I did post from a mobile ,so i am unable to share the whole report.Anyone who can should please do so.

I dont understand all the hype about this Ivorien team.If they are that good,why havent this crop of players won the nations cup?The Nigerian team might not be fantastic but they are still able to battle it out with CIV,i reckon.,Having a talented bunch of individuals differs from having a great team.

Fair enough,but if a country of 160 million people,brimming with fantastic football players cannot raise a decent team,its a sad day in Nigeria

You could ask her to send you an invitation.You dont have to be scared of denials as there are no hard and fast rules.you wanna make sure you dont appear nervous in front of the consular officer as this would surely lead to a denial.just be prepared to answer the questions truthfully and hope for the best

To God be all d glory!

Thats great.Your travel experience did play a major role there plus the fact that you intended to stay for only six days.Some would have said 6 months,and this makes the vo to doubt one's real intentions

manny4life: @topic, the Air force One is simply an amazing aircraft, despite that it takeoff and lands in busy airspace such as Washington DC, you'll never hear that airports were shut down because dignitaries were moving. Although enthusiast such as myself like to capture the those very lovely moment but because the flight itinerary isn't published, makes it hard to video such. Don't forget, the airplane ALWAYS has escorts with the at all times.

No,It doesnt fly with escorts always.Its only in the event of a security threat that F-16s accompany it.for instance,during the 9-11 attacks,the pilot requested for fighter jets.The F-16s can always be scrambled from the nearest airforce base in the event of an attack.Its only the marine one that flies with three helicopters at a time,and that is intended as a decoy.

Total,a rewarding company to work with.Anyways,safety first

A little bit of sarcasm will not hurt,considering the lackluster,apathetic display by the eagles.Boisterous,inventive ,and unplayable,Emenike emerges with his head held high.Yes,the manager deserves some reprimand for leaving his substitutions too late,that proving to be his greatest undoing.

Jarus: Candidly, I'm still not comfortable with a defence without Yobo.

One, in the past, Yobo has saved us in critical situations, which his headers, pushing forward. One, an equalizer; the other, a hard-fought lone goal victory that proved critical. Can't recall again but I think it's against all these Rwandas, Malawis. The guy can score

Two, he may have funbled against Burkina Faso and in a couple of other matches, I still think we cannot discount his experience in big games

Three, leaving our defence in the hands of practically inexperienced Oboabona and Omeruo is risky. For a big game like this for that matter.

With all his experience,Yobo still commits uniforgivable blunders.He does more harm than good for the team.The SE is better off without him.

I love this woman.Unapologetically open,always and all ways!

femi4: Its either "a ten man" or "ten men"

Its ten-man.

Considering the infamous CNN interview,i am not sure GEJ should even consider running for a second term.He actually looked like a fisherman from the creeks in Bayelsa.

otumfour: I don't get this tho, why is Nigeria dreaming of qualifying out this group tho? Cuz if (y'all) qualify(which is impossible) there's tht high chance of meeting Ivory Coast who wud surely embarrass Nigeria....jus think abt it...it's better ur chickens score some own goals to hasting the process of eliminating y'all selves ....#food for thought

Pathetic!

I can bet they earn much more now

Yobo can please take a break from that team.His display was absolutely appalling.In spite of his supposed experience,(though he was literally sacked in England),he continues to falter.he will never become a gargatuan defender,i tell you.calamitous defending has always been his bane.i would expect the Eagles to win,i he is excluded

justwise: If its possible then nobody will be applying for student visa from Nigeria, one will just travel to US with visiting visa then convert to student visa.

Even if the most powerful professor in the world writes the embassy you will still be asked to return to your home country to apply for student visa then re-enter.

.Incorrect.ThE scenario you are trying to paint only happens if you one gets married on a B2 visa.In this case,one departs the US after getting married and applies for a K1 VISA from abroad.In the other scenario,in which a Us citizen spouse files a petition with the USCIS after marriage,you must not leave the US Until your petition is approved or denied.In some cases,an intending student could travel to the US with a B2 visa,bearing a "student intent sign".In this case,the applicant intends to audition in a number of schools before applying to whichever that selects him

Although the legal way to study in the US is to enter on an F1 visa,this can also be done,and PAYLESS has outlined the process.In fact,Several students have done it successfully.The most important thing here is that YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THE DHS THAT YOU DID NOT ENTER WITH A PRE CONCEIVED INTENT TO STUDY,AND YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS AFTER 60 DAYS OF ENTERING THE US.(That is called the 30/60 day rule by the STATE DEPARTMENT).If you attempt to change your status(from b2 to f1) within 60 days,it would be concluded that you had a pre conceived intent to study in the US,leading to the denial of your application and subsequent deportation for VISA FRAUD(immigration officials do not take kindly to this).YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PAY FOR YOUR EDUCATION AS WELL.Its just like getting married on a B2 visa,like some folks do.In this case also,the 30/60 days rule applies .

t4tharyo: @sndrmrtns:
Have been to malaysia once, and ghana like 3times, thats all.
Does my past travell experience counts?

Some consular officers make travel experience a priority while some do not.Its not even included in section 216B.Of course prior travel experience to European countries is a plus.the most important thing is NEVER TO APPEAR DESPERATE FOR A VISA.The vo reads your body language,and if you appear nervous,fretting etc,that would surely lead to a denial.

t4tharyo: Hello house, pls i need someone to help me out.
I will be going on leave in my working place for 3wks starting from 4th of march, I intend going 2 Usa just for 2wks vacation. Am 24yrs, a graduate n working with the state govt for the past 3yrs. I have my employment letter,payslip, bank statement with 1m plus inside, but am still single.
1-Pls do i need an invitation letter for a B2 vacation visa?
2-And with what can i show strong ties to my country?
3-What other documents do i need to make available?
Please i need someone to help me out ASAP. Thanks

Being single is a minus,you gotta to tell the vo that you have a fiance who you intend to marry very soon (FAMILY TIES).you are employed with a good bank balance(Good FINANCIAL ties).If you have valuable assets,try to provide its documentation(ECONOMIC TIES).you have to be very convincing during ur interview.The vo may check documents or not.

kelsababy: Hi guys,pls i need advice,i will like to visit a friend in the US.how do i go about it? I have a good job,but i don,t know is that is enough proof of me returning back to my country.pls advice !!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest,visiting a friend may not be considered a good reason for visa issuance.Being married,having a good job,landed property could swing the Decision in your favour though

The time to acclimate varies in the US,but if one is diligent,'works his socks off' ,and gets certified,professionally,eldorado beckons.

debedebe: hello frnds i need ur help urgently,i av known this 58 yrs old American woman for 13yrs now on Ymessanger we've been chatting dat way far,we r so closed dat we disscuss many family issues 2gether,she knows my family,also i know hers,now i told him all am going thru here in 9ja...

Pls advice me how am i going 2 go abt it...wot shld i do 2 convinced her...and other ways 2 go abt it... Urgent.... Not she is just an average american not dat rich.... Thanks

From your previous replies,it can be inffered that you are angling for a move to the western world.If you wish to live legally in the US,apply for the DV lottery.The minimum requirement is an SSCE CERT.if you are selected,you would surely move to the Us with your family that fiscal year provided you pass an immigrant visa interview.You wanna keep playing until you win.Thats about it

newacca: @All,
my wife wants to apply for U.S visa in Italy. Her status in Italy: International student.
My question: can I send Bank statement of account from a 9ja bank to her over there,to prove sponsorship and financial support for the trip. while she will also have €1500 in her bank acct in Italy by the time she will be applying? I need advice and response from you guyz.Grazie

do you intend to sponsor her?

kazzy78: Is it advisable to stay in the state with b1/b2 visa and how can i convert mine b1/b2 visa status to an immigrant visa in the state. i will appreciate any advise from anyone currently residing in the state.

You are not able to change your status from visitor to a legal immigrant.The only way you can immigrate legally is to play the Dv lottery or if a us sibling/spouse/employer files for you.

Funlady412: I understand this post had been a long time,bt i would like to ask,how much shld i have in my account as the bank statement.

$5000 would do.

An interesting article about president Jonathan, http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/babsajayi/010513.html

PetroDollas: Won't be surprised if it turns out this match was fixed! can anyone tell me how much money was paid for that one goal?that was even a 2nd division club side oooh! some teams go suffa well well for AFCON 2013 no be small.chicken go suffa inside soup.

Abati has lost his credibility.No doubt about that.i
