neurosci:
I remember those days when this thread was strictly about the United States students' visa application and education in America generally. Indeed, There Was A Thread!



The new development isn't bad, anyway. Somehow, the arguments and counter-arguments are enlightening and educative.



But when we argue, let's try and show respect to one another. What's the essence of arguing with insults? It only shows the kind of people we are and it won't end up serving the good purpose of education, because such arguments don't end well. Let's respect one another even during times of hot arguments whether we believe in God or not; at least it shows our level of moral standard. America or no America, all is vanity! Let's encourage more people to come here with their questions or enquiries. Describing people, especially newbies, with words such as ''lazy'', etc. in my opinion isn't respectful at all. And pls, let's respect our country Nigeria too, especially those of you already outside Nigeria. No need throwing tantrums back to us here. Nigeria can still be great, and if it can't, let's not worsen the already bad situation with our own words.



Abeg, this is just my opinion o.

God bless you. ITK people plenty for here.

TWoods:


No such thread really exists. You will have to do the hard work yourself.

First question - what course do you want to do? What level - undergrad, masters, phd? Length of time you're willing to commit? What are you looking for in terms of tuition?

You seriously cannot be this lazy when it comes to your own future.

the guy has only asked that he be directed to a thread about America schools but thinks he's on the wrong thread with all this una arguments sef. I am sure he's willing to ask some vital questions and see you trying to say he's lazy. Relax guy!

TWoods:


They are welcome. Be smart... come with a skill, education... or marry an American. As much as America is the hope for many, it is also hell on earth for the illegal.

of course there will always be a way out for the smart ones.

Believe it or not or even say whatever. America is the last hope of millions of enslaved people. They look to it as their second fatherland and in it lies their hopes and prayers. #decode#

I don't know why you think I would come here to beg for accomodation. People sha

OluDare01:

Lol! You're not gonna be the first to apply there.
They're stingy with funding.

I don't need their funding.

Free application $0 at michigan technological university. And there are many other schools with free application.

DeeTus:
Please Justwise, I do not want to talk to you anymore. You seemed too rude and is totally uncalled for. I never for once encourage laziness here. Don't quote me out of context. That dude is very hard-working. I specifically asked him to anoint his documents due to the fact that there was need to, which he did and got his visa. I have never asked anyone on this thread to do so before. God sometimes does His miracles through someone. He does not come down from Heaven. I am not God but those who know me face-to-face take my words so seriously at times. God gave everyone of us gift.

If you really don't want me here, it's much better you say it. I don't own you anything. You ought to be happy folks are here helping out. If they decide to boycott this forum, you will surely feel it because you are paid on here.

Please be a gentle man and understand we don't live our lives on Nairaland. There are so many people who got their visas without Nairaland.

e don do bro

justwise:


You actually believed that i get paid here? So you think by posting here you are doing justwise a favour? How about this..stop posting in this thread and drop your bank details i will redirect my monthly salaries from nairaland to your account starting from this month.

e don do abeg

TWoods:


There is something called freewill and the rule of law. Even your bible asks you to be obedient to the authority of your government. So if the Americans say you must be born here to be president by law, why do you think god will answer you? God doesn't exist to perform magic. Methinks you've transformed god into a genie.

well,only God can break protocols for my sake. And I still stand to say any damn thing can be achieved with prayers unto GOD!

skitkid2:

Really? even if he prays from today till next decade nonstop, its not possible.

This is one of Africa(Nigeria)'s problem, always believing they can achieve anything with prayers.

take it or leave it, anything can be achieved with prayers!

TWoods:


Lol apparently some believe "God" simply exists to grant visas to the unprepared.

I believe nothing is impossible with God too but I am quite certain He can never make me president of the United States, even if I prayed from now till 2034.

you just said nothing is impossible with God which I also believe strongly.so,take it back! He CAN be president of united States WITH GOD.
