Dareal90s:
God will never vindicate a criminal, so because he brought ppl from SA his sins are forgiven? You must be a criminal too.

Seriously I’m tired of people,that’s a very senseless comment..so disheartening!!!

Decolonel:
You see this country will never move forward. Why are they trying so hard to bring this man down?. A man that single handedly brought Nigerians that were stuck in SA during the xenophobic attack. He spent millions doing a humanitarian job just to do good and here they are digging up his mistake in order to ensure his downfall.

God will vindicate him. If not for anything, for the sake of the sacrifices he has made in this country.

STFU!! If he’s found guilty,let him face it..I’m tired of Nigerians ranting about SA help to humanity shit..that’s why that country is F**ked up!That country will never move forward with shallow and daft minded people like you.

I’ve been issued too..Thank God

Same here lol..August 7th o

Oga boss..you do well

Window 10, Abuja US Embassy

V.o : Good morning
Me: good morning

Vo: so what’s the purpose of your trip
Me: going for my MPA at UIS(in full though)

Vo: oh forgive me, I have your i20 I dunno why I asked
Me: smiles*, that’s okay

Vo: I see your resumption is in January
Me: Yes (I wanted to explain why I had to defer and reschedule to this month but I didn’t)

Vo: so what’s your highest degree
Me: A B.L (Barrister at Law)

Vo: when was it obtained and where
Me: told him.

Vo: so how many school did you apply to
Me: 3

Vo: how many admits
Me: 2

Vo: which
Me: UIS and AU

Vo: so why this school
Me: Well My 3 top reasons for picking UIS over AU, one, the school is situate at the state capital which is the hub of policy making for the state of Illinois, which brings me to my second reason, there is a program called the Illinois legislative staff internship program which would allow me...(cuts in)

Vo: smiles* I think I understand already. So tell me, you’ve read law, why MPA now?
Me: uhmm, from my undergraduate studies till now that I am in practice, I have come to realize that it is not just enough to make or interpret laws/policies, one major problem of this process is implementation! legal skills alone are barely adequate to help solve such contemporary problem. They are so many laws/policies that are being made everyday but never implemented, for example, the national minimum wage Act which was passed into law months ago, is yet to be implemented.
(I paused to be sure he was paying me attention)

Vo: (looks at me and signaled that I carry on)
Me: A degree in MPA would help me conceptualize and interpret both existing and future laws as well as it’s implementation in accordance to risk and uncertainty. Also to help examine to what extent in devising and executing a policy affects the overall shape and impact of such policy on the categories of persons it is made for or the citizens as a whole. This is important because at the end of my program I’d like to work with the National Institute of Legislative studies, an organ of the NA, they provide the same service that the Congressional research service provides the US Congress and ...(cuts in)

Vo: smiles* I think that’s fine. How many siblings do you have? What does your older sibling do?
Me: I have 2 sisters and I am actually the first

Vo: Okay, so where does your dad work? He is sponsoring you, right?
Me: No, he is not. My uncle is.

Vo: what does he do?
Me: he is a legal practitioner and also a SAN(in full)
Vo: where does he live?
Me: ***Abuja

Vo: Okay, can I see his bank statement?
Me: yes, sure (hands it over)

Vo: (types for 5mins or less) so I’ll be giving you a conditional approval, this is because we need to verify the authenticity of the bank statement. If it is found to be fraudulent, you’d be banned from the US for life. Do you want me to go ahead?
Me: yes sure.
Vo: (hands me the white paper and a white slip) congratulations....I can’t remember exactly what he said after that.

Ernestamy:
Please house assist with advice on what to do. I have almost lost hope for Fall 2019 due to the fact that I didn't get any form of funding from my department and the other departments which I applied to.This evening I got a mail for Skype interview with one of the department chair. After the interview he sounded hopeful although he asked me if I can be able to get to Ball state university in 2 wks time if granted this offer with a little extension. I need your advice on the possibility because I haven't gotten my I20 neither have I booked for an interview

Okay I think it’s kinda late tho,considering it takes About 5 days to get that 1-20,you haven’t booked an interview as well..spring is smiling at you..discuss about the possibility of that funding for spring instead.

LagosismyHome:


How do you know for sure that this is the reason why you were denied ........ you cannot know for sure. I will not say this answer if it was me . Rather i would say I was not provided feedback when i was denied so i dont know .......and leave it at that because really how do you know the real reason .... if you start talking of confidence then subconsciously the VO can be watching out to see how confident you are

Lol it’s just better to pick a line on that pink paper issued..i was unable to demonstrate my intended activities in the United States and was therefore found ineligible under section 214(b).

Thanose:
Good evening House
