I just read a report that multitasking reduces IQ more than smoking marijuana

imperiouxx: ^^^ lolz. Friend, it's sweet said than done. When it's time, I will like to ask you ''friend how far nau?''. Sebi you just started, you're still feeling some naija treats and air. My supervisor is a British, he finished his post doctorate in University of Toronto, Canada. He is teaching in New Mexico, USA, got his Canadian green card while studying and recently US green card while working, he has been here for 2+ years, only visiting UK once a year (during summer break). Now working on his wife's card. A British o.

Pls note: He is british

djunit1: There you go again with America is "Sweet" Everywhere you find yourself can be sweet if you plan well, People who are not complaining are people who have families here. I dont care how much funding you get from your school, life in yankee is not easy. Lets us try our best to tell it the way it is. Sugar coating wont help others! It is because of these stories that made Yankeeboi1 come to yankee without a laptop, he was prolly expecting to get one for cheap or free. Na so I leave mine for Naija too! I was lucky I had enough money to buy another as soon as I got here.

I beg everyone of you in yankee to please and please always paint the picture the way it is. So unneccessary sufferins of Nairalanders can be avoided.

As for Justwise, you are over doin it!!! This is usually the problems with Nigerians. When you give them power they abuse it and turn themselves to gods.



Imprecious I am not hopin for a better day in yankee. my own na to manage finish school go back home. It does not matter how much hope you have in this country everything is fixed, I have met too many people and got very close to them. These people make 100Gs annually and they still strugglin with student loans and mortgages This is how I know this country will not favor everyone especially people like us who grew up in other countries with different way of life. A life and system where we get what we want whenever we want.

That is all

That's the truth

mkmyers45: Wtf are you talking about?

If science was ryt, all apes wud have evolved to man and the evolution cycle won't have stopped with man. . . .

tobechi20: Do u think that science is more accurate than bible?

The evolution of not all apes to humans and none evolution of humans to something else shows science is soooooo false

Nice stuff

Nice song

[quote author=king1_00]Sorry for the misconception, i meant the DS 160 form, alot on my mind here. Let everything on that form make proper sense. dont live too many gaps between your educational qualification and work experience. There is a part of the form that says if you have ever worked for a professional non profit organization, put something there that relates to your course of study, dont leave it blank, If you are not currently employed, look for a related company and put it there, if fact put past(NYSC) and current employer. Remember to always make it related to your past and future studies. Contact in USA, should be a school Offiical, no one else. Please nobody should be discouraged about anything, like undergraduate dont get a visa or something, i always tot i liked that too but its a wrong thinking. Naomi is on this thread, had a bachelors degree and was given a visa for another bachelors degree(tho its 2 years). Another classmate of mine in Nigeria had a pretty low cgpa, and was given a visa to study another bachelors degree. Just make a good application, and convince the VO that you intend to study, thats all in my opinion. The interview might not be a reliable means of issueing a visa, but they make a decision for the most part.

Also if you are going for a course related to military like engineering, medicine, psychology or what have you, you can tell the VO that you intend joining the Nigerian Military on completion of your studies and putting an end to this boko haram menace. Thats VERY GOOD TIE. worked for me despite that fact that i have 3 siblings in the states.

All the best and Good luck to Spring Applicants.[/quote]I don't preach dishonesty, whatever ur putting in ur DS-160 should be "as is". . . Meaning current truthful situation, if everyone had a job in Nigeria at everytime of their lives, we wud have the best economy. . . . . In my application, I put the truth and I got it. . . It's all God's favor. . . Don't and lie in ur application and expect God to help u

dannywest01: What's up with people requesting for email address for personal questions self, this is a thread and we are all here to learn, if you keep asking for emails and not asking ur questions here nobody will learn anything. Why don't y'all ask ur questions here and let others benefit from it. Thanks

obusco4lyfe: so wat re u implyin? Cs d name of my sch is howard college!

It's a community college

fadinus: What's TNT?

It's a type of bomb

Just kidding

[quote author=toseen123][/quote]Not a bad idea

obusco4lyfe: @house re all two year college in d u.s a community college? Because i knw sm1 who got admitted to a two year college nd still d v.o granted him visa, even d sch doesn't refer to it as a community college.

Some colleges are affiliated to Uni's, like they share the same name self like ASU

They charge us for data plans so wat r they complaining about. . . Plus intra-sms is N0 expense to the company so it's 100% profit, so as they are not losing shingbain, they should not complain

jhidey92: Wat is wrong wit community colleges?? Coz i got admitted there.

More like a Polytechnic

jhidey92: Justwise

naa community college gave me admission wat wil i do. ;-(;-(;-(

Justwise. . . sho gbo?

Aqva: A former female colleague of mine who's husband was a chronic womanizer told me how she changed him. The man's case was so bad that he would sometimes have his girl friend in the car when he goes to pick his wife and kids from church. She even moved out of the house a few times yet the man kept cheating.

I met her recently and she was cruising in this lovely Ranger rover Autobiography. She was looking so happy, this was a woman that was perpetually sad and was even begining to age. I had to ask her wussup? How oga and d kids? It was then she revealed to me that her hubby bought her this car and even now attends social functions with her. He is always at home now and most times takes her and the kids out for shopping, visiting, holidays etc.

I had to ask her the secret, that is when she told me hw she managed to finally change him by.

1. Ignoring him---she stopped complaining even when he doesn't come home for days.
2. She never denied him sex even with his cheating habit though she insisted on protection which the man always obliged.
3. She kept his room and clothes clean and always prepared his meals.

According to her, the husband called her one day and asked why she pretends not to notice his womanizing anymore. She told him that it doesn't bother her again as long as she is the one officially married to him. Few days later she started noticing a chane.

My reason for this narration is to encourage women who have husbands that are dogs to try out this method. S[b]ometimes men hate being challanged and may want to teach the wife a lesson. If itcan work for her it can work for others[/b].

Most men are not like that, don't give them false hope, if u were really a guy you would know most men won't change cos of this

Anthonymighty: I went for OND. its a diploma and not BSc. I had transcript from my Diploma school, secondary school and certificate courses i had been doing prior to the interview. I would have shown the VO but he was not interested i think. I am going for undergraduate, even if i already had an undergrad cert. cant i go for another undergrad in a different major?

Then when he asked you if you were a student u shud have said "Not yet, I have acquired diplomas and want to get my B.Sc now"

toseen123: HI PEPS,PLEASE I HAVE AN ISSUE AND NEED UR ADVICE(S)...
I WAS DENIED VISA IN JUNE THIS YEAR AND WAS NT REALLY GIVEN A REASON FOR THE DENIAL,ALTHO I KNW I DID NT PERFORM TOO WELL IN MY SAT EXAM(1170),BUT WAS STILL OFFERED ADMSN WITH THE SCORE......AS AT NOW I PLAN ON WRITING THE NEXT SAT AND PROBABLY DEFER THE ADMSN TILL JANUARY....
NOW THE QUESTION IS HOPE THEY WILL NT DENY AGAIN KNOWING THAT I REWROTE THE SAT, AND SECONDLY BECAUSE I BASICALLY FACED ONE SCHOOL. (APPLYING FOR ONE SCHOOL)..TNX

Your score doesn't matter. . . You got admission, that's all that matters but u can do as you plan and redo it, get a higher score, get admitted in a better school and I hope ur not going to a community college sha

Anthonymighty: Kpolli I finished senior high in 2003. And I went for undergraduate. But I had back up docs to show him what I have been doing since 2003 till date if he had asked. Because I had my OND and did some other computer certificate courses. All docs was with me yesterday but the douchebag didn't even bother asking or looking at the pack full of docs I went with. So why did you think he assumed I was a student or working. He saw it there that I was going for bachelor's and I had a sponsor. Yet he was asking me if I work after I had told him and he knows I am a prospective undergrad. Student. Those people are just hobos. You need to see how he was interacting with this gurl that day because she was cute and he gave her visa after smiling and laughing with her. Smh

So u have done an undergrad, y r u going for another undergrad? And 2003 is a long time, almost 10yrs ooooo

jhidey92: yeah
the college only want to know u write TOEFL exam.

i need ur advice am weak.


want i can do coz am going thru agent b4 knowing dat there is a thread like dis on NL.

They always have a minimum score

jhidey92: @kpolli like me i left sch 2009 and want to apply for undergraduate.

Wow that's 3yrs of being idle to the VO. . . You need to change "being idle" to something else

jhidey92: I nid ur advice all my oga. I score 36 in my toelf test and apply for 2 university and 2 college,,,one of the college accept me. Did i hv any prob in front of dat so called VO untop my score if he ask 4 my scorecard.

Your joking that u got 36 ryt?

ferdiii: Hey! I understand your feelings but take it easy. Take ur time and know what to do in order not to lose time and resources. Are you for Science? GRE is for you. Arts and Social Science you register and take GMAT. GRE is 175USD but if you are testing at a location in Nigeria, you can't register online. So get someone or someplace to do that and they will take their commission. That could make works N40K.

Hey again, do not rely on these GRE materials being passed around. Go get Baron's New GRE 2012. I just got one yesterday and relying on only this GRE materials will shock you on that test day oh. I got my Barron's at N4K in Jos and am loving it.

American Embassy doesn't stamp a thing on your passport. They will just get you the damn white sheet and corner your cash. They are milking us!

Comment withdrawn, saw ur other replies

walexy: I need to get some clarifications on behalf on my sis that would be having her interview soonest for spring 2013.. she intends studying an MBA in a Uni in the US;

*What is the difference between GRE and GMAT? The VO seems to be dwelling more on GRE and i am kind of confused cos she sat for GMAT and not GRE.. Is it right to reply that she sat for GMAT if GRE is requested from her by the VO?

*Is it compulsory she sits for TOEFL in addition to GMAT? I guess i saw something like that in earlier posts..

*Find it hard to interprete the GMAT score.. she had 330 in Verbal & Quantitative.. Is analytical writing and integrated reasoning not always cummulated to the score in verbal & quantitative?

Help throw more light please.

GMAT is for MBA, GRE is for Masters. . . So she is on the right path. . . . OVAP, take note
