Dear Nairalanders,

Okay, so I came into the country sometime mid-December and I did my repeat covid-19 test as required by government 7 days after, just before Xmas at the only listed Covid-19 test center in Ibadan (Medicaid Radio-Diagnostics Clinics, Adeoyo Junction) on the government website since it was the closest (and only listed) test center to me. However, up until now I'm yet to get my test result even after follow up email and call to the test center, and despite claims that the result takes just only 3 days (72 hours) max to deliver.

Now my concern - I need to do another Covid-19 test for my return flight out of Nigeria, so I'd appreciate if anyone can kindly recommend other good test centers apart from the above mentioned one preferably in Ibadan with better delivery and turn around time.

Thanks in advance.

Go to SYNLAB at Bodija,Ibadan. They delivered my result to my mail within 48hours.

V.O - Your research, what is your research interest? (I was almost lost because this wasn’t in the proposed transcript I prepared, and I didn’t prepare for this question since my program was course based)
Me - Environmental protection, policy and environmental laws (I just said the next that came to my head at that time, but was in line with my interests)

V.O - Tell me about this your research interest. (I didn’t prepare for this question, so I just started to talk about my course instead)

Me - (He stopped typing and started to look into my eyes this time, he was trying to put me off but I looked back into eyes while being tensed)
Environmental protection and policy involves the process of evaluating the social, economical and political factors that affects the environment when considering development.

THINGS I NOTICED.

-The questions can come in any format and they’ll come from the answers you give too, so be over-prepared and know how to wing your way with the answers you have in your head or what you have prepared.

-Like two of the guys that got denied there, from what I heard, were asked if they’ve traveled out Nigeria, they started to say they’ve been to Ondo state, Ogun state, I’ve been to about 22 states in Nigeria. Please answer according to what you filled in your DS-160.

-Read details in your I-20 & DS-160 well. There should be no conflicting details in them to your answers.

God bless everyone who posted their transcripts, experiences and advise here, I learnt a lot. God’s Grace be with everyone.

Hello, Congratulations to you!!!
How much deficit did you had on your i-20 please?

Discombulator:
Since senseless begging as become the order of the day I might as well help some people afterall I bet I'm the only person that is actually capable of making good on my word.
400 airtime for first 20 people, I don't care who you support i don't particularly like any of them anyways.
After 20 people if you drop your number you've just wasted your time

Elxandre:
My own advise is never buy an Android phone with less than 1gig ram!
injoo fire is what you need!

does it come with a pouch?

Lagusta:
Infinix hot has a removable battery ooo

And the reason why most peeps don't buy memory cards with their infinix hot is because it has in-built 16GB memory, 13GB for the user tho....

I use one, the phone is very nice and cheap...

You'll enjoy it

does injoo fire have a removable ba3?

parrotibaba:
@the two guys talking about windows phone ,I believe the op is interested in an Android phone not a windows phone so fцck off if u hv nothing to offer in dat department.





@op the phones u can get at dat price r -

- injoo fire
- tecno y5 or tecno y6
- tecno h6( but it's 4.5 inches)
- infinix hot

thank u very much

kekakuz:
I bought 3 for me and my friend and so far. av not experience it

hwz d operation like? Where did u get it? Nd hw much?

DNDROID:
thaneviller:

Hi.. Where are you or where would you be receiving it?

Next about the phone to get:
Innjoo Fire is the best sub 18k phone - according to spec-sheets and some hands on tests...
The camera is bad-a** great..
Flash is night good..
2gb ram says bring it on!
5inch screen is clear & cool for small hands and very portable...
It also has the biggest BATTERY - 2500MAH
(but u must be willing to try a new brand.. If u are outside lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt where they have service centers)

Next is an usual one.....
TECNO Y5
Its just all round cool and cheapest of them all at 15,400...
But it still second in battery capacity - 2300mAh
Everything else is ok....
The only down is the 8gb space... (u can get a memory card 16gb @1,600)

Infinix HOT...
A very popular option is like pure water...
Then the battery... Chai.. Is like leaking pure water... Very lazy...
Finally.. Then know issue of getting very HOT can not be overlooked... Please stay clear of this...
My friends call it 3in1 package...
(buy one hot; get 1 pressing iron, 1 stop watch & 1 phone)

Do not touch any lumia phone under 50k..
They are all WELL OVERPRICED BEAUTIFUL NONSENSE


blackiridis : thanks for the invitation

i heard injoo fire's battery does not charge 100%..hw true z it?

kekakuz:
I believe you know what you want and that is why you asked of android

injoo fire is 17700 and its the only phone with 2gig ram for that price.

but i heard dis injoo fire does nt charge 100%..hw true z dat?

Thanks to everyone that have been of support,my friends ova here are discouraging me frm getting a lumia fone wit diff sort of reasons ..m reli confused oo
