fifa before turning out for us thats why my guess i adarabioyo and saka

When players agree, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be invited immediately. Players like Akpom, Lookman and Enaria have already agreed for some time now, but the necessary FIFA switches need to be done.

do4luv14:
Finally.... The players Tbaba1234 and TheSuperNerd, are both refusing to let out are




























Junior Lokosa and Stanley Okoro........

Torunarigha and Uduokhai
