slimmy05:
We have lots of Ghanaian and am sure they will put you through. YouTube plus few friends around got me going. I am the last in my family so I really didn't send cooking as a chore, though I left the house at a very early age on my own. Its nothing, you'll find it easy when you come here.

Thanks, have started with YouTube learning how to make stew
First trial ,I burnt the whole stew and was too salty

bigfrancis21:
I put on a bit of weight sometime in May which I noticed and cut down on my rations and number of times I eat in a day. I cook a lot at home and as we speak I have chicken stew with turkey, beans and ripe plantains, ogbono soup with okporoko and beef, fried chicken, curry stew and white rice in my fridge! I also have bread, eggs, fruits, candies for dessert, peak milk (yes peak milk! I buy peak milk here in Maryland), hot chocolate, bananas etc.

I cook fried rice every now and then and often cook fried rice and jollof rice intermittently. Dem don use my fried rice sabi me for work o.

One time I took fried rice to work and during break I was eating it. Men, the odourlicious aromatic aroma permeated the whole office. My Nigerian colleague at work stood up o and started looking for where this smell was coming from only for her to come to my desk and she shouted 'Jesus oh its you that's eating this food!'. She immediately got hungry and went for her break immediately to go and eat.

My boss equally came around and peeped at my food in amazement. Chai. I laugh die that day. I was the center of attention that day.

A bia na nni, si wepukwalu m aka o.

Am really sad and crying
Big boss,where can I learn how to cook

DARKLIGHT:
Pcbo, when are you traveling?

16th via Emirates

slimmy05:
yes you can survive. I will advice you try to cook at home. Don't eat out much except when you have log lectures and can't return home on time.

Best it learn how to do grocery shopping. You can ask a friend who's already been here for a while.

Thanks
I guess I have to start learning how to cook because all I cook is rice via rice cooker

Please gurus,can I survive on $300 per month in living expenses in the Midwest with room and utility already catered for?
Kindly need your opinion
Thanks

Please ,has anyone use Uba Africard in US before?

slimmy05:

It amazes me ,just waste of space
Better for him to have remain ghost on the thread ,no inspiration just want to rub it in our faces,lol

Transcript......
VO -good morning
Me -a very good morning sir
Vo -what are you going to the US for?
Me -to study for my Bachelors Degree program in computer science
Vo -were in U.S. You going
Me -Houston Texas
Vo -which university
Me -North America University Houston Texas
Vo -Did you apply any schools apart from this
Me -yes 3schools Oklahoma state university
East Tennessee state university
Vo -how admission did you get
Me -Oklahoma state university and North America university but East Tennessee state university is still pending.
Vo -how did you hear about this school
Me -during my SAT class I came across this paper which prove invaluable I did some digging by going to the school website and I impressed by the quality of the faculty.
Vo -Why this university instead of Oklahoma State university
Me -i have spoken to few international student and the assistant professor of computer scenice I was made to understand that in terms of education comparative NAU is standard.
Vo -do you have a SAT
Me -yes but unfortunately the score is not yet out.
Vo -who is sponsoring you?
Me -my guardian..he is my uncle
Vo -type for sometime and then said sorry you not qualify for the visa this time.

I don't know why and this is the school time I am being denied its really making me go crazy.

Your evidence didn't align with your story
1.Vo didn't understand why SAT scores are not out but you got admission based on SAT since collegeboard will alert you to your score before sending it to school
2.VO couldn't comprehend why you chose North American university over Oklahoma state ,when in terms of ranking it is no where near Oklahoma

In conclusion please work on reasons why you chose your university again
Good luck

most people seeking roommates on Craigslist are either crack heads, ex-convict, nudist, pedophiles, gays. You don't want such roommate.
