I swear we are just bunch of noisemakers in this country. Something other nations have achieved 30yrs ago, once we achieve it, we won't let social media space rest. I remember some few years back when some mechanical engineering students of ABU produce a car or so, the way we made noise about it then, you'll think we were the first nation on earth to do it. We no sabi anything for this country, make we no deceive ourselves.

Which programming language we don create? Like seriously, apart from web and mobile apps wetin we sabi again?

If I see the way weh 9ja guys de make noise for twitter about being software engineers ehn, I de look them like mumu

Truly, empty vessel make the loudest noise.
europe and america made cars in 1890s and early 1920s.
Germany made armoured tank for war in 1930s when many africans were naked.

This is over 100 years ago. Yet no Nigerian company fully manufactures car, they just import the parts and use screw driver to knot it together.

Na em people dey rejoice for ABU say them couple car wey oyibo manufacture from scratch over 100 years ago.

I’ll always maintain white race is superior to black race, if you like criticise me for it.

The truth is simple, it doesn't need to much grammar.

Clarify your reason for your choice in course clearly in simple terms. You done it here for us .you even mentioned you're already interning in that field.

Your funding and getting a date is what you need to get correct.
We're rooting for you. Be confident and it will go well.

Don't mind him. Just convincingly explain to the VO how pharmacognosy relates to crop science, the problem your research will solve and postgrad plans.

It's funny how people think first degree subject is restrictive. I've seen one who studied Animal science in undergrad pursue grad studies in biomedical sciences, specialising in genetics and stuff along that line.

Just be confident, you'll conquer.

You're having a problem because even you realize this is an implausible explanation. Pharmacy (humans) to soil science (non-humans) is a 180-degree pivot. It has zero to do with the VOs. You would have been better off going for a masters program in pharmacology.
I am currently working and assaying an array of medicinal plants in the PharmaCognosy laboratory at my school. The department of PharmaCognosy and natural medicine at faculty of pharmacy in University of Uyo is where I currently work as an Intern and assistant to Professor Saviour. It’s just natural to seek a masters in soil and plant science to permanent my work as a junior researcher in medicinal plants.


Pharmacy undergraduate major transition to soil and plant science graduate major is not a common succession, but is not odd/awkward sir.

Have you ever applied for F1?
If not then stop assuming what VOs think

If you got a scholarship for this field then focus on selling why this field is of interest to you. How you passed that course in your pharmacy degree. Connect you pharmacy degree to this degree.
Put it in say 5 short sentences and talk to yourself what you've written.
Short sentences you hear because interviews are short times.

You are over analyzing this and it will come across as you not knowing what you want.

Your main focus should be getting a date in time for school resumption.

The truth is simple, it doesn't
Sorry, what doesn’t?

Hey !

You have developed a natural bias (dislike in quote) for the COs (consular Officers) and i don't want to blame you because every former visa hopefuls whose visa have been denied has fallen into your thinking group 😊

You have not even attended an interview before ( or have you ? ) but in your explanation , you said you are finding it hard to convince the VO that masters in soil and plant science with emphasis on weed and herbicide science is actually related to pharmacy.

You are an outstanding scholar but the devil is using the FEAR OF THE VO to discourage you.

Gaining 100% scholarship admission and Graduate Assistantship in soil and plant science through rigorous interviews is a great feat which not many students can achieve.

Being the best graduating student in PharmaCognosy field in school is another exclusive achievement.

COMMON WAKE UP ! !

Go and attend your interview and tutor the VO the importance of what you are going for . Don't brake the record other people have broken ...brake your own record. You have broken some academically already.

Every VOs is a psychologist and your DS 1 60 furnished with your present academic profiles will place you in the heart of every Consular Officer .

They’ll soon decimate that place with church noises and bands and microphone and shouts of alleluia.

Hey !

Honesty doesn't pay most time . Don't do like the western bred because you are an African .

Naturally a guy bred in the US or UK will tick yes i have been indicted before ...and that doesn't mean that they will say ...Oh ! You have said the truth okay you can go .. No , they would rather place the honest guy on watchful eyes of the cops 😊

In your own case as an African, you were actually did not booked , you were only unlawfully arrested among culprits and later released upon satisfactorily investigated which eventually exonerated you .

Your answer is ..NO ! I have never been arrested or accused of any crime before .

Hello,

I have a bachelor in pharmacy here in Nigeria, obtained 2023.
Pharmacy students in Nigeria undergo training in PharmaCognosy ( field of pharmacy that studies use of medicinal plants in healing and also understudies manufacture and use of chemicals to kill weed encroaching in medicinal plants farm. This is called herbicide use study).

I happen to gain 100% scholarship admission and Graduate assistantship (paid stipends) in soil and plant science through rigorous interviews. The masters in soil and plant science has a specifics in weed science).

I’m finding it hard to convince the visa officer that masters in soil and plant science with emphasis on weed and herbicide science, is actually related to pharmacy. Can that sale ? That I want to become an agroscientist and so a graduate masters in soil and plant science will position me well to become an expat in that field? And if they ask, so why didn’t you obtain an agriculture bachelors ? I want to answer simply because i want to focus on chemical and medicinal aspect of agroscience. Is that convincing?

Hearing a masters in soil and plant science, and looking that I have a bachelor degree in pharmacy seems off for a stranger. And they never have the patience to listen to what you have to say, nor do they want to be convinced by you at times. Once it’s just off to them, every other thing you’re saying is pouring water on stone.

Actually, I prefer this field because as much as chemistry and pharmacology masters are the area of interests for pharmacy graduates, I don’t want to wear lab coat to conduct wet lab researches and sit in labs all day like chemistry and pharmacology masters do, I prefer field work and really enjoyed PharmaCognocy (area of pharmacy related to plants).. i really enjoyed that in my university and came out as best graduating student in PharmaCognosy department, faculty of pharmacy.


Doing wet lab research don tire me. Visa officer might consider an agriculture graduate to be more qualified and will want to start asking what will this degree do for you as a pharmacist? Going for masters in soil and plant science with emphasis in weed science as a pharmacist? (Remember USA are into doctor of pharmacy and not bachelor of pharmacy so their own pharmacy degree has a hospital/clinical focus unlike ours that is still multi-disciplinary).


That question is a tough nut for me to crack, I have a way of answering it but I am discouraged because of how non-understanding they will become once they raise eyebrows about how your masters will impact on your undergraduate or the link.

Like I said I was the best graduating student in PharmaCognosy field in school and want to look at how to solve the problem of herbicide resistance that is gaining ground among weed and pests in medicinal plants farms.

I just need words of encouragement or less? Because these visa officers can be unreasonable? Throwing these large amounts o money around in name of visa interview hoooing, ds-160 for something that looks tricky and discouraging is…. i dunno, off? For a young graduate?

I know him personally, have shaked hands with him and visited him about three occasions at his Ezza road residence in Abakaliki.

He is rich in history of Ebonyi state statehood. Took me as his son. Can’t forget his last words to me when I called him sometime in late June.

“Kenerum mpa gi.”

I answered.

“Kenerum mma gi”.

I answered.

Seemed as though he knew he was saying his last words.

May God accept his soul into heaven and bless him.

Amen.

May God forgive your sins my Mentor, Father and Boss.
