SportsRe: Did Anyone Notice The Bias Of The Foreign Media Regarding Super Eagles Victory? by mrkhaynoni: 9:42pm On Jun 22, 2018
bennynaza:
Instead of duly giving Nigeria their deserved praise for beating Iceland and giving themselves a shot at qualification, most foreign media outlets decided to make the super eagles victory all about Argentina.
Headlines like " musa shines to give Argentina hope" are on every foreign sports tabloid as opposed to "musa shines to give Nigeria hope".
That's how the commentator during Croatia vs Argentina kept assuming that Iceland
would beat Nigeria.
I noticed this too especially on Goal.com and I was both furious and very disappointed. Waoh! What bias!!

DestinyCHILD1:
Good evening NLers, please I need help on behalf of my sister that was interviewed today and placed on Administrative processing, she said the VO wants to go through her statement of account.

For the record, she has 60% tuition waiver (Masters degree), a loan of $15,000, her husband and our uncle will be paying for the rest.

Her challenge is her husband's account is just around 1million but he is a staff with the consulate. Our uncle's statement is #8mn...what do you guys think her fate will be cos she is really paranoid?
I am curious about something, a lot of applicants are now going to the embassy with loans for school fees ( and most of them where approved) If I may ask for the benefit of others who are in need of funds, where and how was this loan sourced?
Thank You.

Okay, can you be straight forward then since no one wants to be?
Good question!

Okay, noted... But what could I have said?... Remember he said 'why are you going from 30 degrees to -14' not 'why did you choose these schools?'
Its indeed a tricky question, but since its a kind of funny remark you might have also just smiled and say you found out summers are a lot better.

Had my first degree in anatomy (I explained to him how I developed an interest for evs and How I took some elective courses in environmental chemistry etc)and the soa had enough money to pay for 3years of school, it's my dad's.it was Lagos embassy...
The only weak areas I can Identify are the ffg:
Your previous refusal
Your previous degree might not be a "perfect" match to the V.O
The ranking and locations of the school.

Please note that people with worse profiles have been granted visa's, that's to show how subjective the process is.
Nevertheless sis, I think you have a good chance if you book another appointment, practise question and answers and PRAY!

Hello guys, good morning... I'm very sad at the moment but I feel like someone might have something to say about my transcript and I would appreciate if you do.

VO: good morning, how're you? Pass your passport and i20

Me: morning sir, I passed them.

VO:where are you going

ME: University of Idaho, Moscow

VO:What are you going to study

ME: Masters of environmental science

VO: why this course?

ME: I developed an interest for evs during my undergraduate studies when I discovered the environment has a lot of effects on the human health,earning this degree would fortify me with the skills and qualifications to work with the fed ministry of environment and it's agencies I also plan on setting up an evironmental ...... He nodded and the He cut me

VO: which other schools did you apply to

ME:bemidji state university, Minnesota. Tuskegee university alamaba. Minot state uni North Dakota.

VO: he now smiled and said oh you want to go from 30 degrees Celsius to -14, I smiled too and said sometimes we all feel the need to change our environment sometimes... He laughed and said yeah that's true. It would be a nice change though. I smiled back.

VO: so have you travelled out of the country before?

ME: yes, to the UK twice and Dubai.... He checked my passport to confirm.

VO: did you take any tests?

ME: yes I took the GRE and IELTS and had a combined score of 305 and 7.5 respectively

VO: when did you graduate

ME: 2016

VO: did you have your nysc?

Me: yes I did ... He nodded and said oh okay

VO:are married? Any kids?

ME: no

VO: how will you pay for the first year of school?

ME: my dad is sponsoring me

VO: can I see a bank statement ?

Me: yes sir, and I gave him and he stared at the statement very well page by page.

VO: I'm sorry but you don't qualify for this visa at this time. Then gave me the blue paper.
The feeling was crazy especially having such a long conversation and you felt like you were flowing together.... But he didn't even ask about the program, or why I prefer the school or how I heard about the school. If I was shaking or stammering it would have been another case.i was looking at him eye to eye cos I've been there for a tourist visa before and was denied so I wasn't nervous or anything this time around, he didn't even talk about my previous denial so I don't think I have any bad record there or something. Please tell me what you think I should have done or if I answered wrongly to any questions... Thanks

Few questions for you before I know how to critique, what was your first degree?
Is there enough money to finance your studies in your SOA?
Is it a personal account or a corporate account?

FamilyRe: Pls Help A Nairalander's Baby Win Cussion's Baby Contest by mrkhaynoni: 12:53pm On Mar 05, 2018
i Just voted, all the best to baby olugbogi
contactmorak:
My fellow Nairaland family members, i am glad to inform you that my 7-month old baby, Samuel Olugbiji, has been shortlisted to participate in the 1st Stage of the just opened Cusson's Baby Contest. This first stage lasts for two weeks.

My fellow NLers, this is exciting because thousands of awesome babies all over Nigeria contested before they were shortlisted to only 500 babies. I even heard that some celebrities babies are contesting this year and this is scary to me.

However, when i think about the power of my Nairaland family, i know that no other forces can beat that.

Please, lets help our Nairaland baby "Samuel Olugbiji" to win.
Below is the link to vote. https://www.cussonsbaby.com.ng/campaign/cbm5/entry?id=380627

It's very easy and fast when you you visit the Link.

NB: Pls note that you can only vote once, but you can help share the link to any one you know who can also help vote.

God bless all Nairalanders, God bless Nairaland and Long Live Nairaland!!!!

Small advise for those aspiring to genuinely study in America.
1. Choose a university in one of the big cities.i.e new york
2. Go for medical related programs.
3. Make sure you hold money wella or get scholarship
Goodluck
Can you explain a bit more why u suggest big cities or why medical related?

LOL. If you guys are complaining like this, I wonder what we ladies should be doing. When we need to have at least $150 just to make braids.
I advice any lady coming over here to learn how to make hair, you will make a lot of money from it.
I will advise even a guy to learn this

[quote author=teepee4Him post=58469875]Greetings and Congratulations to all Fall 2017 Students. Just thinking I should drop few words in a bid to assist those travelling in here. I will tag it - THINGS I WISH I DID/KNEW BEFORE TRAVELLING TO THE U.S.

1. I wish I knew a student in my school : By all means, PLEASE get at least two 'CORRECT' students in your prospective school that can advice you. Information sometimes can be more useful than thousands of dollars as a new student. I never knew any student in my school then and I still regret a little till date. To make matters worse I entered when school wasn't in session. So, I met no 'CORRECT' student until orientation day.
Likewise, make plans to attend the Orientation. I know some will tell you it is not important BUT I THINK IT IS. Apart from the valuable information you will get, you will also get the opportunity to meet new people. I will never forget the Guy that 'gingered' me after orientation to knock at doors and speak directly with Professors for Jobs - TAs, RAs and the likes. That paid off for me.

2. I wish I learnt a handiwork : To some that are financially comfortable, this might not be necessary but to others on the street this might aid to ease of some stress - Learn a trade. (Fashion designing, Hair dressing, Barbing, even Mechanic). My fisrt day in U.S, after picking me from the airport, my uncle drove me to a restaurant and then to have his hair cut. Lo and Behold - I was shocked to learn he had just had an hair cut for $20 (especially because I just had mine cut two days ago in naija for less less than #300.) I did calculation immediately and was kinda shocked

3. I wish I knew how to drive and came with an International Drivers License. Imagine me - I had access to a small car at home then in naija and wasn't working BUT I JUST DECIDED NOT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. That's one of my foolish decisions. Public transportation in the U.S is 'Zero in some cities' and if you dont have a car, it is as simple as you dont have a leg - YOU WILL BE CARRIED ABOUT, not without stress, heavy bills etc. Why not save yourself the stress now and learn in naija. Likewise, INTERNATIONAL Drivers License is permitted to drive with in some states.

4. I wish I spoke the truth. Well, I am not the kind of person that believes in lying but whatever came upon me at the POE when asked if I came with food items, I still can't fathom. I at first said no to the officer. I later said except few dried fishes and snacks. However, I had several types of foodstuffs, from dried fish to Garri to Ogbonno, to Egusi etc. I had to be delayed for about an hour and half where I later now listed all I can remember was in my bag shocked. Not without fear and anxiety. Save yourself the stress and simply tell them what's in there. (They already know)

5. I wish I came with a minimum of three jeans and probably a snickers. . For new students, I don't believe the first few months will be one where you need to spend money on stuffs like wears except you are obo. One or two correct jeans will do the magic. JJC like me, I don't put on jeans in naija so I came with

[color=#990000][/color] what this man has said up there is worth its weight in GOLD! Except you have a huge supply of inexhaustible funds, pls learn a skill before u get on that plane. Especially mechanic and hairmaking, and for those who can play musical instruments infact money go dey look for you! This is another reason why u shud look for reputable schs in cities where u will get more opportunities to make side cash based on your skills rather than a sch in a village where even if every1 patronise u, u still wont make ends meet. Besides u will stand out very quickly in a rural area which might not be good for u on the long run. My 2cents
