So I have done a lot of reading through here but I need to know if I have it put together so some extent .
Planning to go on vacation/annual leave in October . I'm 30, single and I work . Earn about 150k per month Planning to spend my stay in US with my cousin and his family in Chicago .
These concerns . - I listed him as a sponsor (since he would be responsible for my accommodation and feeding ). am i right to have done this ? - he migrated to the US though school Bsc ,married and stayed back . I fear how he migrated might work against me . - already filled my DS160 and submitted but I haven't made payment or booked any appointment . Do I need to write to the embassy still if I want to fill a new one and begin the application afresh ?

Thanks to all the information i got on this thread. Submitted my application on the 9th of September at vfs global Lagos and got it on the 27th. Got my visitor's visa stress free.
magneto: My people, my people...I dey greet all of una special o! Shout out to the newbies in da house, xerum, nipple, talk2docee...y'all are warmly welcome.
I've been pondering on a particular matter for some time now, and I'd luv to get ur opinions on it... Between these two qualities "COMPATIBILITY" and "ADAPPTABILITY", which would u say is a more important quality in a potential mate and why??
Over to the house...
human beings are the most adaptable beings. it means that regardless of any situation, you get to find a way to make it work. I like to think adaptability is something you resign to where compatibility is absent. we belong to a society that places value or maybe used to on staying married/together either for the sake of children or for just the fact that it is the way it's meant to be and I'd think it's a spur of the mindset of being able to make it work with anybody. I have heard a lot of people say they can be with anyone and it just takes a few basic factors in place to do that. You get used to a situation, get used to be with someone and live with them. In my opinion, it's no different from settling. Why settle for ANYone when I can have SOMEone? Compatibility is a match, a complementary fit and everyone deserves to have that with their own someone.
Ilaje44: If you wanna learn Ilaje, aunti FourFunmi would be a great help . Try to get her attention . Which Yoruba dialect do you speak/understand (Ibadan, Egba, Ijebu...)?
I am sorry if family and peer pressure is making you to cut ties with families and friends. I understand Nigerians can be quite nosy and drive one to madness with their when are you getting married?, go and marry attitudes. Some do it innocently, and with the best intention, while some other just wanna torment you. Nevertheless, I do not think the best way of handling the situation is to isolate yourself. You will be compounding the situation by so doing. Hence, if people ask you such questions, the best you can do is smile, and tell 'em God's time is the best.
I hope fortune will smile upon you, and you will find your very own "ideri" pretty soon. Since heaven only helps those who helped themselves, I would encourage you to try to put smiles on your face, and never let the situation take charge of you.
Thank you for your kind words words. I'm struggling to read your dialect. You write it so deeply.
Ilaje44: Ko buru o! Oya, introduce yourself without outing yourself.
Mo wish e ni ife gbigbona bi Tiwatope se so nibi:
PS: Seun, ewo ni "Tip"?
Mo wish ara mi the same or better.
I'm not a many words person so I'm not sure how much I can tell except I'm asked. I do better talking than writing. So this is me 28,single,working a job I don't like, away from my family, anticipating a lonely Christmas. Did I say I pushed my friends away? Errm, not really. They all got married and had kids and there was less and less things to talk about. You can tell already that I'm at that age everyone expects you to be settled or about to and that's the only discussion they want to have with you when they see you. So, I've stayed away from friends and relatives. you won't blame me if you were me. Now, I have just withdrawn into myself. I know it's not very healthy but I can't help it much.
Ilaje44: There's something about this your user name. Anyway, let me leave matter for Matthias. Who you be and what are you looking to achieve by joining us? In short, introduction yourself like Chief Zebrudaya would say.but
Errm. Ignore the username. It's an alternate my original has long since defeated anonymity so forgive me. What I'm hoping to achieve? I just want someplace to talk away my troubles and have people listen and maybe make some friends since I have kind of pushed the ones out here away.
I'm getting married to a man i met on an online platform in few months time but I'm so worried about how we both met. i can't even tell my friends and family the truth. does it really matter? how will we tell our children we met? how would the bestman tell the story on the day? i know my worry may seem unnecessary but i just want people who walked their path this way to encourage me with their stories.
