GLORY BE TO GOD. He is a faithful God. my Visa was approved on the 7th of November, 2017@ lagos Embassy, 6:30am Visa appointment .
I appreciate the inestimable effort made by bigfrancis21 in reviewing my transcript before the interview
V.O Good morning, smile
ME Good morning sir, smile too
V.O Can I have your passport
ME Yes, here you go
V.O And form em.... form I -20
ME: Yes, I quickly passed it

V.O Where are you going in the US
ME WSU Dayton, Ohio, for my masters degree program in Electrical and Electrical Engineering with specialization in power systems.
V.O Started typing for over 30 seconds
V.O Why that school
ME Because WSU is well known for its excellent research programs especially in Electrical and Electronic Engineering field. I will also have the opportunity to do my research work under prof. marian k. kazimierczuk whose present research interest in renewable energy tallies with my intended research topic. I have contacted him and he was very happy with my CV and GRE score.

V.O What type of renewable energy
ME solar energy. you know Nigeria is the most populous Africa Country and blessed with sunlight in excess, yet Nigeria is posed with great challenge on how to fulfil its energy demand to her citizens due to lack of practical skills. That's why I'm going to WSU to gather the necessary practical skills to utilise the available solar potentials.
My plan is to return to Nigeria upon successful completion of my graduate studies and embark on rural solar electrification in partnership with government like Enugu state rural electrification board, Anambra state rural electrification board etc and nongovernmental organisations like Alliance for rural development of Nigeria etc whereby solar modules will be installed for individuals in the communities at zero upfront cost , after which they will be charged for energy consumed monthly. By doing this, it will remove the initial installation cost factor that has hindered people in the communities from appreciating the prospects in off grid renewable energy supply.

V.O how often do people use solar energy in Nigeria
ME Nigerians use solar Energy very well but popularly in cities but my target is in the rural areas.
V.O Where do you work
My dad's Company.......... an Electrical Engineering company ,as a field Engineer
V.O You work in your father's business
ME yes sir
V.O Who is your sponsor
ME My dad
V.O he started typing for over one minute, stopped, circled my collection centre in the white paper and said congratulations, your visa has been approved..............
ME Thank you sir
ALL GLORY TO MY FAITHFUL GOD! Thank you BIGFRANCIS21 and Nairaland family
Just know everything about the course you want to study. All the best my people!!!

Me: In line with my career and research interest..She interrupts me 'Dont give me a career speech, just tell me why you chose this course.

Me: I chose this course coming from my UG degree in Industrial Microbiology this course will equip me with the necessary skills an Environmental and Geographic Informations Analyst to make policy recommendations for Land use/Land cover data, determine environmental parameters responsible for geo hazards like oil spillage also policy recommendations on environmental regulations and compliance as currently there's so much exploration and deploration going on in the country esp the Niger Delta region with little or no emphasis on conservation and sustainability, This course will also help me in citing of critical facilities like dams, waste disposal sites and nuclear reactors.. I will also (She cut me off )

VO: So why did u choose this school

Me: I needed school that offered these two course, Remote Sensing of Natural resources and Digital Geographic Inf systems as electives in my program concentration and I discovers that 60% of my program unlike other schools was based on core field experience. I've also established a research relationship with Prof Timothy Mulroney who has an ongoing research on Geomorphic processes and he's offered me a spot in his research team.
