What has happened to this section?! It has truly gone to the dogs. No single intellectual Thread. All you people do is fight.

Mugabe's Thugs attacked and hurt the innocent Farmers. The Man in the Video had to take a Loan to buy his Farm. A Loan that took him 20 years to pay!!! At the end, Mugabe's ZANU PF Thugs burnt down his Farm and also beat him, his Wife and his Son. Who beats up an elderly Man?! Savages! Savages! Savages! Savages!

If you still Support Mugabe after watching this, Then you're an INHUMAN BAST@RD!!!

Mugabe is filth.

I can't wait for him to Die. We'll dance till the Sun comes up!

Great Speech from Jonathan. I'm not his biggest Fan, but i'm soooo happy for him. The Cap is finally becoming fitted on the wearers head.

[quote author=A-town]Where are you guys getting all these stats. In this same U.S. Abeg OP, don't be mislead oo. Like I've told you, if your degree is not in engineering, specifically chemical,mechanical, and petroleum, this is not the best time to enter the US job market. You are in an industry that is very volatile at the moment. YOU HAVE A JOB. HOLD ON TO IT.[/quote]Very True. The Physical Sciences and the Engineering Majors are really in Demand right now.

[quote author=A-town]You failed to note one thing. You are a US citizen. He isn't. The greatest regret most people who leave well paid jobs in Nigeria have is that "struggle stage". Some eventually make it and get back on their feet and end up earning 10x more. The majority DON't. You and I know the restrictions involved when you're a foreigner. H-1B visa aint easy to get no more. I have a friend who has been on un-employment for the past 6months. He's in the I.T field. He's a citizen as well so doesn't have to worry about anything except his unemployment checks expiring. On the other hand, if this guy comes over, finishes his course and doesn't get employment, he would have to leave or become illegal. I am not sure someone that is comfortable in Nigeria wants to do such.

No one is saying opportunities exist but this is an "opportunity cost" situation. If he had no job in Nigeria then he'd have nothing to lose.[/quote]You have a Point. I know some companies are very reluctant to get H-1B Visas for their Employees because of all the Cost and Stress involved. The I.T field is not booming as much as it used to. Engineering on the other hand, especially Chemical, Petroleum, Mechanical and Electrical are in high Demand. Like 1forall said, it all depends on what the OP's end-goal is.

This is the Picture.

hotwax: america goes to NATO because of Finance. No country can humiliate america. No country. But I don't support america attacking assad. Alqaida will be enthroned. Assad is better than alqaaeda. With assad, christians are living peacefully. If america tip the scale of balance, alqaeda will waste these christians. We all saw what muslim brotherhood intended to do in Egypt. Now Egyptians have learned that hossnie mubarak is not their enemy. They have released him. Libya too was a western mistake. Alqaed are ruling in Libya and its not good for Africa. That is why they are disturbinng Mali and algeria. Alqaida are becoming powerful. I see alqaeda mobilizing nations to war in the future.

You're so right! The Rebels have Al Qaeda within their Ranks. We don't want what happened to the US embassy in Benghazi to repeat itself. Each decision, whether to attack or not attack has its Pros and Cons.

ohisola: My dear u talk like this because u arnt there. Earn 200k only not even the 300k u claim, + benefits attached to the job, and c if u won't b more confused dan d op.

@ op. Wait do u have d admission yet? + if u get d admission do u have funding? If he ans 2 these questions are yes then u can tak ur chances. Life is a risk.
Neverthless don't 4get. Going abroad is NOT d ultimate. Y not seek God's consel and know his plans 4 ur life, he wil tel u if its d rite time or not.

True. Another Important aspect is funding.

1forall: My submission: Go to the US.

However, be honest and answer to yourself this: What is your motive for wanting to study in the US? Only you can answer that question.

If you see it as a prelude to emigration in the main, then plan for Canada where foreign student immigration is clearly encouraged by the government.

Anyway, whatever turns out, the major determinant of what happens is YOU. What do you really want to do? You ought to know what you really want for yourself to be able to make plans to achieve it.

That said; in my view, there 3 main possible outcomes if you go to the US. One is that you return to your current job with a MSc. If you handle the people aspect of your current job well enough before and after you go, maybe you'll get more responsibility, or a promotion, or a raise immediately you return; or if you're required to prove yourself, after a while. That's won't be too bad a result considering you would have gained the international exposure which I presume you want.

Another possible outcome is that you stay back in the US after your course and have to struggle to find your own footing in career and financial terms. You can persist till you eventually break through, or give up and return to create the first scenario under probably less favorable circumstances.

The third is that you get yourself a good job in good time and start a professional life in the US.

I'd like to believe you would be interested in giving professional life in the US a shot so would advise from that position. An easy mistake for a (foreigner) student to make is to not plan adequately for life after school. Don't fall into that category of foreign students.

Also, a potential challenge is your adaptability. Are you prepared to adjust to the different way of living? Will you react to the adjustment positively or negatively?

Another thing I ought to point out is the generic nature of the course you're proposing to study. It's one issues with many of these 'commercial' MSc courses. Yes it sounds good but it's a bit too broad to present you as absolutely necessary to an employer. If you want to take that chance with jobs, fine, but if not please look for something more specific that will equip you with in-demand skills. Software development is in growing demand (ignore the pessimists), big data is on the rise and cloud explosion is about to begin - you have options! Consider this very important.

However, underpinning all of these is your immigration status. Without the right to work, all the above about working in the US is USELESS. So, you have to give good thought to getting papers. The US is soon going to pass a new immigration law to favor immigrant professionals in Science, Technology Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) fields, thus you might be able to get work authorization under the STEM scheme. However you need to research the requirements so you know what to plan for, and you should start that as soon as possible. Marriage is also an option if that floats your boat.

There are quite a lot of variables as you can see, and charting a way forward should take you back to the first question which you should answer to yourself honestly:

What is your motive for wanting to study in the US?

Good luck!

This post is so on point.

Make sure you plan your next move before you graduate. I know a guy from Cameroon that ended up having a "hellish" experience as a result of Poor Planning.

Dude, just do it!

You're young, so you can take Risks.

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained.

[quote author=Joel.]china is only dancing to the gallery for cheap popularity in the world politics and international scene. russia also. world power my foot. when it happens the chinese will only abandoned assad. the russia aswell are very good in moving noise. who can challenge america? no body.[/quote]True, It's all Politics. China and Russia can't go to War over Syria.

Gullible People. The Picture Obviously belongs to the OP.

LMAO!!! OP did you have to Lie?!

These People will finish you today.

[quote author=*Kails*]of course you wouldn't because you do not believe in God lol.
even when it's been proven that those people knew all about the cosmos prior to European involvement you STILL fail to accept that their knowledge was due to divine intervention and deep rooted spirituality.

and frankly that's not my problem bruv. [/quote]What evidence do you have that shows this?! There are an Infinite number of explanations of how they gained that Knowledge. What evidence shows that the Knowledge came from Spirituality?

[quote author=*Kails*]soo van snickerz...we meet again [/quote]Yup.

The Sun wants your Prayers and Adoration. In fact, Ra the great Sun God has chosen you to be his Son and vessel. You have to die for the Sins of the World. Good luck

Heathen: ?

All Solids are made up of Particles, these particles are Atoms.

The only reason why the Solid appears in solid form to us is because we are much larger than these Atoms. If we were at a microscopic level size, we'll be able to see each constituent Particle that is contained in the Solid.

Ajibam!! Why did you ban my Van Snickers account?

All i did was state my Opinion. Who did i insult?!
