Isobutylene: I was scheduled for the 8a.m interview on Sunday (yesterday) and got to the embassy around 7:05am cos it was a 15 minutes walking distance from my crib, behold I was the first to get there. Security check started at 7:30am before I entered the waiting room. After finger prints were taken I was asked to wait till I'll be called upon for the interview. I began muttering "Thou O Lord shall arise and have mercy upon me for the time to favor me, Yeah the set time has come". After like 10 minutes, I was the first to be called for the interview on counter No. 2.

V.O: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning
V.O: why are you going to the US?
Me: For my PhD Studies
V.O: where?
Me: Told him
V.O: wow!...that's my state
Me: Really?
V.O: Yeah, it's a very good school, you'll enjoy the soccer...blah blah blah
V.O: So, who's gonna pay for your studies?
Me: I'm on a full scholarship
V.O: Really?
Me: Yeah,(so I gave him my offer letter from the department)...he read it
V.O: You mean the university gave you this? (Guess he was surprised at the enormousness of the assistantship)
Me: Yeah
V.O: Can I have your college transcripts?
Me: Sure, here they are....first gave him my BSc transcript, then he later asked for my MS transcript
(He was typing something which I cared less about)
V.O: Are you gonna enroll for any language program
Me: Nope, English is the official language in my country Nigeria and I have passed the English language requirement
V.O: Okay
V.O: Have you ever travelled to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen etc (He asked because I'm presently in a Gulf country)
Me: Nah, Nah, Nah
V.O: Okay, this is your first time of going to the US?
Me: Yeah
V.O: Okay, I will approve your visa and it will be ready in 3 days, go to the back over there and pay for the delivery at the FedEx stand. The cost is an equivalent of 2,700 Naira.
Me: 3 days?
V.O: Yeah, 3 days
Me: Thank you
I was just singing in my heart as I left the Embassy with joy in my soul because now I know that DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

Got this from yahoo news and decided to share with graduates

1. Confusing an Interview with an Interrogation

Most candidates expect to be interrogated. An interrogation occurs when one person asks all the questions and the other gives the answers. An interview is a business conversation in which both people ask and respond to questions. Candidates who expect to be interrogated avoid asking questions, leaving the interviewer in the role of reluctant interrogator.


2. Making a So-Called Weakness Seem Positive

Interviewers frequently ask candidates, "What are your weaknesses?" Conventional interview wisdom dictates that you highlight a weakness like "I'm a perfectionist," and turn it into a positive. Interviewers are not impressed, because they've probably heard the same answer a hundred times. If you are asked this question, highlight a skill that you wish to improve upon and describe what you are doing to enhance your skill in this area. Interviewers don't care what your weaknesses are. They want to see how you handle the question and what your answer indicates about you.


3. Failing to Ask Questions

Every interview concludes with the interviewer asking if you have any questions. The worst thing to say is that you have no questions. Having no questions prepared indicates you are not interested and not prepared. Interviewers are more impressed by the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make. Before each interview, make a list of five questions you will ask. "I think a good question is, ‘Can you tell me about your career?'" says Kent Kirch, director of global recruiting at Deloitte. "Everybody likes to talk about themselves, so you're probably pretty safe asking that question."


4. Researching the Company But Not Yourself

Candidates intellectually prepare by researching the company. Most job seekers do not research themselves by taking inventory of their experience, knowledge and skills. Formulating a list of accomplishments prepares you to immediately respond to any question about your experience. You must be prepared to discuss any part of your background. Creating your talent inventory refreshes your memory and helps you immediately remember experiences you would otherwise have forgotten during the interview.


5. Leaving Your Cellphone On

We may live in a wired, always-available society, but a ringing cellphone is not appropriate for an interview. Turn it off before you enter the company.


6. Waiting for a Call

Time is your enemy after the interview. After you send a thank-you letter to every interviewer, follow up a couple of days later with either a question or additional information. Try to contact the person who can hire you, and assume that everyone you met with has some say in the process. Additional information can be details about your talents, a recent competitor's press release or industry trends. Your intention is to keep everyone's memory of you fresh.

k.I will mail u 2moro.

imperiouxx: But you should be mindful of the outstate tuition you're going to pay with this no GA admission.

Yes I'm aware,its my choice course...bt if I get better offer 4rm †ђξ other sch I will consider Ȋ̝̊̅† too.Thanks bro.

OjaP: You are fine. The embassy does not even know if you have a conditional admission or not, most people I know with a low GRE or lower GPA less than 3.0 get that...not a biggie at all. You will only need to maintain a good GPA in the first two quarters or semesters(as the case may be) after which the condition on your admission would be removed.

And may I even ask why you are not happy about it? You better accept the offer sharp sharp before my oga at the top say they won't give you admission again.

Kpolli: Happy belated birthday - sorry this came late...the same oga at the top kept me busy away from Nairaland.

I just hope my oga at the top on NL too won't ban me for this... TGIF

. Thanks OjaP.... U know I was hoping 2 get a GA only to get a conditional admit.I wil accept Ȋ̝̊̅† cos its curriculum really fit my career goals. Lady yvete...thanks I will work on that.I also applied to other schs.

Gudday people.Quite a while I posted here.The thread is indeed moving on and great things are happening.Bigfrancis and other fall 2013 hopefuls,whatz the update as per admission?.
For me,my choice school offered me a conditional admission for M.sc and am not too happy about it.Reason? They said my GRE score not high enough.
I need the advices of senior members of this thread;imperioux,yvete,ojaP,GboyegaD your advices will shape my decision to accept this offer.What do you guys advice as regard taking a conditional admission to US embassy? Thank all....

segun99: yes ıts the same shorlarshıp guyz

Does it mean one must apply through FSB?

Can anyone pls confirm d authenticity of this website: staffinuae.com

segun99: where dıd you get your information from. confirm these

Is this scholarship same as d one being organised by fed. schorlarship board ?

Richfella: Most of us guys are quick to judge women: "That Ngozi babe is loose, 3 boyfriends in 1 year!". "I still can't believe it, my girlfriend just told me she's slept with 8 guys. Geezuus! She is not wife-material!"

But have we ever stopped to look at the world through their own eyes? The Indians used to say, don't judge a man until you walk a mile in his moccasins (Lol, some funny dude added; so that you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes ).


The average looking girl, in her prime, gets offered sex a million times more than the richest, sexiest dudes ever would. Most good looking girl get chyked and offered sex massively, every single day. It could be very subtle, like when the guy offers to give you a lift in his car, compliments her on her new hair. Or blatant, like when he comes all out and makes his intentions known.

At just 5 chykers a day, that translates to frightening figures like 365 X 5 = 1,825! And then, there's the next year, and the next year and the next year...


Lord knows that if girls chyke me like that on a daily basis, that I will become useless, won't ever go to work again . And Rough Rider, Durex and Gold Circle will all give me a combined Platinum VIP Card .

And to add petrol to fire, these marrafokers come bearing gifts. Bribes. Tempting, hard-to-resist, mouth-watering bribes. Money, phones, clothes, travel, jewellery and comfort - in all it's devilishly disarming forms.



Sincerely, I am yet to meet any guy that can withstand the onslaught of temptation, the barrage of inducement that our girls have to deal with EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yet we feel we are on a moral high-ground and have the right to judge them.

Truth be told, If most of us stood to gain even the smallest of material benefits from having sex, we would all line the streets at night in body-hugging micro clothing!


Our society encourages women to dress sexy & feel sexy but at the same time strongly disapproves of them expressing it to the full. It's really unfair the societal pressure we mount on them to conform to our 'ideal' and repress their most natural desires. Our fellow human beings who possess the same powerful drives that we do.

Is it not the height of hypocrisy. You sleeping with any available living thing that moves. And then turning around to judge women for being picky, showing discipline and resisting temptation.

Maybe she once had a one-night stand, so what? Maybe she once slept with someone for money, so what? Maybe she had 10 boyfriends, e he??

If you look at it closely, we guys are actually the real sluts. The hypocritical sluts. The Sadducees and Pharisees .

Now, if you were a girl, from the bottom of your heart, do you think you could ever be half as good?

Whatz d meaning of these?

Visited ur website and I found out u er based in PH,I reside in lag

After undergoing this training do u provide internship opportunities?

girlyly: i wish to get sponsored for such as pple so believed its a world i belong to not office chick. me likey! we ve got same body rocking......with same astoning pix too

Send me ur pixs,I can help u.

JudismphD: Those who have job will not undestand what it takes to be unemployed. When pple are dressing up 4 work, u are adjusting ur sleeping position. Lol

Na wa 4 u o.when i read ur first line i thought u had gud tin to say sef.lol

ok.nice idea but some unemployed graduates dnt even have d money start any of these. which advice u go give nigerian graduate whe get only 2k for acct

If abacha was alive he would be a pdp member.

why he no like nigeria,no b naija people watch him film pass.

Was Nigeria ever one?I don't think so.

segun99: My man to start with, you only pick 12 choices of university and they choose any for you, you cannot change from one university to another! any one they offer you that where you have to go. And for the bogazici, from my finding its one of the best university in istanbul for now, if not best. For your toefl and sat its a two way thing, depending on u! But i will advise you to wait and write after you have been given the choice of school cuz some school dont require dat, example is marmara university. Sat and toefl result comes out in two weeks, so you can write if required after the choice of school offered to you if required. And for the one year turkish program am not 100percent sure but i know that almost all schools offer language programs, so with this you can read turkish in the same school.
Lastly if you are sent to school you dont like, the only option is to leave the scholarship and look for private school and paywith your money, cuz no change of institution.
I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for ur contributions.Now I want to ask if this turkiye scholarship is d same as d one organised by FSB of Nigeria?

2009,my ex bought me 3 big bottles of groundnut
