Complete bullocks!

You people think it is everybody in Nigeria that is poor. Some of us can pay for quality healthcare, some of us have comprehensive healthcare packages from our work place...but you know what, we'll pass on that.

The news is littered daily with gross incompetence from Nigerian doctors who have either misdiagnosed or applied wrong treatment regimen in patients leading to deaths and all. Thousands of Nigerians loose their lives yearly to doctors gross incompetence.

The Nigerian doctor is an empty nut head who is more interested in the prestige his Dr tittle accords him/her than getting the job done the right way.

You think your president, lawmakers and wealthy Nigerians who go outside the country for proper healthcare are silly? I won't even go near Nigerian doctors for a simple diagnosis... Incompetent lots

let me tell you this fact. In almost every country, only the best study medicine. So the best set of people studied medicine in Nigeria. The meaning is this....if the best nigeria can produce are incompetent, imagine what you are!!! If nigerian doctors are empty nut heads like you said...imagine what will be on your own head...SAWDUST

alsudaes1:
That's the major point raised by virtually all of them, MONEY!

You really don't understand. The major problem is always money. You need to do CT scan of 45k to properly diagnose a patient they tell you no money. You do your best to stabilise the patient without the test, they will say the treatment was sub standard and the hospital has no equipment. You refer them they will say you rejected them. You use your money and maybe the patient couldn't make it, they won't pay a dime and still fights you. In advanced economies, money is not a problem for the doctor. He needs CT scan he gets it done. He needs surgery he gets it done . So money is the main issue since the doctor is not getting funding in any other place....

NB...and do you by any chance assume this money we are talking about is the profit of the doctor? Oh no. It is essentially to get the patient well. If you have to do what an average doctor does in America to diagnose a stroke, you will spend at least one million. The doctor abroad don't care about this since someone is paying for it. This patient comes in the middle of the night in Nigeria without any money claiming no ATM and somehow expects a magic. The doctor refers...they will say he didn't do first aid. He rejected them.because of money. Do your best with what you have, they won't pay a dime by the morning. They will just say their uncle said they should bring the patient to the village.

oluayebenz:
Nobody can predict embassy especially the US embassy.........

I have seen many cases where genuine applicants were denied while weak profile was granted.

Nobody is a VO here plz, since you have advice the applicant and still wanna ahead, pls let's chill.

We also need to stop saying somebody will be denied 100%, what doesn't work for A might work for B.

Grace might work for him

if we are to rely on luck then this thread is useless. And please, IT IS TRUE THAT MANY GENUINE APPLICANTS ARE DENIED BUT EXTREMELY FEW PEOPLE WITH WEAK PROFILES ARE GRANTED AND IF YOU SEE THEIR TRANSCRIPT YOU MAY UNDERSTAND WHY. It is practically not possible for a jobless person to get a visa to go and greet someone he met online. This is a fact!!! It has nothing to do with God. Yes many genuine applicants can be denied especially when travel history is not that good but FEW PEOPLE, VERY FEW PEOPLE WITH WEAK PROFILES GET IT. A jobless person can get a student visa with sponsorship but never tourist visa. You are jobless and you are going on tourism. Anyway someone already said I was preaching to choir and I think she is right. I wish him best of luck jare. Let us move to something else

Mr100Dollars:
Really?... I hate replying negative comments but let's watch and see.

We don't know you. This is a faceless forum. Do you now assume we are jealous of you because you met the love of your life on the internet? I had a guy working for me even before trump. He met a fellow Jehovah witness online and they fell in love . I told him same thing. He got a letter from the lady. Got a letter from their kingdom hall he would use the opportunity to attend a kingdom hall conference bla bla. I told him not to mention the lady. He didn't hear. He travelled all the way to Abuja saying they had better success rate than Lagos. The moment he mentioned the lady...the VO just concentrated on the relationship and denied him after just 3 questions. In this your case, it is very very certain they will deny you. You are only going for excursion at the Embassy. Don't say we didn't warn. No VO will give you visa. Let me tell you your profile( not meant to demean you) so you can put yourself in the shoes of the VO and see.....YOU HAVE NO WORK, YOU HAVE NO FAMILY, YOU HAVE NO TRAVEL HISTORY COS YOU CANT EVEN AFFORD TO TRAVEL ON YOUR OWN(Not your fault since you have no job), YOU EVEN HAVE NO HOPE OF GETTING A GOOD JOB SOON SINCE YOU HAVE NO EDUCATION ( YOU DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL), YOU MET A LADY ONLINE( WHEN NIGERIANS ARE KNOWN ONLINE SCAMMERS), YOU HAVE NEVER MET, YOU JUST WANT TO VISIT HER FOR TWO WEEKS AND COME( TO COME AND DO WHAT?) Why will you come back? So you think the VO will somehow become blind or deaf to all these qualities and then grant you the visa because a citizen invited you? He may even feel obligated to protect the citizen from you....since Nigerians are well documented online scammers using love to defraud American. Build a better profile for your future than wasting money on a visa you will most likely be denied of. You should have told the lady you want to go back to school since she want to sponsor you. Get admitted to an easy country in Europe and go and study first. It makes more sense

Spanishmilf:
This is dumb

He is actually right. The guy will be denied 100percent. Unless he changes the story to something else.

Spanishmilf:
Vo won't consider him asper say na givernor dey sponsor dem.... Because for consular to deny some apc memeber and pdp member visa....... He is just like a normal applicants.... and this trump era is something else

Actually it depends. If he is included as part of protocol officers....it means he will have a role in the trip. You know as a governor, you will be expected to have protocol officers in charge of different things for the trip to be meaningful so if the governor is including him as part of the protocol ..he will likely get a visa . Nothing is hundred percent . Even a governor can be denied entry not to talk of his entourage but all things being equal...he stands a good chance

Yusuf1743:
Pls my question is this.... Someone without travelling experience and once denied us visa in 2years ago. Now the person has an opportunity of travelling with a deputy governor as one of the entourage. Sponsored by state government does this person as stand a chance of been denied ? 2. Won't there be any interview for the those people the state government choose as entourage? 3. Is there any possibility that the passport can be stamped and returned to them without appearing at the embassy for interview as its from the goverment?.


Any body with knowledge pls


Thanks

A friend of mine packaged a trip for members of House of assembly of a state more than 2yrs ago. He actually approached Howard university and got a one week training course booked for members. He took all of them to the embassy. He had a previous denial from USA embassy but had an unused Tanzanian visa. They were all granted the visa without much ado. He had the approval of the governor with an upfront of 15million paid. Unfortunately, after the visa approval, he didn't know when the balance payment was approved. Some excos connived with the clerk and they got about 50million approved and members shared the money rather than going on the said trip. By the time he discovered, he petitioned the EFCC and members were taken all the way to Abuja but I told him he was wasting his money, he didn't believe. Unfortunately, he had spent the bulk of the 15million organising the trip cos he paid Howard some commitment fee and used the remaining to settle some people that facilitated the contract so the balance could come out. The bottom line is that the visa almost expired in his hand as he no.longer had money to finance only himself self. I actually don't know how he got the contract....he was just lucky and persistent. He later travelled few months before the expiration of the visa. Needless to say when it was time to renew the visa, he was roundly denied. Back to square one. And many of those members of the house are no longer in the parliament so the case with EFCC is dead. Very true life story. What am I saying self? Yes...you stand a good chance as an entourage of the governor

Matjekdar:
Guru in the house pls I need your advice I have applied for US visiting visa and got denied (3 times with the same process) then I was a student in the university cos a friend of mine in the US advise me to apply claiming that am coming to visit my aunty who is a US citizen.He sent an invitation mail to me which is said to be from my "aunty".The interviewer asked me why am I going to the US which I explained,the interviewer asked again what do I do I said am a student,the interviewer asked again who will sponsor me I said my dad.to cut the long story short I was denied three times with the same process.Now am married with kids(2) and want to reapply as family visa how will I make everything tally with my previous record without any problem.

just make sure you now have good travel history. There is no short cut to USA visa for you after 3 denials. So, have good family travel history and reapply. Best of luck

Stiflersammy:
Is it that worse that someone single can't go for visitation without job or travel history and had a sponsor. This visa things is getting worse each day.

Even you that is not a VO knows the guy is not going on any visitation. Of course he is planning to run away instead of looking for jobs. If it is that easy, you think anybody will remain in nigeria after youth service?

Spanishmilf:
i really wish VO can spend time like this with applicant.................
They dont spend 1min w8th applicant anymore... And he didn't reveal alot of info here probably because of security purpose.. Let see how it will turn out for him
E go be

Oh no!!! A simple No as answer to any of the important questions will get him a straightforward denial. For example, if the VO ask what kind of business and he answers and the business has nothing to do with work. He then ask him, who is sponsoring and he says my employer, he will just end the interview at that point. I was only trying to explain and not saying the VO will ask him all those questions. Like the other guy said, none of us is VO. We are only guiding based on what has been happening at the Embassy during interviews.

NB same way if the VO ask him how long has he been working there and he says 6months and then you say your employer is sponsoring you. He will just end it unless you have extensive travel history to Western countries prior to starting the job.These are just guides. Anyone can get the visa. It is not an interview for a software engineer that requires technical knowledge so even a jobless hairdresser can get it but don't count on it...it only happens once in a while

Spanishmilf:
what if dem give him d visa??
Because i see nothing wrong his writeup

like the guy rightly said, there is no VO on nairaland so they can give anybody visa but on a balance of probability his question line won't follow that route. As you can see, he is hiding a whole lot of details that the VO will be looking out for. First, he said he is going for business and tourism. You think the VO will just pretend he didn't hear the business aspect of it? Not likely. So the VO will ask him, what kind of business and unless we know his answer to that question, we may not know his chances. Moreso, the VO won't likely ask him wether he has been to USA in the last five years cos the VO will know already. He will only ask him wether he has travelled to other countries before which may or may not be on the present passport. Also the moment he says he is not travelling with his wife and kid, he will like to know why they are not travelling with him unless we know that the business can't accommodate family frivolity. Moreso, why is the employer sponsoring this? Is the business related to work? What value will the business bring to the company to warrant the company sponsoring him to the almighty America. Finally, has he spent more than one year or two years in that work place? Of course most employers won't send you to America after working for them for just one year and even if it is true, the VO will doubt it. And the VO may ask for your salary because if it is not significant, you can easily deceive your employer and not return. By and large, the question line he provided is not likely. But nobody can determine the outcome of his interview from here

Spanishmilf:
this thread is in page 145 today....... And have been following it back to back have neither come across any insult nor any abusive words from a nairlander even tho some ask.... annoying question we just ignore them..... If quora or reedit has been allowing their users use insultive comment on OP i believe it will won't be as big and famous as it is today.... You can just ignore d dude or don't quote him at all why call him stupid imagine calling someone father probably a grown ass man stupid and u might be a weakling teen..... If seyewest, omobendele or beautydaddy has been using abusive words on some annoying questions i don't really think this thread will ever reach page 20......... Watch your languages if you are annoyed by some questions asked here go to another thread or go F U C K yaself

Lol. You know you eventually did exactly what you reprimanded the guy for doing. You actually asked him to FU.C.k himself. That is not a compliment

Mancala:
You do have some rights when you apply for a visa because it is akin to a contractual process. I am saying those rights should include (if not already implied) a fair adjudication process. A process that is evidently fair to all. In practical terms, this is called abiding by not only the letter of the rules governing the process but also the spirit if the rules.

The only right you have when you apply for a visa is the right to get a decision. Since you paid for it, they must give you a decision. So the moment they deny you the visa, they have fulfilled their contractual part of the process. They owe you a decision. How they arrive at that decision is non of our business

NB- something funny happened recently. A guy got stranded on a bad road cos of the rain. When he got the front gate of house he used to have a lady friend, he decided to go in and ask her if he could park the car around. The GATE WAS NOT LOCKED. So he pushed the gate open and was instantly faced with two giant fighter dogs who were not chained. They belonged to the landlord. They seriously battered him. When he got to the clinic, the landlord told him he won't be responsible for the entire bill cos the dog was not a stray dog and the guy didn't knock. The argument of the guy was that they should have locked the gate. The man said....did that dog bite you within or outside the compound? The man said he didn't invite him and it is non of his business wether he locked his gate or not. This story may not be related with what we are saying but the only lesson there is this....YOU CANT DICTATE TO THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HOW HE SHOULD SCREEN HIS VISITORS. If you don't want to be bitten by a dog or you don't want to waste money applying for a visa, stay clear of the embassy.

Mancala:
You speak some truths but not the whole truth. The choice to apply and pay is voluntary, but when you pay, guess what? You have entered into a contract to be provided the services you paid for. There is no guarantee of the issuance of a visa, but we should be guaranteed a fair and transparent process of adjudication which to me does not exist today. The process should not only be fair, but should also appear to be fair to all involved... values espoused by American system.

"Its not possible for them to do the thorough check you're asking for given the thousands of Nigerians who apply for visa interviews daily. If they were to do that, they would be unable to interview anymore than a fraction of the number of people they interview today"
This is far from the truth. Case in point; India is in a similar situation like Nigeria. They interview significantly more people at the consulate on a daily basis especially in the summer months. They know how to do this!

This is not immigration visa. This is clearly a non immigration visa. After doing a thorough check, they are still under no obligation to give you visa because you are a visitor so what do you mean by thorough check? You make it sound like after the thorough check, they are under obligation to give you visa. Not true. So the thorough check is for their advantage and not for your advantage so if anybody is losing by not doing a thorough check, it is not you but themselves since they are under no obligation to grant you entrance. Since we all know this abinitio, you can't say you entered into a contract so they must do a thorough check according to your own standard. Think about it this way. Some houses have gateman, some don't have. If you get to the house with gateman, the gateman may refuse you entrance . You can't complain that why do they have gateman and you can't also blame those without gateman
It is non of your business. So, if USA says they only need 2minutes interview to screen those who will enter their country, it is non of our business. After all, you are only going on a visit. Is it by force to visit? You can't possibly compare it with services. If I pay you to serve me food in a restaurant, you must serve me else I complain. But if I pay you for visa especially a visit visa, I can't complain however you choose to screen your visitor. It is at your discretion cos you and only you bears the consequences. If you allow thieves into your house, you bear the consequences alone .

EXLOVER:
Must it be Last two to four years?

you must have met at least once in the last two years

EXLOVER:
thanks bro.

I'm still going to be optimistic it. She's gonna send the invite next week.

I'm hope to share my testimony here and also share tips here on how to go about it.

Bros, don't waste your money. Unless you plan to use a different story, you got a straightforward denial. No two way about it. You are definitely going to waste your money. However, you can get a K1 visa. Your fiancée should know about that. However, if you want to use B1/B2 to visit a so called older fiancee from Nigeria, don't bother. They will deny you.
NB...Let us explain it to you. This visa is meant for visiting. If you call her your fiancee, then you intend to marry. If you are granted the visa, the chances are, once you get there, you can decide to go ahead and marry and not return. So no VO will take that chances with a Nigerian. However, K1 visa is a fiancee visa. Infact, the VO will ask you to apply for fiancee visa. But to be able to do that....1) she must be a citizen 2) must be free to marry 3) you must have met physically in the last two years 4) she must have good income above a specific threshold 5) you must be ready to marry within 90days of arrival.
So, if it is important that you see your fiancée, she will visit you first then file for K1 visa when you are ready to marry. You can however get b1/B2 by not mentioning your fiancée at the interview for a different purpose.

Shhhh01:
i cannot believe u just said that? why would a mother bring a well child to d hospital at d first place? it is impossible for a mother to bring her child to hospital knowing fully well that the child is fine. hospital being a very busy place is not an excuse o. And how can they focus on those who need help without doing tests first? haba?

I can only laugh at your ignorance. How can they know who needs help without doing test first. You actually cracked me up. Honestly, what do you think doctors spent 7yrs learning in school and another 7yrs doing residency? Yes a mother can bring a baby that just need paracetamol to the hospital. We are not blaming her. But she must understand that the doctor will attend to those with convulsions first even if she had spent 3hrs there before they brought the one with convulsion. And hospital being a busy place is not an excuse.....but that is not the fault of the doctor. You think he must die because he want to attend to you? He will only do his own and leave the rest.

phemy36:
I do visit her time to time and the report I got from her patient, staff and even the director which is a family friend makes me happy about her. I respect those who leave up to their oath

So your wife is living up to her oath while others are not. Can you see yourself? So quick to defend their own and so fast to judge others. You didn't even hear from the doctor you condemned him but when it got to your wife, she is an angel. Out of all the so called wicked nurses in the whole world, coincidentally your wife happened to be among the few that are angels. Clap for yourself . Just imagine how you will feel if that same wife of yours is the one accused in this video...you will be running around to defend while instantly condemning others. Learn to listen to the other side of the story

phemy36:
I don't envy you as a doctor. There are many wonderful doctors outside there that take human life as their priority. My wife is also a nurse and i know how she related with patient. Your pride will destroy you one day

Ask her doctor to honestly tell you how many patients reports her in a day...you will be shocked! You assumed your wife relates well to patient without even working with her. You are funny. Ask her....she will tell you

phemy36:
May such befall you for always supporting evil. So shall it be in Jesus name i pray. Amen

You guys need to calm down. You only heard from the woman and then the doctor must be evil. How are you different from people burning thieves on the street? This is jungle justice. Did you watch the video? Why are other doctors, nurses etc not attending to the woman? If her daughter is sick, the next thing she will be doing is to carry phone and be looking for trouble on social media? Was she not supposed to look for a superior first etc? Was she sounding like someone whose child was really sick or someone who just wanted to start trouble? Calm down....

Surulereman:
In other words, the doctor has the right to disrespect or refuse to abide by his Hippocratic Oath? Is he being forced to do the work he was employed to do? Even if he's on a Charity mission? Anyway, I don't blame you. This is Nigeria!

There is nothing Nigerian about this. Doctors have a right to refuse a patient as long as the patient is referred to someone else . You can't tell me that doctor is the only doctor in the whole general hospital. So why are others not attending to her? If after the fight the doctor attended to the baby and the baby dies and the woman start another round of accusation that the doctor killed her baby because they had an argument nko? You guys just assumed doctors are super human and don't have any right at all.

TEXAS79:
PLEASE LOOK FOR THE PERSON BLOCKING YOU FROM GETTING VISA,I HAD A GOOD JOB AS A PHARMACIST IN NIGERIA SO WHAT GOOD JOB ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD TELL THE TRUTH AT THE EMBASSY AND BEND DOWN TO PRAY BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW,IT IS GOD THAT GIVES NOT YOUR GOOD JOB NOR YOUR INTENTIONS,PLEASE HOLD YOUR PEACE,I AM LEGALLY LIVING HERE WITH MY FAMILY.

oga swerve. I am a consultant family physician. That should be enough for your rant. You went ahead to give nigeria a bad name and you are glorifying it on the internet and you have gut to say you had a good job as a pharmacist. How much was your salary self? Is it not my field? You think everyone is illegally minded like you? Just delete your so called transcript. It is not helping anybody. Congrats for living legally with your family. Nigerians will fraudulently get a visa and attribute it to God. So God told you to tell lies you will come back after getting the visa and then you ran away. If your own God is powerful, why can't you tell them you won't come back which is the truth that God desires. You lied and it is God and you now wonder why nigeria is bad

seyewest:
You like wahala, they will tell you to shut up... all way na way...

lol. Never mind me jare

Beautyaddy:
haha!...You're right. However, those Nigerians that keep complaining of being denied US visa because other Nigerians has been found abusing the visiting visa when given should just get over it and move on with applying to other Countries to visit if indeed their real purpose to the US was just to visit and nothing else.


Do we know how many people from Countries with visa-free access to the US also abuse their visits? They are in thousands too...but you don't see the US embassy stopping other people from those same Countries visa-free access to the US.

You seem to assume nigerians only abuse visas to USA. NO,!!! We abuse visa to every country including African country. So even if you apply to other countries they still deny genuine travellers too . And the percentage of people from visa free countries abusing their visas is very very minute otherwise they will stop it with immediate effect. Despite the fact that USA has a visa free pact with European Union, they still require visas from Cyprus and Bulgaria who are members despite repeated protest from EU. And even though it is visa free...you still need to apply online for ETA so they the number of people entering and the numbers going out. Let us stop this idea of nigeria is bad so we must do something illegal in another man's country. Migrate legally. Go to school. Get post study visa. Do something legal for the sake of others coming behind so the world won't quarantine us more than this

emily111:
Make I no just talk. Because if you go out there and say this to youth bro no be you go waka leave there. Can a Nigerian earning 30k buy a bag of rice. From 30k he will feed and eat and want to cloth and still want to give is parents also want plan on taking apartment.

Was listening to a radio program where they ask people to call in that If they see a job of 80k and a visa which one will they go for.

Just imagine a lot rejected the job offer and go for visa. A man said a job he will take and later be sacked. Which is true.

See is too early to they reason situations in Nigeria.

Seriously...do you know the reason why they don't have opportunity of getting that visa is this same attitude of yours. That is why it is difficult in the first instance to get visa. So, if common south Africa deny Nigerians visa tommorrow you will start shouting xenophobia yet they gave you visa, you abused it and still defend the abuse on social media. Of course you are in America now but don't complain when your family member want to pay a visit and they deny them and then you start shouting that they are just collecting visa money without giving the visa

TEXAS79:
hey guys,its been a long while i visited here since i got to the u.s,i haven't come to share my experience of my interview at the Abuja u.s embassy in 2017 june,i want to appreciate God and everyone that had posted their experiences here which also helped me,i learnt most especially to be calm and composed and it really worked for me.below is my interview....

Me: good morning (NO RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE GUY WHO HAD REFUSED EVERY ONE THAT WENT BEFORE ME).
VO: YOUR PASSPORT PLEASE
Me: I HANDED HIM MY PASSPORT.
VO: what are you going to the us for?
Me: JUST FOR VISIT
VO: WHERE DO YOU WORK?
Me: XYZ PHARMACEUTICAL LTD
VO: FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN YOUR FRIEND THAT"S INVITING YOU?

Me:CURATIVE
VO: HOW MANY KIDS DO U SAY U HAVE AGAIN?
Me: 2KIDS
VO: HANDED A WHITE PAPER OVER TO ME AND SAID HERE IS INFORMATION ON HOW TO PICK UP YOUR VISA

You guys are just blocking the chance of future genuine travellers. One will now keep wondering why the embassy keeps denying people with good jobs. It is because people like you have abused the visas and you come online to share it . You think embassy officials are not on this forum? Not fair really

Ugommma:
thanks..will have to build up more I think my monthly income of 200k won’t be enough to convince them even though am being sponsored

If traveling is your dream, you have to invest on it like a project. Before the new Zealand training, go to South Africa or even Dubai like someone suggested. New Zealand will allow you to apply online and then you send your passport to South Africa. Those ones too expect you to have travel history to countries around first. New Zealand is far away from everyone so they suspect any Nigerian going there for things apart from studies. They have a high denial rate for tourist visas from Nigeria. However, they will give you a lengthy reason for denying you so you will know his thinking and they will expect you to upload your bank account online so start building your bank account. For A list countries....Nigerians have spoilt our reputation by abusing visas so you must individually prove yourself to be reliable through travel history and build account. If it is student visas, you have higher success rates without travel history

Ugommma:
the have business and can’t leave it .... and my business is still fresh

i think people visiting this thread should understand that even if your intention is your genuine, there is no way the VISA officer will know. All these explanation we are doing is just to let us guess the thinking of the officer not that you will have time to explain anything to them in DETAILS. Even if you answer questions they didn't ask you, it makes you more susceptible to denial. So all your explanations is valid but the visa officer won't ask you all these questions and your interview will be over as soon as it starts
Your interview will go like
After initial pleasantries....
You are visiting a friend....Yes
How long have you known him
Who is sponsoring your trip
Why are you visiting?
Are you married?
Have you travelled out of the country before?

Something similar to this and a quick no to the last two questions end the interview believe me

Ugommma:
Hello friends, I need help please, if i want to visit the US and is been sponsored by a friend In US who is a citizen, please what are the steps to take andand will my no travel history Nd being single be a barrier?.

Leave USA alone for now. Think about it? Why would a visa officer want to give you a visit visa to the USA at this time that visa approval success rate is very low. No travel history. You can't even afford the cost of travel...a friend is sponsoring. Why would your friend sponsor your vacation to USA? And you are single? So why won't you run away? Even if it is not America, few embassies will approve visa for someone claiming a friend is sponsoring their holiday trip. If it is student visa it even makes sense but for visiting...Na almost automatic denial. It obviously means you don't even have a real job and the next thing is to go on a visit. Sorry if my language is a bit hard but the reality is you stand no chance but I know some guys here will say na lie. Go try your luck. In that case, I agree with them and wish you best of luck in contributing your visa money to American economy.
NOTE...you have added more information about aromatherapy. Why can't your friend come to Nigeria and train you about aromatherapy? If you have a business you are running why can't you sponsor your own trip? Please note, YOU WONT HAVR TIME TO DO ALL THESE EXPLANATIONS DURING INTERVIEW. The officer will only ask you generic questions like
Are u married
Have you travelled before
Who is sponsoring your trip

And after just these three questions...you are denied without further explanation so don't assume you will have time to start explaining why it is your friend sponsoring the trip

.

Enick:
I agree that UK/Canada seems to have the best system and the US have to embrace the same practice. While document can be frauded as claimed by US officials, the advent of technology and thirty party agreement has made it difficult for applicants to fake bank statements. This implies that you are almost certain not to be issued a visa if your account lacks sufficient fund and any indication that you may have lodge some money for the application process. Salary payment into a verifiable account shown that such applicant works with the company and earn salaries.

With the US system, professional liers/trained actors can easily convince the VO to get his or her visa approved with zero account balance and little or no home ties because the questions are generic. multiple times?

90 Percent of people getting US non immigrant visa have travel history to UK and other places where they check documents. Very few get it without travel history so they are just allowing other embassies to do the checking for them. Why check documents again when UK and Schengen states have checked them for you
