Education / Re: Is It Alright For A 10 Years Old Child To Be In J S S 3? by MsNas(f): 7:41pm On Nov 29, 2015 |
maasoap:I guess you didn't understand the grammar I used. The guy said categorically that the kid is gonna suffer. Like he was entirely sure about it. My answer to him was that, while I don't recommend it, it's not 100% that the kid is gonna suffer it. Some do suffer, some don't (Like me). Thanks |

voltron:Yes. Very true. That's why I said in my last paragraph that I wouldn't encourage it. The mind might not be able to handle it, it has adverse effects on some kids. Some kids can, some can't |

angiography:Suffer later? Well, it depends on the child. I got into high school aged 8, graduated high school aged 14, went to Uni at 15 cos I had to wait to write JAMB, and also got my masters as well. I didn't suffer. The only side effect was that a lot of my mates in secondary schools who knew my age bullied me as in Junior Secondary. But I got wiser and it stopped in Senior Secondary. So it all depends on the child. Some can handle it, so cannot. I don't really support it though, cos not all kids can handle it like I do. I won't allow any of my kids to skip grades crazily, like I did. 6 Likes |

Business / Re: My First Bank Mastercard Was Hacked In The USA by MsNas(f): 4:45pm On Oct 22, 2015 |
Normally, the financial institution (either credit or debit) are the ones who are supposed to take control of the situation and rectify the issue. That being said. It happens like that. It could be different scenarios. 1. You used the card online and you mistakenly hit "Pay" twice at checkout. This has happened to me before. I was trying to buy an airline ticket and my wifi went off immediately I pressed send. Since it didn't go through, I retried it. It was days later that I was checking my credit card bill, when I noticed. I called my credit card company and they told me to call American Airlines. When I did, they told me it was pending at their end, but if the transaction goes through, they will refund me. I was eventually refunded after like 2 days. 2. You used your debit card in-store at best-buy and one fraudulent employee ran your card twice so he/she can pocket the rest. I've heard cases of that happening at Walmart and restaurants. This one is harder to solve and you might not get your money. I used my card to buy gas one day, and after I got the alert for the gas I bought, few minutes later, I got another alert. That was after I had left the gas station. I called my credit card company again, and they said they will open a dispute with the merchant. They did, but the merchant (Chevron) refused to respond on time. The CC providers just removed the charges from my bill. I don't know how they did it That being said, I always advocate for people to either pay with a credit card or cash. Disputes concerning debit cards are a pain and most times never solved. The US is also notorious for those kinds of card frauds. This is no news. If your card was issued with a US bank, it would have even been better. Nigerian banks are notorious for frustrating people when it comes to crediting money they overcharged you for. Goodluck dealing with the CSRs at Nigerian banks. 4 Likes |

shegsky:1. No. The lady's visa won't be cancelled. It doesn't matter if she's pregnant or not, or even who the father is. That's none of anybody's business. 2. Of course yes. She will be able to continue her education. My friend had a baby while doing her masters (she's married tho) and even was going to school and doing her TA jobs. She might not be able to take a leave of absence to nurse the child as she has to follow the premise of her F-1 visa, which is "Continous attendance at a US institution". 3. The baby is an American citizen immediately he/she is born. It doesn't even matter if either or both of her parents are illegal. He/she is also entitled to some benefits(don't quote me on this tho. I'm not entirely sure) 4. Yes. Your brother can claim fatherhood of the child. His name will be on the child's birth certificate issued by the hospital naming him as the father. He might also be told to sign it. This is known as Acknowledgement of Paternity. 5. No. Neither mother or child are gonna be deported. The child is a US citizen born on the soil. Where do they wanna deport him/her to? The mother won't be deported so far she has not committed any offense that warrants deportation. And as far as I know, having a child while on F-1 visa is not an offense, let alone an offense that warrants deportation. 6. Well, me I don't know about that o. None of them are USCs or permanent residents. So it's either one or both adjusts status through the H1B => GC => USC route, through marriage, or simply wait till the child is 18 and files an immigrant petition for both parents, I simply don't know how they wanna adjust status. Either way, tell them to brace up. It's not gonna get easy and they have a long path to chart. Tell them I wish them Godspeed. |

DeeTus:And since you decided to start editing your post, realize I might have bruised your ego. My apologies This is no talk of showing superiority or whatever you call it, this is just about letting you know the advise you're giving the poster is not entirely right. And if you'd answer this, what petition or visa would you suggest she files for him when he goes to Nigeria? Please enlighten me and also let me know how long those petition take as opposed to filing for AOS while present in the US. 2 Likes |

DeeTus:No. You can't be concerned about abandoned petition and also asked him to return home. None of them match up. If you knew anything about this, you'll know that as soon as he files for AOS, his status is legal and pending Adjustment of Status. It doesn't matter how long he's been in the US, if he's legal or not or even if he entered the US on a B1/B2 visa. So far he was admitted legally at a point of entry the first time he made entry into the US, all sins are forgiven the moment he sends his papers to the USCIS. So, no. There is no correlation between asking him to return to Nigeria and an abandoned petition when he hasn't even filed for AOS in the first place. Have a great morning 3 Likes |

DeeTus:That's not true Mr Man. He doesn't have to go to Nigeria before she files for him. If he goes back, he has to file a K-1 petition but if he stays here he only needs to file for AOS (Adjustment of Status) You realize how long both K-1 and AOS takes right? K-1 takes forever and AOS can take as short as 4months. AOS is his surest bet. Telling him to go back to Nigeria and all the reasons you listed has no basis. He can file for AOS here so far he has all his divorce papers and stuff. Even if he doesn't have it, he can always have it couried to him. Also, while filing for AOS if at anytime he lives to go to Nigeria or any other part of the world, they consider his petition abandoned unless he applied and is approved for advanced parole. So no, it's not better for him to go to Nigeria and she file from when he is there. 4 Likes |

justwise:That's not entirely true. While I agree that credit cards are bad for people who don't have their finances sorted out well (especially students... Either foreign or domestic) if you have the discipline to handle your finances well. Why not? I have not 1, not two credit cards with very very very tidy limits but I don't have any debts on them. Why? Because I learned how to manage my finances. I don't go around buying $300 purses or flying across the world using credit. I do not charge anything in my credit card that I don't have the money for. I pay in full on every one of them each month. Why do I have it? I need the credit score and many of them give very nice rewards for using those card. So if you're international and can handle you card well, why not? The whole statement of Foreign student and credit cards not being found in the same statement is just making a moutain out of a molehill. IJS! 10 Likes 2 Shares |

This is disheartening. I would rather live in Nigeria and be drinking Garri and peanuts everyday than live in the Uk and be harassed everyday by the police. Living the life of an illegal immigrant is worse than hell itself. No peace of mind, no sound sleep, always worrying, always watching your back. Horrible way to live When people told me law enforcement stop people and ask for papers on the streets I thought they were joking until I watched all those immigration shows on YouTube. Pathetic is to say the least. Nobody will stop you in America to bring your papers. To the best of my knowledge sha Oo. 8 Likes 1 Share |

They sell Nigerian kinds of stuff too. What I enjoy buying from there though is fish. They sell the Nigerian kinda of mackerel (commonly called alaran) and since that is the only fish I can tolerate I'm in bliss. I've seen oloyin beans, dried fish, dried pepper, curry and all other stuff there too Check out Indian stores too. They have cheap food too. What we usually buy there is rice. They have this box of parboiled rice....almost 28lbs for $12. It will last you very very long. Walmart sells a bag of its 1lb rice for $5.99 or so. Not economical. 6 Likes |

godG:$100 is even too much sef (at least for me. Lol). I'm assuming you have Nigerian food stashed up in your house, they make your grocery shopping less expensive and this is why I always tell anybody I know coming from Nigeria to bring lots and lots of food. Infact, the only thing I ask from my mom is to send me Nigerian food as I am a picky eater and barely eat American. Most of the time, I don't spend up to a $100 on groceries a month when I'm in Arkansas cos its only me and I have almost everything I need for food. All I get is cereal, veggies (spinach and those peas and stuff), chicken or beef, and some other stuff. I will suggest you buy those things at Walmart or Kroger (if you have those around), and buy them in bulk, you get, more value for your money that way. Don't go to places like Vons or Safeway, things are more expensive. If y'all have those Mexican grocery stores around, they're your surest bet. Groceries are cheaper there and the food is somewhat similar to African food. I spend less than $100 shopping for a whole month at those stores and gosh, everywhere will be filled by the time you're done shopping with $80 Best of all, know the stores that have the cheapest prices on different items so that you can clock in some awesome savings. Although I need to warn you that it's a pain shopping for groceries at different stores without a car but I tell you its worth it. Like sometimes, Vons sell red bell peppers for 3 piece a dollar, while walmart has their's for $1.58 a piece, but I also won't buy water from Vons cos a pack of 24 Aquafina costs almost $8 while a 32 pack of the same brand costs less than $5 at walmart. See how much you can save by buying bell pepper from Vons and water from Walmart. It can seem inconsequential but if you're an heavy shopper or eater, you will actually save quite a few bucks. By the time you've done grocery shopping for three or four months, you'll know which stores have the best deals on which item and know how to plan your shopping. Goodluck 19 Likes |
