OjaP: Obajamie,

On a lighter mood, the only probable cause of decrease in production in the Niger Delta in the next 10 years would be militancy. I don't foresee a decline in production even in the next 20 years. Though, oil and gas are non-renewable, geologists will keep studying these reservoirs, identify by-passed zones, and also make new discoveries. The engineers will use advanced techniques in bringing these hydrocarbons to the surface in an environment-friendly and cost-efficient way. In a world where a source rock can be "fracked", and turned into a reservoir rock, anything is possible.

Exactly!!! i only used that as a cover up since i choose joining Mumsie company Am actually going for Petroleum ooooo. who no lik better thing. Talk more of already made one. will really need get in touch wit u for some materials.

OjaP: Congrats Obajamie, are you going to University of Texas, Permian Basin?

Yes Boss

Oba: as an undergraduate geologist, i belonged to NAPE, which automatically qualifies me from receiving journals from AAPG, (she cuts in....wats AAPG..?) American Association of Petroleum Geologist.. so it was in one of their numerous journals dat i read of a topic from Prof Emily Mutis captioned ''Oil in my state and none in urs'' dat captivated me, i immediately emailed the Prof and he in turn sent me Scout smilley's email(director of admissions), i also checked the schools rating at studentreview.com and usnews.com

(na here e be)

Oba:Having acquired the basic knowledge in Petroleum geology and looking at the prospects ahead i belv that the bumper days for petroleum geologist will soon be over, looking looking at the rate of vandalization of our pipelines and massive oil theft, i belv joining my Mum company remains the best becoz, in 15-20 yrs to come.... oil production is gonna drop and environmental geologist will highly needed to remedy the already polluted environment. by then i will be smiling... its a long term project anyway.

Vo: Are u saying dat oil production in Nigeria will drop in the next 15-20 yrs?

Visa Approved.... Thank u. Jesus!!! Thank u house!! Unfortunately ma phone crashed 2dy! Interview experince in a momemt.

jcaribie:

hello obajamie, I did call them on that number but MTN kept telling me that "I am not allowed to call the number". is it a network error or something? also, I cancelled my appointment, will I still be able to see the emergency date? also, if I book on the 2nd, will I be able to get interviewed on the 3rd? thank you so much.

I think its a network error .u can also try calling dem tru anoda ntw provider. Yes, u will definitely see boatload of dates once its approved. Whenever its approved, u will see it boldly written at the top left of ur acc homepage.Same think happened to me, Ricky and Bigfrancis are aware. But lemme warn u; don't cancel any appointment again, I repeat DO NoT schedule or cancel any appointment again till u hear from dem. Odawise u might end up having ur account suspended for 90 days if u cancel more dan 3 times. Keep ur passport closeby wen calling dem. Relax, u gonna be fine .

jcaribie: hey guys. I need help asap. im a newbie on the thread. nice to meet u guys. ok, im all set for an interview, my start d8 @uni valparaiso is the 3rd of Jan 2013. got an appointment for the 21st of jan 2014. got approved for an emergency date in Abuja, E.D is valid till the 2nd of Dec, 2013. I'ved logged into my portal n cancelled the previous appointment, but I still cant see earlier d8s. tried kolling customer care, but mtn keeps telling me that I cant call the number. pls help!

Call dem on dis number 094601748. Same thing happened to me wen I called them, I was told that my emergency booking will only be active on the last day, meaning u can only see earlier dates only on dat 2nd. Note dat it also expires dat same day. Looks lik a new rule or something else. Also try recharge lik 400naira before calling. Hope dis helps.

Gee001: Abeg better rain dey fall here(phc)

Tochium:

No I do not think it will affect embassies and consulates; read below

The state department would continue processing foreign
applications for visas, and embassies and consulates overseas
would continue to provide services to American citizens.

Still on the search. I gentle bruv

Huzzie:
You can still secure admission for winter 2014 but might cut deep into your visa processing period which is between 4-6months but if you intent going for a research base masters then its better to wait till Spring(May)/ Fall(september) 2014 admissions because the time it will take you to get a supervisor and admission would really affect the winter admission,there's no harm in trying. check theses sites http://www.aucc.ca/ and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp. Though colleges are quite faster in giving admission than universities.

Thanx bruv. Am on the link. Keep u posted.any other advice for a brother will be greatly appreaciated.

ChriGo: Yes u still have all d hope in the world to pursue winter session...make google ur soldier....command it and u will surely get response on public universities in canada...i would advice u start now bro...time no dey ya side again..kuku check dis link for d approved schools www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp take ur precious little time to browse tru, am sure u will sqeeze out something...bros i cant really say for now if canada better pass usa but in terms of immigration canada is really friendly...and bros dis one wey u b general..u no suppose ask question again na...bros start from second leiutenant first b4 u graduate 2 general oo...else d real generals in d house go bite u oo...

Thanx Boss! Am on the link nw... Will update u as I progress. Dat Gen. Matter no be for Canada stuff ooo. Ŋa̶̲̥̅ NDA I still D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ for dis Canada waka ooo

Which schools are cool wit dia admissions? My field is Geology
Wats d visa application process lik?
Do i still have time to look for school, get admission, do the necessary visa application before start date of January 2014?
Can someone help ♍ε̲̣ wit a link of wat and wat is required for visa application.
On ur own as an individual, do u think I shld forget my Texas admission and face the Canada own?

Thanking u all in anticipation for ur favourable responses.
