BluntTheApostle:
Which other thing does Genevieve do better than kissing Pat Attah?

Please, stop hyping Genevieve.

Funke is a far better actor.

It's your opinion and if you want to use "kissing Pat Attah" as your basis of comparison, you're entitled to do that.

BluntTheApostle:
Exactly.

Funke is just being modest. She is the better actor.

When it comes to comedy movies I agree with you 100%. But all other genre, sorry Genevieve is better.

Exc2000:
perhaps if you point out some of her best works I might be swayed your way

There's this movie "Rising Sun" really nice. Also the Sharon Stone series, then there's this one she acted as a Prostitute turned Prophet "The Chosen One" and a whole others. I'm just against the "Over hyped" label you put on her. Even Mercy Johnson calls Genevieve her role model and to me Genevieve's acting is way better.

Exc2000:


I prefer Funke Akindele to over hyped Genny

.

I agree with other things you said asides this. Talent wise Genevieve is the most talented actress in Nigeria. If you take time to notice her acting you'll see this. I'll call the Messi of Nollywood. Her acting is so natural. You're entitled to your own opinion though

Nice one!!

Pjomo:
Wait. Una dey mad ni?. If una wan talk about covid this is not the thread for it. You people should kindly go to another thread and discuss that. This place is for Student traveling to the USA for studies. Don’t derail this thread. @justwise, Oya delete all these useless posts & arguments and lets this place come back to normal.


What’s going on about I-20, GA, Sevis Payment and interview??

How's the thread being derailed? In fact, the answer to your question can be found in the comments you claim to be derailing the thread.

West Virginia University, Institute of Technology students, where are you?
Abeg make una show face here, i need una help.

I got accepted to WVU but declined for another offer. But should be of help

LagosismyHome:
All this points down to making money a priority before public health..... I personally get that money is good but dead people cannot work or do anything so I put public health first . All the talk I seen about going on as normal is all due to money .

Abeg people are dying ooo

People are dying definitely but if you close down an economy for a year, don't you think more people will die from starvation? Many countries are finding it hard to sustain their citizens in this lockdown talk more of keeping the lockdown for a year.

sheke01:
San Francisco state University and all 23 campuses of California state University just announced that fall semester will be online. No in person class till at least 2021.

let's keep watching

Yes definitely there are a whole lot of Universities who have announced in person classes for fall 20 too you know. It's likely California State University with all its 23 campuses couldn't come up with safe plan to have their in-person classes without endangering the students. Many schools are planning on in-person classes, few others are planning on a hybrid program. If students most especially new grad students who most times serve as TAs are not available to help, how do you think they'll achieve this? Let's just wait and be optimistic. Yes you're trying to be realistic but the possibility of embassies opening up before fall 20 is also realistic.

sheke01:
please don't misquote me. I never said schools won't plan to resume on campus. Everyone will plan to resume if it's safe to do so. Everyone will plan but no one can guarantee an on campus fall semester at this stage. All they can do is plan for on campus semester.

An international student in a foreign country without a visa and closed US embassy and borders cannot possibly plan for an on campus semester. Semester resumes in 3 months, no talk of reopening embassy, schools are still putting their reopening plans together and they might not have communicated this plans to DHS and yet people keep getting high hopes of arriving here for fall semester.

What is the possibility of DHS believing other countries are safe enough for their citizens to go and reopen embassy?

Let's let this rest now. we'll surely revisit this in August

Yes definitely I get your point. I believe schools won't plan to resume without taking into consideration the international students. So it's best to make all necessary arrangements now. After all these, countries will definitely reopen and that applies to all embassies. There are safety measures currently being discussed on how to handle the influx of international students. In as much as your point is valid, I believe everyone should go on and make all necessary plans. A pandemic won't hold the world to ransom for a long time. Most likely before the end of the year everything gets back to normal and whether you're ready or not you'll still go for your interview. Just that some will go before others. Thank you

sheke01:
New York will gradually reopen by June. I wake up everyday to watch Gov. Cuomo press conference on CNN 11:30 EST. You think I just come here to say anything I like?

New York will reopen because the hospitalization and deaths are declining. Yesterday was about 200 deaths. What will happen when they reopen and the rate goes up again?

I won't believe your school have already sent out emails saying fall semester will be on campus. My school and the general consensus I see online still haven't decided on how fall semester will be. In order not to misinform the public, please provide a screenshot of such email

Yes, people must adapt and adapt protective measures but how will the world as a global village adapt? Will international borders open for non essential stuff like schooling without a vaccine? The US and Canada border is still closed, I can't go for my planned trip to Toronto.

Borders will likely be opened eventually but will the embassy open quick enough for students to process visa for fall semester which is barely 3 months away? I don't expect you or anyone to process stuff the way I process, it's what I do everyday so I understand.

P/S: Am a very positive person but I like to call a spade a spade

This is false actually. Majority of schools are planning for in-person classes come fall 2020. https://www.chronicle.com/article/Here-s-a-List-of-Colleges-/248626?utm_source=SFMC&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20200508%20-%20GRE%20-%20NEWSLETTER%20-%20CTNT visit this page. It contains all schools that have made decisions on what they'll do come fall.

If you listen carefully to the woman, you'll hear that the policeman slapped her first. This video is definitely not complete and in fact doesn't contain what happened before this scene.

Commander -in-Chief(C-in-C)

Yes thanks for the correction.

nickishire:
Why are there two different flags behind the President?

The other flag represents the flag of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. He is the General Commander in chief.

Eniolakiite:
How many countries have the rate of unemployment the US currently has due to this pandemic. This is a pandemic, he has to take steps to protect citizens interests first. Other countries should do so too. Put your citizens first.

Very true to be honest. Student visas are not affected at all. He said so in his press conference today. The full executive order will be available tomorrow. It only affects those applying for permanent residency. He said all temporary visas are not affected.

According to President Trump, the immigration ban won't affect all temporary US visas. Only those seeking permanent residency will be affected.

pompeiimagnus:
Just to motivate both prospective and current students on this journey. A good friend pursuing his MS Industrial Engineering just landed an offer with Maersk, Denmark on their Go with Maersk graduate programme starting September 1. He will graduate this summer, and you can imagine his excitement! From Naija to Yankee then Europe

I'm about to begin my own journey, and his advise to me is, "Do not see the US as your final destination, rather as a gateway to limitless opportunities". He just let me know that many graduate trainee programmes especially in Europe, value US graduates. Best of luck guys.

Thank you very much for this

Theraindrop:
For now NYC is on total shut down, is the lock down in Nigeria extended or done ?

We'll know if it'll be extended today by 7pm Nigerian time.

DriggityDre:

IrishCrown:
Good day all,

Are there other ways to pay visa fees in Lagos since all banks have stopped operations?

You can pay online

iSpitonYourGrav:
May I ask why

I got a better offer from another school

iSpitonYourGrav:
Hello house, just want to know if anyone applied to Virginia commonwealth university or west Virginia university for fall 2020

I actually got accepted to WVU. But I'm most definitely rejecting.

vc1177:
Wow! Did they make provision for late resumption on your I-20 because of Covid19?

My I-20 was ready before it became so serious. But most definitely they'll make provisions for late resumption if the virus becomes worse. They're aware.

Misterdhee1:
Have you been offered any form of funding? I got an admit too

Yes I have. I have even received my I-20

Anyone admitted to the University of Kentucky? Let's connect

SperoQuest:
Send by GOD can also mean to "allowed" by GOD.

LIke jonhson Suleiman rightly said, GOD does not interfere with the affairs of the Earth.

So if man refuses to pray and to seek the face of GOD, then the enemies will have their way and that is what it's happening now.

God knows that such things will happen but he allowed it so that the people can come to him in prayers.

Please stop this. In as much as I am a Christian, don't use words to justify the fact that they're saying different things. Which one is sent is same as allowed? My little observations about some religious leaders is how they use words to confuse their members and thus pass on the twisting of words to their members too.

vc1177:
Please, is it possible to print the I-20 in coloured, instead of going through courier services?

It has to be original.

Snakedoctor1:
same with what he said: if what he saved could not push him further, he's ready to return. Thats what he said.

Okay then. He should just reapply when it's open.

Snakedoctor1:
he held it in case, afterall no harm having mire than enough. He was expectedly asked what happens if the funding stopped. And he said he had some savings to push him further, the the bank statement was demanded.

The best answer would've been that he'll come back to Nigeria since he can no longer fund himself. If you read previous transcripts, you'd have seen that.
