oyeakd: What do u think?



In my personal opinion, i like it and i feel it will do well commercially as it'll keep growing on me with mad airplay just like Oliver twist and his other joints. Similar formula deployed on this joint.


Listen to it here > http://www.360nobs.com/2012/07/360recommends-dbanj-oyato/

Hopeless fan

leadzeal: hmmm.. in love.. make max sense. i ll make sure i get dat contact, anyti it takes.

but u no tell me say u talk to am oh.. as per u knowing u guys wud b schooling close to each oda..

so i guess u re schooling close to missouri then?..

Heard her interview, didn't talk to her

fittty: Guys pls advice me on this. I've asked previously but I need to make a final decision on it.... I have a Bsc in Economics and I want to go in for a Masters in Public Administration for Spring 2013. But I'm thinking during my interview, the VO might just say both courses aren't related. Guys should I continue with d application for Masters in Public Admin or I should just go for a different course related to Economics. Pls dons in d house advise me on this.. I dey beg una

What do u wanna study? Don't let any fear of what the VO wud think or say change ur dream. . .

leadzeal: Oga imperiouxx and phy;
No, I don't think dat one is on NL. That's why I gave the notice of she contacting me.

But all the same I believe d adjective way una use qualify d former equally applies to the later.

You are lucky. . . Was about to hit her follow button, but if she ever contacts u. . Lemme know. . . Am in love n she wud skool close to me

Sorry for derailing but its all fun

yankison: Please try and answer my question about the online prinout tin for my toefl , does the VO honour it

I dunno, I gave him the one GRE sent to me. . . but as said previously, it should be acceptable, u know ur logging details

yankison: Answer me somebody .

Honestly dunno but I assume u start in the US at a particular level and It should be stated on ur I-20

leadzeal: Not that one. D one u are talking went to window 1 first den was directed 2 window 4. The one am talking abt is a lady.. She even forget to carry her document, so she rushd to her broda who is been interviewd by VO 1 to collect. Though d girl nervous, d VO still give her. Lucky guy.. I was directly seeing all dis. Ow u dey nw?

O yeah, I remember her. . . I pitied that guy, he was prolly redirected cos he was once rejected by that guy. . . I am fine ooo n u?

yankison: @leadzeal

congrats . NO WAHALA ....was it at lagos or abuja ?

Lagos

leadzeal: An undergraduate was granted visa by VO 4 yesterday.. The interview was approx.. 2 mins long. So relax, they re issuing visa to any dick and harry provided he/she can prove to d VO he/she is a genuine student... Success.

If your talking about the tall guy in blue, he wasn't approved ooo

leadzeal: Guys, am thinking of booking [b]emirate flight to houston firdt since is quite cheap. Then also book a connecting flight from houston to okc.. I fink doin it dis way cld save me up to 70k. So I guess this could work.[/b]

-- @ Gboyega, that's sth abt roommate.. Tho ve nt really encountered any troubled one back in my school days, I guess is because I for a person is a medley of seriousness(I really mean strict) and very humurous( I fit laugh here, u ll think I don't get frank at all).. Personality matters sha. My advice is just let it out to ur roomy, u can't continue dat way.give dis a try. My 2 cents.
Please , what do u fink abt my flight itenary strategy..

Thinking of doing the same

Grenade: This is the first time am posting on this thread.You guys are great! Must visit this thread at least three times a week. For those waiting for their interview BELIEVE! I wish u guys the very best. Before I post my experience I want to clarify somethings. From my own point of view oooo I think this U S student visa thing involves three things your GOD, Your confidence as well as your indepth knowledge of the course you want to study! Don't allow people to impact unnecessary fear in you. That you have never travelled abroad or that you have been rejected many times is not a determinant of your success or failure. First of all try to get the necessary documentation and work more on what you will say. I mean crack your brain! Think outside the box! Look for unique and reasonable points..... This was how my own interview went ooooo. I woke up as early as 4:30 am, went on my knees and prayed to my father as usual. My interview was scheduled for 10:30 am.I took my bath, my mom was so hell bent that I must put on a suit! Am very stubborn so I debunked her advise instead followed what my mind said I should wear. I wore a clean yellow polo by ralph, and a clean chinos come knack am with my chinco foot wear. I looked very simple and most importantly like a school boy, I even carried my school bag. Those of you that had ur interview on the 9th of july in lagos must have noticed that. My financial documents wasn't ready so I and my unc had to rush to zenith from there we fire straight to embassy. By 10.05 I dey embassy. Na so we check in oooo. The cue was damn long. Finally we where ushered in. Na my first time visit to any embassy oooooo. Jjc. All the while one thing was in my mind like imperiouxx will say "the green trophy". The rejection rate was high. As I dey sit down na so the guy for window 4 dey bounce one guy wey wan go for masters cold catch me ooooo. I was granted visa by the guy in windows 4 and since I came in I noticed the guy was just bouncing everybody. That black guy in the first window was very mean! Occassionally our two I dey jam and em go come look me with one kind sacarsm all over em face! He never smiled and was just rejecting and rejecting! Even one well travelled lady who mentioned over 10 countries when she was asked of places she has travelled to was still denied visa by the black dude for one or two reasons! As I dey observe my number shine! It was faster than normal mehn. And na the window 4 guy Na so em take go ooooo V0:Afternoon pass ur doc me:I was mean and boning seriously didn't even reply passed my doc.. V0: why do u want to go to the u s Me: for my masters degree V0: masters in what: Me: political science with an emphasis in Comparative politics V0: which school: Me: EIU V0: how did you hear about the school.. Me: Na here the interview end oooooo I explained how I contacted professor xxxx and professor Bleep how dey where interested in my research cos I told them I have published two papers in leading journals in u s and canada: V0 he smiled and said great twice and asked me to explain what I wrote in those papers I published ME: I said in my mind na here you come find my trouble. Na em I begin knack am theories and postulations until I dey sure say em head full well well! The rest na history. I don pick my visa today na to book ticket remain ooooooo. Every ones case is different but be confident and capitalise on your strenght. Show dem say u sabi book! That's ur main reason for going to the U S. Bottom line don't forget the place of God in every thing you do cos that's the most important!

Congrats bro
Did u notice guys in suits were rejected?
Yellow polo top, I saw u
Black guy in window 1 was the one that interviewed me, kept rejecting but gave me upon my flaws... It's God

Dunno why u guys keep saying windows 4 was wicked, he gave plenty ppl (sha that was b4 he went for a break and closed his blind)

@leadzeal, do u remember the fine young girl that was part of the 5 set that went to the embassy with u? the very second on our queue after they said the hall was full that we shud chill back). . . . Hope I could meet her

Was too tensed about the visa to start conversation

Guys, it was just God's favour.. Someone was rejected by d same VO prior to my appearance.

NOTE: I repeated[b] VO 4 dey dash d tin like water[/b]..lol..

Thank you guys..

Here is my experience, though I was shaky and can't remember much. . . It is God, to me I wasn't that good. . . My case wasn't strong but with God, it was too strong for them. . .

dnpasion: Good Afternoon Everyone in the House, i posted a question here last night but haven't got any answer yet from anybody uptill this present hour but i'm hope you guys will consider answering my question. I will be asking the same question once again and i beg you all expertise to please put me through. Let me start this way, i'm new to this traveling of a thing and i'm planning to start processing my student visa into US OR Canada but at moment i'm bit confused, don't know which one out of the two countries is easier to be granted visa to study and my second question goes thus? i am an high school (secondary school) graduate, so i will like to know if i will need to provide my 'SS' classes transcript before i can process my undergraduate admission into any of the US universities and i will appreciate more contribution to this. May God Help Us All. Thanks

Depends on the school ur applying to,
