I saw a lot of persons on native ooo. My interview was on a Friday shaaa. I saw someone with Agbada, one woman tied canopy as gele
As long as you are comfortable in the outfit, as long as it's decent and neat, I believe you can.
If you feel people will be looking at you awkwardly and it could affect your composure, please just wear shirt, trousers and shoes. You can even rub small powder and lip gloss

Thanks I appreciate

Charmingrascal:
To all those NYSC is a scam/waste of time crew
I have to tell u that you are wrong, just because u failed to see the opportunities in the scheme as Youth does not mean others will be like you


Your service year might be a waste to you if you were unable to do any productive thing or make any productive move.




To all Batch B and prospective corp members your mindset is important it is a determinant factor if you will be productive during ur NYSC, don't listen to NYSC is a scam crew if you listen to them you have already started failing

If they tell u NYSC is a scam tell them this; because u fail to see the opportunities in it does not mean I will be like u.

Many of the NYSC is a scam crew are still not productive even after the service year, now tell me is it NYSC that Is a scam or they themselves.

I am Corp member and I can tell you that I wish I had served earlier than this, I listened to the NYSC is waste of time crew and I decided not to validate my registration for two years after graduating from Uni. Right now I am enjoying my service year in Jos Plateau

Keep quiet jor!! If we confirm now,na one stupid one bedroom wey roof dey leak him dey live.
Never ever have I seen someone as dull as you sound!!

kingkennyd17:
Oga we all have seen that calendar, but the question is are we going to just accept it like that? They didn't even give us a reason.

Don’t mind them bro,the Director General is mad,Nysc is mad,Nigeria is mad infact anyone not worried with that date not officially announced is really mad..

Honestly why is it taking time to announce Pop date for 2018 batch b stream 1,I’m really losing my patience,is this the DG’s fault or what’s holding this?that man is a bad luck indeed!! I’m tired already haa!!!!

Afo1k:

SHARWAMA'S APPROVED VISA TRANSCRIPT.
Date: June 7, 2019
Venue: Lagos Consulate
Time:6:30 a.m
Gender of VO: Male
Window: I Didn't notice, I was blown away by his cuteness and jerry curl
Ok it was the second to last window, before the exit door.
I: (Smiling) Good morning sir
V.O: Good morning, please pass me your passport and your I-20.
I did and he was like "please push your passport a little bit further". I pushed it and asked, "is it okay now sir?"
VO: Yes it is. Why are you going to the US
I: (deep breath + killer smile) To uhm, pursue a masters degree in Biology, Biomedical Science Concentration at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City Tennessee.
V.O: Why this degree?
I: I really want to work as a research scientist at a renowned biomedical research Institute here in Nigeria. Unfortunately, a masters degree in Biology or a closely related field is the minimum requirement for such a position. So this degree would not just help me hone my research skills or build my critical thinking, it would qualify me for the position I really want, when I return.
V.O: So why did you pick this school?
I: (Gesticulating with magical hands) For me, it wasn't just about the generous funding I received, which I am extremely grateful for by the way, it had a lot more to do with the student-faculty relationship I have built with my potential supervisor, professor Burna boy. We Skyped a couple of times and we have chosen a thesis topic I am super excited about.
V.O: What other schools did you apply to?
I: I applied at Texas A&M University, Commerce
VO: uhum(while typing)
I: Cleveland State University Ohio and Kansas State University Manhattan Kansas.
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before?
I: I have not had the need to sir.
VO: Are you married
I: No sir
V.O: You said you have funding, let me see the evidence
I: My school did not give me an official letter but it's on the I-20(I pointed at the document so he looked at it)
V.O: Ok I see $9590 to be payed by someone ,who is this?
I: That's my mum sir
V.O: What does she do?
I: My mum is a business woman, she sells African fabrics and traditional bridal attires
V.O: Yes do you have any proof, I want to see evidence.
I was confused and he mentioned "or bank statement"
I: (Killer smile)Yes, with all pleasure. Just a moment please.
So I got the bank statement
V.O(while looking at the statement) Doesn't your mum have other children to sponsor in school?
I: (I never expected that question, so my English technically failed me, so I looked at him and answered) All of us have finished school, it remainder two of us.
I was so embarrassed about my grammatical blunder but I was glad he understood the point, we were all done with school except two of my siblings.
V.O: Ok, I will be approving your Visa. He hands me the white paper. Talked about pick up in three working days, gave me back my SOA and I-20, asked me to keep it carefully and I would need the latter at the port of entry... Told me to have a wonderful day
I: (Killer smile) Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the day too.
Yup, I bounced out of the building
THE END

Congrats you did it!

sharwama:
Okay that one is easy. At Ikotun you can get very good jackets that will make you look like a marshmallow for as little as #1500
Then in Surulere, they have warehouses where they offload containers. There's one around Shotanwa street dem side, the street is not too far from Sanya bus stop, okada can carry you. They have anti-winter weapons there.
Please let me know if you require additional information

This girl funny die which one be “anti-winter weapon”..u be correct Lagos gurl...gbayiii!!

July 8th is available for those that wants to reschedule..hurry!

Brown2green Bracelum please Check your pm

Brown2Green:
No
You're free to keep trying to reschedule.
If the limit expires, wait for the next 24 hours and voilà! You can start rescheduling again

Ok thanks,what If i previously booked appointment and wants to reschedule to another location?
Is it allowed?

Brown2Green:
Yes
You shouldn't cancel your appointment. That would require you to make a fresh payment.

Does it mean I can’t try to Reschedule when that warning pops up without paying a fresh fee?

Walspring:
Yes you can and after using that life line you won’t be able to reschedule again. I hope that’s clear?

Thanks boss,appreciate

.

Walspring:
It means you are using the only single slot for such purpose and making use of it means you will have exceeded the limit.

Does it mean I can go ahead and reschedule for the last time?

Walspring:
I just posted where and how you can get it.
If you don’t believe then walk into GTBank and pick it up from their customers service table at FOC.
You need that print to enter visa interview gate/hall.

Please can you answer this?
Brown2Green pls When you try to reschedule an appointment,is it normal to see “if you cancel this appointment then you will have exceeded the limit of appointment cancelled”.
Does it mean I can still schedule for the last time? Or if I try to reschedule then I have to pay again?
