The unknown gospel 'star' that got married...

Beautiful mum=handsome son

By WOLE SOYINKA......

The Ibos want Biafra
The North wants Ibo's exit
The Yorubas want Ibo's exit
The Ibos are saying "we have investments in your areas and cannot leave them"
And the fight is being cooked.
Amongst all these, the President is in London
Governors are sharing bailout funds
Workers salaries are not paid
Government officials have their children schooling abroad
Ministers and senators are looting
The poor Hausa man is riding Okada
The poor Ibo man is riding Okada
The poor Yoruba man is riding Okada
The poor Hausa man sleeps under the bridge as Alamajiri
The poor Yoruba man sleeps under the bridge as Alaye
The poor Ibo man sleeps under the bridge as agbero
It is pertinent to note that the poor from all ethnic groups in Nigeria have everything in common and so is the rich.
Do not allow the agitation of an Ibo man who lives in UK or USA for Biafra cause the killing of the Ibo man in Adamawa. The rich hate us that much.
Do not allow the Alhaji whose children are living abroad to persuade you to go and start killing on the street of Kaduna.
The problem in the country is not the agitation of any ethnic group but the unity of the elite and the disunity of the masses.
How many times have you taken your agitation to question your local government Chairmen?
Why have you not asked your Governors through agitation how they spent bailout fund?
Why have you not agitated against that government official whose mansions you go to beg for help?
Sad to note;
All the Governors love themselves
All the past Presidents love themselves
All the senators love themselves
All the top government officials love themselves
All the looters love themselves
Why can't you and I love ourselves?
Why cant we combine efforts and fight them?
Why do we fight ourselves?
Why do we allow them the freedom we don't have?
Remember; a good Nigeria is better than a good Arewa, Oduduwa or Biafra.

OmoBendel24:
Genuinely, if you had gone to just that page 0 and seen just the first post on it, you would have gotten your answers. No you won't, preach love sir (even when you are full of bile and ingratitude), go ahead. Will just let @ the bolded slide! Enjoy....

Well whatever. I've gone through your profile, and just like a picture it's worth a thousands words. So no use. Take care Oshare.

OmoBendel24:
Someone did, there is.... Search for it, start from page 0!

Hmm, a lot has changed here, or it's just so different here. Way back in the DV section, so much love there. Thank you OmonBendel or whatever the name is.

@kevweflex

This is not student visa thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/2991174/u.s-student-visa-f1-m1

Clearly. But I intentionally have that question for the Visa Officer as student visa is also NIV. You shouldn't have deleted the post. It's not derailing.

seyewest:
You can do that... it won't take you up to 3 days to compile.

Alright. I thought someone gracefully did it here. Thank you. Hopefully someone has.

Hello all. Does anyone has a compilation of transcripts we have in here? I will be very grateful if there is.

.

eph12: Hello kevweflex, please read the intro that you didn't bother to read so you understand the purpose of this thread. Also take a glance at the topic too. However if you still do not understand or still have questions, we will try our best to point you in the right direction. Thanks.

Plus the intro minus the intro, at least I was able to establish that I am aware of the cost. Why can't the answer be given as to if I can get the goods on my doorstep by Sunday?

Hello. I did not bother to read all the intro from the 1st page. All I want is to ship some goods from China to Nigeria ASAP and want it to get to Nigeria before Sunday.
Giving that the intro says $8 per kg and N450 per kg for custom check being the price, what are my odds of it getting to Nigeria my set deadline?
Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon.

Darhmee: Hello everyone.. sorry iv been absent for a while.. congrats to everyone who had a succesful interview.. the Lord will continue to be on our side.. and also, a big welcome to all the new members of this our beautiful thread
Iv missed u all and I cant believe the thread has moved by 6pages.. we are making progress

So the update about my status is that ou host who is in bowie, maryland suddenly called us that she cant accommodate us anymore because her husband pple are now staying with her bla bla.. but to the glory of God, we toldmy uncle's friend in atlanta, georgia and he has fully agreed to accommodate us.. So I wanna know if I should change my US adress by sending a mail to KCc or wait till we get to the POE (I heard that isnt effective).. I dont want our green card to be misplaced oh.. any experienced reply will be appreciated

edimop: This is no issue @ all.u can always change ur address anytime.if u wish to do dat @ d port of entry fine,ur greencard will get to u.if u wish to change ur address online tru uscis site u can.so which ever.Always contact uscis for any changes made.further more,to save ur d stress of asking too many question,after ur arrival within d nxt 14-20days u can call uscis to verify d status of ur greencard,den request for a tracking num.With d tracking num,u will knw d date wen ur green card will get to u.....signing off from New york........

KCC is through with you ever since you were schedule for interview, hence you wouldn't have any dealings with them.

Cheers

Atandaishola794: @Kevwe-flex Thanks for your constant,accurate and true bulletin updates on this forum. May the almighty God continue to enrich your brain. With the way the bulletin has been going so far, what do you think is the cause and what do you foresee this year ? I see you as the biggest guru along this line, hence these questions. Thanks again on behalf of all the forumites.

EgbonBode: Do not be worried about visa bulletin for Nigeria.
Please let nobody be discourage about the movement of the visa bulletin. My case number is about 18,000. Everybody that won will have opportunity of been interviewed. If you analyse the statistics at this link that westcodes gave us for last year 2013 the whole picture will be very clear. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmbWzexdyvIldEs1d3VWWnJoV1BZSTF0R0JGeVRSTFE&usp=drive_web#gid=7 DV cases judged in 2013, it's interesting.)
Note this: In Nigeria case for 2013 only 18 case numbers were greater than 20,000. All the other African country except few like Egypt and Congo are well distributed from 0 to about 100,000. What is happening in our own case this year is that almost everybody that won in Nigeria are having their case number less that 20,000. They are distributing the visa bulletin for Nigeria based on this. They already have rough figure of the number of people they are going to interview in Nigeria and they have known the number of people to be invited each month.
If your case number is high continue to prepare. Find out what you can do in US in terms of career and prepare for it. You will surely be interviewed before the end of September. If you look at the case of 2013 there is no body from Nigeria (based on the statistics in the link) with case number 19xxx that was interviewed earlier than August. Everybody in 19xxx in Lagos were interviewed in August and September.
Our high case number will be to our advantage based on the way this forum is helping with information. Those that will go to US early will be able to help us with information on how to Travel, settle and find jobs and career.

Greetings. ^^^ That to me just answers your question. Thanks for your compliments. Note I am an applicant like you too. Just like @samolaniyi said

samolaniyi: Kevwe is correct,the VB is out.Every months member of immigration.com forum usually call KCC from 6th of every month until the current number is given out.I believe if you are a member of that forum you will get the visa bullentin before it is announced officially.

^^^ That is what I did, inspired by @westcodes. BTW, I love what @EgbonBode has just written here. Beautiful peace. Taking this as an advantage to himself.

maikeal: @obatide, AMEN I claim ur prayer WE ARE FINALLY CURRENT @KEVWE FLEX,... GOD THAT STARTED THIS JOURNEY FOR US WILL GRANT US A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW.. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN..

Amen bro.

a dream of mine for many years, and i would like to thank those
who have helped me along the way. First and foremost i would
like to thank god for giving me this opportunity, my parents words cannot express their thanks, I also want to thank my network provider etisalat for not disappointing at that very moment, I thank my colleague miss Margaret for all her support and finally every nairalanders for keeping this quest alive. thank you all









back to the topic, drumming all my support for Africas finest footballer in my very time....#teammikel all the way

Keep quiet. Na your mate dey create topic.

femishow2005: Ok I think there're two things involved.
1. A married woman whose passport has expired and it's her maiden name that's on it can just do the change of name at any immigration office nationwide and a New one will be issued in her husband's name .
2. A married woman whose passport is still valid and it's her father surname she used may have to go to Abuja for the change of name where new one will be
issued in her husband's name.

Now based on what kevwe quoted. I think the person wife falls into the second category. She played as single now married and has passport that's still valid with her maiden name on it. In conclusion it's advisable to go Abuja and obtain the new one rather passing through what Kunlesmore passed in the statws cos they'll issue the visa in the name on the passport.

Hope this Help? ..It can only be God

Hmm, well said. Thanks for expatiating it.

Visa Bulletin for February as applies to March cut off

Nigeria is 9,400

Doublegold: To the air ticket gurus in the house, pls, if i plan to book for ticket by jan 20th, with departure date of March 1st, I'm heading to Chicago. What's the best deal i can get. I mean cheap price.

Greetings. Qatar Airways Economy N Class Murtala Muhammed International Airport(LOS) Sat 01 MAR 14 to Chicago O hare Intl(ORD) Sun 02 MAR 14: Price - ₦171486. This price is an estimate as of today, but you are looking at booking on 20th, which means this price will jump up. The further you book for your tickets, the cheaper the price. This is a one stop flight of about 8 hours at Doha.

Peace!

energysaver: Good A.m all! Pls I am confused concerning my international passport, It reads SINGLE which will also will expire in 2016. meanwhile I played as married! Pls can this affect me negatively? Thanks in anticipation of your advice

Greetings. I am going to quote what a forumite of DV2013 experienced on this issue last year, then based on that, you can take your decision. Meanwhile using your passport reading SINGLE while you are already MARRIED wouldn't be of any adverse effect to you, except that you were already married before you did the passports and you claimed single, this might affect you (I am just assuming).

Kunlexymoore: Hi my peeps. Just to intimate u guys that we (Myself, Shewen4God and our daughter) arrived America a week ago (North Carolina to be precised) and we had a safe and interesting trip. We thank God for His mercies and ur prayers as well.

We are settling in gradually. We've filed in for our SSN and we were asked to wait for a minimum of 10 days before we get it. We hope to receive both greencard and SSN before month end by His grace cos a lot of things we need to do here depends on those two items.

Lastly, this is for the ladies that won as singles i.e. played with their maiden names. You are expected to effect ur name change on ur passport in Abuja (if u already had a passport before you played)before going for ur interview so the name on ur visa can bear ur husband's name and you wouldn't have to go thru what we went through, trying to change it now in the USA. We travelled to the USCIS office within the state and we were asked to wait for the greencard to come out first after which we will fill a form for change of name and pay $300.00 for them to change the name on the greencard. You need not go thru all these.

Best wishes for those still waiting to be interviewed. Regards.

Congrats there.

samolaniyi: I guess you were place on AP simply because your wife played as single before she won.Therefore,the embassy would want to confirm if the marraige after the dv lottery is genuine,and this will take 60 or more days.

however,you can check the AP status on this link:https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx
This link will tell you the position of your AP status.

Greetings. I disagree with you on that. But that may not ruled out as well. I am a living witness of someone in this same situation whose interview was successful and visa approved that same day. A very closed friend of mine that entered for the eDV lottery by Oct 2012, got married December 2012, won when result was published May 2013, went for interview Dec 10th 2013 with visa approved that same day. Note that the burden of proof is on the person being interviewed. It may be that they weren't able to convice the CO sufficiently hence the AP.
So playing as single and married afterwards before going for the interviewed doesn't mean automatic AP. Like someone said in the forum that marriage before result could be tough, but after result is tougher.
Cheers!
