I'm very sorry bro, just got to read your email this morning. Will call you right after work. Say around 18:00 PST.

imperiouxx: That stage of life is faster in female than in male. That's my reason.

Usually.

imperiouxx: Ms. Prof,
PS: Before leaving Nigeria, give your guy one last cuddling and hot .......
Enjoy!

How are you sure she has one ? Pastor Imperiouxx........hmmmmm.

Prof. Enny:

Congrats to you. I am so eager to read your interview transcript.

foohard: Well, I am use to it @ bolded as a Federal Government Staff. whenever you say the truth, you are a wicked man ... ok oo to be fair, America leave the girl for bf ooo, we would see who is wicked when she follow akata in few months

Pardon my sarcasm

foohard: My brother, pls snatch her abeg, boyfriend ko, boyfriend ni... Whats the probability that she wont follow akata for green card very soon

You are just too wicked.... . Person no fit leave him gf with you oo.

foohard: Hello all,
Please where is seun girl that drew all guyz attention with efo riro? Is she in states yet?
Any nairalander in chicago? need someone to hangout with..

Seunolumonday right? I was thinking of her few days ago and wanted to know if she got her visa. I think Walspring and Amefrica will know better.

kunlebal: wow, that nice. that will be cool, should be in cali by next week monday by God grace, cold is killing here in dallas, cant wait to enjoy my winter in cali

No problem, just hit me up. California is cold too ooo. Just FYI

kunlebal: thanks bro, really appreciate you sir.

You're most welcome. I have a NL friend in your school, we could all hang out together when you get to California. Let me know.

Amefrica: Not married bro! she's only got a bf nii. Abi, if person get bf she stil be single?

One can only be single, married or divorced. Of course, she doesn't fall into any of these categories.

Well, maybe she is in a relationship, but pictures or it's a lie - Nairaland's slang

Ricky Rozay: Thanks bro. I have only spent just 20 days in the United States of America and I'm already seeing my name and pics in a newspaper here in Minnesota! The director of international admissions of my school showed me a newspaper today which had my name and pics taken with other staffs on it while I was working @ the campus kitchen, welcoming me as the first New student in their school on the newspaper. My head just dey swell. God is great! When even my shadow no even show on top any 9ja newspaper. Lol.

That is great. That is a stepping stone, you are going places.

imperiouxx: God is great. Lots of ground to break. Give me 4 more years here. You will see me side by side with the next president of the US smiling in pictures.
Mark my words!

It is not impossible. Be true to who you are, embrace your success, keep your head up, you can achieve anything if you truly believe in it.

Kunlebal, Ricky,Big F, and Mandybaby:

You guys are welcome to the United States of America. Be brave and make good decisions at all times.

All the best.

Temmynitemmy: hello gurus in the building,
i want to apply schools for undergraduate program in pharmacy, but am 24 years old, finished secondary skool 2007 den got a degree frm unilag(chemistry) 2011. my question is even if the schools i apply to gives me admission, wont there be matters coming up frm the VO's desk. yes i want a second degree and nt masters.
thanks

You don't have to apply for a second degree. You can apply to pharmaceutical sciences graduate schools with your chemistry background.

You should talk to Imperiouxx.

Ms Nas: Somebody Drank too much Vodka. Guy, what are you saying? Did you read OjaP's answer? Christmas blues in the air

OjaP, are you applying for a US Visa? And you didn't tell us?

Yes, I am getting a second masters degree in criminology

bimbola85: Thanks so much Imperiouxx,OjaP nd Kunlebal 4 d advice nd will surely works on deffering my admission to fall 2014.

Git r dun!!!!

imperiouxx: A level like the undergraduate GPA?

Cambridge A-levels I guess.

imperiouxx: That's taking chances that I always love to hate.

Thank you oo my brother. Remember someone here was in a similar situation few weeks ago. I pointed out the red flags and he said the V.O won't pay attention to that. His case is even more than sponsorship. There are so many red flags in his application. He should be ready for more questions in his second attempt. Hope you had a fantastic Xmas.

bimbola85: Thanks so much OjaP but I think that is already late now. There is no way I can make the Spring 2014 if I'm to inform the school about the mistake if that's not how they normally do their Provisional Admissions I-20. My interview is Jan 6th as I said earlier on this thread nd the school is on break rite now nd not resuming until the 6th I guess, that is the same day I will be having my interview. I don't think I can get any earlier interview date before 14th because I had to requested for an emergency appointment before getting the 6th of Jan from the Jan 10th I first got.
I'm thinking I can explain the situation to the VO and hopefully God will back me up cos the school don't do Summer admission and that means I will have to defer to Fall 2014 if I don't want to go with the I-20 @ my hand.
I will email my advisor and maybe God will make her reply me just to clarify this mixed up. What do you think OjaP?

They issue you a visa based on the length of your studies as indicated on your I-20. Most F-1 Nigerian applicants are issued a 2 year visa whether going for a bachelors or advanced degree. I'm not sure a V.O would issue a F-1 visa if he/she sees a 4 month duration on your I-20. It is better to defer than to be denied.

bimbola85: I'm sure U all enjoying dis festive season. There's a concern abt my admission letter nd my I-20. The MSCJ programme I'm going for is for 16months but my I-20 states that the normal length of study is 4months.

You may have to cancel your appointment and get the "length of study" on your I-20 changed/corrected. Most graduate I-20s read between 24-36 months.

bimbola85: Thank you so much bro nd jst take note of that. Will definitely bomb d V.O with that as soon as he/she ask me a question dat I could easily add dat to. U're highly appreciated

You bet!!

Mr. Abimbola

You have come up with some strong points. The only thing you may want to do is to bring these points up as early as you can. You don't want to wait till when the V.O ask you that, you can actually force him/her to dance to your tune.

Why did you choose the school?

Remind the VO that the United States recently just declared Boko Haram as a terrorist group. Your thesis is going to be on security, intelligence gathering and counter-terrorism using Nigeria as a case-study. You will be working with Prof. XXXX who's a renowned Prof. of Criminology in the US. The result of your research would be included in your thesis, and you plan on submitting your recommendations to the Nigeria State Security Service, Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Army. Ultimately, you look forward to working with the Nigeria State Security Service upon graduation.

Every other thing seems to be in order except that you want to tell the VO you were accepted in all the schools you applied to but chose SJUP because of your research interest. Good luck and I wish you a happiest and merry xmas.

Graviton v.2.0.:
it's probably the certificate.

Anyone here with answers?

It's the certificate.

kunlebal: Which course did you study in school, I love your write up. Always explanatory

Let me just say I have a BS in Geology and MS in Petroleum Geology. Thank you sir.

kpolli: Question was does web ranking really tell a lot about real academic strength? Didn't say compare and contrast standard of Education in Nigeria and here......

The bolded part wasn't necessary....

I do not see any ASUU in the question....

Mr. Kpolli,

You are so right about that. I guess Imperiouxx did not just take his time to explain well. That I have done in my post above.

Anywhoo, I should let you know that what caught my attention in that post of yours was the word "bashing". I only mentioned ASUU just to buttress the fact that our education system is in a mess.

If you are familiar with my style of writing, you would know that I always write people's monikers in bold. Enjoy your night sir.

rubenic: @all I have been following this thread for a while now. I however observed that a lot of students on this thread applied or are applying to schools whose web ranking (4icu ratings) are quite low in my opinion (ratings greater than 1000). Please don't get me wrong, am also a prospective student... I just want to know if web ranking really tells alot about the real academic strenght of a University.

This boils down to your definition of academic strength. Most of these rankings are based on so many factors which include the quality of researches, funds and endowments, alumnus, number of graduates getting a job right after graduation to mention a few. Because of these factors, one would expect universities such as Harvard and Cambridge to be on top of the list because they have been in existence for long.

These schools have millions of dollars to spend on cutting edge researches compared to other universities that are not in the top 1000's. We all know that Harvard, MIT, Stanford etc are 3 of the best colleges in the world but you should know better that not all of us can get into such schools. This does not mean that other schools are not good as well.

After all, the reason most of us are going to school is to be educated, and ultimately get a very good job after school. If many Americans and Nigerians schooling in the US can get that in schools that is not a-Harvard or a-Penn State, then I don't think we should worry too much. After all, the US degree is widely accepted and recognized all over the world compared to Nigerian degrees. I guess this is what Imperiouxx was trying to point out.

kpolli: Was the question comparing the 2 countries standard of education?

Whether or not he answered the question being asked, I just think Imperiouxx has not in anyway bashed our dear country NIGERIA as you've claimed. You may not be in agreement with his comparison, but the fact is that what he said about how the Nigerian government pay little attention to education is true. Only in Nigeria would Academic Staff Union of Universities go on strike for 5 months.

kpolli: Unnecessary..... You don't need to bash your country to make your point sir

I honestly don't see that as bashing. These are known facts.

Pablo Escobar

Your moniker reminds me of the strong man who goes by that name. Though dead, his name still scares me....lol. Is he your mentor/hero?

Chief Imperiouxx,

How are you doing? It's been 3 days oo. Hope everything is going well with you? Just checking.

regby: "What they have written"

No comment

Amefrica,

Do you even sleep at all? I am so sure you're NL'ing even in your dreams.....

^^^ On a lighter mood.

domex007: I will get it, one way or another, I really don't sEe any reason why I should be denied. I have God by ♍Ɣ‎ side, I have admission despite the low score, I have funds, I really don't fancy US, ♍Ɣ‎ uncle just feels I need to get any from the emotional stress from the loss of ♍Ɣ‎ dad and I also have another uncle that will watch over me in the US, S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴͡ I won't miss ♍Ɣ‎ dad's presence too much. With all said, what is the embassy's business in it? They will give whether they like it or not

Good luck to you. I look forward to joining the folks here in welcoming you to the USA when you grab your Visa.

Amefrica: Wow! How many days difference?

That was not what I said ooo....LoL. That was just an example.

Mine was 4 days or so.
