Hello house,

Your guy is here again.

I submitted my application online yesterday and just got a Biometrics mail today.

I’m in Port Harcourt, so naturally coming to do the Biometrics in Lagos should be the best option...but I’m open to Abuja.

I honestly don’t know which one to go for, but I will like to know if I need to book an appointment before Biometrics capture in Lagos and or Abuja?

Which of the two is a better option?

Many thanks to the house most especially michyehi, dubaiboy1 and mcobex for answering my earlier questions.

• Start early to prepare physically, mentally and financially to avoid rush, believe it or not frank reviewed my SOP last year and I got my admission letter April this year, I’m sure he was wondering Nawa ooo this girl sef.. LOL, I was ready for all and applied 3 weeks after.
• Submit a sincere application with necessary supporting documents backing up everything you say, they won’t waste your time if you’re straight to the point.
• Finally PRAYER… GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, ITS JUST TIME AND PATIENCE.
With all these things you will succeed… I pray that God will meet you all at the point of your needs. AMEN!!!!

Okay so it's testimony time and I think I should also testify on this platform because aside God, all the information I got was through this thread.

I have been following this thread since 2016 and I have read every single comment unfortunately I am not the type that comments.

So I got an internship program in Turkey last year and aside gathering my documents and reading through I have been very afraid about applying from a county that my status is an intern. But to cut the long story short I was encouraged by Austinpee and Osemigho I know they may not remember, so I finally applied and 4 days after I was sent a medical request surprisingly.
