Okay, journey of 6 months officially came to an end today at around 7am. God bless the VO that approved my visa. i really dunno where to start from, but anytime i remember how the journey started with Lagosismyhome paying my application fee without collecting a dime, i'm always jolted back to sobriety. I'd drop transcript shortly.
Special shoutout to my virtual family; God's own scholars, especially Prof Charles, Adebimpe (aka Wikipedia), Egbon Kenny of Illinois, and Femi - i swear if this guy na VO, nobody go dey receive visa . i also appreciate Pastor Walspring, Texrem, Sureboy ,Francis, Bobority ... the list is endless mehn.
Goodluck to those going for their interview this week and the subsequent ones. I love this family mehn. God bless you all.

We landed in jfk international airport safely. waited and collected my luggage Straight to the the POE.i submitted my passport, my i-20 and one immigration form I filled while inside the plane the officer.
Officer :which state are going to
Me : Illinois

Me : southern Illinois university
Officer: do u have a relative in Illinois
Me: no
Officer : are u a new student or returning student
Me : new student
Officer :Good enjoy ur stay in USA
Me: Thanks.
I did my finger print, passport scan and stamped
After this, I was asked to see another guy.
Men, I was completely search and my two bags were searched also.After the searching, I was told welcome to united state of America.

I use the internet at jfk for 30 minutes before it stop working after which I have to go to kiosk within the airport to obtain ultra Mobile sim for 65 dollars, with this u can call Nigeria and Usa nos as long as u like for a month and also with 1 gig but unfortunately i was told my fone is not compatible with the sim that the sim is 4g while my fone(infinix hot 2 x510) is a 3g fone.Thanks God, I quickly collect my 65 dollars back.

From jfk,i took air train to Jamaica station and I paid 5 dollars, after this I paid another 2 dollars for e-train and I got down at 42nd Street greyhound bus station for my greyhound bus to Illinois.new York to Illinois is almost 21 hrs that is like a day journey and we had like 6 stop over.
America is beautiful. beautiful mega cities, clean and well structured cities, no traffic from new York to Illinois, beautiful landscape,free internet inside greyhound bus station and inside bus, 24 hrs light, Good road network, beautiful high rise structures.you won't understand until u are here that is when u can testify that these people have gone in term of development and infrastructures.

Morning, how has been the weather........?
Please ooooo, I need help. Have been trying to transfer money frm my Nigeria first bank account using their apps on my phone to a friend in Nigeria but app want me to put OTP code they sent to my Nigeria phone number.

Please, how can I do any transfer now?

kenniez26:
@ khulthum, I v answered this question before.I booked the ticket online while in Nigeria and it is always cheaper to book it like 2 weeks before ur departure date.www.wanderu.com

signature2012:

I don't think their is any way you can do the transfer since the code was sent to your naija number.You should have applied for FBN Online banking before leaving naija,with your token,you can always send money to any Account in naija from anywhere in the world.
You can call First contact on 0700347782668 or send them a Mail firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com or search them on facebook to chat a staff up.

Bro, I think you're confusing LSU with Texas A&M College Station

kinematicguy:


LSU is also like that, infact their petroleum engr dept. is the only school in the US, with a full scale well facility, like a live well.

Although I will add that, Tx A&M college station has more alumni in the oil and gas industry. Companies also recruit heavily at LSU.

Mayflowa:


Is Texas A & M in New Orleans. Is Mobil Headquarter in College Station ? Mtchewwwwwww. I actually know what I am saying!

Agreed, like LSU, Texas A & M has great opportunities. However University of Texas at Austin even has better opportunities than Texas A & M. But getting into these two schools is not beans. Admission is like hell. In contrast, LSU has good acceptance rate with same opportunities. This is the attraction.

Mayflowa:


Oh! You have defended me already! You are a wise man. Austin gets more recruitment than college station. Both schools are top school with very competitive admission why LSU ha's high acceptance rate. Thanks my guy
