arrestdarrester:
My B1 expires soon and I need to have it renewed. I've read up the requirements for Interview Waiver (also called Dropbox if I understand correctly). Just one more thing I need to know for certain: after paying the statutory visa-fee to GTBank and filling out the DS-160, what would I be expected to do thereafter?

wavecase: How long does it take for the medical result to expire.? The expiring date on mine is 3months from the date i recievied it... will i have to do another test b4 travelling?

maikeal: Greeting to you all... I'm happy to hear from you guys and to see that the good work of the thread has not stopped.. Just to add a few info that you guys may need..

1. Pls if you travelling, go to market and get a good,thick jacket that u'll use for your trip especially if you have long stop-overs, and if you are not used to extreme cold like me.. Cos i was almost frozen at morroco and moreover the plane is always cold so if u like urself, better carry one sweet jacket..(i swear,,you will thank me later)

2. It doesnt really matter the bank u are using to pay for ur greencard.. I used Enterprise Bank and it was awesome.. So any bank is good as long as: A. Its mastercard and B. It has been activated for internet banking...

3. When paying ur Greencard fee,the 3-digit number at the back of ur ATM card is ur pin.. Dont even think about using ur normal 4-digits ATM withdrawal pin cos it wont work..

4. At POE i wasnt asked to switch my phone on, my bag wasnt searched at all and i wasnt asked any questions at all... I guess i GOT REALLY LUCKY because i saw the way a lot of people were scruntinized and searched thoroughly,how their foods and valuables were destroyed, how they asked them to switch on their phones and how so many phones and gadjets were destroyed too because they weren't able to turn it on, probably because their batteries died on the way to U.S, so save ur battery, 1 bar wont hurt a fly!

5. According to the newyork 103.5 ktu fm's news i heard that countries that posses the EBOLA disease WILL be barred from entering the U.S until the disease is cured permanently, as a measure to prevent the disease from spreading... The law has NOT yet been pass down or decided yet.. So ur prayers will go a long way for those who aren't yet in the U.S...


I thought it would be nice to say 'hi' after a while now, and i have to confess that i miss you all and that every nerve in my body cant wait to see all of You in the U.S soon ... Adeboy,Armba,Chijen, kaydaddy,lakesideforchrist,jehovahfavour,phazika and all the founding members (i cant remember all your names) HOPE you all have not forgotten me sha?? .. For your sake u berra dont forget me because i still have my KOBOKO.

james809: This is how it works:

1. You give us the details of what you want e.g Depature date and Return Date for Airline Fares. (optional) you can tell us your

preferred airline.

2. We consult our airfare shopping engine to find you the very best travel deals.

3. We compare all airlines - including scheduled and budget carriers - so you always get the best deal. we provide you with

the details and also our recommendation.

4. We book for you always at the lowest price.

(Q) How can we guarantee the cheapest price?

(A) The price we quote is the price on the airline's site. we also provide you an option where you can lock the airline fare

while you consult with other agent or think about it.

NOTE: Unlike Wakanow and other agencies, we will never ask you to pay more after giving you confirmation. however there are times when the prices we quote might have changed due to delay in you making payment or bank

confirmation, if this should happen. we will refund you 100% within 48hours (most times you will get your fund within the 2hours)

YettyOla: Ma, Is It advisable to go and pick up visas today for those interviewed on 22nd. As, I might be leaving Lagos today, and its quite stressful mmaking the journey back?

Do have a nice weekend full of smiles for all your support on here and smiles you putting on our face. Bless

Adeboy007: Pls @All ... Agbeke and hubby will be having their 2nd interview tomorrow 15th, let's remember her in prayer and also Cute2014 and Honest125 on 16th and Adeboy007, Alickic and Turlest on the 17 July ... pls we request for everyone's prayer .. he can only be God

Thank you all

lamjell: Hope am not alone cos i havn't seen anyone posted to ETC CENTRE IKEJA LAGOS. IF DATS UR CENTRE,PLS LETS connect

jaymdee: You have said it all. Other mushroom churches are so scared of they existence that speaking up could mean their outright termination. Even the threat that the guest offering and donation would be cut after such truthful sermon would make them hush...hush puppies with mics...

mo2raur: drop ur mail i 4ward it n then download it

Chanchit: If the retirement policy is true then i'm disappointed in the redeem setup, and if he should retire, where should he go...? That type of position should be held onto till death, jst like a King.... And another thing is to use ur common sense, when this pastors are preaching to us, cos we r all human, jst take what u can take frm their preaching n ignore the rest, jst imagine, pastors rebelling against the head, when they will tell us not to rebel against the gov't, cos they are put there by God..
I don't think i can even attend this big churchs, the G O of my own church is close to 80 and still strong, why should we then retire his annointing....
Ps: I think Adeboye should retire, if that is the rule, before they succeed in killing him..

Goodfield: For those planning to have their masters in Nigeria,which of these top four nigerian universities would you recommend and why?

mo2raur: For district 5 EDUCATION applicant go and check at d district they v pastd names.

ishmael: Let me answer the questions u said i have not answered. Bsc holders like some pple rightly said learn more theory than practical while that of the HND is the reverse. The Bsc guys do theoretical lecturing job while the HND guys instruct students on courses that are applied. (I once lectured as a part time lecturer in Laspotech 10 years ago in the part time school at Ikosi campus in the dept of computer science. I did this with my HND certificate). So, I am talking from experience. For Bursars, they have very strong unions in the uni and poly. In the uni for no technical reason they have barred even HND holders with ICAN from being part of them. Some poly still take HND + ICAN holders to be Bursars. Sometimes these are just obnoxious govt policies enacted by Bsc holders against the HND holders for no just reason; not that the HND holders are not technically fit. This is what we call man's inhumanity to man. Also note that i'm a graduate of a first generation university that is about 50 years of age now, therefore the polytechnic I attended cannot be better than it, even though the poly is one of the biggest & best in nigeria. Finally i want u to agree that poly graduates are as good as uni graduates, and as such should be given opportunities lke the uni graduates especially where technical and applied skills are required. Let's help in creating awareness on this HND/poly thing in our society where we all reside, as this will help solve this age-long perception about polytechnic graduates not being as good as university graduates in nigeria. I'm sorry for using some harsh words in my previous post. No e-fighting again pls.

ishmael: You talk like a local champion, and i don't argue with them. You claim u were a poly student/graduate and at the same time a uni graduate, yet you cannot distinguish btw who a middle-level technical graduate is and a high-level technical graduate. I'm also not suprised that u know nothing about Dr Philipa Idogho, the rector of Auchi Poly. She is also a HND graduate of the same Auchi poly she's heading. Pls this debate is for intelligent people, and not for mediocres. Pls since u're not that intelligent always do a little research before u post anything.

ishmael: Yes bro, i am emotional about this because of the injustice in the system. I am both a poly and uni graduate and i know what i learnt in both schools. I can see that university graduates and employers with uni Degrees have ganged up against the polytechnic graduates just to make them look inferior at all cost. If u feel they are not qualified or good enough give them the same opportunity to sit for the same test with the Bsc graduate and fail to pass; then u can weed them out from there, rather than preventing them from putting what they learnt into use. Honestly if not for the nigerian system there was nt any need for me to have gone to the university to study again, repeating most of the things i had been taught in the polytechnic. Thank God sha.

ishmael: Middle level technical manpower is provided by the ND programme. The HND programme also provide high level technical manpower for the country. At this level it has trained u up to the level of someone with a bachelor's degree and is considered to be an equivalent qualification to the degree by virtue of number of years spent and total credit units taken. Pls take note of the word "technical".

mrmofasa: For those complaining about not receiving texts, i think it's wise for them to check their emails: inbox or spam. I received mine by email.
