Ymodulus I must say you are good. I have a good electronic store and would like you to take me on a 4 hours class( I learn very fast). I went to various online seminars and found out they are just recycling what they have been taught. You are in the field. Please this is a 1 on 1 class and I'm seriously interested in importation of tablets, mini laptops and papers. Let's talk. I'm in PH but don't mind coming to Lagos if the deal is sealed.

Good Work @fatai2. Your post is coming just at the right time for me. It has taken more than2 years since my last post. Has just been a Guest observing.
Please my company(which I solely own) wants to move massively into Tablets and mini Laptops. I marketed it for a friend last year and surprisingly customers like the products and we didn't have any returned till date. So I have been making research as to the best way of bringing 60-100 Tableats and 40-80 Mini Laptop per month. I know alibaba looks better to order than aliexpress and I always have other branded Laptop product to sell so I can patiently wait. Please what the best (budget friendly) procedure for this transaction and bringing the product to Port Harcourt.
Travel / Re: Red Alert! American Embassy Abuja, Keep Away From The Asian Lady. by embsyNEWS: 9:40am On Jul 02, 2011
Finally had the time to pick my passport at the collection center yesterday. The lady gave us 1year multiple. My husband was right "God is surely greater than any human". Yes but you have to prepare too!
Travel / Re: Red Alert! American Embassy Abuja, Keep Away From The Asian Lady. by embsyNEWS: 7:41pm On Jun 18, 2011
Like I said I’m not launching a vendetta on her. She gave us the visa. When you go for an interview always remember
Brevity: Go straight to the point when answering their questions.
Do not be presumptuous: Don’t give out any document(s) or say what you weren’t asked (they usually will pick on it)
Be confident, bring the right (original) documents and at least afford a smile.
I have never being denied before because at the American embassy (which it’s different from UK); it’s all about how you present and defend yourself.
Now look at our case.
We travel to the UK and US once a year on vacation. During these times we do the routine health checkup, last year my husband had to undergo a surgery. The last thing you’ll ever do in the US is get a service and not pay for it. I mean not pay to the last dime. If after months of notifying you and they get no reply, it is forwarded to the right government agency that will tract down your records to your last entry into the US. That is a major problem for you in getting a visa renewal.
So I’m no novice to interviews, presentations and collating my documents right.
The lady demanded she wants to see all receipts showing we have paid the hospital fees, to me this was just way out of her line of questions she was previously asking. Well we came prepared. We passed the receipts across.
Asian woman: “I don’t believe this shows all the bills were paid”
We: passed a detailed 23 pages invoice breakdown from the hospital titled “Your Executive zero balance account” (showing we were not owing the hospital neither was the hospital owing us, simple and clear).
Asian Woman: “Do you have a letter from the hospital showing none of the bills was ever submitted to our government for our tax payers to pay?”
What is there to understand from ‘YOUR ZERO BALANCE ACCOUNT’
My husband: “As an international patient the operation cannot kickoff without getting all prepaid cost transferred to their account”
Asian woman: “well this is our procedure, I’m still not convinced”.
We: “then call the hospital or send them a mail for confirmation.”
Asian woman: “you can see the queue is long (oh now you know!)”
She handed us the rejection paper. My husband then said: “you can’t reject us with this wealth of evidence we have put before you, if all you want is a specific document where the hospital will state ‘they are not owing us and we never pushed their bills to the government’(which sound so ridiculous) then will you give us; because for one particular thing, I HAVE TO SEE MY DOCTOR FOR AN IMPORTANT CHECKUP’.
Asian woman: Well ok come back with the rejection letter, I am giving you 24hours to produce the letter.
She gave us a letter to appear at the embassy the following day by 10am.
Well we called the hospital related the ordeal and made our request. They found it rather absurd, but did the letter, sent it to the American consular and copied us too.
We got back the next day and waited for a family who were having their turn of interrogation and later denied after the applicant started sobbing “madam we have paid all our bills how many times have I been to the US that I don’t know the rules”. I told myself “not on this Nigerian soil will you humiliated me to the point of crying today”.
Asian woman: “Next… so did you bring the documents?”
We pushed the letter to her.
Asian woman: “where did you get it from?”
My husband: “As you can see it was actually sent to your official mail and copied to us so you can check”
She went to the computer and just busted into deep laughter, really she was laughing hard.
Asian woman: “Ok Mr. …. I’ll issue you a visa, but am noting here you and your wife can not seek any medical service in the US again. So for your own good I’ll suggest you keep clear from any American Hospital”.
Cut the brown card, gave it to us and we have an audience almost shaking our hands when leaving.
Well we are taking the “keep clear from any American Hospital” case up with her. W.H.O. constitution states that its objective "is the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health."
All I am saying is: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO HER WINDOW AND PATIENTLY WAIT FOR ONE THAT WILL AT LEAST GIVE YOU A FAIR HEARING, YES YOU HAVE THE RIGHT!

Travel / Red Alert! American Embassy Abuja, Keep Away From The Asian Lady. by embsyNEWS: 9:32am On Jun 17, 2011
Please if anybody is going for an interview at the American embassy Abuja. There is a sadist who does not even look and sound American, but surprisingly is an interviewer. She is of Asian origin.
Now this is the word: if you love yourself and your family DO NOT GO TO HER WINDOW when she presses the buzzer for the next person, SHE DOES NOT GIVE! She takes about 30-45 minutes (believe me, you can verify from those who have gone to Abuja this year) to interview a person.
During this time she dehumanize you emotionally until you almost start telling her 'I killed my mother', she picks on anything, just anything to get you out.
My Husband and I have been regular flyer to the USA for 12years and we have 5 years UK visas, we were at the embassy with nothing to worry about, just the formalities and then they issue us a renewal.
While sitting there waiting for our turn, we saw the torture from her.
Elderly women, frequent flyers, professors, clergymen (those ones where the worst, even insulted their religion). We were looking 'is this for real, don't they have camera around to see and hear what this woman is doing and saying?' not even one person, while other interviewers where just dishing out the visas if you have the right documents.
We were the only person she gave amongst just 13 people she managed to interview that day, she didn't still give us the visa that day, told us to come back within 24 hours with more evidence after my husband told her he will litigate if she cannot tell the reason why she is refusing us (she had already handed the refusal letter to us), she now said 'ok I have been making mistakes today and I don't want you to be a victim, bring more evidence’ . Lady we brought a whole suitcase. So you know you have been making ‘MISTAKES’ whoa!
Everyone knows her, from the securities there, to the pickup drivers to tour agents, you name it. The next day we went was no difference.
Well while waiting for out turn prior to our first interview, the guy just before us made a smart move. He just stood up and went to the toilet. We should have done the same, because after us others made excuses to the toilet.
I hope this alert gets to the front-page many families, professionals, school kids have been her victim (Rejection without a reason). YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO HER WINDOW AND PATIENTLY WAIT FOR ONE THAT WILL AT LEAST GIVE YOU A FAIR HEARING, YES YOU HAVE THE RIGHT!
If you have experienced her torturing applicants or have been a victim, please feel free to share your experience. It will go a long way to help.
