Oga,abeg enter Los Angeles and see something.
Homeless people yapaa to the extent that you are more likely to match human excrement while walking in LA than in Lagos.

Na who send you go downtown LA? Why you no go Westwood or Santa Monica or Beverly Hills? Na you know wetin carry you go Skidrow o

Is there a way to figure out what dates are available at the lagos embassy?

Anyone knows what the earliest visa appointment date for spring 2022 currently is? I'm trying to schedule a visa interview asap, hope I'm not too late?

Wyoming is a great place to live. Cheyenne is only about 1 hr 30 mins from Denver, Colorado - a vibrant city with great nightlife, amazing restaurants, and tons of opportunities. Been to Wyoming several times and I can tell you it's beautiful. Do not hesitate to move.

Which ego black man thinking

Are you saying Messi would be taking free kicks or Ronaldo?

didikakakuku:
Juventus? this writer is joking

Just imagine if Messi went to Juve, would Ronaldo be able to put his ego aside and let Messi take the free-kicks?

EXLOVER:
Many will ignore this, but this is just the foundation of Nigeria problems

The funny thing is that when he finally moves abroad, that is when he will understand you work for every penny here, and any slightest mistake such as the so-called chua chua part and everything he gets away with in Nigeria may not only terminate his license but land him behind bars.

SATANICALLY:
But in Adeboye’s letter, which he personally signed, he said that T.B Joshua is currently with the Lord,

OP @SATANICALLY, I read the entire letter and I cannot see anywhere Adeboye said TB Joshua is currently with the Lord. Can you point that out to me, or are you just making stuff up right in front of us??

Visa Transcript

F1, F2 (wife and baby)
Location: Lagos (initial date was Jan 2024, but we were able to reschedule to July 8 2021 - we didn't apply for EA, we just found that we can reschedule)
Time: 7.45am
Status: Approved
COA: $104k approx. Fully funded (no deficit)

Congrats!

Now, question: you said your cost of attendance was $104K and you were fully funded. I'm believing your wife's F2 was fully funded too. I'd never heard schools could find F2 as well, especially considering your wife wouldn't be doing anything for the university. Is this a new thing or something specific to ivy leagues?

FarahAideed:
That dude was killed by a blood clot !!!!

And smoking isn't a risk factor for blood clots? What happens to the platelets and blood vessels due to excessive smoking??

TWoods:
You could have simply assisted her and helped answer her questions instead.

I did, and that was just as important as pointing out your errors, both of which I did. You could have simply checked if I didn't help answer her questions before asking me to do so.

Hi, I am new here. I wanted to do nursing (Associate Degree) in the US. Can anyone recommend a community college that is accepting International students? I have searched the internet but I wasn't getting enough info. Please help a sister out if you are currently doing nursing or about to. Thanks in advance!

Hey, pretty much EVERY community college accepts international students. Search for "community colleges with nursing programs" and you're good to go. Or better still, just search for "best ADN programs in the US" Here is a list of 485 of such programs for you to start with:

TWoods:
You will likely be denied. A nursing degree from most community colleges is a basic LPN. You should look for nursing schools instead…University of Rochester School of Nursing is one I recommend.

This information is wrong and highly misleading. First, an LPN is not even a nursing degree, it is a nondegree certificate. An ADN is a nursing degree, and most community colleges (pretty much every community college that has a nursing program) offers the ADN. And what in the world is "look for nursing schools instead?" Aren't both the LPN and ADN offered in nursing schools? Or are they offered in Law schools lol?

EkemNgo:
Well they asked for the house address and also mentioned postal code so I'm certain it should be hardcopy but I haven't heard from them since 27th may.
Are you a student of NCAT

Nope, I don't know what is NCAT. But I heard that because of the pandemic, embassies now allows electronic I-20 as opposed to physically mailed copies. I'm not sure tho, but if that's the case, they should be able to email you I-20 to you immediately.

EkemNgo:
Please how long does it take for one to get the F I-20, I just submitted my statement of account and other documents on 27th of May. NCAT

Almost instantly since they should be able to send it to you electronically due to covid now.

Good morning nairalander
Please I need your advice on this
Went to America embassy for third time
Two Lagos and one Abuja
2nd of June

Vo: good morning

Vo: why are you going to the US
Me: am going to ***university for my bachelors degree [/b]in *****

Vo: why did you need this degree
Me:I have been work at ***** as an administrative officer [b]in other for me to attain a executive managerial position at **** this degree is essential

Me: yes at federal ministry of ****

Vo : sorry you are refused for same reasons

Please guys I don’t understand the reasons

Oga, you're going for a fresh bachelor's degree to help you attain an executive managerial position?

.

Is there anyone here who can help with paying sevis fee? What's your rate?

Kuruptnigga:
Oga shut up. Na Abuja be this

Even from the pictures you posted, how orderly are they? Take a look at the first one, cant you see that the drivers are swerving off the lanes, including the bike rider? Does that look proper to you? Now compare that with drivers in Pretoria who stick to their lanes.

Kuruptnigga:
How is Pretoria more developed than Abuja.

Just start by comparing the University of Pretoria (one of the best in the world, better than any Nigerian university) with the University of Abuja, and go from there. Travel out and see development!

Kuruptnigga:
Abuja also has a metro rail system and sgr. I don't know what you're talking about.

Compare what Abuja has with what Pretoria has? How many lines does Abuja's run? Does it even go underground, connect to another city? How equipped is it when compared with Pretoria's which connects with Joburg, Capetown? Now, you can tell which one is more developed. So, tell me, what exactly does Abuja have that Pretoria does not?

Jamestown123:
So because of metro rail u think Pretoria is more develop than Abuja? You don't value Abuja because you stay in Nigeria. That's how someone will be comparing Kigali to Abuja like seriously.

Answer my question. Tell me what's in Abuja that's not in Pretoria. I told you what's in Pretoria that's not in Abuja, so tell me yours. What makes Abuja more developed than Pretoria?

Kuruptnigga:
Only South Africa and Egypt can talk. Not Kenya and Ethiopia. Do you know Abuja is even more developed than Pretoria in South Africa.

How is Abuja more developed than Pretoria? Tell me something that's in Abuja that's not in Pretoria. At least, Pretoria has a metro rail system; does Abuja have that?

Are Nigerians westerners? you should also use common sense and see that there are unique situations in Nigeria because of our traditions and culture that would seem odd in a Western setting, the Maori people with those facial tattoos are the aborigines of NZ , so common sense should also make you understand that even if there children have those marks, they wouldn't be discriminated because it's seen as normal in their own culture.

I've shown you that in NZ, despite the fact that there is a strong legislation against discrimination against people with the maori coloration you mentioned, people still get discriminated against in various forms. How much more in Nigeria where there is no apparent legislation about how students with henna should be treated, shouldn't common sense then tell you that every school has the right to deal with the situation in whatever way they please, within the ambit of the law? How should a school handle this situation? Here you go.

And when I say use common sense, if you cannot use common sense, at least do some reading. Do some research before posting, so at least you can appear educated. Who told you that children and people who have those marks cannot be discriminated against in NZ because it's their culture? Did you do any research on that at all to see the history of discrimination despite the fact that NZ has a protected regulation against such discrimination? How many of such childrent with those marks have you seen allowed to attend medical school or become bartenders? Now compare that to Nigeria where there's no protected legislation against people with hennas in school, shouldn't common sense tell you that the school has every right to take a disciplinary action such as suspending the student, especially if it is a private school. It's OK if you can't use common sense but at least read some books and do some research before posting!

Do you even know what is called marks and what is called culture? Tribal marks is what you'll call marks and culture, and that is why you've never seen any student discriminated against for having tribal marks, not this henna or whatever you call it. Henna is not a part of culture. This was why I used the example of a tattoo in the US; there are places where students are not allowed because they have tattoos. It all depends on the school policy, and every school has their own policy. If the school decides to suspend this student for having this ink on her body, they have 100% right to do so and there's nothing you can do about it!

oloshun:
Some people really think know alot, but they know little. How does body adornment negatively impact studies? Don't Caucasian students go to school with piercing and tattoos? Am tired of our country.

Yeah, so now caucasians are the standards that we should emulate. But when it comes to homosexuality, transgender, we should no longer emulate them. Smh
